An Intelligent Horse.

Parsons (Kas.) Eclipse; On Sunday q
mover in a prairie schooner passed
through the city going west. He had a
small drove Of mules and several horses,
all loose, following the wagon and among
them was O beautiful sorrel horse, with
bride and saddle on, but no rider. People
on the streets noticed that the sorTei
seemed TO be overseeing the herd, and
would round them up occasionally. AS the
caravan reached Central avenue, the soF-
rel ran ahead and stood In the middle OF
the street, looking up n down, as IL
watching for danger. After satisfying
himself that the way was clear ne rounded
up the herd and the carayan started
again. Having reaches the Katy"
crossing, the animal again went ahead
and. standing ia the center OF the tracks
looked intently each way. When the herd
had partially crossed the track he sud
denly pricked up his ears and hurrying 70
the rear, he rushed the herd across the
run. a train was coming from the south
and passed shortly after he had got safe
ly over He hurried TO the next track,
which branches on several rods from the
main line. and seeing a train coming from
the opposite direction, rounded up his
herd and waited until II passed. IT was a
most remarkable performance. witnessed
by a large number of people on the
streets. The horse was evidently a high
bred animal, built like a racer, with small
ears and very intelligent head. During all
the time the mover did not get out Of his
wagon, but left the management Of the
whole matter to the horse.

engagement before he was able to fly out
ana pledge himself TO opposition, for to an

an immense contempt for men who threat

But Mona felt infinitely depressed, and
~singularly lonely. II she could but see the

that she could ever tell even that dear

would bring relief.

during the war, after encountering an obsti-
nate filibuster, which STAYED off a vote on
two previous private bill days, was piloted
to its passage in the House last Friday by
Mr.. Cooper Of Texas, who was in charge of
the measure. The friends of the measure
proved themselves in an overwhelming ma
jority and the opposition to-day finding it
could hold out no longer, reluctantly
yielded. The vote on the bill was 1877.
THE military academy appropriation bill
was agreed to on Monday by the sub-com-
mittee of the committee on military affairs.
1t carries total of $3.50, l40 against est-
mates made by the department of S640,3l0.
1t is also total decrease OF $40, 432 from

portant additional item over last year is
$40 900 for new dock to replace the old

called for $4,000 for a new library at the in
stitution but the subcommittee rejected it.
BY vote of 1872 to 1872 the House on Mon
day buried the Teller resolution declaring
the bonds of the United States payable in
silver. The vote was reached after five
hours of debate under special order adopt
ed at the opening of the session. The
limited time allowed for debate and the
pressure of members for an opportunity to
be heard was so great that the leaders on
both sides were compelled to farm out the
time by minutes. This detracted much
from the continuity of the discussion but it
also in measure intensified the interest.
The galleries were crowded all day long
and the combatants on the floor were cheer
ed by their respective sympathzers.
Many of the senators from the other end Of
the Capitol were present to listen to the ar
guments.

DRY BRONCHITIS.
| From DIR. Hunters Lectures on the Progress
of Medical Science In Lung Diseases

From DIR. Hunters Lectures on the Progress
of Medical Science in Lung Diseases
There is another form, called dry bronchitis,
in which the matter expectorated is neither
profuse nor watery nor purulent. 1t is glu-
tinous kind Of stuff, of blush white or pearly
gray color. The chronic inflammation which
causes it thickens the mucous me brane,
thereby narrowing the tubes through which we
breathe, and shortening and expressing the
breath. Often tubes of considerable size be-
come completely clogged by this tough phlegm
causing great difficulty in breathing.
OF all the forms Of bronchitis this is the
most common: I'm France" says Laennec,
fully, one-half of the people are found on
careful examination, to have thckenng Of
some portion of the mucous lining of the lungs,
caused by dry bronchitis" 1t is the most in
sidious OF lung complaints. Those suffering
from 1t have at first only slight cough; it may
be only thrilling coughing spell in the morn
ing; they. have a chilly sensation in the fore
noon, and toward evening are feverish.
There is always feeling of more or less
tightness and oppression in the chest, which
is relieved from time to time by coughing up a
quantity of the tough; ielly-lke matter before
described. Sometimes the cough comes on in
paroxysms, attended by great oppression and
distress, like asthma. On inquiry OF person
so affected if he has any lung trouble, he will
almost certainly answer no, and yet during
your conversation will perhaps hack and raise
this jelly like mucus half dozen times.
| Here we have lung disease which directly
tends to consumption, and has most of the
symptoms of that disease, and yet is not con-
sumption at all When it ends fatally, as it
often does, an examinati of the lungs re.
veals neither tubercles, liberation, nor the
bacilli of tuberculosis.
In such cases death generally results from
suffocation caused by sudden attack of con-
gestion, which, supervening on the chronic
disease, fills the lungs with viscid mucus that
the patient, in his weakened condition, is un
