THE HORSE In BATTLE.

The part which a cavalry horse
takes in battle can never be filled by
any machine, no matter what its capa-
bilities. The horse seems, in the
hour of battle at least, to take on
characteristics which belong only to
a being endowed with reason. He
partakes of the hopes and fears of the
conflict, the same as his rider. If he
has been six months in the service he
knows every bugle call. AS the col
umn swings into line and waits, the
horse grows nervous with waiting, and
if the wait be long, will often tremble
and sweat. AS the call comes to ad-
vance, the rider can feel him working
at the bit with his tongue to get it be-
tween his teeth. AS he moves out he
will either try to get on faster or bolt
The lines will carry him forward, and
after minute he will lay back his
ears, and one can feel his sudden re-
solve to brave the worst and have
done with it as soon as possible. A
man seldom cries out when hit in the
turmoil of battle, and 1t is the same
with a horse. Five troopers out of
six when struck with bullet are out
of their saddle in minute. If hit
in the shoulder or breast, up go their
hands and they get heavy fall; if in
the leg, foot or arm, they fall forward
and roll off. Even with foot cut off
by jagged piece of she'll horse will
not drop. 1t Is only when shot IN the
head or heart that he comes down.
The horse that loses his rider and is
unwounded himself will continue to
run with his set of fouIs until some
movement throws him out. Then he
goes galloping here and there, neigh
ing with fear and alarm, but will not
leave the field. When he has come
upon several riderless steeds they fall
in and keep together, and the rally of
the bugle often will bring them into
the ranks together. .-Exchange

Take Scott's Emulsion for it. For
weak Indigestion, for defective nour-
ishment, for consumption, take

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh that Con-
tain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is ten-fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo
o., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure
be sure you get the genuine. 1t is
taken internally, and made in Toledo,
Ohio, by F. j. Cheney & Co. Testi-

Markets Produce in Grants Pa SIS

A. n. Hubert was in Grants Pass
Monday with his team to unload a
carload of hay which he had here from
Gold Hill. This is the third car of
hay that Mr.. Hubert has shipped to
Grants Pass this spring. He also
markets much of his other produce
here, but ships most of 1t by rail.
road as the wagon road down Rogue
river is not in condition that makes
it possible for team to draw full
load. And what is to the detriment
of Grants Pass the nearer to town
the worse the road, the section by the
Dry Diggings being the heaviest pull
on the entire road. especially in the
winter. Mr.. Hubert thinks Grants
Pass would find 1t profitable invest
ment to build new road at the Dry
Diggings hill and have the road in
stead of going over the hill, with a
heavy grade ON each side, and nearly
impossible mud in the winter. go
around the foot of the hill where
level route could be had.
With road ON the easy grade that
could be had down Rogue river and
macadamized with rock that is so
convenient Mr.. Hubert is quite sure
that Grants Pass could draw large
business from the farm districts up
Rogue river, both in securing produce
and in gaining trade.
Mr.. Hubert has a grain and hay
farm in Sans Valley of 800 acres and
he says that crop prospects in his
vicinity are of the best. He has 100
acres to wheat that gives promise of
a big yield and his alfalfa meadow
will cut the usual big crops of hay.
Mr.. Hubert is summer fallowing 1876
acres which he will SOW to wheat this
fall.
