HINTS TO Horse KEEPKRs.-
Never feed grain or give water to
a horse when warm from exercise.
Sweat is not always a sign of
warmth; place the hand on the
chest for test. Water given after
a meal is safer than to give it be-
fore.


Never drive fast or draw them
hard Immediately after giving them
food or drink. s


Never drive faster than a walk
with heavy loads,


Do not let horses stand long in
the stable at any time Of the year,
without exercising. p


Feed regularly, and in quantity
according to the appetite of the
animal and the labor it performs.


Do not drive or work long in
storms. .-. .u..a.... ...- ..


Do not let the horses stand IN

themselves there. '#o H".a"a s...-

SIR: The project for changing the government of
the Episcopal Church in the United States as adopted
after tho Revolution by introducing the Anglican
system of Provincial Councils, with an Archbishop
or Metropolitan, to which we alluded last week, dur


ing the debate of the Diocesan Convention. will form
one of the most interesting and important subjects
for discussion in the General Triennial Convention
now in session in Trinity Chapel The present Con-
stitution adopted in 17s9 the birthyear of the
National Constitution, and, as Bishop Hobart hap
PLY showed in carefully drawn parallel, its authors
had accorded the framework of its government to
the sentiments of the people and the form of the
new Republic The separate Dioceses were equally


independent of each other each had its annual con-
yention composed of two orders-the officiating
clergy and lay delegates from each parish, presided
over by its Bishop and each Diocesan Convention
sent equal number of clerical and lay delegates
to form the Lower House of its General or National
Convention in which the Upper House, correspond
ing TO the Senate was composed of Bishops Of equal
dignity, however great might be the disparity in the
extent, the population, or the importance of their
respective Dioceses. Within a few years past,
eral Dioceses have been divided but thus far the
equality of the Doceses and the parity of the Bish
ops have been preserved. In 1884, the Rev. Dr.
Mcyickar introduced into tho Diocesan Convention
Of New-York, in Wow of tho early requirements
of a larger number of Bishops resolution ask


ing the General Convention to organize g tho
Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States into Provinces" An accompanying plan
provided that each province should include
four or more Dioceses, and have Provincial
Council of two houses the upper of the Bishops and

The Editor of The World, in the mysterious
recesses of the Manhattan Club, Grrayed like
Solomon in all his glory possibly beholding
the world in rose color through the luster of n
delicate glass of the most exquisite of all
champagncs, and debating at once five differ
ent articles TO five secretaries upon the pov
erty and misery to which he has been re-
duced by Radical taxation, is one of the most
touching pictures of consistency that we have
been permitted to gaze upon from distance.
"You see before YOU" said Mr.. Micawber, "a

short time after he was seen eating walnuts
out of paper bag, with bottle sticking out
of his breast pocket. 1t is in such condition
that we find those gentlemen who most loudly
bewail the sulleriIgs inflicted upon them by
the bloated bondholders of the Republican
party. Starvation does not seem to make
them lean, and, oppressed wretches that they
are, ruled by tyrants who deny them the right
of free speech, they manage to say all that
they please, and much more than they should.


Oppressive taxation is the cry of party to
which all our taxation is due But for the
known disloyalty of the Democracy of the
North, the Rebellion would never have been
attempted by the South. But for its desperate
and consistent efforts to prevent the Govern
ment from putting down the Rebellion, the
war would have had speedy close The
Southern Confedcracy existed only because
of the divisions of the North. When Demo
cratic papers exaggerated all Union defeats
and sneered at all Union victories when men
like Vallandigham declared the war unholy,
and Seymour pronounced it failure; when
every Democratic success Mt the polls was
hailed by the South as Rebel triumph-how
could we hope to end the war speedily Had
il not been for Seymour, and The World, and
the rest of the Democracy, victory would
have been won in 1862 That the war is
ended now is in spite of their efforts to
prolong it.


Two-thirds of our debt, at least, are the
creation of the Democratic party. That party
more than doubled the expense of suppressing
the Rebellion; its hostility to the Government
deprecated the credit of the Government at
home and abroad, just as its threats of repu-
diation are now our greatest financial embar-
rassmcnt. Whenever tho people are told OF
the monstrous debt they must bear, let them

The National Intelligenccr says that the funding bill was hurried into the Presidents hands, along with a mass of others, at only quarter of an hour before adjournment, and that the Prcsi- dent very properly refused to under take the examination of so important q bill in so short time, and to return it either with or without his signature. The same paper is satisfied that he would have formally vetoed it had Congress remained in session longer. As it is, though the bill fails to be- come law, its passage was important as indicating the design of radical legislation to exempt bondholders from taxation, while piling up taxes on all the productive interests of the country, to mortgage the industry of the people to the interest of tho bonds for forty years, and to prevent the country from relieving itself from any part of the principal of the national debt by pay ing "lawful money"-the only money the people are allowed to use-within the same period. For such would be the effect of the funding bill. Under this policy the lot of the laborer would be pitiahle in the last degree. Ground between the upper and neither mill- stones of crushing taxation and high and constantly rising prices, bare exis- tence with the scantest neccssaries of life would be the utmost that he could look for. As for the earnings of his industry, one third would be devoted to illustrating the 'blessing" of the national debt, and he would have to wage life-and-death war with the cormorant minions of the radical regime to keep any part of the other Wo-thirds.-N. o.
