CATTLE.
Mr. Editor ,—All cattle should have
the curry comb and brush used up n
them. The inattention of farmers, and
those who raise a small number of cat
tle, to the currying and brushing of
them, causes many a disease, that they
cannot account for.
There is not a farmer or small raiser
of cattle iu Middle 'Georgia, hut who
could, with alight pains have each one
of all his stock curried and brushed. ;f
not every day. at least twice a week. —
If they knew the very many ills, dis
eases and deaths, that happens to cattle
from their licking of themselves, and
swallowing the large amount of loose
hair, that is taken from the body, by
the great force of their powerful
tongues,—which has as 'much power
when used in licking, as a rough, coarse
file iu the hands of a ten or twelve year
old ' o , —ev> r; one would undoubtedly
use the curry comb and brush upon
their cattle. Independent of the many
diseases that a free use of the curry
comb and brush prevents, cattle that
are used in this way fatten much faster.
To speak whereof I know, in theex
tensive cattle raising sections of Texas,
w here it is not uncommon for one per
son to own ten thousand head, (and it
would be utterly impossible to curry
and brush them all.) you will find in
the remains of dead cattle, a ball almost
perfectly round, varying in size from
the smallest to the largest orange
whose outside color and cover resem
ble that fungus that gr. ws by the side
of decaying stumps arid logs, and which
bovs use to call snuffboxes, llut these
balls arc of the greatest toughness, nnd
when the ash colored surface is remov
ed, the inside is composed of the most
intricate weaving of hair, so close and
compact that it is with the greatest dif
ficulty that you can'makc any incision
of any sort, and in fact, to my mind,
one ol the curiosities of nature. These
balls caused by a gradual accumulation
of hair taken from the body of the ani
mal, by the licking of the tongue, arid
carried into the stomach, is not til
ways taken off by the draught, but
forms a deposit around which there is
a gradual accretion, until it can get no
larger, and then is formed around it an
ashncolored cover. What takes place
when the hair is in the paunch, is
merely conjecture, and this accounting
for it may he entirely erroneous; but
this description of the hair bail that
kills the animal, is exact, from persnn
al observation.
What great suffering and torture the
pour animal must undergo, when in
ture is trying to remove this bail lr on
the mouth of the duet, that leads from
the paunch to the intestines; and
when the attempt is unsuccessful the
helpless brute uiu.-t die, and no treat
utent that man can invent in this stage
.would avail; all of which could be pro
vented by the use of the curry comb
.and brush in the first instance.

Tin" Shadow ol 11:< Greul
Fraud.
“Leave all hope behind, ye who
enter here,” were the words which
Dante's gloomy imagination read,
written over the dark rocky portals
of the infernal regions. It might.
perhaps, apply equally well to all
•who enter into official relations
with Rutherford B. Hayes. That
statesmafi appears to be like the
electric fish that numbs and para
lyzes all who corno into contact
with him, whether as friend or foo.
Friends that ilock to his service
and there be many who love office
seem to suffer instant blight.—
Fair reputations become tainted,
great talents prostituted, vast ener
gies torpid and dead. It is because
Mr. Rutherford B. Ilayes is a
fraud.
But if blight, torpor, and death
fall .upon the abandoned servants
and open enemies of Mr. Hayes,
what happens to those who seek to
live under his baleful shadow ? How
fair did Mr. Evarts staud before
he Became the conscious agent and
spokesman of fraud and took his fee
in Cabinet position ? How lair
did Carl Schurz stand before he
knowingly and shamelessly took a
Cabinet position of a fraud ; and
now all the hypocrisies of his polit
ical life are being torn away, leav
ing him naked to public contempt.
How fair did Stanley Matthews
stand ? Yet by his devotion to
Ilayes he lost the respect of his own
partv and is to-day a fallen man.
Let the reader tell over to himself
the list of all those who have served
Hayes, and he will find that those
who served him host are now mo6t
bankrupt of respect, usefulness, or
influence. It is because he is a
fraud. Leave all hope behind, yc
who enter hero!—Baltimore Ca
aette.
KnerileitioiM Out rage,
The other night some fiend in
human shape, fit for deeds of evil
that make strong men shudder,en
tered the room in Boone Block oc
cupied by Prof. J. D. Hunt, Cov
ington editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial, and stole his clothes !
The horror and distress of the vic
tim of this infamous outrage, and
tho fierce indignation of his report
orial brethren cannot he described,
lie had to lio in bed instead of
at his desk while another suit was
made up for him by contributions
from the Covington press gang.—
His cousin Joe furnished the shoes,
only sligfitly run down at the heel;
Dittoe, of the Newport Local, sent
over a pair of pants, with an ele
gant blue patch on the seat ; Hal
lum contributed a coat, with near
ly all of the tail and one whole
sleeve left ; Jimmy Wiggins sent a
vest which, as only three buttons
were gone, and the slit in the back
could not be seen, and the torn
arm-holes could bo easily mended,
ihe grateful recipient declined to
receive except as a loan ; Edgar
gave a pair of bifuricated nether
garments, which had no strings, but
one leg was really almost as good as
new ; DeMalmedy furnished an un
dershirt that had no fault at all,
the absence of the arms and half
the back being rather a recommen
dation this weather; DeGruyter
gave a plug hat that will look very
nice when done over, which Brown
will do for seventy-five cents ; we
had the pleasure of sending in a
pair of socks with nice red stripes
around the tops, and perfect in
every respect except the holes in
the toes and heels ; Calkins sent
his blossing Everything fitted
nicely, and thus gavly attired, with
his losses made good, the gallant
Prof, sallied proudly forth, the ad
miration of all beholders, and his
sparkling column in the Commer
cial next morning evinced the noble
emotion that stirred his breast as
bethought of his generous friends
Items will not dodge the stolen
clothes now they are not on the
Hunt as they “used to was.’’

The maddest man in Burlington
lives out on Fifth street. List
Sunday night he had a culb in his
hand and was chasing a cat across
the back yard, and never noticed
the pump handle was sticking
straight out in front of him until
he was wrapped around it. Then
it was too late to do any good, and
by the time ho had gathered
strength enough to fall to the
ground, the cat was only about a
tnile and a half this sjdc of the
North Star.—- Ilawkeye.
