According to the experience of Mr. Wiley Davis, of Illinois, a large cattle grower, fresh meat is a preventive o! hog cholera. Ho says his hogs were about to take the hog cholera when the curs killed two steers, and his hogs gorged them selves, and have been healthy ever since. He thinks that forcing hogs afflicted with the symptoms of cholera to move about is one of the best things for them, next to feeding flesh and providing them a mix ture of ashes, salt and lime. John Allen of Urbana, in reply to a question ns to the cholera, said he had arrested it among his swine, by feeding meat, and when asked what sort of meat was best for that purpose said that “cracklings are the best if can get thorn, Lut refuse meat from the smoko htmse, surplus fat or lean shanks, rinds, etc., any kind of meat will unswer the purpose. ’’ Mr. Allen added, so far us his experience went, there was no other remedy worth anything •rtfttse then who havre hogs cholera, or iho’ayuiptoms tltei'AßWKl fresh moat of almost any kind, and it does not prove effective. thqjTablqs^** Thero is a story of a noblfljonl wlio once gave his friend a golden snuff box, in the cover of which an ass' head was painted. Not much flattered by this present, and wishing to turn the tables on the author of the joke, the recipient took out the ass and inserted the portrait of the lord. The next day lit dinner he, as if by accident, put his box upon the table. The lord, who wished to amuse his guests at the expense of his friend, made mention of the snuff-box, and aroused the curiosty of those around him. A ludy asked to see it. It was passed to her. Shu opened it and exclaimed: 1 ‘Per fect! It is a striking likeuess. Indeed, my lord, it is one of the best portraits of you that I havo ever seen.” The lord was naturally much embarrassed at (lie joke, which lit- thought was so bard upon him. While he was reflecting upon the offensiveness of it, the lady passed the box to her neighbor, who made simi lar remarks about it. The box thus went arouud the table, each expatiating upon the resemblance. The nobleman was much astonished at this course of things; hut, when it came'his turn to look, had to join in the laughter too, and confess that his friend had got the best of him. York after a some what 4U<icourse, has at last realised the truUi, and now comes out boldly and and without hesitation in con demnation of the piesent policy of the re imyic..n party* mid thinks wi< I (tjUjitei sumium, the CCfm. - e r. o g 'at: five unj /; iate.fyuty hner of ills . 3KnP<‘ fntiuwing, an i ■Sp l ! and Lien i i- iiwrc ci it - ■i, party to ie*gue with the Vavka:M. Keib'i... . Spcucers and tUhamberiaius it ought to be beaten. No party deserves sitccass or cun safely hold power over the country which deliberately ccntiimcs its alliance with and support of suck men. If tov. Haves cannot now control hi- fellow load ers, how can he, with the best intentions, be exported to control them alter elec tion? If by silence he now consents to such dangerous and violent interference is lie not fatally eoimuiited to it? And is it sale to elect a President who is silent at s-u h a tjinc. and thus consents bi focr hand fo the most extreme policy of the most extreme wing of his party? Is it i not, contrary, in the highest degreo dan- | gerous to the country? The iniquitous ! hnhriiK ciirjiHH and Force hill was defeated j with great difficulty two winters ago. Hut the very men who then favored and urged that, monstrous act, and who have ever since regretted that it was not passed, are now the leaders, the controlling man agers, of the republican party. If they arc successful in November w'll they not regard their policy as approved, and go on for other four years with .Southern legislation whose only consequence would he to crcuto permanent civil disorders over a large part of the Union, to pros trate industry and perpetuate hatred and discord? And will they stop with the South? Will they hesitate hereafter to attempt that in Northern States which now they so vehemently do in the Southern?” A correspondent of the London Agri cultural Gazette tells a good story of a horse trade in North Lancashire. Not long ago a gentleman asked a friend, a retired farmer, to go with him to look at a horse he thought of buying. A dispute arose among the parties with regard to the ago of the animal. The dealer pro tested that the age he hud given was correct —he had had him so many years, nnd he bought him from the breeder. “You did no such thing,” said the farm er; “if I am not mistaken, I bred the horse myself" An altercation followed; each side was positi re, and the buyer was on the horns of a dilemma. At length the farmer settled it thus: “You say the horse is so old—l say he is fiv years older; you ask £SO for him—l say £.lO is enough. I will wager a£s note that I prove I am correct, and on the result the price shall depend. Let the horse be taken into the yard of my late farm; let the harness be taken from of) him, and if he does not at once, without any direc tion go into siall No. 3 in the stable, then I will forfeit the £5, and you shall have £SO for the horse. If lie doe: as I say, then you sell him for £3O, and lose your bet of £5.” 'Hie dealer Was in a comer, but be could not find any pretext for declining the challenge. The horse was taken to the farm yard (the stable not being visible from the part whore he wa unharnessed) and as soon as the gear wa takon off he gave hiui-clI a shake, trotted round a corner of the yard, went direct to stall No. 3, and was apparently quite at home in his new old quarters- The sequel was that, the buyer obtained bis horse at a fair value, the farmer got his £5, and the biter was well bit. , Preserved on Ice. About 40,000 pounds of fossil ivory .that is to say, the trunks of at least 100 m ammoth —aro bartered fur every year in New Siberia. As many as ten have boon found lying together in the ‘Tundra weighing from Notwithstanding the large nnmut already carried away, the stores of fossil ivory do not appear to diminish. In many places near the mouths of the great rivers flow ing into the Arctic Ocean tho bones and trunks of these antediluvian pachyderms lie scattered about like the relics of a plowed up bntt'o field. Entire mam moths have occasionally been discovered, not only with the skin—which was pro tcctcd with a double covering of hair and wool—entire, but with the fleshy portions of the body in such a state of preservation that they have afforded food to dogs and wild beasts. Ihe mammoths appear to have been suddenly enveloped in ice. or to have sunk into mud which was on the point of congealing, and which, before the process of decay could commence, froze around the bodies and preserved diem in the condition in which they perished. It is thus that they are occasionally found when a landslip occurs in the frozen soil of tho Siberian eoasi, which never thaws even during the greatest heat of summer, to a depth of more than two feet; and in this way, within a perion of a century and a half, live or six of these curious corp os have come to light from tlicir icy gravi s. Avery perfect specimen of the mammoth in this state was discovered in the autumn of lt>os near tho mouth of the Jcni-si.

Kvcry sentiment of patriotism dictates a union liuie, and a union at once. Opposition to a union can mean only one tiling, and that is friendship to the lii•publican-. “We appeal to the masses of honest voters to make their sentiments known, and to warn those who assume to be lead ers that there must be harmony now , no matter what, may take place hereafter. The watchword should be: The Union of the Democracy for the Sake of the Union. “The division cannot be healed too speedily.” irinHH-ii gj-esarteje Dr. W. C.
