•Few persons who purchase and use
-horses are able to make a selection of
an animal with a sufficient knowledge
of what tlfty are buying. It is rarely
that a horse is bought except upon
faith in the declarations of the seller,
and a Imp-hazard sort of dependence
upon luck. The consequence is that
■when a man is very frequently * ‘stuck
’ in liis (bargain, and when tie suspects
-or discovers-it, hi thinks it no harm
'to put off the beast upon some other
purchaser in tire same way that it was
palmed off on him. “is he all right?”
-asks the would-be purchaser; “Well,
I bought so, and so far as I know, i.e
is all right,” replies the seller, trying
to make-believe-to-his own -conscience
tlmt he really knows -very little, al
though he may think a great deal.
Now, it is very easy for any person
of judgment to learn to know, when
•he is buying ahorse, whether the an
imal is sound or not. Flemishes speak
for themselves, nnsoundness requires
a close iuspec.iou and some knowledge,
for detection. The feet are the most
usual seat of unsouuduess in work
horses. From the goueral carelessness
of caring for horses and the reckless
manner of using them, there is a
large propoitiou -of them unsound
in the feet. But disease of the feet is
easily detected, although there may
•be no apparent lameness. ’ An inten
ding purchaser .should Lave the horse
brought out before him, and watch the
animal as he stands at rest. If the
owner is continually starting Abe “show
off,” something may be suspected; be
cause it is when the horse is -at per.
feet rest that liis weak points are di
vulged. If the horse is sound he will
stand squarely on his limbs, without
moving any of them, the feet “being
placed flat upon the ground and all
1 he legs plumb and naturally posed;
If one foot is thrown forward with the
toe pointing to the ground nud the
liet'l raised, or if the foot is lifted from
the ground hihIYIk; weight taken from
it, disease navjelar bone may be sus
pected, or at least tenderness which is
ift precusor of disease. If the foot "is
thrown oil', the toe raised and the heel
brought down, the horse has sufferedi
from lamsuitis— founder— or the back
smews have been sprained, and he is of
no future value. When the feet are
all drawn together beneath the horse,
tf there has been no disease, tliere is
c misplacement of the limbs at leash;'
and a weak disposition of the muscles.
If the horse sfauds with his feet spread!
apart, or straddles with the. hind legs,
there is a -wedkaioss of the lions and
kidneys .are disordered. When the
knees arc.bent and the legs totter Sad
tremble, the beast has been ruined l»y
heavy pulling, and will never be right
ftgaiu. (Whatever rest and treatment
he may have. Contracted or ill-
formed hoofs speak for themselves.
If the eyes are of a 1-lnish or milky
cast, they constitutionally tend to op-
tlialmia and there will be certain
trouble these. If the ears are thrown
(backward, the temper i.« bad.; if they
arc thrown forward nud the horse
starts nervously at every movement or
sound, he .will probably be a shier
and'unsafe to drive, If the hind legs
are scarred, be has been a kicker.
If the knees are blemished, he is apt
to stumble. If the skin is rough and
harsh, and does not move ea-ily and
smoothly to the toi ch, the 1 o se is a
heavy eater and bus poor digestion.
When these peculiarities are absent,
and there is nothing to cause suspi
cion in any other way, the horse may
be taken to l e all right so far as sound
ness of foot, limb and digestive organs
are concerned. Disease or imporfec-
rion as the respiratory organs may be
discovered by pinching or holding the
throat, by observing the behavior -of
the horse when he is speeded, or by
placing the ear at the side of the chest,
when any sound heard, other than a
clear, resonant one, is indicative of
trouble.
-ETIQjJETTEE aND EARTH-
Q CAKES.
The following extract from a travel
er’s letter to his daughter, dated at
San Miguel, in San Salvador, -Central
America, January 2, 1879, gives a live
ly view cf the social effects produced
by a slight shock of an earthquake:
'“At San Miguel I experienced a me
dium-sized shock of :an earthquake.
The ‘quake’ occurred at 10:30 o’clock,
just as I lay hoping to fall of into a
cloze, as I bad to start on my journey at
4 o’clock in the morning. I started
earlierC I got out of bed almost in
stantly after I had got into it with
lightning rapidity, aud made for the
‘patio’or court yard to join the other
occupants of the house. The group
there assembled, -upon which the bright
moon shed a soft light, made a queer
picture aud demonstrated beyond a
cavil that society iu general is given 'to
overdressing, for all of ns there assem
bled beid a perfectly polite ‘couversa-
-zioufe’ without any other vestments
than those in which «i hasty retreat was
made from the trembling bed. Gradu
ally, however, as the fear subsided,
everybody seen.ed to discover that
etiquette demanded a ‘fuller’ dress,
und one by one the company slunk
away for an additional garment and
came back seemingly apologizing for
the scanty dress in which the . first
appearance at the party had been made.
’For my part, I ad led a pair of trou
sers to my ontfir, hauled my bed out
side i.iid got a- couple of hours’
rest. Now I iLink you want mo to
confess I was soared to death by the
earthquake. No such thing. I moved
out of the room at a (great .rate of
speed, it is true, but I did so only af
ter nil* cling maturely upon fhe im
propriety of mv in-ad coming in con
tract with the tiles and beams that at
any moment might descend. Besides,
there is something so truly inspiriting
and electrifying in an earthquake that
one cannot help iudnlgiug in violent,
pi-odestriuu exercise any more than a
di-voiee of Terpsichore can help twir
ling round to tunes of Strauss. In tnis
place I have only felt one slight
shock.”

Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces
Indians who is now in Washington, was
asked the other day what of all the
works of civilization seen in this his
first trip to the East had impressed him
most. It was expected that he would
name the Capitol, but he then replied,
without a moment’s hesitation, that the
the most wonderful thing he had ever
seen or dreamed of was the bridge over
the Mississippi River at St. Louis. He
could build a mountain of stone like
iha Capitol, he said, hut he .could not
bnild a spider’s web that would stand
alone in the air. He was afraid to cross
it, bnt he saw that the pale faces were
not afraid, so he wraped his blanket a-
rouufl him and trembled as the train
w.ji over.

Pis BaBleJFusion or Democrats and
Nationals in Ohio*—A Telegram from
Cincinnati says: “Plans for the fusion
of the National and Democratic parties
in Ohio, for the next campaign, are
taking shape. The Nationals have ap-
poiuted their convention for J'uo;e 4, iu
advance of the Democratic Conven
tion, and it is understood in political
circles that they will nominate General
Ewing for Governor, trusting to the
Democrats to ratify the nomination.
The conferences, which took placo at
the. Jackson banquet in January, and
the expressions of Democratic leaders
make the Nationals confident that the
Democratic Convention will not op
pose Ewing by nominating any body
else. At the election last fall, the Re
publicans cast 274,.000 votes, the Dem
ocrats 270,000 and the Nationals 38,.
000. The argument among both Na-'
tionals and Democrats is that the alli
ance will make victory certain, while
separate action will be sure to result m
defeat. The principal newspapers of
the Democracy iu the State aud most
Democratic leaders are iu substantial
harmony with the Nationals on all fi
nancial questions.”

England, though not a democratic
country, has democratic notions of jus
tice. Tlie Earl of Aylesiord recently
went to the Royal Italian'Opera House
aud insisted upon pushing his way iu
without showing his ticket. The offi
cials respectfully but firmly refused to
rllow him to take possession of a box
until he had conformed to the rules of
the place, -whereupon his lordship in
dulged in some very unlordJy language
and ended his abuse by an assault. He
was summoned to JBow street to an
swer for his conduct, and was fined £10
by the presiding Justice, who took oc
casion to say that had there been any
iujiiry to the assaulted parries the case
“could not have been met by a fine,
bnt must have been sent to the ses
sions tor trial.” England -does not
talk so much about equality aDd jus
tice as we do, but when these questions
assume practical form her law is no
respecter of persons, and is blind to
to ail distinctions of rank or social -con-'
dition.
Professor Wm. M Browne, of the
University of Georgia, lias prepared a
long reply to certain -comments of the
Examiner aud Chronicle upon the ex
amination papers aud text-books of
that institution. One of the questions
to which exception was-made was this:
Show honthe fact that the constitution
was submitted to the legislature of the,
several states,that the legislatures might
provide for its submission to conven
tions of the people of the several states,
provides that absolute sovereignty was
thereby recognized us residing with
the (people of each state respectively,
and not with the people of the states
as one mass.” The professor remarks;
“I eaunot change the facts. Mt. Mad

ers who (desired a national government
accepted the situation at the time, and
whether they liked it or not, declared
repeatedly that the government estab

thing else, aud so I am obhdged to
teach. Aud I uo this without auy

seeing the mistress of the establishment,
remarked, dolefully: “Madam, I see

praised for His kindness iu having thus
made you comfortable. I was once so

as-he said this he-assumed an attitude
of-abject (Sreplication.
“Well, what do you wan:?’’ she asked.
“In the providence of God, madam,
I am out of a shirt, and she that gireih
to the least of these,—”
The lady had disappeared and reap
peared with a shirt and g ve it to him.
He then remarked: In God’s harvest
of the righteous you will be given at
the resurrection a seat on the right side
and one of the brightest jewels in the
crown. ”
Disgusted at the man’s evident hy
pocrisy, she remarked: I’ve got plen
ty of. shirts, many more Ilian I want.
Send all of the other tramps here, and
I’ll supply them. Our nephew died of
yellow fersr in one of the infected dis
tricts, and as w* can’t boa them, and

The pious aspect of fhe man at once
underwent a change; ho dropped the
the small parcel, and after saving witli

went beuoo.

The Auti-Poligamy Society at Salt

morial: o Congress setting forth that while
Delegate Cannon and represenatives of
the Mormon Church are petitioning foi

Mormons in Utah pay no heed to the
decisions of the Supreme Court. Po-
iigamy is their religion, and laws
agviust it are considered siruply perse
cution. Apostle John Taylor, Presi
dent of the church, declares that the
Supreme Court has no right to inter
fere with his religion. This same a-
postle in 1853 published a * pamphlet in
France declaring there was no poliga-

the tiine. John ,W, Yonng has mar
ried his fith wife, James Welsh his
second and Johii White his third wife
since the Supreme Court decision was

From the Lake Democratic we learn
the following particulars of a horrible
death at the Sulphur Banks, Lake
county. About noon on Sunday, Dec-

brother to John Sutherland, one of the
bosses, and a native of Novi* Scotia,
while at work in the seventy-foot shaft
at the bottom of which is a geyser that
throws up a stream of water the tem
perature of which is 180 degrees Fah
renheit, missed -his footing and fell.
Ho dropped some fourteen feet into the
builing water, and was pulled out by
the boss .carpenter McCabe, who hud to
descend a ladder from whence Suther-
iau'd fell to rescue him, When rescued
his hair came off iu the hands ol £$S
recner, so frightfully was he scalded.
Dr. Dowues was telegraphed, nud ev
erything was doue for the poor sufferer,
hut without avail. He died in three
houis after the accident, u sad and
pitiable sight to look upou, He was a
sober, industrious man, and had work
