Terms EDEN TAYLOR _ , G ®*@ian for his Children, fl. 23d, 1879—tps, •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.” TEACH TOUR BOYS. 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. Several addi iomd Bctish regiments and a battery of the Royal Artillery are to sail immediately for Natal. 'The British foioes in South Africa number in Ml uine battalions, or seven thousand five hundred officers and men. Of these four thousand five hundred and eighteen are English, three Inmdred and • ghiy -five Irishmen and two hundred and one Scotchmen. Forty-eight of the. offi-jers are Irish aud one hundred Hud seventy .-right are English. 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.” Teach them that a true lady may be found iu calico quite as frequently as in velvet.

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.

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.

He might as well compress a ten of dynamite iu to a single cartridge; sup posing such package to be possible, aud then leave the deadly parcel lying loose ou the table. Oyauide of potassium is not like prussic acid, volatile. It is a white powder, rather resembling Hour or chalk. It is, however so poisonous that a mere pinch of it sprinkled over au open wound or sore, will cuujc al-. most instantaneous death. 'That » frag ment almost imperceptible to the eye will, if swallowed, prove equally fatal; aud that its mere smell has before now produced immediate death. BOILED IS A GEYSER. The Auti-Poligamy Society at Salt Lake City, Utah, have adopted a me morial: o Congress setting forth that while Delegate Cannon and represenatives of the Mormon Church are petitioning foi •amnesty and promising obedience, the 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- my in U tab, he having five wives at 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 made. The society ask for legislation to make the general reputation of con jugal relation a proof of marriage and the living together in pol’gamy to con stitute the offence. When the train conveying Gen.
