FARM, HABDEX A>D HOUSEHOLD, Harness Sores on Horses. There r-e few things which cause more d £* v and trouble in farm work during these hot iuonths of summer, than tile galls and sores that come upon the shoulders -nud backs ot work horses. A vast amount‘of h ar( i work must be done, and' the anfmqls are strong and wcll'enougil to .do it;, provided there wore_ not these painful sdre^that prevent - t theicapplying should'er themselves to tire labor. A horse witli or back galls, or . both, suffers pain when it is put into the _ harness. Tj^e-direct of these cause sores is the friction to which the parts are subjected, combined with the excessive . heat and great flow of ;sweat. Jnflam- mationand chafing of thq skin are pro¬ _ duced muph .more-readily in hpt than .: cold weather, because the conditions of greater friction are then present. The preventive is in reducing the friction to the least possible amount. In the first place, the harness must fit' closely and smoothly to tfife form of the horse, that the weight of the load maybe uniformly distributed surface beneath tho harness. Secondly, the horse should be in a healthy g tatef that t.h<f muscles and skin iffayle of bhdir normal toughness, and tjh.q, sweating not unnaturally pro: ■■ fuse. This involves the proper care and feeding of the horse. A poorly kept animjal, become or one not'ip.gpod health, will sort more readily than one in good health. When the sores are al¬ ready formed, a speedy cure is the thing needed. Sponge carefully the afflicted parts, to remove all accumulations from sweat. Then bathe with a lotion of alum and tannin, with a little laudanum added. All pressure upon the sore should be removed by a proper adjust¬ ment;of-tfift harness, and, if necessary, keep the horse from work until cured.— American Agriculturist. Tie Horse-s Frog. i we were to go to many a black¬ smith and. ask him if he did not think Dature had made a mistake in putting the clumsy frog into the horse’s foot, he would hardly be ready to say yes, and very likely would put on a sur- prised look, and perhaps explain that in some countries horses did very well without shoes, and so the frog was left to care for itself. But while not ready to take ground with you in any criticism of the plan upon which the foot is eon- structed, you have but to look in the corner of the shop where two horses Btand newly shod; lift up their feet an-’ observe for yourself, that if the smith lias not said it, the knife has said tho frog is a bad thing, and must be cut away. The horses do not stand on the ground, but nearly half an inch higher, on the iron of their shoes, and which takes the weight of the horse on the outer sMtell of the hoof. The practice is as sensible as it would be for a man who had to travel on all fours taking the weight on the nails of his fingers and toes rather than on the cushion which lies behind them, ft is always the soft part—the india rubber part of the feet of animals that , have such—which re ceives the weight, and not the shelly, hard part. We know what an elo- pbant’s foot is; it is all rubber-iike. The horse has the same encased in a shell, which gives Lim accuracy and steadiness of movpmeut. Now,' this casing proteptR, the frog. It grows slowly, the’ ffgf grows rapidly. The healthy foot of the colt shows a center, if not projecting, -atriefist level with the line of the hoof. He-'floeh-nfit take his weight wholly on the rim of-bis'feet. Old horses, would have rfdet natfi-fi like them if ,bip.cksmUhs woaid'uMdw the;' knew than nature,' and really knew enough to read her inten¬ tions. n'« - . « The object in shoeing the animal, aside from the occasional one of chang¬ ing its gait, is simply to prevent the wear and shattering of the outer shell, and to enable jt to take a-firmer hold of the gremnd,. escaping the slipping of the unshod fjogn. .It -is an unfortunate in¬ cident of our system of shoeing that the horse is rajsed fropt the ground as a boy is when he mounts stilts.. ; . ■ . •.

Any judge of hay can tell whether It lias been cuY’oarly or late, and will not pay by ten to fifteen cents per hun¬ dred as much as for the early cut. Hen. as Grub De.iroy.n. Burham’s'new poultry book gives the following; The French peasants have a model mode of feasting their fowls and at the same time of destroying the common grubworm with which in some districts their land is literally alive in early spring, and of which pests the farmer thus there rids himself. When the plowing is being done a large coop 'or bpx is placed.Upon wheels and filled with advanced chickens and fowls— forty, fifty or a liundred'in each—and this vehicle is taken to the -rnewly- plowing field and follows the open furrows. The fowls are let out of the perambulating coops as soon as the ground i3 turned over for a given space, and they are quickly busy in gobbling up the myriads of grubworms thrown to the surface by the plow, gorging themselves with these rare pickings, of which they seem inordinately fond. The coop is moved on as the birds ad¬ vance behind the plowmen, and the fowls feed constantly all day long in this way, devouring the grubs with in¬ tense gusto, and appearing never satis¬ fied so long as there is a stray worm in sight. Thus the French peasant clears his grounds previous to planting very effectually from these destructive and pestiferous devourers of the rootlings of tender plants. These grubs breed in countless numbers in the fields of Nor¬ mandy and Nivernais. At sunset the fowls invariably enter the trundeled coops, and are thus returned to their home quarters, or are kept confined till next day for a continuance of tins duty, which appears to be rare enjoyment to them. _ Hodges, Spring Bean Succotash —Take two quarts of beans, string, cut fine; boil two hours with water enough to cover without boiling dry; cut the corn from six ears and boil with beans twenty minuses; season with butter, pepper and salt'; just before dishing up add a tablespoonful of flour, moistened, also half a cup of sweet mi!k, and let it boil ten minutes.

Interoceanic Canal. The interoceanic canal concession which has been granted by Nicaragua to the American Provisional society is one of great value, conferring, as it does, the exclusive privilege to con¬ struct a ship-canal across the territory of Nicaragua. The canal is to be ol sufficient' dimensions to accommodate steamers of the largest class used be¬ tween Europe and America, and the locks are to be not less than five hun¬ dred feet long and twenty-eight feet deep. The concession is for ninety-nine years from the date of the opening of the canal for general traffic, and at the expiration of that period the Nicara¬ guan government is to take possession of the canal in perpetuity, with the right reserved to the company to lease it for another ninety-nine years. During the period of the concession the company io to have the privilege f o[ constructing a railway along the whole or any part of the canal, also such telegraph lines as it deems necessary for the construction and working of the canal, and these lines shall transmit public messages free of charge. The government of Nica¬ ragua will declare the terminal ports and the canal itself, throughout its length, to be neutral, and that the transit, in case of war between other powers and Nicaragua, shall be unin¬ terrupted. In general, the canal shall be open to free navigation of all vessels, provided they pay the dues and observe the regulations of the company. An effort will be made to secure a guarantee from ail powers of the neutrality of the canal, and of a zone along it, and of the sea in the vicinity of the terminal defined. ports where the dimensions will be It remains to be seen whether any im¬ mediate and practical result will come from this concession.

Forty millions of people, more or less, are now talking about Presidents and the presidency; and it is not out of place to give some interesting facts, his¬ torical and bonstitutibnai.in connection therewith. To begin, then, the word president, derived from the Latin, means to “ sit before”—t. e., an audienoe. The free translation of the term would be “chair¬ man.” And the office of a chairman is to act as presiding officer or moder. ator of an assemblage. The President of the United States holds his office for four years. He must be a native of the United States, an d at least thirty-five years of age. He is not elected by the popular vote, but by a College ol Electors chosen by the people. Buchanan’s popular vote was about 200,000 less than half the total cast; Lincoln’s about 900,000 less than half; and Hayes was 150,000 votes behind the number east for Tilden. From 1799 to 1824 the President was, in most cases, chosen by the legislatures of the States. The title at first conferred upon the President was “His Highness the Presi¬ dent of the United States and Protector of our Liberties.” After a while it was discontinued. The President receives a salary of $50,- 000 a year, with the White House as a residence free of charge, and light, fuel and attendants thrown in. Under the original provisions ot th( Constitution the person having the second highest number of votes foi President became Vice-President. By arrangement two men ol directly opposite political views might, and, in fact, did, become elected to tiie offices ol President and Vice-President in the same administration. The Presidents of the United States, from the adoption of the Constitution to the present time, have been as follows: George Washington, 1789 to 1797. John Adams, 1797 to 1801. Thomas Jefferson, 1801 to 1809. James Madison, 1809 to 1817. James Monroe, 1817 to 1825. John Quincy Adams, 1825 to 1829. Andrew Jackson, 1829 to 1837. Martin VanBuren, 1837 to 1811. William Hehry Harrison, 1841, when he died, and was succeeded by John Tyler, the Vice-President, who held office till 1845. James Knox Polk, 1845 to 1849. Zachary Taylor, 1849 to Jujy 5, 1850, when lie died, and was succeeded by Millard Fillmore, the Vice-President, who held office till 1853. Franklin Pierce, 1853 to 1857. Janies Buchanan, 1857 to 1861. Abraham Lincoln, 1861 to April 15, 1865, when he died, and was succeeded by Andrew Johnson,the Vice-President, who held office till 1869. Ulysses S. Grant, 1869 to 1877. Rutherford B. Hayes, from 1877 to 1881. Nineteen Presidents in ali, from tilt close of the provisional government til! the present. According to the Constitution, th( President and Vice-President cannot be chosen from the same State. Of the nineteen Presidents, sever came from Yltginia—Washington, Jef¬ ferson, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, and Taylor; two from Massa¬ chusetts—John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams; one from New York—Van Buren; one from New Hampshire—Pierce; one from Mary¬ land—Fillmore; three from Tennessee —Jackson. Polk, and Johnson; two from Illinois—Lincoln and Grant; one from. Pennsylvania—Buchanan; and one from Ohio—Hayes. On his renomination for a second term the total electoral vote was in¬ creased by the accession of new States to 135, of which number Washington received 132. John! Adams, who was the next President in succession to Washington, received seventy-one votes out of a total of 138. In the fourth presidential contest Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr re¬ ceived seventy-three votes each. The result being a tie, there was, of course, no election, and the choice of President devolved upon the House of Representa¬ tives, which elected Jeff -rson by a vote of ten to four—Delaware and North Carolina not voting. The electoral college also failed to elect in the tenth Presidential contest. The total number of votes was 261. Of these Andrew Jackson received ninety- nine, John Q. Adams eighty-four, Wil¬ liam H. Crawlord forty-one and Henry Clay thirty-seven. The House elected Jackson. In 1856 the Democrats elected their last President, James Buchanan, and the Republicans put in the field its first candidate, John C. Fremont. That same year—1850—what was known as the Know-Nothing movement had acquired considerable strength, and the American party put in the field Millard Fillmore. He received only the eight electoral votes of his own State —Maryland. During the presidential election of 1864, eleven States—all Southern—did not vote. Of tiie nineteen Presidents ton have been soldiers and nine lawyers. Of the six candidates now running for the office of President and Vice-Pres¬ ident five are generals and one is a banker. Took His Word for It. A consumptive-looking man, lame and feeble, and carrying a pint bottle full of something, halted a pedestrian on Bates street yesterday and said: “ I found this bottle on the corner back there, and I wish you’d tell me what’s in it.” The other took it, removed the cork and snufled in a,£ull breath. . The next instant he staggered against a wall, clawing the air and ehoking and gasp¬ ing, and it was a full minute before he blurted out; “ Wiiy, ycu infernal idio’, that’s hartshorn." “ Well, I’m perfectly willing to take your word ior it without extra insults,” observed the invalid in an injured voice, and lie cook his bottle and walked oil' like a man who had been abused without tho least excuse .—Free Press. SCIENTIFIC. The ‘Klertr<!->1 eohf,meal Tclcgrnph. By the introduction of this new and improved syst ;m of telegraphy it will substitute, in a large degree, tho nee of mechanism for manual laboT. By the hand- 1 key process of telegraphing, now employed in this country, the average rate of speed by which intelligence is transmitted over the wires is twenty-five words per minute; the speed of this new system between Boston and New York (250 miles) for regular work is 1,000 words per minute. The magnitude of this achievement may be better appreci¬ ated in view of the faot that, to obtain this speed, electrical pulsations, making a legible record in telegraphic characters on paper at the receiving end of the line, with every punctuation mark es¬ sential to the best composition, must be transmitted at the rate of more than 500 per seoond. It is this increased capac¬ ity of a single wire, now for the first secured without defeots, that solves the problem of cheap telegraphy, and, it is confidently; believed, will ultimately bring npqn the wires everywhere tho groat mass of the business correspond¬ ence Of the world. Messages are first prepared by the use of perforating machines, that is, machines operated with a key-board and made to puncture two lines of perfora¬ tions, conventionally grouped to repre¬ sent letters, in a narrow strip or ribbon of paper. These instruments are far superior to anything of tne kind ever before produced, and cannot fail to rank among the highest triumphs of meohan- ical art. Any person can operate them at sight, and after a few weeka’ practice compose messages for the transmitter, promptly and accurately, at the rate of 1,500 to 2,000 words (fifty messages) per hour. Uader the operations of the trans¬ mitter the perforated paper is simply a stencil, every puncture therein appear¬ ing as a dot or dash on the recording paper at the other end of the line with unfailing accuraoy. The agency of the operator is limited to the exeroise of turning a wheel, and is thus entirely eliminated, with all its liability to error, from the actual work of the telegraph. The copying of messages for delivery to the public requires about the same corpB of operators-as their previous perfora¬ tions, and no more intelligence or skill in the performance cf the Work. Any person of ordinary ability can easily master the alphabet in an hour’s time, and can soon learn to read the tape upon which it is recorded by the receiving instrument with fluency and ease. Young ladies translate the recorded characters at the rate of 100 words per minute. Thus, with a single wire, manned by fifteen perforators, fifteen copyists and two good operators at each end, can pre¬ pare, transmit ’ and deliver, with a de¬ gree of promptness and reliability, under press of business, hitherto unattained and unattainable, 1,200 messages per hour. The economy of the work is ap¬ parent at a glance. A uniform tariff is proposed for alf stations witliiu suoh limits asf* d practicable under ordinary ot>u-itions for direot working. There appears to be less reason for dis¬ crimination in rates as to distance by telegraph than there would be in the postage of letters. It may be added, in prospectu, that a umrorm tariff will lead eventually, when the lines are sufficient¬ ly extended for the purpose, to the gen¬ eral prepayment of messages by the use of stamps. Another novel is the classi¬ fication of messages as express and pos¬ tal. Express messages will always take precedence over all others in right of way, and, owing to the enormous capac¬ ity of the wires under this system, they oan scarcely be delayed an instant by the now common procedure of “taking turns.” This system of telegraphy, styled electro-mechanical, was invented by The¬ odore M. Foote and Ohas. A. Randal), of Brooklyn, and Frank Anderson, of Peekskill, New York. Business Man’s Perf®rator. This's a remarkably ingenious ma¬ chine, intended for private use by any telegraphers. Operated with a lever, it is more, simple in construction than the keyed instrument. With it every man may become his own tele¬ grapher. By perforating his messages for transmission and translating directly from the tape those he receives (work which any correspondence clerk can easily perform), he will oonfine the tele¬ graph to its proper and inexpensrve function of ‘ ‘common carrier, "and secure a liberal rebate from the regular tariff. It is intonded to charge for such mes¬ sages by the yard, without counting the words, and thus reduce the cost of tele¬ graphing as well as the time of Ir ina- mission. Perhaps, however, the most attractive and valuable feature of this branch of the business is tho facility it affords for secret telegraphing. . By a simple rear¬ rangement of the machine for the pur¬ pose, the telegraphic characters may be converted into any one of many mill ions of private alphabets, which no person, not excepting, ol coarse, tho employees, can decipher interchanged without tho key, and which may be between corre¬ spondents confidential using similar maohlnes in the most manner possible. Providence seems to watch over tho sloepingman. Mr. Darrah, while walk¬ ing in his sleep, stepped from a fourth- story window of a Harrisburg (Pa.) hotel. He only hurt his wrist.

Nun’s cloth with a border is pretty and new. Blight greens are coming into fashion in Paris. Scant round overskirts continue to be very popular. Polka-dotted gloves have followed the polka-dotted hose. Gingham traveling dresses are more worn than linen suits. Clusters of crushed poppies are set un¬ der the brims of white hats. Machine stitching is very fashionable on plain skirts and flounces. Gray and yellow is the last combi¬ nation in handkerchief dresses. Barrels, spikes, and tassels finish nearly every Surah silk sash. Bows of Surah are worn with woolen gowns in preference to muslin ties. Turkey red and peacock blue are the favorite colors for Surah silk sashes. Black lace woven with gold threads is much admired for trimming handsome grenadine. Gray homespuns, barred with red and blue in Cheviot patterns, are very fashionable. Gathered ruffles are no longer fluted in the laundry, but are ironed smooth and plain. Long, loose, wrinkled waists to gloves, in Sarah Bernhardt style, are vers fashiLmable. Straw fans threaten to become the rage. They are round and close with a catch and an elastic. Some very pretty straw fans open like tiie ordinary fans, and are painted with insects, leaves and small bright blossoms. Gay bordered handkerchiefs are folded in three corners on the bias and tied around the neck, with tho knot in the back; the point in iront is then drawn down and tucked into tile bosom of the dress, while a lace pin confines it at the throat. Japanese designs of pots and flowers with fans and reeds are done with long patches of crewel and silk on felt of some quaint color, and are then bordered with plush; a mantel lambre¬ quin ot this kind costs $9, begun with materials for finishing. No more exquisite material was ever manufactured than the fine, delicate, alm-st intangible, voile religieuse or nun’s veil. The skirts of the dresses made of it are covered with a series of narrow or graduated flounces, some¬ times formed with satin; and the bodice is round and belted in broadly with satin. The pretty dress with Directoire basque, shirred front and pointed panels, is a favorite model for summer cos¬ tumes that are to be worn either in the house or street. The design is suitable for afternoon, for church and visiting, and for dressy occasions in the morning. The 'popular summer fabrics are all made up in this way. Nubias and clouds are made of Shet- floss, which is liked better than the well-known Shetland wool, but a sep¬ arate covering for the head is not used as much as formerly, now that shawls are made so large that one corner is put over the head, and rests lightly on the hair, with the point a in Marie Stuart on the forehead. Quite popular just now is the Black Forest peasant shoe. Half high, with a pointed projection of silk-bound pru¬ nella on eacli side, and a small narrow ruche of black ribbon laid an inch below the flap-like piece, it is becoming to any shoe The shoe is admirably suited for country walks, having a heel, which though high is firm and flat. Although the favorite material is prunella, it is handsome in kid. Ncrvel Kuptials, Here’s a hint to the ladies who have charge of church socials and festivals, and who, rightfully enough, want to make them pay well. At a recent festi¬ val in a Western city a wedding was one of the features of the occasion. The ceremony was announced in advance. The idea was so novel, that, as a result, the church was crowded to overflowing on the evening in question, and the money began to pour into its open cof¬ fers like water. The young folks discussed ice cream and cake, and talked of the event about to take place, while surrounded by their friends stood the prospective bride and groom nwaiting expectantly the words which would pronounce them man and wife. After an evening of rare pleasure and enjoyment the time for the nuptials ar¬ rived, and in the presence ot the great congregation the rite was adminis¬ tered. Then came the congratulations, which, from such a multitude, were ex¬ tended in almost ceaseless flow. The season of conversation was again re¬ newed, and it was r.ot until a late hour that the assembly dispersed. Several hundred dimes were coined at the door, and the exchequer of the church was materially increased by the more than novel entertainmejt.

In One Lifetime^ Some one has recently written: I am not an old man; yet in material things I have seen the creation of a new world. I am contemporary with the railroad,the telegraph, tiie the steamship, the photo¬ graph, plow, sewing-machine, the steam- the friction match, gaslight, chloroform, nitro-glycerine, the moni¬ tor, the caloric engine, the California gold discoveries, gutta percha, the canned oil-well fruits, discover¬ ies, the electric light, the telephone, etc. These are some of the footprints of material progress of the present generation. Do you think the moral world will remain the same as before? That society will remain unafl'ecti il by these changes ? If you do, let me call your attention to the fact that the same generation has seen the abolition of slavery on a large scale, the ascendency of republicanism in America, the opening of China and Japan, the inslilu ion of world’s fairs.
