Washington; Feb. 23. The course of the . Edmunds Panama resolution, since it passed the Senate, has been a little out of the or dinary run of business. When first called up in tho House a sub-committeo made a nanimous report in favor of its rassage, and: as Mr. Kussell. of Massachusetts, was the only member who openly opposed tho measure, there was every indication that it would be speedily reported and passed by the House. A favorable report was made. in fact, but the resolution was recommitted in order to allow Mr. "Russell to explain more in detail his reasons for opposing it. Then it transpired that Mr. Norwood, of

any of us, I hav, manifestation of it iioexiot exist, H oguize tho ierfect select his abh,r

"with Mr. Russell in preparing that document. It was a very long ana exliaustivo argument upon tho subject.

C and tho treatment was bo ablo ) that, when completed, tho report wa9 8igned by Messrs. Hooker. Cochran and

f "Ravner. in addition to Messrs. Norwood and

Russell. Here were five of tho seven Dem ocratic members of the committee arrayed against Chairman McCrcary's report, which represented the views of the majority, owing to the adherence of tho Republican members of the committee. It is now understood that the chairman is reluctant to press tho matter and widen tho cap bexween himself and his Democratic col- , leagues on the committee, taking the ground ' that tho immediate necessity for tho passage of tho resolution had disappeared as a result of recent events in France, so it is conjectured that tho matter will not come uciore mo noose during ims session.

i Recognized by General Ilarrison. ' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 23. New Yorkers in "Washington are yet confident that their State will have a place in President Harrison's Cabinet. They contend that two positions, and possibly three, will bo held open until President Ilarrison arrives here, and that a New Workman will be put into one of them if an agreement can bo made as to who shall be selected. Tho friends of Mr. riatt contend that ho will bo chosen. They say that they have made overtures ' indirectly to Senator Evarts to take a misfcion abroad or a place in tho i Cabinet, so as to crcato a I vacancy in tho Senate to be filled by Mr. Piatt, but that an arrange- : ' ment of that kind cannot be perfected. Ther believe tho naval, agriculture and judicial portfolios will be open for at least a week from to-day, and that amplo opportunity will be given New York to select a ' man for tho Cabinet. Public opinion in . : Washington regards tho Cabinet as made : up to be thus: 15laine.StateDepartment;Windom, Treasury; Noble, Interior; Wanamaker, Fost-inaster-general; Knsk, War. They believe the other three Cabinet place the attorney-generalship, the navy 5 and agriculture will be determined upon after .President Harrison arrives here. Thero are added to tho names already ' given in these dispatches for theso positions those of Messrs. Miller and Piatt, of New York, The friends of both these gentlemen believe that each will bo provided for somewhere. It is understood hero that Mr. 1'latt has stated that he does net want tho collectorship of customs for the port of New York. The Calif ornians are yet unablo to decide in their own minds whether their section will be recoimizod but they cling with a great deal of hope to tho theory that their services inthe Chicagoconvention imtosed ft material obligation upon the new chief executive, and state that either - Swift or Kstce will be recognized.

MINOR MATTKRS. l'ntnnal Features of the Cnnrnss for the Speakership of the Next House. FpecJal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 23. It is improbable that canvasses for tho speakership were ever conducted with o much good nature as those now progressing in tho House of Representatives. Each of the live or six candidates for the speakership of the Fifty-First Congress is a good friend to the others. Frequently fonr or five of them are huddled together on the 'floor of the House telling stories or giving fnnny incidents of their present canvass. Ever one of them wants an extra session of Congress. They would, of course, like to have their carapaizn shortened; but their outspoken desire for an extra session cannot bo laid altogether to selfishness. Each of the candidates is a well-equipped statesman, aud each gives tho strongest reasons possible to show why an extra session should be called. The custom has prevailed for many years of opening headquarters at the popular hotels where the candidates lor Speaker have received and entertained their friends. They have run side-boards, and in some instances have fared their friends sumptuously. It is not probable that anv ot the present aspirants for the speakership will open up regular headouarters. There is a kind of ram bling indefinite or general understanding among them that, since they are all well Known and are running on the same plat form, extraordinary elfbrt or expense is unnecessary, n is prouauie, nowever, that as the time approaches for the con vening or Congress the interest in tne speakership will very materially increase on the part of the candidates. The Imitative Chinaman. tibial to the IiHtlauapollii JumaL Washington, Feb. 23. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, does not believe in the theory that a Chinaman can progress, although he may be Americanized in most particulars. The other day he was telling about some of his strange experiences with the sons of the Celestial empire, when he said: "When we cot our first Chinaman to cook, be didn't know a blessed thing about the kiUlK'ii, and it became necessary for Mrs. Stewart to go down and show him how to do everything. When you demon strate in an ocular wav how things should oe none jonn never iorgcis. ne is very impressionable. Mrs. Stewart showed him how to make biscii'ts. After she rolled the dough she took a cutter and began to cnt out the biscuits. When the whole roll was done there was a little triangular piece left, and of this khe made a half moon, which is customary. I didn t know anything about it at the time, but at the -nd of three or four months I discovered mat every day when our biscuits were served there was a half moon among the lot. At the end of a year I made inquiry abont the matter of Mrs. Stewart, and sho went into the kitchen and watched the Chi unman each time he cnt his biscuits. and she discovered that he always made a half moon, and would spoil four or live biscnits to do so. lie thought it was as necessary as the salt or tho shortening." Changes In the Postal Service. w a?iiin;ton, tob. 23. in response to a reso lution oSered by Senator Chaee, Postmaster-general Dickinson to-day sent to Congress a state ment showing the number of efcanecs ot railway postal clerks from Jan. 1, 185, to Dec. 31, 1SSS, w ith the reasons therefor.

Major Steele has made another strong effort in the House to secure ac tion upon his bounty bill. Democrats again en tered objections, and it looks as if the measure would not be passed this Congress. The bill proposes to compensate those who were entitled to it. but w ere deprived of promotion by the abrupt termination of the war. It would give sums of from $100 to $200 each to a large number of men who furred in the Union ranks, whereby. under the present bounty law, they received or w ill receive only $2j or 30.

TIIE RAGE FOR RAMPANT LIONS.

A Unique Sort of Idiocy That Afflicts Many Families in aew lork. Special Correarondfnce Indianapolis Journal. New York. Feb. 22. One of the ways to make a prodigious splash and let the world know you are somebody is to have a pedi gree and a coat-of-arms. I have it on good authority that the London College of Heralds draws a large part of its profits from Americans. A few New York families are entitled to the use of arms, but the majority who use them have adopted them according to fancy. A fashionable stationer says that he has en graved the same device for ten different families. He says that rampant lions are very popular, and that he hai copied the Morris coat-of-arms, which has two upon it, for six persons in no wise related. This matches the old story of the British embassador at Washington, who sent his carriage to a factory for repair. and when he afterwards visited the place found his coat-of-arms emblazoned on every vehicle in tho shop. But what is to bo done! The Four Hundred say it it hich time American aristocracy had some sign other than the almighty dollar and some foundation less vulgar than lilthy lucre, and that family arms are the proper thing, ucsiues ueing quite .ugusn, you Know; and so what are Tom. Dick and Harry to do but to follow suit and blazon some body's heraldic device, if not their own. upon their trappings. If you will stand on the Fifth-avenue curb any tine afternoon yon may observe mat at least two out ol every six carriages near coats or crests on tneir cioor-paneis. The occunant of a tine turnout is not as Eroud of her matched bays ana their golden arness as she is of this little bit of blazon ry, which signifies an aristocratic descent and distinguishes her carriage from all the others in the throng. If you are posted in heraldry it is not necessary to glance inside to see who my lady is. Those elaborately quartered arms yonder, for instance, belong only to the Livingstones, and I know that the beautiful Miss Clarice is within taking the air preparatory to another night of dissipation and triumph: this carriago bearing the gold cross on a red field, which marks descent from the crusaders, is the an Kensselacrs. The publishers Appleton are of Furitan lienage; their carnage bears three apples on a silver shield; John Jay's has two poppinjays in the device: the Morris coat of quartered arms is one of the most noted, andthe plain but accomplished Miss Morris, whose debut ball last season cost her father $20,000, is as proud of her descent as an English girl would be if the daughter of a hundred earls. In the mat ter of pedigree these and other Aew lork families are ablo to look down upon certain of the acknowledged leaders of fashion. Ihe anderbuts have searched, in vain: they have been ablo to find no armorial heanntrs to which thev are entitled, and a simple monogram adorns their carriage doors. It is the same with the Astois; m a a quiet way this family have tried to trace their ancestry back to some distinction. but beyond the grandfather of the first American Astor. who was a middleclass Englishman, they are not able to go. And so where in other houses the silver plate is covered with heraldic ensigns, in tho Vauderbilts and Astors there are blank spaces. Ihisistho Achilles tendon ot the money princes, their one vulnerble point; money will not buy ancestry and conservalive iew iorK siiii classes mem among me nouveau riche. Jay Gould has a coat-of-arms. but he makes no display of it. and his daughter. Helen, has not even a monogram upon her carnage, secretary isayard, on the con trary, is very proud of his. He has just had a lamiiy memorial window made lor a church in Wilmington, Del., the entire de sign of which is family arms. Ho is de scended from the famous chevalier. It is hardly to be expected that all Ameri cans who pretend to follow the fashion aro up in rules, argents, crests and bars sinster, and an occasional mistake, such as in adopt ing a device which does not fit with the an cestry claimed, is no more than to be looked for. In this light it is heartless to laugh at the position in which a certain family of wealth here, whom I could name, recent ly found themselves, lhey have been using a coat-of-anns whicn proves to be Scotch, and claiming, at the same time, a Dutch ancestry. Some one posted in her aldry came along, the other day. and point ed out the discrepancy, in the dilemma tho family concluded to drop the Dutch ancestry, as they could not. with out much awkwardness, erase the blazonry, so familiar to their acquaintances, from their belongings. This is a true story, and if any one chances to meet in Central Park a carriago sporting on its panels a device l : L -1. l 1. 1 a. t UI.IJ iiiiviUK a ccuicii iiuckio aiiosi mesmcm, and three feathers and blue-bells in the crest, ho may find out who the family is to whom I refer. Some of the old New York families of Huguenot descent are in the terrible pre dicament of not knowing what their real names are. It seems that among tho Hugue not refugees driven into Holland were many families of children whose parents had been executed. They were accompa nied bv some faithful servant, who, afraid to give the names of the children, registered them uuder their own. The search for ped igrees has revealed to many prond people that they are bearing the servant s name, and have no idea of what their own is. The men who make it their business to search for pedigrees are important per sonages, for they have the chronological history of every family of note at their tongue's end. One New York antiquari in possesses copies of Dutch registry boons that go back to the year 1300, and has been to Europe twenty-six times to nimmago the moldy past for . broken links to ancestral chains. His den fairly grins with skeletons of the past, desks stuffed full of pedigrees, and furniture which has had the wear of ages. Ono of the curious things about the business is the way heirlooms are traced out and recovered. After a family has established its ancestry and its coat-ot-arms it begins to hankeraftcr heirlooms, and old furniture. once despised, attains new value. Tho antiquary threads the mazes of the past, and returns laden with treasure. lie Knows tho insiae or every peasant's house in Holland, and has located in them pieces which belonged to ancestors of New ork families. His method of secur ing the coveted articles fs to pay a sura of money to the relatives of the present own ers and take a mortgage on the furniture he wishes to secure, the heirs to deliver tho article when the present owners are dead. Thousands of New York dollars are thus invested, and Holland Is full of mortgaged heirlooms. - Mrs. Hicks-Lord is one of the persons who has profited by this means. She displays a coat-of-arms and her house is as full of Juaint old furniture as a museum. And yet or all this, Mrs. Lord is not, it is being whispered, qmte au fait with the most exclusive cliques of society, which perhaps may furnish us with the moral that pedigrees and coats-of-arms do not, after all, outweigh other qualities in American 6cales. Ada Coxe. A Young Man's Attempt at Suicide. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Jeffersonville, Ind., Feb. 23. Wyatt D. etrickler, aged about twenty-one years, vhose parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Strickler, wealthy people, reside at Mlddletown, Henry county, Indiana, attempted to commit suicide at the Falls City Hotel here, yesterday, by taking twentylive grains of morphine. Drs.

He made two attempts, after taking tho morphine, to take his life, hy tying a towel around his neck, and ma ft in r an effort to cut his throat. He had written letters to his parents, the county coroner and the proprietor of the hotel, where he was stopping, in which he stated that he alone was to blame. Young Strickler had been attending school at Lexington, Ky., and came down to the Falls Cities. Thursday, on a lark." He drank heavily, and it seems that alone caused him to make the attempt on tys lite. Mr. J. - F. Shoemaker, of Mlddletown. an-ived in the city this afternoon, and took the young man home.

TIIE WESLLTAX COLLEGE RIOTERS. - Two of the Students Confess and Implicate Others benous Character of Their Offense. New Havf.x. Conn.. Feb. 23.-Advire from Middletown state that a committee of three, including the president and two members of the faculty, have been ap pointed to investigate the explosion at Wesleyan University on Thursday. Ther visited this city, to-day, and saw Hubbard, the injured student, and got his statement. They are very reticent, but say they mean to make the investigation complete and have the offenders severely punished, nubbard is more comfortable to-day, and is now considered out of danger. His father and mother arrived this moraine, and state that they intend to do a little investigating on their own account. President Van Vleck, Professors Wilson, Crawford and Conn, the committee appointed by the Wesleyan faculty to investigate the recent dynamite explosions, have, after a hard day's work, succeeded in getting at the bottom facts. The hearing was secret, and each member of the freshman class was called in and subjected to a sever examination. It is learned that two of the men confessed, implicating six or eighth others. The faculty refuses to give out any information. From other sources it fs learned that the men who confessed are W. H. Hall and liobert E. Smith. Tho names of the others are H. S. Rooksby, Nelson C. Hubbard, C. H. Pierce. W. M. Douglas, K. M. Grant, E. S. Lamblyu and H. P. (Jueal. It seems that the p'arty had planned to usher in Washington's birthday by firing a salute with a cannon and afterward to return to the college ground and. throw the bombs into the entries of tho various dormitories. One bomb was given to Kooksby to explode in observatory hall, another to Smith to explode in North College, while a third was sent to Hubbard (the man iniured). It seems that Hubbard, wishing to back out of the scheme, invited several upper classmen to spend th evening with him, and that after they left his room, a bomb was handed to him with instructions to explode it when he heard the reports of the others. It is supposed that he became excited, and in some way the bomb exploded in his hand before he could throw it. President Van Vleck has conferred with State's-attorney Elmer with reference to a criminal prosecution of every one implicated in tho affair. Should Hubbard's injuries prove fatal, it will undoubtedly be a very serious matter for tho young rioters. It was also developed that tho dynamite was obtained in New York city from the father of ono of th young men implicated. It was sent to Mlddletown by express, three of the bombs being used and three others hid for future use. Keports from the hospital to-night show that Hubbard is comfortable, and the physician is coundent of his recovery. A SOUTHERN BOASTER. General Rosser Thinks the Men of the South Better Fighters than Those of the North. Baltimoke, Feb. 23. Tho Maryland Line of Confederates held its annual .reunion last night in this city. Among the prominent people present were United States Senators Wade Hampton and M. C. Ilutler, of South Carolina; A. H. Colquitt, of Georgia; Congressmen Charles E. Hooker, of Mississippi, and C. T. O'Ferrell, of Virginia. The principal spe.ech was made by Gen. Thomas E. Rosser, of Virginia, who succeeded Gen. J. E. 15. Stuart in command of the confederate cavalry after the latter's death. General Kosser reviewed the war, and compared tho relative numerical strength of the Northern and Southern armies. He said that the reason the Southwas enabled to hold out for four years against such heavy odds was that her men were superior to those of the North. He asserted that the reason why the South was victorious in every battle in Virginia was the fact, and is still the fact, that tho Southern gentleman, as man to man, can whip a puritanical Yankee every time. He also said; T am tired of Gettysburg insincere reunion, and blue and gray love; feasts which politicians aro holding while, old Sherman threatens, and others daro to call the loyal citizens of the South traitors. I feel that I am, and I believe that every brave confederate is, more loyal to the const itutioual government of the L uited States than are the rr.nk and file of the Grand Army of the Republic (so called), and I believe that we havo more affection for and are more loyal to the Hag of the new Union than they." I m Consolidation of Sons of Veterans. Chicago, Feb. 23. The consolidation of the rival post system and camp system of the Sons of Veterans was completed here to-day. It was done at a conference letween CoL A. L. Conner, of Ohio; Corporal Tanner, of New York; Ueu. Thomas W. Bennett, of Indiana; Col. John Burst, of Illinois, and Col. George M. Devlin, of Michigan, representintr the Grand Army of the Republic; George W. Marks, of Brooklyn, commauder-in-chief of the post system, and 6. B. Abbott, of Chicaro, comniander-in-vhief of the camp system. The Grand Array men acted as arbitrators. In the harmonizing or compromising of tho differences between the opposing Junior organizations, it was decided tho new body shall be known as the camp system, shall use the f raternal title "comrade" in place of "brother," the titles of officers shall conform to the usage of the Grand Army of the Republic, except that camps may organize a drill corps which, when armed and equipped, may employ strict military titles. The other details are left to the two commanders-in-chief of tho consolidating bodies, except that it is provided the membership badge and charter of the camp system shad be used, and the insignia and rank of the post system.

CIVIL-SERVICE ELFORMERS.

Two Hundred Representatives Assemble at Baltimore and Fass Resolutions. Baltimore, Md.t Feb. 23. About two hundred civil-service reformers from all parts of the country met here to-day to dis cuss the issues of the day. Among them were: Dorman B. Eaton, of New York; C I. Bonaparte, of Baltimore; Theodore Koosevelt, Lawrence G. Akin, V. Potts, Naval Officer Burt, of New York; Henry A. Richmond, of Buffalo; Herbert Welch, of Philadelphia; Hon. W. D. Fonlke and Lw B. Swift, of Indiana; L. M. Blackford, of Virginia; C. J. Kidder and Charles C. Allen, of Missouri; W.L. Putnam, of Maine. The morning session was secret. It was devoted to a discussion and amendment of certain resolutions. There were some hot exchanges between Messrs. Roosevelt and Godkin, involving the name of United States Senator Ingalls. The trouble was about the advisability of mentioning the names of individuals of either political party. It was finally decided to speak only of parties, and not of men. At the afternoon session Mr. Fonlke was elected chairman, and Stewart Vood, of Philadelphia, secretary. The first business was the presentation by Mr. Bonaparte of the following resolu tions, wmcn were unanimously auoprea: Resolved, That we recognize in the Presidentelect's indorsement of his partv's platform a pledge that during his term of otnee, the existing civil-service statutes and rules will be observed in letter and spirit, their form so amended and their scope so enlarged as to promote and improve the administrative methods, and that no part of the progress already made In law or its custom will be abandoned. That the true meaning and purpose of the civil-service reform law forbid the removal of officers in the classified service under any pretext for political or partisan reasons, and to tolerate 6uch removals would be inconsistent with the Republlcan platform and the letter of acceptance of General Harrison; that the Civil-service Commissioners and heads of all otlices concerned in the enforcement of the civil-service law should be In full sympathy with civil-service reform. That in the unclassified f ervice public opinion demands that appointments and removals should be made solely with a view to the welfare of the whole people, and not to promote tho real or fancied Interests of any partisan faction or person. That the pnhllo interest would be promoted by the repeal of all laws which require the appointment of nonpolitical federal officers for fixed terms, but so long as those laws remain in force the salutary principle is that such officers should bo allowed to serve out their terms and then oe reappointed, unless some definite and personal cause for their removal be shown. That every change of administration imposes upon the friends of good government the duty of Erociaiminjr that ouechar:ed with a public trust as no greater right to ute it for a personal or partisan advantage than a private trustee to make profit for himself or friends out of the estate in his care, and it is as essentially wrong for a President to repay party service at public cost, as it would bo for Congress to reward such service with money out of the public treasury; that a man whose vote or influence is obtained by a promise of public oflice is no less bribed than if paid in money. A law should be adopted requiring that whenever any oilicer in tho classified service is removed, tho person makim; such removal should record his reAona for bo dointr. and every oftieer removed is entitled to a written statement of the grounds of removal. That the Senate should consider all nominations for oflice in open sessiou. Win. Potts, of Now York, offered the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That reform would be greatly promoted if provision was made by law for the employment and payment, as examiners, of persons not otherwise in the public service, aud by the reversal of the present rule of the Civil-service Commission prohibiting full publicity as to the results of all examinations. Dorman B. Eaton submitted the following, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is nolesnan indefensible intrusion and violation of the spirit of the Constitution for officers of the legislative department to go to the White House and there attempt to control the President's discretion hi the exercise of the power of appointment, than it would be for the President and members of the Cabinet to go to tho Senate and House of Representatives and there attempt to control the discretion of its members in tho exercise of tho power of legislation. Letters of regret were thenread from George William Curtis, of New York; Rich ard Mclllwaine. of the New Hampden-Sid-ney College, Virginia; 1 nomas YVcutworth Higginson, of Massachusetts; John II. Lonsdale, of Rhode Island, and others. William Reynolds, of Baltimore, offered a resolution, calling on civil-service reformers to talk of the cause in their political speeches, especially before elections. He thought it would be more manly to talk civil-service reform before election than to work it in through a side door after election. The resolution was tabled. A motion was made that a copy of all resolutions be sent to President Harrison. At the suggestion of Mr. Bonaparte, the motion was submitted to a committee of five, appointed by the Chair, with power. This evening a public meeting was held, at which speeches were made by Wm. D. k on Ike, Richard II. liana and others. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

The Supreme Court yesterday morninp, Chief-justice Elliott delivering the opinion, decided that bicycles are vehicles, and that they must keep off the sidewalks. The Chief-justice, after quoting Section CTttl of the statute forbidding persons from ridiug or driving on the sidewalk, said: "If sidewalks are exclusively for the use of footmen, then bicycles if they are vehicles, must not bo ridden along them, since to affirm that sidewalks aro exclusively for the use of footmen necessarily implies that they cannot bo traveled by bicycles. It would be a palpable contradiction to affirm that footmen have the exclusive rights to use the sidewalks and yet concede that persons not traveling as pedestrians may also rightfully use them. We think, however, that a bicycle must be regarded as a vehicle within the meaning of the law. Webster detines a bicycle as a two-w heeled velocipede and a velocipede is detined as alight carriage. Substantially the same definitions are given by a law writer in tho Encyclopedia of Law, page 101." A singular fact in connection with this decision of the Supreme Court is that the court had it prepared at the very time that Judire Coffey was struck by a bicycle while walking on a sidewalk and badly hurt. The court had reached its decision at about the very time that Judge Coffey was injured, and did not need that circumstance to aid in lorniing us opinion. m m DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

The ordinary method of shoeing hour. i. under the most favorable circumstance. tedious operation, and one, moreover tkt! not unfrequentlv results in temxwraryS even permanent injury to the foot. ln7J7 it bas been asserted by au eminent thority that out of every forty shod annually one dies from the suit of pricking. Moreover, ths T dinary shoe attached in the ot way is not adapted to horses l cracked or brittle hoofs. For horse 1 ployed by an army in the field the hitherS practiced mode of protecting a horse's hS is particularly unsuitable, owing to tvl appliances required, and, above all tw! time required. A cavalry patrol is rounded by hostile parties, andean obS accomplish its work and escape cartnre hr vigilance and spee.l. The latter is neeL sanly much affected by the occasional caw. ing of a shoe, which it takes time, whirk cannot be spared, for, replacing. Again train of wagons is either acconjpaoyV, a force on a forced march to tho frottor is rapidly retiring to escape capture Tvl loss of a shoe or two by the leadar teams inny produce lameness, and either delay the whole train or cause the rartica. lar teams among which the accident oe curs to fall into the hands of the eneirr or, at all events, prevent the arriving at tnt proper time of a portion of the 6tores. Bf means of cold shoeing the xiecest ity el i forge is avoided. l?till the system cf coll shoeing, to bo thoroughly eflectivs, re quires a certain amount of training oaths part, of each dragoon or driver, and th shoeing operation involves cqnsidrnbls expenditure of time. The ditficultifiaai objections, inseparable from any of thr rr. isting systems, are particularly felt by n army in tho field. They are obviated by the system of tU Xaillcss Horse-shoe Company. To eipUi the exact nature of the system without dia. grams is impossible. We, therefore, content ourselves with a brief outline of tk principle. The shoe is attached by a fincis steel band which passes around th hoof, well above the coronet, from one eitremiiy of the heel to the other, and is kept in pontion nuiinly by a steel pillar lying Hat oa tho front of the hoof, and connecting tU toe of the shoo with the centri of tho band. There an also thru' small studs situated cne at tls toe and one at each side which sbriitlr I indent on the hoof, and aid in keeping the shoe in position. Ainonir the advantucM1 claimed by the inventors aro the following:! A man after a minimum of instruction can. i wiin 1 no am 01 a uammer, or even a stone, nilix this shoe in about three minutes, ai against the fifteen or twenty niinutesat' present needed: the shoe allows of fall ex-j pausion of tho hoof; it permits the narnru! growth of the frog, thus providing a reois dv against slipping or jarring; it is as durable and as licnt as, while it is cheaper than' the ordinary shoe. The extensive practical trials to which this system has brrn sui jectedhave given satisfactory results. . Mistaken for a Jack-o'-Lantern and Phot. Florida Letter. Capt.
