Educating Horses.

Horses can be educated to the extent of their understandings as well as children, and can be as easily damaged or ruined by bad management. We believe that the great difference found m horses as to vicious habits or reliability comes muchmbre from the different management of men than from variance of natural dispositions in the animals. Horses with high mettle are more easily educated than those of less or dull spirits, and are more susceptible to ill training and consequently may be made good or bad according to the education they receive. Horses with dull spirits are not by any means proof against bad management, for in them may often be found the most provoking obstinacy; vicious habits of different characters that render them almost entirely worthless. Could the coming generations of horses in this country be kept from their days of colthood to the age of five years in the hands of good, careful managers, there would be seen a vast difference in the general characters of the noble animals.

If a colt is never allowed to get an advantage it will never.know that it possesses a power that man cannot control, and if made familiar with strange objects it will not be st ittish and nervous. If a horse is made accustomed from his early days to have objects hit him on the heels, back and hips he will pay no attention to the giving out of a harness or of a wagon running against him at an unexpected moment. We once saw an aged lady drive a highspirited horse, attached to a carriage, down a steep hill an<with no hold-back straps upon the harness, and she assured us that there was no danger, for her son accustomed his horses to all kinds of usages and sights that commonly drive the animal into a frenzy of fear and excitement. A gun can be fired from the back of a horse, an umbrella held over his head, a buffalo robe thrown upon his neck, a railroad engine pass close by, his heels bumped with sticks and the animal take it all as of a natural condition of things, if only taught by careful management that he will not be injured thereby. There is great need of improvement in the management of this noble animal; less beating wanted and more of education.—ln Door and Out. —The London Times contrasts the English and American efforts to reduce the national debt as follows: “We cannot but feel with regret that the United States in this respect show more the high spirit of a nation conscious of a great destiny, and anxious above all things that no short-comings of the present generation shall interfere with th? teachings their children hare rg-

Catholics entitled to a share of Roman Catholic churches, cemeteries an« revenues proportionate to their numbers as compared with other Catholics. —A new device for stopping holes made in vessels by collisions, used by the Russian navy, consists of a waterproof, pliable patch, with mechanism by which it may be readily adjusted on the outside of the leaking surface. ■ Statistics show that of the thousands who die annually a large proportion are destroyed, not by old age, or by the natural exhaustion of vitality, but through intemperance, or disregard, either on the part of the sufferer or his parents, of the simplest laws of nature. Such being the case—and figures cannot misrepresent facts —the conclusion is that, were the causesof intemperance, its kindred vices and a disregard of natural laws removed, the average length of the human life-time would be extended proportionately. What agent most rapidly, harmlessly and certainly will eradicate these vices, or the tendency to them, is the question, which has been as thoroughly and persistently agitated as has the search for the Philosopher’s stone. The discovery has been made by Dr. Joseph Walker, whose widely-known Vinegar Bitters are accomplishing wonders which the old-fogy doctors never dreamed of. Try them and judge for yourself, as thousands are doing all over the country. , ’ 89

Wilhoit’s Tonic is not a panacea—is not a cure for everything, but is a catholicon for malarious diseases, and day by day adds fresh laurels to its crown of glorious success. Engorged Livers and Spleens, along the shady banks of our lakes and rivers, are restored to their healthy and normal secretions. Health and vigor follow its use and Chills have taken their departure from every household where Wilhoft’s Anti-Periodic is kept and taken. Don’t fail to try it. Whbblock, Einlay & Co., Proprietors, New Orleans. Fob salb by allDbuggists. Gbo. P. Rowell & Co., 41 Park Row, New York, are, without doubt, the leading Advertising Agents of the United States, and, therefore, of the world. They have, by the free, liberal and yet well-directed use of money, built themselves up in the esteem of the leading publishers and advertisers of the continent, and by an unusual energy have succeeded in perfecting in eveiy detail a business that more than anything else tells of the growth and importance of the newspaper business.— Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal. Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment may be used to advantage where any Liniment is desirable. In cases of severe cramps and pains in the stomach it is undoubtedly the best article that can be used internally. Habitual constipation leads to the following results: Inflammation of the kidneys, sick and nervous headache, biliousness, dyspepsia, indigestion, piles, loss of appetite and strength; all of which may be avoided by being regular in your habits, and taking, say, one of Parsons' Purgative Pills nightly for four or six weeks. Facts Worth Knowing.—The Wilson shuttle sewing machine is to-day the simplest, most perfect, most easy operated, best made, most durable, and in every way most valuable sewing machine in existence, and it is sold fifteen dollars less than all other firstclass machines. Machines will be delivered at any railroad station in this county, free of transportation charges, if ordered through the company’s branch house at 197 State street, Chicago. They send an elegant catalogue and chromo circular free on application. This company want a few more good agents. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.—“ Have derived some benefit from the use of SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR, and wish to give it a further trial.”— Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ga. “ I have never seen or tried such a simple, efficacious, satisfactory and pleasant remedy in my life.”—lf. Hainer, St. Louis, Mo. Prussing’s well-known White Wine Vinegar received the World’s Fair premium. —ls it rains, and you have no umbrella with you, walk fiercely up to the first man you meet carrying one and tell him: “ Give me my umbrella. Where did you get it!” He will hand it over it once. This is umbrella bunko.
