Or why is it, theo, whdn one horse is affected, others in the earne stable are liable to havo it ? Heaves is not generally considered a contagious disease ;* but when more than one horse is affected the cause can bo found in ; the food, stable or oare of the animals, which has produoed the disease in all of them. Close, unventilated, or open, cold stables, musty clover, and other hay?these and. similar urcougenial ciroumstancee are believed by many to produce heaves in horses. How about peas fox cattle ? ^ ,-t> In the South peas are largely led to . cattle and horses. The peas are sown broadcast, three Decks to a bushefc per acre, in the month of May, harrowing them in after breaking the ground onee ; then when they begin to dry in September, they are pulled up, and hay ia made of tho peas and vines. Pulling them up is preferable to-knowing, as the cattle relish the roots quite as much as the tops. No manuring . is necessary. A correspondent, writing from Mississippi, says that one acre in sowed peas is worth f-ix of fodder. He gets from 4,000 to 5.000 pounds of hay per acre that is eaten as readily as if it were clover. This keep* his cows fat, and they give a fine'yield of milk and butter. What is thte cause of foot rot and is there a cure ? A Massachusetts correspondent, writing on this subject, says that foot rot in cattle is occasioned 'byirregular growth of horn, producing an unusual bearing, and splits in the hoof, etc., irritation by the entrance of sand or other foreign matter. Or it may be | caused by the animal's standing in wet j or filth, producing a softening of the j top of the hoof and an exposure of j sensitivo surfaces. Pus is formed from ; .lis presence of foreign substances, and burrows down through the soft tissues within the hoof, creating the foul in the foot, so much complained of. This disease impairs the appetite of the animal and in other ways is detrimental to its good condition. The treatment, recommended is to first thoroughly examine the spase between the hoofs and all around their tops; remove all foreign or dead matter, and cut away the loose pieces of horn with a sharp knife. Then, twic9 o day, until all discharge cedbes, dress the raw surface with a solution composed of one part carbolic acid to fifty of water; afterward dress with cerate until quite cured. The affected animals should be kept by themselves until thoroughly well ; care must be taken throughout the treatment that they have a clean and dry standing place." On bla Own Farm. Every farmer has the materials on his own farm to enrich it. How shall he apply ^them? How make hia compost heaps ? I answer, with his yard manure, and his soil mi d with it; and in the room of ashes or 1 -ue to make jt decompose, give me ~ oga' noses. Writers may talk about t .. ir chemical or mineral agents, but for ite give me hogs. Yes, keep hogs. Keep them in your manure collars, and throw in your coarse materials; their noses will sooner decompose a sod than all the nostrums of the chemist. Hogs will work seven days in the week, while you must be pretty lucky to find a human - laborer who will serve you faithfully through six. If a farmer has a dozen head of cattle he may make fifty cords or two hundred loads of excellent manure every year. From, say the first of July to September, ho uia.it occasionally haul in other materials. Persons living near the city may buy manures, bat those living some ton miles away cannot afford to haul it to their farms. I, for one, would not want to haul it, for I make just as goad for less than half what it would co3t me in Boston. Some farmers with forty head of c .ttle, I am sorry to say, miko less manure than others with but sev?u head. Bat I could not advise any of my friends to follow the example of the farmer with the forty head. My advioe to all ia, keep cattle ; make your hogs work?no labor is oheaper than hog labor, and none brings a better return. , It Was Yery Hot, The hodja of Turkey's wife set out one day to p]ay a trick on him by setting before him some very hot soup. Forgetting what she was about, however, she took a mouthful herself, and burned her mouth so smartly that the tears ran out of her eyes. , ? "What's the matter, wife ?" asked the hodja ; " was the soup too hot ?" "No, my lord," she' said; "I was crying because I happened to remember h<->n7 for?ri mv lfttfl father to hn of soup." The hodja, not doubting what she said, took a mouthful of the soup, burned his mouth, and began to shed tears in his turn. " What's the matter ?" said his wife. " I'm crying becanse that father of you>*s did not take you with him when he died." The Jiew State.

Old Dr. Bnnker was a stout, red facrid man of abont sixty, in a perpetual state xrf intoxication. Sometimes he was worse than at others, but ho was always rdnlnk. j i^'Now, on'j see," some admirer would " you go to Dr. Bunker and sflH&your case, and he may be eo drunk ocj nita lv ft hip to nnfln hinnld nod ai*m and yet he will give you somethingnhat will go to the spot and no mista^-V" What a man be would be if he woul^nly keep sober." Thi&JaSo of the doctor's, however, came to Vfragic ending. We had among us, widfeiy known and much loved, a little giii&Uy crippled from-her birth. Her delifeote and morbid condition seem- ' ed to stloulate her brain, so that she became r^p owned throughout the valley as an in|alLaotaa2 prodigy. tJnable to walk, she1. \ns .carried to school by hex parents. iSflwaatra only child, ahd it was pitiaBjflp note the pride they .ook in her culTOPer "Air best she was not long for -this world, and her exit was being hurried by the cramming to which her |qnd friends and relatives I subjected 9hSr. Her pure white sotil seemed tdr shine through her delicate face, which even traces of pain and the sad, waiting patienoe of frequent disappointment faned to mar. At spelling bees and other publio exhibitions of the schools crowds would gather to applaud the clear, silvery voice that so readily responded to the vexing questions. In this way Lucy Hooper came to be so generally known and so mnch beloved. ' J'Tiittle Lucy," one would say, *' has an answer ready to any question; and as for spelling, she's ahead of the master." When about ten years of age little Lucy developed a new. torture in the shape of paroxysms of pain that were known to the country as fits. The poor child suffered horribly while these attacks lasted, and Dr. Bunker was called in on a gallop to administer relief. This he did on several occasions. But tfie evil hour came when, more intoxicate# usual, he sent the medicine to the suffering child. The powders were administered, and Lucy, instead of being bettered by them, grew suddenly and alarmingly worse. She said, between paroxysms of-ipfcensepain, that the powders did not tftfcte as the others tasted. The doctor was again sent for, but found insensible from drink. The neighbors, who sought in much excitement to sober their favorite medical adviser, felt that the little patient had but a brief time to allow for remedies. They poured oold water over his head and hot coffee down his throat. At last he was sufficiently aroused to justify his being hauled in a wagon to the hoase of Lucy's parents. ? > , <?,- ; . ?- , . J Daylight was. stealing softly into the rude room when the doctor staggered in. I A greater cuier of life's ills than he had entered before. There is a tide in our vitality that finds its ebb between midnight and early morning, and how often are we called to note the coming of death and daylight together! The cool, dewy morning walks in lusty strength over the eastern hills and the birds sing and the rills sparkle, while the oows low and the chickens crow, as if ail nature felt a new life, with a renewed lease on all that is pleasant and beautiful. At that moment, as if in mockery of us, the sick unto death feel their hold weakening and the shores of life receding swiftly and silently from them. Lucy's parents were poor people, inhabiting a log cabin to which had been added a porch, and one end of this porch had been turned into a bedroom for the little favorite. It appeared neat and cleanly, but there was no curtain to the window, 110 carpet upon tl e floor. One could almost cover the rude furniture with a blanket, but eaoh spoke in an uncouth way of tenderness and affeotion. When the doctor entered there was a profound stillness 'in the little apartment. "She is better now," whispered the unhappy mother to the doctor, "but she has been very sick." The now sobered physician took the candle from the stand, xt was a tallow dip and burned dimly at best, but now had a long unsnuffed wick, and a gutter of halt melted tallow running like a stream of lard from the summit. Believing Luey to be asleep, the watchers at the bedside had neglected the candle. " She is sleepin' seemingly very comfortable now," 3gain whispered the mother. The doctor nearly put the candle out in a clumsy attempt to snuff it, and fchftn threw such licrht as it had UDCn the face of the girl. Alas! the sleep was not one to be courted. The eyelids covered but one-half the ball, and through the white, the onlv part visible, death stared. The doctor hastily seized a thin little hand and felt for the pulse. He felt in vain. Bending over the poor sunken face, he listened at her parted lips for tidings of life in her breathing* He listened in vain."Lucy, my girl," said the doctor, "how are you?" There was no response beyond a quivering of the eyelids so faint that it was almost imperceptible. This was the last Bigrial thrown out by the little soul, then more than half way over the cold river. " The powders," continued the mother, unaware of the change going on in one dearer than life to her, "didn't seem to act like the others, and Luoy said they tasted differently." " Have you any left ?" asked the doctor, hastily. Yes, one; here it is," and she handed the medicine to the physician. He looked and then touched the white substanoe to the tip of his tongue. In an instant his face became as ghastly as that of the dead child before him. Hi a hand shook so violently that be spilled the powder upon the floor. Throwing out his arms as one drowning, he seized the father frantically and (tied, in-a hoarse voice: " Tom Hooper, take me out of this," and as he went the agonized parent heard him mutter: "Poison; my God, poison!" The word pois<fc was enough to excite the valley to a frenzy. A coroner's inquest was demanded, and physicians summoned from a distance to make a post-mortem examination. Enough was found by these learned men in the veins of the deformed girl to insure death, pooner or later, without the nelp of any poison administered by a drunken doctor. He was summoned to appear and offer any'explanation he might see fit to make. The ooroner found him in his office. He was for onoe sober, and more wretched in appearance than when intoxicated. "Have yon come to arrest me?" he asked. "No, doctor," replied the officer; "you're wanted as a witness." "As a witness," he repeated, looking at the coroner in a vacaut, absent sort of way. "Yes, yes; I see. Well, I'll be I a witcess; I'll show 'em. Wait a minute. " Saying thin he took from a jar a white substance that he proceeded to measuro off into small powders. He ! made six of these as well as his hands, that shook as if palsied, would permit him, and throwing the several potions together, he did up the dose in a bit of paper which he placed iif his vest pocket. Then he accompanied the coroner to the house of the dead girl, where tho jury sat in that solemn deliberation of stupidity so common to coroner's inquests. After being duly sworn, he was asked to tell all he knew concerning the sickness, treatment, and death of Lucy Hooper. " Gentlemen," he said, in response, " this inquest originates in a belief that there has been malpractice in this case, and that the patient died from the effects of poison administered by me, and not from the convulsions to which she was subject. In this last illness I prescribed for her but once. From the time she took the medicine I sent her she grew rapidly worse until Bhe died. To prove to you that my intent was honest, and to show you how harmless was the remedy, I now proceed to swallow ten times as much as I prescribed for my patient." Before any move of remonstrance or prevention he had swallowed the drug. The deadly character of the powder was shown in his death, that followed twelve hours after. "It's all right, gentlemen," he said, J between paroxysms of pain, "it's all right; if you want further testimony, meet me at the bar of God." The doctor's memory is cherished in the valley, whore it is generally believed he did not commit suioide, but hod a mistaken confidenoe in his own remedies, and they always wind up with : "What a doctw he would have been had he kept sober." Warrick's Humor, I When Garrick was in Paris Preville, < the celebrated French actor, invited ] him to his villa, and, being in a gay ? humor, he proposed to go in one cf the i hired coaches that regularly plied be- i tween Paris und Versailles, on which | road Preville's viHa was situated. Y. hen < they got in Garrick ordered the coach- ] man to drive on, but the driver replied ] that he could not until ho got his com- < pliment of four passengers. A caprice immediately seized Garrick. He de- < termined to give his brother player a specimen of his art. While the coach- , man was attentively looking out for < passengers Garrick slipped out at the I i wnnf nr\ fKa nno/th I ; UUUij TT VUV i.UUUU IIUU VUtK/U) J and by his wonderful command of facial expression, palmed himself off upon the driver as a stranger. This he did twice, and was admitted into the coach each time as a fresh pa?senger, to the astonishment and admiration of Preville. Garrick slipped out a third time and addressed himself to the driver, who Baid, in a surly tone, that he had "got his compliment." He would have driven off without Gi /iok had not Preville called out that as the stranger appeared to be-a very little man they would accommodate him and make room for him. ; The Irish Meilal. Ine medal presented by the Irish citizens of the District of Columbia to the member of the Irish team making the largest score consists of a beautiful five-pointed golden star, depending from a pin in the form of an eagle with outstretched wings. The weight of the medal is sixty pennyweights. A diamond is imbedded at each point of the star. In the oenter of the star is an en- , graving of the Capitol building, on one ( side of which are the figures "1776," j aud on the other " 1876." At the lower , part of the star a blaci and white enam- j eled target with a diamond as a bull's- , eye. Crossed over the upper part of the star are two rifles joined together at the top and secured to the upper point of the star by a miniature' laurel wreath in gold. From the talons of the eagle, : which in of solid gold, in bold relief, are ( stretched to either sido the American ( and Irish flags done in enamel. , itH Indian Summer.

' j .?-r ! Maustics or immigration. 1 *" ' * < The quarterly report of the chief of \ the bureau of statistics for the three mopths ended June 30, 1876, contains \ statistics of the immigration into the j United States for the fiscal year ended \ June 30, 1876. The total number of | immigrants who arrived during the year < was 169,986, of whom 111,786 were , males and 58,200 females. Oftbisnum i ber 27,875 were uridor fifteen years of | age, 121,734 were fifteen and under j forty years, and 20,377 were forty years i of age and upward; died on the voyage, ; ninety-eight; born at sea, twenty-three. t The arrivals at the port of New lork , were 87,828; Huron, Mioh., 31,334; 1 San Francisco, 21030; Boston, 9,711; ( Philadelphia, 7,812, and Baltimore, 5,093. Iu New Zealand. A Maori of New Zealand was arrested for theft and brought before two of the native magistrates, one of whom was chief of his village, and the other of the village where the theft was oommitted. The former, with Roman virtue, refused ; to take part in the hearing of the case; J the latter promptly fined the culprit ?6. The fine was paid to the convicting magistrate and lie descended from the bench. Thero he forgot himself and 1 bent over to tie his shoe laces. This 1 action in court was a breaoh of Maori ' etiquette. The Roman magistrate at once had him arrested for contempt of court and fined ?5. Both tribes had had justice done, no one had lost money and all then "went home happy. t Ttto Model Boys. Mr. John Patrick, of Mexico, Missouri, '.J has the champion boys of the country, They are aged respectively eleven and seventeen years. In the spring of 1875, in addition to having five sows and three ( pigs, they purchased $216 worth of hogs. Since that time they have sold a suffi- : cient number of hogs to yield thciu 81,732. The hogs were fattened by tbe , corn raised by these boys, assisted by a hired hand in putting in the coru. ( They have now hogs enough on hand to ( pay for those nrst purchased, and homo old corn to spare. Besides feeding the hogs, they wintered some fourteen head of horses and the same number of cattle. Had His Wits About Him.?Alex. Ooker, a Texas herder, was running cattle, recently, when his horse fell, and the long lariat that hangs at the saddle bow became entangled about the herder's leg. The horse rose quickly and ran, drawing Coker across the plains, but had prooeeded bub a little way when Ooker managed to draw his pistol and shoot the animal dead. Educational.?The board of education estimate* that the expenses of the public schools of New York State for If 77 will be $3,988,862. A State could d:.5 well spend four millions for a better purpose. - ^THE BUSINESS ASPECT. ___ The N'uinbcr of Failures for the Put Nine i}Ionths and the Amount of the Liabilities. Tho New York mercantile agency of Dun, Barlow & Co. has issued a circular giving the number of failures dnring the last three months as 2,450, with liabilities amounting to $47,H57,000 ; against 1,771 failur< s during the same period in 1875, with ?54,328,000 liabilities. The iucrease of failures dnriug the last three months over tho previous three months is twenty-fiv? per cent. The failures for the nine months of 1876 aggregate 7,050, with liabilities running up to $156,272,000 ; divided into 2,806 failures for the fir fit three months, 1,744 the eeoond, and 2,450 the third. During the first nine months in 1875 the failures numbered 5,334, with liabilities amounting to 8131,172,000 ; showing an increase in 1876 of 1,716. Still the agenoy predicts that, although the figures make a poor showing, the actual condition of general mercantile business is on a surer footiDg than for years. The circular states that " there is not only a good deal to show tnat we are nearer a prosperous condition, but there are many proofs that the lengthened depression has not producbd general exhaustion. The healthy constitution of the commercial, organization remains unimpaired, and it can well afford to wait for the fulfillment of the better promise that now dawns. We have suffered, it is true, but not organically ; and therefore it may be fairly hoped, that when the better times at last arrive, the trade of the country will be found in a healthy condition, with the additional advantage of many lessons from the period of adversity through which it haa passed. The vast majority of our merchants and manufacturers, though they have suffered heavily,^ have sustained themselves in spite of the altered conditions of bueiness, and the- general stagnation of trade. This power of resisting the continued strain has been the hopeful feature of the past, as it is now of the future, when there are indications, be they ever so slight, of improvement. Meantime, notwithstanding the reverses of those in trade, the great bulk of producers in agricultural regions have prospered. This vast body, upon whose Dro8Deritv mast be based that of all others in this country, have been exceptionally favored. Good crops bringing good prices, cheap freights, reduced coat of labor, and lower prices for all supplies have largely increased their purchasing power, and placed them in a position comparatively independent of the adverse circumstances prevailing in other classes." The agency states that with iho exjeption of Franco and Belgium every ath^r European nation has suffered an ^qual number of suspensions in accordMice with the amount of business tranaicted. Of the future outlook the following is presaged: " It would be unsafe to rely too implicitly on the expectation that the hard times are nearly over. The "spurt" in trade, which some term the activity of September, is not likely to be followed by a continuous revival throughout the mtumn and winter. Or the contrary, there iB hardly a possibility that the immediate future can be fruitful of much idvance. The season of the year, the sxpenditure of the masses traveling to ind from the Centennial Exposition, the circulation of money for the movement of the crops, cheap transportation, ind other circumstances, have been favorable to au improved business thus far in the season, notwithstanding the political excitement incident to a Presi 3ential yeac. These favoring conditions will hardly prevail to the same extent throughout the current quarter. It svill therefore not do to take th# results jf the past thirty days as the harbinger >f the next ninety. Still, the conclusion is universal that the " tide which leads m to fortune " lias turned, and that the future will witness a steady though gradual improvement in numerous busiless interests hitherto depressed and profitless." The Ariny of Tramps. Last winter, according to an estimate nade by a gentleman who has studied the tramp question, Now York city alone jontained thirty thousand tramps. This fear, owing to the depression in trade, the suspension of miniug and manufacturing interests, which has turned many bdtberto honest workingmen into tramps, the invasion from the country roads cannot fall far short of fifty thousand.r; Of lionn fan nor r>n n f mat? firnnlnv. ,JiJLly?7V* VVU J/Vi.

It is fair to suppose that n'oro than one-half of the new arrivals nust resort to crime and beggary for a iving. Each road leading into the metropolis pours in its quota daily. Ragged, dirty, :ootsore and weary, they are flocking in t>y 6eor( s and hundreds. New York is iheir Mecca?tho goal of their winter ispirations?their shelter against the shilling winds of the autumn and the piting frosts of December. Each argues ;o himself that in 6 city of a million souls there must be room for one more, md so this vast army?a motley corps sf unarmed Falstaffian warriors?come tramping in. ;; ; t '*? / I-v By far the greater portion of the tramps seeking the cities in the winter ire tramps from choice, who would sooner beg than work, but fear to steal. Some are thieves who tramp to steal, al-: though keeping up appearances by begging once in a while. The number actually in search of work (every man will tell you he wants a job if you ask him) is comparatively small, and the fagitives from justice, who travel as far from railroads, telegraph wires and large towns as possible, are numerous. Another class is made up of peddlers of trifles. Their visits both in town and country. are almost as annoying as tnoae 01 ine begging tramps. These are called "fakirs," a name which applies also to the lower grades of traveling showman.' They differ from the other tramps to tbe extent of paying their way most of the time and never stealing. In the winter, though, when confined to the cities whero their wares will not sell, they take their places with their companions of the summer, and "rough it" as beef they may. It is fair to say of these men, however, that their crimes seldom extend beyond "jumping a hotel bill " or "beating" a boarding house keeper, and these little failiugs are not unknown among persons much higher in the sorial scale. The Hay Fever. An essay is devoted to the treatment of hay fever, and contains much valuable material which may be appreciated. "Removal to a non-catarrhal region. This is the great almost unfailing remedy." These regions are designated as the villages and hotels among the mountains where subjects have escaped the disease. The practical value of this to those seeking refuge from their enemy can hardly be overestimated. Preventive treatment is given, and includes the best possible means for preparing the subject to endure that which cannot always be wholly avoided. While the author has little faith in any specific drug Dr class of drugs, tie r/is evidently great confidence in preventive and palliating means of treatment, and in place of reocommending one cure for all cases, he insists that each case should be studied ind treated by itself. This is certainly the best evidence that he is a sound therapeutist. The best idea of this part Df the work may bo obtained from the jamming up at the end. as follows: 1. Remain in a non-catarrhal region luring the critical period. 2. Strengthen the system by fojd aud tonics. 3. Avoid dust, smoke, night air, aiid ;he vicinity of plants known to produce a paroxysm.

A singular and very interesting case in the administration of oriminal law has just arisen in Ontario, Canada. Two men named Young were convicted of mnrdflT and rati tan fWl tn ho Vinnorflrf in June. Just before the day set for their execution they over cowered their jailer and escaped. While search was making ' for them"the court extended the day for carrying out the sentence to July 17, butwhen.it came round the prisoners had not been rearrested, and the officials neglected to fix another day. Since then the Youngs have been captured, | and the time set for their execution having passed, it is a nice question what to do with them. Some papers in Canada even contend that the murderers cannot legally be hanged, taking evidently the same view of the matter which wan taken not long since by a man in Texas, who, finding himself ordained in the warrant to be hanged " between the hours of ten and twelve in tha forenoon," set himself to make a three hours' dying speeoh and oonfesaion. . .. \ r, /. J There is not, so far as wo are aware, any Canadian precedent, but there are certainly a couple of cases recorded in the English books which cover the point. In 1746 the brother of the Earl of Derwentwater, Charles Radcliffe, "was convicted of high treason, but escaped to'.Pranoe before the day set for bis execution. He was subsequently taken, on boajd a French vessel aud brought before the court of king's tyench on a "writ of habeas corpus, the record of his conviction and attainder being removed I into the court by certiorari. The att<*ney-general prayed execution, but the prisoner claimed that he was not the person who had been convicted and sen\ tenced. To try theisaue a jury was impaneled and gave a verdiot adverse to Radcliffe, who was subsequently beheaded on the day fixed by the court. Twenty years later,, in 1765, three murderers under sentence of death escaped from Maidstone jail and were not recaptured till after the day setjor their execution. They denied their identity, but it was thoroughly established, and sentence was ordered to be carried out, though the court did cot fix any day. It is altogether likely that the same practice will obtain in Oanada, and that after the brothors Young have been given a heariug, and th^ir iV^Lfcy has been proven, they will be consigned to I/JLIU JJU11UW3 UUU1D DU liCltl OaUttjL/lJUg. The man or woman who has not heard of Merchant's Gargling Oil is poorly posted indeed. Perhaps no article ever manufactured for the core of man and beast, has done more good, or gained a wider celebrity, than this. It is . sold the world over, and wherever it is nsed there is but one opinion in regard to it, and that is the highest man can bestow. For diseases in cattle and horses it is invaluable. It is a liniment that does np its work speedily and effectually, and loaves limb and body sound and healthy. Whole columns might be written in its praise, without ex hausting its merits. It- is manufactured at Lockport* N. Y., and is sold by all druggists.?Poughkeeptie (N. Y) Sunday Courier. The latest arnftigement to insure the honesty of car conductors is a turnstile.

The Ohio ago Ledges is said to Lave spent $50,000 in advertising the past two years, and by the looks of the newspapers throughout the United States, we should say it would take as much to go ronnd this year. And to cap the climax the proprietors have announced their paper at $1.00 a year. How it is done is a mystery, unless they have more than "a barrel of money " to give away. We believe, however, it is the theory of the publishers that all they ask of the reader is to pay for the white paper and postage; for their labor, when the paper reaohes 160,000 or more circulation, their advertising will pay the profit. While they | are building up the paper they do not solicit advertising, and hence the readers get a great paper for $1.00 that is worth $3.00. As the publishers have the money, no doubt they will suooeed. Address The Ledgib, Chicago, 111., inclosing $1.00 for subscription and fifteen oents for postage.?Chicago Times.
