Philadelphia Inquirer. The Godol'phin Arabian. This celebrated horse, up to which every iodern horse that has any pretensions to irity of blood, must be able , to trace his aeuge, has fufni&hed, in the hands of Eu*' mfiSue. : ^ 0r: ithcr romance, which we imagine mustl>e 9 fascinating to the .loter df the turf, or of good horse, as is the modern novel to mul* tudes of readers. This horse was one of eight sent by the ley ofTunisto Louis the fifteenth ih 1*731. .tiontiAn nn their arrival. Iicjr WAViav** ayii/v vm ut as the taste of the King, and consequeny of his eourtiefSy was fixed on the heavy lormao horses, the lighter ferns of the sautiful Barbary horses were looked upon ith disdain. They were, besides, very ciousand unmanageable, except in the inds orihe slaves that accompanied them om Tunis., -They were consequently emtoyed in the most menial offices, and were )on disposed o nt mere nominal prices to ,iv one that would ; take them. Scham, hich was the Moorish name of the hcirse at afterwards became so celebrated, after assing through a variety of ill usage fron\ jmerous masters, was at last rescued from e brutal treatment, a brute of a driver was dieting upon him in the streets of Paris* f a benevolent English Quaker, who took ie horse and his mute attendant, who bad Jhered to tl>e fortunes of bis favorite horse irough usage scarcely leas revolting than cham had received, to bis residence near ondon. The horse had contracted a fondness for cat while in Paris, and grimalkin was his mutant attendant in the stable, climbing >on his buck and resting there, evidently uch to the satisfaction of both. Agbu, he mute,) the cat and Scham, were inseouble companions, and together took up eir residence in the Quaker's stables. HereSchum manifested some of apparidy vicious and wild qualities, refusing to> low any one to_ mount_him but Agbfe, and most killing Dr. Harrison, the Quaker's n in law, who had attempted to subdue id ride him. The Quaker's benevolence mid not endure this ingratitude, and the rse was sold to Rogers, of the Red Lion n, at London; A aba having the offer of maming with the Quaker, or receiving a m of money. He chose the latter, and liowed the destinies of the horse and cat. ogers found Scham utterly mrtactable, and tributing this to the Moort who occasionly contrived to visit him in the stable, had m arrested on a charge of burglary and >mmiited to Newgate, from whence he was ily liberated by the efforts and influence F the Quaker. The story coming to the irs of Lord Godolphin, he purchased the >rse of Rogers, and Schamt Agbs, and e cat, were sent off to Gogmogog Hall, e seat of Lord Godolphin. Here ho was sated with about the same indifference and intempt that had attended him at the pa. ce of Louis the fifteenth.' The celebrated >rse Hobgoblin was at ihat time the fav. ite of Godolphin, and having come in pos. ssion of Roxana by Flying Childers, he ittered himself that he should found a $urior breed from the progeny of these two ?rses? By the. merest accident, the three irses cametogather; a furious battle ened between Hobgoblin and Scham, and e latter, triumphant in love and victory, as condemned by the vexed Godolphin be turned out on an almost barren com mon on the lord's farm, some sixty miles distant. The progeny of Scham and Roxanna was the celebrated Lath, and he early evincing the greatest powers, and easily beating the colts of Hobgoblin in the race, the attention of Godolphin was excited, and Scham, Agba and the cat, were speedily recalled to Gogmagog Hall, where the Arabian soon became lord of the ascendant. In 1738, three sons of Sch im won the three great stakes at Newmarket, and the breed, as ra. cere and fine horses, were found to be uhri. vailed. Sch&m, after this day, was named the Godolphin Arabian, and he soon be. came the mos' celebrated horse in the world. He died in 1753, aged 29. The slave did' not long survive his favorite horse, and the 1 cat had paid the debt of nature years before. | Scham was a bright brown bay,fifteen hands high, a deep chest, small mouth, and his beautiful, bony, and nervous form, with a graceful tail flowing like a plume of ttlk de noted him to be of the purest and noblest ( blood of Arabia. The superior hardness and fineness of the bone and muscl*, so conspicuous in the best Arabian blood, were conspicuous in Sebum, add are far from being lost in those of his .descendants, that have his blood iu the leastcon|aminftitod form. /. ,/' * " ,/&*. Farmer* - 1 ,, I n "" t, y .x ' From the Geneiee Farmer/ ^ ? Har?e DUtcmper, * * ' The horse is one of the most valuable of the animals that have been subjected to the dominion of man and he is at the Same time one of the most liable to injury and most subject to disease* To some complaints he is subject at all times ; while there are others that appear in some unknown manner to be connected with the season and make their attacks on animals at certain periods W the year almost exclusively. Of this kind is the disease known as the catarrh* catarrhalfe~ vert influenza, but by the farmers generally as the horse distemper, and which prevails more at this season of the year ttutft any other* This disease is sometimes though not often fatal, unless injudicious measures are adopted in its treatment, but it isaiways troublesome, incapacitating a horse for labor for a long time, and as it is contagious, and its appearance in the stables, is in mostcases, u signal that it will extend to all the anima s exposed, unless the diseased one is re* moved at once, wo have copied an account of the disease from the work on the horse by Mr. Youatt, of the Veterinary College, London. M It usually commences like inflantma. lion of the lungs and fever, with a shivering fit, to which rapidtly succeed ahotlhduth, greater heat of the skin ?hai> is natural, heaving of the fianks arid cough. The mem. | brane of the nose red, and sometimes bordering on a livid hue. Fromthecommenoement of the disease there is some discharge from dte nose, at first watery, but soon thick, cr, and containing flukes which adhere at all times to the nostril. This discharge soon becomes mattery and offensive. Therfauds tjrme rnroat and uuii^rjawbecomeaeaJarg?" ed ,* the membranes of the nostrils and threat are inflamed ana tender ; food is neple'?ia?r and wafer is refused, particularly if cold; The horse sips and slavers in the pail, and coughs if he drinks. The cough is sometimes severe, and the horeer^xhibita symp. toms of great suffering during its continu? . 1 . /vn. a nee. Vjrtrai weumiosa bpccuii j iuiiuw these symptoms, and the animal supports himself by leaning against the sides of the stable* '1 he legs generally swol, andl en. largementa appear in the chest and body. The pulse rises to sixty or seventy, wbibilL character is depenUiag on HK*>tf>tefteV 15f the disease," In cases that are severe or terminate fa. taliy< ** streaks of red run through the iivkl. nestf of the nose, the legs become ct> d, the countenance haggard ; the breath is offensive, indicating ulceration of the lungs, the discharge from therose bloody, theevacua. tions loose and slimy and sometimes bloody, and the animal is speedily destroyed," At other times, in a few days, the cough grad. ually ceases, the swelling in the gtawds of (be throat swell leas, ine discharge fr&m the nose assumes a more healthy form, and the animal is able to eat and drink* with great case. In such comparatively mild cases, the horse toon recovers his flesh and strength, and is able to resume his labors ; but where the disease iasevere, and inflammation of the lungs, or suppuration of the glands of the throat take place, if the animal is saved, a long time must elapse before he is fit for labor. When it is discovered that & hor?t has the distemper, he should at once be separa. rtod, if possible, from others, m order to lessen the chances of a spread of the disease. If the horse is in the inflammatory stagqr of the disease, bleeding is indispeitonble, but pot till faintness is produced. It woujd. be hgtter to. bleed again if the pulse continues quick and strong, than to weaken the animal by a too copious bleeding *t'ohee. Wuh farmers, however, the disease in its first stages is rarely noticed, and it is not until the cough, running at the nose, ond swelling of the glunds, show the progress the disease has made, that its presence is suspected. At this time the horse generally refuses to eat or drink ; the nose has lost its inflammatory redness ; and as he is losing ftoh as well as strength, bleeding- had better be avoided. Should the horse be costive care must be tuken that the bowels ere evacuated by suitable purgatives, and aloes in doses of two drachms, either in a ball or solutions, is good for this purpose. While the fever is high, sweet spirts of nitre may be given ; the dose will be about 2 drachms. A flannel cloth or wrapper around the head and throat will be useful, though air must be freely admitted to the stable. In severe cases of swelling of the glands, blistering of these places is some, times resorted to with success. A discharge from the nose is a favorable symptom of the distemper, and it should be promoted by hot mashes frequently put in the manger, and some use substances that emit pungent amoniacal fumes, to promote tbe discharge from, the nostrils. Continual care must be taken to support tbo strength of the animal ; aud many valuable horses are annually lost from what may be termed I carelessness in this respect. The horse can- < not eat dry hay or grain, while his throat is ' so swelled, and hay or grain steamed or boil- < ed, green grass, carrots cut fine, should be i provided. In long continued cases, mashes c made of bran or oatmeal, must be given ; and if he obstinately refuse to eat, gruel of proper consistence may be turned down his throat. If he can be kept up till thesweL 1 ling of the glands subside, or external sup- 1 puratioo takes place, they will generally i recover, and tho great object in the treatment I should be to prevent thu entire prostration i of strength. When the disease terminates I fatally after the stage of swelling is passed, < it is by inflammation of the lungs, or putrid i fever, and when either of these supervene on the already exhausted animal, there is little < hope of his again getting up. t Labor saving Soap.?The following is a recipe for making the Labor saving Soap, (so called) which is an excellent article for , washing, and a saving of labor. The re- , ceipts for making have been sold from 5 to $10?and the soap 7 cents per pound ; but cap be manufactured for about two cents. Take-two pounds of Sal SqjJa?two pounds yellow bar soap?and ten quarts of water-^ cut the soap in thin slices and boil all together two hours?then strain it through a cloth, lot it cool, and i' is fit Tor use. Dir- ' ections for using the soap : put the clothes in soak the night before you wash, and to every pail of water in which you bo.l them add one pound ofsoap. They will need no rubbing; merely rinse them out, and they will be perfectly clean and white. A Mr. Josiah Holbrook il publishing in the Geneede Farmer, reports on farms which he visited in some part of Now York, we suppose, though he does not say so. From the fiist No. which is on the farm of Gen. Raweon Harmon, we extract the following sentences. Planted last year half a bushel of Rohan potatoes* produced 33 bushels. This year I nave an acre planted. A single potatoe has L been known to weigh 13 lbs. Apples profitablo for Btock, especially hogs, Last year* kept 13 hogs, of 150 lbs. each, or more, for two or three months, on one bushel of apples fed in the morning, the same at evening, given raw, no other food ; never had bogs do better. Apples about equal to potatoes, good feed with bagas, for fatteniog hogs, both need boiling. Bagas may be fed raw to cattle, and store hogs. Jersey Sweeting and Harrison apple, preferrcd far feeding, about equal quantities of each. A boat 100 bushels of apples picked by the band from the trees last fait and laid into ; bins, say a foot deep, have kept without any picking over,till this time, June 11th. ; Has six hives of bees called the Chamber I Hive," having two chambers or small boxes, | which slide in and out, and can be removed 1 when filled with honey. Thinks them preferable to any other kind of hive, within his knowledge. Stable manure better to be housed; coarse, long straw, if in considerable quantities, better I to be exposed to rain and snow. Manure ali wvyv best to be ploughed in immediately after spreading, and as soon as practicable alter it eewinrl intothe.field. When thus treated, | toadstools often appear ow the furrows a few days after they are turned, especially ir sue- " ! ceeded by rain. Uses about 5 tons of plaster annually. . * met or atoaca multicaulis. A gentleman in Virginia (says the Silk Farmer) who invested $2400 in trees the present spring, has sold the produce of that sum for 17,000 dollars, after allowing one fourth for cultivation. Trees three feet high were sold in New Jersey three weeks ago at 40 cents, JM|ual to IS lft cents per foot. . At Bwecdrborough in the same state they have s:nce been sold at 50 cents, which if the height as is probablc, does not exceed three feet, is 10 2-3 cents per foot Near Petersburg Va. contracts have been made, according to the Silk Farmer, at 1 and 11-2 cents per bud, and some mailer contracts at 2 cents. The editor of the same work says that he is authorized to sell four brick houses in the city of Philadelphia, in an excellent neighborhood, and paying aix per cent interest dear of taxes, in exchange for trees at the market price. So it would seem moras multicaulis is better property than real estate in Philadelphia, ASKING PRICE FOR MULBSRKIES. J. S. Skinner Esq.?Sir; In a late number of tbe American Fanner, you mentioned that both buyers and sellers were making great inquiry about tbe price of the Moras Multicaulis tbe coming foil, and thatyou would be glad if sellers would fix upon some price that yon might be able to give an answer, adding that jrou would act as agent for either bnyer or sdIhave some of these trees growing on my ----- *T."

I think by fatt the trees will measure from 5 to 10 fret. The greater part of them are growing on what may be called common corn land, and have not been manured. Some of the trees are from roots; on these, only one main stem would be left, with its branches. Or if preferred, I will take two cents per eye, and twenty*five cents for each root. Chuckatuck, Va.

Ed. Gaz. i From lh> Journal cf Commerce. { Saratoga, N. Y, July 7ih, 1889. Messrs. EditorsOn looking over your vety valuable and widely circulated paper, [ saw in one of the 27th of last June, a notice of Scarlet Fever, which was said to have prevailed very generally in some places, and in many casts proved fatal. And from this cirrumstanCe the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal infers that the disease was not properly treated. As to its general prevalence and in many cases its fatality, the inhabitants of this town and its vicinity can bear amplo testimony. In sortie ' instances an isolated case would occur ; in others, two or three in family ; and in others nearly all in a family or neighbourhood; assuming quite frequent. |y a highly mulignant character. The throat was more or less aff-cted in nearly all, though tho eruption in many was entirely wanting. . In some it provedjatal as soon as the second or third day from the attack ; and, ?n such cases, delirium supervened in three ttr four hours after the first warnings of |he disease. Li chiefly prevailed among children under 15 years of age. Headache, chills, soro throat, and vomiting, were hs first ostensible appearances. Tho fever would be noticed in four or five hours, and the eruption in about twenty.four or thirty, six. Now, sir, though the Physicians in this place and its vicinity generally were not so successful as the Dough Pill Doctor, to whose practice and success your Northampton correspondent calls our attention, yet one of them may fairly claim at least a ?KI? nmrtioe haviner nraved sue VUlIlp^ UllUllf "? ? ? 0 r - _ ceasful in t ety case where he was called soon as (he first day. This happy result was brought about, not by the dough pills and cat-nip tea, but by giving, as soon as possible after (he attack, a thorough emetic of Tartar of Antimony and Ipecacuanha, followed as soon as the stomach would retain it, by a full dose of Calomel and Pulvis Antimonialis(Ja. Powder.) The dose of the emetic and cnthar- 1 tic, of course, to be varied according to the age of the patient. In some cases it re. quired a very large quantity of physic to operate, even after the emetic had operated thoroughly. From 10 to 15 gr? Calomel to 0 gr. Ja. Powder in a severe attack, was a dose for a child from five to ten years old. After the operation of these? prepare a starch tea in the mode it is usually made for linen, so thin that it could be drank easily when cool , then added to a pint of tea 2oz, loaf sugar, lgr. Nitre, 2gr, Sal Ammoniac, 8 grs. Tartrate Antimony. With this the throat was gargled every three or four hours, and as often, to a child Ave years old, a large table spoonful was given. This is the principal part of the treat* ment which has thus far proved so successful. it w the some treatment which has been tried for about ten years, and in two other epidemics of this disease, though in different places from the present. And he who has practised it feels a certain degree of confidence fn it, and would ask his fareth. ren to try it. Though it is probable the same success may not always attend the same treatment, yet its happy results hither, to, certainly ought to recommend it to no. lice. The same success has not attended the treatment of many other physicians in this country, and whether this will be an additional pi oof to the Editors of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal that the disease is not treated properly we leave for htm to say ; but we believe that if Physlci. nns generally should take this course, and make public their varied practico and sue. cess in this disease, as is often done in others, the profession might soon arrive at more orrect principles in its remedial management. In the hope that this may throw some light on the nature and treatment ol this, at present, afflictive disease, and with a desire that the profession generally may be induced to make public tht ir treatment, success, and views, this communication is respectfully submitted to you, and for your piper if you see fit to insert it.

" ~ DtsENTKXY. Boiled milk thickened-with flour, and takett in first stages of Dysentery is in all common cases an invaluable remedy. Boiled milk without flour is too harsh. Curb fob Dvsentbbt.?At this season af the year, when ao many persons are afflicted with this most distressing disease, every thing likely to afford relief should be made public.? The following is said to be a certain core. A trial of it, at least, we should thjnk* could do no harm. Take of Indian corn, roasted andground in the manner of coffee, (or of coarse meal browned) and b<>il in a sufficient quantity of water to produce a strong liquid like coffee, and drink a tea cup foil warm, two or three limes a day. One days' practice it is said, will ordinarily effect a cure. The former of the above paragraphs we copy from the Southern Agriculturist for July, and the latter ftom the American Firmer of Aug. 14. The intelligent editors of these respectable peri, adicals cannot be acquainted with the pathology of dysentery, or they Would not adrisc their numerous readers to rely tor its treatment upon such remedies. The morbid conditions which chiefly reqniro attention in the treatment ef the disease are 1 inflammation of the inner coat of the lower tract of the bowels; 2 derangement in the functions of the liver; snd 3 deficient perspiration with more or less feverNow which of these conditons is removed by flour pap or corn rual coffer 1 We may bs ask. . ed, What renedy then, should be used ? We re* ply, There are few diseases which can be sue. cessfully or safely treated by epecrfic# ; of these few dysentery is not one. To advise a specific remedy for it would be not unlike the advioe to a steamboat captain on tbe Pee Dee to turn his prow to a given point of the compass and steer right ahead. Projwrly to prescribe for dysentery would be to write a treatise on the disease; and when it was done, a man might almost as ration, ally expect to make himself a practical cutler by reading, aa to apply correctly the rules laid down, without a previous practical acquaintance with the disease and Its management. Dysentery is but a modified form of billious fever, produced by the same general causes, and requiring a similar treatment, modified by the local symptoms. An eminent English writer has called it "resais i.vrsoviasa." fever tarneo inward. It is not to be trifled with, especially when it prevails as an epidemic ; or in locations and seasons in which malarial fever of high grade or malignant character occurs. In addition to the common hat. ards of billious fever, t?e mffdSBHShln dysea. tery may extend to all the coats of the bowels, in which case the disease becomes eminently dan" gerous. Cases somotimes occur, however, in which a physician cannot be obtained immediately, and others are so mild that they hardly render it ueccssary to consult ono. We shall, therefore, sa we are on the subject, give Urn outline of a suitable course of treatment;?premising that a man who is within reach of a physician (in whom be can confide) and able to pay for bis advice, ought never to tamper with himself; or he may do, or suffer irreparable injury when he leasts suspects it, as we havo not unfrcqueotly seen happen. In a very mild,'case of dysentery, at a time when bilious affections are not prevolant or severe, the effort* of nature, with rest aud abstemiousness on the part of the patient, are often sufc ficient to overcome the dieeaee. In such cases we would not object to flour pef or corn-meal coffee. in cases a little mora obstinate, but still mild, nothing more may be nccessaiy than 20 or 30 grains (equal to a small teaspoonful) of rhubarb, or a dose of castor oil: ipecacuana will answer as well as cither, taken in one or two grain doses, repeated cvory two hours till it operates on the bowels. It may be made into pill* or mixed with water. In severer cases no treatment is to be relied on in this climate which dies not include the use of calomel, or mercury in some form. From 10 to 15 grains of calomel may be given every day, oi every second day, according to the acre*.
