1 VOLUME VII. CHARLOTTE, N. C, FKIDAY, MAY 10, 1878. NUMBER 52 ixiadtvut. DISEASES OF THE DIGESTIVE OR-QANS-d0FSTIPATION OF THE BOW . ELS IN HORSES. Constipation in mostacases is a symptom of other diseases rather than a disease in itself. However, in some horses the bow els are naturally torpid, and in such cases Br loner as the animal continues in health there is no necessity for the use of active remedies for its removal. Should this condition of the bowels be caused by the nature of the food, it must be charged, and food of a more laxative nature sab- Ktimtei. such as bran or linseed mashes, with a haulier proportion of dry food. Constipation may result from debility of the bowe.s. We have examples of this after a horae has suffered from an attack cf indigestion and inpaction of the diges tive orgDs with food the stomach and bowels after being relieved by purgations the animal shows a disposition to eat. Hay or other dry food is injudiciously given, and the result is obstinate consti pation. The battle is then to fight over again, and the powers of the animal to resist diseases being; materially weak. There is far greater risk of a fatal ter mination thau in therfirst attack. Debility of the bowels may result from or accompany a general debiliated state of the body. A laxative diet is here in dicated, together with the administration ef such medicines as will impart strength and tone to tie Bvstem, such as Gentian, Cinchona, the salt of iron, and other tonics. Occasionolly constipation is a result of Daralvsia of the bowels. In these cases the natural peristaltic action of the bow els being lost it is advisable to act with ereat caution in the administration of purgatives a continued use of them be ing calculated to produce from their re teiitiou in the bowels great irritation and fatal results. This state of the bowels is indicated by the absence of the usual in testinal murmurs, and in cases of paraly sis of the large intestines by the dilated atid non-contractible power of the rec turn. Stimulants and nervine tonic should here be used to arouse and give tone to the paralyzed bowels, and the nse of ene mas cuntaiaing turpentine will be of great assistacce. J. R. Hagyard, V. S in Kent, Live Stock Journal. Big Trees Of course North Carolina will not enter the lists with California, with her red wood, (sequoia) 320 feet high and big in proportion other ways: or Australia and her 480 feot eucalypst : but if any of the Atlantic op Appalachian States desire to compare notes, we can give thorn a 'tight .race. A lew instances: A sycamore forest on Caney river, Yancey county, at the Big Bottom, contains numerous tall, straight, symmetrical shafts from four to six feet in -diameter, two nearly, and one seven feet. The "Big Poplar" tulip tree, growing just above BigTom Wilson's, on the base of Mitchell's High Peak, meas ured, last Bummer, 8 feet in diameter, .nnd there were many more around which fell but lUtle short of it. A chestnut, on Buck caeek in McDowell county, meas ures fall' 10 feet. I found what I suppos i ed to be a big specimen of chinqnepin, in Uitchell, last summer, about 20 inches and got a sample for the Museum 15 inch es. But happening to mention this to Mr P E Smit'j, in Scotland Neck, he said Halifax could beat it, and she did, I had to agree, when he took me to one just three feet through. The bottoms of Ko- anoke grow some of the biggest cypress es anywhere to be found ; I should say from a canoe view close at hand, not less, tome of them, than 8 or 9 feet. Bat in f peaking of big trees, the first place must be given to a holly, on the Nottoway, unlatkilv iust over the Virginia line. This monster consists of seven boles ris ing from a common stock, each one of which, if my memory does not fail me, it is seven or eight years since I measured them, is over 3 feet in diameter. And as to attitude, some of the white pines on French Broad, are, eye measurement, near 150 feet, and Edmund Ruffin mentions specimens of slash pine that were cut out of our Bertie forests, for ship masts, that were 175 feet high ; and he gives the dimensions of a mast .from that section which was sold in New York for $G00, that squared 36 inches at base, and 30 inches at the height of 83 feet. This specimen must have been two hun dred feet high, which is close on the boels of California. ' W. C. K. TRUTHS WELL SPOKEN ON SHEEP RAISING. Col. Polk, in his last rport of the do ings oi the agricultural department of North Carolina, makes the following re marks, which are similar to those held by ninety-nine out of every hundred farv mers of the country : The prominence and importance award ed to this interest sheep by the farmers of our present constitution was very prop-" erly and wisely conceived. But all our efforts to foster arid encouragn this indus try mast be comparatively futile in the absence of la'vs to protect those who would engage in it. With the view of making a faithful exposition of the enor mity of a nuisance now so quietly tolera ted by the people, I sought to show on the blanks issued for farm statistics, the Dum ber of sheep and dogs in each county, and the number sheep, destroyed during ibe past year by degs. As belore" stated, , returns! were only partially made by a few countiei, yet in one county (and this may be regarded as a fair illustration) where tbev report forty schools, the'eost to the people of keeping the dogs reported, and the losses sustained by their ravages, would keep forty children in each of those schools for twelve months, or sup- ply about seven thousand men with bread f or one year. Undar our laws sheep are rf -cognized and taxd as property, and ccu'd be made to contribute largely to the wealth and prosperity of our people. Dogs are also recognized and protected by our laws as property, bat are not taxed, and bo far from adding to the wealth and prosperity of the State, a truthful and faithful exhibit would show that they detract from it mil lions annually. Again, I repeat, it is al most neeaiess to expend either time or money to baud up this important interest until we can have better and more effective laws for its protection. American Far mer. KEEP OUT OF DEBT. Why will our tillers of the soil persist in the suicidal policy of making a single crop and running in debt, "head over heels," for means to make it with. A single crop of any kind, often fails a diversity, rarely. More-TUtention should be given to the production of home supplies, upon the rarm. lne garden, especially, should re ceive liberal attention. The hog sty and poltry yard should not be neglected. lm proved breeds should gradually crowd out scrub stock, and the smoke, house and egg basket will record the increased gain with unerring exactness. The habit of getting in debt is not an economical one. No farmer can afford to pay the enormous interest exacted, and no merchant can afford to "advance" without .demanding it. Indeed, in too many cases, the merchant is the greater sufferer, for if, from any cause, successive crops prove a failure, be suffers irretrievable ruin, as the farmer cannot pay for what the merchant has pledged his credit to furnish. A little self-denial for a year or two a little mora attention to little things and the desired object i accomplished. Oat of debt, is oat of trouble. Th cron. when raised, is then the property of the producer, who sells it when te-price suits his views and makes his merchant hapDv by paying cash on the spot for everything ne orders. For the Southern Home. A Good Text for Farmers. "If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.". Eccl. 10: 10. When the land is level and all of the same quality, square fields and straight equidistant rows meet the requirements of both taste and utility.' The sarn num ber of furrows ' will in all places plow out each row. .But when an awkward band starts straight, because he canned- do oth erwise at the straight side of the field, but soon warps about like he had been read ing something and was trying to make Hogarth's waving lines of beauty, there will be wide and narrow places in the same rows, lhen he will have to put in more furrows to the row than the narrow parts need, or less than the wide parts should have. Straight equi-distant rows are therefore, the best; and they are very pleasing to the taste. But in many cases they should not be straight; and in draw iog the curves other considerations jeaideB those of beauty, should govern the former. Once I passed a long narrow field by the side of a straight road. The corn rows ran with the road. The general section was level spouty black jack. The field had in it two slight mound like elevations of red clay land, each about three acres. The weather had been rainy: The two knolls were dry enough for the plow, but the three sections of the flat land were miry. As the field had been laid off. the knolls could not be plowed until the flats would bear it. After two days I passed again. The farmer was at it. The knolls had become a little hard. In the flats he was dragging through mud. Said: "Too wet,I knew; but then hills are getting hard; and if I wait for these flats to dry it way rain again." Now, he knew that there was in that land a difference of four or five days in drying out Why he did not so arrange it that he could have worked the sections separately, we do not know. Likely his father and his grandfather began at the side of their fields, and ran their rows straight from end to end. and made a very good living; and be may have thought that if he would only do as they had done, he would do very well. In that case there were several errors which are very common. The public road brought and -spread over those flats far more water than fell on them from the clouds. A ditch would have interrupted all that; and another would have carried it off between the knolls, also brought down into the flats all the water the tilth did not absorb, adding greatly to the wetness of the flats. It would have been easy to have girdled each of the knolls with two ditches, bringing their water out on their sides which projected against the road. They were not steep, and they were just that very quality of land which is suscep tible of the very highest improvement. Thus ditched, and planted with the ditches, they could have been plowed, at that time five days before the flats were ready. The two days plowing that were last for no other reason than the way the rows Ijad been run, would have been saved from the flooding from the roads and from the knolls, and having the rows in them run to the lowest points so as to carry off any excess of rainfall, would have been ready for the plow, at least two days sooner than they were. Thus, they would have escaped that plowing in the mad, which did greatly injure the crop. We have heard many of -i)ur flat-land friends complaining that they lose so much time waiting for their ground to dry, and that when it dries off, it becomes bard so soon. Wo would respectfully ask them to look over their farms, the first time they are wailing for a drying cff. Let them observe how much of their land they might be then plowing, if only their rows bad been laid off differently. Also, let them observe the progress of the drying and see whether they might. not, by a lit tle thoughtful changing, follow the drying close enough to overtake the baking pro cess. Bat they should be careful not to follow it too closely. We suppose every farmer knows why we trample, or grind wet clay, when we wish to make brick.. Any trampling or stirring of the fields, when wet, has the same effect prepares the particles of earth for adhering closely when the water has slowly evaporated. The rows will all have been made be fore this will meet the eye of any farmer. But if it will cause him in the next wet spell to see his error, and resolve not to do o any more, our purpose will have been gained. "Wisdom will be profitable to direct" that man in future. Hantersville, N C. A R. A BE A UTIFIER IN DISTRESS. Madame Rachel, theXondon Knameler brought to j grief by the Courts. Madame Rachel, the London enameler, has come to grief with a sentence of five years imprisonment for obtaining money under false pretences. Mrs rarse a daughter of the tenor Mario, was the plaintiff in the case, and concerning the affair the London Week says : The ca reer of Madame Rachel as a beantifijr of ber sex my now be considered closed. How many bewitching specimens of ber skill there may be moving about in the higest circles of society we have no means of deciding. We shall be better able to tell when the enamel peals off and nature is allowed to stand forth una dorned. It would be rather awkward if the coating came off in patches, for in that case some of our most beautiful wo men would present the appearance of fine old china, interesting as curiosities but deprived of any attraction to the male human being. It is clear that Madame Rachel will not be in a position to repair her work. She has fallen a martyr to the useful arts. Mrs Pearse, when she first weut to Madame Rachel, could nut quite make out why it was that a woman who had the power cf conferring beauty on others should be so ugly herself. This, no doubt, is on the same principle that sell ers of hair restorers are always bald themselves. Mrs Pearse herself was on ly twenty three and very good looking, and one would suppose that she could well have afforded to leave ber natural charms to do their destructive work on the helpless male animal. But there are two things of which a woman never can have enough beauty and diamonds. Sd Mrs Pearse determined to be enamel ed all over. We must here mention that it is not our fault if anything in this arti cle frightens nervous persons of eithe sex we are merely following the law re port. To be enameled all over is a long job, and the beautifier agreed to take 200 for it, which seems to us very cheap. To be made like the rose from top to toe, and warranted to last beautiful till you are a hundred, is surely a very great tri umph of skill. We should have thought it would cost nearly as much merely to varnish a full sized body. Mrs Pearse began to use the washes which were giv en her until her face broke out in a rash. We have never seen a woman who looked at her best in this condition, and poor Mrs Pearse was in great trouble. Her husband could not fail to notice her alter ed visage, and sometimes it is found diffi cult to extract from husbandb the reqii site number of checks when the female nose and lace is covered witn red pim- ptes. Mrs Pearse went round to Mad ame Rachel's, and as she had no money, she took some jewels with her, and de posited them with the old woman, bhe was naturally much encouraged to learn that the beautifier bad at that moment jowela in her possession belonging to a well known countess worth at least 000. At last a bath was proposed. By this time Mrs. Pearse would evidently have done anything to get rid of ber pimples. So the bath was dragged out from under the table, and Mrs Pearse jumped in, being as she says 'under ap prehension as to her skin.' It must have been rather a dirty bath, for the old witch who presided over the ceremony threw in some mysterious powders and other stuff which she said come from the East. When next we are permitted to see Mrs Pearse, it is at a ball in Shropshire, where she admits that her friends told her she was quite lovely.' - The inference is that the bath did her good. But still she was not satisfied, and she wrote to ber kind old friend, 'I hope you will be able to finish me on thursday. I should so much like to be made beautiful for ev er before I leave.' She also wrote that she had been 'seedy' which perhaps may be another variety of pimples, and asked for some pink powder or red powder, little do we think, when we admire love ly women, how much care, time and skill have been expended on the effort to pro duce the effect we now witness. The bloom which we take to be that of inno cent youth may after all, be only some of old Rachel's powder." Philadelphia Times. Anti Doo Tax Man. "I won't do it 1" and he pat down his number 14 brogan with resonant emphasis.. "I'm a po' man. It's as much as lean do to git 'long s'pporotin Sal. Luke, John, Bill, Mary, an' de twins, but if yer's gwine to lay a tax on Ring, Ranger, Snip an' hol tight, as good dogs as ever sbuk a varm int, den it ain't wuth while fer a po' man like me to try to git 'long." "I tell yer I won't do it I' said the Co netoe man. , "But,' the granger pleaded, "If you sign this petition, you can raise sheep to eat, wool to clothe your children, and be thrifty. Your dogs eat more than the sheeb would, and besides suck all your eggs and kill your neighbor's sheep." "TJ,b, u,h J Mighty putty talk, but 'taint no go.

This is worth thinking of when one wants to get hold of your house. Saek not so much to know thine ene mies as thy friends; for where one man has fallen by foes, a hundred have been ruined by acquaintances. The man with a little brown jug has to watch it now a-days, or his wife will paint it all np and store it way on the mantle piece for a "ceramic." Neither the possession of genius nor the pursuit of a profitable busiBees should protect a hypocrite from the scourge which it is the duty of public press to wield. A disappointed young man says the "average" shoe maker can frame more excuses in fifteen minutes than a picture dealer could supply frames for in two wefks. The Bologna sausage is said to be the most economical food procurable. A sau sage can be eaten for supper, and it will just begin to digest in season to answer for breakfast. Women are not very proud of their an ceitry; not nearly bo much so as man. Yon will find a thousand men named Adam whee you will find one woman named after her illustrious grandmother. A singular murder trial is going on in Newark, Ohio. The accused is an old man who murdered his own daughter for the crime of adultery. He pleads as his justification the injunctions of the Old Testament. A man in Illinois committed suicide by drowning, lately, in six inches of water. He coul Jn't have done it alone, but his wife, with that self-sacrificing devotion and helpfulness so characteristic of the sex, sat on his head. It is said that at three years old we love our mothers; at six our fathers; at ten our holidays; at sixteen dress; at twenty our sweethearts; at thirty our wives; at forty our children, and at sixty ourselves. "Fellow-travelers," said a colored preacher, "ef I had been eatin dried ap ples for a week, and den took to drinkin for a monf, I couldn't feel more swelled up dan I am dis minifc with pride and vanity, at seein' such a full attendance har." A little man had threatened to horse whip a big man. Whip in hand, he en tered a restaurant where the big man was eating, but after a short survey of the back of his enemy, he retreated, and when asked why he bad not carried his threat into execution, he replied, ' Oh, hang it, that fellow is twice as big as he was yes terday." .They have some queer girls in Colora do. One of them, who resided in Cache la Proude Valley, had beep receiving the at tentions of a young man for about a year, but becoming impatient at his failure to bring matters to a crisis, she resolved to ascertain his intentions. When he next called she took him gently by the ear, led him to a seat and said : "Nobby, you've been foolin' around this claim for mighty near a year, en' have never yit shot ofl yf r mouth on the marryin' biz. I ve cottened to yer on the square clean through, an' bav stood off every other galoot that has tried to chin in, an' now I want yer to come down to business or leare the ranch.

Fewer truckling demagogues who are anything or nothing, as interest dictates, and more brave men who dare to do their own thinking and say what they thiuk. Fewer "great men made to order and of small material, and thrust in front of men who have a capacity for greatness. Fewer juvenile "statesmen" eager to rush into the places their seniors and bet. ters ought to occupy. Fewer impetuous young men eager to rush into print and raise the devil gener ally. Fewer men to advocate the election of favorites on personal grounds, and more for the public good. Fewer wire pullers in popular conven tions and more people. "Fewer "leaders" to knnckle to popular prejudice and more real leaders to com bat such prejudices when wrong. Fewer barrooms and more schools. Fewer fences and more pastures. Fewer scrub cattle and more good ones. Greensboro Patriot. A teamster in Eureka, Nev., persisted in using a particularly vicious mule, and for the following reaton : "I nsed to have a sweetheart back in Injiany that I was or ful gone on, and this yere mule has so many pints in common that my heart just yearns over her. She were as likely a gal as ever run barefooted in a corn field, but she were too obstinate to erijoy good health. She'd look you right smiling in the eye, and you'd think thar were more sugar in her nor in a New Orleans merlasses hogshead, but if you laid yer hand on her onexpected like, she'd kick the breeching all to flin ders in less than a minute. That's just the way with that mule; but you get into a place whar the mud's deep, and the rest of the team keiflummixed, and call onto her for assistance, and blast my eyes if she won't pull herself clear out of her hide to help you out of your trouble. That were the very way with Nancy, and I keep the mule outer love for that gal." Plants sleep at night as is well known, but their sleeping hoars are a matter of habit, and oan easily be disturbed. A French chemist recently exposed a sensi tive plant to a bright light at night and placed it in a dark room daring the day. The plant, at first, appeared much puz zled. It opened and closed its leaves ir regularly, in spite of the artificial sun beaming upon it at night, and in the day time, it sometimes awoke. It finally sub mitted to the change, unfolding itself regularly at night, and closing in the morning. Killed Bz an Elephant. Jerry Hack step, an eldery colored man, living near Liberty Mills, Va., has met a singular and terrible death. The show of John Robinson was moving from Orange court bouse to Madison court house, headed by several elephants. The old man was attracted by the procession, and approa ching the caravan was attacked by one of the elephants and crashed to death. His body was shockingly mutilated and death was almost instantaneous. When ovjer taken by the vicious beast the old man was on his way to work and had his dinner in his pocket. It is supposed the elephant sniffed the lunch and attack ed and killed the man to get it, as no provocation was offered. A good story is told of a deacon in Ten nessee, who was in the habit of riding a bucking mule that is, a male that can make a camel's back of its straight one, and, by a spasmodic movement of its four legs and hump, discharge its rider like a cannon ball. The other day they came to the edge of the worst mud hole in the State, and the mule gave unmistakable in dications of bucking. The good deacon knew that he was about to be thrown, and his mind sknrried about for a prayer. His table grace came easiest: "Lord, for what we are about to receive make us humbly thankful," be exclaimed, and the mule had backed, and he was in. CHARLOTTE IRON WORKS LIDDELL & CO.
