Saturday the Greenback and Repul-
licart comraitteea recently appointed to
place a fusion ticket in the field for coun-
ty officers met said their any did Heir
jo and now the country will be saved
cei tain and sure pop.
The Oreenbackers met "across the
street" and the Republicans in the court-
house. The Republican committee was
organized by the election of Mas Maas as
chairman and George Haswell as secre-
tary. On motion of Dr. W. C. Phillips a com
mittee of ten was appointed by the chair to
confer with a Greenback committee to
report business. Following were the
committee : Dr. W. C. Phillips Col. J.
C. DeOress Baily Sparks W. II. Hol-
land John Madison L. C. Bartholomew
Judge Wilburn Jerry Parsons A. P.
Blocker and Henry Russell.
Following were the Greenback com-
mittee : M. J. Nolan W. J. Johnson
C. P. Johnson C. W. Dixon Henry
Pfannecucher and M. M. Singleton.
Th Joint committee composed as
above retired and the convention took
A recess.
After ' several hours' recess the
convention reassembled and Col.
DeOress (or the joint committee
made a report recommending
the f ollowin g ticket : For the legislature
J. B. Rector and II. C. Still ; county
Judge ; county attorney ; dis-
. trict clerk J. P. Hart; sheriff Ed.
Crearr ; assessor Ham Metz ; collector
A. R. Morris; county clerk T. L.
Wren ; county treasurer W. B. Brush;
county surveyor ; justice of the
peace third precinct Fritz Tegener ;
commissioners W. 11. Holland and J
M. Jones.
On the bide inspector's office the com-
mittee could not agree and recommended
that the chairman appoint a conference
committee of two to act with a like com-
mittee of the Oreenbackers to name a
candidate. The committee is Baily
Sparks and . C. Barthalomcw.
The following were appointed I cam-
paiga committee : J. C. DeOress Dr.
W. C. Phillips J. M. Holland Green
Burton and J. J. Hamilton.
The fight over the inspector's office
waa between Hugh Hancock a colored
man. and Bichard Warren present in-
cumbent. The colored men express
great indignation that not a single repre-
sentative of their race is allowed repre-
sentation on the ticket and from the way
awrne of them talk trouble may be antic-
iptiei. Oa the senatorial question nothing was
aid or done notwithstanding Col. Trigg's
friends confidently predicted his endorse-
ment by the convention.
Alt OPINION.
Canso ( tit Falling- at the Nortn

parary Capital
To th Editor of th Statesman :
The walls of the temporary capltol are
built on a foundation not over three leet
deep. The bottom of the foundation waa
not graded with a bottom eourae ot small
locks or gravel mixed with cement. The
rock ol the foundation were small some
reeks 4x4x4 inches in size mixed with
tfcve commonest kind of mortar. Instead ol
aware) and split block of sandtoneln
sue of least lxS 'n dimension laid
la cement crosswise bricking joint.
The walls above the ioundatlon are built
without combining together crosswise
the outatdeof the wall separated from in-
side so that the rain flowed directly irom
the top of the walls between the outer
and the luuer side which became so
thoroughly saturated as to separate the
two parts composing the wall and that
was the rw aof the parts ot the north
aod west walls of the temporary capltol
falling toomr than expected. The build-
Ing not being settled this so-called
accident would sooner or
later ' oocnr : specially when sev-
eral hundred persons moving about
la a large hall even without v rain
or storm. Change ot weather (expansion
nd contraction) would naturally pro-
. duce this result. The whole secret of
the matter is this : The walls were not
properlv constructed and It Is a great

tELX SMITH.
Tne Beet ana Cheapest Kecrea-
tlan.
The simplest forms of recreation are
the cheapest and best. The four ele-
ments of recreation may be described as
walking talking reading listening.
These four are the basU and primal con-
stituents of amusements.
A walk after breakfast is the finest ton
ic in the world. We are curious ma
chines after ail and the brisk walk in the
morning seems to brace up tne wuoie
Dhvsical and mentnl system. It is to be
observed however that the walk should
really be a recreation and not form a
study. . People who are acute observers
frequently convert the lanes and fields
into a study or laboratory. They are
busy with nature or Human nature.
They will study the hedges or the hu-
manities. Charles Dickens who had an idea of
preserving tbe requisite balance used to
occupy exactly the same time in walking
as in writing. But ne woraeu quite as
hard at the walking as at the writing.
Mr. Stopford Brooke truly says in one
of hlB semi-theological discourses: " En-
joyment is a necessity of life and its
morning air. It is equally vain and
wicked to lessen or decry it for we have
not half enough of it. But it is a shame-
ful thing when men not ruling it with
temperance degrade it in the eyes of
others by making it equivalent to satiety.
Enjoy then but keep the beauty of
enjoyment by self-restraint in it." Here
we have indicated a governing principle
in all our recreation. People wbo live
simply for their amusement speedily
transform the character of their pursuit.
Amusement becom s their work instead
of their by-play their business instead of
their pastime.
Pratactlon Against Cpldemlc.
Those who are at all afraid of epidem-
ics may feel comforted upon hearing that
one of the very best protective measures
they can resort to is a very simple one
the use of soap and water. An eminent
physician says that it is worth while for
common people to learn mat ou.uuu ty-
phus germs will thrive in the circumfer-
ence of a pinbead or a visible globule.
It is worth while for them to note
that these firerma mav be deesl-
cated and be Dome like thistle seeds
everywhere and like demoniacal posses-
sions may jump noiselessly down any
throat. But there are certain things
spores cannot stand according to the
latest ascertained results of science. A

THE BOARD OF EXPERT! EX'
jniMIIICTUG WORK.
The Investigation ta he Resumed
TDsr.
" What Will the Harvest Be !'
Mr. Eaupmann of San Antonio one
of the selected experts to examine the
temporary capitol building arrived yes-
terday morning and upon his arrival "the
capltol board immediately went into
session. The meeting was simply for
the purpose so the Statesman reporter
was notified after the conclave adjourned
of informing the experts as to the pur-
pose for which they were invited to come
here. In accordance with this purpose
the following instructions embodied iu n
resolution were given :
First Make such examination of the
budding as it stands aa will enable you
to say whether it will be safe to continue
the construction.
Second If safe what portion of the
work now standing should be taken
down in order to go on properly with
the construction.
Third What precautions should be
taken if any in addition to those pro-
vided in the contract and specifications
to secure the safety of the building.
Fourth State the causes of the falling
of part of the building particu-
larly whether it was due to
any defect in the foundation
or in the character of construction of the
walls.
The board also addressed a communi
cation to the city council in answer to a
notification tnat tne la'ter body bad ap-
pointed a committee of experts to ex
amine as to the safety of the temporary
capitol building and suggesting joint ac-
tion of the two committees in which
such joint action was respectfully de-
clined. The board stated that for sev-
eral reasons such action was undesirable
and to the mind of every sensible
person the reply was just such
as .should have been sent. The
council has full authority to act such au-
thority being one of the features of ihe
organic law of the city and the authori-
ties should either show nerve enough to
act independently or shut up and say
nothing about the matter.
1 he expert board examined the build
ing during the afternoon but only par-
tially. The examination will be contin-
ued and possibly concluded today.
What the result of such examination will
be of course it is impossible to say. The
Statesman trusts that for the honor and
integrity of the state the verdict mav be
fair aud impartial and do justice to the
people and all parties concerned.

Bruce baa probably beard some-
thiusr about "the hero of Fort Pib-

Secretary Folger will resign his

Ex-King Cetewayo was so rude as
to yawn while visiting the British

The man who walks rapidly home
at three o'clock a. m. from his lodge
can have a new excuse. A noted
physician who is evidently a wor-
shipful master says that many per-
sons simply by deep and rapid inha-
lations of pure air can become as
intoxicated on oxygen as if they had
taken a draught of alcoholic stimu-
lants. A word to the wise.

Mosquitoes. It is said that a
tincture ot Persian powder is an
efficient remedy for mosquitoes. AJ
tew drops on tbe face and hands

fiercest of these noisy plagues.
Cattle Kings The Montana
Husbandman says: In a few more
years the cattle herds of tbe territo-
ry will be owned by a lew compa
nies and individuals and the great
mass of farmers wbo now have a
few hundred head will keep only
such as they are able to feed during
winter. Wintox grazing owing to
tbe excessive grazing during tbe
summer will play out in the thickly
settled districts and the large herds
will seek sections of the country
that are new and not liable to be oc-
cupied by the farmers soon.
Improved Cattle. Many peo
ple are slow to take steps
for the improvement of cat lie
because of the time required to bring
about noticeable results. An im-
proved kind of grain or seed can be
planted in the ground and a few
months only are required to demon-
strate its worth. Many months
however are necessary for the farmer
to reap the benefits of the introdqe-
tion of good breeding cattle on his -
premises in fact it is a matter ot
vears but it is none the less a matter
of importance and of profit. No
consideration of this kind should be
an obstacle to breeding up.
Invalid's Food. An invalid
needs but little food and that of tbe
simplest character. Let the room
be light and well ventilated and the
patient be undisturbed by hurry or
the slighted ill temper. A good
nurse does more and better thau the
doctor and a light and nourishing
diet more than medicine. If the
patient is feverish sponge him all
over with water at a slightly lower
temperature than tbe body; II cold
use warm water. Have no fear or
hesitaucy in using these simple
means and under no circumstances
permit over-eating on the part of
one recovering from sickness. How
many have eaten well and died
within an hour.
Onions for Chicken Cholera.
A correspondent of the Poultry Yard
thus describes bis new remedy for
chicken cholera : " While our neigh
bors for several miles arouud us
have lost nearly all their chickens
from the so-called cholera ours are
in fine condition. They were at-
tacked with the premonitory symp-
toms of the disease which seemed
to be epidemic here but we cured
them and have no trouble with
them since having accidentally
found a cure. Put op onions with
food and administer once a day for
several davs. afterward once a week
will answer. Also mix a little
ground ginger with their meal once
every day or two. We also give
them a little salt every two
or three weeks which we
deem highly necessary and
above all things keep water-
melons mu8kmelons and cucum-
bers away from thera. The tops of
celery cut up with their food will be
found beneficial and they appear to
like it very well. Do not get these
statements mixed up. The onions
and ginger only tor tbe cholera the
remainder constant attention.. Too
much whole corn we have found in
junous; we give meal of this only
once in three or tour days itaw
onions and a very little ginger
against the world for curing cholera
if the disease has not been allowed
to run too far." We endorse hearti
ly tbe raw onions and ginger but
have never found melons injurious.
Last summer we raised in an ama
teur way nearly three hundred
chickens and turkeys. Bushels of
melon rinds and imperfect melons
of both kinds were given to them
daily and eaten eagerly. Over-ripe
cucumbers and seeds of mukmelons
were' likewise devoured. We had
no losses from any disease.
Age of the Horse. When
properly cared tor and not
abused horses will live to a remark-
able age. A case has heeu called to
our notice of a horse of J. Lee Gar-
rison of Greene county Pennsyl-
vania which died last spring at the

was produced by accident and had
he not met with the mishap It is
probable he would have survived
several years longer. It is a notice-
able fact that well bred horses are
most given to longevity. .
Scab in Sheep. A good remedy
for this widespread evil to the flocks
is difficult to find. But the lime and
sulphur dip is perhaps as effective
as any and cheaper than most. It is
made in the proportion of twenty-
five pounds of lime to sixty pounds
of sulphur. To tbis mixture add
sixty gallons of water and boil it for
fifteen or twenty minutes. This will
unite the lime and sulphur and the
mixture assumes a deep orange
color. Now have a vat arranged
through which the sheep can be
taken. Add the orange solution as
above prepared to 180 gallons of
water ana heat it to about 100
degrees. This makes 80 pounds of
lime aud sulphur to 240 gallons of
water and is the proportion to be
followed in preparing any
amount . required but a vat
full can be used for many sheep. The
vat should be deep enough to swim
them and one or one and a half min-
utes is long enough to keep an ani
mal in it provided that proper care
ho taken to nse a larere sDonsc on
the head ears and forehead. If this
or any similar dip is used three times
at intervals of a week it will prove
effectual. The only objection to it
is that the lime is hareh and has a
tendencv to iniure the wpoL To
remedy this the addition of lonr or
five rounds oi potasn to tne quantity
above mentioned will be nseful .
Another dip of value is made by
taking twenty-five pounds of strong
tobacco six pounds oi potasn ana
six pounds of lime to 100 gallons of
water bome persons aaa two
quarts of tar to the above.
Growth of Colts. In order to
winter a colt well and have him
come out a fine showy sturdy ani
mal ill the spring particular atten-
tion must be .paid to his growth
rlnrino-the first summer and autumn
It the mare's milk is at all deficient
to keep the colt in good flesh and
thriving steadily it is best to have
recourse at once to cow's milk.
Skimmed milk answers very well
for this purpose especially if a little
flax-seed jelly oil or cotton-eeed
meal is mixed with it A heaped
tablespoulul uight and .morning
is enough to begin with when the
colt is a montn oiu. luis can be
gradually increased to a pint per
day by tbe time it is six months
old or double this if tbe colt be of
tbe large farm or cart-horse breed
Oats also may be given as soon as
they can be eaten. Begin with a
half-pint night and morning aud go
on increasing according to the age
and size of the animal to four
quarts per day. These together
with 'the meal above fchould be
supplemented with a couple ot
quarts of wheat bran night
and morning. The latter is excellent
to prevent worms and helps to keep
the bowels iu good condition. Colts
should not be permitted to stand on
a plank cemented paved or any
hard floor tbe hrst year as these arc
liable to injuriously affect the feet
and legs. Unless the yard where
the colts run in tbe winter has a
sandy or fine dry gravelly soil it
should be well littered so as to keep
their feet dry. Mud or soft wcttisb
ground is apt to make tender hoofs
no matter bow well-bred the colts
may be. One reason why the horse
in one district grows up superior to
those in another in hoof bone muscle
and action is because it has a dry
limestone or siliceous soil. When
the mare is at work do not let the
colt run with her; and if she comes
back from her work heated allow
her to get cool before suckling the
colt as over-heated milk is liable to
give the! foal diarrhoea. National
Aire block Journal.
The Secret of Good Butter.
Everyone knows bow superior is tbe
reputation ot Philadelphia butter
and many have the attempts been to
account for it. Perhaps the most
popular notion was that it was due
to the prevalence or the sweet vcr-
nal grass" in our pastures and hay
fields tbe grass that often gives so
peculiar a fragrance to meadow hay.
But it needed very little reasoning
to demolish such a theory as this.
This grass is one of the poorest for
bay or pasture purposes aud scarce
ly exists except on cold clay lands
partially shady places near groves or
low woods. Yet while this grass is
(he exception indeed the very rare
exception in low pastures or in tbe
bay led to our cows good butter is
the general rule in all our markets.
It has long been the opinion ot our
best agricultural generalizers of lac.
that we owe much more of the sweet-
ness of our butter to the abundance
of springs and spring bouses in our
state than to anything peculiar
which grows In our pastures. Milk
has a particular affinity tor any odors
in the atmosphere and water has
some hence whatever impurities
may get into the atmosphere of the
spring house is drawn out by run-
ning water and the very best secu-
rity is provided against their being
absorbed by the cream.
We notice this through observing
an inquiry whether tbe light of a
kerosene lamp in a dairy could pos
sibly affect the quality of the butter ;
we should answer and observed the
fearful battle that was most decided
ly in the affirmative. All odors of
every description should be care
fully avoided it tbe very best brand
is desired.
There is one little incident in tbis
reputation of Philadelphia butter
which must never be forgotten. The
followers ol feun made up a large
class ot the original farming popula-
tion. With all these people cleanli-
ness was especially one of the virtues.
It was not a mere sentiment
that it was "next to godliness'
but an every-day testimony iu all
they did. Aided in these cleanly
practices by their numerous springs
and spring-houses we have little
doubt we owe to them as much as
to any other circumstances the emi-
nent character which Philadelphia
butter enjoys; and we believe that
if other quarters would give special
attentiou to those little niceties as
good butter might be had in any
part of the Union as here. Never
theless we are obliged to add that
there is a great deal of poor butter
sold in Philadelphia made in the
eastern counties arising we think
from those having a small dairy
churning Only half as often as they
should. Germantoum Telegraph.
A Temperance Anecdote. The
truth of the following choice bit is
vouched for by Mrs. li. T. Brown of
Sligo Maryland : Col. Cameron of
V lrginia was perhaps is now a
teetotaler in principle and practice
and seldom failed to rebuke all those
whom he saw departing from his
strict rule of life One day when
dining at a hotel in Richmond a
strange man near him called for a
glass of brandy and water. Col.
Cameron began immediately to re-
buke the man for intemperance.
"Sir" said he "let me warn you in
time. 1 have at this moment a news-
paper in my pocket giving an account
of an habitual drinker who died
suddenly sir ; aud a post-mortem
examination revealed the lact sir
that bis maw was completely eaten
through by whisky sir ; completely
eaten through sir I assure you."
"And 1" replied the stranger "also
have a newspaper in my pocket sir
telling of a man who always drank
water like yourself sir. The man
died suddenly; a post-mortem re-
vealed tbe fact that bis maw was
full of tadpoles sir ; full of tadpoles
sir quite lull I assure you sir." It
is uunecessary to announce that a
general burst of laughter followed
to tne momentary discomfiture ot
Col. Cameron.
Better than Physic. Human
life is a talent a privilege a proba-
tion. To live to purpose men should
live long in order that they may
gain experiences for by the wise use
of these grand things are said and
done. It then follows that this life
should be cherished by all those
practices which tend V preserve it
in its highest healthiest forms and
to its greatest duration and there-
tore health is duty.
More people die prematurely from
want of care in any given year than
perish by plague famine pestilence
and war.
More people die of air-tight rooms
than of unchinked log-cabins.
Physicians may rest assured that
if the invalid and the convalescent
were more closely observed and
studied they would Jbe more suc-
cessful with less medicine.
It is a Deanuiut lact that while
the warmth and exposures of sum-
mer tend to biliousness and fevers
tbe free use of lruits and berries
counteracts that tendency.
Let our children starve for bread
rather than for air. Let us Bee to it
that their apartments at home and
in the school-room are well venti-
lated and that they are not loo long
confined on hard benches in crowd-
ed rooms. Let them learn to play
as well as to study. Let us educate
their bodies as well as their minds.
If a child is regularly put to sleep
at the same time for only three or
fonr days in succession the habit
willBO rapidly grow upon it that
with the air oi quiet and a little
darkening of the room it will if
well tall to Sleep wittiin a lew min
utes of the time for weeks and
months in succession such is na
ture's love for system and regular
ity.
If yon are well let yourself alone.
The forms and ceremonies of po-
liteness may be dispensed with in a
measure in the relations and intima
cies or one's own nreside but kind
attentions never.
There can be no doubt that an ill-
conditioned cellar is the unsuspected
cause of death amoug many a happy
household.
The more clothes a man wears the
more bed-clpthes he uses the closer
be Keeps his chamber whether warm
or cold tbe more he confines him-
self to the house the more uu
merous and warm his night-gar-
meets the more readily will he take
cold under all circumstances; as the
more a thriftless youth is helped
tne less ame does he become to help
himself.
More persons are destroyed by
eating too much than by drinking
too much. Gluttony kills more than
drunkenness In civilized society.
Hygiene for Horses. Dr. C. E.
Page eives the Medical and Suraical
journal some suggestions on keeping
norses in neaitb which are not only
in agreement with the best teaching
but sustained by his own and others'
experience : "The custom of working
or exercising horses uirevtly after
eating or feeding after bard work
and before they are thoroughly rest-
ed; baiting at noon when both these
violations of a natural law are com-
mitted; these are the predisposing
causes of pinkeye and of most
of the diseases that affect
our horses. Keep the horse
quiet dry warm and in a pure
atmosphere the nearer outdoor
air the better and stop his feed eu-
tirely at the first symptom of dis-
ease and be will speedily recover.
It has been demonstrated in tens ol
thousands of cases in family life that
two meals are not only ample for tbe
hardest and most exhausting labors
Shysical or mental but altogether
est. Tbe same thing has been fully
proved in hundreds of instances
with horses and has never in a sin
gle instance failed after a fair trial
to work the best results. An hour's
rest at noon is vastly more restoring
to a tired animal whether horse or
man than a meal of auy sort al-
though the latter may prove more
stimulating.
"Ihe morning meal given if pos
sible early enough for partial
stomach digestion before the muscu
lar and nervous systems are called
into active play ; the night meal of
fered long enough after work to in
sure a rested condition of the body;
a diet liberal enough but never ex-
cessive ; this is the law and gospel
of hygienic diet tor either man or
beast. I have never tried to fatten
my horses for I long ago learned
that fat is disease ; but I have always
found that if ahorse does solid work
enough he will be fairly plump if be
has two suaicient meals. Muscle is
the product of work and food ; fat
may be laid ou by food alone.
We see however plenty of
horses that are generously too
generously fed that still remain
thin and show every indication of
being under-nourished ; dyspepsia is
a diseases not confined exclusively
to creatures who own and drive
horses. But for perfect health and
immunity from disease restriction
of exercise must be met by restric-
tion in diet. Horses require more
food in cold than warm weather if
performing the same labor. In case
of a warm spell in winter I reduce
their feed more or less according
to circumstances as surely as I do
the amount consumed. I also adopt
the same principle in my own diet.
The result is that neither my ani-
mals nor myself are ever for one mo
ment sick.
