Professor Swing save- The refinement that ended vulgarity will end justice. In the newspaper and the magazine, daily and hourly the literature of the great mass of people, radical and long-needed reforms are coming. Reverence for humanity will first reveal itself in increased respect for woman’s happiness. Honorable womanhood should not be made a subject for personality, of assumed wit, ridicule, and of malicious laughter. Later this discrimination in taste and justice that shall reform much of the writing of to-day will take in the whole honorable public, and men able to write for the Press will possess as much kindness as they will have power. This reform cannot come suddenly, but it will surely come, for that advance of the soul which has made our high standards of literature sweeter in spirit cannot pause at that conquest. It will move onward until the perishable writings of each day and week will be as lofty as the poems of W nittier or the prose of Charles Sumner, Such a transformation is too greac for our age. It must be assigned to the next century. It buds now; it will blossom to-morrow. New orders relative to the shoeing of the United States cavalry horses have been issued, and these can with advantage be recommended generally. The order is ns follows :—“ In preparing the horse’s foot for the shoe do not touch with the knife the frog, sole or bars. In removing surplus growth of that part of the foot which is ths seat of the shoe, use the cutting pinchers and rasp and not the knife. The shoeing knife may be used, if necessary, in using the toe clip. Opening the heels or making a cut into the angle of the wall at the heel must not be allowed. The rasp may be used upon the part cf the foot when necessary, and ihe same ap-*-plies to the pegs. No cutting with the knife is permitted; the rasp alone is necessary. Flat footed horses should be treated as the necessity of each case may require. In forging the shoe to fit the foot, be caieful that the shoe is fitted to and follows the circumference of the fpot clear round the heels ; ’he heels of the shoe should not be extended back straight and outside of the walls at the heels of the horse’s foot, as is frequently done. Care must be used that the shoe is not fitted too small, the outside surface of the wall being then rasped down to make the foot short to suit the shoe, as often happens. The hot shoe must not be applied to the horse’s foot under any circumstances. Make the upper or foot surface of the shoe perfectly flat, so as to give a level bearing. A shoe with a concave ground surface should be used.”
