A very distinguished Burgeon asserts
that when once the bulbous enlargement
6t the trog is removed, it never again is
fully reproduced, and that this is the rea
son why we can not find it in many
abod hones. It not only protects the
navicular bone, but, to a certain extent,
the coffinjoint. Yet there is no part ot
the frog with which greater liberties
are taken than with this. In fact, it
generally undergoes a pretty essentia t
whittling every time the horse has an
introduction to the man ot knife and
hammer. The bulb of the toe once re
moved nature causes augmented secre
tion ot horny surface to supply the de-ficiencT-
The secretion is very abun
dant, but nature is no match against
edged topis the faster H goes the better
chance is there, by those who feel dis
posed to whittle, at every subsequent
shoeing. Such extraordinary efforts at
reproduction impairs the secretory func
tion, and we then have a hard, brittle
substance destitute of elasticity, which
almost defies the knife ot the sb oer
Then consider the frog itself that well
defined promontory ; that cushion-like
substance, which, by coming in contact
with the ground, prevents jar and con.
cussiob, not only to the sensitive tissues
within the hoof, but to the joints
above in fact, it lessens body concuss
ion. It is a part which develops itself
in the same ratio with the hoof And sole,
establishing 6 strong bond of union
between the sensitive tissues and the
insensible. A part, therefore, which
serves as the basis ot the animal struct
ure, can not be removed with impunity.
Cut away the frog and we take away
the solar 6upporf, and prevent that
sole coming in contact with the ground
Now put ou a shoo having no bearing
but against the hoof, and we shall
readily perceive that the horse's weight
is borne by the hoof. So great a weight,
having no opposing resistance, except
that lurnisned by the inside of the hoof,
must naturally lead to strain of the
animal and desc nt of r-ole. Deseei.t
of sole implies laminal dislocation, the
the horse then is in a partly1 ruined
condition. We contend, therefore, that
the frog should seldom, if ever, be int
terfered with, We remove the roug7
and loose portions about as mucn as
the animal without shoes would natur
ally wear off, and this is not always
good policy, for the ragged, uneven
parts often serve as a protection to the
new formations above. The parts
look better tor paring, we grant, but
health does not consist of beauty alone.
We have seen very handsome horses,
vet having the finger of death on them.
You may get a very handsome hoot by
rasping of scraping it with glass, but
we will defy any man to make a healthy
one by the same process. The time
Aas been, when the catting away ot the
. trog was recommended by some very
eminent men, so that the smiths who
now practice it in good faith, are no
more' to be blamed than the" farmet
- One author baa tried to smooth over
tlie affair, by observing that the frog
. Offers so little resistrnce to the knife,
and presents such an even snrlafce so
clean, nice, aixl smooth, thai it requires
more philosophy than1 smiths" generally
possess to "resist the temptation to slice
it away, despite a knowledge that it
would , be far wisefto let it' alone. If
the ydpinion ot veterinary surgeons is
ot any value, the reader must confess
that the error of paring the trog is in
jurious. One ot the best authors 00
be subject, says that he never allows a
- knife to approach the frog, because ex
. periment has shows that the frog pos-
esses le3s power of reproducing horn
than other r arts, and the same individual
baa had horses in his possession five
years whose frogs never made the
acquaintance of a knife. Examine the
structure of the frog, and you will find
that H is covered' with a thin, delicate
envelope: 8 texture once removed is
sparingly reprcdocedl Cnt it oil and
the parts benesib aftf'onptotected un
fitted to grapple with the hard ground,

But the reader, may asks1 Haw is the
trog to disencumber itself ot its appareut

VTar' a "swerT' ESisre' has provided a
means ; a casting off of the trog surfaces i
now and then takes place But we

And there are no stars in the firmament

That man steers his war ! across the
broad Atlantic right into the mouth of
a harbor in yon tar distant Old World.
What an effort of science and reason,
yon say. But above that vessel's top
mast a flight of birds are on the wing,
and beneath that vessel's keel a shoal ot
fish are cutting the deep with their fins.
They have no compass or chart. Yet
through the very depths ot ocean, the
birds above and the fish beiow, steer on
their course back to the very place
where they were born. There is an in

it instinct. That is merely a name giv

Of course all of you. hive heSid of
the dead letter , office at Washington,
and I suppose you have the same vague
idea that I had until I went there acd
learned better that it is a place where
letters are sent when they fail to reach
those for whom they are intended, and
are thence returned to' the writers.
Really, now, I believe this is what most
grown up people think, too, but in
truth, it is such a wonderful place that
I am sure you will be surprised when I
tell you some of the things: you may
find there, and I think when; you come
to Washington ft will be one ot the
first places you will wish to visit.
Yon will be surprised to learn that
something over 4,000,000 letters are
sent to the dead letter office every year
There are three things that render
them liable to this'i First, bSTng' un
claimed by persons to whom they are
addressed; second, when some important
jiart ot the address is omitted, as "James
Smith," Maryland r third, fur want ot
postage. j
Yi1 the second cause mentioned
above', about 65,000 letters were sent to
the dead letter office during the past
year ; for the third, 300,000, and 3,0C0
had no address whatever. j
When these letters reach the dead
letter ofnee they are divided into two
Classes, viz : domestic and foreign, the
latter being returned unopened to the
countries from which they started.
Tlie domestic letters, alter being
opened, are classed accord iug to their
conteuts. Those containing money are
called "money letters ;" those with
drafts, money orders, deeds, notes, etc.
"minor letters," and such as Inclose re
ceipts, photographs, etc., "sub-minors."
Letters which contain ny thing, evcu a
postage 6tamp, are recorded, and those
with money of drafts are sent to the
postmaster where the letters were first
mailed, tot them to find the owners and
get a receipt. From thirty-five to fifty
thousand dollars ecme into the office in
this way during the year; but a large
portion is restored to the senders, ai d
the remainder is deposited in the Uni
ted States Treasury to the credit ct the
Post Office Department. j
When letters contain nothiug ot val
ue, if possible they are returned to the
writers. There are clerks so expert in
reading all kinds of writing that they
can discern a plain address where ordi
nary eyes could not trace a word.
And such spelling ! Would you ever
imagine that Galveston could be
tortured Into "Calresdon," Connecticut
into "fvanedikait," and Territory into
"Teartoir." Harper'' a Young People.

An old gentleman, bent with the
weight of more than three score and
ten years, has recently been noticed a's
one ot the habitues of the office of the
Secretary of War; This old gentle
man, like many others whose faces and
forms are familiar in official circles, is
seeking for Justice. His case has the
savor of romance; Forty three years
ago Lieutenant James Shanmburg, a
young and dashing Second Lieutenant
ot dragoons, was stationed at Fort ies
Moines, Iowa, where the flourishing
city of that name now stands. His
father lay sick unto death in New
Orleans, and the young Lieutenant ap
plied for leave ot absence to visit his
parent. Leave was refused, and his
tendered resigitation,with three months
leave ot alienee, was then accented
He went to Xew Orleans and his
father died shortly after. Before his
three months' leive had expired Presi
dent Jackson issued an order permitting
officers who had resigned with leave
ot absence yet unexpired, and who
chose to do so, to withdraw their resig
nations on condition that they immedi
ately rejoined their commands. Lieu
tenant Shanmburg availed himself of
this order and rejoined his command,
'which in th'4 meantime had been order
ed to the scene of the Florida war. II U
name was sent to the Senate for promo
tion, to be First Lieutenant in the
Second Dragoons. In a very short
time after this he was greatly surprised
to fcteive a notification from the War
Department that his resignation as
First Lieutenant was accepted. He
wrote back explaining the circum
stances, but without avail, and found
himself thrust out of the army. He
immediately came to Washington, and
for these forty-three years has appealei?
successively to every President and
Secretary of War who has been in
office for redress. General Jackson,
after leaving the Presidency, wrote a
strong letter in favor ot his reinstate.'
meut. President Tyler, just as he
was going out of office, issued an 61'dcr
reinstating him, which Preside ut Polk
revoked. Upoij one occasion thirty six
S5ators signed a petition asking his
reinstatement. General Grant took
much interest in his case, but thought
he ought to go to Congress, and Secre
tary McCraty has advised him that
now, after such a lapse of time, Con
gress only has power to give him the
desired relief. General Ewell, of the
Confederate army, and Generals Ruck,
er, Phil. Kearney ,P. St. George Cooke
and f fu nter, of the Union army, were
Second Lieutenants in the Second Regi
ment ot Dragoons with Lieutenant
Shanmburg. ,
