It t STRANGfc. CURIOS. V Doctor Etprrlonrp Willi South Ameri can ...e-it ami ,nlnml. There is it big room or two up at Columbia College, in which are spread abroad more wonders than were ever dreamt of in Horatio's philosophy. "Birds beasts, fishes, plants of strange nature. Indian relies and all manner of South American wonders are here, the prizes captured in a two years' struggle with danger and suft'ering by an American scientific investigator. The owner of these treasures is Dr. floitrv 11. Rosby, of Detroit, who, .Januarv 10, I8S0 left New York for a tour through Chili and Bolivia in the hope of discovering amid the fauna and tlora of the Andes and the Amazon home valuable additions to the medi cinal riches of the American pharina copu'ia. Dr. Ito-div's adventures were many and interesting. He met the Mirocho in its nath'c lair, did battle with the Caripuna Indians and the man-eating fish and alligators of the Belli river, broiled in the stenches of La l'az, the filthiest city this side of Constantinople, took his daily d ses of quinine like a little man. and saw the place where live million cinchona trees are growing, the source from which all the calisuya cocktails of the future iim-t come. From all this he came out much the wor-o for wear, but still full of enthu siasm, and coniideiit that out of the three hundred native drugs he had ex amined, two or three would prove, su perior to the similar lvinedif now known to the medical profession. Dr. Bos by intended to land at Mallen- do and go direct to Bolivia, but the Pe ruvian w;ir prevented. General Caceras was making things lively for the au thorities. So he was obliged to travel by mule from Taenia to La Paz. a seven-days' journey, going from Ariea to Taenia by rail, a tough journey across a desert, without the shade of a spear grass to relieve the monotony. 'The whole country of Ariea and Taenia has been captured by the Chil ians," said the doctor. "It is to be kept for ten years. At the end of that time the inhabitants will vote whether tore main in Chili or go back tt lYru. The country which gets them must pay ?10.uo6.000 for the prize. Mean while Chili is doing every thing possible to make things pleasant for the people with music ami games. The Chillians' present pur pose is to have a United States of South America, capturing the other countries little by little, and gradually adding to their strength and wealth. They are a blood-thirsty people, loving war" and extremely brutal in earning it on. They murder men, women and children with impartial cruelty, rip ping them open with big knives. Our journey irom Taenia was one of terrible suffering. It was upon a high table-land, reaching an elevation of 10, GUI) feet, and for five days we journeyed at an elevation of 11, 100 feet. The air was so rarelied that we suffered much from soroche, the chief symptoms of which were dilli culty in "breathing. prostrating muscular weakness and bleeding at the nose and ears We passed the beautiful volcano of Tacosa. which dis charges across the road a river, the wa ter of which is fatal to human life. Men often commit suicide on the t-ble-land; they sutler so much from sorocho. There is also great danger from light ning, which is frequent and violent At one time thro 1 members of a patty, in which 1 was. were prostrated by lightning, ami a fourth was stricken blind for eleven das. The wind is so violent here that tree can not grow, and the vegetation is mat-like, closely hugging the ground. Dr. Bosby crossed the Andes with much tribulation, and went to work among the valleys of the eastern slope. He advises investors to keep away from the old Spanish sil ver mines,. and says that in v belief that they were crudely work d is a mistake. The Spaniards did not lcae much mineral richness be hind in their mines. "In Bolh in," he said, "half the silver is counterfeit. A Consul, who had grown tired of mak ing coin sold his counterfeiting ma chine to one of our party." Among the wonders which the doctor met was a half-pound li-h, so sensitive that it attacked any thing which caused a 'commotion in the water, and so tierce that it would kill horse or man in crossing a stream one hundred feet wide, lie found a tribe of Indians so virtuous that they t'nd the ir faithful to ant-trees, and the little insects would cat them alive, stripping the bones in less than twenty-four hours. In brief, he had a great time. Ar. J'. World. Overfeeding Dairy Cows. A very usual cause of barrenness in cows and other dome-tie animals, is excessive fat. Cows of improved beef breeds are more liable to this than those having less natural teiulopcy to lay on fat. Heifers well kept during winter, and turned on line pastures in the spring, ln-come fat before autumn. A thrifty heifer can be wintered in good condition on good tame hay, with a lit tle bran or other non-fattening food. 11 the animal is given a warm shelter, very little fcraiii u advisable, and the supply of hay should be regulated by actual wants. Freedom and exercise are to be given at nil times when the weather is not too severe. As mmiii as the grass is well started in spring, heifer. m cows in. otf, should bu turned out wuciv they will bo conipe'.rel to travel 41 great ileal far fl)0,j. In well-fed herd the barren txyvs are usually these which are inclined to fat ten, i u her than those wb.h ebxnge their food into Urge qUftUtitlet af milk. Pratrit Ffirmtr. HORSES.

No horse can be (omplotcly tra mil anil educated until it is n.ne or ten years old. At that age, if it has been well used, it has learned to depend wholly upon the master's judgment and coiitiol. and is notalai med at any thing that may happen, if the voice of. the owner is' heard and his hand is felt to he still in control.
