[S13 | " OUR EQUINE PATIEATS. 4 Damger Incurred by Setting the Horses ai Work Too Soda, Absolnte Test and Ceveful Fussing Keees- sary to Suceessful Treatment, Several Fatal Cases Yestorday---The Ozen Must Be Well Shod. Suggestions by thke JIllinois Hu- aane Society. CHICAGO. The largely increased number of horses to be seen in the streets yesterday wes genemll; ac- cepted a8 an indication that the disease is on the wane, Thisis probably true toa slight ex- tent—that is to say, the cool, clear weather has undoubtedly exercised a favorable effect, and in many cases, whero the horses have been well cared for and steadily kept from work, the epi- demic has reached its height, and an improvod condition of things has set in. Nevertheless, the unusually large number of horses at work yesterday is by no means a favorable indication, for, while it points to a somewhat better state of heslth, it also plainly tells that people are set~ ting their horses st work too goon. It hss been by this time conclusively demonstrated, both in this and other cities, that ABSOLUTE REST AND CAREFUL NURSING are necessary to the suceessful treatment of the disease, and that to work the horse before he ‘has thoronghly recovered produces a dangerous _relapse, Owners will save the lives of their . stock, and recover their use much sooner, by ikeeping them stabled until they are perfectly «eured. This question was the subject of & cou- fference, yesterday, besween the Meayor 2nd Dr. RBsuch, who seriously considered the propriety \ Vf interposing the power of - the Police Depart- o 3t to prevent tho premature working of borses.

A derrick accident, happily unattended by fa- tal consequences, oceurred at the Union Nation- ol Bank Building, corner of Washington and La- Salle streets, about 5 o'clock last evening. One of the columns weighing about two tons was be- ing hoisted by means of a derrick braced against a partition wall on the top of the building. Men were working on the wall when it gave way, causing the derrick to upset and precipitating the men every way, Ben Beeder, living on Prairie avenue, was cut severely in the head and had 'his arm_ bruised, and William Fitzgerald, of No. 255 Wood streot, was hurt in the back ; John Bosquie, of 161 Division strect, had his hand badly cut, and two others were slightly injured. It is not likely that any of the cases will prove fatal. The ca{umn fell, breaking in two, and damaging the eidewalk. Fortunately, no one was under it Everything. The Cambrian Literary Society was organized on Tuesday evening by the Welshmen of Chi- cago. Another new hotel, this time s suburban one, on the Lake shore,’ south of Twenty-second steet, is being designed by W. W. Boyington for resident parties. J. H. Clinton, a sneak-thief, was arrested last evening by Oflicer Pernoid, of the Madison Street Station, while in the act of stealing an_overcoat from in front of & West Side clothing store.

On Tuesday evening Miss Emily Faith- full, from England, will make her first appear- ance in Chicago. Matthew Donoghue, an employee of the Pitts- burgh & Fort Wayne Railroad Company, was run over by a train of cars between Stewert ave- nue and Canal street at 3 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. His right arm was broken in several laces, and had to be amputated. He resides at No. 105 West Twelfth street. BY‘‘There will be & meeting of the FEina Base Ball Club, this evening, at No. 18 North Jefferson streot, for the distribution of tickets.” Such is the text of & brief communication from the Sec-~ retary of the organization. The public pines to know what the tickets are for,—whether soup, or a ball, is the object of the distribution. The stampede from the Lake Shore Park has Deen o general one, and nearly all the emergency tengots are in new quarters, and the shanties Lave most of them disappesred. Next year the ark will be fllled and levelled, and it is not be- ieved that the Chinese landscape making will bo sgain attempted. Lake and mountain ef- fects, with a few yards of earth and a few gal- lons of water, are more expensive than expe- dient. The Alumni of Amherst College will recall reminiscences of their alma mater and havea merry time in the shape of & banguet, to bogiven goon 2t the Sherman House. This is the Jargest Alumni Association in the West, and the anni- versary celebration will undoubtedly call out a large attendance. The Asaociation will goon es- tablish elegant quarters somewhere on Wabash avenue At half-past 10 o'clock on Tuesday night Officers Crogau and Traynor, who were on duty at the polls 1n Healey Hall, Bridgeport, were called upon to gueil a distarbance, and eject & numerous party of roughs. In the at- tempt Crogan was soverely wounded in tho hend with a chair. Both ofticers would have been ‘badly beaten had it not been for the_timely ar- rivaf of reinforcements, with the aid of which several arrests were made. The rowdies were swtably fined by Justice Banyon, yesterday. The body of an unknown man was found flgat- in the river, near Madison street bridge, at -past 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and was Temoved to the Morgue, where it now awaits identification. The remains are those of & man apparently abont 40 years of age, having a dark complexion and a heavy brown beard. Deceased was about six feet in height, weighed about two bundred pounds, and was dressed in a short, black coat, brown vest, striped pantaloons, and army shoes. The body was in the river probably ton days. About twenty West Side citizens received com- pensation for the absencoof gas in thostreots yes- terdsy. An omnibus of the ‘‘ Independent Line,” bearing the familiar legend West Madison Btreet,” ranfrom State to Robey street, yestor- day afternoon, fare 10 cents. About 450 people looked at the ingide, and regretted that it was crowdpd. About 825 looked at the horses, and thought they might be compelled to walk after all, One old Jady thought it was cruelty to drive Torsen at present, sick or well. The twenty passengers had the best of if. Rafferty and Perteet, the murderers, were granted new trisig yesterday by the Supreme Court because the Cow below refused a change of venue. The entire Bench concurred and n majority held that evidencs relative to the in- toxication of Raflerty st the timeo the murder was committed should not have been excluded on his {ria]. Gregori Peri was not 5o fortunste, his sentence being afirmed, the execution to take place Dee, 2€. Chief Justice Lawrence and Justices McAllister snd Scott, dissented on tho round of error in one of ihe instructions given gy ihe People. John §midt, the young man who was stsihed by Joseph Turen in a saloon on _Hawthorne zy- enue, on Tuesdzy afternoon, under the circum- stances mentioned jn yesterday's TRIBUNE, is likely to rocover. His ssailant was arrignod befors Justice Kouffman yesterday sfternoon, and remended to jail for ten days vjthout bail, to await the result of Smidt's injuries, In the event of the latter's recovery, it is more than likely that Turen wiil not be_ prosecuted, as the yarties have always been, 2nd are still, tho best of fricnds. At least both so ssacrted yesterdsy. An accldont, which narrowly fell short of being terribly serious, occurred yesterdsy aftor- noon in the matines performance of the * Black Crook” at the Academy of Music. In the trans- formation scene in the lnst act, Miss Flora New- tom, who takes the part of Amina, brought her Tong bridel veil in contact with & gas jet, when the gauzy texture took fire, and in an instent flna'fim’ze flashed up to her neck.

Judgs Drummond deliverod his opinion, yes- terday morning, on the revisory petion of King, Hale, and others. The case presented itself in the following shape: About o month ago, arule was inndiug in the District Court ageinst’ G. C. Smith, Treasurer of the State Insurance Com- pany, roquiring him to show cause why ho should not pay over some 300,000 and 0dd dol- Iara to the assignee, for the use of the creditors; the rule was discharged bg the District Court, on a settlement made by the assignee, with said Smith, by which the sum of $157,000 only was paid over, without the consent of the peti- tioners or their attorneys. From this action of the District Court, in dischngfing said rule, pe- titioners dissonted; thoy filed a revisory peti- tion in the Circuit Court, praying that the action of the assignee, = in entering into the compromise, and the action of the _ Districk =~ Court, in discharging the rule in the terms of the compromise, be set aside, and the rule reinstated. To this the respondent, George C. Smith, r:(iflied, among other things, that the auditors had no stinding in the Court, the assigneo being the only lcffl representative of the estate, and yesterdny Judge Drummond decided. His Honor eaid that the auditors have a right to intervene, that they Lave a rightful standing in both Courts,and that the rule bo reinstated in accordsnce with the prayer of the potition. Tho Court was further understood to have said that the balance of the money would have to be paid into Court, ora satisfactory bond be given for tho same. FINAL ACCOUNT. The final account of Horace A. Hurlbut, Re- ceiver of the State Insurance Company, in bauk- ruptey, was yesterday approved on the Chancery sir?e of the Circuit Court. The Receiver states that he hus on hand & balance of $15,879.62, consisting of balance_ ns per provious report $15,634.62) loss paid Hitchcock, Dupes & Lvarts, solicitors’ fees, and costs of Court, and he asks permission to transfer the same to the assignee, which is granted. U v T Estates in the Moon,. From the Troy (N. X.) Tames. Caleb_Williamson, of this city, Major J. H. Campbell, H. J, Mason, and Willism Davenport, of Lansingburg, and probably other parties have received letters from England and Scotlans to the effect that relatives there had died and left them immense fortunes,—in the cases of the two former $1,500,000 each. These letters sre all signed, we beliove, by #D. D, T. Benedict, Foreign Claim Agent,” and ave simply printed circulars, with the names and the amounts of the legacies written in, go that it is evident Benedict does s large business in this line. Further information will bo given if the parties apply for it by letter. Of course, the next de- mend of Mr. Benedict will be for & retainer to engage his services, and after that is securcd it is more than likely tho parties to whom he_has written will never bear from him again.

The Men of the Empire, Past and Present. DBerlin (0Oct.8) Correspondence of the London Daily Lelegraph In o leading article that recently appeared in your columns, it was justly observed that, despite ihe fondness for and aptitude in athletic sports characterizing the English peopls, Britons of the present generation cannot boast of greater size, width, weight, and endurance than were attained by their forofathers. This statement, which I have no doubtis woll founded, sugzested to me an inquiry with respect to the actual state of physical standards in Prussia as compared with their conditions half & contury ago, shortly aftor the conclusion.of the War of I'mancipation, ‘which left Germany impoverished and enfeebled; though victorious. The few trustworthy data I have been able to glean upon this subject may not be without interest for yourreaders. Noth- ing strikes a foreigner, ospecially if he be & mil- itary man, 80 forcible upon entering Prussis, either from France or Belgium, as the size of the soldiers comlpared with that of the dapper but under-sized legionaries he has encountered in the last-nemed countries. The Prussisn liner is not only & taller fellow than the French or Belgian pioupiou, but he is stouter, heavier, and stronger than either. On anaverage, five Prus- sian liners weigh as much 85 six French lignards ; this fact was setisfactorily established during the last war, when the presence of some 300,000 Trench woldiers in Germany enabled military ethnologists to ascertain \riti considerable ac- curacy vue main difference in the physical mate- rials of which the hostile armies were composed. The eleven-stone man may be said to predom- inate throughout the Prussian army, putting the Guards’ corps out of the question ; and in one or two of the provincial corps—as, for instance, the Second (Pomeranian), the Brandenburgh, and Westphalian Corps—unless] ammuch mistiken, there are often as many twelve-stone as ten- stone men. The Infanfry of the Guard and Guard Londwehr presents 2 body of men num- bering betwoen 40,000 and 50,000, whose average Leight ia 5 foot 93¢ inches, asud weight 11 stone pounds. From 6,000 to' 7,000 of thess range from & feet to 6 fect 6 inches in height. All the Cuirassiors—thero are fiftcon or sixteen regi- ments of them, if I romember aright—are Luge fellows, those of the Guard being giants in sizo, breadth,and strength, riding nearly 21 stone with their accoutrements, &c. ‘The Foot Artillery is composed of picked men, ranging between 5 feet eight inches and six feet high. Evenin the Polish and East Prussian Infantry regiments, recruited in districts the well-being of which- etands at & mach lower average than thet of the other Prussian provinces (I Liave been nssured on indisputable authority that a large proportion of the aunual contingent from Prussian Poland, Lithuania and the barren lands on the Russian {frontier, consists of youths who have mever tasted meat or wine until they joined the ranks of thearmy,) & man ecanding under five foet five inches in his regimental boots is a rare and ex- ceptional sight. And in this country above all others, the army and the male population are convertible terms. The army is more than the pick of the nation— ivis tho nation itself. All the male sdults of Prussia, save crpples, duarfs, or thoso alicted by constitutional debilities, have been, ate, orwill be soldiers. Youtbhs are, s it were, taken bodily out of the way of tomptation at tho most danger- ous period of their lives, when their passions are at & maximum sud their judgment at u minimum, and sequestored from the world for nearly threa years, during which thoir muscles are developed, 204 their intelligence supplied with the means of aevelopment. 'They are taught to practice an absoluto and blind obedience ; they aro fed whole- somely and sufliciently, but'in such sort asto rendor them comparatively indifferent to good cheer; they are made to work harder than they would have had tolabor at any calling whatsoover in private lifo; their morals are looked after with extremestrictuess, and when they have complet- ad their torm of service, if they manifest no desire to * capitulate or ro-enlist, they are dis- migsed to their respective_civil avocations, as 8 rule, in high heslth, bodily and montal, well £t up, bard and tough, sound in wind and limb, with habits of order, sobricty, and economy, nud in overy respect botter me than they would have beon had they spent the three years in question at the plow, the forge, or the dosk. The larg majority of these enancipes return to tho groove from which their summons to the Prussian stondards plucked them in their 21 st year, and, ag s0on as they had recovered tho ground lost'to them during their absence, marry aud beget large vigorous children. This is the coun- try par czcellence for early marriages and large familics—of course I mean mmong the lower classes. The throngs of sturdy, hardy children porvading tho strcets of Prussian towns and villages would cause a disciple of Malthus to shudder with horror and disgust at every atepho took in localities 8o philoprogenitively defiant of his principles. These riotous and masterful youngsters are, in & great measure, the practical Tesults of tho general military service system. Generotion upon generation of them, for the last sixty years, have Leen making their sppear- anco upon this worldly stege, cach a trifle bigger or stronger than its predecessor—a very tntle, {osaibley, but still something. And 8o it i sthat he army measures have ‘waxed and increased since 1813, until thoy have reached dimensions that, could the Prussian hosts of the Befreiungs- krieg be summoned from their rest and paraded for inspection by the side of the present army, would astonish those vetorans vory considerably: ‘The uniforms of the 1872 levics would hang Iil draperies on the limbs of Blucher’s ‘‘babes™ and Lutzow's Wild Huontsmen ; and the sinewy young troops that invaded Franco s couple of years ago could not get into the breeches and tmnics of the heroes who struggled against Na- lJ')oleo_n’n legions at Ligny and Gemappes, udging from tho data T have been able to get at, X should suy that the avernge Prussian adulf of 1872 is threo inches bigger round the chest snd two inches taller than was_his grandfather or great-grandfather in 1822. Nor must this be aitributed to an incremen in general bien-elre; for that has been also the case, and to a greator extent in’ Grest Britsin, and yet it appears— wvide your leader—to be admitted that Great B tons ‘are not larger or strongor men than their progenitors. No; it is not becanse the Prussions of nowadays eat more meat, drink more wine and beer, and work fewer hours daily than did those other Prussians with whom our troops fought side by side ia Belgian plains and forests, that iheir stature and girth have increased, while ours have remained *‘as they were;” it is because half & century or_more of compulsory military service has coerced Prussian men, from father to son, into improving the condition of their bodies, with the ited object, truly, of attaining the highest possible degree of fighting power, but also with the magnificent effect of ameliorating in an extraordinary measure tho ghysicxl force of a whole nation.” Moreover, the rugsians, as a people, have enjoyed the in- estimable’ advantage of poverty, They have been fhore’ sober, moré chaste; more thrifty, ‘morb jnured to privations, harder worked than any other great European people—not because they are of their nature paragons of the virtues, far’from it, bup becnusp lisrd necossityhas been their master, ag well as thp shrewd, sagacious Hobenzollern, Wealth brings with it comforts and Iuxurics, and is followed hard &t heol by degeneration. It makes lifo easier and happier, and, like the pursuit of the arts, softens tho manners. Thiry years of almost unexampled rosperity delivered great France, comrageous Eub impotent, into the hands of her foed, whose ‘bodies and souls had bogn fempered the while to the hardneéss of steel by poverty, hard work, and fmgalty, And et who—no being of elther ationality—does not prefer s Frenchman to a Pryissian as & companion ? For poverty does not m?to Peopls m;;ig&!e, nor, to tell truth, does hard work, while thers ja but g step from thrifti- ness to meanness; and amenity ‘of fealing, courtesy of demeanor, even common civility, are wnigrtnnately incompatible with the mental and phyxlc'u.l Hnbits inculcsted in o people by & mili- tary regimie Jike that which obtains in Gamgeny ab the pr ent'dsy.

As far 28 English physical modifications are concerned, I must leave your readers to draw their own in- ferences from the facts detailed above. MOAB. The Expedition for Xts Exploration. From the London Mail. Among several papers of interest which were read before the British Adsociation at Brighton, there was one by the Rev. Dr. Tristram, F. R. 8., ontaining an account of the resnlts of the ex- pedition for the exploration of Mosb, which owed its origin to the Committee of the Geo- graphical Section. e direct line of country between Heshbon and Petra hag been traversed and described by some half a dozen travellers within & century, but east and west of this nothing was known prior to Dr. Tristram's visit. Names hitherto Beattered broadcast over the map of Moab, at the suggestion of Arabs pointing froma dis- tance were identified and kept, others were cor rected or erased, and some added. Making Umm Rasas their headquarters, and working from it 8s 8 centro, the diminished party first strnck virgin ground on the 17th of February. Tho Pilgrim road from Damascus to Mecca was en- countered some twelve miles further east than it was supposed to run, and was found to form & striking feature on the level and otherwise nn- broken plain. For some fifty ands in breadth parallel furrows run in perfectly straight lines, the result of the tramp, year after year, of con- tinuous files of camels and men. Ziza, mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary as the station of a squadron of cavalry, became another centre for exploration, and from_here was made a most important and remarkable dis- covery. The ruinsof a magnificent palace, far more perfoct than snything of so early a date hitherto discovered in Moab, were found on the borders of the desert, east-southeast of Hesh- bon, and furnigh & new problem for antiquaries at home. A quadrangle of freestone incloses a palace of brick ; the quadrangle measures 170 yards on every side, and is furnished with semi- circular bastions. On either side of the only entranco is a facade of carved work, 180 feet in length and 17 feet in height. Animals, birds, flowers, fruit, and even men are chiselled with great thoronghness of work and delicacy of touch, and the whole is in a marvellous state of preservation. The vaulted roofs of eight of the chambers_of the palace yot remain, and the ‘plan and details haye led Mr. Ferguson to con- jecture that the Persian conqueror Chosroes was the founder. Sir Henry Rawlinson questioned the soundness of this opinion, on the ground that a military invader who merely crossed this tract on his way to Egypt would not have bad sufficient hold upon the country to attempt such s work. Be this as it may, the date of the building must bo somewhere abount A.D. 600. Tho Arabic name, “ Umm Shittah,” gives no clue to the history of the place. To the west of the pilgrim road already men- tioned, the gorge of the Kallirhoe, the site of the Lot baths where Herod the Great sought to obtain a cure, was thoroughly explored. This gorge was not unknown before, but Makaur, which from its modern name and from the re- semblance of its position to the description given by Joscphus must also certainly be Mach- itrus, was reached for the first time. Other travellers have seen it from & distsnce, or, more probably, have had the direction of its site pointed out to them, and haye then marked it erroneously on their maps; but Dr. Tristram is the first whoin modern times has stood upon the 8pot where John the Baptist suffered imprison- ment and death. The names and details of other ruined towns are far too numerous to be given, for, as Mr. Stanford afterwards expressed it, Dr. Tristram's report *‘porfectly bristled” with new facts, most of which could only be conveyed clearly by the aid of plans and illus- trations. We may mention, however, that a re- markable addition to our knowledge of the Dead Sea was one of the fruits of the expedition. Neither the American exg.‘lorers under Lynch nor the French under the Duc de Luynes, though both parties had boats, scem to have observed the great dissimilarity between the Judwn and the Moabite shore of this salt lake of the East. The western shore is well known to bo & desert of glaring marl, almost entirely destituto of vegetation of any kind. It now ap- pears that the eastern shore, owing toa differ- ent gaological formation and s comparatively abundant_supply of water, is not only covered with smallplantsand studded by deciduous trees, but has towards its northern extremity palms growing luxunantly in the clefts of the rocks overhanging the sea itgelf, and climbing far up the mountains. —_— Singular Controversy. A singular controversy has occurred at Con- stantinople, according fo_the Alhengum. The Government have determined that instruction in the Imperial School of Medicine shall be given in Turkish, and have removed all the professors who cannot spesk the National language. Of courso, this has occasioned an outery on tho part of those French-speaking professors who Lave sgcnt many years in the country and have not chosen to acquire its language. . The Turks say they started their school as & National school and not 2 foreign one; that the pupils receive inadoquate instruction from its being conveyed in a foreign language ; ond that they have not been nup%l.ied. as they expected, with manuals in Turkish, The authorities have, therefore, determined to run the risk of the change, and attempt to get for this school, ss for others, books and teaching in the vernacular. They maintain that, 23 medicine has for years been taught in Arabic, it can be taught in Turkish. Horse Disease at Cleveland.
