An Address.
The director general lias issued
1 lie following address to tlie
press: To Ihe Eililors of Ihe
Country : The announcement has
been repeatedly made that, the
International Cotton Exposition
will certainly close December
wist, but from hundreds of letters
daily received at litis office it is
evident that the people general
ly hope that something may oc
cur to induce the managers to
extend it through January, 1.
therefore, respectlully request
the press to say tfiae such au ex
tension is absolutely imuossible.
The exhibits will remain intact
until the last evening of this
month. The work of removal
will begin January 21. I would
also announce that I lie last will
be in all respects the most inter
esting and important week of the
Exposition, and the closing cer
emonies will be partidarly im
pressive. In giving to the press
this, which will probably lie the
last general bulletin I shall issue.
I desire to thank the journals of
this country for the untiring ami
unstinted support they have giv
en to tha Exposition from first to
last. To this more than to all
olher causes combined its mag
nificent success is to be ascribed.

How to Treat Animals.
Another individual attempts
by running and yelling to catch
his cow or cows. Why do these
naturally gentle animals run
away from him? Because they
remember fully well that on for
mer occasions, when ho has suc
ceeded in catching them, a series
of blows from some heavy cudgel
has been their reward. Is there
not some bolter way of securing
the good will or our herds and in
managing them as we wish?
There is a hollow place on the
head of every cow, just behind
the junction of the horns, which
is commonly full of dust, short
hairs and the like, causing the
animal an itching sensation. It
is a source of extreme pleasure
to the cow to have the spot
scralced, and since from its loca
tion the animal cannot reach it,
hence when her keepei approach
es her, either in the stable or in
tiie pasture, an era of good feel
ing may be established if due at
tenlton be paid to scratching this
hollow spot. If, at your first ap
proach, the cow is a little shy,
offer her from one hand a nubbin
of corn, while with the other
hand you gently scratch the par
ticular spot in her head metdion
ed above. In a very short time,
whenever you go into pasture,
the whole herd will come to you
to have their heads scratched,
you will soon be satisfied that it
is as easy to have them follow
you as to resort, to driving and
loud noise. —American Cultiva

The Mormon Disgrace,
Extract from Pros. Arthur’s
Message: For many years the
Executive, in his annual message
to Congress, has urged the lie
cessity of stringent legislation
for the suppression of polygamy
in the territories, and especially
the territory of Utah. The ex
isting statute for the punish
ment of this odious crime, so re
rolling to tiie moraljand religious
sense of Christendom, has been
persistently and contemptiously
Violated ever since its enact
menl. Indeed, iu spite of the
commendable eflorls on the part
of the authorities who represent
the United States in that territo
ry, the law has in very rare in
stances been enforced, and for
a cause, reference le which will
presently be made, is practically
'.* •Iran letter, flic tact that the
adherent* ot the Mormon church
which reals upon polygamy as its
j corner stone have been peopling
J in huge numbers, Idaho, Arizona
| and other of our western territo
! lies, well calculated to excite the
j iivliest interest and appreiien
! -ion. It imposses upon C’on
j gress and the executive the duly
ii anayiiig against this barbdii
ous system ail the power which,
under tlic consldution and iavrs,
they.can wield for its destruction.
Helen lice lias already been
made to the obsticles which the
United Slates officers have to en
counter in their efforts to punish
violations of ihc law. Prominent
among llnse obstacles is the dif
ficulty of procuring legal evi
deuce sufficient to warrant a con
viction, evin in the case of the
most notorious offenders. Your
attention is called to a recent
ouinion of the Supreme Court of
the United States which explians
its judgement of reversal in the
case ot Miles, who had been con
victed ol bigamy m Utah. Jhe
court refers to the fact that the
secrecy attending the celebration
of marriages in that territory
makes the proof of polygamy
very difficult, and the propriety is
suggested ol modifying the law
of evidence which makes a wife
incompetent to testify against
her husband. This suggestion is
appended. 1 recommend also
the passage of an act providing
that in the territories of the Unit
ed States tho fact that a woman
has been married to a person
charged with bigamy shall not
disqualify her as a witness in his
trial for that offense. I further
recommend legislation by which
any person solemnizing a mar
riage in any of the territories,
shall not required under stringenl
penalties for a neglect and rein
sal to file a certificate of such
marriages in the supreme court
of the territory. Doubtless Con
gross may desire other nruclica
ble measures for obviating the
difficulties which have hitherto
attended the efforts to suppress
this iniquity. I assure you ol
my determined purpose to co-op
erate with you in any lawful and
discrete measures which may be
proposed to that end.
