Cruelty to Animals.
The cruelty of man him to the animals food, that
labor for him, afford pleasure,
and the materials for his clothing, is of
ten such as to render it questionable,
which is, after all, the inferior beast,
The establishment of humane societies
in different States, cities and towns,
however, is a step toward the protection
of dumb animals from human barbarity,
The shame is, that these are at all neces
sary in this boasted century of religious
teaching and general intelligence. It is
a fact, however, that the invocation of
stern law is yet needed to bring many a
human tiger to a sense of what is due
even to the brutes he s daughters. That The
most flagrant outrage we have to
note in this direction, is afforded at the
stock-yards, near this city. It is the
practice of those whose business it is to
kill the cattle at the slaughter houses, to
spear them with a knife in the neck, just
back of tlie horns. It has been discov
ered by tho officers of the humane so
ciety that when the animals are restless
and seek to evade the knife, the mad
dened butchers pierce the eyes of the
victims that they may not see the ap
proach of the death-dealing knife. Ar
rests of these inhuman monsters are Be
iug made, and the proprietors of the
packing houses, to their credit be it said,
are seconding the society in its efforts to
put a stop to the horrid practice. Farm
ers, and farmers’ boys and hired help,
who shudder at the facts here presented,
you not guilty of a measure of cru
elty, unconsciously, perhaps, tow ard
your work team, your cows, and other
domestic animals, that you may, as well
as not, avoid ? Kindness and gentlener s
toward the lower animals, not only en
noble the master, but they pay in dollars
and cents, as well.— Prairie Farmer.
Since the “removal” of Jesse James
Missouri seems to be satisfied. How
about the rest of the gang ? or does re¬
moving Jesse vindicate justice? Why
do the authorities regard the probable
presence of Frank James in a communi¬
„ ty with
a profound sense of awe ? And
is there no effort mad© even to
discover his whereabouts ? or is the
State taking a breathing spell to begin
again as soon as it can recover from
the late conflict ?
Messrs. Vanderbilt and Field may
regard their escape from destruction by
dynamite as a most narrow one. Had
not one of the machines been accident¬
ally exploded by the jar of the car, be¬
fore reaching their destination, there is
no question but that they would have
accomplished the purpose for which
they were intended, during the process
of opening them. Furthermore, that
their senders were Nihilists there does
not seem to be a particle of doubt.
A St. Louis dog, recently deceased,
was a property holder. His estate con
sisted of a house aud lot left to him by
deceased master. There was a Lus
hpenriri" paying“tonire ion -
food, lodging, aud attendance. He
was a handsome spaniel, and was not
made vain by his wealth, but associated
with common dogs. At his death, a few
days ago, the trustee had him buried ia
a costly coffin, a hearse conveying the
remains quite ceremoniously to the fam¬
ily cemetery.
The almost simultaneous death of
Adams and Jefferson seemed scarcely
more remarkable to their contemporaries
than is the closeness in time between
the funerals of the two authors who
have most contributed to the literary
fame of the United States during the last
half century—Emerson and Longfellow.
And, looking across the water, the near¬
ness between the deaths of Darwin and
Emerson reminds us that each was in
his way a founder of a school of thought,
aud that by this joint bereavement both
England and America lose tkeii recog¬
nized intellectual leaders.
A morbid citizen of St. Louis, afflicted
with an ardent desire to possess the two
horses which lately belonged to Jesse
James, has been the victim of a rather
mean but amusing joke. Somebody,
who knew his wish, shipped to him a
couple of worn-out street-car horses, for
which he cheerfully paid a fancy price.
The poor beasts, in the course of their
arduous lives, had encountered more
than tlieir full share of the sling and
arrows oi outrageous iortune, ana were
in a sorry condition when they reached
St. Louis. But they were beautiful in
the eyes of their owner, and he exulted
exceedingly over his purchase until some
sympathetic friend informed, him that he
had made a fool of himself.

The Chicago Tribune relates how Ni¬

tric apparatus. It says

steam-power iu Chicago and all the rest of
Cook County—a force control equal to that of 12,000,
000 men. The of this prodigious
power having been obtained, it is pro¬
posed to erect immense buildings and ponder¬
ous machinery upon the brink of the falls,
where the water can be easily reached, “to be
returned after use.” After generating the
electricity by this unlimited hydraulic force, it
is to be conducted through properly insulated
cases to sixty-five prominent American cities
and towns for illuminating purposes, and is
also to be used for operating machinery and
ultimately for heating purposes. Altogether
there will be ten thousand miles of copper
cables with machinery to correspond.
The Cincinnati Board of Health doe*
not seem to be accomplishing much.
Under its management there has been
almost a steady increase of smallpox for
the past four months until the number
of new cases now reach in the neighbor¬
hood of 300 a week. This is somewhat
alarming. That the infection has turned
several million dollars worth of trade
over to other cities less unfortunate

■Woman’s Dress.
“Many a plain, quiet little womauA
says the New York Herald, “is utterly
tired of the ceaseless labor of trying to
make as effective an appearance as her
richer, handsomer acquaintance. But
what would her husband say?” He
would say, if a sensible man, that she
was a sensible woman to dress according
to her means. If not a sensible woman,
it is of no consequence what he would
say. There is an everlasting drift of
nonsense about the dress of women, such
as the Herald encourages by its silly
and simpering remarks on the subject of
women’s dress.
It is possible for a woman of good
taste . , to , make , , herself .. not only , present- .
able, but attractive m calico at five cents
a yard. It is the art of knowing how to
dress, rather than the costliness of the
material used in dressing, that tens.
There is a vulgar notion abroad that a
woman is not dressed unless she is
loaded down with the costliest of fabrics
and jewels to correspond, yet we have
seen women in the plainest of dresses so
admirably corresponding to their com
plexion and figure that they outshine
the more elaborately dressed women in a
society gathering. What is needed is
good taste in the selection and make up
of material, and even then we are in
dined to adopt Dr. Johnson’s idea that
the woman whose conversation is so
charming as to make one forget how she
is dressed is the best dressed woman in
any assembly where a display of fine
clothes is thought to be the chief point
of interest .—Cincinnati Commercial.
The Encore Nuisance.
We have cried out again the encore
nuisance until many friends regard it as
a hobby of ours, but even that will not
prevent us from voicing the sentiment
of all sensible people. It is time that
the newspapers took up the cudgel in
the name of sense and decency, and
protested against the practice and of encor
ing everything all upon performances any whatso- every
stage, and_ It is for fearful strain the

and, at the instance of a riotous mob of
gallery gods and enthusiastic flats, have
the poor, gory remains re-endowed with
life and come smirking and smiling out
j before the curtain. Applause is all very
i well, and no one enjoys and appreciates
it so much as an actor; but to be called
from the grave to bow and smirk isn’t
just the thing. Where the curtain can
be raised and a tableau presented just as
the actors were last seen, it is well
enough; but, for the sake of people with
sensibilities, let there be no resurrection
of the dead for these purposes. A call
for a singer, or some fine little speech is
tolerable, if not too much overdone; but
repeated demands and importunities
from these dramatic body-snatchers are as
disgusting as they ore wearisome.— durf,
Field and. Farm.
They had been engaged he to be married
fifteen years, and still had not mus
tered up resolution enough to ask her to
name the happy day. One evening he
called in a asked particularly spoony frame of

down at the piano and sang, “Darling,
I am growing old.”
He Never Smiles.
The English waiter never smiles, or, if
he does, nobody ever catches him at it.
While on the City of Rome Rufus Hatch
wagered $10 that he would bring a smile
to the face o Ithe waiter at his table be¬
fore the steamer sighted the Irish coast.
He lost. Between Queenstown and Liv¬
erpool he offered the waiter two sover¬
eigns if he would shave off his chin
whiskers. There was no indication that
the man gave the offer the slightest
consideration; yet, when the next meo.
was served, he appeared pocketed with mutton -
chop whiskers and his two
sovereigns, saying, “Thank you, sir,”
with a face as grave as an owl.— Prog

Agriculture in Arizona.
Yuma and Mohave counties embrace
the great Colorado Valley, which con¬
tains thousands of acres of the richest
soil in the United States. Owing to its
pearly overflow, the valley is covered
with a coating of vegetable mold, which
constantly enriches the soil. Vegetation
is very rapid in this valley. Weeds,
grasses, and wild hemp attain an amaz
ing height in. a few- weeks after the w'ater
has receded. In fact, everything grows from
in tropical luxuriance. If kept
overflow no better soil for cotton, sugar,
tie nap, and semi-tropical fruits is found
on the continent. In some places the
bluffs come down to the stream, and to
other points the valley is from one to
live miles wide. Below Ehrenberg the
area of the valley land is much greater
than above. To bring the waters of the
Colorado by canals over its rich valley,
and x prevent the river from overflowing,

total number of acres under cultivation
in the county is about 2,500. The valley
of the Colorado, in Mohave County, pre¬
sents the same features as in Yuma, but
is not so extensive. The soil is equally
as rich and productive, but it requires
capital to open canals, throw up embank¬
ments, and put the land in a condition
for successful cultivation. At present
farming in Mohave is confined to the
Big Sandy, in the Southern part of the
county, where there are about 1,000 acres
under cultivation, producing fine crops
of grain, vegetables, and fruit. Suc¬
cessful farming in Arizona depends en¬
tirely on irrigation. No finer crops are
raised in any country than in this Terri¬
tory, where water can be had. There
are thousands of acres of productive
land in the leading valleys, which can be
made available by a proper distribution
of the present water supply. While the
wealth of Arizona is in its mines, agri¬
culture will always be a profitable call¬
ing, and the products of the soil com¬
mand a good price .—Resources of Ari¬

Sawdust in Rivers.
The marked disadvantages of sawdust
in rivers, as an obstruction to navigation,
are United" beyond question. A competent
States engineer says the dele¬
terious effects of depositing sawdust in
the Mississippi by the Minneapolis saw¬ ob¬
mills are evident to the most casual
server, and is perceptible as far down the
river as Lake Pepin. A veteran steam
boater says that a bar formed of saw¬
dust and sand is worse than one of sand
alone, as the latter will wash out, bufc
nothing except dredging will remove the
sawdust.
