From the Ms,Topolifsn Record - .
There is q certain place in the city of New
York which Is known IS The Bulls Head. Il is
the great cattle market Of the oity, and thou
sands and thousands Of The bovine species are
disposed Of in it every weak for Chs shAnblss Of
the great metropolis. Since l6r. Lincoln has
thrown open his slaughter psns, otilsr and dil-
fsTent kinds Of nzrksts have sssn established
IN New York, IA which not cattle but human
beings, aTe bought and sold.
These Gre the men markets of New York and
tbs dealers in white flesh are, il eppssTs, doing
thriving business. Posters HEe plac&gdsd il

thus held ous Is productive Of the WoEs. eonss-

CASES Of this kind, and the friends Of the de-

apparent TO leave oven chance foT q doubt.
Every sTtitieo is resoTted to By these msn-deal-
