A KUKLUx OUTRAaE.-A horrible
outrage was committed somewhere in the
State of Alabama few days ago. Our
informant is a reliable colored man, who
heard the particulars from a member of
the Loyal League, who got, ,his information
from fellow who lost cousin in the late
war. 1t seemed that Mr.. Carpet Bag
ger was attacked in his own house by
1882 Kukluxcs, armed with double bar
relied bowie knives. They slaughtered
and ate ninteen of Mr.. Bagger's children
before his eyes, and compelled Mrs. Bag.
ger to cut her own head off and hang it
on hook in tho cellar. She was then
ordered TO keep still upon pain of instant
death. She happened to sneeze, and the
leader of the dastardly crew Immediately
had threshing machine set up. and
run Mrs. Baggcr through. It's very
doubtful if she RECEIVERS. Mr.. Bagger
was then forced to swallow four tons of
gunpowdcr aud handful of nitro-glyce.

HOW 4 PECK OF CORN MEAL IN
TAXED.

The Gallipolis Dispateh, in answer to
the charge that because a man is poor he
cannot be taxed, thus shows how even a
peck of meal, purchased by a poor man
to aid in feeding his family of little child
rcn, is taxed, to aid in paying tho inter.
est on the untaxed bonds. Says the Dis.
patch:
"The corn from which that peek Of
meal was made was raised on taxed land,
pIowed by taxed plow, drawn by taxed
horses, hItched with taxed gears. IL was
hoed with taxed hoe, cultivated with
taxed implements, gathered with taxed
wagon, drawn with taxed horses, thrown
into taxed crib. shelled on taxed ma.
chine, measured in taxed measure, IA.
ken in taxed sack and ground on 4
taxed mill, siesed wilh taxed sieve, mixed
in taxed pan, stirred with taxed spoon,
salied with taxed salt, put into taxed
bake pan, baked in a taxed stove, laid out
on taxed plate, cut with a taxed knife,
and lastly eaten by a pretty heavily taxed
man. Ii it were not for the taxes you
could buy bushel of meal for what that
peck est you. Besides, it is not on tina,
alone that you are taxed, but upon every.
thing you have to buy. A pound of su.
gar costs only three or four cents, but
you have to pay from sixteen to twenty,
A pound of coffee only costs ten cents,
but you have to pay thirty, and if it costs
you three hundred dollars year TO sup.
port your family. you may safely say ono
half of this is tax. Now, is it any wonder
that times are hard and that you find il
difficult to live z"

in the arms OF gentlemen and tainted. -
Great numbers rushed for the doors, and
the great wonder il that q number were
not seriously injured. Many Mdies and
gentlemen were so frightened that they
could not be induced to enter house
again during the night, but remained
walking the street till daylight.

WEIGHror CATTLE BY MEAsuREMiRNr.

WEIGHT OF CATTLE By MEAsUREMRNT..
Many experiments have been made by
grazers and dealers in cattle to ascertain
che net weight of cattle by measurement
Rules have been given and tables con.
structed of the results obtained. At best,
these are but approximations, and the
measure of correctness will depend much :
upon a practical acquaintance with the
form and prominent points OF the animals
to be measured. Something win depend,
too, on the breed, size, mode'of htteniES,
the time the process has been aoinE on,
and the character of the feed supplied
The following method comes as nsxf .
correct result as any known:
Measure carefully with tapElfne AfoAE
the top of the shoulder to where the tail
is attached to the back; this will give the
length. For the girth, measure immedi-
ately behind the shoulders and fore.legs.
Multiply half the girth by itself in feet,
then multiply this product by the length,
and the product will give the net weight
in stones of eight pounds. Forexample E
with an OK or COW feet in length and 7
feet in girth, the calculation will bc -
follows:
Multiply half the girth by itself in foet...... ss
l2.3se
Multiply by length in feet..... ............... -
Weight in stones.............. ............cl.21
This multiplied by eight, the poundsin
stone, or rather half stone, and thc
result will be 400 pounds net.-RuraI

After a few remarks by Mr. Seymour, Gen.
Clinton B. Fisk was called upon and he re-
sponded in his usually happy manner, for
the Merchants Exchange. Portions of the
Generals remarks were exceedingly humor-
Gus, and in their midst three cheers and a
''tiger" were brought out,as if by common
impulse, and he took his seat among roars
of laughter and applause This was the
happiest effort of the evening.

Mr. SEaD and Ladies and Gentlemen. Pope, the
poet tells us ian honest mans the noblest work
or God and while realizing this truth as regards
your character we also feel that the tasteful man,
the munifcent man, such as you have proved
yourself must be added 70 the proud title that you
have SO justly earned. While gazing around on
side in Overwhelming profusion, and at the cle-
CANT walks and shrubbery, inviting the eye at ev-
ery turn we are impressed with the glorious truth
that a triumph OF philosophy, art and science Is
here presented, beneficial to yonr kind, and inn

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
President Seymour called upon James
Ross, of Madison, to give the toast of the
Board of Trade.
Mr. Ross, in responding, begged that the
company would be as silent as possible, while
he endeavored to do justice to the munifi-
cence and qualities of the institution he
had the honor to speak for. Boards of Trade
were not new institutions. They had exis
ted long ago, and were the first, as they
were the best agencies employed by an en-
lightened commerce. Civilization had no
more potent aid in propogating its opera
tions than Boards of Trade, and their bene-
fetal and sustaining influence was not only
felt in the rough and material world, but in
the realms of literature, art and science. He
honored Boards of Trade. He had read their
history, and their revolutionizing mission of
peace and good will was sweet to his soul
1t was fitting that such welcome as this
grand and overlooking one, should be given
by the Chicago Board of Trade, which was
prominent among the commercial bodies of
America, as also among those of the proud
marts of the world No city in the country
had been more fortunate than Chicago in its
Board of Trade, and much of the prosperity
of the city was owing to the liberal ideas
and energetic enterprise of its members.
In conclusion, he felt proud in acknowl-
edging the consideration of the Chicago
Board of Trade, in STOPPING to acknowledge
the arrival of set of poor editors, whose
hearts had been warmed by numberless
courtesies, and every one of whom felt that
the Board did this from no mercenary
motive, but as a worthy compliment to the
Press, its most reliable and necessary ally
who, with Boards of Trade, was destined tC
secure the advancement of communities anC
harnonize the interests of the struggling
millions on this rolling sphere.
