The act TO prevent cruelty to animals while
in transit from one state to another, which has
passed in the house of representatives, at Wash
ington, is as follows;
BE it enacted, etc., That no railroad company
within the United States whose road forms any
part of n line of road over which cattle, sheep,
swine, or other animals shall be conveyed from
one state to another, or the owners or masters of
steam, sailing, or other vessels carrying or
transporting cattle, sheep, swine, or other ami
mails from one state to another, shall contine the
same in cars, boats, or vessels of any descTip-
ton for longer period than twenty-eight con-
secutive hours without unloading the same for
rest, water, and feeding, for period of at least
five consecutive hours, unless prevented from so
unloading by storm or other accidental causes.
In estimating such confinement, the time during
which the animals have been confined without
such rest on connecting roads from which they
are received shall be included, it being the intent
of this act 10 prohibit their continuous coniine-
ment beyond the period of twenty-eight
hours, except upon contingencies hercinbefore
stated Animals so unloaded shall be properly
fed and watered during such rest by the owner
or person having the custody thereof, or in case
of his default in so doing, then by the railroad
company or owners or masters of boats or YES
sells transporting the same, at the expense of
said owner or person in custody thereof; and
said company, owners, or masters shall in such
care, and custody furnished, and shall not be
liable for any detention of such animals author
lied by this act. Any company, owner, or Gus
todian of such animals who shall fail to COM
ply with the provisions of this act shall, for
each and every such offence be liable for and
forfeit and pay penalty OF not less than 500
nor more than $500: Provided, however, that
when animals shall be carried in cars, boats, or
other vessels in which they can and do have
proper food, water, space, and opportunity for
rest, the foregoing provisions in regard to their
being unloaded shall not apply.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, that the
peualty created by the first section of this act
shall be recovered by an Indictment in the cir
cult or district court of the United States hold
en- within the district where the offence may
have been committed, and it shall be the duty
of all United States'marshals, their deputies and
subordinates, to prosecute all violations of this
act which shall come to their notice or knowl-
edge.
SEC. 3.-And be it further enacted, that any
person or corporation entitled to lien under the
first section of this act, may enforce the same
by petition filed in the district court of the
United States, holden within the district where
the food, care and custody shall have been fur
nished, or the towner or custodian of the prop
erty resides. And said court shall have power

transportation OF Animals.

We print, in another place, the bill concern
ing the transportation of animals, which has
passed in the house of representatives, at Wash
ington. There is no doubt that it will pass in
the senate and become a law. Some congress.
sional enactment OF this kind is necessary. The
transportation Of cattle from the west and
southwest to the eastern cities has become a
vast business, and sanitary reasons, if no other,
should secure such legislation as that now pro-
posed by the house committee on agriculture,
from which this bill was reported.
Ii is well known to those Who have investi.
gated the matter, that cattle are often treated
barbarously, while in transit, being crowded
into unsuitable cars, and kept confined in these
cars four or five days. sometimes, without proper
food and drink. 1t is well known that cattle die
on the trains, in consequence of this treatment,
while Others become weak, emaciated, and dis
eased. The condition of many of the cattle
that reach Brighton, in this way, if faithfully
described to the public, on the arrival of each
train, would startle many people who make use
of beef from the Brighton market. The cattle
arrive at Philadelphia New York, and other
cities, in a condition equally deplorable, and the
evil is so great that it engages general attention;
but the drovers will continue to load and trans
port their cattle in this way, until restrained by
law.
Laws to prevent this evil and regulate the
transportation, have been enacted in Massachu-
setts Illinois, and several other states; but the
matter is beyond the control of state legislation
What can any law of Massachusetts do to regu-
late the transportation OF animals loaded on a
train of cars in Kansas, Iowa, Kentucky, or Hi
nois, and carried across the country to Worces-
ter and Brighton? Something more than state
authority is needed in this case. There must be
Therefore, most people will be gratiied to know
that the matter has been taken in hand by con-
gress.
The objections raised against the bill, in the
house, were all very trivial, save one, and that
was surprising. Mr.. Eldridge, of Wisconsin,
urged that the bill was Unconstitutional" He
belongs to the school which SO long substituted
"the resolutions of '9s" for the national consti-
tuition, and can not readily remember what the
genuine constitution says. That document
makes nothing more absolutely certain than the
authority of congress "to regulate commerce
among the states; and if the transportation of
cattle from Iowa to Massachusetts, for sale, is
not Commerce" it will be difficult to specify
any business transaction whatever, that can be
regarded as commerce. The two Maryland gem
tlemen who opposed the bill, were shrewd
enough to avoid the very notable argument
used by Mr.. Eldridge.

How TO CURE DRUNKENNEss.-It is gener-
ally understood that young persons, when first
employed as pastry cooks are permitted TO sur
felt themselves to their hearts content in pies
and sweetmeats, the result being that in very
short time they become perfectly callous to the
charms Of the counter. We learn from a valua-
bic little book, recently published in London,
called "The Home Nurse" that in the Austrian
army method on a similar principle is adopted
as Il remedy for drunkenness; aud medical re-
ports state that out of 1879 cases 1928 cures of
confirmed drunkards have been effected. The
plan is as follows
The soldier taken in state of intoxicalion,
or purposely inebriated, is confined TO his room,
where his diet is carefully and amply supplied
to him, according to his choice. For drink he
is allowed brandy and water, in the proportion
of one-third brandy TO two-thirds water. All
bis food is prepared in a weak solution OF
brandy and water. Coffee, with small guam
tity of brandy, is allowed him. At first the
treatment throws the patient into a constant
state of intoxication, and he sleeps much. At
the end Of three or four days he takes a dislike
TO his food and drink, and asks for Il change,
which request, were il acceded to, would entire
ly prevent the completion of the cure. On the
contrary, it must now be pcrsevercd in, until
the patient can no longer swallow food or drink,
and even the smell revolts and nauseates the
stomach, when the cure may be considered as
effected,

SWIMMING TWENTY YARDS UNDER THE Ice.
We are called upon to record, says the Leaven-
worth (Kansas) Republican of the 9Th inst,
one of the most marvellous presentations record
ell in the annals of modern history. The skaters
were merry at the bridge on Monday night, as
were they in almost every other locality unvisited
by calamity and skillful skaters glided over the
CLASSY surface, cutting names, initials and
hieroglyphics with their engraving tools. The
more nimble and skilful played ball and cavort-
ed around the clumsy amateurs, who, with half
cracked skulls, blew their fingers and gazed at
the experts All at once an exclamation of
horror traDsfXed every gazer. Amid the crack
ing and breaking of the ice one was observed
struggling for hold on the slippery edges OF
the ice, which broke off in large pieces. His
benumbed fingers loosened their grasp, and the
unfortunate skater was carried by the murder
Gus current out of sight, under the cold and
CLASSY ice. Being an expert swimmer and pos
sessed of great presence of mind, he struck out
vigorously after the manner of a diver. The
fishes gazed at him with their green eyes, and
nibbled his clothes as he swan through the
frigid current, and he, too, imagined that grim
death was gazing at him, but he struggled man.
fully on, nor needed the meddlesome catfish
which swan along beside him, as though they
would question him concerning his severance
with the affairs of the land. He is almost eX-
hausted and he lets down, and his feet strike the
bottom. He has reached shoal. Pressing his
head vigorously against the yielding ice, with
his feet braced below, cracking is heard, and
he gazes along the surface OF the ice. TO come
through lightly was but moments work, and
bid ling his friends the fshes-good bye, he is
conveyed to a fire to dry and warm, having
swan over twenty yards under water.

THE CAT THAT REAsoNED.-On Tuesday
last favorte eat was left in the editors sitting

minutes after we awoke, and family council

matter with the cat. Twas bitter cold night,
and it was decided il the cat could stand 1t we
could-for a while at least. just then the cat
came directly to our bedroom door and with re-
newed and terrific power sent fourth her yowls,
and accompanied by a scratching on the door.
And thereupon our better half declared that she
would rise and see what the cat wanted. She
did so, while we stuck to our bed. Opening the
door she found the stove door wide open, a
quantity Of coal fallen out beneath the stove, the
stove pipe red hot, and the chimney on fire. I'm
mediately on her coming out the cat became
quiet and had nothing more to say. Proper

The Connecticut democrats have met in state
convention, renominated their old ticket made
some speeches, and passed resolutions declaring
substantially that they don't like the republican
administration and don't mean to like it, be-
cause they want all the offices themselves and
think it would aid them, if all the rebels could
be relieved of political disabilities. Perhaps the
most notable circumstance connected with this
annual gathering of the Connect "democra-
cy," is that W. W. Eaton actually made speech
without saying "nigger." The ballot is a won
derful thing. Since the negroes OF Connecticut
became entitled to it, Mr.. Eaton, the most in
corrigible of copperheads, has learned to call

employed in the siege, leaving the rest of the
army at liberty TO carry on operations else
where. Another says that when the danger be-
comes imminent the army will make desperate
sortie which will be so far successful, it is hoped
as to enable Trochu and Fayre to escape through
the German lines. But if this seems impracti-
cable they can at least try balloons Some i'm
portance seems to be attached to the escape of
these self-appointed leaders, but it is hard for
outsiders to conjecture what special benefit
could accrue to France from their escape or
what harm from their capture. No CLEAN of
hope appears for France from any direction ex-
cept in submission. The prospect is daily more
desperate, and further resistance is not heroism
but madness

TESTIMONY OF THE CATAcoMBs.-The cata-

may be of some value aud significance. ~
No cross is found till about A. d. APO. 1t then
begins to appear. Its absence from Christian
graves for four centuries is remarkable, and
furnishes lesson against its improper use in
the latter centuries. ~ The name Christian is

Pagan and Jewish opponents of the Nazarene,
and not appropriated by themselves. (S) The
