Orualfx a. Animals.

The Mayor of Nashville has issued a
proclamation requesting all persons to
cease working, or in any other manner
using, horses affected with the hippo
phalgia, within the corporate limits,
under the pains and penalties of a fine
in accordance with an ordinance passed
by the General Council entitled, Cra-
city to Animals No doubt such an
order prevents, to great extent, the
spread Of the epiglottic catarrh. Our
own authorities should take some action
in the matter, now that the disease has
become an epidemic. The pain and dis
tress Of sickness are not enough to make
some Of the drivers gentle in their treat
ment of the horses; and, besides work
ing them while suffering with the pre-
vailiug malady, they often use the lash
freely, and in some cases, use the club
end of the whip to push the poor, weak,
tottering creature from faltering walk
to stumbling, painful trot Cruelty
to animals calls for some notice at the
hands Of our city fathers just now.

eAAe.

Michael Provenzele, the well-known
barber at the hair.dressing saloon No.
574 Jefferson street, received a letter
from his father in Italy few days since,
in which. among other things, was stated
that he had seen in the journals that the
horse disease, or " Pulmonica Morbusa, "
had appeared in North America; and in
view Of the fact, he sent recipe to his
son, which recipe had been used success
fully in Italy in 1876, when the disease
attacked cattle, and in 1851, when it at
tackled horses, mules and asses. Mr..
Proyen2ele is a veterinary surgeon in
his own country, and knows all about
the disease that now is SO prevalent in
the United States. mike" has the
only sure remedy in his possession, and
will be pleased to give the prescription,
with all necessary directions for its use,
TO those having sick horses. Ii is rem
edy that has been used in Europe sue
cessfully, and Mike has used it in this
city with hattering results on the very
worst cases of Epizootic. We advise the
owners Of sick horses to pay Mike " a

SAVED THROUGH FIRE.
Reflects of the BOSTON Calamity
Exposed iu Memphis.

1t is an old saying that ut is an ill
wind that blows Nobody good " A few
days ago wall went up from the great
city of Boston, and the world stood
amazed at the great conhagration which
at one time threatened to wipe from the
face of the earth the Hub of the Uni-
verse. But fortunately the fire was
qnenched and large amount OF goods
of various descriptions was saved. These
goods, some Of which were only slightly
damaged, were to be sold, of course, at
sacrifice. Lou Leubrie, the enterpris-
ing, wide-awake proprietor of the Elk
position and Dollar Store, saw an oppor-
tunity here Of bene6tting his patrons by
offering them at reduced prices a
large lot of fancy goods, notions,
toys and holiday goods of every variety
and description. With Leubrie, to see is
to act, aud accordingly within only a
few day0 after the great holocaust he
had rented, furnished, fitted and opened
the large and commodious establish
ment, No. 267 Main street, opposite
Court Square, with full and complete
stock of goods saved from the Boston
fire. These articles having been pur-
chased at sacrifice, can very naturally
be sold at prices the most reasonable,
and thus it will be seen that to some ex-
tent the Boston FIRE has benefited Mem
phis by furnishing our people variety
of goods such as they need at much
lower price than they could otherwise
have been had Leubrie's stock Of goods
embraces variety Of articles too hume
rous to mention, all Of which can be
seen at the new store, No. 267 Main
street. 70
