ViYiSectiOn.

The first prosecution under the Vivi-
section act took place in the English
courts late in September. DR.. Abrath,
of Sunderland, issued placard headed
"The BALKAN Mystery" announcing a
lecture on Antimony," at which he
would perform experiments on animals
to illustrate the effects of poisons, and
to demonstrate his theory that Mr.. Bravo
was not killed by that drug. The Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals Immediately interfered, and the
lecturer was fined l shilling merely for
publishing the placard.

Eminent Dead.Head.

The most distinguished dead-head on
the books of the London Daily Te1e-
graph is the Queen and Empress,
Victoria. 6 When Prince Albert died,
an editorial in the Telegraph SO graft
fed the Queen that she ordered copy
of the paper to be sent daily to each of
the royal palaces. Ever since then, a
royal edition of twenty-five copies has
been daily printed in the highest style
of TIE art and duly forwarded. No pay
ment has ever been asked or offered"

Cruelty to Animals.

The New York Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals seems to

loaded and the loads reduced; 1,450 dis
abled horses were stopped in the streets
and sent to their stables; 249 worn-out
animals were killed, and rs sick horses
sent to the hospital. Last, though not
least, 215 convictions were obtained

occurred at Lima, Peru, last month,

our own Pacific railways, was married
to Alexander Robertson, a member OF 2
leading mercantile house at Lima The
wedding was q brilliant affair. More
than 400 gentlemen were assembled, the
onlv ladies present being the intimate

WITH the opening English market for
our choicest beeves, and with the best
herds of scalawags from Texas, Arkan-
sas., and Colorado which feed the
million with poor and cheap beef, there
is no profit in raising any but the best
steers. Corn is plenty, and to save it
from being swallowed in railroad
freight, feed it to hogs and cattle, lib
orally, but iudiciously.--Des Moanes

QUEEN VICTORIA has just made the
most warlike speech of her life. In
handing new colors to two kneeling Of
ficers Of her First Regiment of Foot
Royal Scots), the Duke of Kent's
daughter said: Gin intrusting these
colors to your charge it gives me great
pleasure to remind you that [ have been
associated with your regiment from in
fancy when my father was your Colonel.
He was proud of his profession, and I was
always taught to consider myself a sol
dier's child. I rejoice in having son
who has devoted his life to the army,
and who, I am confident, will ever prove
worthy of the name of British soldier. "
The Duke of Kent was the fourth son OF
George III.

The Weed.

And now doth the heart of the cigar
smoker anticipate trouble. The Havana
tobacco harvest is the worst for many
years, and what is gathered is OF very
poor quality, and will furnish but few
frst-class cigars. The old stock having
run out, many manufacturers have had
to suspend for want of the leaf, and the
prospect is a rise in the price of the
soothing weed, which will necessitate
less smoke or more money.

A WIFE VOTES TO HANG HER HUSBAND.
IL was stated In yesterdays issue that the
negro who committed the rape on the little
white girl near Jefferson, 8. c., had been
caught near the Anson county line and
taken TO South Carolina. We learn o-day
mat when lhe party who had him In charge
arrived In Jefferson, party of three or four
hundred, including both colored aud whites,
collected, and the question OF hanging him
on the spot where the rape was committed
was discussed: 1t was finally decided to
seILe the matter by vote. A line was
drawn, and ali were IN favor of hanging
were requested to stand On one side of it.
Every person in the crowd, including the
wife of the negro, came over except one.
Wien Informed Of his fate ne confessed the
crime, telling the same story as that given
by the little girl, without having heard her
report OF IT. He was then taken To q tree near
by and hung until he was dead. From ell
that we can hear there was 10 undue In
nuence brought to bear upon the crowd to
excite their feelings Of revenge, but that
ihelr action throughout was that OF men
determined that crime In its vilest form
shonld receive Its reward, and that speedily.
