farmer, aged about 81, "to get

"For sore eyes!' repeated the
court.
IL didn't know exactly what
1 wanted, and l asked a man
who drove a hack what he used.
He said he had soarize, he'getd
about three drinks of brandy
down him as soon as possible, in
order to keep the disease from
going to his brain"
"And then?"
"Chen | asked a man who was
selling cement what he'd do, and
he had soarize he'd swallow five
or six glasses Of lager Quicker'n
wink, as there was danger of be

"Well."
Well, I asked a shoemaker
what he'd do, and he said if he
had soarize he'd swallow two
bottles of champagne, take in
all the free lunch saloons, beat a
tailor out Of good suit of
clothes, and then hold his head
over night in gallon Of butter

"Continue your affecting mar

He expected to be fined at

soft voice:
"Mr. Fox, this country de-
pends upon it's agricultural re-

We Published, short time since,
a+manifesto OF Mr.. Bergh. of New
York, against a bull bait that had
taken place in San Francisco, which
he pronounced one of the most afro
cious scenes that had yet disgraced
American civilization. In justice to
our San Francisco neighbors we in
sert the following rejoinder from the
Call of that city:
Mr.. Bergh is not close reader Of
the San Frrncisco news. If he had
been he might properly withheld
the manifesto he sends abroad In
the dispatches. The San Francisco
Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals is quite as alert as any
of the organizations under his i'm
mediate supervision. The case of
brutality to which he alludes. in the
bull fight. did not escape its obser-
vation. No less than nine warrants
of arrest we're issued for the parties
engaged in it, three of whom, in
Guiding the man who thrust his
finger into the bulls eye, were taken
in by the police, and will undergo
punishment for the offences. The
eye-gouger was fined 800 yester-
day. The others are being looked
after. and will not be likely to get
up q similar entertainment in the
future. The particulars of the affair
were not nearly so bad as Mr.. Bergh
believed them to be, hut sufficient to
meet with that condemnation which
they so promptly received. No need
of Mr.. Bergh extending his censure
or his sympathies in this direction.
Our people can get on very we'll
without either.
