order to insure success two points must be at
tended to-first, and most Important. the glass
must be kept quite level In the water while the
scissors are apphed; and, secondly, to avoid
risk, it is better to begin the cutting by taking
off small pieces at the corners and along the
edges, and so reduce the shape gradually to

the glass all at once to the shape as we would

yesterday that q theft had been made Of

was exaggerated, but some regalias

are present in force proportionate to

The Export Cattle Trade.

A meeting OF all those interested in
Chicago, as the great cattle market OF
the world, was called last Saturday, at
tho Union stock yards, Chicago, "to
consult upon the best methods of pro.
tecting the market against the diseased
cattle, and TO restore the confidence Of
English buyers by establishing the fact
that no pleuro pneumonia exists in this
country, and that no disease is known
that is contagious or can be taken by
other cattle from our northern raised
cattle, or cattle matured for the Eng
lish trade.
Promptly at 4 O'Clock the Hon. s. r.
Hopkins, called the meeting to order by
nominating Moore Conger for chair
man, who in turn recommended that
John B. Daley be made secretary, all
Of which was cheerfully dono by the
meeting. After considerable discus
sion the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, Tho English people have
become our most extensive customers
for live cattle and for beef, pork and
mutton; and
WHEREAS, They have suffered severe
loss for their freedom in importations
of live cattle from the continent in the
past; and
WHEREAS, Untruthful reports, based
on the opinions of ignorant and ire
sponsible persons, have gone forth to
the world of disease among cattle arriv-
ing and departing from this great mar
ket, thereby depressing the market Mt
home and frightening our friends rs
purchasers abroad; therefore,
Resolred, That we, the representa-
tives OF the producers, prayerfully ask
of the Hon. S. NJ. Cullom, the governor
of the state Of Illinois, such action rs
may lie within his power, TO cause laws
to be executed to the extent OF appoint
| ing state inspector ut the Union stock
yards Mt Chicago, that he may certify
to tho condition of stock arriving and
departing; one fitted by education as a
scientist and veterinary for such posi-
tion, thereby giving confidence to all
purchasers on our market, from n
scientific standpoint. We think this
great market and the great interests in-
| yolyed demand such action.
RESOLVED, That 1t is our belief that
tho health and condition Of live stock
arriving and departing from this mar
ket was never known TO be better, such
being the testimony Of the oldest and
most experienced traders. But, in order
TO satisfy all differences OF opinion on
the production Of cattle disease, we
recommend that the Union stock yards
provide special pens, in a separate stock
yards division, for the accommodation
OF all Texas cattle that arrive here from
whatever quarter; that all such cattle
be absolutely isolated from native
stock.
The resolutions were adopted, and the
chairman authorized to see that Gov.
Cullom have copy Of the same, signed
by the officers Of the meeting. =,
