Prosecuted EQ ufnes.

Reliable information has been recsiv-
ed that the horses working near the
bone mill are treated with great
cruelty; the mud is deep and matted to
paste, and it is almost impossible for
the horses to walk through it. On one
occasion one horse was hitched to q
log too heavy for him to haul on dry
ground, he soon fell and stuck in the
mud and was then fearfully beaten.
Our informant says they have never
before saw such inhuman treatment.
Crowds visit the place but no word is
ever spoken to shield the helpless crea-
lures from the cruel whip welded by
strong and wicked hands. If the treat
ment is not instantly bsttered witnesses
will be on the ground and arrests
promptly made and heavy fines ensue.
How long are we to wait for the minis
ters of the gospel to take up the subject
and preach from the pulpit the great
and saving power of kindness to ami
mails and that no one can be true
Christian who is not merciful to the
helpless creatures around them. A
noted Presbyterian Divine remarked in
a recent sermon that il that reforma-
ton was left to the outside world the
church would lose one of the brightest
jewels iu its crown. Z. W.

The Indian Troubles

The New York Observer says; ''There
are some incidental and inherent ques-
tions that need to be more fully discnss-
ed, not in the public papers, not pri-
marily in the halls of legislation, but
calmly and orally, in the presence OF
each other, by men of different views,
who are all Interested in having wrongs
rghted, justice established, and the
interests of humanity promoted among
red men and white men alike. One
great question occupies many minds
at the present time-whether come way
cannot be DEVISED by which the anoma-
lous state of the Indians as individuals
and tribes may be equitably changed to
one of citizenship. We have within
our own bounds score or more of tribes
with whom we treat in many respects
as with foreign nations; who are not
dealt with according TO our own laws;
or protected by our laws, as our own
citizens; but with whom II is impossi-
BILE to maintain such relations as we
have with other foreign powers. This is
one of many questions connected with
the subject which imperatively call for
careful consid deration by the best and
wissst men Of the country"

On wednesday afternoon one OF the

The gentleman having the animal in
charge told the bartender to give the

ed out and given to him.It was swallow
ed by the festive equine, who appeared
to be- entirely satisfied, turned about and
suffered himself to be led back to the

AT THE POLICE COURT.
Arrestfnk o Blind Man-An Agra
waited AAaanlf.

Colonel MoClaue ushered the first
prisoner in the dock last evening. He
was ill-clad, rheumatic and blind
"Your Honor" said he, 81 am trying
to make an honest livelihood. | started
to sell pencils and pens to-day on your
street corner, when a policeman cams
along and catching me by the neck,
hustled me into the gutter"
"You may CO." said His Honor, and
the kind-hearted Colonel, with a tear
in his eye, led the unfortunate man
back to his cell and prepared for him
the softest spot in the most cheerful
corner in those gloomy corridors.
The next man wasn't handled quite
as tenderly, his name was Christopher
Whittick, he had been found down in
the lower end Of the town drunk, yes,
30 drunk that he was messenger, ticket
agent, door tender, and a whole COM
pound circus entertainment all to him
self. The amusement that the boys Of
that neighborhood had with him was
unlimited. % and costs was the pen
atty. Being inoorrigible the Colonel
trotted him back and jamme1 him in
the furthermost cell.
The next individual was Philip Mey-
er on the charge of intent to kill Adam
Hans, a saloon keeper at 6lS West
Front street. The plaintiffs head was
patched up with layers of court plaster
where the defendant had hit him with
twenty pound stone, and his fingers
was badly wounded where he had been
cut by a pen-knifs. The row began
over a glass of beer on Saturday last.
The defendant insisted that Meyer beat
him with a pick handle. The plaintiff
denied it and for few minutes crimi.
nation and re-crimination followed.
The Mayor didn't think that there was
sufficient evidence to sustain charge
with intent to kill. 1t being an aggra-
waited assault he fined Myer $40 and
costs and held him in 5000 to keep the
peace.
