archy, and that thread is President
Arthur. We say slender thread, fol-
the experience of the past has shown
how slender was the thread upon which
the hopes of the Nation hung. The
bullet of Guiteau cut that thread. GOO
forbid that there should be other Gull
teaus and other bullets with such mur'
derous intent, and yet there may be-
Were President Arthur's fate to be tha,
of his illustrious predecessor, the Ma
tion would be upon the verge Of anarchy
and Mexicanization, for there would be
none in the line of the Presidency I,
succeed him, and the one who would
assume to take the reins Of the Govern
ment into his hands, whether it be
Cabinet officer or Chief Justice OF the
Supreme Court of the United States,
might be looked upon as usurper OF
authority whom none were bound 80
obey or even respect.
Under these circumstances 1t is clear.
y amongst the first official duties OF
President Arthur to convene Congress
in special session Immediately that the
regular succession in the line OF the
Presidency may be fully and firmly
established 1t Is true that by tie
change effected by the designations OF
Senators Conkling and Platt and the
death of Senator Burnside, the Senate
will have n Democratic majority OF
three with which to open the session,
but that makes no difference, the line OF
the sue ccession to the Presidency should
be established even If the line should
fall to Democrat.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Democrats will be disposed oproiit and
ride into power through the aid afforded
by Guiteau's bullet. The people elected
James A. Garfield, a Republican, Presi-
dent of the United States, and they at
tie same time said by their totes that
should anything happen TO the Presi-
dent that Chester A. Arthur should
succeed to the Presidency. This con-
tingency has occurred and Chester A.
Arthur is President. As to who should
be his successor the people have had no
chance to say farther than that until
ths Fourth of March, 1884, there should
be Republican President. The posi-.
ton belongs of right to the Republi-
cans, and there are many good rea-
Sons wig tie position should be filled
by Republican. 1t remains now to
be seen whether the Democrats, when
the Senate meets either in extra or
genera session, will be able to rise to
that sublime height Of magnanimity,
demanded by the situation and for once
TO forego at the call OF patriotism the
chance of gaining an advantage for
their party. Such an act would do
more to elevate the Democracy in char
acter and liberality in the minds OF the
people than any advantage taken of the
results Of the assassin's bullet.

Killing Cattle.

The abattoirs in the rear Of the stock
yards in Jersey City, n. j., are interest
ing to persons who do not mind the
sight of blood. Farmers, who are &c
customed 10 think the killing Of bul.
lock days work, are always astonished
at tho celebrity Of the work in the abat.
toirs. The cattle are driven into pens
of iron railings, extending through tho
center Of the building. while the butch.
crs have large open space alongside in
which to work. A rope is fastened
around the hind leg Of an animal, and a
man at windlazs draws the bullock out
of tho pen aud hoists him into the air.
4 practiccd hand and keen knife soon
do their work, and the creature bleeds
copiously into the vessels set TO catch
the blood. They die With scarcely a
struggle. One Is struck by tho silence
with which tho work is done. "a sheep

Occasionally a lot is too wild to be easily

Two dressers," eight "helpers," two
"hide-droppers" and one "hoister"
will kill and dress eighty bullocks be-
tween 0 and half-past o'clock. The

ers, is showed back out Of the way Of
the butchers rs fast as dressed. The
blood is saved for fertilizing or for re-.
fining sugar; the lat goes to make oleo-
margarine, the hoofs arc sent to o glue
factory, the hides seek the tanners, the
tongues are picked by New York firm,
and the horns, which have tho longest
period of usefulness, are made into vari.
ous articles. Very little is allowed 10

The Paper World says that few per-
sons have an adequate conception Of
the magnitude and importance of the
rag trade in this country. Rags seem
to be so cheap and insignificant COM
modify that it is surprising to learn
that, with the exception of the staple
products of the West, they are more
largely transported by the railroads than
any other article of merchandise. at
Chicago the Michigan Central railroad
has erected a special building for this
kind of freight, aud it is estimated that
not less than one hundred carloads of
rags leave and enter. Chicago daily. A
good idea of the extent Of the trade was
recently given q Chicago Tribune re-
porter by n Wholesale rag dealer. Said
the latter: "There are fifty millions of
people in the United States, and il is
safe TO presume that every one Of them
discards on an average, of five pounds
of clothing every year. That gives us
$50, 100000 pounds of rags to start
with. Then there are the tailoring
establishments, big and little, whose
cuttings are not much less in quantity
in the aggregate than the cAst-off clothes
of the nation at large, while their quail.
ity, as rags, il greatly superior. Then
there are the carpets, aud bedding. and
curtains, and other domestic articles Of
cloth OF some kind. which make mp
goodly bulk in the course Of a year
These different articles combined make
mp another two hundred and fifty mil
lion pounds of cloth material which hSs
been discarded from usts and which
eventually finds It's way into the rag
