The cruelty of man to the animals that
labor for him, afford him pleasure, food,
and the materials for his clothing, is Of
ten such as to render it questionable.
which Is, after ALL the inferior beast
The establishment of humane societies
IN different States, cities and towns,
however, Is a step toward the protection
of dumb animals from human barbafity.
The shame Is, that these are at all neces-
sary in this boosted century of religious
teaching and general intelligence. It is
a fact, however, that the invocation Of
stern law is yet needed to bring many a
human tiger to sense of what is due
even to the brutes he slaughters. The
most fragrant outrage that we have to
note in this direction. is afforded at the
stock yards, near this city. 1t is the
practice of those whose business it Is to
kill the cattle at the slaughter houses, to
spear them with a knife IN the neck, Just
back of the horns. 1t has been discov-
cred by the officers of the humane So
ciety that when the animals are restless
and seek to evade the knife, the mad
deAed butchers pierce the eyes of the
victims that they may not see the ap-
proach of the death-dealing knife. Ar
rests of these inhuman monsters are be-
ing made, and the proprietors of the
packing houses, to their credit be 1t said
are seconding the society IN its efforts to
put stop to the horrid practice. Farm
ers, and farmers boys and hired help,
who shudder at the facts here presented,
are you not guilty of a measure of cru
city, unconsciously, perhaps, toward
your work team, your cows, and other
domestic animals. that you may, as we'll
as not, avoid? Kindness and gentleness
toward the lower animals, not only en-
noble the master, but they pay in dollars
and cents. as well.-Prdirie Farmer.

OUR HEALTH.
Some Reform Needed In The Penthouse
Appointments

At the Council meeting yesterday afternoon
President Hadden called the attention OF the
members to the fact that the pesthouse was
really a propagatof of the smallpox than
otherwise, and he attributed the spread oil
the disease to the carelessness prevailing at
the hospital about allowing persons to come
there to see their relatives, and then permit
ting them to go back TO the city, where they
probably took sick and gave the disease to
others. What they needed at the pesthouse,
said the president, was kettles to boil out the
disease with. al had thought" continued
the gentle humorist, "of sending out Dr..
Thornton to examine into the matter,
but you know that the pesthouse is
a county institution, and DIR. Thorn

how these doctors are. If he had gone out,
there would have been a fracas between the
county and the District, and that would not
do. We stand on the brink OF an epidemic.

if we are not careful, we may have one.
Some of the patients that are cured go out
in their old clothes, when bath and a three
dollar suit would set them up all right"
Mr.. Graves mentioned the case OF a negro
working on one of his grain barges, who was
found to have Just come from the pesthouse.
A regular stampede had been caused for a
while. but the negro declared that he had
come out with new suit of clothes, and the
men were pacifed.

The marriage of DIR. John /. Toylcr. of

that had evidently been very generally dis
cussed by those who take lively interest in
such gatherings. The audience was larger
than the church could seat; standing room
was nearly all gone long before the time APP
pointed for the ceremony. To say that the
ladies and gentlemen assembled constituted
a fair Memphis fashionable audience Is
equivalent to asserting thst Ter beauty, ele
gauce and grace the assemblage could not be
excelled anywhere in the world. DIR. Tay-
lor studied medicine in Memphis and has a
large circle OF friends here. Miss Lsura
Clapp is the daughter of J. W. Clapp, the
distinguished lawyer. She was reared IN
Memphis, and is one OF the bellies who are

programme was well selected, and carried
out BY excellent voices. Mrs. Thacher and
Miss Minnie Hunter sang solos before the
arrival of the bridal party. While they
were taking their positions at the altar the
Bridal Chorus" was charmingly sung by
Messrs. Kirkland and Steele, Miss McClel-
land and Mrs. T. A. Lamb. Prof. Levy pre-
sided at the organ. The fsral decorations
were extensive and beautiful. An evergreen
arch was over the altar, its ends fastened to
the posts; from this was suspended horse
shoe of beautiful flowers; from this
was pendant a marrisge bell; arches were
also above the side posts of the altar, and
a profusion of pot-plants and baskets Of

the windows. Alter the ceremony the bridal
