men, who filed their prods before the
train moved off. On the journey, one OF
them admitted that he had been arrested
not long before for putting a bundle OF
lighted hay under the nose of an animal
that refused to stand upon its feet. The
free use of the prod also accidentally
puts out an animals eye now and then;
the men could not tell where they would
hit when the prod was thrust with great
force among the closely-stowed and help
less animals. When the train stopped
to change engines or take on fuel, the
prod was again brought into requisition
to compel the animals to stand up that
had fallen down and were being crushed
by the weight of their companions. They
are often strangled to death when in this
torturing condition, and the feet of the
standing ones trample out the life OF
those that had fallen.
Between Buffalo and Chicago the six
car loads of sheep received no attention
whatever. They had been on the road
forty hours when Buffalo was reached,
and then orders were given to let them
have a little hay, but no water was al
lowed. The cattle were fifty hours from
the cattle-pens in Chicago to Buffalo, and
in all that time they had neither food
nor drink.
"Thirty-six hours were consumed in
making the journey from Buffalo to New
York; but during that time no food or
drink was given them. For the first
twenty-four hours after the Buffalo re-
spite they kept their feet better, but after
that they began to moan and show signs
of weakness, and the strain of the Jour
ney plainly told on them They reached
New York Monday evening, and were
killed the next morning. On removing
their hides, large clots of blood were
found on their heads, necks, and should
ers, and wherever the prod had done its
cruel work and the animals had been
bruised by crowding against the sides OF
the cars"
Brutal as this record is, it is certainly
no worse than, and probably not nearly
as bad as that of the large number OF
trips made during equally crowded sea-
sons, but of which no information is &C
cessible. Indeed, newspaper criticism,
after repeated efforts, must be pro.
nounced nearly or quite powerless to
rage toward the public, which, all other
considerations aside, does not want to
use meat thus brought to market. 1t is
time for Congress to interfere again, as it
did in 1878, in behalf of the public and
the animals; and this time let the law
be so stringent that Imprisonment as we'll
as fine shall be the penalty.-N Y

Mr.. Editor: Doyou believe in the
stock lawf It you do not you ought
to take q trip into South Carolina, and
you would come home ready to make
speeches or publish articles. or to do
anything to convince the people Of
the great benefit resulting from the
no fence law. A farmer told me it
had saved Abbeville more than q mil
hon of dollars. Farming seems to be
the most pleasant occupation man
can engage in. Nothing to do but
prepare the ground, plant and culti-
waite. You never hear of bad stock,
nor unlawful hogs, nor climbing goats.
Why, when I was young, there was a
constant complaint on the plantation
about the cattle and the hogs, and it
kept one hand busy to look after the
fences. Now the farmer can both Law
him down in peace and sleep, for
there is nothing to hurt nor destroy
in all the land. Should his fields be
molested by some stray stock, he has
only to make out his bill of damages
and it is paid Immediately. I saw a
large village without a picket or any
other fence. Flowers and vegetables
growing all about. I saw fine fields
OF oats that had only been plowed
after the last crop had been cut
Every rich spot Of ground was in high
cultivation, even the right of way of
the railroad that never could have
been fenced. Truly 'sthe desert bios

CoURrs OF APpEAL.-Of the many
defective features of the present con-
stitution Of the State, which have
elected unfavorable criticism and
given dissatisfaction, none is more
prominent than that branch of the
judiciary which includes the Courts
of Appeal.
After fair trial it has been found
both in the city and country parishes
that the system is not only a complete
failure but is useless expense to the
State. While amendments to the
Constitution seem to be the order of
the day with the Legislature, it is to
be hoped that a reorganization of the
court Of appeals will not escape their
attention.-[New Orleans States.

Then and Now.

This is driving, delyiDg, sweat
ing life at best; but as the natural
land acquired wants of man have
asserted themselves with constantly
growing force, they have established
provision for their qualification
which is little short of marvellous.
Perhaps there is as much envy, as
much discomfort, and as much re.
pining as ever came to the surface
when society failed to enjoy the ma
terial, and still more impalpable ad-
vantagcs that now present them
selves on every side; but that is the
fault of man and not of circum-
stances. On the contrary, if we have
any reasonable appreciation of pro-
gress and will stop for a moment to
contrast the past with the present,
we shall find cause for gratitude and
felicitation. Does it ever occur to
the man of humble business and
moderate returns, or to the man
with an average salary, that he is
enjoying as comforts of licences
saries of life he calls them--a great
deal that was once luxury aud could
be afforded only by the wealthy, and
a great deal more than even the
wealthy could not obtain at any
price, because it did not exist o.
Nevertheless, that is the fact, and
those of US who cannot enjoy the
choicest luxuries of the present, can
at least add to the inheritance of the
past in this respect. The institu-
tions of the time are infinitely
broader, grander, more varied and
available at a more moderate price
than fifty years ago.
The open horse car Of the streets
of our large cities takes us over the
stony pavement with much greater
ease and comfort than was afforded
by my lady's carriage halfa century
agone, or even to day, for that mat
ter. Our great river steamers are
floating palaces, rich in enjoyment,
which is within the reach Of almost
every mans purse. The rocky coast
or piney woods-the wonderful
beauty and diversity of cost and
inland country are accessible to all.
The world looks wider and more
beautiful than 1T could have seemed
to the generations before our own,
who knew little of the richness of
Nature in the summer months. To
q city population the country was
then an unknown land; while now
our railroads--annihilators of time
and distance-make it appear,
whichever way we look, like a vast
and glorious suburb. We look back
to the past and envy our ancestors
their cheapness of living; but if we
consider what money buys today,
we shall find that living was never
so cheap since the world began as
now, though no doubt our ancestors
existed at very moderate figures.

" Let There be no Extra Session.

Monroe Bulletin, June 2ist.l
And now there is talk of an extra
session OF the Legislature to complete
important business that cannot be
disposed Of before the end of the
regular term. It is impossible to un-
derstand a Louisiana Legislature
For the last two weeks we have been
assured by resolution and otherwise
that the Legislature would be ready
to adjourn yesterday. Bill Arp said
many years ago that in the ordinary
affairs Of life that sour hind sights
are better than our foresights," and
we are inclined to think that it is
equally applicable to the ups and
downs Of Legislature. Il is gener-
ally esteemed q relieffrom apprehend-
ed danger when the announcement is
made adjourned sine die. Any
effort to continue the suspense is not
only q surprise but a thing that all
but members will deprecate. No
matter what may be the unfinished
business we earnestly request Gov.
McEnary to trust to luck in bridging
it over. Let there be no extra ses-
sion. Men who could fritter away

sumo a decade IN accomplishing the
