 The Mojave branch of the Southern Pacific railroad will, 1t is expected, reach the Colorado river at the Needles inside of two weeks. Ina branch is now oper- ated to Goff's, 20g miles from MOiave, and 6l5 mics from San Francisco. The end of the track at present is 9 miles east from Gof's, or 2;4 miles from Me lave. At last advices the Atlantic E Pa eff; railroad. with which the Southern Pacific connects at the Needles, was within 90 miles of the river. It Is ex- pected that connection will be made within a month, when through line will be opened between St. Louis and San FracissO, through the Southern Pa cihc, the Atlantic q Pacific, and St. Louis and San Francisco railroads, which. 1t Is understood, are all virtually under control of the Southern Pacific railroad. The St. Louis k San Francis co railroad extends from St. Louis to VIneta, n the Indian Territory, there connecting with the Atlantic S Pacific, which 1t and the AtcBisOD, Topeka k Santa Fe railroad were building to this coast on q franchise owned by the for mer company. The Southern Pacific, however, having obtained One-half of the stock of the St. Louis 5s San Fran CISCO railroad, obtained a share If the control of the Atlantic & Pacific, and that road will be extended no farther west than tue Colorado river. The Southern Pacific. upon the completion of the new road, will virtually nave two termini, one at New Orleans and one at St. Lotus. By tine latter route the dis tance to St. Louis will be considerably less than by the present route via the AtchisCn, Topeka S Santa Fe railro7d.

vicious brute was destroyed to save the lives of human beIngs. In our opinion
 NIT. Bergh has made the question 1f Cruelty Co Animals" d subject of thought so many years, that he has be- come Q kind of monomaniac or crank on the subject, and in order to protect animals from suffering, he often causes greater suffering to human beings. Many arrests have been made by the Society for the prevention Of cruelty to animals, of poor men who labored with horse dray, but who through sickness, or dnll times, were unable to feed their horse, as animals should be fed, and in many instances these poor men have been fined for cruelty to animals, when 1t has been shown that their wives and children at home, were even in more wretched condition, and had less food than tue poor animal with which Ethe head of the family was attempting to earn their daily bread. There are, no doubt, many instances of cruelty to animals, and the Society may do some good in that direction; but great care should be exerc1sed in enforcing the law, or greater wrong and cruelty will be wrought upon poor people. Much more good, in our opinion, might result, if MT Bergh and bis Society would let the animals go for a season, and turn their attention to the sufferings and the abuses which are being perpetrated upon the human race.
