A good recommendation ought to al
ways be promptly seconded, and we
wish to endorse the following, from q
correspondent of the Rural New-York-
er: Now it is in order for the organ
ization Of a National Stock Association,
which should be charged with the over
sight of the general stock interests of
the country, and which should trace
out every reported case OF disease and
have it stamped out without remorse /;
and which should shut up every un-
wholesome swill feeding stable, and
compel this rotten and wretched man.
ner of herding and feeding cattle to be
abandoned. If cattle are to be feed on
distillery waste, they should at least be
kept in clean and healthy stables, and
not in foul, fetid, reeking dens, where
the rotten filth is knee-deep and the air
Is thick with pestilent vapor." The
country must have just such an associa-
ton, and the convention at st. Louis
in November will afford the opportuni-
ty for its organization.

There are many dime museums scat
tered all over the country, which are
sometimes hard pushed for novelties.
The manager of one Of them found a
pretty, but peculiar mulatto girl, who
for SIS week consented to be trans
formed into nondescript beast. Two
Of hef side teeth were pulled out and
long tusks were inserted, her ears were
covered with false ones to match and
her abundant hair was bleached and
frizxled. A history Of her capture in
some corner of the world was invented
and she was taught to chatter tnintel
ligible gibberish. The transformation
made her a valuable curiosity, and
crowds thronged around her. She soor
complained that S15 week was not
enough compensation for making a
beast of herself and refused to show.
The Snowman then exposed the trick
and discharged the Kangaroo belle
without either her teeth OF tusks.

diced as fast as the necessary revenue
invested In business win allow; that

that the republican party is censurable
