Cattle Care
AN APPEAL FOR
Improved Cattle Cars.

THE United States law to protect animals
L during the transportation by rail pro-
vides that when they are carried in cars
in which they can be fed, watered and
have rest. its requirement that animals shall
be unloaded every . hours, and then have a
rest of hours, shall not apply to animals in
such cars. The law prevents starvation and
too long confinement IN ears so FAR AS IF IS
OBEYED by the Railroad Companies. and its
existence and enforcement are of the first
necessity while the common stock cars are
used but the relOadlng at the stopping places
is attended with much cruelty, II being natu-
rally hard to get the poor creatures back into,
cars. where they have already so suffered,
without blows. or verse.
To meet thus want of an improved car the
American Humane Association offered a prize
of five thousand dollars S. COO for such a ear
the country. One of its conditions was at
the patents on the approved car should e
given to the Association, that the car might
be offered to the railroad companies by il free
from charges Of royalty.
But the owners of the best inventions de-
cided not to compete for the prize, thinking
that their cars would prove more valuable TO
them than the $1,000. Accordingly, the prize
could not be awarded. The offer, however,
caused the construction of cars WHICH MEET
THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW, and the
trustees of the fund take this way of making
known the fact to Officers, Directors and
Stockholders Of Railroad Companies, and to
all humane people whose hearts have been
touched by the atrocities of this traffic.
G0td medals haze been gigeR to the persons
and companies named below. The names are
given in the order that the several cars were
examined:
A. c. MATHER, Chicago, Illinois.
W. STUART HUNTER, Belleville, Canada.
j. NJ. LINCOLN, Providence, Rhode Island.
MONTGOMERY PALACE CAR COMPANY, New
York City.
BURTON STOCK CAR COMPANY, Boston, Mas
sachusetts.
THOMAS CLARK, Truro, Nova Scotia.
JOHN w. STREET, Chicago, Illinois.
SO long as the common car IS used. the
words of Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey,
will continue true: II declare the live stock
traffic to be one long and uninterrupted line
of suffering from the West to the East" The
sanitary objections are also of the gravest
character.
The great success of refrigerator ears is
lessening the number of animals transported
alive; but there must always remain such
traffic in them as to make the improved car
permanent necessity.
To avoid all Interpretations on the sub
ject, we add that neither the Association or
any of its officers have a pecuniary interest
in any of the cars above named.

a Curious Application to a Police Mag
istraee.
London Telegraph.

On Saturday, April y, young man of
respectable appearance came before Mr..
Chance, at Lambeth Police Court, and
said: "Your worship, l want you to help
me about my young woman"
Mr.. Chance-I will il l can, but it is
rather strange request. Let me know
more about it.
Applicant-Well, 1 am engaged to be
married to a young woman living at
Peekham. On Thursday night l went to
her house to see her, but she was not at
home. After hunting about from one
place to another l found my young wO-
man in company with another man drink
ing together. What am | to do? l have
promised to marry her; but, if sue is keep
ing company with another man, l don't
feel inclined.
Mr. Chance-But how can 1 assist
you? If your young woman acts in such
a way you will have little difficulty in
breaking or the match.
Applicant-Yes, sir; but then don't let
me marry her. Loud laughter.
Mr.. Chance-l have no power in the
matter. It's in your hands as TO whether
you perform your promise or not.
Applicant thought you could have
given me an order so as to prevent my
being married, as she went out with an
other man. Renewed laughter.
MIR. Chancellor appear to be rather
simple in such matter. 1 fancy you
are afraid OF breach of promise case
against you; but if You can prove what
you have stated to me yoa need not fear.
Applicant-Nery well, then, l need not
marry her. Continued laughter.
Mr.. Chance-Certainly not
Applicant-That's all right.
He then left the court, evidently very
greatly satisfied.

A Criticism of American Humor

There seems some danger that change
will come over the tone and character of
American humor, and that, instead of the
half-unconscious comicality of the early
school of American humOrists, we shall
have the audacious buffoonery of liter
airy clowns. Hitherto American humOr
has not lacked refinement. Whether it
resided in the quaint phraseology of
Artemus Ward, the rough LONELINESS of
Bret Harte and j. r. Lowell, or the curl
Gus invention of Mark Twain. it MAIN
tanned an invariable purity of tone. If
never very subtle, it was at any rate never
slow" If, according to our ideas of
humor, it was tricky, it was infinitely
above punning. One positive quality
hitherto developed by American humor
is an adroit employment of false
hood and eXaggeration. 1t makes
us laugh in spite of ourselves,
it carries our judgment by assault,
and thus humiliates while it amuses. I'm
fortunately, the change at which we have
limited is in the direction of depending
still more on the trick of exaggeration.
with the addition of most unwelcome
impudence and cOarseness. We should
have been delighted if to the buoyant self
confidence of the indigenous Yankee a
measure of European refinement and sub
tlety had been added; but this it seems
vain to hope for.

A Love Tragedy in the Escurial.


A singular tragedy was enacted recent
ly in the palace of the Escurial. While
the visitors were being conducted through
the cloisters, they were startled by three
or four reports of gun following one an
other in quick succession. Several of
them ran in the direction from which the
sounds came, and met in one of the pass
ages a handsome and well-dressed girl,
who exclaimed in piteous accents, "Help
me, Tor Gods sake; my heart is cut i'm
two" She was holding her hands to her
breast, and blood was flowing in large
quantities down her dress. A few PAGES
further on young man was found lying
in pool Of blood, with gunshot wound
in his side. When he saw the crowd, and
the girl among them, he just had the
strength to eXclaim, sob, look at me.
thou star my lifel 1 wish to die with
your eyes looking into mine." The two
victims were taken into the hospital of
the palace; they may both recover.
1t has been ascertaiued that the young
man, native of Madrid, had for some
time been in love with the girl. and, as
she would not listen to his suit, he deter
mined to kill her first and himself after
ward. Hearing that she was going to
visit the Escurial with one of her friends.
he thought the opportunity would be IA
Vorable for carrying out his scheme of
vengeance, and ne followed her from Ma
drid to the palace without being observed.
and called out to her while she was in one
of the corridors, shooting her as soon as
she turned round.

RUSSIAN COURT LIFE.
Eugene Schuyler on COnventienaIitfes
in the Time of Peter Velfki.


The hours kept by Peter were very diff
ferent from those now in fashion. He fire.
quently attended sessions of the Senate
or had conferences with his ministers at
3, or O'Clock in the morning, then went
to the Admiralty to supervise the ship
building, and generally managed TO get an
hour at the lathe before his ii O'Clock dim
ner. Then followed the usual Russian
midday nap; later he went on tours of in
spection round the town, or worked in his
private chancery, and the evening he
passed in the society of his friends or in
the more public assemblies.
Such hours are scarcely possible. ex-
cept in st. Petersburg, where St midsum-
mer 1t is always light, and at midwinter
the sun is below the horizon from 3 D. M
to a. M, and frequently, owing to fogs,
1t is dark much longer, and early and late
become mere relative terms. AT least
three or four times each week Peter either
dined or supped with his most intimate
friends, and most frequently with Menshi-
kOf, for, In spite of accusations, and per-
haps certain withdrawal of confidence,
friendly and intimate relations were
maintained. Thus, in October, 1719. on
the anniversary of the battle of Kalisz.
Menshlkof came to the Tsar at 8 O'Clock
in the morning to invite him to dine. He
remained talking with nim several hours,
Wnen OOIn went TO The house OF General
GoloYin, then to the liturgy at the Trinity
Church, and then to dinner, after which
there was sailing party on the Neva, and
the Tsar returned to MenshikOf's for sup
per, and stayed until 10 o'clock.
The court of Catherine presented great
contrast to that of her husband. She was
fond OF luxury and display, Ofdress and of
jewels, and Peter humOred her in this. In
deed he liked the nobility also to keen up a
fitting state. When the Princess Golitszn
was the jester in ordinary to Catherine,
Peter had two regularly entitled fools.
One, Balakyref, was a Russian, the other.
La Costa, was from Portugal. The latter
was commonly given the title Of Count,
until, on the arrival in 1719 of the Samo-
yedes, who came down in the winter with
their reindeer and camped on the ice of the
Neva, he was appointed King of the Samo-
yedes, and twenty-four of them swore al
legiance to him. In accordance with the
customs of the times there was no lack of
dwarfs at the court. Even no private
house was considered well furnished with
out them. They were produced on all Oc-
casions, put into pies at great banquets,
and their conduct always furnished food
for spiritual entertainment. At the fune-
raj Of one who had been long attached to
Peter, twenty-four male and twenty-four
female dWarfs walked IN procession, fol-
lowed by the Emperor in person and his
ministers and guards.
