hit his hand at twenty PAGES, Hart to use his

because he missed the hand, but he struck the
target in the head, the ball ranging around the

Kindness to Animals.

Every one should know that kind
" treated animals will do their best
for their owners. A curious case
happened recently, which may be
given bs an example. \ noted trot-
ter was driven in race by strange
driver. The horse was evidently dis
satisfied and lost two heats. The old
driver knew the horse could do bet
ter, and begged the owner to be per-
mitted to drive him. His entrCaties
prevailed, and when lie mounted the
sulky the horse Whinnied with pleas
urr. and won the next three heats,
making such record that the owner
had an offer Of fifteen thousand dol
for the animal. 1t is always thus. \
farm horse kindly treated will do
more work than one which is not at
tached to the owner or driver. A COW
will lose milk when attended by q
stranger or di~agreeable person, and
when one is petted and treated with
gentIeness will never exhibit the
common righteousness Of kicking, or
holding up the milk. This is true Of
all farm animals, who return kind
ness with affection and generosity,
aud abundantIy repay the considera-
ton shown them by their owners.
Every boy, especially every farmers
boy, should early learn to treat all
animals with kindness.-Anerican
Farmer.

Moonshine Whisky made in Prison.

ATLANTA, Ca, August 11.-An illicit
distillery has been found in operation
in the County Jail in this city, which
has been worked successfully for several
months. An attempted escape last
night led to the investigation which
developed the existence of the still.
There are in the Jail about sixty of the
worst criminals in the state, among them
fully q dozen murderers. Among them is
Smith, the Heard County murderer,
who had in his cell small stove and
kettle. He had been an illicit distiller
in his day, and his first work on enter
ing the Jail was to improvise worm
and still, gathering the different articles
at different times. The worm was
made out of an india-rubber tube. The
prisoners in his cell would save up their
corn-bresd until a sufficient quantity
was obtained, when the distiller would
make fair article of corn whisky.

The Mexican TechnicaIity.

At the bottom of nearly every dispute
is a misunderstanding of fact. Looking
at questions from different standpoints
and with varying lights, it is possible
even for intelligent. high-minded and
humane people to lose their tempers and
perhaps to fight or get others to fight
for them. The quarrel on the Texas
border is no exception to the rule. Many
people are denouncing Mr.. Bayard for
not going far enough, and Others are
abusing him for going too far, while in
Texas and elsewhere many harsh words
are used against and unjust aspersiOns
are cast upon the MeXicans. Nearly all
these wild disclaimers, the furious parti-
sans of Texas as well as the furious
partisans of MeXico-and there are many
of the latter here at the NOrth-are ar
guing from different standpoints as to
fact.
The case of Cutting, although only
one of many in which the rights of
American citizens are involved, has been
forced to the front because that is the
one on which the American Government
has acted with the greatest vigor As to
| that there is ample room for ignorant
comment, but no excuse for it. The Of
Tense charged against Cutting in Mexico
was libel. He had printed the libel in
Texas and, it is alleged. had himself
| distributed the paper in Mexico. If that
is true in all its details his crime was
against Mexican law and he could be
punished under it, no matter what his
citizenship was. 1t appears, however,
that the law under which he was ar
rested, tried and convicted was one
| which authorizes Mexican courts to
punish men who offend against Mexicans
in foreign country; in other words, to
| try and condemn Americans who, on
American soil, when subject to American
law, offend Mexicans who may be here
also. Cutting was not convicted of ut
tering the libel in Mexico, but of pub
| fishing it in Texas. A moments refiec-
ton ought to convince anybody that this
is an assumption which ought not to be
passed unnoticed. The character of
Cutting cuts no figure in the case. He
is undoubtedly scamp, but let Mexico
punish him for violating laws which it
has right to make, and not for infrac-
tons of laws which it has no right to
make
Now, when this point is made clear,
| there ought to be no excuse in partisan
ship or any other impulse of prejudice
for attacking Mr.. Bayard for his en-
deavor to protect an American citizen
from law which no country will recog-
nize as valid one. He, too, seems to
have been misinformed as to some of the
facts in the case, but he is not misin-
formed as to the one vital point that
Mexico punished an American, not for
what he did in that country, but for
what he did here. No war will be neces-
sary to persuade the Mexican authorities
that they cannot legislate for Texas nor
undertake to punish men for crimes
committed in Texas. 1t is worth while
to insist upon this technicality even in
Cuttings case, for to ignore it now is
but to invite further trouble. Mexico
has Cutting in its custody, and if it will
dismiss him, rearrest him and try him
for uttering his ibels on Mexican soil
there will be no protest from this
country. Chicago Herald.

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.
CHICAGO, August. IA. 1886.


The most interest at present is shown
in the corn and provision markets, and
in both of these lines greater volume
of business was transacted. The corn
market is very firm, owing to the gener-
al belief that damage to the crop has
been under estimated. Prices are
steady. Wheat is rather quiet, and
prices barely steady. Sales are very
slow. Foreign and eastern markets
are steadier. Oats are steady with a
fair shipping demand. Rye is steady
while barley is weak and lower. Seeds
are in moderate demand. Country pro-
duce is in fair demand, and prices re-
main good. Dairy products are weak.
Cattle are in heavy supply, nearly TO-
900 arrived yesterday, and prices for
best class were steady while other
grades are lower. The hog market is
generally firmer. Good heavy to 10c
higher, aud other grades are steady;
the quality is very good. Sheep are
steady while common grades decline 10
to 10c.
