BOW Cattle are Killed at Chicago.

The cattle are slaughtered without
any suffering other than the terror
caused by the smell of blood and the
rudeness OF the young gamins who help
to drive them to the pens. From the
larger pens they are let into small boxes
Lolding three or four. Just over their
heads Is a plank, on which stands an
active young fellow with an egg-shaped
sledge of six or eight pounds. He
watches his chance, never getting ex-
cited or in hurry, and as steer turns
his head up to the daylight above, he
hits him tap with the sledge that drops
him. Instantly sliding door raises, a
grab hook is attached to one foreleg aud
the steer is dragged onto the slaughter
house floor, where another man with a
sledge hits him twice in the forehead
while the chain is being shifted to the
hind leg. Instantly the steer is hoisted
into the air. and after hanging about
minute. Is bled by knife thrust in the
throat. The blood follows the knife in a
stream as large as a mans wrist, and
the carcass is emptied of bleod in less
than half minute. From what I saw,
l judge that the theory of country
butchers, that a beef animal can be
killed too dead to skin well, is errone-
GUS. as specia! pains are taken to have
the animal dead before sticking. e.t.-. 4

The Australian Voting System.

The new voting system, which gess
into effect in Massachusetts next year,
and which is copy of the Australian
ballot systsm, is causing much interest
all over the country, and requests for
copies of the law have been received
by Secretary of the Comm onWeaIth
Pierce from legislators In every
State in he Union. Efforts will probably
be made to have the same law adopted
by many other 8 ates this year, The
state prints all the ballots fur State
officers and the cities and towns for mu-
nicipal aud town officers, snd the
names of all candidates are en- one
ballot. The BALLOTS are given to voters
by the precinct officers. The voter takes
mis- ballot into a private room and
marks the names which he wants to
vote for. He will be fined for showing
his marked ballot to any one. and
fine is levied on q person who attempts
to find out for whom he votes. Thus
q deadly blow is struck at the polls o
consummation dsvoutly to be wished.
The printers will lose q very large and
profitable business in the printing of
the regular ballots for political parties
and of split ticke'sfor Independent can
didates, and also the over prevalent
strikes which have shown increasing
popularity each year. The printers
ssle tad by the State and cities and
towns will be the gamers. However,
anxious candidates will probably want
posters, flyers and circulars as of yore,
aud the printers will probably find
the proverdial half loaf better than no
