ONE of the most contemptible fig
nres in history in his domestic rela-
tons is Henry VIII. of England. No
one can read how he treated his Queen
without feeling a sense of Indignation
King Milan, the comparatively insig-
nlticant brute who rules over Seryia,
is doing his best to follow Henry's ex-
ample. He has all Of the English
mans dastardliness without any of his
better traits. King Milan is hbar-
tine, most arrant coward, n man
without any character. His wife
Natalie is II charming woman of high
culture, who has come unscathed from
the fiery furnace of scandal-lovinr
tongues. Milan has succeeded in Sc
curing divorce from her, the Metro
politan, Theodosius, having issued n
pastoral formally divorcing the two.
Whether as the head of the Servian
Church he had a right to d. this is not
certain. Queen Natalie will not recog-
uize the divorce and has formally an
nouncel her position. What the end
of this domestic row in Sartia's roval
family will be cannot he forashadowed.
The Queen is beloved by the people of
Servia generally, and of the Liberal
party she is III, idol. The Liberal
party includes the great majority of
the commoa people and the priesthood,
aud if they choose to espouse the cause
of the Queen they can make King
Milan's life decidedly unpleasant. The
Liberal party favors the Russian cause.
The Queen is Russian by birth This
fact may lead to complications which
IRE least expected. King Milan's
course toward his Queen has been
shameful from the beginning.

"Docking Horses" was q painless opera
atiQn. We glye the experience of an eye
witness: hThis Is an operation of great
torture TO the horse; 1t weakens his back
for the rest of his life, and none but a
wicked man would do it or have 1t done.
The horse is fastened In the stocks; in
cutting the tail the nerve that runs along
the pack Is severed and when the knife
reaches that part the poor horse screams
out in the gr attest agony, but the cruel
stocks and still more cruel man hold him
fast for more pain. The long hair OF the
tail is drawn over the horrible cash, tied
with rope and drawn up over a pulley,
to the end of which is fastened a heavy
brick fn order 10 keep the tail in hori-
zontal position. Then comes more torture;
with sharp knife the under part oil the
tail is seoreu to the bore in three or four
places, the last time near the body of the
horse so as to cut the thick cord that
holds the tail down. The suffering
animal Is thus kept fastened for three
weeks, until the last made gashes heal
split open; what Is left oil the poor tail
swells to an enormous size and is full of
pain, but the heavy weight attached to
the pulley keeps the cut open. The poor
sknobby grays" who can "no tail
untold" to brush away flies. Besides, the
tail serves as a guide in turning corners,
and this barbarous custom should be
, abolis he'd at once. w.

Enlargement OF the Jail.

ISAAC N, GRUBB, Esq.-Dear Sir, and
friend: Some time ago | read short
article, in which DIR. Black Of New Cas-
tie, recommended the enlargement of the
jail, saying chat the prisoners we're too
much crowded. l also saw in Wednes-
days REPUBLICAN,, that you, and some
others OF the Levy Court were at New
Castle inspt citing the jail. AS l have
studied the subject for several years, and
an old friend of yours, permit me to
make some Suggestions. several years
ago, Local Option was carried in Caro-
| line county, Mi. When Judge Robin
con came to Denton to hold court after Il
little business on NJ .nday, he said, "we
may rs we'll adjourn the court as there
are no prisoners In the jail" Since that
| ii ne several OF the counties have adopted
Local Option, and not one is troubled with
many prisoners, and no desire or need to
! be enlarged, Gov Martin OF Kansas,
the Atiorney-9eneral, and over "
Judges have reported that the jails have
very few criminals, and many none.
Now this proves that the liquor and Deer
| int erests are the almost direct cause OF
the crimes committed, and filling up our
| iails and pententaries. 1t also Increases
| our taxes enormously.
| Now suppose you, as a wise man, occu-
pying an important position In the county,
recon mend local option or constitutional
amendment, AID ii adopted, as sure at
water runs down the jail VIII not need
enlargement, but be too large, and the
county relieved of the great burden and
expense brought upon it, as we'll as un'
told sorrow and distress, by the rum

"The secret of the cablegram from

In the Navy and State Department tort
night ago, and seut Rear Admiral Cher

cred. A steamer arrived In New York
last "Wednesday from Hayti with news
that the Clyde Line steamer Ozama,
owned In New York, had been captured
by the Haytian gunbOat La Defense and
the corveite Dessalines, and held for
three hours.
"Captain Kellogg, of the U. 8. s..
Ossipee, demanded her immediate re-
lease. Legitime refused to let her go,
except under certain conditions. Cap
tain kellogg sent word to Legitime that
unless the steamer was released within
five hours and s5, GOD Indemnity paid by
Legitime, the Ossipee would lombard
The city. Legitime paid the money and
released the Ozama, and that was all

which raised the disturbance was one
from Captain Kellogg to Be retary
