The Bill to Help Virginia Cattle
RaiSerS.

Hon. Paul Lester, member of Congress
from the Pittsylvania district Of Virginia,
has introduced the following bill i'll the
House of Representatives
Whereas a trust formed by any number
of persons or amount of capital, either In
corporate form or otherwise, to regulate
prices paid or received in the purchase OF
sale of stock-cattle, beef-cattle on foot, OF
dressed beef, destroys wholesome compe-
tition in the markets of the United States,
restricts the trade, depreciates the value OF
stock and beef-cattle, depresses, discour-
ages, and destroys the important Industry
of cattle-raising in many parts of the coun-
try, which further depreciates the value
OF many other farm products and the farms
themselves; and whereas the shipping OF
dressed beef any great distances exposed
for any considerable length OF time, is con-
ducive of great imposition upon the con-
sumner by affording opportunity for the in
PRODUCTION on the market of diseased OF
otherwise impure meat, and endangers the
health of the people in the propagation OF
disease-germ therefore be it
Resolved, etc., That a combination of any
number of persons OF amount of capital
in any respect whatever, for the purpose
of governing the price in the purchase and
sale of stock cattle, beef cattle on foot, OF
dressed beef in any respect whatever, is
hereby declared unlawful,
Section g. That offering for sale dressed
beef which has been slaughtered more
than thirty-six hours and shipped more
than five hundred miles Is hereby declared
unlawful.
Section g. That any person acting fol-
himself OF for another in any capacity
whatever in the organization and mainte-
nance of a trust touching OF governing the
price of stock cattle, beef cattle on foot OF
dressed beef contrary to the restrictions
and provisions of this act shall be guilty
of misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not less than S10C
nor more than 5000, and in case Of fail
than one nor more than five years.

A Christmas Like 1t.

The Christmas of 1888, was at Atlanta
exactly like the one that has just closed
in Virginia The following is the descrip-
ton of it written by the late Henry W.
Grady under the title ga Perfect Christmas
Day -
| No man OF woman now living will see
again such a Christmas day as the one
which closed Yesterday, When tne ayng
sun piled the western skies with gold and
purple.
A winter day it was, shot to the core with
sunshine. 1t was enchanting to walk
abroad in it's prodigal beauty, to breathe
its elixir, to reach out the hands and plunge
them open-fngered through its pulsing
waves Of warmth and freshness. 1t was
perfect glory that held the sunshine and
snow beneath tender and splendid skies.
To have winnowed such day from the
teeming winter was to have found an Odor-
Gus peach on a bough whipped in the
| storms of winter. One caught the musk OF
yellow grain, the flavor of ripening nuts,
| the fragrance of strawberries, the exquisite
odor of violets, the aroma of all seasons in
the wonderful day. The hum of bees I'M
derrode the whistling wings of wild geese
fiying southwark. The fires slept in droWs-
ing CRATES, while the people, marvelling
outdoors, watched the soft winds WOO the
| roses and the lilies.
Truly it was DAY OF Gays. AMID us
riotous luxury surely life was worth liv-
ing to hold up the head and breathe it in
as thirsting men drink water; to put every
sense on its gracious excellence to throw
the hands wide apart and hug whole arm
fuls of the day close to the heart, till the
heart itself is enraptured and illuminated.
Gods benediction came down with the day,
slow dropping from the skies. Gods smile
was its light, and all through and through
but appealing to every heart and sanctify-
ing every soul, was his invocation and
promise, "Peace on earth, goodwill to
men,"

In a Year,

The widow of Jefferson Davis has writ
ten letter to Mayor Ellyson of Richmond,
acknowledging the receipt of the resolu-
lions of the City Council of that city, ask
ing that Mr. Davis body be buried there.
She says:
eff gratitude for the manner in which
the people of Richmond sustained him
during the war, his affection for her citi-
zens and pride in the calm fortitude of her
men and women under crushing defeat
were to be the moving cause only, might
lay him there unquestioned. But the State
of his birth, Kentucky; the State of his
adoption, which shoWered every honor
upon him within her gift, Mississippi, the
State where the Confederacy first unfurled
her flag, Alabama; the State in which his
parents spent their early life and where
Els father was born and where my hus-
band has received many honors, Georgia;
the State in which we found friends and
home and where our dead repose, Ten
nesseei and last, but not Least, the State
which now gives him sepulture amidst the
tears and plaudits OF her people, louisiana!
all these have put forth claims SO strong
that / cannot decide among them, and
have decided to wait perhaps a year before
making selection. 10 rest in the same
soil with your immortal haloes, General
Robert f, Lee and EtopeWall jackson, is
privilege fully appreciated, and l would
would be the last to undervalue the boon,
but when the final decision must be made !
cannot be unmindful Of the rights Of those
who have done me the honor to claim the
custody of my dead, and beg you to have
patience with me for a season.

That Street Car Hog.

About midnight last Saturday gentleman
and his wife boarded south bound Indiana
avenue car at Peck court. All of the seats
were occupied-one by two long bundles be-
longing to the fellow who sat beside them
reading paper in the dim light. The lady
looked from him to his bundles on entering
the car, but he made no move. Then she po
litely asked if he would not take them up and
give her the seat. Still he paid no attention,
and, turning the long bundles around, she sat
down. Her husband looked at the fellow, ex-
pecting that he would take the hint and make
room, but he kept on with his paper.
Then the conductor came in and asked him
to either take his bundles in his lap or put
them under the seat. ssWhat's the matter
with youy' be growled. The conductor init
mated that he would soon find out if he did
not heed his request. ''Haint I paid my
farce" asked the fellow.
eyes, replied the conductor, ssbut you
haven't paid for the whole car, and want
YOU to remove those bundles" He did it with
i'll grace, and the lady's husband took the seat
beside her, where there was plenty of room.
The impolite individual kept his eyes glued
to his paper until he left the car, in spite Of
the running fire Of shots directed at him by
others in the car who had witnessed his hog
gishness There was not a man there who
would not have given worlds to have pulled
his nose, and the conductor would have liked
nothing better than to beat a tattoo on his
person.
Said this conductor Monday morning, when
the husband of the lady boarded his car:

tributes-the North had greatly the advan-
tage. Only one element remains to account
for the difference-caref for the defenceless;
and this, in the depth of our restitution,
never ceased, as the world will appreciate,
whenever impartial history shall render
the justice which contemporary prejudice
and passion have denied"
Mr.. Davis briefly reviews the different
and earnest efforts he made to exchange
prisoners and even to permit the medicines
needed to treat Federal prisoners to be in
troduced solely for their use and in charge
of Federal agents who should distribute
them, and he tells how every offer was re-
jected-even the petition Of a committee Of
Andersonville prisoners who were paroled
to 60 to Washington to present t en Their com
themselves.

COMPARISON BETWEEN ANDERsONV1LL
AND NORTHERN WAR PRISONS.

COMPARISON BETWEEN ANDERsONVILLE
AND NORTHERN WAR PRISONS.
One of the last essays from the pen Of
Hon. Jefferson Davis was on Anderson
Vile and other War Prisons 1t was writ
ten last summer for the North American
Review, but, in consequence OF what MI:
Davis characterized as the mutilation OF
his reply to Lord Wolseley by the editor OF
the Review, he Withdrew it from That perl
in the January number OF which the hrst
part of it appears.
The facts given by Mr.. Davis are divided
into three groups. The first group are de-
signed to show, while no attempt is made
to deny the existence Of great and needless
sutferings, yet that they were not owing to
any fault Of the Confederate authorities,
and contrary to the common belief at the
North, neither the Sutferings nor tile mors
tality among the Federal captured soldiers
in Confederate prisons were SO great as the
sufferings and mortality among Confed-
crate prisoners in Federal prisons. The
article says:
cit must be conceded that the Northern
States are more general y healthy than the
Southern. Then, with equal means and care
in providing for the prisoners, it follows
that the rate of mortal lily should have been
as the salubrity of the country. 1t may be
presumed that all were ON duty when
captured, and the average OF the Wonnded
among the prisoners about the same; there
fore that all were in condition to be ben:
Gifted by rest and proper treatment in 9
favorable locality. What was the result :?
According to the reports of the United
States War Department the relative mum;
beers of prisoners and deaths were in round
numbers;

crates, with an excess Of $4,000 prisoners
had 1900 fewer deaths; This should not
have been the case if the means of provld
ing for them had been equal; but; ia every
