KEEP THE MEAT COVERED.

There is a common practice among
some of our butchers which, though
it may not be deleterious to health is
certainly very unclean, and this Is
the bringing of meat to the market
entirely or partially uncovered, be-
meath the burning rays OF the sun
aud a prey to the huge clouds OF
dust which is floating about IN CO.
pious quantities during the Summer
mouths. A case of this kind came
under our immediate notice last
week. This writer was making
his way out Texas aven;e, through
the sitting dust, when he encountered
butcher wagon loaded with meat
which was almost unprotected from
both sun and dust. This should
be 1emedied. 1t should come, if it
does ot,under the jurisdiction of the
Board of Health. If it does, that
body is respectfully called ON to I'M
pose such rules and regulations as
will put stop to it. Meat thus ex-
posed certainly cannot be very heath
full, and as a question of sanitation, it
should be looked after by the Board
of Health, if it has authority, and il
not, then there should be immediate
laws passed giving it such.
The question of health is an i'm
portant one. sufficiently so to Justify
the necessity of butchers being forced
to bring their meat to the market dur
ing the Summer months i'll refrigera-
tors. The price we have to pay fOl
our fresh meats will certainly Justify
the butchers in keel ing them in thi,
manner, and public health demands it
Will this be looked after by the
proper persons?

1t is said that MIR. Blanchard had
greater weight in the last Congress

that its policy would meet with the

whether in society or simply walking
or posing on the streets. The man
who simply demeans himself prop
erly to certain individuals OF lntlu-
ence, and is rude TO others whom he
thinks not entitled to his consldera-
ton, is unworthy of the name of gen
tleman, and is not entitled to the re-
spect of any one. Likewise the boy
who has no consideration for persons
W lon he may think occupy lowly po-
sitions in the world, really places
himself on plane lower than the
one on whom he looks with disdaln.
The fact that it is a negro who Is the
object of his rude jests or insolent re-
marks, when that negro Is quiet and
inoffensive, only increases the enorm-
ity of the offense, and lowers the boy
committing the same in the opinion
of those whose opinions are valuable.
A matter of this kind was reported
to The PRoGREss this week which
should be known, that the parents OF
the boys may be apprised of the fact
and correct their sons, and teach
them their error. This case was that
of Rev. G. d. Shallowhorne, COL
ored minister and his wife. The
Rev. Shallowhorne is, as far as we
have seen of him, quiet, orderly,
we'll behaved, respectful negro, who
is very well educated and tries to be
a gentleman and a Christian. He
has on several occasions called at our
Office, and we have never had cause
to complain of or resent his de-
meanor. On the occasion referred to
he aud his wife were on their way,
after night, to visit the house of a
member of his church, whose wife
was corpse, when they came upon a
number of white boys near the cor
ner Of Common and Cotton streets,
who offered them indignities and in
suited them grossly. This is all
wrong. and if the boys understood
the situation they would never, we
feel certain, be guilty of the act
again.
