THE BEEF INDUSTRY.


some Interesting Figures Upon Its Growth
and Profits.
The growth of beef packing opera
tions in the United States has been
largely increased in late years, chiefly
incident to the business of pork pack
ing. Exact satisfies have not been
made available with reference to this
industry. The introduction of refrlg-
orator cars for the safe transporta-
tion of fresh product has effected
great changes in the beef trade Of
the larger towns and cities through
out the country, the local killing Of
animals giving way in great meas
ure to the more economical methods
reflected by the dressed meat opera
lions Of large concerns.
Cattle killing for commercial sup
plies of beef is chiefly prosecuted at
Chicago, Kansas City, st. Louis and
Omaha, with considerable In the az
gregate at other places. The total
number of cattle killed in the four
centers IN 1880, was about 100, 600;
in 1885, it had advanced to ! ,450, 600;
Subsequent years showed an impor.
tant increase, reaching a total or s.
275, 900, in 1890; the following year
no gain was shown, but there was u
fair increase in 1892, and 1893, reach
ing a total In excess Of 4,10O, 900 in
the latter year. These figures, while
they embrace animals slaughtered for
local requirements, are instructive
as Illustrating the important extern
tion of beef production for CONNER
cial distribution in these centers
The expectation of Eeef has great
ly enlarged in late years, although
the total for 1893 was decidedly re-
duced in comparison with several
gears previously. In 1890 the total
reached 39S, 900, 600 pounds, the max
imum recorded; for ten years ending
with 1892, the annual average was
26l, 900, 900 pounds; in 1893 it was
200, 900, 900 pounds, having a value
of nearly S35, 900, 900; the annual
average exports for ten years ending
with 1892 was S2l, 900, 900.
Here at Cincinnati there have been
no positive efforts heretofore for COM
petitive operations in the beef trade,
but In the past year large plant
has been completed which has inau-
gurated an important industry here,
and it is to be hoped that success

had not dishonored ourselves or our
state in these encounters, but our
triumphs had cost us dearly in both
men and officers,
We had during this resting interval
been in sight of the enemy's fort,
which seemed TO be we'll protected.
One night, just before taps, the word
came that the fort was to be stormed
the next morning at daybreak.
Our colonel addressed us:
Boys, we are invited to lead the
charge. The post of honor is tho post
OF danger"
My brain reeled with anxiety. We
all realized it was "furlorn hope"
Our chaplain joined the colonel, and
said:
"Men, this is the most serious under
taking you have been asked to consid-
err. 1t is probable scarcely one of your
entire number can escape death. Not
one of you is compelled to go. If any
refuse, he can never be branded as n
coward, as your records for bravery
are already made. Think it over and
come back here at 70 o'clock and let
us know your answer"
At the hour appointed we all re-
turned.
Do you ask "all?" Yes, sir; without
exception we all were there. There
were some white faces, and | know my
heart was in my boots, but we wore de-
termined faces.
"Now," said the chaplain, ego to your
tents, write your letters, settle all bus
mess, and if you have any sins ask
God to forgive them. l shall go with
you in the morning, and may the Lord
have mercy on u.s."
Daylight came; we resolutely formed
in line. We made the assault. Unto
the jaws of death ?" you ask.
Scarcely an hour before the enemy
had evacuated it. We lead the "for-
lorn hope" without the loss Of a single
man. But we had our courage tried
all the same, don't you thinkP D.

A Grcwsome Scheme.

A florist in the Boulevard St. Ger
main has this year had the ingenious
idea of attracting people to his shop
by organizing what may be called a
tableau yivant of Christ In his tomb.
The bridesmaids back shop, convert
ed into Chapelle ardente, is deco
rated with garlands of rcses and
white lilacs, which hang In profusion
from the ceiling, and are attached in
festoons on the walls. developed in
white shroud, lying In the position
Of the Christ of Philippe de Cham
paigne, with bare arms, feet, and
hands, stained with the stigmata,
the forehead apparently bleeding,
from the crown OF thorns, with dis
ordered hair around his bowed head,
and with a pail face and sunken eyes,
a fgure-that Of Jesus-is shown to
the public, not in wax, but In living
flesh and blood. The man who lies
thus in the florists shop during ten
hours Of the day is painters model.
The crowd Of persons outside anxious
to witness the spectacle has been so
great that policemen had to be told
of to keep them in order While await

Army transfers have always been
proverbial for the scientific volubilitY
of their swearing. Modern &mes have
not altered this fact. A teamster with
the Cumberland army got stuck in the
mud, and he let fly stream of black
and blue oaths that would have aston
ished "our army in Flanders even.
A Chaplain, passing at the time, was
greatly shocked ohear such solid balls
of nouns substantive whizzing around.
"My friend, said he to the teamster,
in plainitive accent, "do you know who
died for sinners?"
CD your conundrums! Don't you
see I'm stuck in the NUDE
The worthy Chaplain here became so
confused, that he tried thirteen times
in his mind to make ioiner's work Of
the question and answer, but he was
obliged, like Dogberry, to give 1t

Enthusiastic Angler.

General Maury, who writes the
"Recollections of a Virginian," says
that when he was in Texas he found
Colonel George Crlttenden, who was
then commanding Fort Inge, to be a
man devoted to sport, He one day
killed ten deer in nine shots, and he
spent day after day in floating about
the Leona catching black bass.
He was a wonderful fisherman, and
used to find out very quickly whether
his soldiers had any qualifications for
the gentle art" When the orderly
reported to him at tho daily guard
mounting, he would say.

that Charley was thrown headlong in

a remarkable knowledge of the habits
of domestic poultry and live stock of
all kinds. While serving in east Ten
nesse the regiment one day found them
selves in a section Astounding in all
kinds of animals, and they had for a
long time been confined to the discus
sion of army rations, there was gen
eral raid on the barn yards along the
line of march. Charley Pettibone OF
Company G was one of the most ex-
pert foragers in the regiment, and in
his search to suit somewhat fastid-
ious taste, he found himself at a con-
siderable distance from the column be-
fore he found a fat calf about six
months old. While wrestling with
his prize, which developed an lncllna-
ton to go in any direction but towards
the command, Charley was suddenly
brought to a realizing sense of his sit
llation by discharge of firearms and
the whistling of bullets, and glancing
backward saw that he was pursued by
a squad of Rebels evidently on an er,
rand similar to his own. The call
frightened and believing, for once
seemed inclined to go in the right di-
rection, and without q moments hest
