Cruelty to Animals.

Altho' we are living in a enlight-
ened land and among civilized
people, we are not without some
uncivilized practices. We do not
think it strange to read of cruel
deeds among 'uncivilized people,
because inhumanity generally be-
longs to the ignorant or untaught ;
but right here in our boosted home
of the "brave" we can see vivid
traces Of barbarism. For example,
while coming home from our fair
city not long ago we passed heav-
lily loaded wagon OF ba ed hay.
The weary horses had just sue
ceeded in reaching the top of the
Hill and as for as we could see,
the driver, big muscular man
was pounding one of the horses
with a heavy club, which was
brought down with all the force
that strong and angry man could
command. The horse stood quiv-
ering and helpless as blow after
blow fell, and we noticed flesh
wound bleeding on the hip of the
animal as we passed. Now it
looked to us like an unreasonable
load and the horses stopping after
they had succeeded in reaching
the brow of the hill, would lead
one to belive that it was exhaus.
ton that compelled them to halt,
but not knowing the circumstances
we will not affirm anything. We
only say this: 1t matters not
what the cause may be, there is no
excuse for unreasonable, cruel treat
ment to our beasts of burden. 1t
is true that some horses are un-
ruly and may need punishment
but it is vile person that shows
no mercy to the helpless.
Knowing the nature of the Afri-
can as we do, we do not doubt but
that many of the slaves were de-
serving of punishment, perhaps,
but we arose up in indignation at
the cruelty that was perpetrated
among them. Our own children
are sometimes wilful and disobe~
dent, but we find that there are
other and better ways of punish
ment than that of cruel usage.
And so with our dumb animals
that give their lives in exchange
for the feed they consume. Theirs
is life of continued servitude, and
| consider that we are responsible
to God for the way that we treat
those that faithfully serve us.

WASHINGTON. July PA lOng-m00tel
question has at last been authOritatively
answered by the president and cashier
Of WashingtOn's oldest and best-knOWn
public resorts. The decision Is given in
the following letter published in the

Editor Post: | wish TO set at rest
controversy which has Of late been going
the rounds Of the New York papers
which have been struggling with the pro-
position to locate the place OF origin OF
the now famous drink, the hickey Ii is
a Well-knOwn fact among new spaper men
and politicians that the Hon. Joseph X.
Hickey did. for speculative purposes, pur-
chase from the Shoemaker adminstra-

that about a year after his ownership of

under the supervision Of the esteemed
and genial chief chemist, George A. VIII

the first hickey was made at Shoemaker's
sixteen years ago. This occasion is re-
called as II II were but yesterday, and

subject, AUGUST w. NOACK."
