New York Court Decides Question As to Their
Treatment.


In a trial about cruelty to mule at
jamestown. n. Y, last week some inter-
esting points were raised The defense
proved that cruelty to a horse was no
standard of cruelty to a mule. A mule
one witness said differed morally, men
tally and physically from a horse or any
thing else, and had to be beaten severely
sometimes to bring 1t to terms. The mule
in question was a baker, and this
brought up another point. The prosecu-
tion held that baking was a mental dis
order caused by i'll treatment and unin-
tellgent handling when the victim was a
colt. Cases were cited I'm which animals
beaten because they had refused to pass
objects of terror to their young eyes had
become hysterical and by continued i'll
abuse this condition had become chronic
and the animal. through no fault OF its
own, had become what is termed a balky
horse.
The defense held that balkiness was not
a chronic disorder; that 1t was caused by
the same innate cussedness that some
times makes a man turn against the
friend who has cared for him In his ad-
versity. Witnesses were produced who
swore that they had owned balky mules
and that the only way they could keep
them up TO their work was to starve
them. A balky mule could not stand
prosperity. The jury seems to have had
some experience with balky mules. for it
decided for the defendant.

" miles the first day had a good supper
and passed pleasant night. In the morn
ing the German said he guessed they
would have little sauerkraut for break
fast to which the Frenchman strenuously
objected, stating that the thought frogs
legs would be the proper thing. The
German and Frenchman quarreled over
the matter and finally come to blows and
were fighting when the Seotchman called
them to breakfast He had cooked Big
pot OF oat meal. at which the beiliger-
ants turned up their noses. This riled
the Scotchman. and he gave them a piece
of his mind I'm pretty plain language. The
German and Frenchman then made com
mon cause against the Scotchman. and in
the serimmage the pot of oat meal was
upset They fought until they all got
tired and then called 1t draw. Then
they packed up and made FIVE miles and
camped for supper, which passed off
pleasantly enough; but in the morning
the same old row came up over sauer-
kraut frog legs and oat meal. and an
other bloody battle was the result. This
occurred for four days In succession, when
the party broke up and scattered to the

49, RANTS victory at Fort Donel-
EM mm son, Tennessee, in February,
Al 1862, pushed the war in the
west rapidly to a crisis. Mu-
tual interest led the opposing armies to
aim for Corinth, Miss. The COnfeder--
ates had for months been attempting to
keep up a line along the border of Ten
nessee and Kentucky too extensive for
the force they had in the field. General
Albert Sidney Johnston, the southern
leader, had long seen the folly Of it
from a military point of view and the
moment the line was broken by re-
verses at Forts Henry and DOnelsOn
drew his army back to a shorter line.
This was q concentration of strength,
the better to cope with Grant.
When the citizens of Tennessee saw
the Confederate army vanishing from
the border and the country given up to
the Yankees, they turned against John
ston and demanded Of President Davis
that he be removed. Davis promptly
answered, eff Johnston is no general,
we have one and n ny as well stop the
war right where it u.s." He didn't re-
move him. Months before the issue
was tried out on the border Johnston
had figured out the probabilities of the
situation. The north had the most men,
it had rivers leading into the C0nfeder-
ate territory, and it had boats to carry
men and guns. AS sure as two and
two make four the south must have
more men and more forts with guns in
them or give up the whole OF central
and western Tennessee. He studied
the lay of the land and, placing his fin
ger upon Corinth, said, "Here a deci-
sive battle will be fought"
AS soon, then, as battle reverses war
ranted a backward step Johnston said,
"On to Corinth!'' and the Federal ar
mics, elated by the triumph at Donel-
son, took up the watchword, Forward
to Corinth!' Corinth was nothing in
itself-simply a railroad junction. But
the railroads tapped the east and south,
making rail communications from the
Mississippi to the Atlantic seaboard
and from the gulf to the Ohio river. A
Confederate army patrolled Mississippi,
ready to rally upon any threatened
point. To move that force north and
try to save Tennessee would be to leave
Corinth exposed on the west and south.
Johnston chose to abandon Tennessee,
concentrate at Corinth and, after de-
feating the Federal armies in that re-
gion, recover the lost ground. He came
so near doing it that only a straying
bullet stood in the way.

gton started by a roundabout read to

Sausage While You Wait.

restaurant as he deposited a beef

it wasn't exactly his fault" explained
the veteran. "You see, the second day
he was here a customer comes in and
asks for a brace of Frankfurters.
Sausage is all out says the new wait
er, but if you wait awhile | think l

sir, as he went through the door into
the kitchen he happened to tread on
the dogs tail. The dog set up a howl,
and the customer yells: Hey there!
Never mind that sausage. l guess I
don't want it!' Then he puts on his
hat and goes out. The boss saw the
whole thing, and that night the new
waiter was paid off, and quit. Pretty

THE
, T AT PITTSBURG
march his troops out Of Tennessee into
Mississippi. He had been weighed in
the balances of General Halleck, his
immediate superior, and found want
ing. Relieved of command, he waited
for a second chance. General G. f.
Smith, the hero of the decisive charge
at Donelson, had been placed in COM
mand of the troops in the field, and ev-
cry regiment and battery in Kentucky
and Tennessee was marching south,
up Tennessee river, in the direction OF
Corinth. Grant said that he would
serve under Smith as readily and as
faithfully as Smith had served under
him. He had a high opinion OF Smiths
abilities and confessed that he even
thought they might be greater than his
own
Smith was a character in the army.
1t was of him that Sherman made the
remark, Had Smith lived Grant would
never have been heard of after DOnel-
son. But Smiths death was not need
ed to make way for Grant in a second
chance. Halleck thought better of his
action, and Grant was restored to COM
mand on the 18th of March, when the
larger part of the army was encamped
along the Tennessee river within a few
days march of Corinth.
Johnston had scored the first point in
the game to be played in front of Cor
NTH by uniting his own troops. which
had eluded the enemy in getting out or
Tennessee, with the Mississippi army
under Beauregard. He could whip any
single army the Federals had in the
field at the time this union took place.

They have quieted the peoples fears and professod solicitude for their welfare, and promised to lead them to pleasant places; and now that shoals and rocks have been struck, they seek by another promise to mend the whole affair and retain the confidence and trust of those they have deluded.
 I have supposed that my fellow citi- zens are thoughtful on this subject and that their thoughtfulness has led them to desire an amendment of our tariff laws and rectification of the wrong and injustice that follow in their train. I have attempted to give reasons why this work should not be entrusted to those who have so fully demonstrated their insincerity and unfitness for the task.

The crowd numbered about seven thou

into the arena. The police were power
less to check them. Troops were called
out and restored order, finally driving
the rioters away. The performance was

object of the societies is to bring
about cessation of profanity in or
dinary conversation. l believe that
a vast deal of good will come of this
movement, and hope to see it spread
to other parts of the Union. The
fact is that large per cent of men
use profane speech TO an extent that
they scarcely realize. A gentleman

coarse and meaningless expletives,

frequent oaths will not be tolerated
