The process Of killing beef cattle
in the Jersey City Abattoir. New
Jersey, is thus described by g late
visitor 10 tha, place;


There are ten or twelve steers in q
pen, some lying down, some stand
ing. A man takes q stout rope about
one inch in diameter and three feet
long with loop st each end. He
makes q slip moose Of this aad fas-
tens it on the left hind leg of steer,
sbove the second joint, and attaches
the loop at the other end to a hook
on a rope Of the same size which goes
over the wheel overhead A crank
is turred and the animal is slowly
but surely drawn from the pen. The
doors of the pen are closed, and the
animal, in endeayoring to keep his
feet, falls and bis struggles cease.
He is hoIsted until all his feet are
clear Of the floor, < hen the butcher
puts bis left hand on oae norm, turns
the head around, and With a very
sharp knife cuts the throat clear
across A pan made Of galvanized
iron, about two feet 10 diameter and
six inches deep, catches the blood,
which is poured into large iron box
on wheels with tight cover, to be
used ia refining sugar After the
animal has hung eight or ten min
utes it is lowered, laid on its back
and kept 10 position by iron-pointed
sticks on each side. The hide is ia
ken from the head, The tongue is re-
moved aad the head and horns are
chopped of with ansx, leaving the
horns attached TO the hide, which is
then detached from the belly and
sides; he feet are cut of at the knees
and thrown into another.large box "a
wheels The animal is then hoiste d
by a second wheel, a stou. stick
about four feet long having been
placed in the sinews of the hind legs.
The belly is opened from end to end,
the entrails are removed and denuded
of their fat and the heart aud liver
are taken out and hung on hooks
The carcass is then almost divided,
and hoisted still higher, when the
stick on which it is suspended rests
on two beams running across the
building at every wheel, and it is
slid away from the place Of killing
The whole carcass Is then thorough
Iy washed aud the division into sides

A Pardon Necessary as the Case Stands


Now-What Legal Action May Yet Be
Had.


Some members Of the cabinet enter
tain the hope that Governor Nichols
will pardon General Anderson. This
belief is not shared BY most Of the De-
mocrats in Washington.


The friends of General Anderson
are carefully investigating the possi-
bility Of reaching his case through
action by the supreme court Of the
United States. Those who have con
Quoted General Auderson's defense in
New Orleans have, at every stage Of
the trial, and during subsequent pro-
ceedings, called attention to and re-
served all points that could make the
case one for the United States courts.
Thus far no method Of interference by
the Federal courts has been discovered
which will take the case out of the
hands of the State courts before it has
been carried up to the supreme court
Of Louisiana and has been appealed
from that to the srpreme court Of the
United States The first steps in this
inquiry have brought out the fact that
under the laws of Louisiana there can
be no interference by courts after sen.
tencD on1 during the considerations Of
motions for a new trial, or any other
similar motions. During all this time
a person under sentence must remain
in Jail. Thus it appears that it will be
impossible TO release General Ander-
son except through pardon granted
By Governor Nichols, until the case
has been carried up to the supreme
court Of the State. If then IN appeal
is taken to the supreme court of the
United States, the prosecuting a,tor-
neys in Louisiana hold that a sentcn-
ced man must still remain in Jail until
the fnal decision is reached Upon
point lawyers here are not fully clear;
and tits possible that decision may
be given when the case is reached that
writ Of supersedeas from the supreme
court of the United States may dis
charge the prisoner from the custody
Of the State authorities.


This seems to be the only method in
which the United States authorities
will be able to assist General Ander
son.

Well 1 saw boy do something tn e
other day that made me feel good for a
week. Indeed, it makes my heart fill
with tenderness and good feeling, even
now as write about it. But let me
tell ysu what it was. As l was walk
ing along street Of great city, saw
an old man whs seemed to be blind
walking along without any one to lead
him. He went very slow, feeling with
his cane.


He's walking straight to the highest
part ofthe curbstone,' said to myself.
And it's very high, too; wonder if
some one won't tell him. and start him
in the right direction''


Just then boy, about fourteen years
old, who was playing near the corner,
left his playmates, ran up to the old
man, put his hand through the mans
arm, and said:


Let me lead you acrsss the street.
By this time there were three or four
others watching the boy. lie not only
helped him over one crossing, but led
him over another to tie lower side OF
the street. Then he ran back to his
play. Now, this boy thought he had
only done the man a kindness, while |
knew tha. he had made three other
persous who had stepped to watch the
boy turned away with tender smile on
their faces ready to follow the noble
example lie had set them. l know that
felt more gentle and forgiyins toward
every enc for many days.


Another one that was made happy
was the boy himself. For it is i'm
possible for us to do a kind act, or to
make any one else happy, without being
better or happier ourselves. To be
good, and do good, is to be happy
This is every ones mission here in this
world. Then again, the kind OF boy
you are shows the kind of man you are
going TO be. Ifyou arc kind, gentle
boy, YOU will be a generous, benevolent
man

AND IT WAS HIS DAUGHTER.-Dr.
Lyman Beechcr, at temperance meet
ing, related the following anecdote:


a gentleman walking the streets OF
London saw a frightened horse with a
cab running down the street with
tremendous fury, and little girl in the
middle Of the street, who might in
an instant be killed.


Forgetting his own salcty,he instantly
rushed to the child's rescue, snatched
her IN his arms, and bore her to the
siaewald, when the thought struck him,
how would the parents OF this child
have felt had she been killed. As he
set her down he looked her in the face
and it was his own daughter. Little
do parents, said he, know when they
are resculng children from the drank
ards path, how often the one saved

Correspondence New Orleans Times.


Now that it is announced that the
treatment of yellow fever is empirical,
it may not be out OF place to publish .
mode of treatment that has been prac-
liced since lS49, and particularly dur
ing the epbemic of 1853. and although
it has been applied to over 100 cases
by the writer, be has never failed TO
cure the patient.


Among others, particularly call the
attention of boatmen to the cases Of
John d. Hodges and Andrew K. Har.
Jfl, both Of whom ere cured by the
treatment set forth. The first symp-
tom Ct the disease is costiveness, the
second pain in the head, also in the
back, precisely as in fever and ague,
only more severe. The costiveness is
not always a sign Of fever, but in
rrery case that has come under the
observation of the writer, it has pre-.
ceded the pains in the head and back,
and my experience date back to 1888


Treatment begin by warm mus
tard aud salt bath of the limb, rub
hing them well to draw the fever as
much as possible to tie lower ex,rem-
iiies and away from the vitals, and if
the fever is increasing place q mustard
plaster between the shoulders as high
as possible to draw the fever from the
head, and another on the pit of the
stomach to draw it from the stomach
This is exterior treatment.


The interior treatment is as follows:


A beapiug teaspoonful OF grohnd
mustard and teaspoonful OF common
table salt well mixed in tumbler OF
warm water, given as in enetic, if the
first dose does not operate in ten min
utes give second, and in extreme
cases a third. When the vomiting
commences give as much warm water
as the patient can drink, so as to cause
the vomiting to be easy, until nothing
comes up but clear water. If but lit.
tie has been thrown up second vom-
iting may help. AS soon as the vcm'

of mustard aud salt in cold water as
a purgative, aud give the patient all
the cold water be wants to drink, but
carefully excluding draft, allow Q
free ventilation from one side of The
room. 1t may be necessary in ex
treme cases to give an injection to as
sist the action Of the purgative. The
action Of the emetic is to cleanse the
upper portion Of the bowels and the
purgative the lower. The mustard
acts as a counter irritant, and drive:
the fever from the bowels to the sur
face The salt purifes the poisonous
matter and acts as styptic, closing
the small blood vessels that line the
stomach, which, being cOrroded by
the poisonous matter contained there
ID, empty their contents iuto th,
stomach and produce the blact vomit
With this treatment. as soon as th,
bowels are opened, the fever begins
to abate, and in forty-eigbt hours il
will leave the patient very weak ant
out of danger Of relapse, unless h'
should take cold.
