On the merits of the Lwo varicties the inveetizators can speak for themselves. The anfortunate tendency on the part of the Cit- izens' Asgociation 1o swatbe all the doings, sayings, und’ reports of that body in impenetrable and Egyptian mystery was more apparent on this oc- caston than the willinguess of its members to sac- riice forty- t hours of their valuable time in order 1o obtain a fall, thorough, and searching in- veatigation by & thorourhly representative body.

MR CULVEN though not quite o reticent as s colleague. was guarded in s utterances. However, the general drift of his_remurks was favorable 1o the Bedford stouc, and he uppearcd to lay little stress upon ihe difference in color. In common withall the visitore, he was fatisfied with the durability of the Bedford product, and on this point there” was un entirely unaninious expression of opinion. Lx-Ald. Vap Osdel, alwavs u strong champion of the Bedford stoue, suid that he was fuily eatis- fied of the unwisdom of the county m using Lemont limestone for its holf of the building. ~ He had protested against _this two years ago, and believed it would Le chéaper to raze the presentincomplete structura: 10ty foundations and rebuild with Bedford stone than 1o go on witht kd Walker's article. The ex- veriment at Lomsville had afforded hina practical proof of what he had always believed, namely, tiat the discoloration was merely on thé surfuce, and did not cxiend into the rtone. 1t I3 safe to put the ex-Alderman down as an energetic advo- cate of Bedford. first, last, and all tne time, ARCHITECT BAUMANN favored the reporter with some valuable Informa- tion ju regard to the coustituent elements of the wwo stunex, He had been informed that the Bed- ford contalned 97 per cent of lime and oaly 3 per cent of impurities, while Lemont stone haa only 60 per cent of lime. Yet, carously enongh, the latter when burnt made good ordiuary Time, while the former did not. On this point Mr. 1. advanced « theory of his own, waich need not pe here claborated upon. As to the color e at- tached little umportance to the diderence, which lie thought would ve_scarcely perceptible at firet. The abtion of time and coxl-smoke on the stous might affect thew diderently, but this could be avoided by silicization, which' would render such action even. 'This work muet, however, be thorougaly done, and not given out toany ordinary scalawag who tmight bid $5 lower than & respousi- ble max. Park Commissioner Price coutd not see any dif- ference in the color of the 1wo stones to amount to anything, and was emphaticatly in_favor of ed- tord for the city building. 1f the county had made 2 mistake. or worse, that Was no reason the city should do the same.” On the different buildings in- gpected he bad noticed Lhat the Leanont stoe Tam- inated, while the other Leld its owu for a quarter of u century. MAJ. 4. ‘B WILLETT did not want to_sive his views 83 an cxpert to the public in advance of his report, which lie witl pre- vare at once, aud which will be very brief. In convereation, bhowever, he stited to ihe reporter that he cousidered “the differcuce in color 2 mere trifle, and scarcely noticeable in the 1wo buildings except by o trained eye. He scouted the idea of consideriny the buildings as a_whole, and opined that 3 connecting triumphal arch under the cormces, seventy feet from the gronnd, did not make them’ one. Furtnermore he said that it wouid be impossible 0 view tic builgingasa whole from any point, aod that even on the Randolph or Wadhingion street fronts there would be no visible incongruity or architectural absurd- ity arisinz from the difference in color. 3r. Chiford gave lis views freely and decidedly in faver of Bedford. e was fully eatlstied with the Lonisville test as to practicability of restoring the étone 1o its original color by means of the steel brash at any time, and he dwelt at sowe Jength on the durability of thc Lodford a8 shown in the builaings inepecied. Ald. Knopf surd that he had never made any critical examination of the Lemont stone, -and was therefore incapable of lnstituting a cowparison between that and the Bedrord. As to the latter, he was satistied that it was good building stone, and probably the best they could obtain., And Le wonld talk further after ‘ne had sceu the Court- Hoovse. ALD. RYAN s2id that it was impossible to overlook the fact that a marked difference existed in the color of the two stones. The vuildings at Lafayette had convinced hin of this. and the inspection of the quarry as- sisted in the demonstration, e aamitted the ea- during qualities of the Dedford stoue, and its im- pervicusness to atmcspherie influences, "Ald. Sanders beheved that the duerence in color was not ereat, and thought a very eatis- factory building could be constructed of the Bedford stome. He did not seem very favorably impressed with Lemont stone, and thought that 1t wus 2 pity the county had not con= sulted with the city authorities before they started in, an opinion iu whicl the oter City” Fathers joined. 'Ald. Gilbert was non-committal, and althongh heé probably saw os much as the othors, he kept the recust of his observations a good deal to hii- self. Deyond a general indorsement of the Lied- ford stone us good building material, he would not etate his conclt ms. ‘Ald. Rawleigh viewed the Bedford article favor- ably, but admitted that there wasa difference in the culor, although he could not settle wkether thie was a vital objection to its use. Astothe railroad men, thev were for Bedford to a man, but their interests licIn that dircction. and, 88 ‘they were not members of the Committee. 1t would gerve no purpose to give their views. The geolo- gists atood up for the credit of their own State, as Was natural, but declined o zo_nto any question of the respective ments of Bedford and Lemont limestone. , —— EASTER IN SANTA BARBARA.

Shortall, Yice-President 0. J. Stongh presided, und Albert W. Landon acted as Seeretary. THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT was read by Mr. A. J. Wright, It mentioned the fact that the State had recognized the Socicty and its work, and the enactment of u law zuthurizing the Governor to appoint two State agents for the prevention of cruclty to animals,—one at Chicago und ome at Kast St. Louw,—and it was hoped to cstablish the prccedence that men were to be selected for their abil- ity, and not with refercuce to their politics. T'he reporc slso alludes to the organization of the International Humane Society through the efforts of this Society at Cleveland n Uctober last. The police oficers a1¢ complimented for thelr efll- cientaid to the Society in preventing cruclty to animsle, cnd for pringing ofenders to punish- ment. The Society, throush the umane Journal, ameutions ail humane acts of our police ollicers. COW: The report goes on to say: **We have too little recognition of merit in our civil service; if un ofli- cial err, even in the discharge of duty, he i3 apt to be abundantly blamed—thia is rixhi, too—but for Bome act, oru continuons service in_the line of dufy, ' humanity, it is to be rezretted there 18 provided no fnvortant tanzible pubic recozultion. 1 beg: to recommend the setting aside of fund for the dietribution of meduls for acts of the hisliest hwnanity: care bemy taien, however, 1o preserve their value by the undoubted propricty of their bestowat, A very carnes. effort hus been made by this Society. i which it bas heen ably aided by Dr. De Wolf, the Health Oflicer of the city. and otier phyeicians and_szentlemen, 1o re- form the ternbleabuses now existing—contrary to Jaw a8 well a3 to humanity—in the treatment of mileh cows in the distilleries of this city. If you will consider the fact that several thonsands of mileh cows are tied up_closely in our distillery pes in say October, wnd taken thence, 1o vt elaughtered, inthe May followiug,.without having noved three feet from the head of the pen in all that time; thut during these seven or cizht months ihey have had, daily, a little hay of inferior quali- ty. the feed mainly being the hot refuse of tne stille, which they are’ compelled at first to swallow or starve, and that the milk from shese animals is daily distributed to_our city families,—yon will perceive the neckssity of energetic action. An or- dinnuce has been prosented to the Common Council dirccting that no cows for the pro- duction of milk shall be kept in the dis- tilleries or taeir sheds, and that the ammale Jent by such concern shall be kept in a cleaniy condition, and the drainaze of snch sheds shall not be connected witiithe public sewers. This is the substance of the ordinance asked for by us, and now before the Cominon Council. In explanation of our demand for this legislation, it has been clearly proven by undoubted testimony (and I cite Dr. 1. A, Johnson, Dr. N. F. Cooke, Dr. De Wolf, and other eminent p: ne), that the nse of the milkof cowe fed in distillery pens upon dis- tiliery elops is unnutural. unwholcsome, and full of danger, capecially to children of tender years, 10 which it I3 but reasonable to add that the ‘stom- ache of many children poisoned Uy this upwhole: some food can never afterwards acquire o thor- oughly lenitny vitality. : *In the pursuit of this fnvestigation 1t has been develoned, and I believe fairly, that it is not pos- siole to detect by the microscope alone any impor- taut difference between tie milk oi a distillery-fed cow znd that of one in the ordinary city £tavle on wholesome feed, when the milk i# freshly drawn from each; but bere the differcnce bestns; the in- jurious factor makes rapid strides in changing the character of the distillery-fed milk, and, With ev- ery hour ofter the iirst_four, the differcnce grows 1more and more apparent.

It appears to me that a limit should be made to the number and welght of caztle placed in any one car, and that this would be the nestmost important step for the Society to zccomplish. Some railways, 1 am informed, aliow the fgnurant drover or owner to drive into 2 car as many cattle as nc can crowd fn. and then forcibly drive emaller animals, suca 2s'sheep and hozs, tetween the legs of the cattle, that all tae availadle space may be occupled!

The ruilway offclals clalm to be desirons 1o soive thix question wisely, as do the shippers of stock, but I have little falth in their unalded efforts; the humane and therefore business-like sottlewent of this evil seems far olf. One of the cliel necessi- ties of this probiem is to simplify the legal sieps neceesary to prosecution of offenders. I'assin as our ratlways do, through 80 many States, gov crned by so many different statutcs, we trust that some common law shall be enacted by Congress, under its power to repulate commerce perhups. wiich shall obviate the diflicnlty of etfective legal proceedings. 1 am informed such a law is now be- resented by Mr. Berzh of the New York Society The report goes on farther to eay that the Presi- dent has addressed s communication to the County Jiourd, nsking for au appropriation to aid the So- Ciety 'tn its work. The report alluges to the drinking-fountains ercetedjby the Socicty, throuzh liberal public eubscriptions, and through the cfforts of- Secretary Landon and others, The President hopes to sée the fountains erected in the Seuth and West Parks such as is now placed in Lincoln Park.

A Duss-Meeting of the Eed-Ribbon Reform Clubs of the city was held at Farwell Iail last evening, to which ull temperance workers and others were invited, The speclal object of the meeting was to give Dr. Keynolds, who was instrumental in or- gavizing most of the clubs €ome months azo, a formal reception on his retern from other fields of labor. The hall was not more than one-third Mied, aud, beside the shm attendance, it must have been disheartening to the Doctor. that there wwere very few fnsignlas of the Red-Ribbon faith perceptible in the audience except on the bonnets of the fadice. ‘Fhe first speaker introduced was Mr. Woods, from the Lakeside Ked-Tiinbon Club, who simply eald he was ashamea that De. Xeynolds had not been greeted with o laczer andiencé. The Doctor was fhe father of the movement, and deserved the nd the épeaker's excuse for not speaking ut length was that he had to take a tr to Atlanta, where he is 1o pagtisipate in the ded}: cation of Murphy Iall to-day. Col. I. K. Diller, of the West Side Red-Ribbon Clnb, followed. He apotogized for the small ar- fendance and attributea it to the fact that it was moving-time and that the nigat was nota favor- able ane for public meetinge. The cause, lie #uid, was 25,000 stronz in the city, and the slim uttendance could mot be' coustrued to mean that there was a lagging in interest in the temperance movement, for kiich was not the case, The caure was constantly preading and taking deep root in the hearts of the people. 1t was crowned with the pearly tears of mothers, sisters, und fathers, and was destined 1o work great good in its march onward and upward. F. A, Porter, of the First Red-Ribbon Club, followed in 4 short speech. e was not dismayed ut the attendance, and said that be had always had more real enjoyment when there were few than he had in the larze crowds. IHe was the first person, Jn the city upon whom Dr. Lieynolds had tied the red ribbon, and he intended to preserve It. becamse he wus vroud of it. - He concluded by reporting his Clut ina prosperons condition, and by expressing his gratitude that the temperance work had been inau- rurated, and that Dr. Reynolds had beeu directec to the city. . D2, REYNOLDS was next _introduced, and was reeeived with ap- plause, e said he was present by invitation,and glad to'be there. He had come io join in a tems Perance love-feast, and the meeting wus just larze enough.” He had not come to mafe a specen. bot vroposed to drop o few words of adyi lie had been n drinking man for twenty years, and it was fust four years ago that he sizned the pledge. The ast four years had been the bappiest utha life,and o roally felt thus he was just 4 years old. Leing bappy himsclf, he iwanted “to make others happy in liberating them from King Alco- hol's power. li¢ desired to encourage his hearers 10 5o forwara and work for the temperance caure, and eaid that if only one drunkard had been re- clanned in the city ko far, the laborers had been avundaniy rewarded, Personal effort, he thought, would accomplish far more permanent good than public effort would, and he aavised ditferent Clubs t0 aoply themselves to_the work personally, —Dy going from man to man and woman to woman, —to brudge over the summer scason, and wheu the winter came he predicted that the public interest in the cause would be found to have grestly multi- plied. e did not want to see the ribbon lett off because the meetings were not well at- tended, but urzed that they should °be worn and kept in sight all the time, and that the women, to whom to whom the move- ment owed much of its success, should nut relax their efforte. He closed by saying that, with the red-ribbon on thie outside, and the tove of Christ ou the inside, e caus: wouid continue to go for- ward. ‘The Rev. N, F. Ravlin was the next speaker. e said that his sgupathy was with the moves ment, and his energies consccrated toit. e had worlked for the cause in the pust, and proposed to continue a3 longas he livea, There wus no re- ligion or church for him waich did not take hold of the temperance work, for he conceived the great object of_the church 10 be to save man. [Av- pauge.] Dr. Keynolds had been fifted from the gatter, and now had an_inlluence 88 wide us the world, There were others just es good and a3 able as he still in the gutter, and he wanted to see them lifted out »nd put ou tieir feet.
