~DISEASED CATTLE. Professional SIop—Feéders in the West Fattening Cattle for the East. qhe East St. Louis Supply—Xept in Filthy Pens, and Fed on Dis- tillery-Refuse. ‘ Hore Osttle at Blissville, I I, to BeKilled —English Blooded Stock Quarantined, -~ (Corresgonaence New Tork Merall sz, Louis, March 2—Tt has been known for some time that slop-fed and diseased cattle were shipped from this point to the Eastern markets and there disposed of as zood-conditioned Texas stock. This evil has been steadily growing un- Gl tt bas sssumed so startling & mognitude-that only prompt and strong measures will enable {2 suthorities to put & stop toit. Your corre- ent visited the stock-yards ‘at East St ZLonis with the view of ascertaining, if possible, e extent of this evii and the number of cattie {hat have been held over at this point to fattcn for thie Edstern market, but owingto the shrewd- pessof buyers the feeding of slops is not carried onjn the yards, the owaers baving found from nee that it materislly affects their sales; copsequently 8 pew ‘class has sprung up iled professional feeders, who carry on their _ work more success{ully and lude detection, ship e cattle off to ontof-the-way places, ° reship them to 1he stock-yards after putting them through the fantesing process, and send them East in mixed Jots with ‘through shipments, thus preventing evenafafr estimate of the number of slop-fed flock that is in this Way thrown on the Eastern parkets. Beer slops and what s called “chop™ fecding was carried on to 8 larre extent yight in {he stock-yards until owners found that it dam- aged their sales. P TOW IT 1S DOSE. Assoon s a lot of Texan cattle sre brought jata the yards the best appearing and most sala- aare quickly disposed of and shipoed off with- i trenty-four or forty-eight hours, but the pealthy cattle that the East receives in this way e 8 terrible offsev in what follows. After the vard is pretty well cleared then comes the professlonal feeder and bays up all the poor and Jisessed cattle and the odds and ends of unsala- blestock, petting great bargains, as the owners are gied 1o et them off weir hands at any w WHERE IT I8 D At sn expense of mich time “and labor your carrespondent at last ferreted out thé Jocation of theze feeding quarters and discovered that the businese 15 carried on to a large extent at Greenville, Vincennes, and even up asfar as Peoria. - Wishing to sutisfy himself of the con- dition of the cattle and the estent to which it was carried o, he took an early train yesterday and visited the sheds of one A. H. McNeil, Tocat- i a1 Greenville, Boud Cuunty, some forty miles porthrof Be. Louis. 'The condition and surround- fs of the cattle there fouud was enough to brecd disease, even if tney were fed on whale- spme bay and corn. In three long, nerrow sheds there was an average of 150 cattle crowded into narrow stalls, witk ne space to move about in, breathing the same air over and aver acain, a8 nomeans for ventilation were - provided, and filth reizned supreme. Long troughs run the full Jength of the speds,..snd. present almost as filihy an .appearance .as the floors and sides of the: wall—slimy, steam- ing, and actuslly rottiur; these trouzhs are filled twice a day with beer-slops and cuop {eed, which the cattle Jearn alter a time to de- vour ravenously, 88 mo corn or hay is given them during the whole fattening process, which generally lasts from two to three months. FRESH ARRIVALS. * While your correspondent was Jooking through 1he sheds a small berd arrived that were easily recognized as Texas cattle. They were thin und poor and apeared weak, either Trom starvation or. discase, and unable to carry without totter~ ing the weight of their enormous orns. They were' separated and driven inio a vacant shed, and-ench assigned = suali, 8 r.ij% he feed- SEE O By process commencéd: s _snd bran mixed was cmptica into the wmmon trough from barrels. Althouch they bsd not undoubtedly besn fed for forty-eight ‘Yhours, auc from fosutlicient food while in tran- &it, oresented a half-starved appesrance, they ‘merely sniffed_st the vile mixture and utterly refusea to touch it, some of them Iying down as £000 a8 they were driven into the stalls, to be quickls prodded up with the long poles'in the Dands of the men who bad them in charre. They are penned up in this way several days before they will touch food at ail, but as soon as they do'commence to feed ou it it is surprising how rapldly they fatten up and the .bealtby appear- suce they present. The are kept in these close sheds where po pure air can reach them for two and three months, kept in 2 Althy and diseasc- breeding condition aud fed on nothing but dis- tillery refuse and beer slops until they present abeaithy and fat appearance, when they are re- shipoed to East St. Louis and there sold from the stock-yards as fresh and_healthy Texan cat- e, mixed up with vona fide shipments from Texss and Colorado. . UNDOUBTEDLY DISEASED. In this way there are daily shoved.on the Eastern merket from S00 to 1,000 bead of cattle that’ are undoubtedly diseased, so- intermixed with good condition stock that it is impossible o separate them after they reach the East. This is very easy 1o do at this end, there beiug Do veterilury surgeon at the yards, and no effort is made before shipping to separate and examine even what are known to be mixed Jots, aud, 85 8 copscquence, it is safe to say that all are dore o less diseased by the ime they reach New York. y This nefarious proceeding is mot confined to up-conntry buyers, but is also practiced by the origingd owners. They come lere daily with a miserable-looking lot of cattle ‘with tlie inten- tion of holding them over in the East St. Lowis Jards for the” purpose of slop-fattening, but When they find that bayers sre becoming too barp to be imposed on in this manner they as- ign them to the out-of-town feeders, and make fome amijeable arraugement .whereby it will be covered up when the caitle are: returned to the Jards that they have been still-fed. : ‘ THR DAILY SUPPLY. - There are to-day in the ‘stock-yards sbont 500 Head of stock that from all appearance are half- starved, and in all probubility would not out- Lrea jonrney to New York in , their present tondition, but in & day or g0 they will be bought 2pand shivped off to some unwholsome feed- inz-pen, and in a couple of months will be Te- b ina fattened condition, but with disease in every pore from the close quarters, filthy sur- roundings, and utter lack of care while under by tbis economical plan; the actual exceeding per bead, and 08t mot fully 300 pounds arc added to their weipht. ere were shipped vesterday 970 head, a T8¢ percentage of which were undoubtedly re- dled here, and have been penned up for Feeks and fed on distillery refuse, This thi i £oing on every day, but, asa matter of cours elkepp very quict, and all operations are 50 uu- lerhatrded that it is impossible to get at reliable Egnxeflsxa:nm ;%':a auu'.lll il;linmems, or the num- and cattle_that are shipped in the widst of through lots.

The Jarge boonets to be introduced with the first warm days of spring are not the flaring coronet shapes lately worn to frame the face and surraund it as with 2 balo. The new wide brims extend forward as well as upward, and begin to widen at the point where they first leave the crown, just. as the old-time scoops and poke-bonnets did. This widened brim is faced inside with shirred satin or with smooth dark vetvet, or else with the daintiest india muslin; this facing begins an inch or less from the edge of the fine braid, which is left bare, and has no wire in it, and the extreme edge of the facing Is often visible from the front. The wholesala houses bave imported these laree boonets in the varlous stylish braids, + buntiug of sfugle width; 1t co straws, and chibs, and the milliner indents the brim according to her fancy, or to suit the face of the wearer. Ladies who trim their own bon- pets will find the trimming very simple in ap- pearance, yet not very easyto adjust. The shirred facings are easfest for the inexperienced trimmer; they are cut bias, and are drawn {nto the shape of the brim by the manyrows of draw- ing-strings that constitute the shirring. These shirrings are usually of light-colored satin, es- pecitlly cream and tea shades, the latter being the delicate tint of .the tea-rose. The dark vel- vet facings are, however, more becoming, es- pgchuly in the dark garnet and Prince of Wales” red shades that are most used this season in conjunction with tea or cream color; next to these, zendarme blue,sapphire, bot- tle green, and black velvet are preferréd. The velvet facing also leaves 2 bare edge of the un- ‘wired brim, and this edge 13 sometimes double of the bratd. With the red, ereen, or black vel- Vet facing the outside of the bonnet will bave some cream-colored satin laid i irregular folds or loops down the right side of the crown, while on the left Is a single long thickly curled ostrich plume of the same shade: this may begin below the crown and curl up the left side to the satin on the top, or elseit may berin at the top and hang straight downward. ~ Stiil other bats with garnev velvet facing have simply two long cream-yellow plumes beginmag be- Jow the crown and curling up to the top, thus surrounding it. To dispose these plumes gracefully, to prevent the satin fold and loops from Jooking stiffly regular, and to bave the facing smooth, are necessary items that are not as casily done 8s would seem at 8 elance. The large long-looped bows are now worn further back on the bonnat, behind a wreath or branch of large flowers thickly clus- tered, or else they are quite fn the middle of the crown. ‘The white bonnets are made especially dressy by the doubled strings of Breton lace. In the smaller cottnze boonets the face is trim- med like those described, and the crown is sur- rounded by a close wrenth of flowers, or of moss, or of foliage, or else the three Ieathers of the Prince of Wales are used with some loosely. knotted satin ribbon. Among the new ornaments are straw beads strung in fringesand in patterns as zalloon. ‘I'he tinsel galloons arealso shown in colors dusted with silver or with gold. Brazilian beetles are mounted on brooches or in sprays, with gilvsetting to ornament the brocades of green-blue shades, and also the white chip or braid bonnets. The white crystals are brilliant in silvered settings in buckles, brooches, eres- cents, and bees. 'The jet ornaments for black lace bonnets are the handsomest vet finported, and will be largely used again. For the inside of a close cottage-shaped black lace bonnet isa row of graquated jet balls, growing Jarger to- dard the middle, that would snswer very well for a necklace, vet makes a very pretty coronet. ‘T'o bind the edize other brims are black net galloons embroidered with jet beads, while for the outside of the crown are larze butterties of jet, crescents, leaves, and rings. The ornaments made of feathers have been described. : Brocaded ribbons are shown in Jupanese de- signs delicately tinted, and so artistically done that they look Tike water-color paiutings. “These are beautiful on the Tuscan hats for the water- ing-places. Rustle straw bonnets, to be worn with morn- ing and tr.veling suits, show two or three bright colors mingled with the black or brown braid that forms the greater oart of the bonnet. For country use are yellow straws with satin-like Justre, trimmed with brocaded red and yellow zuuze ribbon, forming an Alsatian bow behinda. Buneh of scarlet popples. ‘The black nei bounets are most often all olack, with jet ornaments, jet feathers, and biack Breton lace fur trimmings; the material of the bonoet s Brussels mnet of very small meshes, without dots, laid smoothly over the frame. Whee colars are used on them, they are new tea shages, old-gold embroidery, white or Priace of Wales red. - For black chi boonets a Prmy model from Tuvee’s has the flaring brim ined” with black satin, on which is laid quite smoothty black lace embroiderea with old-gold silk to represent leaves. Outside are folds of black satin Jaid careiessly around the left side of the crown, while at the top of the right is a group of four very small black tips, from which bavgs a jong black plume down to the shoulder. ‘The corbination,of colors most seen is that of dark red with cream-color; this arraugement is as popular for the blondes as for the bru- nettes, by whom it was originally used. The -pale Scvres blue is used with tea-color, and to these i3 sometimes ‘added Jacqueminot red in the way of roses or buds not quite blown. The gendarme blue looks well with red or withcream- color in_brocades. *A .graceful round hat of white chip turned up oo the rizht side has the brim faced with 'gendarme blue velvet, while around the crown is o searf of blue and red bro- cade twined in with the blue velvet; one long blue plume is on the right side, and a red bird is perched in front.

Hence its wondesful power and its quict, yet unfaltering, unchangiog operation. Its bawmediate nction is to absorb from the system all bilions, walarial, or medictnal pois- ons, a3 wetl as all disease exlsting there, and send through the pores a hesithy, gentle, vezetable tomc Into the systern by way of the Circuiation ¢xactly where needed,—the vital point, ~being Slaced over the stomach and liver and centre of the nervous system which pervades the digestive orzans. ‘Che stomach and liver being thus restor- ed to Iealth, they are in condition to perform their functions in a_thorongh manner, and thes then prepare the food 0 us to muke only pure blood zood biood. This being uistributed to every part of the 5v8Lem, furnishes to every organ and fune- tion proper nourisbment or nutrition. and they are restored to thewr normal action and the whole cody 18 restored to health. Thé effect thus produced I8 so clear, cer~ tain..and permanent, and the method so ?Illn and common sense, that it_ commends Itself to every intelilgent mind. Here darkness and ob- scanty cease, and all is clear as the Jight of day.

For children of any nge, this 13 the one treatment that should and will supefsede allothers.” Her child wus restored to heaith by the Pad when given up to die.
