The Iimois Humane Socicty bas had its atten- tion called to the fashion of nicking and dock- ing horses, much in vogue a good muny years ago, but-which fell into disuse, and which is now being revived again quite extensively, it is maid, at the East, and to some extent in thi3 city. While satisfied that the practice is cruel sind barbarous, and utterly indefensible on any principle of practica1 utility, the Society bas de- sired to present some experttestimony upon the subject, and to this end it bas requested Dr. N. H. Pagren to prepare the following article upon the subject for publication in THE TRIBO g To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. C1¢AGO, Feb. 16— Cruel or not cruel?” the question. That there can be a sb Al Philadel- deposits subject to check at. onically appear a perfeetly absurd ldea. Ttis remarked in the play of * John Bull, js justice, Mr. Thornbury.” This is scif- and that cruelty is cruelty is equally cruclty to a purticulur object is not sily detined as it muy be suppesed 1o De. An utrocious act of barburity can admit of Dt onc construction, and can cxcite but one feeling tn any commonly well-regulated mind, and that feeling must be one of uninitigated ub- horrence and disgust. ‘That there are stages of cruelty. we learn so loog aro as the time of Ho- garth. axd that those stages are still exhibitea and practiced, even in these days of refinement, our every duy’s experience and observation zre auite suilicient evidenoe. Many things are, ho ever, daily done. and others left ‘] of crucltyare intlicted by and omission _where nouc were really ‘and at the sume titne many things aro done that Yoar the appearunce of cruelty that really can- not admit of such a construciion when properly investizated. The really eficient method 10 cause a reform in' the matfer of cruelty exercised upon animals 1s not by attempts at suppressing, but by mak- ing public the disgusting facts: by instructing hé ignorant, reminding the thoughtiess, and posing the hardened delinquent; above all stronzly recommending 1o parcnts tho indis- pensabie duty of instructing their chbildren in this essential branch of morals. While the so- i vention and suppression of e ish- ment they are permitled toinflict is so tritling that the desired end is not attained to one-half tho extent it mizht be. Only A short time ago we were apprised of the fact that anoperation upon borses known by The pame of *nicking,” and which alteady many Tears ngo ceased to be practiced, had a prospect of coming into uscagain. Weare not aware that it js practiced in any otber city than Chica- #o: huta beginning &eems to have been made here, and. as might be expected, in a gale stable. For the information of those of our readers who ‘are not familiar with stable phraseolozy, it may ‘be explained that picking consists in an opera- - tion upon the horse’s tuil, the object of which is to mako the horse carry his tail well elevated. Twoor threecdeep incisions are made on the lower surface of the tail; the muscles by which it it depressed are divided, and a portion of them cut away. The wounds are then kept open for several days, and the 1allis kept in glevaton by means of pulleys fastened to the.ceiling, and a weight attached to tne end of the rope. The result of a successful operation is, that the horse always carries his thil erect. The depressor muscles baving been mutilated, the poor horse is forever deprived of the use of his tail in 1 downward dircetion, and during the summer months, when tlies abound, heisdoomed tocndure thesufferings which these inflict; and, while he miay be ahie to brush the fifes away from his back and sides, he is unable 10 reach them under the abdomen and between the hinder limbs. Other incouveniences might ‘be mentioned a8 & result of this barbarous und utterly useless operation: but the fact that the horse thus' operauted upon, whether at work or at resc, must endure the torture inflicted by flies during the summer months is, in our opinion, sutlicient ground for ‘pronvuncing the operation of micking an act of cruelty. The operaton is condemuet by all re- spectable authorities on the horse. We have be- fore us books in the. English, French, German, and Scandinavian Innguagzes in which we find 1his practice condemned s prutal and crucl. It is our opinion that the man who will sub- Ject his borse ta be thus mutilated « d share ihe odium which a discerning public will not 1ail topronounce agalust the unprincinied brutes in human form who, for the ' sake of fancy or a small pecuniary guii, do not hesitate to “intlict torture on an animal which can feel as acutely as themselves. While the better class of gociety condemns this practice, its perforinnee is wit- nessed and sactioned by aring of fat-headed, ‘uncopcernea, unfecling boobics who appear 10 ‘be incapable of moral retlection. & N. H. PAARES, M. D, — SELLING LIQUOR .TO. MINORS. The Citizens’ Leaglie for tho Suppression of tho Sale of Liquor to Miriors are making great headway witk their worl. Only a fow dass ago they published quite a long list of offending sa- Joonkeepers who bad been found guilty of vio- -Jations of the Minor laws, and iere elther fined or held under bonds to the Criminut Court, and yesterday the following offenders were ar- Fatgued before the Courts: Before Justice In- gersoll,—Arelia Kubisch, 630 West Poll: street, setling liquor to minors; fosnd guilty, 20d held 0 the Criminal Court under bonds of S200.

FINANCIAL. Stocks opened with a continuance of the down- ward movement thst begun the afternoon be- fore. Floods of discouracing dispatches poured into Chicago, tha result of which was that Chi- cago operators bought about twice as many stocks as they gold. Oue New York bank was reported to have accumulated $4,000,00 {a legal- tenders with which to take up its circulation in case the 3percent Funding bill passed. An- other dispatch reporied the rumor that Jay Gould was - overlonded with stocks, and that Vanderbilt had ceased to be a bull. The report -that Gould and Garrett had obtained controt of the Reading was denied. Witn all this pressure of rumors there was very lLittle pressure of stock, and tho decline in quotztions was at no time serlous. The raid was severs enough to make it likely that the attempt to depress prices will be re- repeated. If this is the case, the market will probably be unsettled for several days. Some of the best opcrators are calculuting upon o more active speculation in stocks during the next four months than has ever .been seen in this, country, provided the 3 per cent bill passes, and thore is o catastrophe. Asto the proba- bility of floating a 3 per cent bond, the Valance of oplnion inclines in its favor. - Chi- cago dealers In securities report constant in- quiries for the 3 per cents. A United States 3Jper cent will sell highor tbana Chicago 4 por cent, now worth 102@103, just as a Government 4 percent sells higher than the Chicaxo 5 per ¢onts quoted at 108. 1t was said that if Gonld had not come to the rescue yesterday there would have been an ola- fashioned panic. Notwithstanding the handsome recovery from the lowess prices of the day, most stocks closed with losses as compared with the closing prices of the day before. The changes were as fol- lows: DECLINED. 1 Manhattan Elovated Union Pucide... Iron Mountain *|Chesupeuke £ X O {Denver & Xio Grand Del. & Hudson.. New Jerzey Central ..

Co Pucttie yiatl I 8 il s s 4 In Government bonds in Chicago, the 3.6is were 1023 hid and 1033 asked; the 4s, 118% bid and 114 asked ; the 4135, 1125 bid and 1125 asked; the 5s, 1003 bid and 101 asked: and the 63,1013 DbId and 102 askdd. At tho close the 4s were 3 weaker. Now thatCongress seems dlsposed to pass a Funding bill during the present session, many investors are busy with their pencils cal- culuting the reiutive value of the present 4s and 4%s ns compared with whatever uew bonds may be lssued if offered at par. The question with them is whetber it will be more advantageousto ‘buy the present 4s and 4%sat present prices, and 10 exchange now their 5s and 6s for elther of these issues, or to await the issue of the new bonds. Assuming that the new loan will be 3 per cent, or that, if 3% per ceat, the Govern- ment Wil at the end of five years refund into a3 per cent hond, the values carefully computed would stand thus: The 3! per cents, having five years to run, would yield a net income of 3 per cent on the investment if purchased at 102.31. The 4}¢ per cents, having ten and a half years to run, would yield 3 per cent net income on tho investment if bought at 113.43. Tue .4 per cents, baving twenty-six and a half years to run, would yield 3 per cent net in- come on the investment if bought at 116.19. From this comparlson it appears that on the basis of 3 per cent annual net income the differ- ence in value betweena 3% per cent bond hur- ing tive years to runand a 4% per cent bond having ten and a half years to runis1L.12, and that the difference in value betweena 34 per cent bond having five years to run and a 4% per cent bond having twenaty-six and a half years to run is 15.83, or, in other words, that the value of the 4!¢ per cents would be 111.12, and that of the 4 per cents would be 115.88, ns compared withn 3% pbr cent bund at par. Provided the new bonds should bear 8 per cent, and assuming that at this rate they might run for periods equal to those of the 4138 and 4¢, the equivalent value of 43 per cent bonds would be 113.43, and of the 4 per cent bonds 116.19, as compared with tne 3 per cent bonds at par.. Forcign exchange was weak again. Sterling posted rates closed at 48314 and 486i4. Bankers' actual rates closed at 453 for sixty-day bilis und 485 for demand.

The Comincreial suys: * The flurry about the 3 Eer cent Funding bill, which some of our wise anking people attempted to get up this morn- ing. has about passed over. Therc is not the slizhtest doubt that the Government will get all the moucy wanted to pay the bonds of 1881 at per cent. The whole $300,000,000 of one year Treasury notes could be subscribed on the New York Stock Exchange next wecek if the notes were tendy and offered at face value. This, with $200,000,000 of cash balances in tbe Treas- ury constantly increasing, would settle all the bouds without a dollar of refunding, and, if we are not greatly deceived, this will be the gollcy of the new Administration, There will be no 5-20 bonds fssucd under the bill if there isany sort of hesitntion manifested to excbhungo them for 5 per cents. . At the closc of the day the firm of H. W. Nason & Co. was unnounced suspended. REVIEW OF THE WEEK OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE. The tailway and miscellnueous specutation was aetive and buoyant carly in_the week, and great excitement characterized dealings, which were on an enormous scale. The advance ranged 1 to 12, New Jersey Central and Readiug leadiug tho upward movement. After these stocks the most important adyance was in Southwestern | shares, Northern Pacilic, Oregon Navigation, and Paclfic Mail. Toward the close there wis i marked change in _the temper of speculution, and prices declined 1 to 7 frow tho bighest polut, while, still later, a partial recovery cusued. The carly advance in gtocks wus stimuluted in a gencval way by tho prospects of tho Funding Bill, while thore were numerans special causcs at ' work. For instance, New Jers Central ndvanced _sharply on the election | of Gould and Dillon to its Dircctory, and ~ the _ talk about Improviog and extendlus the rond. Delaware, Luckawanna & Western Was run up on n theory that it was to Le brought into close aflilintion with the Jersey Cehtral, and tho other coal stocks advanced in sympathy. Reading was given o sharp twist, the tirst on u report that Gould hud obtuined n controlling Intercst, and, second, on @ ru- mor that some of the large shorts were being squeczed. Some of the Southwest- ernshares were advanced on favoruble pros- pects of approxching consolidution. Nurthern Pacitic was run up rapidly. on an anoouncement that the purtles in the “interest of the Oregon Haflway nnd Navigation Company were buying a controlling intercst, (hich also cansed « shurp riso in Orezon shares. Pacific Mail was put up, it is suppused, on u preswinption of an existng * short Intercst, aud talk about large earnings. Chattanvoge and Rio Grande shares rose largely on agitution of @vi- dends. The decline lute in the week was due chietly to a misapprebension regarding tho operation of the Funding bili, although reports about Vanderbilt's illness, together with saies to realize protits, had something to do with the reactlon. In final dealings there wad a marked recovery from the lowest prices of the week, and a stronz market gencrally on the better standing of the Funding biil, a Washington dis- patch statingthat ‘Freasury officials suy there will be decided infiation under its operations. ‘Transuctions, 610,000 shares.

EUREKA, Nev., Feh. 19.—A firc occurred night before Inst in ane of the chambers of tho Rich- mond Mine, which was smothered befure much dnmage was done. Aa_effort is being tnade to create a belfef that this fire was duc to the act of some one comnected with the Albfon Mine, which is in litisution with the Richmond, but the sympathy of the community rather tends to discredit that version of the af- fair, and some charge that the firc was set by the Richmond people, with a view of throwing suspicion on tho Alblon management. The mat- ter will be investigated.

Hog product was unusually active, and grain very slow, the life belng taken out of the latter by the excitement which reigned in pork, lard, and meats. The local hog market was quoted lower, but ‘that was only an {ncident. The real cause was the receipt of news to tho effect that the French Govermment has prohib- ited the jmportution of American ments. This was received Dy sev- eral houses in the trade, and some of them also recelved orders to resell meats previously purchased for export. It was stated that the prohibition docs not extend to Inrd, the cause of the order being fear ot trichl- na,'to which Iard is not llable; but tlic latter was weakened badly in sympathy. Pork felt the blow to even a greater extent than meats, de- clining no less than e per brl. Wheat and corn fell off for lack of demind, and in sympathy with depressing udvices from Liverpool, but were stendy, though &easier, the reeeipts being about . the smallest ever known since the week - of the great fire.

The owners of Roci Island Elevator A notify parties holding warehouse receipts issued by them that they are ubout to replace the old building by o larger one, and desire such par- ties to exchango their elevator receipts for grain receipts of like grade in any other ele- vator in tho city that they select. The elovator named only contains about 50,000 bu of all kinds of grain, and can be easily emptied if the re- ceipts are returned. The intention is to buiid a bouse with capacity of ubout 1,500,000 bu, and to have it ready for use by the time the new wheat crop begins to move. “The visible supply of corn at the close of the bu larger than reported. It is claimed tbat the true total " snould be 16,093,000 bu.

CmrcaGo, Feb. 10.—The testimony given in Springfield in regard to tho grain inspection of Chicngo includes several remarks about In- spector Link £nd his habits which, I think, do an Injustice to one of .the most ablo assistants on the Inspection force for years. Having ilet John Link for a number of years almost every day while attending thedinspection of grain consigned to my firm (C. Gerstenberg & Co.), while T wis & member of tho’ same, T have uever seen Jobn Link drunk or full of liquor, I have never seen Jobn Link drink, but eredit bim with sutlicient good sense to take astimulant for the benellt of his health, when being out ull day in cold und wet weather. i The inspection of barley will never be satis- factory to everybody. there beingz 'too much scope for an honest dilference of opinion among buyers u3 well as among receivers and In- speetors, Butin no iustance buve I found In- spector Link without a good sober reason for his gending, when the same did not agree with my opinion. White the greater number of [o- speetors, not knowing anything about barley, were wanting for a_good and “sullicient reasbn < for thelr action, having very often no other ex- cuse for undergrading barley than” that they thought it cume from Milwaukee. Ordinarily, receivers oiferand sell thelr barley by sumple regardless of inspection, this “belng the only to trado In that grain to any satis-¢ facuon. Truly yours; T. J. LEFENS.

Cmcaav, Feb. 19.—A great excitement has Jately arlsen about the varlous adulterations of butter, which is all very right and proper, but we have now fu every family in the whole coun- try an adulterstion which i8 probably far more injurious to health, and certainly a 1ar greater I refer to grape-sugar and glucose; which, as far as I can learn, are used for no usetul pur- pose whatever, but simply for, adulterating sugar, confectionery, honesy, etc. In yesterdny’s issue, in an article taken from the New York Herald, u Chicago chemist says: «] have examined fourteen brands of sugarand tested them thoroughly for impurities. . In twelve of the samples, I have found tin fo the form of a chloride, an active poison. T have ex awmined soveral sirups, made essentially and en- tirely.of ilucose, and-found in ther chlorides of tin, calefuin, iron, and magnesin, and in quanti- ties which made them very poisonous. In one caso & whole neighborhvod Was poisoned, and I was told of one death.” Now, if & person buysa pound of “suine” for butter which contains 64 per cent of lard, he at loast gots a_substance which s Inrgely used as food, and not presumably any more injurious because used as butter. It takes no more to butter his bread with, and, if so artfylly made that he can't tell the difference, ho huls at least onc navantage in the whole transaction,—in that ‘he gets it cheaper. Now, the grape-sugar is not ooly very injuri- ous to health, according totho chemists, but it is aplain and pulpable fraud, because it is not sweet. If it isasweetcning substance of any value, why is jo_not retailled 1n our grocers- stores, by itself, that every one can havea chance to use it as a cheap substitute for sugur? Tt is very well known nobody would buy its overy on who bus seeu it knows it is 8 gummy substance, with a ‘slightly sweet and very disa- greenble finvor, and, ns Isald_before, of no pos- sible use except for adulteration. 5 Unlike the “suine,” it does not bave tho ad- vantage of cheapness to the consumer, for the enormousprofits have so far been poured into the pockets of the manufacturersand the sugar- refiners. A dark grude of sugar, mixed with the white wrape sugar. is raiscd several grades in value, thus maging- it dearer and less sweet, which is adding insult to injllr'g.e And sugar is no cheaper now than it was fore the War, when we got the pure sugar-cane article. Now, a fow_montbs ago the City Council re- celved'u petition, which, if it bad recited all the facts. would have read as tollows: *The undersigned, being about to invest some millions of dollars in an Immense establishment which will be devoted to the munufucture of & poisonous substance to bo solely used to adul- terate the sugar, confectionary, etc., of the Mayor, Aldermen, and their fellow-citizens of the city and the country at lurge, in which thoy will use many “thousaud bushels corn and many barrels of sulpburic acid (oil of vitriol) per day, and in view of the Inrze quantities of water required in sald manufacture, ete., would respectrully petitiolf to be allowed to tap the Water-Works tunnel so that they can obtain -an unlimited supply of water without having to depend on the City Water- Works," ote. i The petition did notrecite all the above facts, but said it was for & glucose fyetory and_sugar- refinery, and was unanimonsly passed by the Council and approved by the Mayor. Much surprise has been expressed that some of our best and most prominent merchaats, and even onc mentioned usa_candidato for Mayor, should be engaged in such A mean and disgust- ing swindle as the manufacture of *‘suine™ (which translated means sow-ine), but, as I think I have proved above, are not the gtucose and the beastly sirups that are made from it, and the grape-sugar that obeats us all, both in health and pocket, far worse and more stupen- dons fruuds? And what must we think of tho miilionmires (and also candidates for Mayor) who are trying to swell their millions at our oxpense in this way? Crrizex. _— ———— DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
