CIIICAIIO , Sept , 121. ( Special Teluaram to

mals In ph'iiiH-pnruinoiiln affected dlstltleilcs
mid fauns is to be strictly cnnlcil out In spite
ot protests from Inlcicstcd parties , wim at
tempt to deny contagion. Chairman Pear-
Ron , ot tlnj live stock commission , salil to
il ny :
"We Intend to have every one of UHMH
hlaiightcicd , nnd wo will make separate hi-
Hpectlon of tlio I n n 153 of each of the annuals.
Those whos'i lungs show signs of pleiuo will

Wisconsin , Iowa and Michigan will imaian-
line our cattle ns soon as thi'lr vetetlnurlans ,
who were down here to satisfy themselves of
tlio nutmeof this disease and its pievalonce ,
iiialte their reports. This will piobably occur
within n week. "
Tlio visit or thu commission to tlio stock
yaidsthis morning excited a good dual of
couniiunt , as itis ; thought they had cumo to
examine for contagious plenro among the
cattle kept thuie. The commission Is decld-
udly unpopular among cattle tiiun , soinu of
whom piolcss to believe that the Investigation
Is In i utility a scheme to secure an nppioprin-
tlon to the boaid fiom the state. When It
wns Known that a < | iiaiantlne was expected
there \\as some wild talk about seeming an
Injunction against thu .state autlioiitics to
piuvent any such bur to free shiiunent , hut
nobody seemed smeas to what would be. the
lcstcouise to pursue. Jt was thu general
opinion that any icstrlrtlvo measures would
result In immense. Injuiy to tins trade in
cattle.
.Mr. Irus t'oy made a statement of the eat-
tlemen'H sldo of the matter to a lepoitcr. lie
h.vld : "We had hoped that the commission
would make no attempt to plncc beet from
distillery cattle on tlio market , but they do
lint heein to bo willing to urn lit our leanest.
The lysiilt may bo very disastrous , ns castein
dealers arc always willing to accept an op-
imiliinlty ot stopping hlpment ot dressed
beef fiom Chicago , nnd they will sptead n re-
pint tlie beef fiom cattle with pleuro Is belli. ;
told here , of com.se to our disadvantage. The
iiiiaiautlne , of course , will hint us.
1 think wo have enough trouble on our hands
without that. "
The tioublo with the commission Is , tlmt
t io npmopiiailon b > the leglslntuio Is inade
quate to innKo good the losses. Theie would
nilse , In all piobabllltv , cl.iims which thu
Mate would have to make good. Suppose
this to be so , the commissioners bay that the
next legislatino would blame them tor not
ical 7.mir all they possibly could on tin :
hl.iughtuied animals. The commission is
thus placed In a somewhat itcllcnto position ,
and are uncertain how to proceed , being
placed , as it weie , between two lues.
The commission visited the Chicago distil-
lerv on Illai'kliawk btiect nnd killed a cow
whoso limes wens lotind to bo cle.irly and
fcliongly marked with tlio l.ital disease. This
finds an extra bnidcn to the r.hoady gieat
task of tin ) llvo stock commission. Tin ;
CU ) hu.ul ot cattle at tlio Chicago dis
tillery weie supposed to bo nil right ,
although they were quarantined on Tuesday.
ns a matter of precaution. The owners of
tliec.itric ( rntlii'ied In larwo numbers , nml
wcto Inclined to oppose the vuleilimriiins In
their work. The cattle at this distillery are
all line , Inrgo animals , valued at liom 50 to
SM ) each.
Dr. DeWolf says every bonid , post and
bhlngle , down to tlio minutest sliver fiom the
cow-sheds ot the Phicnlx distillery , must tic
burned to the t'louiul. That , ho says , is the
only Mittslncloiy ttimlgation lor that place ,
The other distillmles aienot no bad. and can
bo disinfected easily.
An evening paper , which has been Invest- !
gating , says that tlio "Kngllsh language If
short of woids which can tie put in pi I in
describing the liightful tilth ot tlio Pliomi.x
cow-sheds. "
At the confcienro betwocn the mcmbeis ol
thu llvo stock commission and the olllcials ol
tlm Stock Yards company tills moiniiiir , Mr.
1'earson said tothostock vard representative'
that the commissioners had decided to kll
nil the cattle now In the Pluenix and
Shtilloldt dlstillcilos , nliout two thousand
head ; that on post-mortem examination nl
deceased cattle would be cremated , and nl
healthy cattle sold to tlio highest bidder
The stock yaids company lepllei
that millions of dollnis would IK
lost to the packing interest ot Chicago it tin
report went out to the world tlmt beef from
the Intccted distilleries , whether healthy 01
not , was being shipped trom Chicago. Mr ,
J'caison then informed thn gentleman thai
the state only had jl'.i.COl with which to compensate
pensato the owners of healthy cattle , and II
nonnot the he.ilthy beef was iitil/ed ! the
stale would bo at nil cxpenso of al

of being able to attend to their business.

woylvo the substance of Itabbl lloiison's
lecture.
This boms the last Sabbath of thn
Jewish year 5010 , ho commented upon the
word "hist , " ns applied in human u Hairs.
Man , presuming too much upon Ills-
vigor , wealth nnd moiitiU attainments ,
thn voice of poverty is unheard , tlio
shrilled hands of penury nro outstretched ,
but presumptuous mini turns n.sido with
disgist mm contempt , lorgetting the
words of the Psalmist , "That mo pusscth
awuy ere we perceive it. " Whilst it is
true that the xc i'-nlm may bo
attributed to Mose.s , written us it is
jn a pensive strain , noverthelesss its
its words nre felt in harmony with the
sentiments of the thoughtful clement of
every generation. Those words nre still
the Key-note to the hiimtin henrt. We
might endeavor to hide the facts of our
ultimate departure from this sublunar
world , yet llioro passes not a day when
wo do not see the fraility of mini.
Often has this melancholy tact been
presented to our consideration ; daily is
our attention arrested , but wo banish
such thoughts from our mind simply bo-
cuuso they tusich us our own itisigniti-
ounce. Were it that banishing thoughts
would turn aside the evil ; couTd want of
reduction make our body immortal , then
might wo be justified in living oblivious
of our end. Hut not thinking , not earing ,
not heeding , render ns not exempt from
change nnd grief nnd the iinupptvlionded
evil will nevertheless come nnd fulfill its
crnind.
A thousand instances cross upon the
mind us uxumples tlmt could verify I hat
there is no stahility in life , no certainty
iu vvorldiy possessions ; whilst wo rejoice
wo arc hastening unto death , unit the delights -
lights wo crave for pass away like the
vision ot the nignt. A man must have
lived without any reflection , nnd no little
purpose , whoso recolloclioo is not stored
"
with many illustrations of this truism ,
Tuke for example the Midden horrlblo
death of Airs. Titcomb , ti ludy who re
sided but n few doors from this very tem

The city of ( Jhnrlnston. Hero the audi-
cncu was deeply nlVucted , when Kabbi
llonson , in a tremulous voice , said : Tlio
best iears of my life I Imvo been in the
south. It was there that I married the
choice of my heart and it was there tlmt
my dear children were born. Many n
time have I neon in tliisuiifoitunnto eitv ,
nnd iimuy u time liavo I hud occasion to
ndniiro the truly benevolent and pious
feoliiur of our co-religionists , most of
whom are descendants from Spanish
nnd Portugese families , who , on account
of religions persecution , emigrated to
tliis country as early as 1(100. ( Tliuru are
reminiscences in their synngogiios show
ing that during Washington's : i [ minis
tration they were already an organized
bony , as President Washington had con
tributed to the building of their lioiiso of
worship , mid now , how lonely sits the
mistress of alloiti ? Ilow ninny' are suf
fering there to-day ? Heio the Kabbi
gave a graphic description of the
mi-jery mid sullerings of the
inhabitants , which had a great ofl'cet on
the audience. Now , if I would havugoni )
to those jieople and wiiil : "Proimro , O
men to iltiy , for to morrow you die , " why
1 would bu laughed tit. I would hayo
been called an alarmist , n croaking
raven , ever crying "nevermoro" . If I
would have gone to tlio woman who wus
burned , and said : "Mndnmo , prepare for
eternity , for to-morrow you will appear
before the Creator , " J would Irivo been
jeered at , And yet , on this last Sabbath
of the year I cannot help but halting
upon the most momentous term in the
vocabulary of thu human term , "Itibt , "
Hero Kabbi Benson dwelt upon tlio "re
gret of remorse" mid tlio anguish which
tlmt feeling causes.
If man would only think that there
must bo mi uiul to Hielr miblmtar u.xist
cnco miieh of the fculings of remorse
would bo stivod.
The husband's heart would not bu las-
ceratod wit lithe coiiscionsne.sb of hurry
ing Ins wife to an untimely gnivo ; no
would imiKo home happier , bo more
tender and forbearing. The parent
would not curse the day when Ins oil'-
spring lirst saw the light of dtiy , as that
oilspnng'H pernicious ways can bo
traced to the neglect of proper
moral nnd horn draining.
The Kabbi spoke nt length upon the
duties of respective relationship. His
lecture was listened to with profound at
tention and had conslduranlo olliiet. This
ib but a faint nttunipl to givu a synopsis.
It is to be regretted that Ktibbl llonson
had no notes ol this instructive discourse :
as a perusal of it in extenso would bu of
bunnlitto many.
