Mr. Hepkins-, of our state, Las Intro duced Inte Congress a resolution call Ing for nn Inquiry Inte the present methods of llve stock transportation. yfe understand his object te be the dove), epment of tlie fact that the federal law, which requires cattle te be unleaded for rest and refreshment after a certain Bumber of hours of confinement In the ears, Is net obeyed ; and te discover why It Is essentially n dead letter, and wbetber a law can be framed that will ecure tlie economic and benevelent object aimed nt in the existing statute Mr. jrepklns' inquiry will possibly re sult in the discovery that the present law la net obeyed because It is Impracticable ; la ether words, It costs tee much. The cost and Inconvenience of transporting cattle alive bits' resulted In their being largely slaughtered nnd dressed In the West for the Eastern and European markets. It apparently will net de te incrcase the present cost of transporting cattle alive. What is needed Is n lessened cost ; nnd the question te l.e solved is as te whether this cm be obtained concurrently with a mere liumane treatment of the beasts. Tliere Id a certalu less In weight and quality, and a hazard te llfe and limb, in carrying cat tle en the railroad, which may be re duced te a minimum by their proper treatment ; and it is possible, perhaps, that they may be carried in a eafe and comfortable way which will recommend Itself by ltsreal economy. If any such way can be pointed out It will need no ether law than that of self-Interest te secure Its adoption ; and until it can, statutes will net readily be enforced which require a costly care of live stock in transit. The alternative of transporting the meat will be preferred, If it can be done at less cost, with all the considerations taken into the account. Stock is needed allve, of course, by our farmers, who feed it sjlely te secure the manure te enrich their land. They will pay for it as long as they can reap this small profit out of the feeding ; but the cost of car riage can net be rulscd by humanita rian methods of transportation above the prlce that they can pay. It is net unreasonable, however, te expect that improved modes tit carriage can put the cattle into the fArmers hands in se much better condition that it will take less corn andcaroeuhls part te fatten them than it requires with the rougher methods of carriage new prevailing ; aud te this consideration Mr. Ilepkln'a com mlttee may profitably address Itself. One of the chief Inquiries of the cum mlttee will be as te the proper cost of transportation of live stock, and the meaus by which only such cost may be charged te the ceusumer', It is alto gether possible that the prlce new paid by the consumer Is quite sufficient te sccure a mere humane and careful car riage than Is new given te the animals e all knew that railroads chaige what they can get, nnd that in such times as these, when there is net freight enough go ureund among them all, their charges are net only forced down by their com petition, but Illegitimate commissions for business are paid by them. There Is an ussoclatleu of se called " Eveners, " it Is said, who get $16 per car lead from the carrier for doing nothing butcontrelling the trade. These fifteen dollars would pay for a great deal or extra care of the cattle. The ceminlttte, while easily discover ing the evlls te be legislated agalnst.will have a great deal mere dltlleulty in ilia covering the remedies. Probably the only efilcleutenu will be te place cattle transportation under a government supeivlsien which will allot te the car- rlers their due share of business at prices anu under regulations established by law. A KAveitiTi: device of some of Maine's auppertf n is te parade him as Garfield's t-ecretury or (date arid te argue that, as the last elected Republican president chose him for his chief cabi net efllcer, this Is geed reaseu why his parly should take him for president Tieifforeneolsr.uher tmfeituuate. As the prinn-al adviser Mr. Illaine led his presldei. into most of his troubles. Mr. Garfield was an amiable man, disposed te pence and nt times laying himself open te tlie churge of duplicity In the effort te accure It. Mr. lllnine's boss nnd bully ing methods would net tolerate such concessions as Mr. Garfield's less crafty and warmer unturu iuduced him te muke -, nnd, ns a consequence, the bar galtia he entered into Blnlne compelled htm te break. If tlie dead president has any true friends left they will net take kindly te the attempt making by Mr. Maine's friends te make Mr. Garfield the Hcape goat for the malodorous ad ministration et his secretary of state.

The Itmult of nn Unhappy Marrtag Fatal encounter lletween Twe En. rcl ateu. James 0. Orubb, a well known farmer, residing in Lanprte, Pa., married a girl named Fannte May about four years age. Miss May was a handseme blonde, who came there llve years age from Philadel. phla. 3be opened a soheol and boeanio a fnvorlle with the male population, but her name bcoame mixed up lu several scandals and she gradually fell Inte dlsro dlsre dlsro pute. All sorts of rumors were atleat as te her charnoter. One was te the effect that she had been the leader of a minstrel treupe. Miss May always maintained a persistent sllcuoe when questioned ns te her past llfe. She llnally lest the friend ship of all lu the vlllage with the oxeoptton of a Mrs. Mabel Hlgbee and young Orubb, who man led her. They lived togethcr happily uutll nbeut two years nge, when they removed te Chicago, where he had scoured work lu n stock yard. One child was born te them, but died a few months after Its birth. Treuble was engouderod botweou the oeuplonnd both took advantage of the loose dlvores laws of Illinois and separa ted. The divorced wlfe assumed her maiden uarue and weut back te Laporte, about two months nge. Orubb remained In the West until last month, when he re solved te ceme bait en his visit te his parents, lle was Ignorant of the where abeuts of his wlfe slnce they separated and apparently took no interest in her. Upen his arrival be was Informed that his divorced wife had taken up her abede in the village. Sunday afternoon, while passing the deer of the heuse occupied by her. be saw M si May sl'tiug in the room with Jehn Sulagnn, a young man residing In the village. The sight enraged Orubb. He entered a saloon and in no very geed humor de manded a drink. He drank tlve glasses of whisky. He then left the saloon and returned te Miss May's heuse. Without kuecking he entered the room and steed before the astonished ceuple. Miss May saw the condition he was in and In a trembling veice asked him what he wanted. He commenced te ourse her and asked her what that thing was delug the re, pointing te Sillagan. The latter arese and told Orubb te get out of the room as quick as pessible. Orubb laughed at him and spat in his face. Sillagan then struck Orubb in the faee with his clenched fist, kuecking him te the fleer. A hand te baud struggle followed, in which Sillagan badly thrashed the divore cd husband. Miss May pleaded with her lever te spare the husband and Sillagan compiled. As seen as Orubb regained his feet he drew n revolver nnd tired point blank nt Sillagan, the ball lodging in the left breast. Sillagan fell te the fleer, and when Orubb saw bis divorced wife fnll en her kuees beside the apparently dead body of her lercr the pistol dropped from bis trembling band. The neise of the fhet bad drawn a crowd of men and boys, who, bating obse.vod Qrubb's actions audbelne I conversant with the history of all the par ties. nunea'rl lout pay and rusbed Inte the room Orubb ran Iute the adjoining room and placed his back against the deer. Upen seeing the unconscious body of Sillagan the crowd grew bolsterous and noisy and some of the boys cried out that the best wav would ba te lynch Orubb. The latter had managed te belt the deer, which for a time resisted the efforts of the crowd te burst it open, but at last it yield ed and the orewd surged Inte the rear room and found Orubb lying en the lloer, bleed oozing from a knife wound near the heart. It is suppased that, fearing im im meditte punishment and horror stricken at the act ha bad committed, be bid stab bed himself te avoid falling Inte their hands alive. A large bladed jackkmfe was fennd at his aide. The wounds of both men were examined. Deth were found te be fatally injured. rirrEKji Lives lest. A l'nlladelpbla Ileand Mark Slnki OB th.

Te this retired home the venerable senator begins coming overy spring, as neon as tbe very cold woather breaks up. He usually comes out from Harrlsburg every Friday or Saturday, returning ou Monday or Tuesday Although his grand son has geticral suporvlsien of the farming operations, he takes an notlve int rest lu tbem himself, and when he is at tbe farm plans the work ind gives his orders te the laborers direct. He stepped in the midst of an interesting description of Henry Clay's cloquence and stepped out te the barn with a butcher when called te leek at seme cattle. " Clay had wonderful command ever an audlence," he said, "no had a voieo hke an organ, and most delightful musie he played en it. But thore," he added, pointing up rrem the dining room table te a portrait or Wobster en the wall, " thore was the greatest or thorn all." His heuse upstairs and dewu, lu halls aud rooms, is a very gallery of pletures, for the most part llfe size portraits of distinguished statesmen, hung soemingly as the notion happened te take him, with out any particular order of nrrangoment. There is ene notably ilne large eugraving of Abraham Lincoln, in the library, and en either side of the 11 re plaoe in that room hang engravings of Governors Hlester and Blgler, small but finely executed. Very many of the men wheaa portraits he has wero his oentemporarios and associates, acr! their faoes looking down at him from Ihe wall frequently inolte him te interest ing anoedoto and reminlscenoe.

He was careful that they should unV be put iu print, hewever, saying iuvariably : " Ne, It might ntiuey him " or " that Is n war oflleo Rcerct." ''When I was nt the head of the war department," he said, " I could soareoly sce whero our general get their soldiers from.
