The devil came tip to the earth one day,
And into a court house wended his way,
Just as an attorney, with veiy frrao latv,
Was proceeding to argue the points in a ease.
Now, a lawyer, his ilcvilship never bad seen.
Por to bis dominions none ever had been;
And he felt very cttriniis the reason to know
Why none hud been sent to the regions be
low. 'Twits the fault of his agent, his majesty
thought,
Why none of these sharpers hail ever been
(aught;
And for his own pleasure he had a desire
To come to the earth and thu reason inquire.
Well, the lawyer who rose with visage so
gravo,
Made out his opponent n consunrite knave,
And .bedevil was. uertaiuly gieatly amused
To hear the attorney so roundly abused.
As soon as th" speaker had come to a e.loe,
ThecotlllLil opposing hini fiercely aroe.
And heaped such abuse on the bead of tho
iirst,
That made him u villian. of all men the
worst.
Tims they fuarreled, contended and argued
so long,
"f was hard to dotcrmino tho one that was
wrong;
And. concluding he'd heard quite enough
of the fu-s,
"Old Nick" turned away, and .-oliloquited
thus:
"If what they have snid of each other be
true,
Thedovil hassurely been robbed of hNduc;
lint I'm satisfied now, 'tis all very well ;
Those lawyers would ruin the "morals of
hell.
"They've puzzled the court wilji their vil
lainous cavil.
And, I'm free to confess, they have mud
dled the devil ;
My agents arc right, to let lawyers alone,
For they surely would swindle ine out of
my throne."

THE MATT KIl EXPLAINED.
Hditou ScofT : I noticed in your
ip.sno of tiu'tiOth, an ttrticK- in rcanl to
(liseafecd Citttle, to which 1 would like
to make :i rej-ly.
Tho entile referred to in thnt article
were not shipped from Vermont, hut
citmo from piominunt herds located in
11 suction where there has never been 11
case of pU'iiro-piieumoniti; neither hits
a case of that diseiike been known in
the State ot Vermont.
Cattle shipped from the East via the
U. P. J5. U. have to putss through two
(piaivntine hti.tioiif One at Council
Ulull'rt and one at Cheyenne. At these
places I hey m e examined by compe
tent veterinary surj-eons, and if any
signs of disease are found, t hoy are
held for ninety days.. The owners are
also lctitiired to furnjidi ponilire proof
tliat tiiere in no conlatreou.s disease in
the section of the country from which
they are shipped; that they have been
kept for ninety days 011 one farm prior
to shipment, and that they have not
passed through any infected district
while in traiibit. Failing to till these
requirement!) they uro held for ninety
days, which linn been found by careful
i xperiments to he the longest time re
quired to develop pletiro-pneiimonia
after the cattle are exposed. The usu
al time is from thirty to sixty days.
Thete are other diseases to which
cattle are subject, with symptoms so
nearly like those developed by this dis
ease, that none hut experts can tell
tho diU'ereuee, and they are often de
ceived. Now what evidence have wo Hint we
have plciiro-pneumoniit heie? Not tho
Hlit.li est. '1 ho tumor (it is nothing
mono was started from the fact tlu.1
one or two animals out of over two
hundred shipped here have taken sick
and one of these died, eight months
after lauding in Oregon. The animal
was perfectly healthy up to two months
ago, or for six months after reaching
here. The balance of tho cattle are all
doing tine and show no signs of dic
eato that cannot he found in any herd
in tins Suite. 1$ seems to mo that ono
per cent is a very small loss on cattle
shipped over tluee thousand miles,
with tho grout cliungo in elitnato re
sulting. ' 9
It id well to look out forditoatos, and
we cannot bo too careful, hut oaro
should be taken not to circulate idle
reports wnich may do unnuooHsary
ttiiiiugo to any motion of the country.
