KENTUCKY MULES.

,TH TRANSPORT ONTARIO OFF FOR ZL'LI'-LASD WITH HKR PSCUL1AR CARGO.

From the New Yor* World. On Friday af.ernoon at 4 o'clock Her Majesty's transport No. ly, tormeriy the steamship Ontario o* the Dominion :Hw.\ left pier 14, North River, where (.he nai for the past week been loading, and went to an ancboiage in the North .River. Yesterday she went down the bav and out to sea, beginning her passage to Port Natal, Cape ot Good Hope, laden with 450 mules and their forage for the British servieein the war now in progress against King Cetewayo, of Zuiuland. These are iKt only mules— whioh of itself would make the cargo an unique one—but they are Kentucky mules, which intensifies the .uniqueness, so to speak Irom 50 to 75 per cent. For Iriskv aft all mules are inere is no mule so frisky-as a Kentucky mule. It can out-bite, out-kick and out hee-haw any other muk that can be produced. There are various opinions as to the use that is tc be made ot these mules upon their ariiva ,some holding that they are for draught rposec ami are to be ?.sbigne to the tra f-portation strvice, and o'hers that it is I 1 intent to use them in the oavalrv arm. If the latter be the object the selection it the Kentucky mule is the doet appropriate that could have brei made, home little time will be required to accustom the average cavalry man to ride them, but th«t once accomplished the tnoop will be the most effective in the service. All that will be necessary in a charge is to ride among the Zulus Imd tickle the rnulcs with straws if the cavalrymen succeed in remaining seated they will return victorious to the camp.

The method of embarkation savored strongly of deceit. The side part oi' the steamer was opened and a level gangwaywas conbtructed from tne berth deck to the dock. From the crowd of mules two were selected and induced to loliow a man with a wi»p of straw in either hand, along this gangway and into a stall-like enclosure, the manager of which was well supplied with fodder. No sooner had they ctnered than the door was barred, and in an imtant stall and mules were dropped to the lower decks before the mules had time to kick. Tney were then led to the stalls prepared for them, which are coinlortablv padded. Mr. Henry Bergh, the President of the S. P. C. A., who inspected the vessel, was much pleased with the arrangement made for the comfort of the animals during the voyage. Captain Burt, the veterinary surgeon, who has superintended the selection and shipping of the mules, will accompany them upon the voyage. Except the iorage and water for the mules no other cargo will be carried on this transport but this, with the coal necessary for so long a voyage, is sufficient to fill her full. The passage is expected to extend to thirty days, but the passengers have been provisioned for nearly double that period of time, the daily allowance of each animal being eight gallons of water, halt a peck of oats, one and a halt pecks ot bran, ten pounds of hay, one ounce ot nitre and one gill of vinegar, and they are to have eight meals daily, four feeds of the oats and bran and tbur feeds of hay

As an article of luxury a 'large quantity of carrots have been taken on board, which will be fed to the mules as the attendant surgeon may direct. The start has been made at an excellent time, the northwest storm which has so long prevailed having expended its torce and the Ontario getting "the fitst of a westerly wind and almost certain fine weather with which to begin her voyage. The intention of her captain is to make a courae direct to the southward until he is south of Haltera* ana across the Gulf Stream, after which, at this season ot the year, he will most probably have constant line weather until nearlv up to the latitude of the Cape of Good Hope. By this time it is expected that the Kentucky mules will have got their sea legs on most thoroughly and will not mind a gale or two of wind. The prospect therefore of lat ding the whole lot in good condition to at once move upon the Zulus is regarded as extremely favorable.

CONSCIENTIOUS WITNESSES.

A SAMPLE OF THK TESTIMONY TAKEN AT THE TALMAGE TRIAL. From the Oil City Dlrrick.

The interest in the Talmage trial increases faster than ietercbt on a bank note. In fact, it is expected the interest will be compounded at last, or that the trial will. Our New York reporter is busy taemg down notes of the testimony, and his lirst page presents the lollowing appearance:

Mr. Millard to Mr. Bright, showing witness a paper—"Who wrote that editorial?" "What editorial?" "That one of my linger is on?"

Which finder?" "This finger." "This finger on this editorial.'" "Yes." "What about it?"

Who wote it?' •'The finge.V' "No, the editorial? "What editorial."

"Thib editorial in this paper which I hold up before you, which is headed Columbine and Harlequin,' on which 1 now place this thumb." "You want to know who wrote it?" "Yts." "Why?" "It's of interest to this case." "What case?"

case."

"What Talmage?" "po you know who wrote that editorial?" excitedly. "What editorial?" "The one just showed you." "The one in the paper?" "Yea." "The one you put your finger on first, and then put your thumb on it?" "Yes."

You want to know who wrote it?' "Yes." Witness reluctantly replies, '"I don know."

THE ORATION OF MR. VOORHEES.

MR PAINTS A TERRIBLE PICTURE OF WHAT MIG1ITHAVK BEEN IF* THE REFUBLLCANS HAD NOT BEEN

LOVERS OF ORDER AND JUSTICE. lly telegraph to the N. Y.Trlbuns. Washington, April 17.—Senator Voorhees is a remarkable man and a great orator. His speech this afternoon commanded attention on both Bides of the chamber and from crowded galleries. His democratic associotes add the member* of the Hcuse who came over tohear him, were astonished to learn how terribly thev might have been oppressed by means of the war legislation of the Republicans. Senator Voorhees was not content with assailing the statutes which it i6 sought to amend or repeal by means of the pending appropriation bills, but foun.l whole chapters of the revised statutes which were equally oppressive and teirible in possibilities.

The Senator evidently recognized that little or nothing remained to be done with the legal phase of the pending issue, and he devoted himself to an assault upon the emotions, ot his hearers and the .public. In tliline he always shows himself a master. His own heart was evidently moved to its depths by the sufferings which might have resulted Irora a violation of the laws to which he objected.— He omitted to say what he propased to do when the President's veto should come in and in this connection it is remembered that Senator Hoar's question of yesterday to Senator Beck, concerning the intentions of his party, has not }et been answered.

The Democratic portion of the audience of Senator Voorhees did not wait to hear Senator Teller's story of what he had seen and heard from witnesses who were under oath in Louisiana and South Carolina during the investigation by his committee. It was a good story to place beside the sonorous eflusion of Senator Voorhees and those who read both speeches will learn from excellent authorities both what might have been and what really was done.

Both Senators were warmly congratulated by their respective friends.

Mr. Charley Ray left last night for St. Louis to attend hop given this evening at Masonic Hall by the Telegraphers. All the cities of importance in the Union will be represented by thea lightning slingers, who are about as "jam up" a crowd of men when they get together as anybody ever saw.

OWEN, JIZLEIIOO,

Which point our neighbors ignore in their reply, and try to ''MANUFACTURE" public sympathy on questions of locality, "rich richer, "down east," home institutions," etc. If our neighbors "ready matie or made to order clothing and gent's fnrnishlngs" are made by twelve hands, then their trade must be limited indeed. Do thep make their own cloth and hosiery? According to their standard of justice, they would not contribute one cent to anything that cost labor outiide of this city. Where do their sewing machines, thread, buttons, wollen, cotton, and linen fabrics come from Do they make tham? Don't th*y collect revenue from the citizens here and send it east and purchase every thing except the labor of twelve men "The doctor should take a little of his own concoction."

OUR NEIGHBORS DO .NOT

make their reaby made clothing, but collect their "REVEJMJfit*from citizens here ind*lertd it down east to the jobber and pay jobbing prices: Do the jobbers do business for fun? They certainly charge a profit, and our neighbors add their profit, which brings them right where we stated last week,

"Midd le-Merchants."

We are wholesale manufactures and employ a force of over ONE THOUSAND MEN AN? WOMEN in our factory and stores, and do as large a business as any similar establishment in America. We jcb our goods in sixteen states, and have stores in Indianapolis, (as large as half a dozen stores in this city), Ft. Wayne, Greencastle, Utica, N. Y., Lockport, M. Y., Oil City, Pa., Des Moines, Iowa, Dayton, Ohio, Bloomington, ill., aid Terre Haute. Ve are NATIONAL, not sectional. We run a 'Thousand Men Power Machine," and are not likely to be knocked

power? Who are the wcrkingmen's friends, but those who save them the Middle-Merchant's profit and pay out more money to citizen workingmen than said middlemen? We have no unkind feeling toward the small dealer, but our facility for doing business gives us advantages in the markets of the world that enable us to distance all competition and retail at their cost price.
