DOGS

Some dogs possess a singular knack OF
hunting out any thing that has recently been
in the possession of ,h'ir masters. There
is one ludicrous anecdote of the faculty.
which we fear is 10 good to be true. A
gentleman made bet that a dog would
identify franc that he had thrown down
upon the Boulevards in Paris. Before the
dog had discovered the money a passenger
had picked it up. Presently the dog caught
the scent, and followed the stranger to his
hotel, remained with him all day, and atten
ded him to bed, to the great delight of his
newly constituted master, who was hattered
by his sudden attachment. But the mo.
ment the gentlemen pulled off his small
clothes in the pocket OF which he had the
franc, the dog barked at the door, as if de
sirous to get out. The door was opened.
the dog caught up the breaches, and rushed
away to his rightful master. Shortly at
forwards arrived, all deshabHle, the owner
of the breaches, trembling for purse OF
gold. that lay in the same pocket with the
important franc.-Quarterly Reriew.

SAVING BAcoN.--The usual mode of sa.
wing hams and shoulders is to cut them as
soon as possible after the hogs are killed -
This course makes the meat tough and
strngy. In cool weather they should be
kept on hand just as long as they can be,
not to be in any wise tainted. Then run
them over with molasses or sugar, and lei
them lie day or two.
Then put them into brine in which has
been put an ounce Of salaratus dissolved,
for each ham or shoulder, let them lie three
or four weeks in brine. Smoke them IN an
airy smoke house, and they will be found
tender and delicious.--Albany CuAiUdtor.

HJ1The New York Legislature, by large
majority, have passed resolutions to receive her
share of the proceeds of the sales OF the public
lands, and TO add it 10 the Educational fund of
the State. The Legislature is democratic. Ths
Legislature Of Missouri though protesting to be
democratic, reject this fund. There is differ.
ence between New York democracy and Mis-.
souri, democracy. Which acted the wiser part,
New York, in receiving the money and applying
it TO purposes of education, OF Missouri, in re-
jecling it, and borrowing money to pay her cur.

MEssRs. Benson & GREEN-Lest the public
should think there was something behind the cur.
tain, one OF the friends Of Mr.. McLane moved,
in the Senate. TO re consider the vote by which
he was rejected, as mentioned in my last, but the
Senate refused to re consider. The only reason,
so far as rumor has it, for rejecting his nomna'
ton as Register is that he has, as editor oil the
"Platte Argus" been in the habit Of mangng,
orturing, and mis.printing the proceedings oil
public meetings and democratic documents.
On Friday last, in pursuance Of Joint resolu
tons, the General Assembly made burnt offer.
ing OF the bonds of the State, recently held by
the bank, for two millions and thirty thousand
dollars. 1t was done by Joint Committee
appointed to do the work, in front Of the Capitol,
and attracted quite a crowd Of members and
others, 10 witness the farce If there be any
good spirits that wait upon, and watch over the
deslinies OF this benghted little spot Of democracy,
hope for the salvation OF my country that the
sacrifice may be acceptable.
This day has been spent in the house, nearly
entirely, in reading and passing revised laws
There is a general haste, now manifest every
where, TO gel through with the business Of the
Session, that the members may get home ant
resume their respective avocatons. The return
Of Spring, after the dreary dizziness of winter, Is
already exciting and animatng even while
write, an old acquaintance Of the Missouri river
the Lewis F. Linn, is landing at the wharf
and the melody OF her famous brass band il
cheering and delighting the city.
There will be still further attempts TO create
new counties, with what success, democracy onl7
knows; but unless the General Assembly do thei
work with more deliberation and reflection, critic
may laugh at them. The several laws creating
new counties were made 10 take effect from anc
after their passage, and by the Constitution eacl
is entitled TO one representative; but 1t so hap
pens, so far as l know, that none are represented
here except Moniteau, that having been formed
partly out OF the county Of Cole, took aonI
with the territory, as an appurtenance, both tb,
representatives elected from Cole; and although
a court is now sitting in the county Of Moniteau
as perhaps in many others, no writ Of election
is ordered either for Cole, or any Of the nev
counties-and so we go.
If you have any wing friends in old Horcar
who are DESTROYS Of being in the Convention
, which is to sit for amending, or re modelling tn
, Constitution, please say to them that Charlton
and Howard will compose the Senatorial district
that such is said to be the conclusion of the com
, mttee on districting, though no report has a
yet been made, and that Howard is again to b
buried with the democracy Of Charlton. X.

D-TWith the present number closes the Fifth
VOLUME of the Blooms Lick Times" When
we commenced the publication Of the "T'imes,"
our old subscribers will recolect, we declined
making any promises as to what we would or
would not do, pre(,uing 10 let our acts speak,
rather than make extravagant promises. We
were fully impressed with the arduousness and
difficulties OF the duties we were undertaking.
and had many misgivings as TO the result but as
time wore along, these difficulties, one by one,
vanished after publishing the paper for the
space Of five years, without ever missing single
publication, or appearing on half, or reduced
sized sheet, we think we may, without being sub
iect to the charge OF vanity, say, WE HAVE Sue
cEEDED! At least, no other paper this side Of
ST. Louis, CAN SAY as much For this, howev-
en- we take no peculiar credit 10 ourselves, but
return our sincere and unfeigned thanks, 10 those
kind friends and patrons, who, by their aid
The fact of their continuing with us, shows they
are satisfed-and they being satisfied, demon.
strates our success.
Kind friends and patrons, our arrangements
are now nearly completed for another five years
voyage, and we wish you all, together with as
many new friends as you can persuade or i'm
press TO accompany us-making no promises in
advance as before, as to what we shall say Oh

MARCH 4, 1915.


had almost forgotten that this is the day on
which the solemn form OF naugurating an Amer
oan President takes place at Washington. 1t
is to be hoped however, that the threatening
and lowering OF the clouds, and the darkness OF
the day. are not tokens OF the career Of Presi.
dent Folks administration Of the affairs of the
nation In the great brong now at Washington,
proposing to assist Mr.. Polk, with the diversified
public duties devolving upon him, it would be
humiliating, indeed, to think that the Democracy
Of Missouri should be unrepresented, even
though one Of their Senators has recently shown
disposition TO reject, despise and contemn their
authority to instruct him.
The General Assembly is now becoming cele.
brated for going in Committee OF the whole, in
both ends Of the Capitol. The Senate, TO day,
in Committee Of the whole, had under consider.
alton the law TO regulate interest on money, the
committee on revision having reported a law
similar in its provisions 10 that OF 1925. Mr.
Acock moved 10 amend, by adopting substantially,
the provisions Of the act passed since that,

mttee Of the whole, by the 18th Section OF the
4th article Of the Constitution, was dolcn anon est
the boys, cut and dried, for an opportunity to
show his powers in debate (Mr. O'Bren in the
chair) The Lieut.. Governor opposed the amend.
ment OF Mr.. Acock, with good degree of real
democratic energy; charged that the gentleman
wished to nave the law framed in favor Of the
money lender and the usurer, intimating that he
was one. Mr.. Acock replied, telling of a pri.
vate affair between him and the Lieut.. at the
last session, when the latter had applied to the
former for a loan Of several hundred dollars, but
that he did not have it 10 loan Here the Lieut.,
came again, explained the whole matter and
was much excited; the chair called him to order.

ing for order He explained, however, that he
had borrowed some three thousand dollars or
near that sum, paid security debt, and had still
some left. Upon the whole, this was one OF our
most jolly scenes, The only regret OF specta.
tor is that after having gone so far, they should
stop short OF an Irish rcedding. The amend.
ment was rejected.
The House of Representatives spent the day,
after short time in the morning. for The recep.
ton Of reports of Committees, and The nlroduc.

under consideration the law concerning crimes

CONGRESS.--We have dates from Wash,
ington to the 22d February. Nothing Of impor.
lance has been done since our last. The Texas
debate is still continued 10 the Senate, and the
opinion seems to be gaining now, that the
Senate will pass some plan Of annexation. 1t
is thought the house resolution will not be passed,
but that the Senate will adopt some other plan.
If the Senate pass new plan, it will, OF course,
have TO go through the House. Senator Merrick
Of Maryland, contrary to expectation, has come
out in favor OF annexation. We sill incline 10
the belief, however, that Texas will not be an
nexed at the present session. The Oregon ne.
gocation has not yet been concluded.
The General Appropriation Bill has passed
the House. An appropriation is made in
this bill for rc.furnshing the Presidents House,
and an amendment adopted, requiring the Gurn.
ture to be OF American Manufacture. The post.
age and Oregon bills are yet undisposed Of
The President sent in a communication to the
House on the subject of the Slave Trade. He
has received information that Americans and
American Vessels are engaged in the Slave
Trade, connected with British capitalists, to a
considerable extent.
Washington was crowded with distinguished
locofocos and loafers, filled with enthusiasm, 10
co(ocoism-and whiskey. They desire TO see
the new President fairly Installed, when numbers
OF them, no doubt, will volunteer to assist him
in the discharge OF his arduous duties, in any
manner that he may designate.
The PUBLIC PRlNTNG.-W are indebted
to our worthy representative, Col. DAVIS, for a
copy OF the report Of the majority and minority
OF the committee on public printing. The leg.
isaure, to reward their partisan editors have
given them the printing OF the laws, journals,
elcetera, at an immense sacr fee TO the State.
The loose manner in which they have let the
printing out, leaves it optonary with the contrac.
tors to swndle the State ad Abitum-and when
it is recolected the legislature, in the start set
them the example, by swindling the State out OF
$1,000 in the article Of paper on which the print,
ing is to be executed, it is presumable they will
not be backward. They allowed the contractors
90 days 10 execute the work, when others pro.
posed to do it on the same terms in 3d. The
publication of the laws will be delayed 60 days,
and the State, in the end, will have to pay TWO
prices, for inferior work, to keep their dirty
squrts above the water-and all in the name OF
democracy
