Tar yHro OF THE FREBDMEN's BUREAU

THg VRTo OF THE FREBDMEE's BUREAU
BILL.-The Presidents veto message,
cent into the Senate on Monday, occu-
pies some three columns in the New
York papers of yesterday, and was not
received by us in season for publication
In full in this issue. 1t created much
excitement in Congress, and some dlsap-
pointment, undoubtedly, to many Re-
publican members. 1t is asserted, how
ever, that the President Is not at vari-
ance with the majority in Congress, or
with the country, so far as the claims OF
the freedmen are concerned. He bases
his objections to the bill in question on
the ground that it is unnecessary, the
act of last March establishing the freed
mems bureau being still in force, and
further argues that the vetoed bill is IN
some of its provisions unconstitutional.
We shall endeavor to make room for
the message tomorrow, and its state
ments and arguments will of course be
entitled to careful consideration, as well
on the part Of those who cannot, as OF
those who can, assent to the Presidents
conclusion.

RUTLAND & WOODSTOCK RAILROAD
The Woodstock Standard has the fol-
lowing:
The corporators of the Rutland and
Woodstock Railroad are beginning to
"agitste the waters" preparatory to
doing something towards survey and
an organization. We understand they
are to have meeting soon. One OF
their first steps will probably be to
make survey of the route, the ex-
pense of which, estimsted at $500,
must be raised by subscription along
the line and at Rutland. AS it will be
of little use to ask aid OF capitalists and
connecting railroads without being able
to lay before them the results of a sur
vey, we trust there will be no diGculty

ALLURE Of the efforts OF the Reciprocity
Commission at Washington, the provin-
sial merchants are very much depressed
by their trade prospects for the eomiug
year; but the Government organs pre-
tend to find consolation il the assump-
ton that this Reciprocity failure will
lsssten the realization of the Proyincisi

now, 1t is said, determined to make an
ethel' vigorous effort to carry thfs latter
measure to completion; but there Is q

anticipated. -

THE LAST MAN.-The Portage Reg
lister (Wisconsin) chronicles the death
at Caledonia, Wis, on the 9th ult., OF
Joseph Crele, born near Detroit, Mich,
in 1925, and who had attained, there
fore, the amazing age of One Huuared
and Forty Years. He was born seven
years before George Washington, and
was fifty years old st the outbreak of
the American Revolution so that he
might, even then, hsye claimed exempt
ion from military service. He was "A
years old at the birth Of Napoleon |.
He WAS 81 years old when the Federal
Constitution WAS formed, and 81 when
Acrshsm Lincoln was born. We know
of but one longer life than his In mod
ern times, that Of Parr, the Bnglishman,
who IL recorded to have been born in
1888, and to have died 1885, at the ripe
age of i62. Crele's baptism Ii said to
be on record In the French Catholic
Church in Detroit 50 that bis age

If this isn't great country, we must
insist on Chicago being regarded as a
great city-fOr she has recently inaug
ated and successfully carried through
one of the greatest dog fights on record.
The contest was between a Brown Bos-
ton dog, Bowler and white brindled
Chicago dog named "Billy." The fight
took place at a German tavern called the
Ten Mile House, a name indicating the
distance from Chicago, whittier Chicago
people rushed in crowds eager to witness
the fray The stakes were $500 each
side, while during the contest it is said
some $4,000 changed hands among the
lookers-on.
The contestants were matched some
what like Heanan and Sayers, the Chi
Cago dog answering in part to the Amer
lean prize fighter, while the Boston ami
NAL had the pertinacity and power of
endurance known to the English pugi-
list.
In the early part Of the contest Chi
cago seemingly had the advantage,
breaking one of Boston's legs, and Bit
ing him on the breast SO as almost to
disable him. The throat was the main
point of attack. The animals would
hold each other in the grasp for five or ten
minutes, wrestling and tugging in efforts
to throw one another, the Chicago dog
frequently seizing the Bostonian by the
throat, drag gipg him around the pit, I'M
til the crowd began to think the victory
won. But the Chicago fighter began to
lose wind; and after fighting nearly two
hours and half, the Boston dog that
had been under most of the time rallied
rolled over his antagonist and held him
clutched, with his teeth meeting on one
side of his antagonists mouth, and thus
depriving him Of all power to retaliate
While in this condition the Chicago peo
Pile gave up the contest, the dogs wert
separated, the Chicago dog dying few
minutes after being taken out of the pit
but the Boston dog lingering until three
or four O'Clock the next morning.
If oar readers don't conclude from
this that we are an educated, refined
civilized and christianized people, lei
them read from three to five closely
printed columns OF detail, all about the
fght, in the Chicago papers, sample o.
which we give in the following para,

THE PRECAUTIONS.

i'Then McCloskey and Jennings went
through the important and somewhat
perilous process Of tasting" their dogs
This precautionary measure consists in
getting down on the knees and applying
the tongue to the dog on the breast and
between the shoulders, in order to con-
vince the other side that be is clean, and
that no poison has been applied exter
nally for the, purpose Of injuring the
other dog if he should bite here. Each
man has the right to require the other
70 taste" the dog in any part that he
may indicate. They were then carefully
sponged with milk and water, Jennings
doing it for the Chicago dog and McClos-
key for the Boston one

pressions of good cheer from the friends Of

we are thankful--not for the wicked intent
that prompted it Its recoiI is upon the
heads of its aulhors--for that we are not
responsible.
