upon Whom his choice may ultimately fall.
The liquor law, the police spy system, and the
negro policy Of tho dominant party oil tend
to bring these voters together and TO enlist
them beneath the standard Of the man who hes

Law and Order in the Metropolis.


The records Of the police department show
The unprecedented number OF one hundred and
four arrests during the week ending last Sa'ur-
day; and ii is feared that, at the rate at which
arrests continue to be made, even this number
will be surpassed during the present week.
The oyerzeal Of certain policemen, in making
arrests for trivial causes, partially accounts for
such telling record against the prevalence
of claw and order" in the metropolis. The
lighting mania, infamed by this dog-day
weather, and breaking out now in the more or
less scientific" exhibitions of the prize ring,
and now in the most brutal rough and tumble
knock down and drag out encounters, is alleged
TO be one cause Of the extraordinary multiple
cation Of arrests. 1t is likewise ascribed to q
variety Of other causes, from the green meteors
which Professor LOOMS failed to predict, and
tn rival claims for Foo-ChoO-Mats and Ring
Kse-Chee, alias Little All Right, to the Jersey
mosquitoes which lately invaded New York,
including the rather blundering. II we'll meant,
efforts Of those pious citizens who have formed
societies for the suppression of gambling and
prostitution and intemperance and other social
evils, and who prowl about nightly in squads
of three in the most uncomfortable and suspi-
cious manner. Some Of these very good people
have even exposed themselves to arrest by the
mysterious ways in which they meve, their
wonders to perform, in plying their voluntarily
chosen and irresponsible vocation of secret
grand inquisitors. The anti-gambling frater-
nifty might spare themselves deal of time and
trouble hunting in out of the way hooks for
the haunts Of petty gamblers, IL they would
boldly walk straight up to the we'll known
palaces of "King Pharaoh" in our finest streets
The Excise law most emphatically illustrates
the Scrptursl truth that "where the law is
there doth sin much more abound" It has 90
casioned, directly and indirectly, more arrests
than the violation of any other Law on the
statute books, unless wo except the Dog law
which, according 10 the report Of the City Mar
shall had counted up 10 last Saturday night no
less than six thousand three hundred and
twenty Eight victims So many dogs have
never before been destroyed in single season.
The Dog law is fun to the. dog catchers, but
death to Gas dogs There is plenty Of claw"
If not too much Of it, in the metropolis, aud
happily more order" than there might seem
TO be. judging by tho~unusual number Of re-
cent arrests.

A Grateful Tiger,

A Gagged tiger had live dog thrown
to it one day for its dinner. Not being
very hungry, the usually fierce creature
did not touch the trembling little VIC
tim. This quietness gave the dog
courage, and he began to lick the
tigers eyes which were sore. This act
seemed pleasant to the wild beast, and
the dog continued from time to time,
till the eyes of this savage animal got
well. The tiger from that time took
his tiny four legged doctor under his
patronage, looked upon him kindly,
and allowed him to eat what he chose
of the food thrown.into his pen Hence
forth they lived like bosom friends.
Thus, you see, even the fierce tiger
can be grateful for little favor. How
much more, then, should children learn
to be grateful to their friends for the
great favors they have received.

Romance in Real Life.

The Cleveland Herald says: We met
a gentleman to day, seeking his wife,
who, it seems, was in this place when
last heard from, having come from an
Eastern city. There is a strange story
connected herewith, which the gen
tlcman has no objection to our giving
here. Eight years ago, this gentleman,
whom we shall call Mr.. George -,
left his young wife with his mother,
then residing in the city of D., and
started overland to California. While
upon his journey, the party of which
he was a member was attacked by the
Indians, and he was carried into cap
Civity. He escaped from them about
n year afterwards, and reached San
Francisco determined to go home,
taking passage in steamer for that
purpose Three days out the steamer
was burned, and he, among a few
others, was saved by the efforts of a
boats crew belonging to vessel
bound for San Francisco. Having lost
his money in this disaster, he sailed for
Australia, which point he reached in a
very destitute condition. He was sick,
and remained in the hands of the phy.
sician for many long months. When
able to travel he started for home, and
when within five days from New York

but parties who have examined them
say that the sum is S340, 900. There
are many conflicting statements among
negroes who are supposed to know of
the affair, and the whole thing NAV be

the negroes supposed to have control
