"A Boston constable found man
dead drunk in the streets, and in aecor-
dance with the usual custom in such
cases, advanced to take him to the sta
ton house. He was, however, repulsed
IN disorder by the drunkard's dog, who
was too big and ferocious looking for
the constable to tackle. The faithful
dog kept ward over his british master
until the effects OF the whisky we're so
far dissipated that he got up and
walked home.

TIE MoNEY ORDER SYSTEM.
marking upon the frauds perpetrated
by ex-Postmaster Davis, OF Van Vert,
Ohio, the Cleveland Herald says: ''The
case seems to be one of those where
all the guards in the world could not
have prevented fraud, unless the De
partment makes it rule that the per
son presenting an order shall also prove
his personal identity. That rule is
adopted at the money order Office in
this city, and we do not see why il
could not be insisted upon at all order
offices. It is said, however, to be i'm.
practicable at the smaller offices. One
thing is certain, this case has shown
that many postmasters do not use pro.
per precauti0n in paying money orders
and we presume the case will give rise
to some stringent instructions iron

wrap with a rag some powder on the
heads of their arrows, and on the tip of
their arrow heads place a percussion
cap. When the arrow strikes the OBJ

rag burns long enough to set any COM
bustible with which it may come in

The mole is generally considered a
deadly enemy to vegetation, and every
where throughout agricultural commu-
mites IA war of merclless determination
is waged against the species-every-
where, that is, except IN Zurich, Swift
zerland, where they have been taught
better. il seems, by one of their sdDdnS.
This gentleman Mr.. Weber-on 81
recent occasion, when the municipal
mole catcher's appointment was under
consideration by the councils of that
canton, laid before them the following
facts:
He had carefully examined the stOm-
achs of fifteen moles, caught in differ
ont localities, but failed to discover
therein the slightest vestige of plants
or roots; whereas they were filed by the
remains of the ascaris or earth-worms.
Not satisfied with this, he had then
shut mp number of mOles in a box
containing earth and sod, with grow
ing grass, and smaller case of grub
and earth worms. In nine days two
moles devoured three hundred and
forbv.one white worms, one hundred
and ninety-three earth worms,
twenty-five catterpillars, and a
mouse, skin and bones, which
had been enclosed while alive in
the box. nj. Weber next gave them
raw meat, cut up in small pieces, mixed
with vegetables; the moles ate the
meat aud left the plants. He next
gave them nothing but vegetables; IN
twenty four holrs two moles died of
starvation.
These experiments would appear con-
elusive as to the carnivorous appetites
of the Swiss moles, aud Zurich Is
lucky TO possess aud appreciate such a
distinguished naturalist.
But it is by no means sure that the
American moIes are equally anti-vege-
tarians. They certainly do take an oc-
clsional nip ont of our fine dubious or
other roots and herbs, though it may
be only by way of sauce to their meat.

A SIGHT OF the OARS,

Next morning they all went to Plum
creek, and with the aid of a spy-glass
could see that the cars were on fire aud
the Indians galloping around-some
conveying their pluuder to the Platte
river. A party of twelve Indians could
be distinguished on a bluff evidently
Watching them. Towards evening they
moved up with a company of soldiers
from Lone Tree station, and found
things as herein mentioned-a mass of
embers, bones and clots of blood. All
the Indians had disappeared.

Is it a Finality 2

The Philadelphia North american, speak
ing of the present cry of "a fnality," says
there is no difficulty in receiving members
from the reconstructed States on the basis
of the reconstruction act, but objects to the
prospect of their being brought in, Or act
ing in Congress, as bar to future legisla-
ton, and says:
1--WE do not intend to surrender our right
to pass the Wilson suffrage bill, that will
enfranchise the colored men of such States
as Kentucky Delaware and Maryland, and
Mr.. Frelinghuysen' own State, New Jer-
sey. We do not mean to give up, without
a struggle, the great principle that the ma
ton should guarantee an education to all its
citizens And if the landed aristocracy
shall still come out of the furnace of recon
struction as strong as ever, we wish it to be
understood now that some remedy for the
land monopoly is indispensable.
One Congress cannot bind another on any
public question. Each Congress has full
power to act for itself, so long as it confines
its action within the limits of the constitu-
tion ''as it is, when they assemble. Hence,
whatever legislation the next Congress may
deem essential to the peace and prosperity of
the country, it can enact, if in conformity to
the organic law of the land Then, should
the incoming Congress see lit to pass other
laws, aside from the recent reconstruction
act, in relation to the late rebellious States
we presume they have the power to do So
But, will Congress exercise this right?
