A Plea for Dogs.

Sir Walter Scott declared that he
could believe anything Of a dog. He
was very fond OF them, studied their
idiosyncrasies closley, wrote volumin-
ously in their praise, and told many
stories of their unaccountable habits.
Once, he said, he desired an old pointer
of great experience, prodigious favor
lite, and steady in the field as a rock, to
accompany his friend, Daniel Terry, the
actor, then on visit to Abbotsford, and
who, for the nonce, voted himself for a
short excursion The dog wagged his
tail in token ofpeased obedience, shook
out his ears, led the way with q confident
air. and began ranging about with the
most scientific precision. Suddenly he
pointed; up sprang numerous cOvey.
Terry, bent on slaughter, fired both
barrels at once, aiming in the center OF
the enemy, and missed The dog
turned around in utter establishment,
wondering who could be behind him,
and looked Terry full in the face; but
after pause, shook himself again and
went to work as before. A second
steady point, a second fusilade, and no
effects. The dog then deliberately
wheeled about and trotted home at his
leisure, leaving the discounted venator
to find for himself during the remain,
der OF the day. Sir Walter was fond
Of repeating the anecdote, and always
declared that it was literally true while
Terry never said more in contradiction
than that 1T was good story"

WHY are You so Nervous ?

Let us resolve the question. II is because
your organization is naturally delicate or
you make il so by violating the laws Of ma
ture Life Is burden TO tens OF thousands
of human beings only on account of the
indulgence Of their appetites and passions.
AS an appropriate and legitimate penalty
they are suffering from nervous irritabllity,
irregular sensations, uncontrolled impress
sions, unfounded uneasiness, restlessness,
qualms, misgivings and dependency
Their tears will flow or laughter break out
unprovoked by sorrow or joy. They are
victims of hidden disease which produce
this fiuttering state of animal spirits. Is
not this your condition? What You most
need is inauguration. MISHLER'S HERB
BITTEISS is n tonic and gentle stimulant
which will refresh both mind and body
with natural strength, and what 1t gains
for you 1t maintains. Persons Of nervous
temperament will be able to overcome and
keep in check their infirmity by the daily
use of this pure and wholesome nervine
and invigorator.

GeuefallPepss. Report.

General Pope, in his report, which
covers the operations of the army IN
the Indianscouhtry, details the raids
which. have occurred in his department
during the past year, charging gross
upon the working parties
alonu the Kansas Pacific railroad, and
attributes the raids to the fact that they
were often distributed along forty miles
Of the road without arms or prepare
ton of any kind He fears that the
troubles with the Apaches, in New
Mexico, are likely to continue, and he
doubts, from the character of these In
dams, whether they can be brought to
line upon reservation at all, unless,
indeed, they be furnished with every
thing they covet Z ! z u ? ? 80 g
The report refers at some length to
the relations between the army and the
Indian Bureau, and says the relations
between the army and the Indian
agents were established by the Govern
ment. and that SO long as both parties
literally observe them, there need be no
conflict or controversy. 1t may be safely
doubted, however, he says, whet her
such a relation is best for the Arapa-
hoes, Cheyennes, Kiowas, and Com
anches. The country assigned to these
Indians as reservations is of immense
extent and quite unsettled. The reser-
vations of the Kiowas and Comanches
is very near the the frontier settlements
of Texas, upon which these Indians
have been accustomed to depredate for
years. The military authorities, hav-
ing no jurisdiction whatever within the
reservation, are powerless to prevent an
organization of the Indians for hostile
movements, or to arrest such move
ment until the parties concerned have
passed beyond the limits Of the reserva-
ton.
In other words. the Indians on these
! reservations may hold council after
council, devising means and determin-
ING plans for raids upon the settlements
north and south, and may accumulate
everything 1needful for them, and may
march off from their encampment on
hostile expeditions, and yet the military
authorities at hand in the neighborhood,
fully possessed of all the facts, and
knowing well the active persons concern
ed in organizing the raid, can neither
arrest these persons orin any manner in,
terfere with the expedition until it shall
have passed beyond the limits of the
reservation. Having in this manner
prepared everything for the raid, and
having the choice Of any of the numer-
Gus exposed points of the settlements
north and south to attack, the first move
must be successful, and occasion severe
injury to the places and people attacked.
1t is only then that troops can be used,
and they are generally too late to &C
complish anything except fruitless pur'
suits, as the Indians retreat upon their
reservations, where the military cannot
touch them.

The New Apportionment.

From returns actually received at the
Census Bureau in Washington and the
estimates made by the Commissioner, it
is ascerta ined that the total population
of the United States is but little over
thirty eight millions, or about two mil
lions less than it has been usually esti-
mated. West Virginia is estimated, in
round numbers, at450,0O0. Should the
Congress still consist of 243 members,
the new apportionment will give to the
Western States seven new members, the
six New England States losing one
each. New York will lose three, while
Pennsylvania and New Jersey will each
gain one. There is, however, some
talk of increasing the nulsber OF mem
hers to 500, but in that event the rela-
tive strength of the several sections will
not be changed.

Alabama.

The conduct Of the Radical officials
in Alabama illustrates the little respect
that is entertained Tor law and right by
the carpet-bagger and the scafawag.
Notwithstanding their acknowledged
and overwhelming defeat at the polls,
the Governor and State Treasurer re
fuse to reliuquish their offices to the
newly elected Democratic officers and
have summoned United States troops
around them to protect them in their
usurpation. The facility with which
soldiers are called upon to aid in carry
ing an election or to defy the popular
will after the election has resulted dis
astrously to the candidates Of the Radi-
cal party, is one of the signs OF the
times in which we live and indicates
the direction in which the Republic is
drifting.

EDWIN BooTH has never been in
Washington since the death Of his
brother, after the assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln. Before he left Mon
treal, on his last trip to Washington,
Wilkes Booth deposited $1,000 in gold
in the Bank of Montreal. 1t is there
now. His mother has legal right to
draw the money, but she refuses to do
so, and her living sons refuse to allow
her to touch it. There it remains, and
there it will remain until the time pro-
vided by law for its retention has ex-
pired. Then it will go to the British
Government, and become a part OF the
fortune of the Crown. The officers of
the bank are anxious TO get rid of the
deposit. and have several times writ
ten to the relatives of the depositor.
The latter have been uniformly firm
in refusing it, but they have never
given any reas ons for so doing.

An Old Friend.

For many years the Press Of the country
has chronicled the beneficial effects OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Editors, au-
thors, physicians, merchants, officers of the
army and navy, chemists, counsellors, min
listers of the gospel, in short, great cloud
of witnesses of every profession, trade and
calling, have testified to its efficacy rs a
tonic and regulating medicine. The names
and statements of these witnesses have
been published in the public prints. Many
of them are well known to the whole pub
lie. Their testimony has never been chal-
lenged or impugned. This
OLD FRIEND
has been tried and pronounced, on the
of those whose lives and health
it has preserved, pure, harmless and en-
inently salutary preparation. Attempts
have been made to rival 1t. They have
failed. There is nothing equal to the en-
ioyment experienced by the afflicted when
using this valuable specific. Its mid tone,
Its sure and vigorous action upon a disor-
1ered stomach, and the cleansing Of the
entire human body, recommend 1t to the
whole community as a RELIABLE
FRIEND. -

Interesting to Life Insurers.

\ very curious question as to the La
bility of insurance companies to pay the
policy on the lite Of suicide has re-
Gently been raised in Connecticut. The
insured, it appears, had claims against
four insurance companies, amounting in
all to forty thousand dollars. One
company, which insures against suicide
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany-paid the amount (ten thousand
dollars due on the policy without de
murring. The other three companies
in which the deceased was insured de-
fend the case against the widow on the
ground that suicide vitiates the
policy Under the general law
of life insurance we believe that
it is so regarded. 1t. would seem
that the recognition of companies who
make it specially to insure mans
life. even when the death OF the party
should occur bysuicide, might establish
tie fact that companies who make no
such provision do not accept the respon-
sibility in their contract This seems
to he the case in,point before the court
in Hartford, and as the claim of the
widow is contested by the joint infu-
ence of three powerful insurance CON-
panicS, there is some probability that
the question of law in the matter will
be ventilated thoroughly, and probably
will be carried to the higher courts, so
that we shall know definitely how the
law stands in case of party insured
suicide.-N Y. Herald.
