Hens Iu Place Of Dogs

There is hardly family that does
not throw away enough table scraps to
keep at least dozen hens; and many
that keep a nuisance in the shape Of a
dog, that does no good, but costs more
than q dozen good hens One dog ia
a neighborhood is generally a greater
trouble to the neighbors than a flock
Of hens would be; for if hens are wei
fed at home, they rarely go away
But who ever saw q dog that was not
pest, running across the newly made
garden, and sticking his nose into every
thing. Kill off the ours and give the
food to the hens, and you will find
pleasure as well a. profit in 80 doing.
We wish there was tax Of 800 on
every dog kept in the country. Those
that are Of value as watch dogs, could
be retained, while the host of snarling,
dirty ours would give place to some
more useful and less troublesome pet

LOUISVILLE.

Convention of Steamboat Owners
LOUISVILLE, November 9.-The com
mittee on Steamers reported that they
fully concurred on steamers as reported
by the Cincinnati Steamboat Convention
with two exceptions, and recommended
the use Of idanca tin and steam gauges
as in the law Of 1871.
The committee on Transportation re
ported in favor Of adopting the law as
now in force, with minor changes.
The License committee approved
sections II, Is, l6 and II as in the
original law, and sections Is, IA, Is, 20
81, 30 and As, except the last clause as
adopted by the Cincinnati association.
The committee on Life Saving Appa
ratus reported having examined the sec
tons referred to, viz: 2. 3, e, 7, 8, 9, 10
II, q, 81 and 80, but did not see any
changes TO recommend Adopted.
A printed report from the committee
on Marine was received. 1t thought
the legislative power vi IuoPSI'OAo S"O"'
be reduced and the board made to re
port to Congress instead OF being allowed
to make laws themselves. AS regards
light, the committee recommended the
enactment Of law allowing all steam
ers to use refined petroleum of l4O de-
grees fire test.
Captain n. J. Bigley, Of Pittsburgh,
offered a resolution that the Convention
memorialize the Council OF Louisville,
asking that the wharfboat Of the Mail
Company be moved further up for the
better security of towboats entering the
canal with large flats. Referred to the
Louisville delegates.
A motion for the Convention to raise
$4,000 tor future purposes caused con
siderable discussion, but it was finally
referred to the committee on General
Business
Captain w. J. Kountz offered a reso,
luton for the Convention to take into
consideration the inspection Of steam
boat huls; how and by whom they
shall be inspected. Referred to com
mittee on General Business.
The Convention will probably appoint
dav in December to reconvene al
Washington City.

THE wanderings Of Ulysses since
his nomination for the Presidency,
forms the subject Of an exhaustive
treatise in the Cincinnati Commercial.
The author seems to have followed the
President everywhere, and gives the
number OF days absence and the miles
travelled, with scrupulOus exactness.
Here are the results
Since his nomination as President, a.
the figures above will show, Grant has
been absent from Washington jOl days
(not including the days OF his rcturning),
and has traversed, as nearly a. can be
determined, 81 ,629 miles or, since the
surrender OF Lee, he has been absent
754 days, and wandered q distance OF
Ga, ,O5S miles-not counting numberIes-
drives, horseback excursions, and little
trips that have escaped telegraphic
recognition. Much indeed has he been
tossed about, both on the sea and on the
land and-think OF that sixty odd
thousand mile trail OF cigar smoke.

Agricultural fairs are a peculiarly
American institution. In foreign
countries the fair is adapted to many
other uses. In Great Britain, 'Or in
stance, there are horse fairs, cattle
fairs, sheep fairs, and fairs where cheese,
butter, etc, are the especial objects OF
attention. Hiring fairs are also held
at Michaelmas in each year, where
young men and women attend who wish
to dispose OF their services for the en-
suing year The most important fair
in the world is held annually at Nov
gorod, in Russia, where merchandise Of
all conceivable varieties is sold to the
aggregate value OF over a hundred
million dollars. 1t would be a great
convenience both to sellers and buyers
in this country were fairs periodically
held in each county, or district OF two
or more counties. Often farmer,
after prolonged search for a horse or
a COW, or purchaser for such property,
finds, when too late that an opportunity
TO buy or sell might have been found
next door to him.

The trial Of Mrs Wharton, charged
with the poisoning Of General Ketchum
and others, is definitely fixed TO take
place at Annapolis on the 4th OF De
cember next. and the interest in the
case is consequently again revived. AP.
plications are already pouring in on the
officials from large numbers Of persons
requesting permits to witness the pro,
ceedings The array Of legal counsel
on both sides is formidable. Mrs.
Wharton has been transferred from the
CITY iail OF Baltimore to the jail at An
napolis, where che will await her trial.
She is accompanied by her daughter
who has so deyotedly attended her and
shared her incarceration since the day
OF her arrest, never leaving her night ol
day. They occupy nicely furnished
room, situated over the apartments IL
which the Sheriff and his family reside
and which has nothing 10 its appear
ance to indicate that Il ia portion 0
the jail except the iron bars outside th'
windows. Mrs. Wharton and he,
daughter are allowed to supply them
selves from without with such ntcessa
ries as they desire.

Tweed Interviewed.

Tweed being interviewed yesterday
said that he was not prepared to answer
anv questions regarding his reported
resignation. But it is pretty certain
that the report is untrue. Tweed said
the great success of the Reform party
took him completely by surprise and he
was totally unprepared for it. Tweed
counsel stated yesterday that lac would
hurry the trial of the charges OF the
Reform committee. They had no rea-
son to wish delay.
The Tribune says that Tweed has
been rapidly transferring his property
to other hands. A few days ago he
sold another piece OF valuable property,
which cost two millions, to his son.
He has also been selling stock in various
RAILWAYS and other companies-ln
most instances at a sacrifice. He no
longer figures as Director OF the Third
avenue railroad. His name was
dropped for the reason that he has
lately sold all his stock in that line
He held, at the time Mr.. OConnor
began the suit against him, 700 shares
of Metropolitan gas stock, worth about
Sl,365,0 900. He ordered It's immediate
sale after the suit began, and though
the then rate was Sl95, forced it on the
market and disposed OF it for about
$40. He reported To have attempted
to sell the lease of the Metropolitan
Hotel
There is univers al satisfaction over
this results oi the election 10y men OF all
parties.
Charles O'COnnOr
saws the Legislature will at once pro
ceed to erase from the statute book the
nefarious laws that gave so much power
to the rascals who mad so near y ruined
the credit of the city through their
misgovernmant The suits against the
/ ring officers will not be allowed TO Ian
guish, although they would not be
pressed quite so heavily as heretofore.
1t had been the object OF the prosecu'
ton to place the evidence before the
people, in order that they might be pro-
perly considered before the election and
thus give honest citizens an opportunity
OF turning out of office the scoundrels
who had so long defrauded the city.
But the suits would proceed, as there
was no intention OF allowing them tc
rest, or to relieve the rogues from the
legal lash which they SO richly deserve

returned to New York on Monday
night. He had been in constant com
