Mr.. JonS CLANCY, the other day, by
permission OF the owner, bought dog
from the dog pound. Mr.. Clancy paid
the taxes and costs on the dog, and car =
ried his purchase home. For safe keeping
his new owner shut him up in room IN
the house. Alas, for canine gratitude 1!
the redeemed animal, painting for dan
gerous freedom, and without thought Of
what was proper under the circumstances,
went through one Of the windows Of the
room, leaving behind only the broken sash
and shattered glass to tell tho tale The
expenses Of the purchase are thus calcua.

The discussion Is continued In regard 30 the
respective merits and dement's Of this lately
popular remedy for nervous affections. A
French physician, in a recent essay on choral
hydrate, states that IL can be employed In all
cases OF seeplessness without fever; that for
the relief Of severe pain opiatss must be used in
connection with the choral, and that small
doses should be prescribed In cases OF serious
troubles Of the heart and circulatory system.
The best dose for an adult, it Is stated, is from
thirty to forty.tve grains, and solutions should
not be given stronger than twenty parts to the
hundred. IL may be stated that besides its
quasi intoxicating properties, the continued use
OF choral produces great debility, and the eyes
particularly are affected, these organs becoming
bloodshot and q swimming OF imperfect vision
being produced. These Acknowledged effects
OF chlcral have caused its discontinuance q Q
remedy to a great extent, bromide of calcium
and bromide of sodium being now used as mild
but effective sedatives. Bromide of potassium,
once so much prescribed, is considered Is inert.

No portion of the country, probably, Of equal
extent and population, has had so rigid an en-
forcement of the law which makes hanging the
penalty for murder as the District of Colum bia,
and nowhere is murder more frequent. Within
the past six weeks 10 less than three men have
been judicislly strapgled in this city, and an
other Is To be hanged early next month, and yet
there have already been two most atrocious
murders here this week. TO say nothing of one
or two Unsuitable homicides" that have oc-
Cured with a monthly Washington Cor. ". Y.
TTibuEe.
Well, what are you going to do about it? Is
murder less frequent in New York because
hanging is played out there? There is one
thing certain, that by every hanging you reduce
the number Of murderers by one and Increase
the safety Of the rest Of the community BY tn at
much. LII the criminal records of Iowa where
they have no death penalty, and New York
where the penalty is not enforced. showed less
proportion of murders than places where the
death penalty is enforced. that might be used as
an argument against capital punishment, but
the facts are the other way.

Fish Breeding.

Seth Green transports trout and black bass
from the New York breeding grounus to the
California rivers. Mr.. Livingston, in the lat
ter State, is extensively engaged in packing
salmon spawn for the purpose OF stocking riv-
erS pn the Atlantic seaboard. 1t is really
wonderful how immense the trade in fish
spawn has become within few years. Mil
lions OF young fry are reared on the borders
OF Canada. at large ponds in Connecticut and
pennsylvania, and at the fisheries on the IIud-
son liver, in the State of New York. Mr. Liv-
ingstDn, in California has less trouble. All he
has tp do is to lift the salmon spawn from the
water place it in boxes the wood of which has
been first charred, to prevent any taint from
the boards. and send it on its journey packed
In wet moss. The quantities of fish in some
OF these California rivers may be judged from
the fact that at times so dense is the mass on
some favorite feeding ground that they can be
thrown out on shore by using the broad pad
die OF an oar Mr.. Livingston is now taking
from the McCloud river, in Shasta county,
