siberian Dogs.

These dogs are said to resemble the wolf
to have long, pointed, projecting noses. sharp
and upright ears, and long, bushy tails ;
color yarious-black, brown, reddish brown,
white, and spotted. They vary also in size ;
but good sedge dog should not be less than
two feet seven inches high. Their bowling
is that of a wolf. In the summer they die
holes in the ground for coolness, or lie in the
wafer to escape mosquitoes, which in these
regions, are not less troublesome than one of
Pharaoh's plaques. In winter they burrow
in the snow, and lie curled up, with their
noses covered by their bllshy tails. The
preparation OF the animals for a Journey, is
carefully to be attended to. For fortnight
at least, they should be put on a small allow
ance OF hard food to convert their superfluous
fat into firm flesh. They are also to be driven
from ten to twenty miles daily; after which
Won Wrangel says, they have been known to
travel hundred miles a day, without being
injured by it. 1--WE drove ours ;" he saws,
sometimes at the rate of one hundred
werst5 (siXtysiX miles) a day. Their usual
food is fresh fish, thawed, and cut in pieces :
and ten frozen herrings are said to be proper
allowance for each dog. A team consists
commonly of twelve dogs, and it is of i'm
portance that they should be accustomed to
draw together. The foremost sledge has lsu-
ally an additional dog, which has been trained
as leader. On the sagacty and docility of
this leader, depend the quick and steady
going of the team, as well as the safety OF
the traveller"

A Little Newspaper Quarrel.

A little newspaper quarrel occurred here
few days ago between the Chronicle and
Star, in which the latter, retOrtng for some
contemptuous allusion, stated that the Ch,o,f-
icle, which is in part owned by Hon. James
Harlan, had received $50, 900 for campaign
printing from the Congressional Republican
Committee, of which they said Mr.. Harlan
was member. Of course the inference was
that Mr.. Harlan ordered printing as a com
mittee man, and then audited and paid his
own accounts as printer. This fling the
Greeley correspondents have taken up and
sent IN specials from here, in pursuance OF
their work OF charging corruption in every
thing. The Chronicle replies that the total
for printing it has received is about sgt 900.
and that its profit is less than $4,000, cxclu.
sive Of wear and tear of presses. sc. and
that it only obtained this work, in coniunc.
ton with Fred. Douglass NEW NATIONAL
ERA, because it bid less. The committees
book shows the same thing. The whole
amount passing through its hands will not
reach more than eco, 900, raised by voluntary
contributions. Mr.. Harlan is not member

bills. That work is done by Judge Edmunds

of the resident Republican committee, a body
selected as an advisory agency, of which
Frederick Douglass and Governor Cooke are

sufficient to induce them to contribute may

leaving the shot to speed on its deadly mis-

munltion which may now be entered as
wholly expended. Each kind has been used
in the most reckless manner, the only limit
/ being the ability to load and fire. OF course
there was the usual accident To the pieces
incident to such rapid use. Battery Sumner,
for instance, loaded twice, each time heavily
to the muzzle; with a little of everything
known to history from the days of the Popes

Battery Brown was broken up by cholera

Some of the biggest guns in Tribune Bat

true of Tribune Battery No. 2. In the

The effects of Tuesda

The effects OF Tuesday evenings aurora
were felt on the telegraph wires running
north and south from this city some minutes
before its rays were visible in the sky. As
the streaks of light shot upward the wires
became heavily surcharged with natures
electricity, sufficient, i'll many instances, to
operate the lines without all of the usual
batteries. This electric current was expert
enced with more or less intensity until late
III the night. Advantage was taken Of the
occasion to make a series of scientific expe-
riments between New York and the LARGER
cities, both east and west, with a view to
efindlng the best means to overcome its OBJ
structive effects in the operation of the tele-
graph. The auroral current is perceptibie
ON the wires in the day time as well as during
the night. 1t does not follow the wires simi-
lar to flash of lightning, but its point Of
connection can be located with the same pre-
cislon as in the case of q break in the wires

when it happens that his twenty thousand

A Southern Soldiers View Of Re-
Cancellation,

Gen. Maury, the ex-rebel soldier of TEN
nessee, is said to have recently expressed
himself to the following effect: ''Reconcilia-
ton is not achieved by reconciliation of the
South with Mr.. Greeley; neither with Presi-
dent Grant nor any one living man: his
reconciliation of the great body Of the people
being the object, this can be most effectively
served by the Southern masses harmonizinp
in support of that candidate who may be the
manifest choice of the North, rather than by
the impatient and il-timed efforts to defeat
that choice through means of united South

Vauban, Plutarch, Tacitus, Montesquieu,

Ihe School Tax.

We notice in our State exchanges,
that arrangements are being made, at
various places, to resist the payment OF
the enormous school tax, now heing COL
lected, MS wholly Illegal ns we'll as uHjust
We are glad TO sac this. The course was
recommended by the Tax Payers Conven-.
ton, and il should be taken generally. In
communication 10 the Galveston News,
dated Austin, March 9th, II is stated, that
on Dec. llth, jDeGress, tho Superin teLd-
emf, drew from the Treasury Of tho School
Fund $50,o00 on January I'd, 10000, on
February 18th, $4,000, and March ID,
$4,000, ION warrant for $4,000, the
balance not being paid out for want of
funds in the Treasury,) the whole amount
ing to the shdg little sum Of SlS5, 900
These amounts have been deposited in the
Banking House of Raymond & Whitis', Of
Austin, in the name Of DeGress, and have
been checked out in the same name, as
needed 1t is farther eaid, that the law
undoubtedly gives DeGress this right. 1t
is not asserted that he has used this money
for private purposes, but hemight do IL and
the law requires no Treasurer's bond from
him. He has the same right to put it in
his bre .chss pocket that he has to deposit
it with a bank. But, it is possible that he
may receive some compensation for this
deposit-wo can not sny-we know that
such things have been done with public
money from late son fession Of an official
at Washington. But what we do say EN-
phaticaily IL, that, il the school law allows
this to be done, the lar is wrong and holds
out Inducements to swindlers. And we
say further, that, until the law is changed,
the poor tax payers Of Texas should resist
the paymenrof the school tax by every le-
gal means in their power, and they should
unite together and aid one another in re-
sis,ing the collection OF THO tax. Two Of
the State Judges, appointed by Davis, him
self, have already decided against the le-
gality Of this tax, and, if the Supreme
Court of the State is not utterly devoid Of
brains and honesty, il win sustain this de-
cision. For ourself, we have no doubt but
the Supreme Court will sustain the decis-
ions n AIDE. The school law, with iseare.

pealed. No howfiDg Of the radical press
