A DOG F1eHr.-A couple of dogs were
having dispute on the opposite side of slat
fence, the other morning, when one of them,
letting his valor get the better of his discretion,
of nipping his antagonist. That was where he
made the mistake; the head went through
nicely, but would not pull back. The other
pup, seeing his foe in chancery, lesu.re9ly com,
menccd eating up the front part of his head
and ears There was Emusic in the air" about
that time, and the unearthly yelping brought
the juvenile owner of that demoralized canine
to the rescue. He took in the situation at
once, and freezing on to that dogs tail, and
bracing himself against the fence, he pulled
his level best For moment it was doubtful
which would give way first, the tail, the head,
or the picket; but, with a final surge, the boy
brought away the pup minus the biggest part
of both ears. The first jump that that dog
made when loose was something over twenty
feet, and, with a continuous wall of grief, he
disappeared round the corner.

THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL It.-One of the
strongest temperance men connected with the
Chicago press has penchant for mixing up
drinks" which cheer but not inebriate. His
latest discovery in this line is plain soda slight
ly favored with aromatic spirits of ammonia.
While out on Madison street at the extreme
west end the other night, our journalist felt the
approach of a headache, and stopped in a con-
venient drug store to indulge in his favorite
tipple. A boy, about knee high to q toad, was
in attendance at the fountain.
"Give me plain soda and ammonia" was the
request.
The boy assumed knowing look, and re-
piled, Gall right, sir"
And then placed glass under suspicious
looking tap, when the journalist, who didn't
understand this business, said, "Hold on there !
What are you about? l want soda and ammo
MAP
"That's all right" said the knowing urcbn.

what am about. That's the name they all
give itp'-Chicago Tribune.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE "A Washington

WHO is RESPONSIBLE "A Washington
letter to the Baltimore Sun says:
The question as to who is responsible for the
burning of Columbia, having been revived BY
some of the recent testimony before the British
American Claims Commission, has of late
formed quite prominent topic of discussion
in military and other circles. In military cir
cles particularly considerable feeling has been
displayed, and some of the criticisms which
have been passed upon the Federal comman-
ders has not been of the most amiable charac-
ter. Military officers are like other people in
some respects, and are apt to forget after the
lapse of years what they may have said and
done when under the excitement and resent
ment engendered by armed conflict. 1t is thus
perhaps not 70 be wondered at that the mill
tary officers here who are charged to be re-
sponsible for the partial destruction of that
beautiful city, deny it with so much bitterness.
The testimony before the commission pointing
to the Federal troops as the parties who fired
the city is corroborated by the late James L.
Orr, who, in letter written from this city last
winter, distinctly states that he heard General
Howard say that "the city was burned by the
United States troops" and that he (Howard)
saw them fire many houses. a statement has
Just been forwarded here from Mr.. Falligant, a
citizen of Savannah. Mr.. Falligant asserts
positively that Gen. John E. Smith, who COM
manded division of Sherman's army, said to
him the pight before Sherman's army LETT Sa-
vannah, ''that when they got into South Caro-
lima the officers would shut their eyes and let
the men do what they pleased" and that "they
we're going straight to Columbia and lay the
d-n place in ashes" 1t is to be regretted
that this dispute should have been started, but
there seems disposition now on both sides,
which is perhaps best, that the question of re-
sponsibility shall now be settled beyond any
further controversy.

FRANCE AND IT'S NEW PREsIDENT-France
has just had another revolution and thus far q
bloodless one- President Thiers, in spite of
the many and honorable services he has rem
dered to France, found himself compelled to
resign his high position because of its demand
that the government be at once and definitively
declared permanent Republic. This un-
equivocal act of alliance with Republicanism
at once combined all the factions opposed to it
and arrayed them en- aaasse against the late
President. Bourbons and Orleanists and I'm
perialists at once made common cause against
the Republic. What will be the ultimate re-
suit of this temporary fusion of discordant,
conflicting and hostile factions, or how long it
will last no one can say. The immediate re-
suit was the election Of Marshal MacMahon, a
man fully identified with the late Empire, as
the successor of President Thiers, his accept
ance of the high trust conided to him and the
appointment Of new ministry. As we have
said the revolution thus far is bloodless one
and peace and good order reign throughout the
country. Indeed, the election of Marshal
MacMahon is an earnest that the laws will be
obeyed and good order maintained Whining

The New President of the French Republic.

Marshal MacMahon, upon whom has fallen
the mantle of N. Thiers, is before all soldier.
He has been nearly half century in the
French Army, and since the day OF the storm
ing of The Malakoff he has been its pride and
glory. Before the Franco-Prussian war Mac
Mahon was regarded as the coming man who
would rive the assailants of France lesson in
the art of war. For some reason, possibly the
combined reason that his military ability was
and is over-rated and that his plans were
thwarted by imperial interference, ne failed to
do anything worthy of even fifth rate general
in resisting the German advance. lie suffered
an ignominious defeat at Woerth, the Crown
Prince of Prussia completely out.generalling
him, ard his combinations led to the fatal day
at Sedan. To be sure, when he entered Paris
after the siege he performed feats of yalor that
made him dOubly dear to the reactionary classes:
1t will be long time before the world will
accept is anything but cruel and useless earn
age the slaughter by thousands of the ill-ad-
vised defenders of Paris against the Thiers
Government. Marshal MacMahon was the
hand in the execution of this bloodthirsty
scheme and perhaps it would not be unnatural
to infer that he had much to do with the con-
ception of the scheme itself.
AS ali administrator MacMahon has not been
success. He left Algeria in most terrible
state. The disorders which broke out there on
the close of the Prussian war were his legacy
to his Successors. Every severity that arbitrary
power could think of was executed IN the
harshest manner, but without reducing either
the French colonists or the Algerian natives to
Obedience.
To his new position as President, MacMahon
comes at the ripe age of sixty-fve-he is ten
years younger than M. Thiers. He brings
with him to the task an immense reputation
for military ability, and great popularity,
due in part to his unpretending manners. He
is royalist at heart-a legitimist of the legiti-
mists. Republicanism he has always hated.
The very name of liberty has been odious to
him, though he has never been backward in
claiming the liberty for him and his party to
be legiGimists, and to brand as criminals those
who do not share that honor. Constitutional
ism he regards as neither fish nor flesh. Louis
Philippe he served without respecting him or
his ministers. In 184S he was lukewarm TO-
wards the Provisional Government. He took
the earliest opportunity of going over to Bona
parte when, he was maturing his scheme for
making himself absolutely master of France.
Next 10 Henri V. MacMahon thought Napo-
leon III. the best governor for the French.
The Marshal has never said a word in favor OF
the present republic. He has studiousy avoid
ed all reference to its existence, and though it
was said that he and Thiers were on the best OF
terms, it was never pretended that he shared
with the ex-President the belief that "the re-
public, was the only possible government for
France-New York World.

JEFF. DAVIS FIRST SwEETHEART.-There
is living in Detroit, says an exchange, vener-
able and respected lady, who, to those who
know her, is the heroine of strange story.
She may be seen almost any day on the streets,
hurrying from her tour of shopping back to
her pleasant little home where, over her needle
and thread, her fancies have full play, and
memory is supreme. She is woman of rare
intellect and great cultivation, charming
conversationalist and an exemplary Christian.
She has been twice married and twice a widow,
and now, as time is drawing his silver tracings
through her hair, she moves alone! The loved
ones of the past are gone. Her interests and
affections draw her towards the world of spirits.
Jefferson Davis. Why they never married is
not known. She treasures too dearly the casket
of the past to open it to other eyes, 1t may
be that to her near and dear ones she tells the
story. am not among them, and do not know
it. 1t is certain, however, whatever may have
prevented the consummation of their early
plans, she and the Confederate President have
never lost their regard for each other. They
still exchange letters, and watch over each
others welfare. Two such lives, running in
such different channels, and yet having the
sympathy of heart and interest, must have
much to attract each other. His has been a
life of splendid achievements and ignoble fail
ures-Full of excitement and thrilling episodes.
Hers, having its own vicissitudes, borne like a
woman, has been quiet and unobtrusive, but,
perhaps, as wonderful as his.
When pass her on the street, or see her in
church, feel like running to her and asking
for her story ] know it would be interesting.
The sweetheart of Jefferson Davis! Who
would not like to go back of his plottings for
power, and his struggle in behalf of the Lost
Cause and learn something more of his boy
hood, and how he acted when in love?

THE MORALS OF THE PREss.-Fron the
Printing Gazette for April we take the follow
ing appropriate extract:
The chief object of newspaper publication,
with all enterprising publishers, and according
to the received theory of the profession, is to
present compendium of the current news
from day to day, or week to week, as complete
as it is possible to obtain from all legitimate
sources. At the same time, we are not of the
opinions that everything that is new ought to
be published, or that newspaper men are
chargeable with a want of enterprise in not
giving to the public eye, great many items
that come under their observation. While it
is expected of the press that it be an exponent,
as it were, of all that passes from day to day,
the mere expectation does not argue that any
publisher fails of his duty in not giving pub
ficty to matters with which the general COM
munity has no business to be acquainted in this
way.
The morbid craving for certain sort of in
telligence, however, has developed into such
an aggravated fever, during the past few years,
that most publishers, in the competitions of
duty or are lacking in enterprise if anything
at all, no matter what its moral character or
tendencies may be, escapes their descriptive
notice. Scandals seductions mental iDfellci-
ties, raoes and ravishments, indeed, that would
never form a topic of conversational interest in
any refined circle of society, are nevertheless
deemec of such importance, and so essentially
requisite to the completeness of the morning
paper that the publisher who omits the publi-
cation Of their details, is regarded as "slow
COACH, untitled to travel on the thoroughfare
of modern ideas. This is all wrong, and the
press OF the country is guilty of a great mis-
chief il perpetuating and encouraging this sort
of news, unless it can be done in language per-
missibls in the social intercourse of respectable
people. There are events transpiring, and not
infrequsntly, of which the public has no de-
fensible right to be informed; and in dissent
mating which there is nothing that can be con-
sidered as creditable enterprise.

WHY AUNT SALLIE NEVER MARRIED.
"Now, Aunt Sallie, do please tell us why you
never got married You remember yorI said
once that when you were q girl you were en-,
gagged to minister, and promised us you would
tell us about it some time. Now, aunt, please
tell U.s."
"Well, you see, when was about seventeen
years old was living in Utica, in the State OF
New York Though say it myself, was
quite good-looking girl then, and had several
beaux. The one that took my fancy was q
young minister, very promising young man,
and remarkably pious and steady. He thought
good deal of me, and kind of took fancy
to him, and things went on until we were en-
gagged. One evening he came to me, and put
his arms around me, and kind of hugged me,
when l got excited, and some frustrated. 1t
was a long time ago, and don't know out
what might have hugged back little. l
was like any other girl, and pretty soon pre-
tended to be mad about it, and pushed him
away, though I wasn't mad bit. You must
know the house where lived was on one OF
the back streets of the town. There were glass
doors in the parlor, which opened over the
street. These doors were drawn to-. stepped
back little from him, and when he came up
close pushed him back again. I pushed him
harder than intend to; and don't you think,
girls the poor fellow lost his balance and fell
through one of the doors into the street"
"Oh, Auntyl Was he killed."
"No; he fell head first, and as he was going
I caught him by the legs of his trousers. l
held on for minute and tried to pull him back,
but his suspenders gave way, and the poor
young man fell clear out of his pantaloons into
a parcel of ladies and gentlemen along the
street."
"Oh Aunty! Aunty Lordyp
'There, that's right; squall and giggle as
much as you want to. Girls that can't hear a
little thing like that without tearing around
the room and he-he-ing in such way don't
know enough to come in when it rains. a
nice time the man that marries one of you will
have, won't he. Catch me telling you any
thing again."
"But Aunt Sallie, what became of him
Did you ever see him again 2"
"No; the moment he touched the ground he
got up and left that place in q terrible hurry
[ tell you it was sight to be remembered
How that man did run ! He went out West
and believe ne is preaching out in Illinois
But he never married. He was very modest
and I suppose he was so badly frightened that
time that he never dared trust himself near Q
woman again. That girls, is the reason why
never married. 1 felt very bad about it for Q
long time, for he was real good man; and
I've often thought to myself that we should
have been very happy if his suspenders hadn't
given way."-Providence Journal.

A WoMAN's MIsrAKE.-A wealthy lady of
Fifth Avenue, New York, possessed of every
luxury that an elegant residence and large
estate could afford, became the victim of a
strange delusion. She was impressed with the
belief that she had extraordinary talents for
the stage, and determined to become an actress.
She did so, and after spending about 100000
in elegant wardrobes, newspaper puffs and
other costly incidentals, was finally hooted off
the stage, the managers refusing to let her ap-
pear ir their theatres on any terms. The dis
comfted actress believes to this day that she
was the victim of envy and spite.
