Sothern. the actor, doesn't like to have his
dog form new acquaintance, so he fastens
two very sharp needles to his nose, leaving
the ends projecting about an inch. When a
strange dog rushes up to 'shake noses'' with
him, he gets thrust that sends him off howl
ing, and the effect is such that Sothern's dog
can't get within gun-shot of any other that
knows how the thing works.

appointment OF Col. J. I'll. Howe.

The vacancy oecasioned by the res
ignation of Judge Miller is filed by
the appointment Of the above named
gentlemen. Col Howe has held the
Office of Attorney general of Wiscop-
sin; was Col. of the 32d Wis. Reg.
during the rebellion and more recently
has been the general manager of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.
He is man Of ability, and has ever
proved faithful to the trusts committed
to him. The fact that he has been
connected with big railroad corpora
ton will materially effect his POPULAR,
ty, and cause feeling of distrust in
these times Of easy virtue among all
classes of corporation officials, never
theless, we have an abiding faith in
the appointment, believing the incum-
bent honest, honorable capable and in
nowise unworthy the, trust reposed in
him.

Marshal BaZaine.

The trial Of this eminent Marshal Of
France is at an end and he has been adj
Judged guilty of treason, though out of
respect to his gallantry the term in the
verdict of the jury is stripped of its
hateful import, and a sof er phrase
substituted. Marshal Bazaine was en-
trusted with the command Of Metz. the
most powerful fortress in Europe. He
capitulated it with 100, 600 men and
munitions of war, thereby involving the
loss to France of the fair realms of
Lorraine and Alsace. His sentence
was death, but Pres. McMahon has
committed the sentence to twenty wears
seclusion, and no humiliation to the
unfortunate commander in the strip
ping off of the badges Of honor con
fered for past gallantry. We do not
believe Bazaine guilty of treason, but
he certainly was inefficient, and incom-
petent. He did not in the opinion of
very many betray cowardice, but
rather, indiscretion.

4 Patriotic Act.

We as people sometimes poke fun
at JOHNNY bull, but we appreciate the
warm love Of our father who dwells
over the sea nevertheless. The follow
Ing shows how grand an Englishman
can be, and We are sure every one who
reads it will rise up and call Old Eng
land blessed, and even keep a warm
place in their hearts of hearts for the
old hero. Sir L. Lorraine, has
demonstrated the general fact that
there are ties of brotherhood between
nations:
1.-The commander of the British
man-of-war Niobe, who put stop to
the butcherie8 of the Firginius prison
ers, did not touch his cap when he en-
tered the harbor Of Santiago de Cuba.
as much IS to say ''by your leave.
lie did not, 1t is said, pay the custo-
mary salute to tAe Spanish forts. He
did not wait for the anchor to
touch bottom, but jumped into his boat
and made for the shore before the Mo
be had ceased to move. 1t was the
9TH of November, and fifty more pas
sengers of the Virginius had been or
dered for execution that morning.
He CAME from Kingston in answer to a
telegram from the American Consul,
asking for the presence of an Ameri-
can mar~of-war. There happened to
be none at Kingston, and the captain
Of the Niobe responded to the dis
patch. On landing, he proceeded
straight to the Governor house, and
perempCorily demanded that the execu-
tons should cease The Governor de-
clined to interfere. The captain Of
the Niobe replied that, Gin the absence
Of an American man-of-War, he would
take the responsibility Of protecting
American citizens and guarding the
honor Of the American flag" Pro
tecting American citizens and guard
ing the honor Of the American flag"
which meant, in Eng h, with the N,obe
to back the proposition, the lombard
ment of the town, the curtain to rise
en- the scene in about five minutes af-
ter the captain should set foot on the
quarter deck Of his vessel; SO the
Governor "gave way" and fifty lives
were saved. We do not know the
name Of this gallant sailor, but all
Americans who love the national en-
sign, all humane people who hate cru
city and barbarism, and the fifty doom
ed men snatched from the avs of
death by the heroic act, owe to the
British captain the respect aud graft
tude due to a brave deed"
