"TURN TIE STATE OYER no TIE
GENERAL GOVERNJfEN1n'

The recommendation of the member
to turn the State over to the general
government us bad job" is not lame
idea, and shows how rotten things are
generally where the member figures.
"The party" have run the machine for
seven years, until they have exhausted
almost the superdemon resources ofthcir
villainny i'll bcggaring the people, and
loading the State with an unjust debt.
They began with the boast that they
would teach the "Bourbons' what good
government meant. They have had
fair trial, and Ali Baba and his forty
thieves are mere tyros to these self con
stitutcd rulers. They began with lie,
they have continued with unrcmittinr
fraud, and today they arc n spectacle
of rocking, putrid yillainny, without
peers outside Of o pirate cabin. Year
after year they levied, higher and higher
the tax; it has been paid by patient
people. Now a new tax higher in per
centage, and upon property rated higher
in valuation, is TO be gathered, and in
spite of the figures which show up their
extravaganza and stcalage, they havethc

Shoeing a Camel.

A traveller from Pekin to Sibe.
ria across the great desert of Go.
bi, tells US that whenever a cam.
els feet become very tender and
sore from long marches, the poor
creatures lie down. His driver
knows at once his feet hurt him,
and he looks to see if the thick
skin of the feet is blistered.-
Whenever blister is found, two
or three strong men, usually Mon
gels, keep watch OF the camel un-
til it is not noticing them. At
just the right moment they make
"a rush altogether upon the camel,
throw it over upon its side, and
make it fast. Then with a nee
die made for that use, they sew a
square piece Of leather large E.
nough to cover the hurt place over
the camel's foot, the skin Of which
is quite thick enough to sew
hroueh3Mithout. hurting the ami
NAL. With his new shoes on, the
camel is quite ready to get up and
march on. The pieces of leather
are very carefully prepared for
this use. It sometimes happens
that a camel lies down in the
midst Of his long march across
the wide desert, and dies. The
natives take the thickest part of
the skin to make shoes Of. These
bits Of skin they take cut, day
after day, when on the march,
and pull them until they become
soft and yielding, and a camel
with bIistered feet seems grateful
to have shoes made of it, although
he would resist the shoeing to the
last were. he not held so that he
could not move

IL Tiger Traps.

4 writer in the London Times
tells how they trap tigers in In
Edia, and describes the trap in use
in Some parts Of the country.-
Strong posts are fixed in the
ground so as to form a circle of
palisades ten OF twelve feet in
diameter. Another large cir
rclesis formedin the same way
outside the other, leaving a
space of a foot and a half be-
tween the two. In the other
circlea small door is made Of a
idthequal tothe space between
the circles. A goat or calf is
tied to a post in the centre, and
the door is opened, so that it
stands across the space between
the, circles. The tiger. comes
and walks round, the outer cir
Gle till he finds the entrance
He enters, and walks round the
space till he emeetsthe open door,
which hepushes back to its place.
The space is too narrow for him
to turn round or exert his great
strength, and he continues to
walk round and round until
morning,when he is easily killed,
and the bait extracted unhurt.

button"

Without naming any special
enterprise which may or may
not be exceptional, as far as
what we desire to state is APP
plicable to it, we would say that
tits in general a mistake to sup
pose that a publication which
is distributed gratuitously has
any peculiar advantages for the
advertiser. This point is very
often claimed for these ephem-
eral journals and the statement
frequently made that, because a
paper is free, it will be more ac-
ceptable to the reading public,
and more carefully perused.-
But it is well known to some adj
vertisers, and should be remem-
bered by ALL. that neither state
ment is apt to be correct. Peo-
pie are quicker to take what
they pay for. They are more
apt to read a paper thoroughly,
under those conditions, and
think much more Of it, while
they will put aside as worth
less, half-read or not read at
all, paper which they suppose
to be Of little value because it is
given away. Advertising which
Is given away, is thrown away.

Stokes $1,000 Dog.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
There is S1l, 1000 dog in this
city. This is a bare statement of
fact. The way of it is this: The
now uncomGortably famous Alr
Stokes, of the New York Tombs
owned setter reputed the best
hunting dog in the city. Mr.
IIarker, the owner of the noted
stables whose chief .glories are
now at Hampden Park awaiting
the fall meeting, wanted the set.
ter and tried to purchase him
But Stokes had just refused 5000
tor him, and didn't want to sell
the dog. Finally, however, he
told Harker that as perhaps bis
hunting days were over, although
he would not sell, he would make
him (Harker) a present of the
dog. The generous Harker would
not, however, accept the friendly
offer without a reciprocal one, and
as he had offered 81, 900, engaged
TO give him the profit within a
specific time op 1000 shares of
a certain railroad stock. a rapid
turn in the market brought the
aforesaid stock to an advance OF
81 a share, and that he offered
promptly TO make over to Stokes
for the setter. The speculative
young man, however, eaid, "Let
it wait a while: perhaps shall
makemore yet" Instead of more
he made less; the stock fell as
swiftly as it had risen, and drop
ped fat on the market. So for
a little while the setter that Mr..
Harker prises SO highly, aud that
can be seen by the curious in
IIampden Park, was worth $ll,
900. What a halo of glory en-
compasses that remarkable dog.
