Our SOC, 600 dogs, says the St. Louis Repub-
Hcan, furnish one of the most important
economic considerations now affecting the
State. In the first place, they initiate against
the mutton crop annually to the extent of at
least IS, ,OOO, 900: secondly. they cost at an av-
erage of twenty-five cents week each, &c.
100000, enough to run all our common
schools and leave large stealable surplus;
thirdly, they slay annually, through hydro
phobia, at least 120 persons, which, lat $5,-
600 each-the average price paid by railroads
for the very poorest grade of breakesman)
amounts to the further sum of 5000, 900.
Here is direct expenditure of nearly seven
and three-quarter millions for dogs, not to
mention the fines, costs, and more remote
and sentimental damages resulting from law
suits about dog fights and consequent sever
aucc of friendships between the owners of
the eombative ours. Add to this the annual
expenditure, in the city for old boots, cham
Der crockery, paper weights, boOtjacks, and
such other articles as may he most readily
utilized of moonlight nights, and it will occur
to the most prejudiced friend of the dog that
he is an animal wherein retrenchment could
be practiced to advantage in these economi-
cal days. Capitalized, our dogs represent
waste Of $80, ,00O, 900, and invested at COM
pound interest, one year of their aggregate
worthlessness would pay of the national debt
before 1890. -..

The sale Of Diamonds.

A Paris correspondent writes: "The sale
of Mile. Duverger's diamonds drew an inn
mense crowd at the Hotel Dronot the other
day. The jam was perfectly terrific, and, as
usual, the greater number of the persons pres
ent had no intention of buying, but were
brought thither by mere curiosity. The mag
nificent necklace, which contained twenty
seven large diamonds of the purest water,
was the first article sold. 1t was not disposed
of in one lot, but was divided into fourteen,
which produced the sum of 15O, 900 francs.
The earrings, which were composed of two
superb solitaires, with pendants, each formed
of single pear shaped diamond, were sold
for 70, 600 francs, while single large rectan-
gular diamond brought SO, 900 francs. The
most beautiful of all the ornaments is yet to
be sold. It is brooch formed of q large sap
phire set in diamonds, and with sappire
pendant. This superb trinket is said to have
cost zoo, 900 francs { $40, ,000)! Who would
not be French actress? The oldest part of
the sale was the disposal of the morocco and
velvet cases which had once contained these
sparkling treasures, and which in several in
stances were stamped with the coat Of arms
of the noble or royal donor. This lot was
sold to an old clothes vender of the Rue de
Provence for the sum of 90 francs."

Through tie aid of the imagination men
gain much mt:re comprehensive and satisfy
ing views of: the invisible God than they
could get of him through the senses If he
were visible before them. 1dolatry, the wor-
ship OF visible God, has always been bad,
whether the ilol was in the shape of rare
Apollo. or whether il was in the shape of a
church, or whether it was in the shape of a
creed Any God that men can fix their lower
senses upon and rest in is bad for the race
The necessity of men to lift themselves above
their lower range of faculties, and make
their life in the realm Of the invisible, out of
the reach Of the senses, and develop their
nature up and away from the physic and
matcrial-that is the grand civiiizing and
Christainizing necessity of the race. And to
have our Savior present with us would be to
smother those instincts on which our elcva-
ton and spiritualization depend; while to
have him absent from US in heaven is to have
above lis bright flame like blaze of fire,
circuitirg higher and higher to where Christ
sits at the right hand of God.-Henry Ward

Here is good story which has not yet
found its way into print, but for the truth of
which can vouch. Lord George Gordon, a
young man of four and twenty, wishing to
marry n certain young lady, went quite re-
Gently to ask the permission of his father, the
Duke of Argyle. The Duke, pompous little
man, replied in effect, my son, since our
house has been honored by being united with
the royal family, have thought it right to
delegate decision ON all such matters to
your elder brother, the Marquis of L0rne.
Go, therefore, and consult him." The Mar
quis of Lorne, on being applied to, said, MY
dear brother. in a case of Importance like this
should think it right to ask the decision of
the Queen, the head of the royal family, into
which have married" The Queen, on the
matter being laid before her, declared that
since her terrible bereavement she had been
in the habit of taking no steps without con-
sulting the Duke of SAKE -Coburg, the brother
of her deceased husband. To the Duke, then,
the case was referred, and from him letter
was received, telling his dear sister-in-law
that recent political events had induced him
to do nothing, even as to the giving advice,
without the express concurrence OF the En-
perOr William, before whom he had laid the
matter. The Emperor William wrote long
letter. declaring that, though he was sur
rounded by counselors, there was only one
who had on all occasions proved himself cor
rect, loyal, and faithful, and without whose
advice he 0he Emperor) would give no deci-
sion. Therefore, he had referred the matter
to his faithful Minister, Prince Bismarck.
And it is narrated that, when Prince Bis
marck was made acquainted with the subject,
he rOared out: "G0tt in Hina,nel! what
fuss about nothing! Let the boy marry whom
he pleases, so long as she is young anG pretty

Doctors, Fees m New York Clty.

A physcian in good practice will receive
patients at his office four hours daily, and
make calls for about the same length of time.
From ten to twenty callers, and half as many
house patients, would be a fair average; the
fees would be 50 and IS each. At these
figures it would not he hard to make up all
income of $50, 600 or more. 1t is said of DR..
Willard Parker, believe, that having been
called out Of town to attend II patient, he re-
turned bill Of $500, and when it was dis
puted he showed by his books that his daily
receipts were much over that sum. Surgeons
single charges arc much larger than those OF
physicians, though the incomes of the latter
are probably the highest. For ordinary at
tendance their rates are about the same, or
say IS visit From $25 upwards IS the
charge for operations For setting an arm or
leg $3.50 would be asked, larger undertakings
being in proportion. For a case requiring Il
delicate operation and six weeks constant
attendance, sometimes two or three times
day, ST 900 was lately asked by leading
surgeon. In another erinstanec, where wealthy
gentleman was badly jammed by railroad
car, he was attended by DR.. James X. Wood,
who made about dozen visits, without any
important operation, and sent in bill of
$4,000, which was paid. This is exceeded by
DR.. CarnOchan, who charged $4,000 for an
operation alone, while another surgeon is said
to have received $4,000 from one patient.
The prices charged by dentists are quite rs
high as those of physicians. 4 man of ord
mary reputation in the profession will ask
from IS to $50 for pulling single tooth,
while Mr.. Atkinson, one of the most fashion,
able dentists, is reported to charge $40 for
simply examining person teeth and $25 an
hour for operating upon them, and has brought
in bill of $500 for filling single tooth.
Many people refuse to pay these fancy prices.
but It is common thing to have to pay from
$40 to 800 for dentists bills. Most practi-
TONERS of any reputation have engagements
very far ahead. Ten days is q short time to
wait for your turn, while friend of mine,
who went to Europe in the middle of last
October, on applying to her dentist FOR treat
ment, wab told that he could not give her
single hours heed until February, or nearly
four months in advance. Dentists are kept
busy all the year round, and seldom have any
leisure. Their practice is confning, and not
healthy, but it is very profitable. Their in
comes range from S., 600 to $4,000 a year,
while they have no expenses for carriage
hire, books, or travel, and not very heavy
outlay for materials and keeping up their
ofices.-N. Y. Correspondence Springfield

An ALABAMA FOKeH h00Os
From the Louieville Courier-JournaL
Mr.. John Glades: The following is an incl
dent of recent occurrence which, we think
down here, would not be entirely devoid of
interest to you.
The parties to it were Bill J-,the Sheriff
of our county Colbert), who like himself,
is q jealous Christian poker player, who would
''straddle" your 8 blind quicker than he
would his horse Ephraim" to serve pro-
cess, and says he would rather beat ''Jack
full'' for you than capture the whole of the
"Gads Hill gang, and prosperous Teu-
two were travelling on the cars, and in order to
euchre. After playing some time the jolly
Dutchman leethis seat to get a drink of water,
and Bill, knowing that he, too, had pen
chant for poker, took advantage of his alb
sence and dealt him hand with four kings
in it, and turned up the qu' n for trump.
Returning in q moment ant. lifting his hand,
s. ut once conceived the brilliant idea of
playing the hand at poker, and accordingly
suggested it to Bill, who consented, procided
that lie might be allowed to discard one of
his cards and take up the queen. To this ).
at once agreed, and the game proceeded.
Says S.: "Bill, bets YOU five dollar" In
turn Bill raised him ten more "Well, said
s., "fifteen dollar will joost pay mine ex-
pensc und some odder tings, and calls you,
Bill" at the same time exhibiting his hand
with four kings, and reaching for the money.
"Hold on" says Bill, II have four aces."
Nervously, and in silence, the astonished
Dutchman gathered the cards and shuf1ed
them for moment or two. Then, with his
chin resting on both clenched hands, and his
eyes staring into uncertainty, he exclaimed:
II say, Bill, now joost you told me cot de
h-N dot queen had to do NIT dot Aand!"
And up to this good hour his mind is per-
picked continually to find the part that card

The Latest Invention.

The latest invention calculated to do away
with human skill is patent piano player, by
which ON aspirant for musical distinction can
perform the most difficult pieces without the
preliminary tortures known as practicing, or
those terrOrs to the infant mind called scales.
This wonderful machine owes its birth to
Paris. 1t occupies position in front Of the
key board of the piano, and extends above
the key board to the floor. Over the keys of
the piano are keys corresponding to the keys
beneath them These are the fingers Of the
machine, and they have this advantage over
the human hand, that they have finger for
every note. The top of the machine is about
one foot in width. 1t has in the center two
rollers, which are moved by a crank. These
carry the music through, and a. it passes the
piano plays it. The music is on paper, and
the notes are made by cutting holes in squares.
As these holes pass certain point they allow
. hammer to pass through, and the stroke of
that hammer Is communicated to its own key
on the plano. Each key has its hammer. It
only requires that these holes be cut at proper
intervals to strike any number of keys In any
given series. The machine can be adaptedt0
any tnsosument with keys.

The Hero Of Santiago de Cuba.
rom the New York Times, April 18th.


The joint committee of the Common Coun-
Gil appointed to make arrangements for re-
cognition in behalf of the people of this city
of the services of Sir Lambton Lorraine in
nobly saving the Virglnius prisoners, met
yesterday in General Pincknev's office, in the
City Hail. The committee consists of Alder
men Vance, Van Schaick and GilOn, and AS
sistant Aldermen Thesis, Kreps, and Kelly.
MIR. Vance presided and explained the object
of the session. The following was then un-
animously adopted:
The action of Sir Lambton Lorraine at
Santiago de Cuba. il November, 1873, when,
as captain Of II. B. NJ. ship Niobc, he inter
fered for the protection of the survivors OF
the Virginius, deserves the most honorable
notice from the authorities of this city.
His conduct in this affair was the more
Maiseworthy because he took on himself the
responsibility of immediate and vigorous
action, and it is gratifying to US to hear that
his conduct was so quickly followed by pro-
motion.
To use his own modest language, he is
proud ''if any efforts of his have tended to
save the lives of American citizens for,
said he, BLOOD is thicker than water, and
the people of England have strong af-
fection for their American COUSINS" there
fore
Resolced That the heartfelt thanks of the
citizens of New York are due to Admiral the
Right Honorable Sir Lambton Lorraine,
Royal Navy, for his manly and gallant con-
duct. when, as Captain of Her Majesty's fri
gate Niobe,, he SO promptly interfered for
the protection of the lives of American citi-
zens, survivors of the steamer Virginius, at
Santiago de Cuba, in November, 1873.
Rtso1red, That his Honor Mayor Have
meyer be requested to forward copy of these
resolutions to the right honorable gentleman,
and with them to tender the hospitality and
freedom of the city.
The resolutions were signed by the men,
bers of the committee, and they are also to be
signed by the Mayor. The chairman ap-
pointed Alderman Van Schaick to consult
with Admiral Lorraine as to the time when
he would be ready to receive the testimonial.
The committee then adjourned.
