BLooDHoUNDs. These fierce animals were
carefully cherished in Spain, and valued highly
by their too often cruel masters. The Spanish
adventurers, when they set about the conquests
OF the New World. seem to have found them
suitable companions indeed, both in the Low
Countries and on the coast OF Mexico and Pe.u,
states one Of our authorizes, these dogs took an
active share in their masters proceedings. They
drew their rations as regularly as did the solders
and many wretched Indian must have been
tracked by them through the dense fo1s and
underwood" After the many terrible tales
which have been heard of the fearful fate of
those hunted down by these detectives it is quite
q relief to come upon one bright little episode
| connected with them.
A Cuban bloodhound, which, IN his days. it is
stated had tracked out and torn to pieces no less
than three hundred Victims was one day SGT
| upon an Old Indian woman by Il certain Captain
Jagode Senadza, who had sent her Of under the
pretext Of delivering letter. The dog. over
taking her, was about to spring at her fnriously,
when, frenzied with terror, the Hretched woman
flung herself upon her knees before it, and in
| agonizing terms sought it to spare her. Tie
savage brute, which, says our informant, had so
often wailowed in Indian biaod, instantly became
gentle, and faTninG upon the poor woman, ac-
conlpanied her upon her Grand thus putting its
nhuman master to shame. Unfortunately for
humanity, this is not a solitary instance Of the
superiority of Bruno over his MASTER for even in
our own day, many men display cruelty toward
those under their domain from which dogs would
shrink in apparent disgust.
John D. Lee, who is accused OF having been the
principal actor in the massacre OF Mountain
Meadow, and is now in jail in Utah, wants his
trial hurried up-so that he can prove bis inne-
cence of the charge, and do something to sup.
port his sixty-two children. He also wishes to
leave his progeny the legacy of spotiess name.
He is 62 years old, and is native Of Randolph
county,, Ill. He was gambler in early life,
married young and Joined the Mormons at Maui
700 in 1886. He has been the husband Of over
dozen wives, and has several sealed women be-
sides. John D. Lee is man OF family, and he
thinks himself prosecuted to the injury Of those
dependent upon him. His property is nearly all
gone, he having only $50 horses left and few
wagons. Twenty-tour Of his children are abso-
lutely dependent upon him, the oldest of these
being only 16 years OF age. He will conduct his
own case before the courts, and has no doubt
that he will be able to get a verdict OF not
guilty" even before jury Of Gentiles.
Banting's celebrated system Of reducing
flesh involved too much sacrifice to become
popular. Another system is now announced,
which, being simple and pleasant, should
become fashionable. II is merely this: Rise
at o'clock and drink three glasses of kreut-
zen water, eat two boiled eggs and a roll drink
a cup Of tea, take an hours vapor-bath, good
rub and a cold-water bath; then rub the body
with vinegar. Then take brisk walk for an
hour or two, after which consume meat or
fish, vegetables, fruit. without sugar, two rolls
and bottle Of wine; for the six succeeding
hours walk about in the forest Gf there be one
handy and then dine upon cold meat, boiled
fruit, half a bottle Of wine, and roll of bread.
This alone would have no effect, being merely
a basis Of general treatment. TO make it
efectual the patient must take ten alkaline
pills daily, five in the morning and the same
at night. 1t will not surprise the reader that
the first patient to Try this easy remedy re-
duced himself from 80 to $50 pounds in six
or seven months. Whether this was due to
the diet or the pills, however, is question
for the individual to determine.
