In reperusing your valuable journal OF the 18th

earnestly beg q small space in your powerful
and widely read journal to add few remarks on
this very important subject. .Justicen Is right

held equally responsible with railroad corpora

That may befall person or persons through any
act or want OF proper care their part to protect
the puolic or private persons from injury caused
by their own misdeeds. WHAT is more narrowing
or horrible to the hapess victim than the bite OF
dog, with the certainty almost or prematurely
ending his days with hydroph0bas The owner OF
the offending dog should be held rgidly to &C.
count, and that, too. in the light OF murderer.
The canine race are not necessity to we .hu.
mans, nor are they necessary to the safety or
wehbetng OF society. They can only and Justly be
regarded In the light Of luxury. and dang
one, too; and people keeping them should be made
To smart Tor their misdeeds. Should pet bear or
any other naturally Ier0cious and savage animal

hold the owner OF the same to strict account

The fact that the soldiers in the army
can make money by not drawing their
clothing, and yet not go naked. and stand
inspection military and sanitary, proves
that the supply Of clothing allowed by the
law Of the army is excessive, and there
fore waste of the peoples money. The
average amount paid last year to each reg
iment in the service for clothing not drawn
was $9,72O6l. For the forty regiments
this senseless waste by over allowance was

covered in the British army, and the re-
sponsibility for it could be fastened on Mr.
Disraeli, he would go out of Office within a
week after the discovery. This maladmin-
istration would be called a crime in Eng
land, and it would ruin the strongest
statesman in the empire. In our Repub-
lican Senate and House of Representatives
it does not attract particle of attention

egar BitterS are q purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the ma
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of
tie Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
MIA, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of VINEGAR BIT-
TERs?" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and lnvlgorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of VINEGAR BITTERs in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation OF
