For several days Justice Miller has
been hearing dog case which developed
a strange phase of canine life. A.
brought replevin suit for the posses
sion of valuable dog known as of the
cur breed. B. had possession of the dog
and claimed it as his property. Six wit
nesses on each side, all good citizens,
swore positively that the dog had been
with A. and B. This impossibility was
a most difficult legal problem for Justice
Miller to solve. The dog had been at each
place for three years past, recognized
each master by wagging its tail, and an
swered to two different names. Such q
dog is mystery, and how he duplicated
himself and got doubled is one of those
things that no fellow has been able to
find out. During the trial the dog
walked in and out of court, listened at
tentively to the evidence, and occasion
ally got up on chair and stared at the
justice, as if he wished to be sworn as a
witness; but who could act as interpre-
ter2 There are many people in Memphis
who act the dog to perfection, and who
talk dog, but yet, under the laws of Ten
nessee, 10 four-footed dog is permitted
to testify in court of justice. Justice
Miller gave the dog to A., but informed
B. that he could appeal the case to the
Circuit Court and take it up to the
Supreme Court, if he so desired.

Ii you get into conversation with a
French woman who is obliged to work
for her living, and il circumstances per-
init you TO draw her out concerning the
comparative worth of Frenchmen and
French women in her rank OF life, ten
to one she will conclude with some re-
mark not highly complimentary to the
sterner sex. 1t ia inevitable that this
should be so If she is a woman OF acute
ness aud spirit. Any one who is IN the
least familiar with the peculiarlties OF
French life must have remarked how
large a proportion of the work IS done
by women. In the provinces you may
remain at hotel week after week and
have no intimation that man IS inte-
rested in the proprietorshlp, unless
some accident occurs to direct.
your attention to some quiet, lounging
creature who winds the clock once a
week, or goes out and comes IN with a
market basket. In this respect there is
some resemblance to the state OF affairs
that the late Lord Lytton describes in
THE Coming Race" The women seem
to hold the upper hand, and to exert 1t
in a manner not ungracious or devoid OF
force. 1t gives you new idea OF life to
see a woman with swarthy features and
very perceptible line of hair upon the
upper lip, giving imperative, almost
imperious directions to some mild
looking animal who is her husband, but
whose countenance bears no witness to
surreptitous henpeckery.

hin--meaning the Etheridge civil right

negroes were his friends because the men
they supported for the Legislature shame
lessly proclaimed that they wore John.
son collar" and these negroes swallowed
Etheridge, his collar" and his leader,
Andy johnson. My original figures OF
the white Democratic support given to
johnson are, as have said, nearly cor
rect. But say that they were not ex-
actly so, if you please; no one who does
not wear the johnson collar will TOR
an instant claim that his strength among
Democrats went over 1000. 1t is non
sense to say that the supporters OF his
Legislative ticket-put forth by himself
and his ring" the headquarters of
which is not far from Jefferson street
did not drop side vote for him also.
II is not in the nature Of politics to have
been otherwise. And this Johnson
Etheridge Legislative ticket polled 3487
votes in the city, and Mr.. johnson can
fairly claim hard on 5000 of them as
having given old Andy lift, and the
Secretary of the Executive Committee
can't we'll efface this fact from the minds
of this people. To be liberal, then, |
will concede 1000 white Democratic
votes TO johnson, and all those Demo-
Gratis who refused to vote for him or did
not vote for Senator, in all fairness,
should be set down against him. Casey
Young received the Democratic vote OF
the city Of Memphis, and that was 1851,
1000 of which we will put down for John
son, and 1851 against him. And no
statement from either the Secretary or
Chairman of the County Executive
Committee, or both of them together,
can honestly make it otherwise.

pages, an the gene raj index of 20 pages.
1t is dec ided imp rovement upon its i'm

sion to com. uent pom so favorably. la
ken altogeth er it aakes volume OF great
value to the TEACHER. editor and friend of
liberal educati.oi. The report has been
urepsred eyid eni ly with great care, which
accounts for its l,lte appearance. A vast
quantity of educational statistics, COM
piled from the reports of State superin-
tendents and the heads Of the various
educational institutions, not dependent
upon State aid or even on endowments,
has been most Systematically arranged
under appropriate headings. There is
very little of interest relating to the ed
vocational resouIc ICES, systems and pecu.
liarities of the country which is not here
clearly set forth. 1t is the crystalized
production of many hands, all supervised
and directed by General Eaton. With
out attempting to go into details at pre-
sent, we can say of him that he is the
right manin the right place. Thoroughly
educated and enlisted in the cause of
public instruction, he has brought order
out of chaos, perfected his bureau, en-
larged the scope of its operations, kept
himself in correspondence with the best
educators and minds of the times, trav-
eled to Europe to examine the systems
there, and brought to bear an enthusiasm
and energy that few men possess. de
has already accomplished great work,
and we hope may be spared many years
to occupy his present sphere of useful
ness. Hereafter we will make such ex-
tracts as may be of public and local
interest, especially if any question affect
ing our public schools should require the
attention of the next Legislature.

such plan is felt by all. Fine cassi-

Editor of the Ledger:

To the Editor of the Ledger;
The Avalanche of Sunday brought in
the Secretary of the Shelby County Elk
ecutive Committee to make Johnson's
proposed bill of purchase of our Legis-
iative members more solid, " as it we're,
to borrow q piece of its celebrated face
tiousness. The aforesaid Secretary, like
Chairman Waldron, wears the self same
johnson collar" that the Emerson
Etheridge ticket boldly proclaimed en-
comprised its individual necks, and his
statement is the same color that the
Avalanche would make we're it the whole
Secretary instead Of half. johnson got
1901 Democratic votes, he says, in the
First, Second and Third wards. Let's
see. Casey Young polled 1887 votes in
those wards Emerson Etheridge, the
leader of the bona 6de and only John
son ticket in the field, polled All votes
in the same boxes, and these went into
the Johnson sink-holes put there by no
valid authority TO receive legal or illegal
ballots, lust as they came. Take these
All Radical votes from the 1901, and you
find 1924 votes for johnson counting
the fraudulent ones and ALL, which are
of white Democratic complexion. But
it is safe to say-and the number Is per
haps too small-that 300 Of the 1924
could not have been legally deposited
in the lawful boxes for either Casey
Young or Etheridge. One enthusi-
astic friend Of Mr.. johnson
made the remark in my hearing that be
himself had voted seven times for John
son, because, as be pleasantly explained,
he wanted to give old Andy lift, and
that lots Of others done the same thing
