Not OririnnI IN Rending.

The following paragraph, which we clip from
the news columns of our good neighbor, the
Reading Times and Dispatch is not, we believe,
original with the journal. This we judge not
because Of long item, printed just over it, word
for word from the COMMERCIAL, without credit,
but because our contemporary usually expresses
itself in different and better style. This para
graph reads as if it came from one Of the cheap
ly-bribed organs of the Philadelphia Ring, most
of Which are equally slaves of the Reading Mo
nopoly -
''For several days past the Wilmington Con-
MERCIAI. has been trying to raise Cam around the
ears of tile Philadelphia and Reading Coal ant
Iron Company though for what purpose. we are
into the ring and dared the Monopoly to come
on. The Monopoly remained quiet, but the
largest coal firm in that city, Chas. Warner Il
Co, answered its challenge, and the COMMERCIAL
must hereafter take back seat. Messrs War
ner u Co. deny that the establishment Of a Goa
yard in their city by the Philadelphia Coal ans
Iron Company, would enhance the price of coal
would result in cheap coal for the consumers \
competitors for transportation to and from tia
city with the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
they say, that they have never known them T.
resort 10 Anything in this competition that the
would not have resorted to- lad they held thei
position Thus falls the structure SO heavil
bmlded with startling headline and thriliu
paragraphs
If, however, the Times anil Disp1tcb is nc
Informed as to tie character and methods o
tile Monopoly, We can readily refer it to citizen
of reading who can give the required informs
ton in full.

New york,s Dog Kllling.

Fourteen hundred dogs killed thus far in the
New York summer campaign not merely home
less ours then, for Constantinople itself could
not furnish canine yagrants to that extent so
many family is the poorer for the loss of an
affectionate friend as the offset to the gain Of a
canicidal half-dollar. The great majority of the
slain, it is understood, are poor, underfed ours
of that indefinite breed which a little boy of our
acquaintance proudly claimed for his dog, ''pure
mongrel !" so dog-fanciers may think it very
well to have that much trash put out of the way
But dogs of pure blood and high descent are too
costly possessions for the poor, and experience
shows that ''worthless cur may have as low
ing and faithful dog-heart, be as true pro-
tector and as jolly playmate to the family cir
Gle of ragged children whose best possession he
often is, as the finest canine aristocrat in the
land.
1t may be this slaughter was a necessary one
though it is notable fact that three out of foui
of the cases Of hydrophobia which have shocked
tho community into panic, have been owing to
bites given by petted and well-cared for dogs
which never roamed the streets, Instead of the
poor NANCY yagabonds of the fourteen hundred
1t may be, too, it is well for the "puir beasties
themselves to leave life which brings then
mostly hunger and hard usage but it ia sorrow

to drag an old playmate aud fliend to the sham
