A DOG or VAR,

A cynic might be excused for snarl uncom-
monty long and lemOn-like, if he should read
of that British bulldog who is now, with some
geological confusion, one Of the London lions
of the Ashantee campaign. This martial
auadruped accompanied his master to the wars,
and maintained the reputation of his breed,
both as Brihsher and bulldog, by engaging in
the battles equally with the bipeds. His way
was to rush with the rest into the enemy's
ranks, most dreadfully biting the fOeman III the
tenderest parts of his constitution. AS the
Ashantee warriors wore only that uniform
which is of Natures regulation. the facility for
masticating them was great, and greatly was
it improved, so that the animal became quite
the dog-star of the forces. In one battle, he
distinguished himself by actually bringing in
an Ashantee brave as q prisoner of war. During
one heavy engagement, the men suspended
their fire for a moment to allow of his retreat
from a foray uninjured He returned to En-
GLAND safely, but we do not hear that he Is to
be made X. C. B., to have pension, or
even the Victoria Cross, though it wOuld dan
gle prettily enough from his collar. Still, he
is great pet in Belgravia, and will probably
never want for bones or even better rations.
"By Palm Sunday" said Panurge, after a
notable experience, is there any greater pain
than when the dogs have you by the legs ?"
This question he asked after having been
worried "by more than thirteen hundred and
eleven dogs sand We suppose that the
Ashantees though not philosophical, were
of his mind. If dogs are to be generally in
troduced in war, it will be, after all, only q
revival They meet one in the very first
verses of the Iliad, though it is, to be sure,
in the rather disreputable company of the
vultures-" dogs and fowls" as Hobbies has
If in his queer translation. All martial poetry
is full of them, not much to mans credit,
however much to the dogs. Even good DR..
Watts cries "Cave canem" to the lit
tie children and warns them not to "bark
4" and bite" Alas when we have stripped
mere military glory of the adventitious and
he accidental, it isn't much more than bark
ing and biting. This may be in good cause,
TO be sure, just as the dog who, in defense
of his masters endangered goods. takes thief
by the throat, initiates not without glory.
Markedly arragned, war ia but killing and be-
ing killed, which we suppose is what the Duke
of Wellington was thinking Of when he de-
clared that his profession was damnable.'
In spite of all, however, the world has thus
far hit upon no better method of maintaining
right or of warding of wrong, though
of better methods it has always been
in quest. There Is no stretch of philoso-
ply 80 delicate and recOndite as that which
we employ to reconcile ourselves to the bloody
and brutal methods of war; and that resort
to them should, even in the economy of God,
be necessary to viDdication of the right, is
ono of the crowding and jostling mysteries
which beset our speculation, making our finest
moralities unfinished and unsatisfactory.

Articles of War with the Ten Commandments
and the Golden Rule, and we have actua'iy

mined the chivalrous and the sOldier-hke. war
none the less is killing and being killed; none
the less is woe and waste and the temporary
abandonment of divine pity and huiiah

fine sentiments and no thirst for glory,
for with him the stern joy of the Assault
was the beginning and the end. Probably
there have been very few soldiers, celebrated
or obscure, who really loved fighting Tor its
own sake originally. but the tendency TO de-
generate in that direction is one against which
all whose trade is war should sedulousiy
puard. Patriotism, in spite OF the sneers OF
the non-resistants, furnishes just as good
motive for fighting as the Hove OF wiie or

1t looks very much as if Congress would
have more remedies for the Mormon sore"
than can be safely used. Our Washington
dispatches refer to two or three plans now
pending in the House or in the Committee
room all of which are designed to "stamp
"out" pOlygamy. In framing these laws 1t is
found that many things are needed to
assure conviction. A Mormon cannot be
convicted of bigamy unless the jury
is non-Mormon he cannot be reached
except in the most circutous manner; and 1t
is evident that laws framed to meet this
peculiar state of facts will, at least, seem to
violate many principles which are essentially
republican. Some of the difficulties of the
situation appear to have been just discovered
by Congressman; and the largo number OF
projects is good evidence of the increasing
depth of the puzzle.

Judge Donohue has declined to restrain the
Union Pacific Railroad from issuing Sinking

of jurisdiction, but this the Judge also Denied

Although the Spring fingers, we shall have
warm weather upon us soon. The Board OF
Health, taking time by the forelock, has begun
to revise the sanitary code for the better pro-
lection of the city. Last Summer. notwith-
standing the filthy condition of many streets
and byways in the lower part of the city, we
escaped with tolerably clean bill OF
health. This season may not be 30
propitious as to its degree of heat. 1t IS
notorious that the laws of the Board OF Health
are openly defed; and, if hot term should
surprise u.s. by and by, it would find us unpre-
pared. The utmost vigilance is necessary
now and, before long, thorough purillcation
of the slums and hidden ways will be impera-
tiyely needed. We want sweeping elsewhere
than on Broadway and Fifth-ave.

often mentioned in the progress OF this In

witness divulged anything, he helped deepen

LAST Monday, on the Green Bay road
this side Of Powell's place, two Stock
bridge women, who had been visiting
friends in Maple Grove, and were wait
ing on the road for the stage to return
to Green Bay, were walking along leis-
urely when theywere suddenly confront
ed by two full grown lynxes, who seem
ed determined to bar their further pro-
gress Instead of fainting and otherwise
exhibiting the usual weakness of their
sex, the two plucky women persuaded the
lynGes with clubs. but the varmints
stood their ground and snapped deris-
lively at the weapons. At last one Of the
women proposed to stay and watch the
animals while the other went back to the
house for assistance and gun which
was agreed to. Pending the absence OF
the woman and the cessation of hostili-
ties, one Of the lynxes retreated into the
woods, leaving its mate to face the COM
ing trouble, which soon arrived in the
shape of man and gun. The lynx was
killed. - -aSh1,C0uo Journal.

POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS,
Silk Dresses to Burden the Mails, as
Well as the Males.

The recent change in the postal laws
promises to make Onr Postoffice Depart
ment most Important agency for the
convenience and advantage of our people
outside of its ordinary province Of trans
| mitting letters and papers. Under the
operation Of the new and reduced rates
for matter other than ''sealed letters, !"
the Postofice Department viii soon be-
come the most expeditions, as well as
the cheapest and safest express for the
delivery of small and expensive parcels
that there is in the world and if availed
of by our people to the extent that is
possible, the new system will create an
era in some branches of business little
short of revolution, by which the resi-
dents of cities, villages, OF country places
thousands OF miles distant may do their
shopping in the metropolis without
visiting it, and be enabled to deal di-
rectly and at first hand with our dealers
in every branch of merchandise. BY the
new rates to which we have alluded, the
careful TRANSMISSION and prompt delivery
of merchandise parcels is undertaken by
the Postofice Department through the
mails, at the low rate Of one cent for
each two ounces on parcels weighing 4
pounds or less A person at distance
is thus enabled, having first procured
samples from which to make a selection,
which our merchants are ready to for
ward on application being made-to or
der. say for instance, from the great
mercantile establishment of Field, Lei
ter and Co., silk or other dress pattern
weighing pounds, and it will be deliv-
cred at any point in the United States or

AFFAIRS In NLOUISIANA.-The President
has directed the commanding general,
Emory, to reinstate the Kellogg govern
ment, if Gov. Kellogg requests to give
him such military assistance as will en-
able him to discharge all the functions
Of the Executive Of the state. But at
last advices Kellogg has deferred his
Official reinstatement, and it is possible
thag some compromise may be effected
by which the Kelloggits and the Me-
Eneryites VIII settle their difficulties
without the intervention of the army.
1t is conceded in official circles at
Washington that if the United States ar
my is to be used as posse coaaitatus to
sustain the orders of the usurping Kell-
creased in December. 5000, 900 were
OF Congress, and if that five Millions of
taxation is to be relieved to sustain the
carpet-bag administration of Gov Kel-
loge5, there will be such growl through
ont the North as viii be heard at Wash
i,abon. Senator Carpenter we'll said, at
the last session of Congress, that If the
Republican party III the Northern States
had to sustain the rsurping carpet bag
administration Of Gov. Kellogg, the par
ty would go down under the burden.
We think that Indiana-Mr Morton's
state-will utter such a voice in Noyem.

ers will understand that he made the
gravest mistake of his life when his in
