A Canine Kleptomaniac.
TROY IN. Y 1imes.I


Green Island man has wonderful dog
veritable canine kleptomaniac. Either by
patient teaching or by natural instinct ne
steals whatever he can pick up away from
home. He will sneak into grocery store
and suddenly dash off with mop between
his teeth, or scrubbing- brush or broom, or
anything of light weight If any one places
package within reach the dog will covertly
grab it and run, always taking his booty home
and expecting to be encouraged in his pilfer-
ing. He apparently takes great pride in his
accomplishment, and will not associate with
other dogs but keeps studiously apart by
himself, and is often found gazing into vacan-
CIV, as if maturing marauding expedition or
copcocting daring theft.
He will sometimes be absent from the house
all night and in the morning the earliest riser
of the household will find him crouched on
the rear stoop invariably with booty of some
kind, and generally of some value, in his pos
session. The dog has become SO generally
known, and his reputation so bad. that store
keepers will not allow him to lounge near
their doors, but drive him away on his first
appearance. Marvellous stories are told of his
strength, such as his theft of a half quintal of
Goldfish from groceryman, bag Of buckshot
from hardware store, and small sledge
from blacksmith shop. The most wonder
full achievement was the carrying off of 30
pound frkin of butter from a farmers wagon.
How the animal tugged it home is not known,
but it was found at his masters house and re-
claimed. The dog is mongrel, quick and
active, but an awkward and ungainly little
fellow

THE CIGAR MAKERS.
Their Grievances.

The late cause of dispute between the in
ternal revenue authorities and the cigar
makers is ons of the topics of conversation at
the Custom-House now. 1t appears, accord
ing to the ruling of the Commissioner, twen-
ty-five pounds of tobacco are allowed to the
makers for one thousand cigars, and their
assessments are based upon this ratio. This
in the North where lighter tobaccos are used,
md the sizes of cigars are much smaller, may
be all very well, but in this city this is not
true.
Our manufactures are almost entirely en-
gagged in making the larger apes-Regalia,
Britannica, Chica, Londres, Plantationes and
like sizes. This, of course, necessitates the
use of larger quantity of tobacco, and the
weight for the thousand cigars is fully thirty
pounds, SO that on every five thousand they
are taxed for six.
Another diff renee exists between Northern
and Southern factory cigars, and that is there
the grades, reaching sometimes as low as Sis
per thousand, the stems and what is here con-
sidered refuse is used, whilst here it is thrown
away. This is all counted in the weight and
the Northern factories can readily make their
thousand out of twenty-five pounds, when
ours has to lose. The grades here does not
permit the use of this trash, and yet under
the rulings the cigar makers are charged for
it. The whole matter is referred to Washing
ton, and testimony will be furnished.
A representative of the BULLETIN obtained
many of these facts from both government
officers and cigar makers.

TRANSIT OF GOODS, BAGGAGE AND
PASSENGERS THROUGH CANADA.
Under date Of July 10, our Treasury De-
partment issued the following order:


partment issued the following order:
In order to avoid examination al the port OF ar
rival, all passengers, baggage and express pack
ages, passing in ,transit through Canada, from
one port to another Of the United States, will be
transported in cars sealed at the port OF depar-
ture from the United States. All other baggage
and express matter coming from Canada, except
such ss shall be contained in consular sealed cars,
will be carefully examined at the first port of ar
rival in the United States and if found necessary
for thorough examination, it will be unladen.
The examination will, if practicable, be made
under the personal supervision of deputy col
rector, and collectors will detail as large force
of inspectors as possible to each arriving train,
in order to avoid unnecessary delay thereof. The
examinations heretofore authorized to be made
at Montreal and other places in Canada are
hereby discontinued.
This will enable passengers to pass from
Buffalo to Detroit, through a portion Of
Canada West, without being subjected to the
annoyance of an examination of their persons
and baggage by Canadian revenue officers.
1t will, to q considerable degree, lessen the
chances of smuggling, as well as the disa-
greeable duty of custom-house agents.

ROUGH AND PRIMITIVE.

The Commissioners sent by the Porte to tran
that they are unsuccessful. The whole distric
between Mostar and the Austrian frontier, dowr
nearly as far as Ragusa, is IN a state of revolt
and the insurgents threaten death to all who re
fuse to join them. The Commissioners advise
the Porte to send troops forthwith.
This is style of revolution which prevail.
ed in an earlier and much more primitive
epoch in the worlds history. 1t simpllfes
the process of conquest, leaves no armed ene-
mics in the rear, and settles all disputes
about the powers and prerogatives of the
revolutionary chiefs. Such a revolution
would have warmed the heart of Genghis and
moistened the eyes of Tamerlane with tears
of Joy.

THF ETA OF INVESTIGATIONS.

Gov. Kellogg, it would appear from his re
cent numerous epistolaEy illusions, has beer
seized with virtuous spasm, or with serie
of virtuous spasms rather. He is anxious K
have the Attorney General "go for" any ant
everybody who may have been mixed up il
the criminal affairs, which the trial of Auditor
Clinton threw some additional light upon
If Gov. Kellogg be in earnest, his purpose il
very laudable one, and the Attorney General
would be extremely culpable were he to de-
cline to prosecute the investigations with all
the vigor and energy he can command.
The public would hail with delight any
we'll planned and well sustained attempt to
discover the thieves who have so boldly and
30 successfully plu nderei the State treasury,
but it would grow impatient and disguised
with any movement the real purpose OF
which was to tn row around the raids upon
the public funds greater mystery than ever.
The efforts, SO far, to vindicate the law and
punish transgressors, have been eminently
unsatisfactory, but the insight which the At
torney General has thereby obtained into the
secret workings of the various rings may ena-
BILE him to achieve success at last and bring to
justice the guilty parties, and possibly to re-
cover some, if not all, the money which has
gone into the pockets of the robbers.
One of the most tangible steals of the
many that have been committed was that by
which, upon fraudulent voucher, issued
fraudulently in 1873, by the Chairman of the
House Committee on Contingent Expenses
SIC, 700 was at one fell swoop extracted from
the treasury. This voucher was fraud upon
its face, and Matthews must have known it to
be such, for it was issued to a mythical firm,
u. w. Armstrong & Co., and purported to be
for stationery, when it was well known to the
chairman that another firm furnished station
cry for the Legislature.
1t is hardly possible that the Chairman
was alone in this matter; there must have
been other parties cognizant of it, and who
arc therefore particeps crimiais. This it
would seem offers fine opportunity for the
Attorney General to crafty the desire of the
Governor to have frauds investigated and the
punished.

AND STILL THEY COME.

The Centennial fever is truly epidemic, ani
now Charleston has an attack. and some of the
Western States are evidently suffering from
sympathy. The following extract from the
Savannah advertiser of July 23d gives an &C.
count of the latest phase of the fever:
New YORK, July 21.-At meeting of past
and active members Of the Boston Light In
fantry Association on Monday, proposition
was received from Major GIchrist, of the
Washington Light Infantry of Charleston,
with reference to the organization of q Gen.
tennial Legion from leading veteran organiza-
tons of the Old Thirteen States, to take part
in the national centennial celebration at Phila-
delphia next year, the Legion to consist of
one battalion of light artillery, twelve
companies of cavalry, and ten companies
of infantry = one company each from
New Hampshire, Mas achusetts, Con-
necticut anG Rhode Island. with a field
officer in command selected by these companies,
one each from New York, New Jersey, Delaware
and Pennsylvania, with field officers elected az
aforesaid, each company to be limited to rs men
in all all companies to rendezvous in Phila-
delphia on the I'd Of July, at noon. The PROPOSE
ton also stated that the centennial of the battle
of Fort Moultrie will be celebrated ia Charleston
on the 2Sth Of June, 1876. 1t will be desirable
for as many Of these commands as possible or
thereof to rendezvous in Charles
ton, to assist in the celebration, and proceed
thence to Phil adelphia by rail or steamer, as may
be most practicable.
The plan was well received by the Boston or
ganization, and several members made brief
speeches, urging the acce otance OF the invitation
to attend the Fort MOultrie celebration. Al
though no immediate action was taken, the gen.
erai opinion of the me bsrs was in favor of par
ticpating in the formation Of the proposed
legion.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch

1t is insult to the country, species of tri-
fling deserving of resentment-that either
Delano or his man Smith should be permitted
to remain in official position. They have
evaded inquiry into their mismanagement of
Indian affairs and laughed at their accusers
long enough. Their conduct, added to the
distinctness of the complaints made against
them, warrants belief that they have both
share in the proceeds of the wrong doing by
their subordinates. If full investigation
can not be had, with prospect of punish
ment for ofenses committed, then at least let
them be compelled to yacate.

Society in London.

NJ. u. Conway writes to the Cincinnati Com
'nercidt: For some time there has been oh.
servable in London disposition to make in.
novations upon the conventional ways OF
social entertainment in private life. Theater.
going has for many grown to be serious and
difficult task. For one thing, while the resi-
dences of the wealthy classes have migrated
westward, theaters have remained stationary,
and to visit them implies journey of several
| miles. Then it requires an early dinner
which good society hates. For dinner 6
| o'clock is barely respectable, 7 o'clock ord-
| nary, o'clock fashionable.
The theaters open at 7 and 7:3O, the opera
alone being set at $50, to accommodate the
upper ten. In the next place, numerous as
are the theaters. they are deficient in accom-
mediation. Lately it has become hard to get
even standing room in the best of them.
Under these circumstances, the subject of
home enjoyments has received increasing at
tention Somehow, London seems to have
got tired of dancing When the Shah was
here no remark he made was more relished
than his question to the Prince of Wales
while the dance was going on, "Why do you
not employ servants to do this for you? ?"
The perspiring Prince could hardly explain,
but society generally seems inclined to rele-
gate dancing to the corps de ballet.
This has been especially the case this sea-
son when the new fashionable skirts have
gone to an extreme from the Liberation of the
ballet. A lady was recently heard to say,
with sigh, "What with being tied around
above and tied around below, havn't had a
good square sit down for three months"
When large ball is given there is an apology
for dancing, few mincing steps are taken,
but presently the company falls to admiring
each others dresses, and it all ends in music
and talk. Dancing bids fair to become a
survival, as the antiquarians say.
Even apart from any other entertainment,
the great revolutions which have taken place
in dress make the English drawing room far
more attractive than it formerly was. The
room itself has become more beautiful and less
faring. Unobstrusively quiet walls and rich |
stuffs, but of subdued tints, supply good |
backgrounds for the superb and artistic raj
ment in which the ladies are now habited. l |
feel quite sure that the English ladies are not |
only wiping out the old stigma about their |
taste in dress, but will ere long be noted as
the best dressed people in Europe.

INDIAN ATROCITIES.

On the I'd of July thirty Sioux attacked &
camp of choppers and teamsters near the
mouth Of the Still Water River, Montana Ter
Eitory. Other depredations are reported. The
Governor of the Territory is of the opinion
that this is one of the bands that have steadi
" refused to enter upon treaty stipulations
with the government. The conduct of these
independent bands calls for vigorous meas.
ures of prevention and punishment. A
few thousand savages have given to
the government 80 much trouble, have
caused SO much expense, have so much re-
tarded the process of settlement of the vacant
lands between the Mississippi and the Pacific,
have SO damaged and abused the helpless
women and children of their respective tribes
by their hostile course, and have so fully and
incontestibly proved both their unwillingness
and their unfitness to harmonic with any
civilized system of government, that there
is no further cause or excuse
for delay in dealing with them
- their crimes and their criminal characters
require. Our government has its own way
with the Indians, in spite of any formalities
of Councils, commissioners and trea-
ties. After all the sentime ntal talk
about them, their rights, their hard
ships and their destiny, Congress does
precisely what it plesses. Non-producing,
hwless savages are always in the way. As
obstacles to civilized progress, there should
be no hesitation in limiting their ranges and
establishing over them q strict contrtl ]. with

Races and tribes iwho will not work can not
