A Girl Not OF the Period.-The Seaford
Citizen of last week tells the following
story Of Harrisburg, Pa, girl, whose
name is Clara Hale: Miss Hale has been
on visit to some of her friends on the
Eastern Shore. On Tuesday morning last
she went out and in a short time succeeded
in bagging sixteen cartridges and three
squirrels. The night Of the same day she
shot eight muskrats, two Of which, how
ever, she failed to get. On the next after
noon she gave few invited friends an ex-
hibition of her skill in handling the re-
volver. An old-fashioned copper cent was
fastened to fence post, and she hit it
eight times out of ten. Several pigeons
were let out of the trap, every one of which
she brought down while they we're on the
wing. Miss Hale is beautiful brunette,
about seventeen years old, and her form is
OF tho most perfect symmetry.
The last clause is superfuous; of course
any girl who takes such free exercise in the
open air cannot fail to have form of most
perfect symmetry.

THE had DOG QUESTION.


For yet another season the
great canine and canicular prob
lens are before the public. Bergh
will begin TO rage and the dog star
will be mentioned; muzzles will come
into the foreground; learned veterina-
rians will be brought forward to prove
that hydrophobia is a delusion, and
that it would be better fer society if
there were more of it; and, finally. the
Aldermen will ordain that all loose
dogs shall be impounded and otherwise
legally dealt with, and in
turn will be denounced for ignor-
ance and barbarity. We regard it as a
very satisfactory ignorance, however,
which In the doubt and apprehension
that naturally surround the disease of
hydrophobia In dogs and men results
IN giving us the certainty of not en-
countering, in every few miles Of our
streets, fror. ten to fifty wretched and
ownerless ours. 1t is clear enough le-
gally, We suppose, that the owner of a
dog which bites a person is responsible
in damages; but who is responsible
where the owner is not found? Pre-
sumably it must be the city, which by
its negligence permits these ours to
roam the streets. And the only way
the city has to protect itself is to clear
the streets Of these useless and mis-
chieyous creatures.

BOSS TWERn,s HOPES.

Jay Gould is mentioned among the
prospective bOndsmen of the Boss, +"
and his absence from the city Is given
as one of the reasons for delay in
making out the 100000 that is de-
manded. Efforts, however, will be
made to reduce the amount of bail.
Next Tuesday David Dudley Field will
argue before Judge Brady his motion
to quash all the fourteen indictments.
Those of a criminal character will be
first attacked on the ground that they
are substantially, though not techni-
cally, .repetitions of the omnibus in
dictment upon which the criminal was
tried before and convicted. Five of the
indictments, it is claimed, are based on
a single warrant, and four Of those
must therefore fall to the ground. As
TO the civil suits, Mr.. Field will urge
their dismissal on the ground that the
Legislature bad no right to give the
people" authority to sue In place
of the County," and that the law
giving the people this right was
clearly unconstitutional. The law, in
his opinion, could not take away the
right of the county to sue. When
asked whether he really expected to
carry this important point, he said,
Certainly, if not here then before the
Court of Appeals" and he added with
a significant smile, at will depend a
good deal upon the Judge before whom
the motion will be argued" At all
events, it is thought that issue will not
be made on more than one or two of
the indictments. If the authorities
should try them all, IN case of failure,
sne after another, the court of Oyer
and Terminer would be occupied for
years. Such are the sanguine views of
Tweed's counsel, but we should not be
surprised if the Attorney General and
Charles O. ConOr secured his conviction
in hort order on the first case taken
up. It is thought, however, that bail
viii be obtained, and Tweed viii walk
the streets again free man until Oc-
tober or November. 1t is not easy to
force an earlier trial without seeming
discrimination against him.

The financial plank of the platform
adopted BY the Ohio Democracy has
elected a wonderful amount of editori-
al comment to praise or blame. All of
this goes to show that neither Of the
two great parties is a unit upon that
subject. Initiation and contraction,
paper money and hard money, national
banking and free banking, each has its
advocates, and It's opponents in both the
Democratic and Republican ranks.
The hard money Democrats of the East
say that the Democracy Of Ohio will
ruin the prospects of the party and for
felt the national honor; the anti-con.
traction Democrats Of the South and
West insist that the hard money rulers
have already ruined commerce and
labor and thereby brought upon US
financial panies and paralysis of trade.
Perhaps neither are altogether right
nor altogether wrong. But, at any
rate, all this discussion, while it shows
that there is not unity in either party,
also shows that in both parties national
finances are believed to be gravely i'm
p)rtant. All platform declarations
must, for the present, consist in a
great degree of glittering generalities.
Until the pablo mind becomes better
informed, clearer and more definite in
its reasonings and conclusions, it is
well that this should be so.
We do not anticipate that division
and disoord in the Democratic ranks
which the present discussions and
wranglings would indicate. Fur
Their reflection, further discus
sion, further developments may
point out more clearly the errors
of the present and show more clearly
the true policy to be pursued in the
future. In the next House of Repre-
sentatives We shall have prudent and
sensible Democratic majority; in the
Senate, we have a respectable, prudent
and sensible minority. From the joint
elaboration and joint action Of these
two We have reason to hope that the
Democracy Of the Union may be en-
abled to present a bold and united
front to their political adversaries,
whose history is one of oppression and
corruption. It is well stated by a con-
temporary that the real issue is between
the Republican party of Credit Mobil-
iers and mail subsidies and Sheppard
rings and salary-grabs and press-gags
aud military terrorism, on the one side,
and the Democratic party on the other.
What will be the exact result of the de-
libeIations of the Democracy in Con-
gress it is impossible to state, but that
they will be wise and statesmau-like
we are entirely confident. 1t may be
that the hard-money Democrats of the
East will find that the surest and
promptest road to specie payments will
be by an abolition of the national
banking system and a resort to a
greenbaek currency. 1t may be, too,
that considering the extent Of our for
eign rs well as our domestic commerce
the Authorization Democrats of the
West and South viii find that this will
be the surest and promptest means of
having the volume of currency kept
equal to the wants of trade

WHY GRANT STAID AWAY PROM
Rink ER HILL.


The Long Branch correspondent Of
the Ne,g York Herald explains the alb
sence Of the President and all his Cabi.
net from The Bunker Hill Centennial.
The reason is that Grant resents the
discussion which has taken place as to
the bills incurred by himself and his
party when they visited the celebration
Of the battle Of Lexington. He felt
that this discussion on the part of the
local aut lOrities in New England was
an offense of the gravest character, the
insult of host to guest, as he visited
New England at the invitation Of the
authorities. His presence was a
gracious and kindly act, adding largely
to the success of the celebration. He
was not allowed to incur any expense,
. or to bear any portion Of his entertain
ment. Yet, as soon as he returned, he
found that the bills for his entertain
ment had been made matters Of discus
sion, and that questions had been
asked as to whether tbs President
should or should not drink wine, or
should or should not smoke cigars; that
the amount Of wine charged in the bill
had been a matter of amazement and
reproach, and that one of the Commit.
tee went 50 far as to express his alarm
lest the habits Of the President should
lead him into an unusual and painful
condition Of life.
We hardly doubt that the sentiment of
the country viii be with Grant in this
matter. It 1ras shabby of those Down
casters counting drinks on him.

HOW THE GREAT TREAEHAs BEEN
REPORTED

A. F. Warburton, senior me mber Of
a stenographic firm in New York, ex-
plains how the Tribune report of the
Brooklyn trial became official" This
firm were employed by Brother Shear
man to take a verbatim report for the
use of counsel, for which purpose
copies of the days proceedings would
be needed as early as possible each
evening. To ensure accuracy, Mr.
WarburtOn's firm secured, with Judge
Nelson's consent, the aid Of the Off
cial photographer of the court They
then offer, their verbatim report to
the Tribune at the moderate charge Of
S. per column, on condition that early
proof-sheets were furnished for use by
Bsecher's counsel. Mr.. Warburton
claims that he first visited the Times
Office 10 make tots arrangement, but
not finding the city editor in, went to
the Tribune. The stenographic firm
receive SO per column for the report,
and the practical effect Of the arrange
msnt has been that the Beecher party
pay only one-half, the Tribune paying
the other half.
