Puts his Foot Down.

Thomas Carlyle, in recent conVersa'
tion with an American gentleman, TOOK
occasion, in a very concise but emphatic
way, to express bis opinion of Darwin
and the men who adopt his views. Said
he: ga good sort OF man is this Dar-
win, and we'll meaning, but with very
little intellect. All, it's sad and terri
BILE thing to see nigh whole generation
of men and women, processing to be
cultivated, looking around in purblnd
fashion and finding no God in this uni
verse. suppose it is a reaction from
the reign of cant and hollow pretense,
protesting to believe what in fact they
do not believe. An6 this is what we
have got to. All things from frog
spawn: the gospel of dirt the order OF
the day. The older I grow-and 1 now
stand upon the brink of eternity-the
more comes back to me the sentence IN
the catechism, which I learned when a
child, and the fuller and deeper Its
meaning becomes-'What is the great

frogs through monkeys, can ever set

A VenOm0us Beast.

There are but four venomous beasts
among the fauna of the United States.
These are the rattlesnakc, the copper
head, the moccasin and the Spitz dog,
and of the four, the latter is by far the
most aggressive and deadly in its hos
tility to man. We're any of our citizens,
says an exchange, to insist upon keep
ing pet rattlesnakes, anG permitting
them to run at largo in the streets, the
law would soon convince thu OF the
propriety of weaving their affections
from creeping things and setting them
upon less dangerous pets. But the law,
with what is now seen to be glarlng
inconsistency, allows every man to keep
O Spitz, although the bite of the latter is
far more dangerous than that OF the
former. A rattlesnake's bite can be
cured by saturating the system with
whisky, but there is no cure for the bite
of rabid Spitz.
The facts as to the monopoly OF rabies
in which the Spitz in this climate in
dulges are within the reach OF all. They
should be made the basis of an act OF
the Legislature, directing the immediate
slaughter of every Spitz dog In the
State, and Furnishing, by heavy fine,
the importation Of a Spitz from any
other State or country. The few mis-.
guided persons who are the accomplicees:
of this no1ious beast cannot have their
perverted tastes gratified at the cost OF
the safety of the whole community.
The Spitz and the rattlesnake deserve
nothing but determination, and when
the former has completely disappeared
and his place has been taken by dogs
full of sweetness, light, and gifted with
calm, we'll balanced minds, we shal!
hear no more of hydrophobia, and shall
have no pretext for the annual st.
Bartholomew dog massacre every sum
mer.

An Affecting Reunion.

David Barber, of West Bloomfield,
called at the Detroit police station, the
Press says, and said that he was in the
city for the purpose of finding dog
which had been stolen from him two or
three days previously by a colored man
who was at work for one of Mr.. Barber's
neiehbors. The officers at the station
took a description of the dog and prom
ised to try to find him, and Mr.. Barber
left, saying that he should stay In the
city until bis search was successful.
Two days after Mr.. Barber returned to
the station apparently very much dis
couraged, and had been there but short
time when he saw a roundsman coming
down the avenue leading the lost canine.
He arose quickly and stepped to the
front door, where he stood with tears IN
mis- eyes, watching the approach OF the
dog, who, when about one hundred feet
of the station, saw and recognized his
master. With powerful and lightning
ike spring he broke away from the off
Ger, and the next instant master and dog
were showering each other with all man
ner of affectionate caresses, totally un-
conscious of the presence of dozen Off
GERS. When the meeting had resolved
itself into comparative quiet, it was seen
that not only were tears coursing down
Mr. Barber's cheeks, but the dog was
actually shedding tears of joy.
Upon being questioned as to the rea-
son of his extraordinary affection for
dog, Mr.. Barber related the following
story
"Three years ago this dog and my
boy, then three years old, went together
to Straight lake, short distance from
my home, aud while there my boy
clambered into boat that lay upon the
beach. Ia their sport the boat became
free and foated away with the boy. The
dog did not see the boat and its load un-
til quite distance from shore. when he
Immediately jumped into the lake and
swan after him. He was none too soon,
for when the boat was about twenty rods
from the shora it capsized, and my boy
was thrown into the water. He had
sunk twice when myself and several
neighbors who had gathered on the
beach saw this dog seize the boy by the
shoulder in such way as to hold his
head high above the water. Then he
swan toward Us. He approached stead
lily, but we became impatient and waded
out as far as possible to meet them.
When he reached us the boy was not
only carried ashore, but strong arms
lifted the dog and carried him also. Do
YOU wonder now that love him9"

The First One.

Some time ago, at a conclave, at ho-
tel, generals, majors, ETC., were each,
with much defamation, giving an ac-
count of an incident of the war. A
quiet man stood by, and at last said:
"Gentlemen, I happened to be there,
and perhaps might be able to refresh
your memories as to what took place )"
and he gave, succinctly and inoffensive-
", an exact detail of smart action.
The hotel keeper said to him: Sir,
what might have been your ranka"
81 was private, was the reply.
Next day the quiet man, as he was
about to depart, asked for his bill.
"Not a cent, sir; not cent" an
swered the proprietor. "You are the
very first private I ever met"

Bows and Their Mothers.

Some one has written beautifully to
the boys in the following manner. Here
is whole sermon in few sentences:
Of all the love affairs in the world, none
can surpass the true love of the big boy
for his mother. 1t is a pure love and
noble. honorable in the highest degree
to both. I do not mean dutiful atfec-
ton. mean love which makes boy
gallant and courteous to his mother,
saying to everybody that he is fairly In
love with her. Next to the love OF a
husband, nothing SO crowns woman. 8
life with honor as this second love, this
devotion of son to her. And l never
yet knew boy to "turn out bad who
begun by falling in love with his moth
er. Any man may fall in love with a
fresh faced girl, and the man who Is
gallant to the girl may cruelty neglect
the worn and weary life. But the boy
who is a lover to his mother IN her mid
die age is a true knight who will love
his wife as much in the sere-leaved au-
tumn as in the daisy springtime.

Raising a Panic.

A few evenings ago, among the pass
engers who returned to Easton from the
Centennial, we're a number OF ladle;
from that place, one of whom had pur-
chased a good sized toy balloon: an
Easton paper says: When she alighted
from the train at this place the crowd
was so great that she was jammed in,
and another lady was pushed against the
balloon, when it burst with "a loud noise.
The lady who had caused the explosion
fell into the arms of a companion and
declared that she had been shot. Her
cries attracted the attention OF the
male passengers, who fearing that some
one indeed had fred a pistol, became
very much excited, and for while it
was feared that the rush to get out OF
the cars would result in some one getting
trampled under foot. The cause of the
alarm was finally explained, and the
supposed wounded lady was escorted to
her home without delay.

Foolish Fellows.

The ways of the buffalo as described
by travellers in the far West are as
strange as those of the Heathen Chinee.
If herd of these animals gets on the
north side of a track, it will stand
stupidity gazing, though the locomotive
passes within hundred yards OF it.
But if two miles from tho track on the
south side, the whole herd is thrown
into the widest commotion. Regard
less of consequences it will make for
the track, and if the train is in its way,
each individual buffalo will go at it with
the desperation OF despair, plunging
against or between the locomotive and
the car. There was a notable instance
of this in the severe winter of 1912,
when the ponds and small rivers were
frozen solid, and the buffalo was forced
to the larger rivers for water. The con.
ductors of the Atchison, Topeka aud
Santa Fe railroad, after having trains
ditched twice in one week, learned to
have very decided respect for the lido
syncrasies of the buffalo, and when
there was possibility of striking herd
on the rampage for the north side OF
the track, stopped the train until 1t
passed.

Up the Rocky Mountains.

We leave Denver, says traveller, for
short stay among the Rocky noun
tains, bound first for Central City.
After riding for about an hour, we
change cars on narrow gauge railroad,
and from this point the scenery is OF the
very widest description. The road it.
self, built as it is along the banks OF
streams, and through cuts in the solid
rock which now rises SO high above
your head that it almost shuts out the
sky, is tribute to mans superiority to
the obstacles nature has placed in his
way. As we stop a minute before O
very steep ascent, I go forward and ask
permission of the engineer to ride by his
side, believing that one cannot obtain
an adequate view of the magnificent
scenery through which we are about to
pass while sitting in the cars. The en-
gineer, however, says that, as the road
is narrow gauge, the cab is only just big
enough for himself and the fireman.
"But," says he, many Eastern men
ride up this canyon on the cowcatcher. !"
After assuring me that it is perfectly
safe, as he can by no means travel at
express rate, he places broad board on
the cowcatcher; and, when have taken
my seat, with my hand firmly grasping
the signal flag, the engine gave shrill
whistle, and off we start. For the first
five minutes I really enjoy my novel
manner of locomotion. "This," said 1,

Defenses of COnstantinOple.

Col. Valentine Baker has made a
careful report presenting the outlines Of
plan for defending Constantinople on
the land side. Few cities in the world
are SO we'll situated for defense as Con-
stantinople. A properly devised tor.
pedo system, with both movable and
stationary torpedoes, supplemented by
ironclads, could make it impregnable to
the fleets OF Europe, while its land ap-
proaches may by engineering skill be
made obstacles against which armies
might long dash in vain. 1t Russia
makes war with Turkey she will find the
capture of Constantinople y feat OF
arms likely to lie beyond her power, es-
pec'slly as England could not submit to
tae ears planting his flag in the Bos.

What a Noted Judge Says.

A reporter interviewed Chief Justice
Church, of the supreme court OF New
York, on the great question OF the day;
"I have always apprehended, said
Judge c., "that the greatest source OF
danger to the peaceof the country would
some time prove to be this very one
the counting of the Presidential vote
after a close canvass. The danger seems
to inhere in the machinery Of the pres
ent electoral system"
els there a better way to elect the
President2 Have you any sympathy
with the notion of popular voteT
"Not the least"
"Why2"
"It would be contrary to the genius,
the structure of our institutions. 1t
would tend to obliterate State outlines,
to erase the rights of the minority, to
concentrate and consolidate the govern
ment. These are things we ought ever
to avoid"
"How about an electoral district sys-
tem-a system dividing each State into
electoral districts similar to Congress
sional districts, and letting the people
of every district vote for their own sep
arate Presidential elector ?"
"That would have similar effect-to
obscure State divisions, to dwarf States,
to prevent them from acting as units.
l should oppose anything which bad q
tendency to detract from the dignity of
the several States and thus to magnify
the influence upon States of the general
government, whose sufficient functions
are defined in the Constitution. It is a
curious fact" continued the chief JUS
tice, "that every great national disturb
ance has been produced by the inter-
vention OF the Federal government in
affairs which concerned States. The
United States bank disturbance, the
notification disturbance, were cases in
point. So, when the South demanded
that Congress should decide the ques-
tion of extending slavery into the Terri
tories. So, when Congress, at the beck
of the North, undertook to adjudicate
upon the slavery and other questions,

with each State by itself"

The Sea Serpent.

The interesting specimen in natural
history, the sea serpent, has been seen
again, this time between Malacca ana
Penang. The fortunate spectators
were the officers and passengers OF the
steamship Nestor, who Unanimously
youch for the fact" The commander,
John W. Webster, has published card
ON the subject, from which l take the
following account of the serpent:
Being on the bridge at the time
(about ten A. NJ with the first aad third
officers we we're surprised by the ap
nearance of an extraordinary monster
going in our course, and at an equal
sneed with the vessel, at q distance from
us of about six hundred feet. 1t had
SQUARE head, and a dragon black ana
white striped tail, and an immense BODY
which was quite fifty feet bread when
the monster raised it. The head was
about twelve feet broad, and appeared
TO be occasionally at the extreme about
six feet above the water. When the
head was placed on level with the
water, the body was extended to Its ut
most limit to all appearance, and then
the body rose out of the water about
two feet, and seemed quite nifty feet
broad at those times. The E,ng dra-
pon tail with black and white scales
afterward rose, and an undulating mo.
tion In which at one time the head, at
another the body, and eventually she
tail formed, each in its turn, promi-
nent object above the water. The ani-
NAL, or whatever it may be called, ap-
peared careless of our close proximity,
and went our course for about slx
minutes on our starboard side, and then
finally worked round to our port side,
and remained in view, to the delight oil
ali on board, for about half an hour.
