Can a Dog Swim {?
From the Huntington Long Islander.

From tie Huntington Long Islander.
Captain Bunce, of the Leonida, is the
owner Of a large Spitz dog named Jack,
that was picked up in the middle Of the
Sound, several years ago, as he was swim
ming about several miles from land. On
Tuesday the captain left the faithful crea-
ture on the East Neck wharf by some mis-
hap, and Jack, seeing the vessel some dis
tance out in the bay, decided to follow. As
the vessel was under good headway little
notice was taken of his jumping of, the
wharf, as it was supposed that he would
soon return. The vessel reached New York
that night. Nothing was seen of the dog
about here during the following day, but
what was the astonishment of the captain
and crew, on going up to the deck while
the vessel lay in her dock in New York on
the morning of the second day, to find the
faithful creature at his post watching over
the vessel in his usual manner. He was
thoroughly exhausted by his long swim of
over forty miles, however, and could do
nothing but lie about and recruit his strength
for two or three days.

A New Confidence Game.

Confidence men are always inventing
some new scheme to swindle the unwary
granger. Every day at the second class
hotels, where grangers and drovers make
their headquarters the clerk is appealed to
to show some unfortunate the way to the
police station to recover his lost wallet
The latest device is for one of these sharp
ers to get himself up to look as much like
a granger as possible, and then stand around
the hotel until he can make the acquaint-
ance of his victim. After doing so, he in
vites the victim to take walk, and tells
him that there are so many sharpers about
that he had better leave his pocket book
with the clerk of the hotel The sharper
takes out his pocket book, shows large
amount Of bills, and the victim hands him
his. He ties a string around them both,
takes them to the desk and receives
check for them. They stroll off together,
and finally the thief leaves the granger
standing in some saloon, while he goes out
to see friend. The granger waits, and
while he is looking for the return of his
friend, the thief presents his check and gets
both of the pocket books. This trick has
been played number of times Of late in
the city, Chicago Journal

Insanity in the United States.


The intelligent care of the insane, with
view to the restoration to health and So
clety, is so recent that it may be dated. in
the United States, III the present century.
The time In even within the recollection of
many now living, when faith in the cura-
blllty of the disease become general, even
among medical men. Upon the dawning
OF the belief that insanity was susceptible
OF cure, hospitals began to be built, for the
two-told purposes Of custody and treatment,
for besides the difficulty of taking care of
the lunatics at home, it, was found that
comparatively few recovered. From this
period hospitals began to be regarded as
not only the best, but to most persons the
only places for the insane. Hence an in
creasing demand for the accommodation !:
and though their numbers have multiplied
largely, and have greatly increased in size.
they are still inadequate to entertain all
who knock at their DOORS and with piteous
appeals seek admission. In this connection
may be noted a curious result of the estab-
llshment Of new hospital facilities. The
newer states, in estimating the hospital capa-
city necessary for their insane, have ma
turally consulted the census statistics to
find what number to provide for ; but it is
invariablc found that when hospital is
opened for the accommodation of given
district, the applications for admission far
exceed its capacity, largely outnumbering
the statistics collected by the cersus- taker.
The country seems suddenly thronged with
insane people, and we are apt to be impress
ed with the belief that this dread disease is
largely on the increase But the probable
fact Is that no such increase really exists
1t is not unnatural that, mainly out of
family pride, the questions of the census
takers are often evaded, and the relatives
OF the unfortunate patient, seeing no benefit
to come from revealing this skeleton in
the closet" keep it from observation But,
promptly when an asylum is opened within
their reach, free to all without pay, the
curtain is drawn, and they come forward
with their afflicted
That insanity does not increase, prorata,
at least in the United States, is proven by
the census returns for the past twenty
years. In 1850 this country had popula-
tion of %, ,191 ,S76, and total number of
insane and idiots of 81 ,397 or 1 in 37S.
In 1860, with population of 81 ,443 ,322,
there were 1864 insane and idiots, or l
in 1873 and in 1870, with population of
$500, ,9S3, there were 61 500 of that class,
or l in G23
In England during the same period, there
was an average Of about l in 450 in Scot
land, l in 460 in Ireland l in 400; in
France, l i'll 600 and in Australia, l in
524. These reports, if accurate, show a
favorable condition in this country as COM
pared with others.-Scrt6ners .MonthH.

How to get rid of tree Stumps.

General Colquitt of Georgia, in recent
address gives the following two ways of do
ing this
The remove stumps from field, all that
is necessary is to have one or more sheet iron
chimneys, some four or five feet high. Set
fire to the stump and place the chimney
over it, so as to give the requisite draught
at the bottom. 1t will draw like stove.
The stump will be soon consumed. With
several such chimneys, of different sizes,
the removal of stumps may be accomplished
at merely nominal labor and expense.
In the autumn, bore hole one to two
inches in diameter, according to the girth
of the stump, vertically in the centre of the
latter, and about, eighteen inches deep
Put into it from one to two ounces of salt
petere fill the hole with water, and plug
it up close La the ensuing spring, take
out the plug, and pour IN about two gills
of kerosene oil and ignite it. The stump
win shoulder away, without blazing to the
very extremity of the roots, leaving nothing
but ashes.

COL. INGERS0LL ON THE STUMP.
SPEECH FULL OF FIRE AND FU-N--T11r,
DEMOCRATIC pARTY's PEDIGREE-A
SOLEMN WARNING AGAINST BACHELOR


An immense mass meeting of Republ-
cans was held in Lewiston, Maine. r last
week, when speeches were made bv Gov
Connor and Col. Robert G. Ingersoll of
illinois There was great curiosity to hear
the latter gentleman, and his appearance
was greeted with loud applause. 1t is safe
to say no one was disappointed He kept
the audience IN perpetual roar of laughter
for nearly two hours. The main portions
OF his speech are given below taken from
full report in the LelCjston Journal:
THE REPUBLICAN PART AND THE SLAVES.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN II belong
to the Republican party, and | am glad of
1t, and will give you "a few reasons why [
am glad of it. The Republican party is
the conscience of the nineteenth century.
What was the condition of the country
when the Republican party came into
power? know there are those with
enyenomed tongue who denounce this party:
men who, If they had their own way, would
not have allowed us to have a country to-
day. The Democratic party made it the
duty of citizens to hunt fugitives seeking
liberty. Such law would disgrace the
statute books of he'll. Laughter No
man ever voted for such law who was not
rascal. | intend to tell the truth. if [
am strong enough, and | tell You have an
excellent constitution. Laughter This
crime crept into the Supreme Court. That
court was farce. | know all about it. In
1861, if a negro had planted corn and the
crop was ready for harvest and a Demo
crat had come along to steal it, the Supreme
Court would have decided with their spec
taces pushed back on their bald pates, that
the corn belonged to the Democrat Loud
applause This was the spirit of the good
old party Of reform. Loud applause.
Imagine the condition we were in when
the Republicans came Into power. Justice
and mercy were vagrants. 1t the North
the Democrats were ready to give anything
for an office. The Southern States took
mp arms-tOok up arms for what ? Why,
for the right to steal from four millions of
people of different color | believe | am
superior to the black man-and so superior
that / can get my living without robbing
him. Laughter. The Democratic party
commenced the war against the Union The
question was, Are you for or against the
Union? The Republican party offered all
that it could-it almost got into the dirt.
but the South rushed to war. The great
Republican party and every Union-loving
Democrat in the North struck hands to
fight for the Union. Are YOU sorry the
Republican party won in 1860? Are you
sorry the great Lincoln was elected Presi-
dent? He Was almost the only man who, !
having absolute power, never abused it
except on the side of mercy.

from the Ne1C- OrE Sun
A pair of horses, valued at s4O0, be-
longing to DR., Webb, of Boonton, New
jersey, were attacked by bees few days
ago. and were so fearfully stung that they
died. The day was very warm, and the
animals perspired profusely. On passing
by six or seven hives it is supposed the
odor from the horses offended the bees, for
they attacked the animals in swarms. The
driver tried to unhitch the horses, but was
unable to do SO in consequence of their
plunging and kicking. He then went for
assistance, and retured with long gloves on
his hands and his head covered with several
folds of mosquito netting. He had to
scrape the bees from the horses with his
hands, and finally got the horses away, but
subsequently they died. The rage of the
bees still continued and on the following
day they attacked their owners house, and
the family were compelled to vacate

set of rules and bylaws by which they are
to be directed, adjourned.
In conversation with several officers OF
the association, last evening, q HERALD
