A sheep raiser in Pope Valley,
Cal, sold his flock to man living in
the adjacent valley of Berryessa, ten
miles distant. Soon after the former
missed the dog which had always as
sisted him in herding the sheep, and
searched for him in vain. He was
valuable dog, and his loss was duly
mourned for couple of days, when,
to his masters establishment, in he
came from Berry essa with the whole
flock of sheep, which he had brought
safely home again.

Justice to Mr.. Tilden from Ia Republl-
can Newspaper!

The New York EUening Post, leading
Republican newspaper, recently said:
1T was in April of the year 1870 that
Samuel j. Tilden, not frequent visitor at
the office of the Post, came and desired an
interview with the senior editor, which he
had, of course He seemed moved from
his usual calm and quiet demeanor. His
errand, he said, reluted to the charter
which Tweed aud his creatures were trying
to get enacted as a law. If that should
happen, he said, it would give the city,
with all the powers of its government, into
the hands of men who felt no restraint of
conscience, and who would plumber it
without stint. The city would be ruined,
he said, if this charter, contrived with a
special design to make speculation easy,
were fastened upon it. and it was altogether
important that the EUeniRg Post should
resist its passage with all the power of
argument which it possessed, and prevent
it if possible, lie then, with his usual
perspicacity, pointed out the contrivances
for misusing the public funds which were
embodied in the bill, and expressed his
earnest hope that the people should be
warned through our columns We make
this statement out of a desire to deal
fairly with Mr.. Tllden, who has in some
quarters been accused of favoring the
| Tweed charter in the early ages Of the
discussion. On the contrary, it is simple
truth to say that he was its enemy from
the beginning.
And yet Mr.. William Cullen Bryant
who knew these facts, remained silent
regarding them all through the late presi
dental campaign and saw his party, il
solid phalanx, daily repeating the lie tha
Gov. Tildcn WAS a Tammany man anC
hand in glove with the Tammany ring. anC
never raised his voice to stop the wicked
falsehood. Mr.. Bryant, and everybod!
else who was at all informed upon New
York politics, knew that Mr. Tilden wa
always u determined opponent of tn
Tammany ring, and that it was through
his instrumentality that that ring wa
broken and scattered.

Row at a House of 1ll-Pame.

for some time past it is said there has
b en- house of ill-iame on the Milan road,
just beyond the fair grounds. and the PEG
pie living in that neighborhood have been
much annoyed by the disorderly conduct
and disturbances by the inmates and visi-
tors. Two or three weeks ago one of the
citizens of the vicinity made complaint
about the house before Justice Pinkley,
and a warrant was given to Constable
Ankrum to arrest the inmates, He went
out there at night to make the arrests,
but found the women had ''smelled mice
and were not at home. On Thursday night,
the Sd, several young men from this city
their names are KNOWN and others from
Case brick yards were at the house, and
during the evening they got into a free
tight, during which several shots were
fred, the doors broken off their hinges, the
windows broken and kicked out, and the
women, FIVE in number. compelled to run
for their lives. On Friday the ''landlady'
packed up what goods she had left anC
came to this city. Three or four of oul
young men have not been on the streets
since the row-owing to scratched faces
aud black eyes. They may yet be arrested

GENTLY snubbea.

For some weeks. past certain people who
have an itching to see their names in print
have been advocating some kind of a plao
to for big job to make water power for
Davenport. They proposed to dam the
Mississippi or something, and get some
water somewhere to use-and they really
had the cheek to talk about their plan as
one which could benefit navigation, and
they expected to take up the time Of the
U. $. commission sent here to examine into
the swiudle perpetrated oD the United
States by the Moline Water Power Co.,
and lumber up their report with their per.
sonal schemes. Yesterday, in advance of
all other papers, The ARGUS announced
the arrival of the commission, and to day
the Gazette says:
Several Davenport gentlemen yesterday
afternoon drove oyer to the Island, to talk
over the water power question With Col.
Flagler and the commission. They were
very courteously received. but as the in
structions of the commission preclude con-
sidering anything further than merely the
| cOmpidlu vi tue U1OHue WdLeE power COIu'
pany, no proposition or arrangement was
submitted to them"
That'n do, gentlemen stand down
the hall" The dam won't be built across
the .Mississippi-thiS gear. The commits
sioners evidt ntly understand what they
came here for, and if they thoroughly in.
vestigate the Moline water power they will
find that our good Uncle Samuel was badly
sucked il" by the sly old president of the
concern. At certain seasons OF the year
there is no water power at all at Moline
not available water enough in the Moline
dam to furnish the steam boilers to their
mills. And there is not mill in Moline
that can depend. for power, on water alone
all use steam nearly every day in the
year. A few weeks in the year, at the
right stage of the river, there is very fair
power-the balance of the year either ice
or sand, or both, renders the power worth
less. The sooner Uncle Sam quits robbing
the pockets of the people generally, for the
benefit of private corporation, the better
will it be for Uncle Samuel.

Who Bosses the Ioh2

To the Editors OF the Argus.
As a citizen of this ward | am glad to
see improvements made, but dislike to
see the public money actually squandered,
thrown away, used for no permanent good,
as is being done in planting trees along the
gutter around Franklin square Within
the grounds, where there is little thin
sol! over the gravel which forms the sub
stratum, trees will live if mulched and
watered and carefully tended when young,
but along the cutters, where the soil
has been carried away, it is worse than
folly to dig little Is inch hole in the
gravel and plant tree there, expecting it
to live. If large and deep holes were dug
and filed with rich earth, and the trees
carefully muched, watered and protected
they would get start and live. And that
we would all be glad to see, Whoever
bosses that job is either unfit to nave
charge of it. or wholly neglects it, for the
trees cannot live as they are being plant
