me Views of One Who Suffers IJndar
tho Dog Ordinance.
,Messrs. Editors: The good Lord,
IN His inscrutable wisdom and for
purposes which arc alone known to
lilm' has denied tho dog. tho power
81 communicating his thoughts and
wants excepting only TO- the wise
and to those who study his nature
and admire his noble, traits of char
acter In addition to this, it is q
tact as true as history itself, that no
people have ever made proper pro-
gress in civilization who have neg
llected, and improperly persqouted
the domestic dumb brutes which
belonged to them. Even savages
have evidenced the first dawn of
semi civilization by an increasing
desire to contribute to the comforts
and necessities of the brute COM
Pamons around them. How appre-
prlato, then, that I, who am more
gifted than most of my race, and
VINO feel such great interest in the
welfare of our town, should be
heard in behalf of my people.
The regent ordinance reo,ririno
that all dogs found in the streets
without 'nuzzles shall be incarcera-
ted in the guard-house for twenty
four hours, and then shot, is in nv
opinion unwise and unjust-unwisc,
becauss it tends to increase, rather
than abate, the disease rabies.
Imagine, if you can, the myriiads Of
pores all over the physical organiza-
tons OF our Council suddenly sealed
aoout one o'clock on any Of the
sultry days which are now present
with us--so completely closed as
to prevent that most important and
healthful process Of profuse peirispi-
ration to which we are all subjected,
and you will have some idea of the
Ills which we poor dogs are now
suffering. Unlike filthy man, we
persplre only from the mouth, and
not from the body generally, and
hence the great necessity of being
aolo at all times and places to open
our mouths and loll out our tongues.
This cannot be done with muzz' es on,
and all the heat and exhibitions Of
the body, which would otherwise
escape, W4st be retained, tending as
they do to promote disease gen
orally, and madness specially. We
are therefore compelled to submit to
q process which would run the
Council mad in two hours, and are
then threatened with shooting if we
do 60 mad o., in other words, we
are expected, poor dun brutes us we
are, to exhibit more patience, forti-
tude and philosophy than could be
shown by our enlightened Council
The ordinance is unjust, because it
dlsel',ninates between q four-legged
dog and q two-legged dog, These
LATTER roam tho streets at all hours
OF the day and night, and certainly
exhibit more of the signs of rabies
than we four-legged innocents.
Let MIR. Gilbert and Pat Jenkins be
instructed to rope in these also, or
we shall count you class prefereys
and special legislators. OFF with
the muzzles, therefore, or I'll be
ID a. if we don't go mad and bite
the whole town.
Yours heatedly,
BRUIN FLENNIKEN.

MOUNT Zion School.

The summer vacation of Mount
Zion School is coming to close.
Exercises will be resumed during
the first week in September: The
public money was exhausted with
the past five months session, and
the school will depend on the Pea
body fund Of three hundred dollars
and on private contributions for the
balance of the year. It is estimated
that the school can be run four
months on the same basis as before
if the patrons will subscribe about
two hundred and fifty dollars, ex..
elusive Of the extra tuition charged
for the higher branches. AS there
were hundred and fifty scholars in
attendance last session, if all return
the sum to be raised will Re very
small tax on each one say an aver
age of two dollars each. The mean
ing of this is that for an average
private expenditure of two dollars,
each pupil will have receiveda a course
of nine months instruction. It is un-
necessary here to speak of the
character of that instruction. The
new system saves @ large sum of
money annually. Under the rates
charged by pay schools previously,
it would have cost at least $3.50
year to educate the white children of
the town. The egraded school will cost,
including the extra branches and
rent, about 81, 800, of which $500 is
given by the Peabody trustees,
leaving $1,000 against S3,75Q, a
saving of $2,45O, with better in
struction, owing to tho advantages
arising from having all the pupils
together. It is not argued that
$3,75O was spent annually for edu-
cation. It is painful fact that
considerable number Of children
;etaid at home until this year.
1t rests with the patrons Of the
school to say what shall be done
whether the graded school shall be-
come a permanent institution, or
whether the old state of things shall
return. We believe there will be
but one response. The best way to
decide the question of raising the
money will be for the patrons to
have meeting to discuss it. Will
the officers of the Mount Zion So
!ciety and the public school trustees
call a meeting Of patrons conformity ?
Not only should present wants be
attended to, but some scheme should
be devised, either by the aid of legie-
lation or otherwise, by which the
school may be made permanent. It
is q gratifying circumstance that
already applications are coming in
from parties in the country for the.
admission of their children to the
school. BY careful fostering, Mount
Zion may again attract patronage
from abroad.

Pow watches are Made.

It will be apparent to any one. who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness Tor
engraving and polishing, the large proper,
tion of theiprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS,

CASES, this WASTE of precious metal Is
overcome. and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one.third to
oue-half of the usual cost OF solid cases.
This nrocess is of the most simple nature
as follows:-A plate of composition metal
snec,alIv adapted to the purpose, has two
nIates Of SOLID GOLD soldered one on eacf
s;de The three are then passed between
nol;shed steel rollers, and the result is
strip of heavily plated composition, iron

Tho Great Heat.

Reports from st. Louis to the 10th inst,
indicate slight abatment in the heat, the
number of sunstroke, and the fatal cases.
The thermometer ranged as high as 100. The
telegram says: The cases Of sunstroke have
also decreased, there having been but twen-
ty-two at the city dispensary up to O'Clock
this evening, and but four deaths. The
scenes there, however, have been OF the same
general character IS heretofore, and the four
vhs sicians and their assistants in attendance
have been kept very busy administering to
lhe wants OF those taken there for treatment.
The general mode of treating the cases is
all to the head, ice water showers, rubbing
The body with ice and administering such
medicines IS the different cases demand.
The whole number Of burial permits issued
to-day is forty-nine, Of which twenty eight
were for persons whose death was caused by
heat. This is but tribe over one-haH of the
death rate yesterday. The heat this after
noon was more moderate, and tonight there
is fine breeze which has cooled the atmos.
pherc considerably. The whole number of
cases treated at the dispensary to-day is
about thirty. of which only one died at the
dispensarv, but Of those sent to the hospital
two will probably die. About 9 o'clock to-
night Drs. Cook and Rogers, practcing
physicians Of the city, were prostrated by
where they were successfully treated.
There was general suspension of mechanical
and manufacturing labor.
