GREENLAND DOGS

Two of these dogs can drag as much as
one man, Nothing can be more exhila-
rating than dog-sledging in the Arctic
regions on fine day. The rattling pace
of these dogs, their intelligence in choos-
ing the road through the broken ice, the
strict obedience paid by the team to one
powerful dog whom they elect as leader,
the arbitrary exercise of authority by
the master dog, the constant use of the
whip, and the running conversation kept
up by the driver with the different dogs,
who well know their names, afford con-
slant enjoyment. However useful they
may be, these Arctic dogs seem tobe de-
cient in that affectionate disposition
which endears their species so much to
man. /,
A traveller once said that he believed
the Esquimaux dogs to be the most un-
grateful creatures in creation. He had
travelled for several hundred miles by
sledge, and for six weeks it was his his
duty regularly to feed the dogs; but af-
ter only few weeks absence, at the
conclusion of his journey, they would
not recognize him in the slightest degree.
1t is impossible to domestieate these
FEATURES, as under tender treatment

within, but also let us hope, reasonable
ease, a decent gooo dinner, and peace
and love in many a squalid and crowded
chamber which has not much else to
boast of. When whole household is
kept at home all Sunday by the outside
inclemeney, then comes the test of tenn
per, and stone fronts do not stand it any
better than the smallest and
shabbiest of frame buildings. For
the honor of human nature
we do not care to think of how cross, for
innumerable reasons, numberless people
were yesterday; nor of the Incidence and
ennui and snappishness and irritating
sense of incarceration. How much lit
tie philosophizing would do for the least
consideration will convince the most shall
low that "if there be anything which peo-
pie must take as it comes it is Sunday
weather."
One of the most charming of Washing
ton lrving's papers is that in whichAbut
our readers will guess at once that we
mean his description Of rainy Sunday in
an English inn. Who, having read of
them, has forgotten the soused and rumi-
nant creatures of the stable-yard ?-the
drip, drip, drip, from the tavern caves?
the two or three umbrella bearers skur-
rying by to their devotions?-the not un-
pleasing blue-deviltry which pervades the
page, which almost seems under our
hand as we read, as if damp from the
press?

SUNDAY WEATHER.

yesterday was a typical rainy Sunday.
There is familiar family likeness in
rainy Sundays that can not be mistaken.
We always growl the same growls, bewail
the same inconveniences and plead the
same plea for not going to church; and,
by tive" let nine-tenths of the people
be understood. A rainy Sunday is dullel
than any other day through the week
and creates more disappointments than a
rain at any other time, except, probably
on the Fourth of July. 1t has an immoral
influence, for it not only prevents people
from going to church but it drives many
into the company of bad associates in
the uninviting but only accessible places
when they would otherwise be taking
invigorating walks on the hills There
are undoubtedly many discomfort

The National Labor Party.

from tne l'nllauelpuld hcCOru
One hundred and eight representatives of
trades unions located in all parts of the
country, met last night at Sixth and Wal
nut streets to form national political or
ganization. The meeting was private and
protracted.
"What have you accomplished%' re-
porter asked Of the representative of large
Philadelphia trades union, as he hurried
from the hall.
"Well," he remarked, with considerable
hesitation, "what we have done is not TO be
given to the public just now"
"Have You concluded to cut loose from
the Greenbackers%
"rhe Greenbackers are frauds, and we
will have nothing to do with them, said
the delegate with animation, 'but that is
not saving we did anything in relation to
them tonight" he added quickly, and, con-
tinuing, he said: 1--WE have concluded to
call National Convention, to meet about
the middle of next month, either in ST.
Louis or Chicago, the exact day and which
of these places will be fixed by The officers
in Philadelphia in he course OF few days
The convention will be composed of dele
gate from each prominent labor organiza
ton in the country. They will sit with
closed doors, giving to the public only such
matter as they deem advisable"
"Will the convention make platform or
place in nomination a candidate for the
PresidencyW asked the reporter.
THAT | am not now at liberty to say
but what we will do in this line will soon
appear"
Labor men, when asked as to what
brought this meeting about, complain that
the leaders of the Greenback party ignored
the Labor element during the last cam
paign and they therefore had to come to
the conclusion to discard the Greenbackers.
In pursuance of This resolution, immeo late
lv after the election the movement to form
a combination Of the large unions through
out the country was set on foot, resulting
in last nights convention.

The coming winter threatens to be
pne of terrible privation and suffering
in England and Scotland. The mechan-
les and laborers now out of employment
count up in the tens of thousands in the
mining and manufacturing districts.
Yorkshire and Lancashire seem to be in
the worst plight. Many of these unem-
ployed laborers, with families, upon their
hands, are even now without resources.
For the sake Of economy the members
of three or four families, without regard
to age or sex, are compelled to huddIe
themselves together in a single tenement.
In such state of things England enters
ppon a distant war which may be bless
ing in disguise, by giving increased ac-
ivity to the manufacture of military
stores, and offering government service
10 the starving laborers. Wars require
more or less "food for powder" and 6
Lancashire collier or weaver will fill pit
rs well as any other man.

Rain On the Roof.

Oft falls through the gathering twilight
The rain from the dripping caves,
And stirs, with tremulous rustic,
The dead and the dying leaves,
While afar, in the midst of the shadows,
hear the sweet voices of bells,
Come borne on the wind of the autumn
That f1tiully rises and swells.
They call and they answer each other,
And answer and mingle again,
As the deep and the shrill in an anthem
Make harmony still in their straini
As the voices of sentinels mingle
In mountainous regions of snow,
Till from the hill tops chorus
Floats down to the valleys below.
The shadows, the freight of ever
The sound of the rains distant chnS~,
Come bringing with rain softly droppl0s
Sweet thoughts of a shadowy time;
The slumberous sense of seclusion,
From storm and intruders aloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter of rain on the roof

THE Children's Aid Society of New
York City is very worthy charity, and
within the past twenty-five years has ac-
tomplished much toward the redemption
and well-being of humanity. Its records
for that period show that over ffty-two
thousand persons, most of whom were
friendless and orphan children, have been
furnished with good homes among the
people of the West. Many of these chill
dren, rescued from the depths of poverty
and crime, have developed into useful
citizens, and they stand as shining monu-
ments of the Society to which they owe
their reformation and prosperity.

At an auction sale of miscellaneous
goods, the auclioneer put up wolf-skin

man inspected it closely, seemed to think
there was bargain in it, but yet he hest

asked the auctioneer Eyes, kinder" was
the reply. Then why don't you bid and
take it?' "Well, I've bought heaps O.
things in dry goods and so on" slowly re-

was worth the price. If got that ere robe

Not long since widow living in Virginia
received s., 800. She took it to prominent
stock broker, and asked his opinion as to
the best investment for the money. She
was told to buy Sierra Nevada, then selling
at 5000, and Mexican at $50, and did 50.
During the decline which followed imme
diately thereafter she was called upon for
more money, but was unable to respond
She had, however, some rare diamonds
which she had saved from high estate
maintained by her husband and herself in
an early day of prosperity on the Comslock,
and these she gave in keeping to the broker,
and felt easy. During The late crash she
was again called on for more margins, and
being unable to comply with the request,
was sold out. She had lost her SO, 800 and
her diamonds, which are now worn by the
| brokers' wife. There is no romance in the
foregoing, but rather an instructive reality,
