The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-06-20

A HIGHLY novel mode of transporting
live stock over long distances has been
lately mentioned in several English and
Australian papers. 1t is proposed to
throw the animals to be transported
into profound state of coma, bear them
across the ocean in a state of insensi-
bility and revive them on landing. 1t
is said that an Australian has actually
succeeded, by the injection of vegeta-
BILE poison into the ears of certain ami
mails, in producing condition of arti-
fetal death, then keeping the apparent
ly hfeless bodies fiom decomposition
by combining them in a chamber at a
low temperature, and finally reviving
them by the injection of special anti
dote.

Col. Burns Bulldog.

A bulldog that was stolen from Lord
Dutferin, in Canada, a year ago, turned
up lately in Terre Haute, where she
killed Texas steer in street fight.
Col. Burns, CT Evansville, bought her
for $ll0, and fastened her in his stable.
The Evansville Journal of Wednesday
said: Yesterday, while the Colonel
was leading a horse worth 81 900 past
the dog, che leaped toward the horse
with such tremendous force that the
collar snapped like string. She buried
her teeth in the horses flesh. Col.
Burns seized the dog by the throat with
both hands, and, hurting her back,
threw himself upon her as she fell. She
tore his shirt into shreds. At last, with
his heavy boot-heel he planted blow
on the forehead, which stunned the
beast" The Journal of Thursday
said: "Col. Burns was sitting on horse
back, at his front gate, yesterday morn
ing, when the spotted bulldog dashed
out the side gate, having snapped the
cast-iron chain. He whipped his horse
into gallop and followed. Capt. App,
of the police, was coming down the
street in his barouche when the dog
dashed toward his horse and made
leap at his throat. The horse SHE'D to
escape the danger, overthrowing the
barouche, and hurting Capt. App
against shade tree with such force
as to dislocate his right elbow. On
Parrett street the furious dog met
lad and seized him by the col
lar of his coat. Both rolled off
the plank walk and down the embank-
ment Col. Burns attacked the dog
with the butt of a heavy whip and
knocked her senseless. The horse ran
away during the fight and has not been
recovered. The dog was hauled home
still senseless." The Journal of Friday
said: Marshal Langolf went to the
stables to see the dog yesterday. She
lazily yawned and pretended to fawn,
while her great red chops, hanging
down, were opened and closed INDECENT
ly. Langolf went to pat her head gent
ly, when she leaped at his throat. The
stout trace held her back, though her
paws caught in the Marshal's vest and
brought him down on his knees. He
drew his revolver and put two bullets
through her head. With few strug-
giles the ferocious beast died."

RUSSIA. notwithstanding all her

RUSSIA, Notwithstanding all her in
ternal troubles, is still pushing her
Asiatic conquests. Some time since, O
Russian expedition, under the COM
mand of Gen. Lomakin, and numbering
about 10000 men, left the Caspian sea,
taking its route through the Turcoman
provinces of Khiva, region Astounding
in deserts. It's object was said to be to
seize Merv, an important point in the
southern extremity of Khiva, on the
route from the Caspian to Herat in AZ
ghanistan. The expedition proved an
extremely unfortunate one. The ad-
vanced guard was met by body of
Turcoman cavalry, armed with Martini
Henry rifles, such as are used in the
British army, and thoroughly defeated,
with the loss of its camels and baggage.
Preparations are now making for the
advance OF q more formidable force.
The Russians disclaim any intention of
occupying the important post of Merv,
on the British Government representing
that it would not be Indifferent to such
occupation. They allege their only de-
sire to be to punish certain predatory
Turcoman tribes.

The advocates of the rights of women
in Great Britain are rejoicing at the an
nouncement, just published, that of
eleven female candidates who presented
themselves for the first examination for
the degrees of London University, six
were placed in the division of honors,
four were declared to be entitled to
exhibitions, and one was second in the
whole list of candidates. There were only
two failures. This is certainly much
better showing than the same number
of the stronger sex would have exhibited.

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. near the
mouth of the Potomac has devised an
ingenious plan for the slaughter of the
ducks and geese which light on sand
bar near his station. He has battery
of twelve muskets firmly fastened to
two heavy timbers, six above and six
below; these are heavily loaded and con-
nected with the lighthouse by long
wire cable. AS soon as he sees the
geese near enough he pulls his cable
and explodes all the guns at once, and
then he takes his skiff and picks up the
game. One shot this season gave him
thirty-three geese.

AUNT DINAH, an Indian squaw, who
will be 105 years old next Christmas,
walked from the Onondaga reservation,
the other day, seven miles into Syr-
acuse, N. Y, and returned the same
evening. While on this little tramp Of
fourteen miles she carried heavy
bundle on her back, strap by which
the load was bound passing over her
forehead In Syracuse she shook hands
with many pale-faced acquaintance.
She is probably the most able-bodied,
vigorous centenarian in the world.

FIFTY years ago there were but eight
institutions for the insane in the Unit
ed States; now the country contains
eighty asylums of this kind. At the
commencement of organized efforts for
the treatment of the insane, it was sup
posed that from rs to 80 per cent. of
cases could be cured. But this was
proved to be far too high ratio. In no
instance out of 1000 cases had there been
even 66 per cent. of cures. Indeed, the
high percentage which was claimed was
obtained by counting each recovery of
persons who were repeatedly discharged
and repeatedly received again into the
asylums. In the case of the Scotch asy-
lums Dr. Arthur Mitchell reported on
1898 patients admitted in 1858. In
1870, 454 of these died insane; 365 lived
insane; 78 died sane, and 1877 lived
sane; 74.91 per cent. did not recover,
and $500 per cent. did recover. The
idea that cures could easily be effected
has led to general building of insane
ssylums on the most extraordinary
scale. One in Danvers, Mass, cost
$l,S00,000. Still it could not accom-
modate the current increase of the in
sane while it was being built. 1t is a
strange circumstance that no mention
is made in Grecian or Roman history
of insane asylums or poor-houses, and
it is a question with the moderns how
it was that such great states in ancient
times were able to get along without in
situations which, in modern times, are
very important branches of the socie-
tary organization.

A NEGRO horse-thief recently met
with horrible fate at Columbus, Ky.
He set fire to the log Jail with the hope
of effecting an escape. The fire was

The 100000 Quakers in this count

THE 100000 Quakers in this country
are more universally respected than any
other denomination. A few years ago
it was understood that they were de-
Ginning in numbers and in devotion to
their customs and traditions. There
came a revival among them, and the
adoption of modern plans of self-per-
petuation, by Sundayschools, the press,
and missionary enterprises. Now it APP
pears that they are gaining strength
and increasing in activity, especially in
the Western States. They have the
hearty good wishes of all denomina-
tons, and of all good citizens.

CoINCIDENT with the first outburst at
Mount Etna, some weeks ago, Mount
Hood, in Oregon, sent forth a column

of unmistakable smoke from the old
crater since 1864. The cloud of smoke
was described as black and sulphurous,
and poured out of the south side of the
mountain, half mile from the summit.
