The fashions in dogs in France vary,
and it is rather surprising to see bow
quickly the demand for any special
breed is met by lavish supply. A few
years ago it was said that the race of
Pugs was dying out; but some great Ia
dies took to cultivating pugs, and 10 all
the markets swsrmed with blsck.nosed
little fellows. Yellow, wiry English ter
rlers are now the rage in Paris; and
italian greyhOunds have become so scarce
that fancier could not furnish a we'll
matched pair-cream or mouse color
for less than 800 francs.

State Rights,

A few days ago U. S. Senator Booth
made speech in San Francisco, from
which the following is an extract:-"It
has been charged (the charge is as O. d
as the party ITSELF that the Repu blicar
party was hostile to State rights and
local Government. At the close of the
war, eleven States were at its feet. II
could have wiped out their boundaries
changed their names, made them mill
tary dependencies. Its chief care was
to rehabiliate them, and restore them
to proper relations to the Federal
Union. 1t would be amusing, if it
were not serious, to watch tho average
close construction Democrat of to-day,
who believes the war has settled moth
ng, and nothing has been settled since
the Resolutions Of '9s, passing through
the Federal Constitution, to show bv
copulatives and disjunctives just where
the boundary line between State and
National sovereignty, and precisely how
the General Government exists by suf-
terancs of the States. 1t is the satire
of the time, and Of all time, to see men
claiming the especial care of the letter
of the Constitution to-day who but yes
tt rday were striving to rend the instru,
ment to pieces and scatter it to the
Winds"

The PRESIDE

The Germantown Telegraph in allu.
ding to political affairs, makes the
following remarks:
Mr.. Tildsn will undou btedly be again
the Democratic candidate for President
at the election to bs held next year,
unless there shall be some unlocked
for impediment. He is perhaps, old as
he is, tho shrewdest politician in the
Republic, and has been steadily and
quietly at work since the day his defeat
was proclaimed. Two years ago scarce.
ly any one thought that twas possible
for him to be competitor at all for the
nomination, much less formidableo one.
Now scarcely politician Of either party
but who believes that he will again
be nominated. It will be unfortunate
for his party, IS he is, beyond all
question, the weakest man that has
been named. Bayard would b i'm
measurably stronger.

the "Feury's farm" which was con-
demned at one time by the neighbors as
poor land. As it takes rich land for
tobacco the opinion of the neighbors
should be reversed. Mr.. Schlogel

feet in length. There were other
bridges destroyed but none as large as
the one over the Pocomoke river. The
road is being repaired as rapidly as
possible and the heavy travel will be
resumed in very few days. Owing
to the other disasters, trains were only
enabled to run little below Delaware.

A detail of eight soldiers sent from
Vinita, Indian Territory, to search for
Captain Secrists, the missing mail cen.
tractor, found his body with a bullet
hole in the head and partly devoured
by wolves, lS0 miles from Vinita. They

ceived word from the outlaws that "if
they (the soldiers) wanted to see them
(the outlaws) they would come on"
The soldiers found no trace of Secrists'
three companions, who are supposed to
be murdered. The existence Of the

Indian Territory causes much appre-
hsnsion among the people in the border
towns Of Southern Kansas, who fear
