Take the object in your hand, and
having called the pup to you, show it to
him, gently shaking it before him, when
he will at once want to take it in his
mouth. Instead Of letting him take it
from your hand, throw it, when his at
tention is on it, few yards away he
will be sure to sCamper after 1t, when
your next part is to coax him back to
YOU, as his natural inclination will be to
stop and play with it. If he does not
come to you, go to him, and taking hold
of the ball with one hand, with the other
very gently lead him back to where you
threw it from, and then, with as little
force as possible, take 1t awhy, place it
on the ground, do not allow him to touch
1t, but pat and praise him: in few min
utes repeat the operation, and continue
until he gets tired fit, at the first signs
of which stop the lesson. II this is re.
peated twice a day, the puppy will soon
be perfect, and will like the lessons all
the better, If at the end of each you re-
ward him with some tidbit. You must
then gradually extend the lesson out Of
doors, throwing the ball into grass or
elsewhere, that he may have to seek for
it; and 90 on until he will seek" at the
commanding use OF that word, with a
wave of the hand to guide him in the di.
rection in which you have previously
hidden the ball. These should be strict
ly private lessons, as the presence of any
other man or dog will distract the pupils
attention and spoil all Lessons in the
water are taught the same way. We
have seen dog trained in the manner
described (he was fine pup); SO that at
six months old he would go back two
miles and bring an article he had not
seen hidden; and so tender.mouthed we
have seen him carry winged crow a
mile and not hurt him, no easy task to
be perfor med.

Slavery is in itself re-.
proaCh to laboTing men, and that class
of men felt 1t, and did not choose to en-.
gage in any labor in the fields side by
side with bondmen. l believe that feel
ing existed. There were comparatively
few agricultural white laborers in the
South prior to the war. There were a
great many mechanics, and they had a
social position much higher than the
mechanics OF the North ever knew.
Anybody who has ever been in the
South must have noticed that when
white mechanics came to work at the
house OF planter they came to the
same table with him and his family,
and were always addressed as Mr., and
never by the first name. But there
were very few white men in the South
comparatively who worked in the
fields with black hands Of course
there were some, but think there was
certain reproach to manual agricultu'
raj labor that slavery caused, and
think men felt it and it kept them
away"
"Then President Lincoln's proclama.
ton really was benefit to the whole
South Z" "Oh, my dear sir, l do moi
think there can be any doubt of thai
now, even If there was ever any doubt
about the false economy. have never
heard one at the South who was moi
glad to see slavery at an end"
"But tho Southern men objected ?"
"0f course they had their feelings ot
inherited prejudice, their constitutions
right, as they conceived it. They were
always very sore about the reproach tc
them morally which slavery carried
with it, but no men can bear such mora
coercion. You know the earliest Abo.

turbed by the incendary course Of IA
natiCs of the North, negro slavery was
bound to die by the action of Southern
men themselves. Systems of gradual
emancipation were on foot and being
carried on, which would have ended in
ultimate emancipation of all men from
involuntary labor as much as any of us
are emancipated from it, for do not
know that we are or ever will be,
or ought to be, entirely freed from such
involuntary labor"

Senator Conkling, in the Execu-
tive Session which resulted in the
confirmation of Hayes New York
appointees, read some letters which
were very damaging to the Admins
tration. The Democrats tried to
have the injunction of secrecy re-
moved from tie letters, but the Re-
publicans voted it down. They were
not willing to show the Administra-
tion up in its true colors. When the
letter from the then Assistant Score
tary of the Treasury, Mccormick,
asking in behalf of "the President
an appointment in the New York
Custom-house for Judge Bradley's
son, was read, "for manifest rea-
sons" it created a sensation. Sen
ators could hardly credit what they
heard, and Mr.. Conkling had to read
the letter over. When he had read
the letter from John Sherman re-
questing an appointment for j. o.
Howard, Mr.. Conkling remarked
that that was ''for manifest reasons,
too, as Howard was Mr.. Hayes bio
grapher." Manifest reasons for ap-
pointing a son of s to 7 Joe Bradley
is good

In view Of all our troubles with
fraudulent Presidents, dishonest
Secretaries of the Treasury, corrupt
Government officials, Louisiana liars,
unappreciated Statesmen, resurrect-
ed politicians, sectional howlers, cat
tie diseases, defective water pipes,
custom house squahbles, and unnec-
essary constitutional debates, it
ought to afford us comfort to learn
that the inhabitants of the southern
province of Morocco are perishing
from starvation and disease; that
there is q good prospect of q severe
famine in Northern India; that the
people of Great Britain are in sore
distress, and that the plague is rag

Ed. Democrat:-Please publish in
the next issue of your paper the PRO
bable yearly salaries of the Clerk,
Sheriff, Probate Judge, Auditor,
Treasurer, Recorder and Commits
sioners, and oblige Ton j.
The salary of the Clerk is about
100000; Sheriff 100000; Probate
Judge $150O,OO; Auditor 100000;
Treasurer $2SOO,00; Recorder $780,
90; Commissioners will probably
amount this year to 100000 each.
The pay of the Clerk, Sheriff, Pro
bate Judge and Recorder, is received
from the fees of the offices, q con-
siderable amount Of which is never
collected, and Of course will reduce
the income of these officials some
less than we have set them down, es-
pecially of the Clerk and Sheriff.
The Treasurer and Auditor draw
their pay direct from the County
funds and it is a "solid" thing with
them when they leave their places.
These are the ones that pinch the
taxpayers the heaviest. So in the
case of the County Commissioners,
their pay is drawn from the county
funds, and the more days they put
in the more "oats' they grow for
themselves, and the less coal oil they
consume at the expense of the tax
payers.

that vacancies will be created to meet

rumors of contemplated changes in

The Soldiers and Sailors'O Orphans

The Soldiers and Sailors'O Orphans
Home at Xenia, was principally de-
stroyed by fire on Sunday morning
last. The main building was 800 by
40 feet and three stories high, and
the domestic building, 160 by 80 feet
and two stories high. Both these
were destroyed with all their con-
tents. The loss will be upwards of
$4,000. The fire originated in the
cellar, and seems to have been caus-
ed by spontaneous combustion. For
tunately all escaped, but one or two
are reported seriously burned. Sey-
eral members Of the Legislature and
their wives were spending the Sab
bath at the Home, and we're yet in
bed when the alarm was given, and
in order to save their lives were fore
ed to leap from the second story
windows of the building, as all 9th.
er mean nf escape were cut off. Mrs.
Keifer, wife Of the Superintendent
who is an invalid, was carried from
her room and helped down by means
of a ladder. DR.. Keifer, Mr.. and
Mrs. Brelsford and many of the
teachers, lost all their wordrobes, as
well as a number Of watches, trinkets
and their money.

Boiled down to a point the cipher
investigation proves that unauthor-
lied Democratic agents acting solely
upon their own responsibility, enter
ed bids for electoral votes rightfully
belonging to the candidate of their
party. Authorized Radical agents,
acting upon instructions received
from party headquarters, also enter
ed bids for the same electoral votes,
which did not belong to their Presi-
dental candidate. The Radical
agents secured the goods. HAYES
was ~inaugurated into his fraudulent
seat. The contract, repudiated by
TILDEN as soon as he heard of it, has
been carried out to the letter, bv
HAYES. Every one of the electoral
thieves has been provided with a
Federal office. Let the Republicans
put that into their pipes and smoke

"To the people who, as I believe
elected me President of the United
States; To the four million and q
quarter of citizens who gave me their
suffrages, I owed duty, service and
every honorable sacrifice, but not a
surrender of one jot or title of my
sense ofright or personal self respect.
Whatever the disappointment to
those who voted for me, whatever
the public consequences of suffering
the subversion of the elective system
by which alone free government
self-government-can be carried on,
by whatever casuistry a different
course might have been advocated
or defended, l was resolved that if
there was to be an auction of the
Chief Magistracy of my country I
would not be one of the bidders"
Thus spoke SAMUEL j. TILDEN at
the investigation of the cipher tele-
grams, and whatever ~prejudices may
have been worked up against him by
political opponents, no fair minded
person will deny that he came out of
the examination completely vindica-
ted and with no stain on his honor,
in connection with the villainy of
the purchase of the office of the Pres
idency. His enemies are loundering
like fish out of water, in their efforts
to smother the testimony and distort
it into meaning other than a vindi-
cation, but like the fraud of the
White House, its truth cannot be
covered over or hidden from the IN
prejudiced and unbiased. The Re-
turning Boards of Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida, were for sale
and their prices named. This was
proven beyond the shadow of doubt.
MI. TILDEN did not purchase any
one OF them, which IS also well known,
although he had the means to do SO,
but on the contrary, when it vas in
timated that such a thing could be
done, he denounced the idea and for
fear hat his friends might become
involved in some way to the villainy
and thus commit him to it, he order
ed their return from the States
On this point he says: "The danger
of entertaining wrong is hat it will
grow; one man does a thing because
another does it; reaction follows re-
action; wrongs grow until they be-
come a common practice-that was
one of the reasons which impelled me
to put my foot upon any approach to
anything of this kind"

1t is the hardest thing in the world
to get a satisfactory definition of
loyalty. The Confederate briga-
diers," meaning thereby the Demo
cratic House, were reproached for
disloyalty because they refused to
elect the gallant General Shields as
doorkeeper of the House, a position
he would not have accepted. Time
wears on, and Shields is elected Sen
ator from Missouri by the "Confed-
crate" Legislature of that State, and
this, too, according to the loyal
press, is evidence of disloyalty, be-
cause somebody else was not elected,
the election of Shields being punish
ment of a Union man. In this con.
nection the Pittsburg Post says:
