HUDSON BAY DOG.TEiMS.

Profanity-and particularly French pro-
lanity-seems necessary adjunct to dog
driving. 1t Is unfortunate that, by some
nscrutable dispensation of Providence, the
only method of reaching dogs reason
should be through unlimited imprecation.
But, speaking with the experience of many
days of dog-travel and an intimate ac-
quaintance with Il score or more of dog
trains, have never seen an attempt made
to reach it in any other way. / do not
seek TO exaggerate, but simply to present
dog-driving rs it really is-an inhuman
thrashing and varied cursing The cruel
ty with which dogs are treated cannot be
excused. 1t is true they are often obstin-
ate and provoking. and require severe
beating. especially from new driver. till
the team is brought into subjection. But
when helpless animals, undergoing severe
labor in the trains, are not merely beaten
on the body with heavy lashes, but sys-
tematically hogged on the head till their
ear, drip blood-beaten with whip
handles till their jaws and noses are cut
open with deep wounds--cudgeled with
clubs, knclt upon and stamped upon until
their howls turn into low mOans Of agony
punishment merges into sheer brutality.
And yet such treatment is of common oc-
currence. As said, the beatings from
being intermittent became incessant.
Many of the dogs had so exhausted them
selves by violent dartings hither and thith-
er in their endeavors to dodge the blows
of the descending whip, that they had no
strength left tor the Legitimate task of
hauling the sledge The heads of others
were reduced to swollen. pulpy mass by
tremendous thrashings, while one or two
had given out altogether and had been
taken from the harness and abandoned on
the plain The operation of ..sending
dog to Rome had been performed more
than once-a brutal operation in which the
driver sinks below the level of the beast.
Sending dog to Rome is effected by SIM
ply beating him over the head with club
or heavy whip-handle until he falls insen-
sble to the ground. When he reviyes,
with the memory of the awful blows that
deprived him of consciousness fresh upon
him he pulls frantically at his load. A
dog is sent to Rome for various and often
trivial observation-disclosures he shirks or
will not pull. because he will not permit
the driver to adjust some hitch in his hmr-
ness. While he is insensible, the necessa-
ry alteration is made, and upon recovering
consciousness he receives terrible lash
of the whip to set him going again.-Lip-

HOW TO PLANT PEAS.

Last spring put in my first peas and
potatoes on the 10Th of March, and had
splendid crops of both, but usually we
can not do much in the open soil before
the first week in April. As soon, howev-
er, Us the frost is out and the ground is
dry enough. shall plant in my driest and
warmest soil some Little Gem and Laxton's
Alpha peas. shall open fufr0ws three
inches deep for the Gems. and one foOt
apart, and in these filrrows scatter COM
post about an inch deep, draw pointed
hoe through the furrow to mingle the ma
nure with the soil, and then sow thickly--
three peas to an inch. | will treat the
LaNton's Alpha in the same way, with the
exception that the rows will be two and a
half feet apart. The Little Gems grow
only II foot high, and require no support.
The Alphas require two and half feet
brush. Two weeks later | shall plant for
second crop Little Gem, M'Lean' Advanc-
er, and Champion of England. l have
tried Il great many kinds, and have come
to the conclusion that the four kinds Ihaye
mentioned are the richest favored and suf-
tciently productive-in brief, all things
considered, the best. 1t is pleasant and
inexpensive amusement to try fifty other
kinds in small way. Since 'Let us
have peas is such a frequent and emphat-
ic remark at our dinner table. shall plant
literally every ten days until the 4th of
July. burying the seed deeper as the sea-
son advances, and choosing shadier and
moister localities. Very late paintings
are usually so injured by mildew that
were the vegetable not such favorite. /
would not plant it after the middle Of
May. Deep planting of the seed late in
the season insures longer bearing. pre-
fer Champion of England for the main
crop, rs it is by general consent regarded
as the flower of the pea family. The
short. low growing kinds like Little Gem
will be the better for any amount of ma
nure. but tall varieties like the Champion
do not need fertilizers in the drill unless
the ground is poor. When gardens are
small and brush is not convenient. it NAV
be best to plant the dwarf kinds only
They can be sown on ground designed for
tomatoes, Lima-beens, melons. SQUASH
etc, as they do not shade the ground. and
soon mature. | put them in such spaces
almost altogether. and in rows three or
four feet apart, and plant the latter vegte-
abes between them. As soon as the
green pods are picked, have the vines
dug under. thus returning at once to the
soil what was taken from it.-E. p Roe,
in Harper'S Mdgaziae for .4prH.

An Truth.

You deserve to suffer, and if you lead
a miserable, unsatisfactory life in this
beautiful world, it is entirely your own
fault and there is only me excuse for
you,-your unreasonable prejudice and
>kepticism, which has killed thousands.
Personal knowledge and common IL
reasoning will o o show you that
Green's August Flower will cure you
of Liver Complaint, or Dyspepsia, with
all its miserable effects, such as sick
headache, palpitation Of the heart, sour
stomach, habitual costiveness, dizziness
of the head, nervous prostration, low
spirits, &c. Its sales now reach every
town On the Western Continent, and
not a Druggist but will tell you of its
wonderful cures. You can buy a sam
pie bottle for 10 cents. Three doses
will relieve you. For sale by j. P.

of previous Congresses had also es-
tablished q rule to make themselves
liberal allowances for stationery,
newspapers, DC. The members of
the And Congress thought their con-
stituents should know what pay
their members or servants we're re-
ceiving.
The law of 1873 was intended to
remedy these matters. 1t abolished
mileage and all allowances and per-
quisites, except the actual expenses
a member was at in getting to apd
from Washington once each session.
The compensation of members was
fixed at $500 per annum, out of
which they we're to pay their own
postage, stationery bills and all 9th
er expenses, except actual expenses
in getting to and from the capitol.
Was the compensation fixed too
large? If so, wasn't a mistake? But
you fully answer that question in an
editorial published in the same issue
of the paper in which you publish
the vote. You say: mo wonder
the office holders under the Presiden-
tial Fraud cry out prosperity has
returned. Their salaries will buy
twice as much as four years ago."
The pay of $4,000 to a member of
Congress now is equal, at least, to
1900 in 1873.
You are mistaken when you say:
"that $4,000 could be claimed by
each member as back pay for the
two proceeding years." Not a single
member received that amount; and
some did not get as much as under
the old arrangement, after deducting
mileage &C., for three sessions which
were held during that term.
l ask pardon for t~respassing upon
your valuable space, but l have en-
deayored to be as brief as possible.

THE LOBBY.

There are two strong Hobbies here
at work now What all evil the sys-
tenn of lobbying is; you find them
wherever You find a legislative body.
They WELD a most powerful infu-
ence by any and all means. The
lobbyist usually has a glib tongue,
enticing manners, cheek and plenty
of money and it is hard for the aver
age man to Withstand such a COM
bination. 1t is generally the case
that the lobbyisti is found on the ques-
tionable side ola measure
Those who thought the Booth fee
bill a minor matter have been sur
prised at the excitement it has stir
red up among the county officers of
the State. They have been swarm
ing into the city this week and have
been working like tigers to defeat
the bill in the Senate. There is not
one of them but would make you be-
lieve he will starve to death under
that law, but they are all willing to
be a candidate for reelection all the
same. This lobby will not grow less
until the matter is settled.
The fred hot lobby is that from
Cleveland, working to get the legis-
lature to manipulate municipal laws
pertaining to that city so that it will
insure the appointment of Democrat
ic officials. This can be done by the
establishment of certain Boards,
which are appointed by certain city
officers who happen now to be Dem
ocrats. The Republicans a few years
ago did the very same trick in Gin
cinnati, so that should this bill for
Cleveland pass they can only suck
their thumbs and remember the STA
tai precedent" Still it is to be hop
ed the Democrats will rise above
such a measure as only political ne
cessity could justify. 1t is a clear
violation of the principle of "home
rule" which a Democrat should stand
up for if he falls in the last ditch. I
think the opinion now is that the
bill will fail, but the lobby will make
hot work for the members.

The Shelby News edited by S. S.
Bloom, member of the Legislature
from Richland county, says there is
a great deal of work to be done by
the Legislature. The remainder of
the codifying work prepared by the
Commission will be completed, be-
sides a report of575 pages laid be-
fore, the Republican Legislature, and
never touched by that body, will all
have to be passed upon this session.
The whole body of our laws, as now
and yet to be codified this winter,
should be passed upon as one bill,
and after being carefully revised,
enacted into a law. This should be
the ambition and aim of every men,
Der of that body, no matter of what
party he comes. 1t is the opinion of
leading members that the present
session will last until the middle of
April or first of May.
