II the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO. Feb. 27.-I was pleased to see, in
your Saturdays issue, the communication
over the signature Of "Agricola," who
"speaks right out in meeting" and has no
fear Of trenching on the territory OF the Off
cial who seems to think the whole world is
hanging upon his declaration, and who hay
ing once said the "water is pure" must hot
40 back upon the statement, else his supreme
wisdom is brought into question, and the
glory and emoluments Of office fade into thin
air.
Now, although the true solution of the
matter, and the grand remedy, may not be
struck in the suggestion Of "Agricola," he is
certainly upon the correct road to relief, and
if the community give attention to it, and the
practical man be heard more, and the official
usually more practical in politics than in
mixed huids) be heard less, we may hope to
work our way out of the hourly danger we
are in.
whose business should be to sink self-glory in
the general good replies to an applicant to
purchase filter, with which lie offers to
show the impurities in the water: i've
been saying for ten years that tilis water is
the purest in the world, and tIo you suppose
7 am going back on it now ?';; and again,
when another, not a city officer, but yet in
the employ of the city, III the line Of which
we are writing, declares to Il party discussing
the condition of the water, and the sewage
contained thereirf that our interest and
mine are adverse; you wish the people to
know it, and then to make Il profit out Of it;
but mine is to suppress the true condition.
and keep the facts secret" He claimed
they were at work at it, OF rather discussing
the matter, and Hoped to see a remedy to the
difficulty. But can we afford to wait the
slow progress of official discussion when
there is double aill-to hide the errors Of
past Judgment, and to secure the glory Of the
natent for the new discovery?
I hold it is better . let the people know
what is their t.angel md common sense and
a practical mind u ~ help MS out. Your
correspondent "Agricola" says ait smells
to heaven" opiEe sometimes when |
catch the transmitted essence Of decay from
nv lytlrant that it smells from the hotter
county, and, to finish his quotation, ssllafh
the direst curse upon it,
Let US '::itate, shake it up, even though,

might.

The sun, in flood Of glory,
Has sunk meath the Western ware;
The day has vanished forever,
And lies in Times mighty grave.
The shades Of evening are falling,
And lie on the waters breast; =.
And the wind through the pines is signing,
AS tho lulling the world to rest
Now Night, the dark -browcd goddess,
Ger all the sleeping land
UnfO1ds her sable mantle
And waves her star-gemmed wand. +.
Weary Nature grccts her with sladness;
Stayed is the days busy throng;
The solemn hush is 1lnbroken,
Save by the nightingale's song.
He pours out his liquid measures
IN an endless, cbbing rhyme;
Singing OF joy and sadness,
Singing OF death and time.
If then, from the Nights deep darkness,
Such exquisit melodies flow,
surely from our weak sorrows
We may gather some gladd'ning glow.

3 Poor Dogs.
To tie Editor at TIE Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO, Feb. 37.-The enemies of dogs
burglars, sneak-thieyes, and footpads-are
raising u great hue and cry" through the
columns OF THE TRIBUNE for their own in
terest, and all because q Newfoundland dog,
driven insane with rage OIL account of brutal
treatment by its owners, breaks its bonds
and avengcs itself in a doglike way.
The question arises, Who is to blame, the
dog or its master? The annals Of hydro
phobia do not show one authenticated ca Sc
Of rabies in a dog or human being that was
not produced by human agency,-the brutal
or careless master OIL one side, and .sQuaek "
doctors on the other. The IL doctor" by his
course Of poisonous remedies " would give
Il hippopotamus the hydrophobia, let alone
weak human being, already half mad b. rea-
SON uf fear anu the advice of his solicitous
"friends" The best means to prevent a
person from going mad " through fear" on
being bitten BY Il rabid dog, is to Immediately
get is drunk rs q 's billed owl,' and keep 50
for two or three days. and they can rest as
sured that the whisky will etfectually neu-
traliZe any dog poison" in the system, on
the principle that it neutrallzes a arattlcsnake
or any bite.
The idea of s]aughtering all dogs simply
because one goes ''lnad is the most ludi-
crOuS sentiment ever expressed by any one.
Why not kill all human beings OH the same
principle? Here III this State we have hun
drcds Of mad people, who were driven SO
through brutal treatment; and does 1t stand
to reason that all humanity should be slaugh-
tered because few go mad
And now, my dear dog-haters, burglars,
and f0otpads, please to give us 4 rest about
dogs, and, if you are afraid Of being lacerated
by a dcmentcd canine, wear boots with alli-
gator-skin legs, SO that if one happens to
take Il notion to your leg he will bite an ali
gator instead Of you. One, time the "hue
and cry was against :srat-terriers,' p another
time against "Spitzn dogs, while now it is
against the most noble and trustworthy Of
dogs, the Newfoundland; and right here I
will state that there is not a single authenti-
Gated case: OF rabies in a dog of this species
There are cases where they have been driven
wild with rage, but not rabies. In fact, it is
the only species that seem to escape hydro
pilobia. We know that children are the ia
yorit victims of mad dogs, and the reason is,
that most dogs are driven insane through
their brutal Treatment by some 'mother's
darling" If owners would treat their dogs
with common humanity, we should hear Of
very few cases of hydropllobia. But, where
human beings have such poor show, what
can we expect for dogs? Yours truly,
A. ]. MCDONALD.

CHICAGO. Feb. 27.-A stranger to me,

the British flag FROM the decorations OF the
Exposition Building at the meeting III behalf
Of starving Ireland. j..
He does not attempt to meet the arguments
presented but indulges in scurrility instead.

A Chance for Inventors.


DEFIANCE, O., Feb. 2T.-When was read
ing in your paper the account Of the new
"Repellcnt," thought it might be a very
useful invention, and then thought Of one
which L think possible that would be a thou
sand times more useful, viz: a substitute for
leather to clothe the feet, something that
will last at least month, and keep the feet
dry too. Shoes, rs now made, are a most
disastrous failure, both to pocketand health.
The best of them will scarcely hold together
a month, and then water runs through them
like it would through sieve, causing much
ill-health and consequent doctors bills. Now
let your inventors either find a substitute for
leather, or take leather and impregnate it
with something that will make it waterproof
and durable, and have the shoes put together
by some process that will make them stay to-
gether. Tile successful one will make fort
line and get the blessings Of millions of
despondent heads Of large fanllles.1xu

Irish Donations to 1lao Pope.


CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-I find the following in
this mornings issue of THE TRIBUNE:
The Irish College has presented to bis Holiness
Leo XIII. 4t'o, received rs Peters M pence from ron
cese Of Kilmore, The grateful testimonial Of the
Irish people.
There is something strange about all this.
The Irish people are starving. Those who
are in want are mainly Catholics. From
them must come the offerings Of Peters
pence: The Pope accepts this money ex-
torted ~ by the priests from the suffering
Irish peasants!
It seems that it is not only the landlords
that grind the people of Ireland. And just
now the people Of America, mainly Protest
ants, are contributing money to the suffering
Irish, which money will Indirectly find its
way into the poke Is of the Pope Of Rome.
Why does not the Pope. gracefully return
this money to his starving votaries? But
there Is little hope Of that. H.
