How a Farmer Knew His dog.

From Forest and Stream.
Some years ago farmer in Washing
ton recognized fine setter that had been
given to him when pup, in the street.
He seized his lost dog, and was assailed
by the person who had got possession
of him.
"This is my dog, gentleman, and you
don't take him from Inc unless you take
my life at the same time"
Finally the parties were taken before
a magistrate.
"Judge, this is my dog, and | can
prove it to you" So be stopped, plnched
up the skin of the chest before the fore
leg, made straight incision with a
knife, and took out bird-shot which he
showed to the Judge, and which had
certain knife-marks or crosses on it.
"Judge, this pup was given to me
three years ago by Gus r, and
Mr., the grocer on L street, at the
corner, can tell you that as soon as l got
the dog took him TO his store, marked
shot, and put it under his skin, first

THE PASSAGE of the silver bill over
President Hayes veto was the greatest
triumph over the present Republican ad-
ministration with John Sherman in the
Cabinet, yet achieved. The vote In the
Senate was 4S ayes, "a Of which were
Democrats, to 21 nays, 9 OF which were
Democrats. In this vote a Republican
Senste gave Mr.. Hayes to understand
that that body would not sustain his
veto. Both parties rejected it. The
vote stood "a Dem. and "a Rep. for
the bill over the veto, and Dem. and
Is Rep. for the veto. A nameless con-
temporary who had charged the Demo
Gratis in the House who voted for the
silver bill as 'Jools and kndres," made
itself more ridiculous by calling the
Senators who voted for the bill "con-
s,nmate fools" The vote in the House
on the veto was 1876 ayes to 70 nays.
Thus passing the bill over the veto by
an unheard of majority.
The bill stands to-day unimpeacheo
for its wisdom and is silent reminder
to Mr.. Hayes and John Sherman of the
fact that had such vote in the British
Parliament been taken, the Ministry
would have found it necessary to resign
at once. There never was vote that
showed a greater want of confidence
than the vote by which the Silver bill
was passed over the veto of Hayes and
his Cabinet,

Col. MARTINS AMENDMENT If
our esteemed contemporary, the Sentinel,
will look back to the platform Of the
Democratic party in Delaware, it may
assure itself of the entire consistency of
Representative Martin and the GAZETTE
therewith. In the campaign in which
Col. Martin was elected he clearly de-
fined his position on many stump;
and in his speech in the Grand Opera
House in this city, he clearly stated that
he was in favor of gold and silver as
legal tender money, and that too of the
present standard and of weight ard
fineness, in the silver bill passed by both
Houses of Congress, vetoed by Hayes
and again passed both Houses by over a
two-thirds vote. Col. Martin was es-
pecially clear in his speech in this city,
and could not have been misunderstood
In his dissent to paper as legal tender.
He was not only clear as to that, but
concurred in the remarks of Senator
Salisbury, made at the same meeting.
Senator Salisbury took occasion to say
to the crowded audience that he would
not vote 10 increase the interest
paying debt of this country by the
issue of bonds to buy gold for re-
sumption purposes; nor would he vote
to issue legal-tender paper money to re-
deem the bonds held for the U. S. banks.
But he might vote for the issue of Trea-
sury notes; that would not violate the
Constitution as he regarded the legal
tender paper money to do.
Col. Martins amendment to Mr..
Buckner's bill, which was mentioned in
the GAZETTE last week, is entirely con-
sistant with his former record and with
the platform Of the Democratic party as
we'll as the course of the GAZETTE.
As to the time for the repeal of the legal
tender clause, 1t is possible our Senators
may differ, we do not know. But OF the
one vital fact that the whole delegation
in Congress are in favor OF gold ant
silver as legal tenders, there is no doubt
and they all stand on the Delaware
platform.
As 10 Senator Bayard's seat, we assur,
our esteemed contemporary that it ma,

want to light the Democratic watchfire
