Dog Travel in the Winnipeg
Country.


For winter travel dogs have hith-
erto been largely used, as with light
loads they are swifter than horses.
To drive team of dogs it is said one
must be able to swear in English,
French or Cree, while to be a first
rate dog driver requires a fluent COM
mand of profanity in three languages.
Some years ago a well-known Winni-
peg ecclesiastic was making an extend
ed winter trip the dogs, though fire.
quently whipped, made little progress,
so the bishop demonstrated with the
driver. That tunctionary replied
that he could not make them 90 un-
less he swore at them absolution
was, therefore, given him for the trip,
and the dogs, hearing the familiar ex-
pletives, trotted along briskly. Dog
driving, however, is passing out of use
in the northwest, as it is becoming
much more expensive to keep dogs
than it is to keep horses. While but.
falO were abundant, and every post
and Wigwam could have unlimited
pemmican, it was easy for any man to
keep a kennel but as the buffalo are
rapidly disappearing, and, as the dogi
must be fed throughout the whole
year, while the horses can forage fol
themselves at all seasons, horses are
being used almost entirely on the
prairies, except in the more northern
districts, where game and fish are very
abundant.

A POInpetan House.
London News.l

London News.l
Our Naples correspondent writes
"The house which was begun to be
excavated at the celebration of the
centenary of Pompeii, and is therefore
called Casa del Centenario," from
which l saw three skeletons dug out
has proved to be the largest hitherto
discovered, and is of peculiar interest,
1t contains two atria, two trichnia,
four alae, or wings, a calidarium, fri
gidarium and tepidarium. 1t occu-
pied the outer space between three
streets, and likely fourth, which has
yet to be excavated. The vestibule is
elegantly decorated and its mosaic
pavement ornamented with the figure
of a dolphin pursued by a seahorse. In
the first atrium, the walls of which
are adorned with small theatrical
scenes, the pavement is sunk and
broken, as if by an earthquake, and
there is a large hole through which
one sees the cellar. The second atri-
um is very spacious, with handsome
perisyile. the columns-white and red
stuccO-being twenty-six in num-
Der. In the center is a large
marble basin, within the edge of this
runs a narrow strip. On the pedestal
at one side was found the statuette
at the Faun, which lately described.
The most interesting place in the
house is an inner court or room on
the side of which is the niche, with
tiny marble steps, often to be seen in
Pompein houses. The frescos on
the walls are very beautiful.
Close to the floor is a wreath of leaves
about a quarter of a yard wide,
with alternately a lizard and stork.
Above it, about yard distant, droop,
as if from over wall, large branches
of vine or ivy and broad leaves like
those of the tiger lilly; all very freely,
naturally and gracefully drawn. At
each corner of the room bird clings
to one of these branches. Then comes
a space, bordered at the top by anoth-
er row of leaves, in WHICH is repre-
sented o whole aquarium, as if the
room were lined with tanks. There
are different sorts of shells and
aquatic plants lying at the bottom of
the water, and swimming in
it or on it all kinds Of hsh, Jelly
fish, sepias, ducks and swans, admira-
bly, sketched with a light, yet firm
touch. The ripples made by the
swimming ducks are indicated, and
one duck is just flying into the water
with a splash. On each side of the
niche this amusing aquarium is en-
livened by a special incident. To the
left a large octopus has caught Q
monstrous murena (lamproYl-ThicR
turns round TO bite-ip its tentocle (,
to Che night a tine lobster has pierced
another murena through and through
with its long hard feelers or horns.
These creatures are painted in the nat
ural colors very truthfully. On tho
left wall of the room, above the hshes,
are two sphiRxss, supporting on their
heads square marble vases, on the
brim Of each Of which sits a dove.
Behind the niche, on the left side Of
the room, runs a little gallery With a
corridor underneath. lighted by
snail square holes IN the border Of
hanging branches. The wall Of this
gallery behind the niche j
decorated with q woodland land
scape, in which, on one side is
represented bull running frantically

ENCOURAGEMENT.

InlS community mas Deen IrequenJ-
ly shocked of late by the commission
of this offense. 1t is a high offense
in morals, and the penalty is very Sc
we're. Sec. 4708 of the code reads
thus: "Any officer, agent, or clerk of
any incorporated company, or any
clerk or agent of copartnership or
private person, except apprentices and
other persons under the age Of eigh-
teen years, who embezzles or fraudu
lently converts to his own use, any
money or property Of another which
has come to his possession, or is under
his care by virtue of such employ
ment, shall, on conviction, be pun
ished by confinement in the peniten-
tiary not less than five nor more than
twenty years" Whoever has com
mitted this crime, or is tempted to do
SO, ought to. read these plain words
and tremble. But much of their
force has been taken away by thG
equally criminal conduct Of employ
ers. The compounding of this Offense
is nearly as frequent as the commits
sion. The law against compounding
felonies is also severe. Sec. 4787 pro-
vides that If any person having knowl-
edge of the commission of any ofense
punishable with death or imprisor- :
ment in the penitentiary for limited
term of years, is guilty Of the ofense
described in the preceding section
(compounding crimes), "he shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the
county jail not exceeding one year,
and by fine not exceeding five hundred
dollars" His guilt is shown if he
take any money or valuables, consid-
Grafton, or gratuity, or any promises
thereof, upon an agreement or under
standing, expressed or implied to COM
pound or conceal such offense, or not
prosecute the same, or not to give evi-
dence thereof" (See sec. 1885, A
man may lawfully demand, receive or
sue for his money which has been en-
bezzled but he may not receive it
occupied with promise or understand
] ing that he will not prosecute tie
offender. Justice and morality re-
quires that the person thus defrauded
should prosecute. He should ap-
pear promptly before the grand
jury and see that punishment
be inflicted. He has no right to take
his own money back, if in so doing he
gives the thief the least reason to be-
lieye he is to escape punishment.
There should be no understanding,
express or implied, to that effect. 1t
is grossly immoral to do so and this
statute makes it high misdemeanor
1t is not necessary that an Indictment
should be pending in order that the
compounding shall be illegal. The
public is usually victimized by hush
ing up this offense. The criminal not
only escapes punishment, but he robs
his ext employer, because his former
guilt las been concealed. Nothing
would be more just and healthful than
for some prominent compounder Of
this crime tc spend year in the
county Jail. Every such thief has it
in his power to revenge himself on the
man who compounds. It is risk
that must always be incurred. But
however that may be practically, the
law stamps him who compounds as a
criminal.

THE WHIPPING PosT.-Mr. Bergh
astonishsd the people of New York
when he announced to an audience
there that he was in favor of introduc-
ing the whipping post AS u punish-
ment for crime. Nj. Bergh is right in
his views on this matter. In nine
cases out Of ten the dread of the lash
on the bare back has more influence TO
deter men from crime than the fear of
confinement in jail or penitentiary.
Mr.. Bergh seems to adhere to his
opinion and in an article to she New
York Times advocates its adoption in
that State. In his article he takes oc :
casion to refer to Delaware, and pub
fishes letter from Sheriff Clark of
this county, in which reference is
made to the salutaryeffect the Post and
PIllory had upon Big Frank aud his
gang of bank robbers who visited this
city some years ago and undertook to
gag and bind the cashier and his fam
lily and rob the Bank Of Delaware ia
day light. 1t would not surprise the
people Of Delaware much to find the
much abused whipping post erected
again in some Of the States where i,
has been termed barbarous and in
human.

government saw proper 10 work In the
interest Of the people there is not bill
OF doubt that the policy introduced by
the Democratic Congress two or three
years ago requiring the coinage Of god
and silver, has placed II in position To
enable 1t to liquidate thres hundred or
four hundred millions OF bonds by the
issue OF Treasury notes with perfect
safety. For with $780, 100000 Of gold
and silver in the governmeAt vaults the
Treasury note would be still the most
secure note ever issued setting aside It's
other great responsible qualities.
I'VE do not offer objections to the
National Banks, ard cannot see why
they should be dealt with quite 50 rigid
ly. Certainly there is no necessity now
for requiring them 10 hold so large re-
serve ON hand; one half of this would
sufice nor is there any necessity for re-
talning ten per cent. tor security for
their circulation-6ve per cent. would be
an ample guarantee. A change in these
two ma ters would assist the National
Banks great deal when short of cur
rency.
The banks have made a great deal
out of the governments high rate OF
interest on it's bonds. If the rate of
interest is reduced to 8 per cent. they
might be willing 10 give up the circu-
lation Of their notes and give the
government (or the people, the benefit
Of what is to be made out of the pa
per cirsula ing medium. This would
result in n very heavy gain TO the side
Of the government and enable it to
reduce The taxes at least twenty mil
ions a year or reduce the public debt
that much if the present ra e Of taxa
