London Saturday Review

London Saturday Review.
For Englishmen especially. the
story Of the American civil war must
always possess the most powerful at
fractions. On both sides the princi-
pies involved were those which most
deeply affect our own national feeling;
the language, the face, the ideas of the
combatants were our own. The army
of northern Virginia in particular,
from the nature Of the defense it had
to maintain, and the character it
earned and sustained, enlisted, and
will for generations continue to enlist,
the strongest English sympathies. 1t
fought with English tenacity, English
recklessness of consequences, English
Indifference to odds, what was from
the first very doubtful and soon be-
came an evidently losing battle.
Once only was it fairly beaten
in the open field; over and
over again, both on the offensive and
on the defensive, it proved itself more
than a match for apparently over
whelming odds. It's composition re-
sembled that of our own volunteer
regiments. It's chiefs were men whose
personal character and public conduct
displayed all the virtues on which
Englishmen most pride themselves; as
the people of Virginia are perhaps the
most thoroughly English of all the off
sets which the mother race has plant
ed in every part of the world. Gen
eral Lee was as perfect a type of the
ideal English soldier and gentleman as
history can show. "Stonewall" Jack
son reproduced, with many of its
eccentricties, but scarcely one of its
worse and meaner features, the his
toric character of the Puritan leaders.
Stuart, Fitzhugh, Lee and Wade
Hampton reminded those who closely
followed their career of the finest ex-
amples of English cavalier and sim
plicity.

A Chapter on Picnics.


Galveston CIeXl News.
The picnic is one of the most an
cient institutions there are. As a
general thing they are not what they
are cracked up to be, but they are
very popular, nevertheless. Picnics
began with the garden of Eden, and
have been going on ever since. This
shows that all mankind are really de-
scended from Adam, and Eve, of
course, too. 1t is inherent in man to
prowlabout occasionally like an Indian,
and as long as there are people and
bushes to prowl about in, picnics will
be kept. The picnic attains its full
size in the north. There was one the
other day at Paterson, New Jersey.
which resulted in row, in which sew
eral persons were killed and wounded.
When a picnic takes place near large
city, it is not considered a success un-
less some nice young man sits down on
the custard pie. Usually, when the
excursionists arrive on the grounds,
they find every preparation has been
made to receive them. The mosoui-
toes are on hand with their brass
bands, 1t would appear as if the red
bug, mosquitoes and seed-ticks had
held joint caucus, and appointed a
committee OF arrangements to see to it
that the excursionists are kept busy.
They are all sociable, but the seed.
tick is the most familiar upon a short
acquaintance. He not only sticks to
the excursionists while they are on
the grounds, but gets into the cars
and goes home with them. Excur.
sionists have been detected trying
to shake off a seed.tick with an old
pair of bullet moulds two weeks
after the first introduction. II
is almost as certain to happen as
if it was laid down in the pro-
gramme for the entertainment to
break up in a row. Unusual rougbs
from the city put in an appearance
insult the ladies, and then everybody
has a rough time of it. 1t will be re-.
membered by some Of the older citi-
zens that the FIRST picnic in the garden
OF Eden ended in row. Adam got 4
rib gouged out while he was exhaust.

had attended some of the modern pic.

DOG DAYS.
u Summer IdyI With n POisO ned
Dog fora Theme.

The days of the Bohemian canine
are numbered, and his pitiful moan
goes forth through the land. Every
body is owned by one or more dogs,
and the following cannot fail to be of
some passing interest
After the notice given through the
papers that on and after that date all
unmuzzled dogs found running at
large would be destroyed, Mr.. Boyd,
the turnkey at the station house, was
notified to fix up his solid shot. A
few moments after, the turkeys
supple form might have been seen van
ishing in the direction Of the
butchers, from whence he emerged
with FIVE pounds of beef held under
J his arm. From there he meandered
to the drug store and in answer to a
mysterious wink box of something,
labeled with skull and cross bones
and the word "stricknine," might
have been seen handed over to him.
With his nose pointed in the direc-
tion of the station house, his feet were
placed selemnly one before the other
for the space Of about five minutes,
when he enters the back door of the
station house aud is lost to the public
gaze.
The privileged few then see him gel
out his butcher knife, draw it three
or four times across his boot
and feel OF its edge. II
is at last sharpened to his satisfaction
and procuring a board, he proceeded
to cut the meat into slices about two
inches square by one inch thick, make
an incision and insert as much poisor
as he can hold upon the point of hii
knife blade. A fatally inquisitiv,
canine just at this moment thrusts his
nose through the bars and piece o
meats very kindly thrown him b,
way of experiment. In less than on
minute that dog rolled his eyes to tn
ceiling, fell on his knees and com
menced to say his prayers softly t
himself. As he prayed his frame wa
gradually filed with feeling until h
could contain himself no longer, an
one long, appealing howl rent til
air, and drove the thumb

views with nearly one hundred far.
mers from various sections of the val.
ley, show that the universal condu.
sions among them is that the croI
prospects were never better. Wheat is
20 per cent. better this than last yeal
at the same date. The yield of the
wheat tributaries to the Northern
Pacific last year was 100000. The
acreage and prospect for 1880 indi.
cate 100000. The wheat seeded
just before the last storm, three weeks
ago, is stronger, brighter and better
than the later seeding.

New YORK is endeavoring to frame
license law for large cities. that will
properly regulate the sale Of liquor.
1t abandons the idea that it can be
prohibited. The rates of license
which it provides are from $50 to 800
for the sale of wine, beer and ale, and
from $lOO to $3.50 for the sale Of wine,
beer, and liquors to be drank off the
premises. Every person applying for
a license must produce the recommen-
dation of twelve respectable citizens
of the assembly district in which he
lives, and must give ample security
that he viii observe the law. The
last clause requiring the vender to
give security for the observance Of
the law before obtaining license, is a
good plan, provided the security is moi
of the straw pattern.

coming over him he yawned irrepres-
sibly, Having said amen to his
prayer Of anguish, emphasizing it by
an eloquent groan, he proceeded to
take a little recreation by rolling over
the floor. People sympathized with
him and moved quietly, but quickly
out of the way, to give him plenty of
room. 1t was really astonishing, the
extraordinary gambols that dog per-
formed. He walked on his hind legs,
waltzed on his ear, polkad off on his
tail, stood on his head, caught the
round of a chair between his teeth and
heldit straight out before the admiring
gaze of the audience, and finally, com
pletely tired out, threw himself, ex-
hausted, under bench and fell into
an everlasting slumber, with a smile
that told Of ministering angels with
blue coats and brass buttons, on his
face. His epitaph was written on a
little piece of blank paper and hung
upon a file at one side of the room.
1t was as follows:
Dead dog under bench at station
house."
The spectators then wiped their
weeping orbs upon their coat tails and
left the turnkey to his work, which
was quickly brought to close by
wrapping ten pieces of beef in twenty
pieces of paper, and depositing them
under the counter to be dosed out to
policemen.
His work soon began to tell. By
noon the stationhouse was thronged
with messengers, each bearing a com
munication beginning dead dog. -
The telephone set up an incessant
ringing, and people began to babble Of
deceased CANNES. Fat men stood on the
opposite side of the street and small
boys climbed upon 1.-THE counter, bawling
free funeral notices of inanimate cats
The clerk pulled off his coat at nine
o'clock, aud at ten his vest was hang.
ing on nail, and by noon his shirt wa,
in imminent danger. His collar had
long since become deranged and his
cravat was for sale as a shoe string
His facile pencil was worn to a stub
and the scavenger's file looked like
snow drift,
1t is estimated that up t.
this date three hundred dogs hav,
"shuffied off this mortal coil" from
the effects of ugratuitous food distrib
