Floral Decorations.

There is no accounting Tor tasie. OK eyl
daisies as bom0nniers for gentlemen, and
corsage bouquets for ladies have been ''al
the rage. But fashions change in floral de,
corations as il everything else. Peonies and
hollyhocks for the corsage have supplanted
the daisy, and we saw, few days ago, in the
belt of pretty young brunette in Westmln
ster, two scarlet lilies. Sunhowers will be
abundant, soon, and we respectfully submit
that these giant garish floral paragons will be
far more conspicuous, not to say recherche,
than holyhocks and peoniesi and, if sunfow-
ers are not sufficiently haut, we suggest a
cauIiaower by the side of it, or full blown
early york, or a jimson or hybrid datura.
Why should not beauty rifle the floral king
dom TO heighten its charms and ravish the
eve of creations lords?

scampering upth heights of Alma, and receiy-
ed q medal which he wore to the day OF his
death, attached to silver collar. There was
Capricorne, who was present with the sixty
fifth regiment at the taking OF the village OF
Magenta, and who is said TO rave dragged q
vivandere by the skirt to spot where an officer
lay wounded and gasping for water. This dog got
q medal too. 1t might have been thought that
such recollections would have pleaded In favor
OF martially disposed dogs to all time; but Gen.
Fare, the war minister, who has abolished so
many things dear to the military mind-drums,
drum majors, breastplates and white gloves
some months ago issued an edict that all dogs
should be expelled from barracks He did not
make use of the proverbial excu5e that they
were liable to go mad but he charged them
with being quarrelsome. 1t was said that when
several battalions were quartered in one bar
rack, their dogs fought for supremacy; and q
still more painful accusation was preferred
against one Individual dog of having snapped
at the calves of an INSPECTOR general who had
walked into barrack yard in plain clothes.
These charges proved fatal to the dogs, and
they had to 60. There were some sad leave
takings when the four-footed pets were turned
out to find new homes in the houses OF married
officers, for that was the destiny Of most OF
them; and pathetic scenes when some OF these
animals, breaking away from their restraints,
found their way back to barracks and
gamboled in, leaping and yeping with JOY:
1t seems, indeed, that few Of the cashiered
dogs have been able 10 accommodate then-
selves to the irksorneneSs of civilian life. The
soldiers, on the other hand, find barracks duller
than ever without the dogs, and 1t is being
urged on their behalf that General Fare would
do popular thing if he revoked his edict. 1t
has been announced that in the Russian army
dogs are being trained to act as sentries. No
such utilitarian purpose is contemplated by
those who would like to see the French mill
tary dog restored to his franchises; it is simply
pleaded for him that he was cheerful compan-
ion, who pleased the soldiers by his antics, his
ceverness (ior he was sometimes trained TO
walk on his hind legs and shoulder arms), and
who was devoted, watchful, but above all
amusing

Another Nostrum Fails.

Those who believe that the publication OF
politics and the certain selection of good
men for office is to be accomplished by
means of those defacements of ballots known
as sspasters," or 'sstickers,' will be grieved
TO learn that these agencies of reform are
used for swindling purposes, and to defeat
instead of to promote honesty at the polls.
In Massachusetts, where the cutting OF votes
is political fashion, the method is for the
independent voter to paste over the name OF
his fayorite candidate a slip bearing the du-
plication Of that candidates name and speci-
flying the Office for which he is nominated.
This '.sticker" is SO insecurely pasted that
it drops off before the ballots are taken
from the box. and so the candidate gets two
votes where he is entitled to but one.
Those who have been taught to believe
that the salvation of the country and its res
cue from the control of selfish politicians de-
pend upon the man who makes a custom of
defacing his ballot, and who have been led
to suppose that all honesty and patriotism
and wisdom are to be found in his breast,
will of course be sadly disappointed at the
failure of their panacea for the ills of the
body polite The fact that professional
reformer is often a cheat, seeking selfish
ends through crooked ways, will be an as
founding revelation to them. They will be
disagreeably shocked to learn, too, another
fact-that men often cut ballots because OF
envy or selfish interest or other unworthy
motives, and that the famous remedy so ex-
tensively advertised in independent pa
pers is no more effectual and quite as capa-
BILE of abuse as any other nostrum advocated
by political quacks.

Regimental Dogs.

A French paper has been lifting up its voice
in favor of e very humble yet interesting see
tion of the military establishment-reg regimental
dogs. Formerly almost every battalion or cav
airy sqnadron of the French army had its pet
dog, an animal who belongs to nobody in par
ticular, but who contrived to serve his many
masters with fidelity and zeal. Hes-was free OF
the barrack rooms; he dined off the soldiers
leavings; he harbored proper prejudice
against all civilians, and barked at them; but
he wagged his tail in friendly way to every
man wearing red trousers. When the battalion
marched out the dog marched out too, stepping
decorously by the drum majors side, with his
tail curled, and disdaining the greetings Of
other dogs who might be anxious to salute him
in the streets.
Some of these dogs acquire renown in war.
There was Pistache, the dog Of the second bat
talon of the third chasseurs who got wounded
