A DOG That Catches Olana

John Hopkins, our popular clam VEN
der, has novelty in the way Of clam
mining dog. So proficient has he be-
that a few days ago he followed bis
master to the ''flats'' and caught no
less than three hundred CLAIMS, taking
one clam at time and placing them
oil in one huge pile. The most curious
part, however. is that he can find them
under the sand. The clam sign is
somewhat similar to that of the man
ninoe-a little hole in the sand about
the size of garden pea. During low
water, when the flatsare dry, the dog
will search diligently for these signs,
and when found digs with his paws un-
til the clam is brought to light, then
taking 1t in his mouth he carries it to
his pile. and thus he keeps on until his
master has secured CLANS enough or the
tide comes in and prevents further work.

The Improvement Of Human Health.

The Improvement Of Human Health.
In result Of somewhat large ao-
quaintance with the facts held to indi-
cate the state and progress of ''human
health" fear my testimony must be
given to show that the improment
effected by science consists in pro-
longation of the passive endurance of
life, rather than an extension of the
period of true vitality, or any increase
Of the opportunity for good work and
real intellectual enjoyment. We may
''live'' longer, but our lives are not
either happier or more useful for the
excessive energy recently devoted to
the conversation of health, or the inor-
dinate and laborious me-.ns taken to
avoid disease and death. 1t may,
doubtless be possible to raise humanity
to the level of one of those scientific
toys which approximate perpetual mo-
ton, but expend their whole force in
moving themselves. Whether longe-
witty purchased at the price passing
lifetime in running away from death
would be having, must leave to be
determined by the Judgment Of those

think men were happier and better,
and lived nobler lives. before the pur.
suit of health and the yearning for
longevity became q craze, almost
amounting to madness what to eat,
drink, and avoid. what to wear, whore
and how to live, by what means to avoid
infection, to keep off disease, and to
escape death for a few weary and wor-
ried years. are questions which 80 en-

Booths Body.

The Washington correspondent Of tho
Buffalo Commercial writes: 1T was
only after some patient inquiry that I
could ascertain tho facts, which are In.
teresting and, as far as l know. are yet
unpublished. Booth. tho murderer Of
Abraham Lincoln. died, a. will be re-
membered, in barn in Maryland. from
a wound received from the musket Of
Boston Corbett. The body was brought
to Washington. and, after having been
identified by the court martial before
which his fellow conspirators were
tried, was dissected by the surgeon-gen-
eral Of tho army. The brain and heart
and some parts Of the body were pre-
served in alcohol and are now on exhi.
bition in the medical museum of the
surgeon-generars Office. The building
in which the assassination occurred was
Ford's theater. The government con-
fiscated it. but afterward Ford was paid
it's full value, and it has since been used
as headquarters Of the medical corps
OF the army. The brain and heart Of
Booth are in Jars, standing in case
that Is very near the actual scene Of
the assassination. After the surgeons
had done with Booths body it was bur-
led in grave in the arsenal grounds.
Only half . dozen persons knew tho
exact spot, which was unmarked. In
1867 Edwin Booth, the actor, sent Mr..
Weaver, the sexton of Christ church,
Baltimore. to Washington, with the re-
quest that the remains Of his brother
might be taken up and removed to the
family burial place. After some delay
tho request was granted by President
johnson, who was finally appealed to.
and Mr.. Weaver took the body to the
cemetery in Baltimore, and buried it
beside the elder Booth and others Of
tho family. The removal was conduct
ed with great secrecy. and was con-
cealed from Secretary Stanton, who
had refused to give his consent.

THE DEADLOCK.

The Republicans Caucus Arrives at No
Final Decision-A Disposition to Hold
Executive Sessions.
WASHINGTON, April 27-Republican Sena-
tors to-day devoted several hours to a caucus
interchange of views in regard to the suggest
ed advisability of breaking the present dead
portion of executive business. The colloouial
discussion in which nearly every member pres
emit participated developed an entire unanimi-
ty OF opinion that no action ought to be taken
in regard to the deadlock which would tend to
weaken or seem to withdraw the moral SUP.
port thus far given by Republicans of the Sem
ate to the independent movement in the south
or what would place the Republicans in an at
titude OF receding from the position taken by
them that majority is entitled to control the
action OF the Senate in the election of officers
and all other matters for which they have
constitutional responsibility. The prevalent
sentiment was that to raise the deadlock suffic-
iently to admit of immediate action upon mat.
tiers OF special Importance would not weaken
the Republicans in their contest for constitu-
tional principles and political advantages but
would in fact strengthen them thereafter to
resume to indefinitely continue the struggle to
the final issue. But with view of securing
entire harmony of feeling and concert of action
it was finally agreed that some further time
should be devoted to private consultation and
individual consideration of the whole matter
before bringing it to point of caucus action.
Caucus accordingly adjourned to meet again
at call of chairman.
1t is understood the chairman of the caucus
was authorized to appoint committee of sew
en- to take into consideration athe subject dis
cussed to-day and to report at future meeting.
