The Monument If Republicanism.

Although Sergeant Mason, in firing a shot at
Gu1teau, showed excessive zeal and deserves
severe reprimand. there is no reason why be
should be treated like brute by the army
authorities at Washington. If the statements
of the National Republican are true, Guiteau
receives better treatment and has more COM
Portable accommodations than Mason. That
paper says: He was placed in close confine-
a broken skylight through which the rain
poured, completely drenching him and giving
him a severe cold. He was compelled to crawl
under the bunk and sleep on the ground,
couch above. This action on the part of the
military authorities seems to have been de-
cidedly severe, and much unfavorable COM
ment was excited when the facts concerning
the prisoners treatment was known" This
is not only unjust but indecent, and the Sec
Rotary of War should see that Mason is kindly
treated. The impulse under which he fired
that shot finds a response in the hearts of a

A Knowing Dog.

Ethel is never tired of talking about
her dog Flash. One of his accomplish
ments. she tells me. is his graceful way
of setting the table.
When it is time for Flash to have bis
dinner, his master says, "Flash, bring
the table cloth !"
OFF he runs to the newspaper rack,
gets q paper, and lays it at his master 8
feet. "Spread it out!" is the next
command.
Quickly he opens the paper to its full
extent, and places it on the floor care
fully. He waits patiently for the bones
that are to reward his obedience. When
they have been put on the clean
table-cloth," he begins his nice feast.
Dinner over, Flash picks up the paper
cloth and carries it out of the room for
the cook to burn.
Ethel says that Flash can tell time;
for at just such minute every day the
dog comes to his master, sits up
straight. with his front paws dropping
gracefully, and asks. in his dumb way,
tor something to eat. And when the
time comes for his master to go down
town to business, Flash is sure to give
him hint; for Flash is very punctual.
you see, and does not approve of delay.
One day Flash brought an intimate
friend, red setter, and introduced
him to his master. Flash stood, wag-
ging his tail, while the caller was po-
litely caressed. Then the two dogs
trotted off together, and Flash's play
mate had new name to put on his
visiting ist.-Nursery.

away. He misses his aim. Guiteau
lives on in prison; the President lies
stark and cold in the embrace of
death. and the soldier who sought
to kill Guiteau, is in prison,
where he is vastly worse treated than
Guiteau. Was there ever such an ag-
glomeration of denominations. The
President dead, Guiteau raving, law
yers discussing the possibilities of his
fate; and Mason, the soldier, subjected
to the severest treatment for attempt
ing to kill the wretch he was detailed to
guard all these denominations are
the OutgrOwth of Republicanism. What
monument! What colossal iniquity!
What combination of crime! What a
mass of corruption, rottenness, political
poison and putrefaction! And this is

er, the soldier crawling under his bunk,
sleeping on the ground to escape the
pelting storms. These are some of the
bricks in the monument erected by Re-
publicanism to perpetuate its memory
the memory of the ''God and NOR
ality'' party. What progress it has
made from the days Grants thieves Or
ganized the whisky ring to raise cor
ruption fund; from the days that
John Sherman bartered Federal Of
fees for perjury to seat Hayes
and organize usurpation. How grand
ly the aood-tide of Republican
crime has flowed on. Star-Route
thieves, Treasury thieves. Navy thieves,
War Department thieves, thieves ev-
erywhere; Dorsey, the notorious Star
Route thief and Secretary of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, in Indi-
ana with car loads of ''soap," organic
ing crime to carry the State for Porter;
bribery and perjury in New York to
beat Conkling. Now cap the climax,
finish up the job-put on the last orna-
mentation, the last finishing touch, to
this monument of Republicanism.
What shall it be? Grant laid its foun-
dations with violated constitutions and
broken laws. Every department of the
Government is represented in this
structure of denominations. 1t is about
completed. Guiteau, when from his
accursed throat came forth the declara-
ton: Il am Stalwart of the Stall
warts" blended with the murderous
report of his pistol, about completed
the work. The monument of Repub-
licanism-bleak, black and terrible as
was ever conjured up in the brain of a
mad man-incites the contemplation of
the world, and still the Republican
party asks for new lease of power. 1t
wants to build more monuments. We
conclude the people will require it to
stand aside. -I1aiGna State Sentinel.

Some species of the rhmoceros are
inclined to peace, and will rarely attack
man save in defense of their young or
their lives. while others, and more par
ticularly the keitloa, will attack man or
beast simply to crafty their love for
fighting. The lion never risks an en-
counter with the rhinoceros, save when
absolutely necessary for his own safety,
and it is but seldom the elephant cares
to measure strength with him. for the
larger animal is far less quick in his
movements than the smaller.
A celebrated African hunter once
witnessed battle between these huge
animals; but in this instance the inn
petuous rage of the rhinoceros proved
his downfall, for having driven his ter
rible horn up to the hilt into the car
cass of the elephant he was unable to
extract it. and the latter falling,
crushed the life out Of his assailant in
the descent. A traveller once saw a
fight between gigantic male elephant
and black rhinOceros, that was ended
by the flight of the former.
The rhinoceros of India is much bet
ter tempered than its African brothers,
and Bishop Heber says Of some which
he saw at Lucknow: These are quiet
and gentle animals. should
conceive that they might be available
to carry burdens as well as the ele-
phant, except that, as their pace is still
slower than his, their use could be only
applicable to very great weights and
very gentle travelling"
Nothing is definitely known as to the
average age of this animal. but it is
generally believed that the duration of
life of an Indian rhinoceros is hardly
less than a hundred years. --Harper's

An Ice Gorge In New Jersey.

Within an hours drive from Newton
may be witnessed one of the strangest
sights in this country-a perpetual ice
gorge. This gorge exists at the foot of
Blue Mountains, back of Swartswood
Lake and Vaudeville. and is but few
miles west of Newton. The gorge is
several hundreds yards in extent, from
ten to thirty feet deep, with numerous
caves and clefts in the rock where the
ice lies. The main gorge is located
but short distance from the mountain
and the shade at that spot is very
dense, the sun apparently never pene-
trating it. The entire bottom of the
gorge is covered with thick clear ice,
and the crevices and caves are filled
with it. That it is a natural ice-house
there can be no doubt; hundreds of
tons might be taken out without appre-
Gladly decreasing the quantity. Much
of this great mass has doubtless lain
there for years, the ice gradually melt
ing on top and being added to each
year. The thermometer. which, during
the recent drought and ..hot spell"
registered 1O3 degrees in Newton,
marked just 38 degrees at the same
time at the bottom of the gorge-too
cold for a person to remain there any
length of time. A few feet from one
end of the gorge a spring of the most
delicious, sparkling water bubbles up
through the ice. 1t tastes slightly Of
iron, and is very satisfying to the thirst.
This water stands at "a degrees-about
as cold as one could comfortably drink
it.
Samuel Thompson, who owns the
farm on which this natural curiosity has
been found, said when asked about the
gorge by a reporter: "Why, yes, l
s'pose it is rather remarkable. though
we never set no store by it 'cept when
we wanted ice. The neighbors all goes
there when they wants ice, and faint
necessary for t. build any ice houses
round here. Early in tn spring tn
gorge is filled clean to the top with
clear ice, but long in the summer it
gets melted down, but then they's
alters tons and tons O. ice thar an they
hez been since l kin remember. Ye
see, tn water runs down often tn
mountain inter that holler during tn
fall, and as they amt much outlet 1t
jest stays thar an freezes. s'pose
some o. tn ice in that thar cave has
been thar forever. The water in the
spring. though, is mighty good tastin',
and my wife sets great store by 1t,
cause she says it's powerful good fer
rheumatic. We hev knowed bout the
gorge fer years, but ez reckoned they
was plenty jest like it round the coun-
try never said much about tn Of
thing. Yes, they hez been a good many
people round here t. see tn spring this
summer, but mostly city chaps that was
boardin' over t. Newton, an come out
Jest t. see tn sight" Mr.. Thompson
has been offered large sums Of money
by enterprising capitalists for the
gorge, but declines to sell, as he is
wealthy, and thinks the property is
worth just as much to him as it would
be to some one else.-Phiiadelphia
