MOURNING FOR A DOG.

There has been sorrow for two days
among the children who play beside
the sea at Monmouth Beach, and the
adults in the many pretty cottages
there share the little ones grief. On
Saturday dog named Gunner, while
driving cattle, was gored by Il bull and
fatally injured.
Many years ago some fishermen dis
covered on the beach one morning n
large water spaniel with n dead child
tied upon his back. The dog had un-
loubtedly swan ashore from a wreck
He was given tho name of Gunner, and
soon became a great favorite among
the fishermen in the neighboring viii
lage Of GnlIIee. When summer cot
tases were erected along that part of
! the New Jersey beach Gunner visited
them frequently and became welcome
visitor. He seemed to have no partic-
ular home, but went from one kitchen
door to another for his food. He recog-
niZes no one owner, but his friendliness
confesses allegiance to every cottager
or fisherman at Monmouth Beach.
He was the constant companion of
children, and evidently regarded him
self as their special guardian. lie
rasnbled on the beach with them, and
accompanied them in their more dis
tant walks. 1t was his delight TO jump
in the surf and swim around the bath
ers, or dash after blocks Of wood
thrown out into the waves. lie saved
several lives. Gunner had many of
tho noble traits of the st. Bernard
dogs, which he resenbied in appear
ance.-N \. SIN.
The writer has often seen the dog
Gunner here alluded to and for days
and weeks together has watched his
careful attendance on the children ut
Beach when they would
bathe in the surf. When the children
would go to the beach Gunner would
always he on hand, would take his
position ut the edge Of the water, and
nothing could distract his attention
whilst n child remained in the sea.
The stories told of his Eeats of strength
were numerous and almost Incredible.
He was nohody's dog; but everybody's
friend. He visited the different cot.
.tages regularly aud w,s kindly caret,
for everywhere. Such n dog ut slch "A
place was Invaluable, and this one will
be long remembered by thousands who
knew his worth.

far from Toledo. The objects is to en-
brace both sides of the river, thus secur-
ing to the road the finest timbered sec.
tions in the United States.
The New Orleans Democrat OF late
date contained the following interest
ing items:
Judge Hiram II. Steele, with the ex-
perts from New York, passed through
our city yesterday, after IL trip over
the proposed ronte of the Nntchez,
Red River and Texas railroad. The
journey was made in wagons, and all
parties expressed themselves as highly
pleased at the country through which
the road is to pass and the facilities
available to build the line. The ex.
perts were loud in their praises Of the
route and the advantages which would
accrue 10 the State from its building.
ing. Judge Steele, with tho gentle
men accompanying him, left last even
ing for New York to place the bonds
of the new road.
The Louisiana branch Of tho the Iron
Mountain railroad, formerly called
tho Camden branch, is being pushed
half miles of track have already been
laid, the gangs laying ut the rate of
one mile per day. The object Of the
Iron Mountain company is to push this
branch through as rapidly as possible,
so they may secure the cotton trade the
coming fall. It is thought that in time
to come this will bo one of tho main
lines of the Iron Mountain road, so as
to have IL direct route from st. Louis to
New Orleans, and according to the
present understanding, this road will
leave Camden five miles to the left
1t is proposed to push the work rapidly
through to tho Louisiana line, aud in
its course will penetrate, not only a
rich agricultural region, but some of
the finest timber lands in the State.

For the benefit of our readers, some
OF whom have INDUCED in that decoc-
ton known rs TOlu-Rock and Rye,
for the sake of occurring that cough"
we clip the following special from the
! New Orleans Democrat:
ago the internal revenue discovered
that socalled medicinal preparation
put upon the market by u Chicago firm
and called Toiu Rock and Rye, really
contained about a spoonful Of tolu to the
barrel Of cheap whisky, and in that
form was extensively consumed. espec-
tally in the Southern and Western
States. Ten sample gauges at the treas
nry department showing an entirely
different article, Commissioner leaum
revoked his certificate and the firm
was brought TO grief. Henry Lawrence
and Maurice Martin, of Chicago, are
now represented here by lawyer
from that city, who seeks to induce
the commissioner to give them another
trial for fair dealing with tho de.
partmcnt and the public. Tho COM
missiOner's certificate that their pre-
paration is medicinal would not lessen
the amount of tax the manufacturers
would have to pay, but without it
druggists and other retailers would be
obliged to pay liquor license. Be-
sides, If officially certified ~ medicinal,
it could I've sold in States having pro-
hibitory or stringent liquor laws.
Lawrence 4 Martin do not appear to
have a very fiattering prospect for the
success of their appeal to Cnnnissioner
Raun, but it is understood that, if Sue
cessful, they are to ne backed in the
manufacture by Charles Rush, II we'll

Postmaster General James has, it is
said, devised n plan for sending small
sums of money through tho mails ut a
cheap rate. The device consists of =

punching out figures. Two .lenomina-
ton will be issued, one for all sums

moro than for fractional currency, for

the 81 10 card for two or three cents
premium, and tho 50 card for four Or
five cents premium, and will himself
punch out tho amount paid and the
buyer will simply incloae the card in
his letter, aud the receiver can cash it
At any office. Tho postmaster will

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
So far everything gives promise of
success to the Democracy in the fall
elections. In New York the Repnbli-
can party is hopelessly disrupted on
the Conkliug question. The admins
tration may being continue to shout to
keep up its courage, but in reality the
power and strength of the party of
moral ideas has departed, most pro-
badly never to return. When Mr..
Robinson shall have made his final
selections Of the many hundred govern
ment employees under his control
there will be at least double the num-
Der Of those appointed who will turn
in their wrath against the admins
tration wing, and will go back to Mr..
Conkling with renewed and enthusiast
tic devotion.
If the Democracy OF New York
does not make an universal sweep this
fall they will certainly, above all
other politicians on Gods earth, de-
serve the leather medal for blind and
infatuated stupidity.
In Ohio we have also the faireSt
chance Of success, and although the
election here does not have tho bearing
on national politics which distin-
cuisines that in New York yet it's re-
sult will be looked for with anxiety
and will have powerful influence in
giving encouragement to the party III
other States and in avoiding sc!isns
or division in its ranks.
When we come to Virginia, all true
lovers of good government must rejoice
at the late action OF the Democratic
party Of this grand old State. Threat
ened with a union and combination of
the Malone lceadjusters and the
straight-out Republicans, tho Democ-
racy had everything to fear as this
combination would bring into active
agency every element opposed to the
conservative power Of the State. But
with the admirable platform of Prin-
ciples adopted at their late convention,
and the happy selection they have
made in their candidates for State
officers, headed by John W. Daniels,
one of the strongest men in the State,
for governor, the ticket must be and il
invincible. Let the combination of
the NLahoneites aud Republicans he
what it may, we look forward conf
IDENTIFY to a glorious victory at the fall
election
And so again with Mississippi In
the heated personal contest prior to the
convention, we had every reason to
tear a total disruption of the party and
a consequent victory to the Republi
cans. Fortunately the convention as
sembled has accomplished its work
in Il manner satisfactory to the great
mass of the party and has in man
ner healed tho dissentions which
threatened Its future success. With
Gen. Robert Lowry, of Rankin, at the
head of the ticket as candidate for gov
ernor the Democracy of mississippi go
into the canvass with the assurance of
an overwhelming victory. The most
exciting feature OF the canvass will
turn upon the claims of Col. Lamar
and his opponents for United States
Senator, but in this contest there is
nothing to endanger the success of the
party.
Altogether the outlook Is exceeding
for the permanency aud
future active power of the Democratic
party both North and South

ENGLAND AND IRELAND
The Condition Of Ireland and Its
Relations to EnOi0nd.

A London dispatch says Sir Al
gernon Barthbark, proprietor of the
Morning Post, publishes comminica-
ton over his own nome on the condi-
ton of Ireland. He admits the pres
ent legislative union between Great
Britain and Ireland exists only i'm
name. He says the present land bill
is an attempt at compromise between
the social systems resting on pur-
poses and instincts totally distinct,
and it must naturally result in dis
appointment, mutual recrimination
and failure. The land league Is the
embodiment of normal ideas and so
cial prOclivities. Justice to Ireland
means in effect the withdrawal by
England from her intentions and her
hOped.fOr results of union In 1881,
viz, the creation Of homogeneous
nation ont of utterly discOrdant ele-
ments. 1t is now painfully apparent
that home rule in the. sO-called i'm.
pc, iai parliament is a standing pro-
test against there being a common
ground from which any common leg
islatiOn can proceed. When will
statesmen have influence enough and
Authority with their constituencies to
have facts and not wishes and asser-
lions, made the guide Of nations? In
the policy and groundwork of its
Legislation the Irish race is actuated
by race prOpensities and customs,
totally distinct from those of the
English. No union based on a com.
mon system of law and industrial
pursuits can possibly obtain between
them except by force on one side in
the absence Of concession to the rule

by the rebels. What other prece.

burn Columbia. The rebels fired it
before he got there, and it was the
Union forces who saved the place
