Dogs as Sentries.

people, onlearning that Russian sentries

thing. All harm to sentfies, and,
through their death or capture, to. the
force Of which they form part, comes
from enemies who approach stealthily;
the first shot is almost invariably fired
by the foeinstead of the guard. Against
an enemy on the sentinel, who must at
night strain his eyes in every direction,
is at a great disadvantage, whereas dog
lying near him, or in advance Of him,
would be quick to note any movement
in his neighborhood, and thus put the
soldier on the alert. In the United
States at the present time the dog might
not be of much service to the army, but
it is strange that bis peculiar faculties
are not appreciated by private indi-
sviduals who require a guard. a dog in
sidea house is worth two watchmen
, on the outside, for while the latter may
be bribed or surprised, the dog cannot
be reached, except by some one entering
the house, and before the same could be
done, the animal would have alarmed
those inside, and given them an opppor-
tunity 70 defend their own. A, lively

ASSASSINATION AS A POLITICAL.
FACTOR.

The good news concerning the Pres
idents improved physical condition is
reaching US in each telegram from the
national capital. All indications from
thefWhite House point to the recovery
Of President Garfield. I Every clean
minded person in this broad land
wisbekit to be so Only mental inn
beetles or creatures bad at heart hope to
see the: work of the would be assassin
successful, Many silly and many wicked
things have bene said and printed on
the deyilish work of the wretch Cult
teaq. And even attempts have been
made to get political capital cut Of this
sad affair. Conklingism, using newly
coined slang, has beenput at the bottom
Of the deed Of foul-hearted and crack
Drained ldventurer. Because muir
derous-minded wretch declared himself
. Stalwart, and with the wounded man
stir lying at his feet boasted of his
fendish act, We are told the deed was
the legitimate ontgrowth of the opposi-
ton of an element in the Republican
party to the so-called Presidential policy.
Are Stalwartism and Assassination syn
Onyms in the new political dictionary :?
Guitteau was at one time in fellowship
with the Oneida Community, and later
was member of the Young Mems
Christian Association of Chicago. Are
we to believe that the teachings and
practices of the Oneida Neyes and the
lessons taught by the young Christians
of Chicago are part of the educational
system by which Guitteau was worked
up to the assassinating point? Chris
tianity would revolt at such an idea,
and Oneida free-lovism, bad as it is, has
never stopped to murder or apologize
FOR murder. Again, we ere told that
Guitteau helped break the unit rule at
Chicago, and we all know this was an
anti-Grant movement. It was in the
interest of Blaine, or Sherman, or Win
dom, the field, so to speak, against
Grant. 1t was the old political battle
cry: "Anything to beat Grant" We
have heard of no opponent Of the unit
rule claiming that the lately attempted
assassination was an outgrowth of unit
rule breaking, and yet Guitteau has
been in Washington City for months
past demanding Office at the hanCs of
President Garfield. We all fervently
hope for the speedy recovery of the
President, and we believe he will join
in the general condemnation of the |
wicked efforts made to manufacture pO-
litical capital out of the dastardly at
tempt on his life.

James Parton has powerful article
in the current number of the North
american RerieW on 1.-The Power of
Public Plumber" which is deserving
the perusal of every patriotic citizen.
In it he shows that the country ex-
poets to secure the best available talent
for the highest Offices at salaries so
small, that none except rich men can
afford to take them, SO that wealth and
not brains is coming to be the ruling
power. From making terms with leg
islators, capital now finds it cheaper to
put men into the legislature, to govern
them by the lobby, to elevate various
local bosses and precarious clerks to
places in municipal governments, which
it was once the reward of a virtuous
life time to possess, in order to manage
their huge enterprises, and through
these local causes to manipulate the
primaries and thus gain control Of the
public business, municipal, State and
national. The remedy for these evils,
Mr.. Parton contends, is to take the
public business ont Of politics, a proper
revenue out the paying of the market
price tor all kinds of labor employed.
Then, he says, ':we shall have public
service that will cease to be lowering
influence in politics, and add one more
liberal profession to the resources and
hopes of virtuous families"

The FIRE originated among a quantity OF
waste in the cellar of the building, which
was occupied by the Western Electric
Manufacturing Company as Q manufaC-
tory, and rapidly gained headway and
spread to the first and second tloers. There
were about 100 men and over 80 women
employed in the building, and the greatest
wonder is that none were injured, as the
smoke was densely thick and sufoCating.
Most OF the men escaped by way Of one
flight OF stairs, the only means OF reaching
the street, excepting by the fire escape,
The flames reached these stairs and some
Of the men were slightly singed in dashing
down them, The girls were panic stricken.
All OF them wero employed on the top
floor, and the smoke was too dense TO
permit making exit by the stairs, but
a young man named Herbert, who
ran through the building giving the
alarm to his fellow workmen, came 10
their reacue and guided them to the fire
escape, extending from the root to the
first floor oL Church street on the front Of
the structure. Down these iron ladders
tho alarmed women climbed until they
reached the lower balcony OF the escape,
which was on level with the second floor,
and here the ladders ended, and one or

ment, a distance Of 10 feet, but were pre-.
vented by their moro Cool.headed com.
panions until couple of ladders were
placed against the balcony and the women
were all gotten TO the sidewalk safely.
One man, wko became imprisoned on the
upper floor and could not fight his way
through the smoke, threw open rear
window and called for aid. His call was
promptly responded to by three or four
other employees Of thel company, who,
finding their retreat by the stairway cut
oil, had sought safety on the roof.
Hastily gathering up length OF rubber
hose they dropped the end OF 1t to their
imprisoned companion, who fastened II |
about bis waist aud was lifted by them to |
the roof, from which they all made their
way down the dre escape. Within an
