The Irish Question.
THE THUNDBRKR sCoLDS AMERICA FOR IT'S rOLER-
ANCE OF DYNAMITE FENIANs.
LONDON, July A-The Times In an editorial ar
ticle says: 1.-The license that American criminal
law allows to dynamite projects is scandal and a
shame to American legislation. A more enormous
scandal is the attitude which public opinion in
America assumes toward them. Never was there
body OF naGional opinion so fnquiStive and keen
which could have shown itself more feeble and
inert in defence Of public morality than the opin-
lon In America since the dynamite school became
notorious. Americans must determine Ii they Will
continue to be subject to this reproach."
ANOTHER MOVE OF THE HOME RULERS.
Mr.. Parnell and other home rule members Of
parliament have formed a committee to organize
public movement In Ireland with a view to coun-
teracting the operations OF the land corporation.
Mr.. Davitt has consented to cooperate in the
scheme, which will be discussed at the forthcom-

The War ON the Dogs
THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST UNTAGGED CANNES OPENED
TO-DAY

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST UNTAGGED CANNES OPENED
TO-DAY
Poundmaster Einstein this morning commenced
the war upon the dogs or this District. He started
out with four aids and the single horse wagon
made by the McDermott Bros last year for this
service. new outflt OF nets for catching them
has also been made, and several new appliances
for securing and handling these animals by which
dog nndS himself inside the wagon before he can
give yep
HOW THE BOYS DEFEAT THE LAW.
One great difficulty encountered by the dog
catcherS is the habit all the bad boys have OF run
ming after the wagon and holloaing to the top OF
their voices to let the neighbarhooiS through
which the wagon passes know that the pound
man IS about This has the effect of frightening
the dogs into their hiding places, and the owners
mails.
KNOWING DOGS
Mr.. EtnStein says the dogs know just as well
when the pound wagon is about as the boys do.
Many OF them have been heretofore chased by the
pound men with nets in their hands: some OF
them have been caught and released, and nearly
all the dogs in the District know the pound men
ana Try every means to avoid them.
In the year 1872, there were but 3T5 dogs i'm
pounded; In 1873 there were 1oSl; 1874 250; 1873,
22i6; 1876. 1900: 1877. 1885, 1875 2ss 1879. 1856;
pounded since the service was FIRST inaugurated II
Is thought there Will be a greater harvest this
year than ever before, as there are so many dogs
kept ana SO Few taxes paid on them.
ONLY TwENTY-SEvEN TO-DAY.
To-day but q dogs were captured. The wagon
left the seventh precinct station at o'clock, but
the dogs left out were exceedingly scarce. Most
OF the owners had been notified through THE
STAR on Saturday last that the season would open
Iay n SO Enat they were rather scarce t9oaay
about the warning, and it is only q question OF
few days when he will have most OF the ami
morning, and before IL O'Clock three dogs had been
redeemed BY their owners and the tax paid.

This is pen picture of the modern
New York damsel by writer on the
wonderfully "made up" What is being
pinned on in front is hair. That dye
going on under the eye is more eye
lash. That paint on the cheek is more
bloom of health. The armor going
over the waste is more shape. No man
with any work to do could endure one
of these things on hot day. But she
can, yet she belongs to the weaker
sex" The gown or gowns she wears
fetter her stride by two or three inches.
She may only take two-afour cent
steps, when she might just as well take
three cent steps. Now she buckles her
self tightly in her armor. That is for
fear she might fall to pieces on the side
walk. The last aids to nature are the
shoes. The: feet are first melted,
then poured into them, and lastly stuck
up on two stills behind called heels.
Now she is ready for a walking match
or any other kind Of exercise. Per-
chance this is the wife or daughter of
the doctor who tells other women they
mustn't lace so tightly. Can he cure
tight lacing or sh0eing in his own
camp? Oh, no. There is no prescrip-
ton in all the pharmacopias put to-
gether which can cure it when it so
RACES in the doctors own family. There
is only one dress worn without the cor
sets or French heels. 1t is shroud.
St. Landry democrat., 1882-08-05
Marshes and Malaria.

The opinion formerly so prevalent,
that malaria exists only, or chiefly, in
marshy soil appears to be successfully
combated by Prof. Tommassi, who cites
as evidence not only the Campagna Of
Rome is not really marshy, but that,
speaking roughly, two thirds of the ma
laria- stricken districts of Italy are stu
ated on heights. He refers to the we'll
known fact, that somtimes the surface
Of these districts is completely dry dur
ing the summer, but the production of
maliria in them goes on just the same,
provided they are kept moist below the
surface by special conditions of the sub
soil, and the air can reach the moist
strata by pores or crevices in the sur
face. The investigations made by NJ.
Tommassi and others further show,
that the direct action of the oxygen of
the air is so necessary to the develop
ment of the microscopic plant to which
the malaria is due, that the most
pestilential marshes become innoccu-
GUS when the soil is completely covered
by water; pavements, buildings and
the like may act in the same way, and
arrest the development of the plant by
cutting off the necessary supply OF Oxy-
gen-but if, even after the lapse Of
years or of centuries, communication
with the outer air is restored, while 9TH
er conditions remained the same, the
soil RECEIVERS its noxious properties.
