The Northern Man South.

A very thoughtful and observant North
ern man travelling in the South has con-
tributed number of readable articles for
the Atlantic Monthly under the head of
''Studies in the South" The candor with
which he writes is such that one could
hardly detect by reading his articles on
which side of Mason and Dixon's line his
sympathies are. He speaks OF the negro
as a voter as follows: If a man who own
a hundred sheep could pin a ballot into
the wool of each. drive the flock to the
polls, and have the ballots accepted and
counted, the process would be voting
on the part of the sheep as truly as is the
carrying Of tickets to the ballot-box by
multitudes of these negroes the exercise
of the right Of suffrage on their part.
Their mental relation to the act of voting
differs little-from that Of sheep in the case
supposed. Many of the local Republican
politicians with whom I conversed said it
was not desirable to give these negroes any
political education or enlightenment, and
that if it were desirable it would not be
possible; that no means or effort could
ever give them an intelligence or Judgment
of their own regarding political matters.
''They will never know a thing about poll
tics, If you talk to them till doomsday,"
these men say. II we do not control them
the Democrats will; that's the long and
short OF the matter" I was everywhere
impressed by the fact that the Republican
politicians OF the South are much less
hopeful regarding the Improvement OF the
negroes, and their capabilities in the d.
rection Of the duties OF intelligent citizen
ship, than are the Democrats or "Bour-
boaS."

CANAVAN-ROPER.
The Former Vindicates Our Honor
ASsaiIed by the Latter.

ASSa1leu by the Latter.
The Chronicle tells how Captain Roper
of the AMER Head and Captain Canavan
Of Virginia fell afoul of each other in a
Demo-political discussion in San Francisco
last Friday night. The bold Britisher was
spelling for a quarrel, but as long as he
confined himself to denouncing the Re-
publican party all was we'll and the COM
pany drank with him in the most cordial
manner for a dozen rounds or so. When
the barkeeper filled the whisky bottle from
the jug for the third time, he launched out
in a TRADE against &c this bloody, blarsted
country, which was run by a pack Of
Yankees, whom English dogs would not
bite for fear of breaking their teeth"
Pete Hopkins Democrats murmured a lit
tie at this sally, but did not yet take active
reprisals. The matter grew more serious,
however, when Captain Roper included
the Democratic politicians into his cate
CORY of nominations; but when he threw
out some very vigorous hints about Irish
men and their superiors, the Cinnamon,
open war was at once declared. Matt Can
avan broke in with "now take that back,
you bald-headed son of q Queen Vic
Captain Roper expressed the hope that his
Satanic Majesty might swallow him if he
shouted the irate Virginisn, and before
anybody had time to interfere, Captain
Roper's rubicund visage was brought in
contact with Caravans cane. Nothing
further resulted from the little m%isunder-
standing. Canavan was satisfied, and
Roper, calling a hack, was rolled away to
his ship.

THOSE ~LOODHOUND \
of what Kind They Area sketch
of Their History

of Their History.
There has been a good deal of street
talk, as might be expected. about the
bloodhounds that take part in the per-
Torrance of "Uncle Toms Cabin" Right
now you can find forty men on Main street
ready to bet that they are not blood
hounds at all. You will encounter others
who get much excited in insisting that
they are just the sort of dogs they used to
tree RUNAWAY niggers' with in Louisiana.
Dur reporter heard a man who was reared
in that State say that Rails hounds are
just like many he used to see at home.
You will, however, hear three out of four
men from that section say that the Rial
dogs, though they may be bloodhounds,
are very different from the Southern
bloodhound. The truth Of it is, they are
Siberian bloodhounds, imported from
those inhospitable regions, where they are
used to hunt down fugitive prisoners.
They are very different looking from
the Southern bloodhound, the latter
being a much smaller and more slender
dog. The Southern bloodhound is q cross
between the fox hound and the Cuban
bloodhound. From the former he derives
his strong scent and from the latter his
extraordinary courage and spirit. There
is nc doubt that Fritz, Satan, Captain and
Hero, Rails dogs, are genuine blood
hounds. That they are used in the place
of Southern bloodhounds is not consistent
with the story of Uncle Toms Cabin; but
are bigger and fiercer and more terrible
looking and are used in the drama for the
sensational effect they produce. Fritz
weighs 145 pounds. Satan 1873, Captain
1913 and Hero 100. Rial was offered 81 900
for Fritz in Philadelphia last year, but re.
fused the price. Satan, when eight months
old, was put on the track of a boy in
Peoria, ILL.,, who had escaped from the
House of Correction. The keeper, it
seems, had no idea of what the young
brute would do, and sent him out just to
see if he would take a scent. Satan, not
inaptly named, hunted down the runaway
boy and literally chewed him up and cut
his throat before those who were following
his trail arrived upon the scene Of the
struggle.

ASYLUM DANCE.
The Insane Patients Enjoy the
WaltZ-Am Interesting Party.

WaitZ-An rarity.
Saturday evening, says the Reno Gazette,
DR.. Dawson called about so of the insane
patients into the large recreation room on
the second tioor of the Asylum building
to try the effect a dance would have on
them. Alex. Case, one Of the attendants,
and a patient furnished good music. Asa
Dawson, acting as floor director, assisted
by the male attendants and Mrs. Walker,
the matron, Miss Maud Crawford and
Mrs. Egar. They formed twelve couple
OF cranks on the floor for a plain quadrille.
During the dance the patients acted well
and seemed to enjoy it. After the quad
rifle q polka was called INC heartily en-
joyed by the unfortunates as we'll as the
few visitors present. An Italian, one of
the worst cases in the building, invited a
little German woman to join him in the
polka. He seemed to be anxious to waltz,
while his partner thought q polka or schot-
tische would be the correct thing, and away
they went, one dancing a waltz Tor as near
a waltz as a~nything) while the other en-
deavored first to polka and then to schot-
tlsche, neither of them paying the slightest
attention to the music or time. There
were 81 male and IA female patients in the
room and, with two exceptions, the party
was enjoyed exceedingly. A Mrs. Duffy,
who had been confined at Stockton with
her hands strapped since 1874, was one of
the number, and a woman who was kept
bound hand and foot while at Stockton
was also present. One man who was
closely congned and strapped hand and
foot while under the care of the Nevada
contractors was in the hall. The three
patients referred to show one of two things
either that DR.. Dawson's treatment is
doing them much good and that they are
rapidly recovering, or that DR.. Clark was
crimiually cruel and incompetent in his
treatment of Nevada's insane.

81 900" Mr.. Klein refused to pay the de-
mand and suit was brought at once in tho
Storey County District Court by the filing
of q complaint on the Sth OF July. Mir.
Klein was served with a and e
oopy Of the complaint day before yester-
day, and it appears that the ground upon
which damages to the amour of 81 900 is
claimed is the payment Of that sum to
Messrs. Lewis & Deal as attorneys employ
ed to defend those officials in taking $780,
600 from the School Fund under the Act
of the Legislature of 1881, with which to
build the Insane Asylum at Reno. The
alleged excuse for paying this sum to
Lewis & Deal is that Attorney-General
Murphy was not at home to defend the
suit and that it was necessary for the best
interests of the State to employ those
attorneys. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Deal is one of the Commissioners for
the erection of a building for the care of
the Nevada insane, under the same Act.
The other Commissioners consist of the
Governor, Controller, Treasurer, Lieuten-
ant-Governor Adams and G. W. Hutlaker
of Washoe County. 1t is said that the
suit against Klein is brought upon the
unanimous concurrence of the Board. The
suit will reopen the whole history of the
building of the Asylum, and the use of
the irreducible School Fund for that pur-
D0an.

Several weeks ago, when Jay Gould was
In Little Rock, he was visited by astrange-
looking, oddly-dressed man. "Mr. Could"
said the visitor, twill you be generous
enough to give me ten minutes Of your
time?'' Eyes" said the millionaire, in a
dry, last-year sort of voice. Tel minutes,
thank you, sir; write the check" What
check?" said the millionaire, in a kind
of last-month voice. "Perhaps I'd better
explain. A noted mathematician has
calculated your income to be one dollar
a second. With you, of curse, time is
money, face value. Now, you have given
me ten minutes, amounting, you see, to
5000. Have you got the money about
you, or will you give me a check?" The
millionaire looked at the man in silence.
I'll do the fair thing. Make it five humid
red. Hanged if 1 don't be easy with you.
Make it four-blame it, sir, say W. humid
red" Mr.. Gould looked long and in
quiringly at the man, but didn't smile.

The Outlook of Bristol.

The Times says that Bristol is certainly
not dead, as the life everywhere visible in
Main street proves. From time to time
during the week two faro games have been
running, while at no time was there less
than one under full sail. There are eight
saloons in the place, all of which appear
to do a fair business. Poker and stud
games are often started and large amounts
lost and won. The restaurants ply good
trades aud the stores have customers con-
tinually in attendance. Though every
body can't get work, the majority have
something to do, and the people in the
town are pretty well satisfied. However.
this Is no plsce for miners in search Of
work as the supply is equal to the demand
and they will further their own interests
by remaining where they are. The run
ming of the furnace has given new life to
our little camp, and it is the earnest wish
of all that a long and steady run be made.

The Chinese have long been in the habit
of printing '~sleeye editions" of the classics
to assist candidates at the competitive ex-

GENTLY r~etentive. A similar benevolent
idea has lately induced a native merchant
at Shanghai to print a diamond edition Of
the "P'ei wan yum FOO" one Of the largest
lexicons in the language, consisting OF LOG
books. That it might BIO small enough to
be easily hidden in the candidates sleeves,

to print it in so small a type that the editor
announces in his advertisement that he will
supply a magnifying glass to each purchas'
