A Dog Stops g Runaway Horse.


A horse attached to cart becoming un-
manageable on upper Church street Wedn-
esday, started of on q run, leaving the
owner sitting III the road where be had
fallen when the animal started. The horse
was healing down the street named and
putting Oh more steam with every bound
that he made, until the corner of George
street was reached. Here q large New
foundland dog suddenly appeared in the
road and rushed toward the horses head.
The dog made repeated efforts to grasp the
bride in his1nouth, each time falling heay-
lily to the road and narrowly escaping in
jury from the horses feet. But he at last
made an extraordinary spring in the air,
and, grasping the brldle firmly In bis teeth,
pulled the horses head down and put a
stopto the runaway. We could not learn
the name Of the owner Of the horse. The
dog having done remarkable service dis
appeared in the direction Of George street.
Eye-Witnesses state that it was one Of the
most intelligent acts ofa dumb beast that
they had ever seen.-Neao- Bru9sswick N.

How the California Republicans
Regard Ef1gy Sargent.

Sargent was made Senator by the in-
tluence Of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. That is one Of the most inso-
lent, arrogant, corrupt, and corrupting
corporations in the United States. and In
this State it is hated by the people with al
intensity indeacribable. He aided this
corporation in 1875 in its project to divide
and defeat the Republican party and
elect a Democratic Governor and State
ticket. lie knew when he was rendering
this service to the railway that the cor
poration managers had promised the Gov
ernorship and the United States Senator
ship to the Democrats IS q reward for SER
vices rendered il helping to defeat q bill
to regulate fares and freiehts in the in
terest OF the public. But this knowledge
did not deter him from serving such
master. There is hardly scandalous
thing that tainted any session of Congress
while Sargent was q member of either
House in which his name was not mixed.
He voted with the back-salary grabbers.

bilier gang. He was In favor of giving
Goat Island to the railway, and was burn
ed in ed}gy for his persistence in that out
rage. He was repudiated by the Republi-
cans Of his own county, and could not now
be elected to any office in it. OF all men
who have at any time been prominent in
the party in this State, he is now the most
unpopular. TO single out such man for
the high position Of chief of the most i'm
portant department. of the Government
would be an insult to the intelligence of
the party here, and move in the direction
ofits defeat at the next election. II this
State cannot produce any better candidate
for Cabinet office than All open advocate
of polygamy, Of land monopoly, and Of
corporation insolence, then let the Presi-
dent seek elsewhere for his Secretaries and
advisers.

Marry for Loye-Work for Riches.


A young man rarely saves much money
until he marries; says the Chicago inter-
Ocean. The false notions of life and the
desire for style in dress, and the efforts to
move in stony society,"" which seems to
have such power over young people, are
grievous evils of our period. Look in any
city and any community for the leading
men of business, of the professions, or of
the arts, and find where they are from.
Did they f'have So, 900 cash and an Income
of 81 800 or more ?'' It is safe to say that
nine-tenths Of them were married in COM
parative poverty, and had only the broad,
firm foundation of their own brains and
energies for future prosperity laid to start
upon. when man has his profession or
business or art well In mind and hand, if
he is sober and reasonably discreet he has
every reason to believe in future success,
and has Alright to ask some good girl to
share his fortune and help him earn the
prize Of the future. The thousands of good
girls in every community are ready and
capable of just such aid. The general
prosperity of the entire country makes the
opening year, 1882, a good period to begin
life. To ''marry for love and work for
riches" is q good maxim for young people
to bear in mind. @

Oil on the Troubled Waters.

Perhaps at no point on the east. coast OF
Scotland do the waves come rolling in more
turiously in stormy weather than at Peter
head. Situated as it is on the most easterly
promontory, it is fully exposed to the Ger
man Ocean. AS far back as the days OF
Earl Mariscal it was found necessary ssto
build ane bulwark at the mouth Of the
haveno there, and since then many i'm
provements have been effected with a view
to the safety and convenience Of the craft
which during the fishing season in the
north sail out from the harbors, there to
reap the harvest Of the sea. Is But Of all the
attempts made in this direction the latest
is in every respect the most extraordinary.
It consists simply of Throwing oil on the
troubled Waters.' The idea is not alto
getller new one, but so far as we are
aware it has never received that attention
which it would seem to deserve. Mr..
Shields, Perth gentleman; Mr.. Armit,
submarine and wreck engineer, Broughty
Ferry, and Mr.. Yean1an, one of the late
members Of Parliament for Dundee, are,
however, now determined to thoroughly
test it's efficacy. The experiments are to
be carried out at the bar Of the northern
sharbor OF PeterIlead. Here d wooden
building has been erected on the quay
wall, in which tank with the oil and a
force-pump will be placed. From this
tank the oil will be conveyed by iron pipes
to deep Water--a distance of some two
hundred yards-and thence in a gutta-
pereha pipe across the harbor entrance.
The piping win be kept stationary by
heavy blocks of metal, and it will be per-
forated and fitted at intel vals with ssroses"
to permit Of the oil being properly dis
tributed. From the pipe the oil will be
forced blythe pump, and will rise to the
surface of the water, and form film; and
while it is not expected that by this means
the volume of the waves may be very
much lessei1ed, it is believed that the wind
will be prevented from breaking their
crests, which it seems is one Of the great
dangers TO WhieFl small crafts are exposed.
Should the experiments be rendered with
any degree of success the same thing could
be done IN 4 variety q. .',1circumstanees -

A Legal Thief.

JACKSON, Mich, JAN, 3l.-The $12,-
900 worth Of silk stolen from Camp Mer-
rlIl and the camp at jackson last Wednes-

office of j. NJ. Welch, a lawyer, situated a

fellow named Thomas, who had an office
with Welch, sold three pieces of silk last
Saturday at Albion, which were identified.
This set the officers to work and they
captured the goods. Thomas has fed.

be exported from this country as the re-

markets is yariously estimated at from five

fit in the exporting market, which is equi-
Yalent TO saying that gold is the cheapest
commodity we can ship.

Once upon q time, and not SO very
long ago, there was another class
that took the lead and represented
the big dog with the brass collar.
This class were the Killers, and all
the honor and glory and good things
fell to them. Why, even the buyer

were OF little esteem in those days,
and Killer would think nothing Of
cutting off Jay Gould's beard just
for fun. But the world moves and
the age is progressive. II Darwin

must be the embodiment OF the wis
dom OF the nineteenth century. Let
him be called common carrier no
longer, but let him be exalted to the
high place to which his massive in.

now direful thought fits across our
breast. Suppose, some time A, the

Who can estimate the awful result?
It would be as If God had stopped
