TENNESSEE DOGS.
What Judge Gnrdenshire, of
Carthage, Thinks About
Them.

Smith County PrOgress.l
From reliable sources we are in
formed that Tennessee probably now
has 300,0 dogs. The food for each
dog, if fed to a hog, would make him
weigh 300 pounds. The food, then,
fed to 300, 900 dogs would make 80, 000,-
900 pounds. of pork net, This at pres,
ent prices IS worth S5,400000 This
would build 10, 800 schoolhouses, worth
each $500, or employ ZOO competent
teachers at salary Of $1,000 each, and
would build 5400 schoolhousesl This,
if fed to the people, would furnish an
abundance of meat for 100000 peonle.
A few years ago we noticed that $500, :
900 was distributed for common
schools.
We pay s., 100000 to sustain myr-
lads OF worthless whelps, and $780,
600 to educate our children; we pay
50 for the benefit of our children.
Which do we love best? l9 g
We have in the State in round num-
bers one hundred counties This enor
nous sum, if not used in feeding ours,
but saved to the counties, would
give to each county $500, or $40 to

But for these savage brutes, the
United States could produce all TIE
wool and mutton which they nee6 or

tries, and paid for wool, the enormous
sum OF one thousand two hundred and
fifty million dollars, and actually sent
out of the country, last year, fifty. eight
million dollars for thatIparchase. But
for vicious dogs, the people could save
these vast sums; but for them, mill

in FIVE years that item alone would pay

Ambitious and i'll advised young
women have, from time to time, laid
violent bands on Hamlet, and have
come thereby to various stages ofgrief.
They believed that they had a special
vocation for it; that they were tile
receptacles of a genius that would,
when the occasion came, illumine
Shakspeare's lines as they had never
been illumiued before, and that they
had but to try, and wealth aud glory
were at their feet. To. all of these
dreams there have been rude awaken
ings. That Miss Dickinson has as yet
undergone any shock is not to be be-
lieyed, but in her case it is more diff.
6cult than in any that has preceded it

ever make such an attempt. II is
doubtful if a person more painfully
and conspicuously unfit to give even q
commonplace reading Of Hamlet
could be found possessed Of the moral
courage to 90 before an audience and
do it. Utterly unframed and IMMERSED
in the stage, hopelesSly welded to,
aud confirmed in, the weakest and

cities would derive more immediate
benefit from it than any other people.
The citizens ofNashvilIe see it in It's
proper light, and therefore, as q rule,
use every endeavor to hasten the end.
1t is true enough we would all have
preferred more favorable terms, and
accordingly used all our influence to
get so A accepted. which is more than
the LEDGER can say, but the people
of Tennessee outnumbered the citizens
of Nashville, and these in its favor,

5O.4, that day is past, and the
chance for that settlement is for
ever gone, and now, if che Su-
preme Court fastens 1908 on US, We
contend it will be far better for the
State to pay it, than plunge once more
into the demoralizing State debt and
its unsettling perplexities. We were
willing to accept 5O'4, believing the
creditors were willing to take it,
though some of them at that timeere.
fused to say 80, and we believe it would
be even better for the future of Ten
nessee to pay 1905, than force the
creditors to abate one cent unwilling
ly. Some of our people repudiate the
word Reputation vehemently, and
contend they are not Of that faith. To
escape the ignominy of the word the
Virginians call themselves Readjust-
ers, and our people call themselves
low tax, but we cannot escape the def
milton Of reputation by these high
flown evasions. For look at it in any
light we may, every cent we force the
creditors to abate of the debt is that
far a Republication, and can be called
nothing else. 1t may be said the three
per cent yielded is because they know
theycsnnot get anything else, and this
might be called by the same term, but
let that be as it may, they have
given it whether oheerfully or
not, which relieves those who
pay it from any reproaeh. 1t
is understood the creditors were will
ing to take 6O-6 or 100 3, at the option
of the State, but the State credit party
seeing it amounted TO nearly the same
thing, preferred the latter settlement
for its effect on the credit of the State.
Be that as it may, the citizens OF
Memphis are more certainly affected
by settlement favorable to the cred
itors than any other locality, because
mo-e foreign capital and population
would pour into that growing city
than in any other place in the State,
and, considering this one fact, it
should hasten to purge itseltot any
of the injurious imputations Of repu-
diation, and come into the line OF
State credit support. No man can
justly estimate the immediate good
effects to Memphis. There are many
persons welding large capital who
desire to settle there, as it affords a
fine opportunity for launching into
manufactures, ana such a stream of
population as they would attract,
would make them awaken to their
advantages. They will doubtless see
the good effects of settlement of our
finances in case the Supreme Court
decides in favor of paying, and grace
fully yield their assent and thus in
augurate an era of prosperity.

Covington CALL
A few days ago Mr. Isaac Walden,
a well to do farmer living near Ripley
Miss, came to Covington in search Of
his son, w. c. Walden, a young man
nineteen years old, stating that he had
left home about the middle of Decem.
Der with Mrs. Margaret Jones, wife of
tenant on his farm. He had traced
them in this direction. He was afraid
his son would marry the woman and
thus become liable TO indictment for
bigamy, and he came prepared to spend
thousand dollars to find him and
take him back home, his mother be-
ing nearly distracted about the matter.
After several days search they were
found at Mr.. William Peller's, in
District No. 3, six miles west of town,
living together as man and wife-she
having been engaged to cook and he
as field hand. They agreed to 90 to
Mississippi without having any trouble
about it, and Mr.. Walden left for
home last Saturday.
Three boys left Ripley with Mrs.
Jones, one turned back after short
journey, but the other two walked all
the way with her to this county.
Young Walden represented him
self as her husband and the other
youth of seventeen, named Jesse
Deberry, passed as her brother. Mrs.
Jones is good looking young woman
about twenty years old, aud left two
children at home for the husband to
care for.

Mr.. Musgrove, of Pennsylvania, has

for bill in Congress providing that
all volunteer commissioned and nom
commissioned officers, musicians and
privates, who served three years in
the army during the rebellion, aud
their children, shall receive one hun.
dred and sixty acres of the public
lands. 1t seems ungracious to object to
any Legislation which is proIessedly In
the interest OF the veterans Of the
war; but this bill is so suspicious in
character that it should not be passed
without a thorough understanding OF
its meaning. Under existing statutes
those who served in the rebellion are
granted one hundred and sixty acres
on much more favorable terms than
settlers on the domain under the
Homestead act. The Musgrove meas
ure, however, goes further. 1t does
not provide TOR settlement at all. 1t en-.
acts that patents shall be issued anc
that the holders shall have the righl

WASHINGTON, January z6.-Iu the
matter of Presidential recognition in
the Southern States, the President is
giving the cold shoulder to the old
crowd, which, for the past twelve
years, has run the alleged Southern
Republican party in several States.
He docs not give them any encourage
ment On the contrary, he tells
them that they must give way
to other men, who may DO some.
thing where the old crowd have failed.
The colored brother who has been tile
most prominent in Republicanism in
the South is especially given to under
stand that his day is over. There was
quite a scene the other day between
the President and one of the colored
Southern Republican leaders. The
leader was Pledger. Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee
OF Georgia Ever since the war Pied
ger has been a sort Of tail holder to
the party in Georgia; he wss accorded
private interview by the President.
He told the President that there was
good chance for the pa. ty now in
Georgia if everything was we'll man
aged.
What would you suggest" asked
the President.
Pledger then began TO parcel out the
Offices in Georgia To suit himself.
by this plan" Interrupted the
President, can you elect a Senator in
place of Hill; can you defeat either
Hill or OolQuitt2"
Pledger said that he did not think
it could be done.
"That'sjust it," said the President,
you people have had your trial; you
have accomplished nothing. The way
was pointed out to you in Virginia,
but you would not follow. You must
give place to other men. You have
done nothing, and you deserve no
further recognition as party managers.
There are other people who say they
can do something, and they talk
like men ofbusiness. They will have
the recognition Of the administration" "
The men to whom the President has
iDtrusted the future of the Republican
party are General Longstreet, Mr.. At
kins, formerly Collector of the Port of
Savannah, and one or two others, in
Guiding Mr.. Emory Speer. General
Longstreet has developed into regu.
lar politician. He is manipulating
things for Republicanism in Georgia
with the zeal he used TO fghton the
Confederate side. His plan, in which
no has the Presidents support, is not
to put a single Republican on the
State ticket; to give the nomination to
the young and dissatisfied Democrats
and Independents" The Arthur
! Longstreet combination has com
mencsd operations against the "Bour-
bons Of Georgia"
Itshould be stated that right after
his interview with Arthur, Pledger
! checked himself in his candidacy for
the Postmastership at Athens, Ca, a
place which pays about $500 a year,
and went in TO get the Surveyorship OF
the Port Of Atlanta, which pays but

Special to Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, January 25.-One
witness who has been before the Sen.
ate investigation committee was there
in regard to horse transaction. The
facts developed showed that ex Score.
tary Sherman dealt little in horses.
Mr.. Sherman had horse which. for
some reason, he wanted to sell. Per-
haps it was such good horse that he
wanted the government to have it. In
making the sale Sherman was not
openly the seller. He got a clerk in
the Treasury Department, a man
named Ferguson, to negotiate the
horse with Pitney. OF course there
was not any trouble about sale being
effected VIXEN Boss Sherman was the
man who wanted to dispose of the
animal. The horse was paid for out
Of the contingent fund, and, in con-
sideration of $l65, became the prop
erty of the Treasury Department
Ferguson, before the committee, adj
mitted that these were the facts, but
said that the horse was really worth
the $l65 paid for him"

Solar Observations on Mount
Whitney.

The Penn Monthly for February
contains outlines Of the highly inter-
esting observations on the suns heat
conducted last summer on Mount
Whitney by Professor Langley. These
experiments, made with a new instru-
ment, the bolometer, nearly thirteen
thousand feet above sea level, demon
strated at least that the temperature
Of our globe could never rise even to
zero under a tropical sun without its
envelope of ali"
The result will clash with the pre-
vsiling notion as to the amount of heat
radiated by the sun through inter
planetary space on our sphere. "Our
atmosphere, letting some radiations
pass through more freely than others,
must change" says Professor Langley,
mot only the amount bat the quality

finally reaches US, anil in reaching us
gives the sun its white appearance,
But for this "selective absorption" Of
the earth s aerial envelope, in which
its element of aqueous yapor plays SO
important part, it would seem from
the Mount Whitney experiments that
we should ordinarily see a "blue
sun. The solar rays pass through
pure dry air with but little absorption,
and direct laboratory experiment
has shown that dry air is almost as
permeable to heat rays as a vacuum.
The value, therefore, Of solar obser-
vations made above sea level is due to
the fact that a mountain OF only
5000 feet altitude forms a dividing
barrier for one-half Of the yapor in
the atmosphere. At Professor Lang

ley's station about three-fourths Of
the aqueous vapors must have been
left beneath the observers feet, so
that the results will probably give
pretty close approximations to the
actual thermal valnes of the suns
radiation in our ATTITUDES.
These researches, which were car
ried out partly under the auspices Of
the Signal Service, are as important
as they are interesting. One conclu-
sion reached by Professor Langley
from his late mountain work is that
thcwhole of the causes which pro-
duce varying climate, and their minor
changes on which agriculture depends,
are, it seems probable, to be restudied
hereafter in view of this selective alb
sorption, which | cannot but think
enc of the most important keys to
what is obscure in the great problems
Of which the practical meteorologist
is seeking the solution in the interest
of national welfare"
In the paper we have referred to
Professor Langley has given but the
barest notice Of his valuable observa-
tions. 1t is to be hoped that when
fully collated they will be given wide
publicity.
