author of the letter denouncing the

TUE more we thought of the dis.
graceful doings of the Senators and
Congressman, who escorted the re.
mains of the lamented President to
their last resting place, and whose de-
bauch cost the Government 81, 700 for
champagne, brandy and cigars, be.
sides $500 for cocktails. the more SER
ious the scandal appeared, until the
thought was suggested that the partic-
ipators believed in the old Irish fash
ion of "wakes." and were only prac-
ticing their belief. They should have
done it at their own expense, but then,
the government only half pays them
for their services and is better able to
foot the bill than they.

Specie Kegs.

Gold crosses the ocean very much as does
every other kind of freight. The kegs in
which it is packed, "specie kegs" as they
are called, are made of extra hard wood.
They must have an extra iron hoop, and
their workmanship must be above the ordi-
nary. Specie is not thrown loosely into
keg, nor upon the other hand, it is carefully
wrapped in tissue paper and piled one coin
upon another The keg serves only as a
protection for canvas bags, into which the
gold is placed in the ordinary hit-and-miss
fashion of pennies in jersey farmers wal
let. The canvas of these bags is especially
stout, and the ends are sewed particularly
strong. Into each bag goes $4,000, and
ten bags fill each keg. So that each keg
which rolls out from the rear of the Bank
of America is worth the round sum of $50,
900, plus the cost of the cask itself and the
value of yard or two Of rough canvas. In
the interests of security, each keg is treated
to what is technically known among the
shippers as the 'red-taping" process. At
each end of the keg, in the projecting rims
of the slaves above the head, are bored
four holes at equi-distant intervals. A
piece of red tape is run through these holes,
crossing on the head of the keg, and the
ends finally meet in the centre. At the
point of meeting the tape is sealed to the
kegs head by hard wax bearing the stamp
of the shipper. Any meddling with the
keg must break the tape or wax, and SO on
the trip across the ocean it is an easy matter
to watch the valuable consignments and
detect any attempt to interfere with it

Bloodhounds in the Russian Army.

The Russians have strengthened their
army by the novel addition to each COM
pany Of pack of powerful and carefully
trained dogs. These watchful animals are
sent out with the sentinels on picket duty,
where their sharp ear and still keener scent
prove an impregnable barrier to the lurking
spies of the enemy. The dogs used are a
species of bloodhound from the Ural Noun
tains. The dog is selected because of its
habitual silence. 1t growls, but never
barks-a matter Of the first importance to
soldiers near an enemy's camp. The Ural
hound is gifted with an exceedingly fine
scent Of smell, keen ears, and is ever alert.
Most comforting of all to the lonely picket
the dog is said to be especially courageous
in defending its master. tits curious that
with the example of the King Charles
spaniels before us, no one thought before
of using these intelligent animals as senti
nels. The value of the plan is self-eyident
The Muscovites have gone further, and arr
training swift hounds as well as these same
Ural dogs, to act as dispatch bearers, mucl
as the carrier pigeons were employed il
1871. They certainly would be hard mes
sengers to catch, when stealing through th'
woods at night.-Bostom Post.

The Pleasures of the Pen.
BY REV. S. W. FIELD.

With all our enjoyment Of vocal commu-
nication, who that roams in the silent
thought-world, does not find the pen most
agreeable companion. 1t catches and re-
tains images of beauty, gems of truth, and
scenes of unspeakable delight. We have
often imagined what would be its substitute
in the world to come. The Scriptures speak
of those (which are written in the Lambs
book of life"
Next to that of the Gospel uttered by the
living voice, heaven must recognize the pen,
as the first great instrumentality, which has
contributed to fill it with redeemed and holy
spirits, and to magnify the grace and glory
Of God. Without it, where would be the
history of creation and redemption? How
could prophecy have permanency, or its
fulflment place? We are indebted to it
| for the Bible with all its priceless variety of
history, prophecy, gospel, church, ordinan-
ces, doctrines, promises lives, characters.
We cannot contemplate SO great power
and blessing apart from the joy those had
who welded it. To describe with it the
person, teachings and life of Christ, the glo-
ries of the cross and the triumphs of the
gospel, must have been attended with the
highest enjoyment the soul of man is capa-
BILE of feeling. To touch with it the eyes
of so many and make them see through it
the way to heaven and the glories thereof
to make all so plain, so vivid, and yet SO
sure and attainable, must be a joy deep,
broad, elevating, pure, such as no scientific
discoverer ever felt when penning the re-
suits of his calculations and experiments.
| The common saying is not only true,
"the pen is mightier than the sword, but
its victories bring greater joy. Il never
returns to the scabbard, for it has none; but
with ceaseless activity continues its work,
and will not rest till the world is conquered
for Christ and the full history of its victory
is written. And all along the line of its
work, as welded by ten thousand conse-
Grated hands, what joy fills their hearts as
they labor. When Judson completed the
translation of the Bible in the Burman Ian.
guage, he laid down his pen and rejoiced on
his knees in thanksgiving and praise. The
gospel leafet, the penny tract, the pungen'
sermon, the doctrinal essay, the volume Of
theology, the songs of the cross and Of grace
were all born in an agony Of joy. The per
was attendant at the couch of the mind IN
, its travail, and was laid down in bliss Of
tears. Hail, ye happy pen-workersi You

CURING BAD MEMORY mem
ory is bad, perhaps, but can tell you two
secrets that will cure the worst memory.
One-to read subject when strongly in
terested. The other is to not only read,
but think. When you have read para
graph or page, stop, close the book, and
try to remember the ideas on that page,
and not only recall them vaguely in your
mind, but put them into words and speak
them out. Faithfully follow these two
rules and you have the golden keys Of
knowledge. Beside inattentive reading
there are other things injurious to memory.
One is the habit of skimming over news
papers, all in a confused tumble, never to
be thought of again, thus cultivating a
habit of careless reading hard to break.
Another is the reading Of trashy novels.
Nothing is SO fatal to reading with profit
as the habit of running through story after
story and forgetting them as soon as read
know a gray haired woman, lifelong
lover Of books, who sadly declares that her
mind has been ruined by such reading

Under grey or q golden sky,

Whether with laughing joy 1 vent

A Dog Miser.

Instances of canine economy are by no
means rare; but the account of dog miser
is, so far as our records extend, unique.
Dandie, the animal referred to, was New
foundland dog, belonging to a gentleman
in Edinburgh. 1t frequently had money
given to it, because, besides other interest
ing signs of sagacity, it would go to the
bakers and buy its own bread. But Dan
die received more money than his needs
called for, and SO he took to boarding it.
This his master discovered in consequence
of the dog appearing one day with break
fast roll when it was known that no one
had given it any money. Suspicion arous-
ed search was made in the room where the
dog slept. Dandie appeared quite uncon-
cerned until his bed was approached, when
he seized the servant by her gown and tried
to drag her away, and became so violent
that his master had to hold him. Seven
pencehalf-penny was found hidden in the
bed. Dandie did not forego his saving
propensities even after this but he exhib
tied great dislike afterward for the ser
want who had discovered his hoard, and ii
the future was careful to select different
place of concealmert. Stories of dogs wht
carry money to shops in order to Obtain
food are quite numerous; but the following
incident, which was communicated to tn
Bristol Mercury, is, if authentic, probabl..
unparalleled even In canine records. a
Bristol dog was allowed by certain butch
nv. +r, rooa;va hia Tnnaf on tr4lsf the butch
er scoring each penny-worth supplied on
board with piece of chalk. One day ou
canine friend, observing the man make tw'
marks with the chalk instead of one, seize'
another piece of meat, and despite all tn
efforts of the butcher to detain him, raj
off home with both pieces in his mouth.

RAILROAD TINE TABLE.

Politically we are not interested in
the Republicans electing their candi-
dates to Office; but where they have a
clear majority, as they have in this
county, we cannot help but feel more
OF less interest that they shall elect
good and competent men to fill the
offices. Therefore, we hope, for the
sake of all the people of Bi0uut coun-
tv, without regard to politics, that our
Republican friends will elect their
best men, aud men that they know TO
be competent to fill the county Offices.
1t would be calamity on. the people
and the county, 10 have incompetent
persons elected to fill the Offices in this
county. If the matter was hunted
,up, the people would find that al the
.calamities that have befallen them
have resulted from the selection Of in,
competent men to fill! the county offices
Let us, then, beg our Republican
friends that where they have good
honest and competent man in Office
aud he wants 80 be reelected, by al
means elect him.
