Like all other journals, the State and the
Dispatch receive much good advice. Most
OF our advisers, however, are inclined TO
the opinion that we have not said enough
concerning the outrage committed by
CAMERON, FAIR, and BLAIR upon the white
people OF Virginia when they appointed
two negroes trustees OF the public schools
Of Richmond. The Winchester Times, an
excellent paper and whose Democracy is as
sound as a gold dollar, takes the other side
OF the question, and says:
"Om esteemed contemporaries lthe
State and the Dispatch have no doubt
been led by the ardor OF discussion into
expressions which they would not endorse
m their cool moments. Certainly many OF
them cannot be taken as representing tue
ideas and wishes OF the Democratic party
OF this State. The Democratic party does
not wish to draw the color line, Tor II IL
only in an unhealthy state OF the BODY
polite that the differences OF complexion
become political issues. 1t Is the Malone
| ties who are drawing the color line by per-
suading the negroes that they are the natu-
! raj enemies OF the whites. Some OF the
utferances of our contemporaries seem to
us, therefore. unadvlsed and likely to cause
misapprehension OF our motives and policy
outside OF Virginia. We therefore hope
that we will have rest on the negro-trus-
tee business for some time to come"

1t affords us pleasure to be able to say to
the Petersburg Index-Appedl that we can
endorse the following, which is its formu-
lated creed as to question now before the
public of Virginia:
"When the white man or the negro has
been appointed by competent power or
elected 10y majority OF the people, II ell
gib,e under the laws, he has right TO
qualify, and all resolves and decisions to
the contrary, coming no matter from what
race. are impotent, and, so far as they in
terfere with the discharge OF his duties,
illegal"
That is a mere abstract proposition, true
as it stands, but liable to be misunderstood.
We add chat whilst every negro thus APP
pointed or elected to Office "has the right
to quail y" the whites have the right to
resolve that they will vote against the mel
who conferred upon him that "right."

Biting off Tails.

At least one-half, and possibly more,
of the cruelty inflicted in England on
dumb animals arises much less.from a
deliberate intention to cause physical
suffering than from sheer ignorance;
and it is, consequently, desirable to give
the widest possible publicity to cases in
which stupid adherence to barbarous
custom has brought persons within the
province of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to. Animals. s On
Saturday, at the Croydon Petty Ses-
sions, young man appeared to sum-
mons issued at the instance of the of
fieers of the Society, charging him with
cruelty ill-treating dogs by biting off
their tails. The defendant pleaded
guilty. 1t was shown that the dogs
nialtreated were two terrier puppies six
weeks old, and their caudal appendages
had been bitten off at about an inch
and half from the tip. A veterinary
surgeon was of opinion that the pup
pies would suffer an acute irritating
pain until the wounds made by the
bites were healed. This anguish they
might endure during some twenty-four
hours. The witness. it is stated, adj
mitted that the dogs would not be worth
anything unless their tails were taken
off, and added that the practice of so
removing them was cruel, but uni
versal one. That, however, is only an
individual expression of opinion. A.
very distinguished authority on dogs,
Sir Edwin Landseer, publicly declared
that it was not only cruel but useless
and pernieious to crop either the ears or
the tails of dogs. In the Croydon case
the defendant was fined ten shillings
and seventeen shillings cost; and we are
quite willing to believe that he was not
actuated by the slightest intention of
cruelty in mutilating his two terrier
puppies He only complied with an
old and savage custom, corresponding
to the barbaric practice, now happily
fading out of use, of docking the tails of
horses to within very short distance
from the root Ladies in Rotten Row,
seventy years since, used to ride horses
whose tails were locked to degree of
exiguity which, at the present day.
would be thought not only cruel but
ridiculous. Equally inhuman with the
practice of docking horses and cropping
dogs is that of biting off the tails of
young lambs-a process not unfre-
quently resorted to BY shepherds in some
parts of the kingdom at this season of
the year. London TeEeqYdJh.

low stature, but broad-chested and mus
cular, with a large, massive head. still

grasp indicates good deal. of physical
Vlgor. Though now blind, he still

JOES "NO.n


Yesterday out of my window
Ileaned, and CHANGED to hear
Two boys as they plotted mischief,
Not thinking was near.
" We must have Joe to help u.s.
One of the plotters said;
" He's as good as a dozen for helping,
Whenever there's fun ahead
AS they stood there talking together
About the work to be done,
If they carried out the mischief
They called by the name of fun,
Up the street we heard a whistle,
And knew that Joe was nigh
By the sound of his merry music
Like the blackbirds in the rye.
We've just been talking about you'll"
The boys cried out to Joe;
We've planned the jolliest frolic,
And we count on you, you know"
IS It depends on what's to be done, boys,
As to whether help" said he;
" If it's fun, and only fun, you know
You can always count on me-"
They told him what their plans were;
He gravely shook his head.
" couldn't help with that, boys,
For it wouldn't be right" he said.
Perhaps you call it only fun,
But you know it isn't So
And though they urged, they urged In vain
For he firmly answered: mol"
Twas proud of the boy with courage
To stand up for the right;
He was as much a hero
As those who battles fight.

A Wild Girl Of the Mountains.

On the northern slope of South Mount
ain, in Millcreek township, Lebanon
County, lives family, among whom is
a girl resembling a wild woman and
who is kept more like beast than a
human being. The family consists of
but three persons, the father, a son and
the girl in question. They occupy an
old log hut, which is nearly ready to
tumble down. The girls mother died
when she was child and the poor
creature has had no one to train her.
Her mind has always been weak and
she was neglected entirely in every
way. She has not been inside a school
room in all her life; she can not read or
write. She is very shy of strangers.
When she, sees person approaching
her she disappears in the bushes and
rocks on the mountain. In the spring.
it is said, her father eompels her to 90
out on the hill with flock of turkeys
which she has so trained that they fol
low her through the thickets and woods
from morning until night Kind neigh
bors have several times attempted
to catch the girl when she
was out with the turkeys and
care Tor ner. but all to no purpose.
She runs at the sight of person and
disappears, with the fowls at her heels.
Wheat bread, the neighbors say, is un-
known to the creature; that her princi-
pal diet was corn-dodgers and a sort of
paste made of dried rye -four. Her
father generally acts in the capacity of
cook and baker. Her dress consists of
old rags, which are tied about her body.
Some time ago one of the fleighbors
took compassion on her and made a new
calico dress, which was probably the
only one the girl has worn for several
years. Headwear and shoes are un-
known to her in her rambles through
the rough woods and mountains. She
has long auburn hair, which she wears
hanging down over her shoulders. The
household affairs of the wretched fam
lily are said to be very primitive. Stories
OF a most outrageous character have
been circulated about this family. Its
stated by good authority that number
of citizens win cali the attention of the
proper officials to this family and have
the matter refnedied. -fHitadetphsa
