a SENSIBLE SUGGEsTIoN-It has been
wisely said that there are two sides to every
question. The subject Of sheep and dogs
has elected many suggestions and attracted
the attention oflegislators. One class are
constantly calling for a Wholesale destruc-
ton of the canine race, whilst another class
cling with unrcaxing tenacity to the most
worthless of mongrel dogs. The golden
mean between these two extremes is found
in the advice given by correspondent of
the Connecticut Farmer to "improve your
dogs" This course will prevent any clash
betweca-Aits> two classes. The proposition
Of levying a tax upon dogs does not necessa
rily remedy the evil complained of-for
mean dogs will not refrain from killing sheep
because they are registered and their own.

cent in order to reach tho guilty.
Few men are so blinded by prejudice
that they will not admit that some dogs are
useful, good aud valuab o. Tho best course
then is to gradually get rid of all mongrel
breeds, substituting for them improved
breeds. The end sought for can be reached
quicker this way than by any other.
We believe that sheep,husbandry should
be encouraged in every possible manner
But xa'ie asking protselpn from the law

Several men were discussing this ques-
tion in grocery store one evening recently.
A man who owns large flock of Dorkings
remarked, 'Not even an act of Congress can

KILLING BY ExPLOsIvEs.-The is
causctcr unpleasant but fascinating thought
IN the progress of modern science in means
Tor destroying human life and property
Electricity, dynamite end nitro glycerinc
arc becoming more familiar and more gen.
erall7 available every year, and tac time is
probably not far distant when the means o.
secretly and safely killing enemies and des.
troying cities will be at the command of
every man who can obtain few dollars
Can any government exist while its forts
and fleet arc at the mercy Of any diaffec-
ted subject who is reckless enough to curry
a few pounds dynamite in his coat pocket 1?
Further, is any private individual safe
while every enemy holds his life in his
power with au electric battery, few pounds
OF wire aud few cents worth of nitro.gly.
ccrine and common earth?
The days Of violent killing aud open
wars seem destined to be at an end forever
The rifle that kills iu an instant at half a
mile is to be discarded as clumsy, expensive
and cumbersome, and we will kill scientifi-
cally with wire laid under or on the
grouhd and an explosive that can be hidden
in tiny vial with strength enough to des-
troy he strongest buildings To-day the
most powerful and dcspotic governments
arc poweress against few score desperate
men, and London is guarded as it has never
been since the old wars, against dozen
lrishmen. How far will science lead us in
the art of destruction? What inventions
will be brought forth to surpass the dyna.
mite bomb and the electric torpedo as far
as they surpass the battle axe aud javclin !?
When the horrible art is perfect, will all
nations abstain from war because war will
mean universal destruction, or will the
human race cxterminatc all of its govern
ments, and finally itself, with its own awful
inventions, pitilessly applied by public
hatreds and private feuds?
There is no dream too wild for the
possibilities of developed and trained human
intellect. Fifty years ago we did not think
it possible that one man could carry a tor
pedo with which he cold destroy the capital
at Washington by spark governed hun
dred miles away. Fifty years hence there
may be something at the command of hu-
man hands that Will uproot or depopulats
islands, mountains or even continents by
the touch Of key thousand miles distant,
or enable one man to destroy au army.
1t would be grim poetic justice if man
should become SO wise in the art of dos
troying life that he would cause all life Oh
our globe to cease. - GreenUiWe Ne,os.

A NOVEL SURGICAL OpERArroN.-Bos :
ton, April 20 The operation which is
expected to cave the life of Gen Joshua l..
Chamberlain, president of Bowdoin College
was one of the most novel and daring in the
history of surgery. For somo months Gen
Chamberlain has been suffering from serious
complications resulting from wound re-
ceivcd during tho war, when ball passed
through his body from hip to hip. A diff
cult operation at the hands of DR.. Joseph
IL. Warron, President Lincoln's physician,
saved his life at that time but recent,
abscess in the abdominal cavity was followed
by sloughing away of about two inches
of the urethal canal. Natural healing was
impossible, aud it was decided to attem pit
the unprecedented feat Of building up the
missing section with trausplanted flesh. DR..
Warren, with Ia assistants, performed the
operation yesterday afternoon The process
occupied two hours, during which time he
patient remained uudcr the influence of
anasthctics. The abdomen was laid opcn
and slowly, bit by BIZ, the living flesh was
cut from not vital parts and sewed into place
in the shape of the missing organ Iufam-
nation was guarded against by constant
stream of antiseptic spray upon the Internal
organs, and finally, after many careful stitch
es had been taken in the internal construc-
ton, the outward opening was closed and
the operation was successfully completed.
The patient rallied better than was expected
and to-day he has slept considerably, aud
the fever has not been as severe as was
feared would result. 1t is expected that
the mechanical union of transplanted tissue
will become vitalized, and if no nlishap
occurs all danger will be passed in week or
ten days.

THE VANISHED CHOIR.

Once more. after years. in the quaint old church
To the choir ben. my ear;
But vainly through it made listening search
For the voices once held so lear.
No lack Of mclodous art was there,
Still grand were the chords ofpraise,
Yet / missed with pang the familiar air
OF the choir Of my boyhoods days.
The sweet, pure flood Of my sisters voice.
or my brothers., full toned and clear,
And of yet q dearer, whose accents choice
Made my pulses stir TO hear;
And of friend and neghbor, each quite distinct,
In the symphony-Where were they?
Gone, vanished and mute-a chain dislihked-
An accord that had died away.
l mourned their loss, and then vague and din
Grew the notes Of the later choir;
And there seemed TO swell on the air hymn

Second. Let one person supervise the
whole operation. This person will send an
assistant III haste for the salt, another for
vial of laudanum, while he himself will
expose the wounded limb and take one of
the patieut's garments aud make 'lndage
for the limb and apply as above .ected.-
BY this time the two assistants arrive, and
with the salt he proceeds as above. The
other assistant is directed to administer a
full dose of laudanum, forty drops for an
adult, and if this is not sufficient in due
time to contract the pupil and to produce
other indications that the patient is under
the influence of the opiate, let the dose be
repeated. In tn, execution of this there
must not be moments time lost.
To show that this treatment is perfectly
rational ard highly judicious, it is sufficient
to say that when hams, are saltcd, the salt
draws the water and blood out of the
hams uuites with them and forms brine.
Every one who has cured his own meat
knows that the brine surrounding the
hams residue is bloody. BY a chemical
combination between the salt and the
water Of the blood the latter has been
decomposed and its coloring matter, with
other ingredients, driven out The blood
has lost its Inherent power of acting as a
recipient of any virus, while the salt, over
and above this chemical action, is known to
be powerful antiseptic.

ton, and let it be so widely published that
every home in the land may procure a copy
of it. If this plan OF treatment had been
known in time it might have been the

DEFENDANT DoRsEY's FAITHFUL WIFE.
Washington, April 1G.-The.e arc two
features of the star route trial which at once
arrest the attention Of the observing visitor
to the court room. One is the jury. which
has listened patiently and uncomplainingly
for nineteen long weeks to mass of tangled
and contradictory testimony and to the
wranglngs of opposing lawyers. The 9TH
CT is two beautiful women, who, day after
day, watch the proceedings with an intense
eagcrness that reveals to every one present
the deep interest they feel in the result.
One Of these ladies is the wife of Stephen
w. Dorsey, the chief Of the defendants.
The other is the widow of Peck, who was
one Of the defendants. They are sisters.
They were born and grew to womanhood
in Arkansas, and there Dorsey and Peck
married them. They are young, shapely
and sweet faced. They are pronounced
brunettes, aud their clear complcxions,
beautiful teeth and great, kindly dark eyes
would win them respectful admiration any
where. Mrs. Dorsey is the more intense
in her expression Of interest. Her, glance
scarcely leaves the face of the witness dur
ing the sitting Of the Court. She never
seems wcaried, and pays no attention to
th coming and going of the crowd. Brave
ly, patiently, with tue Southern courage,
she is strengthening and supporting her
husband in his struggle fos what most men
hold dcarer than ifc-honor and good name
Whatever may be the fate Of her husband
the world will have nothing but sympathy
and admiration for her.
