A Fight with a Blood Hound.
New Haven Register.

S. z Merwin & Co. have kept a
young but large and powerful blood
hound in the Office of their packing
house on Crescent street. The animal
several times lately has shown symp-
toms of treacherous ferocity which the
Waterman has punished by throwing
hot water from the office kettle on the
dog. But one night, when the watch
man bad attempted to punish him, the
dog showed fight and drove the man
behind the desk railing, and kept him
imprisoned there for two hours. The
Waterman had a revolver in his pocket
but he was loath to shoot the animal,
because of the value set upon him by
the firm.
Charles II. Nichols, the book keep
er, had always treated the dog kindly.
Recently Mr.. Nichols fooled with the
dog about three o'clock in the after
noon, and then went to work at his
desk, and the dog fell asleep beside the
stove. Half an hour or so after Mr..
Nich.ls had occasion to fill the kettle
he touched the dog with his foot. The
dog looked up AZ him with his eyes
half shut, but on seeing the kettle in
his hands he growled viciously, and
sprang at the book-keeper'5 throat,
Mr.. Nichols dropped the kettle and
grabbed the dog by the throat. The
now excited beast bit at him right and
left, inhicting severe wounds on his
arm and shoulders. Mr.. Nichols fought
and defended himself at best be could,
but the dog penned him up behind the
stove, which was red hot.
After fully five minutes, James Far
rell, customer of Merwin's, came in,
Mr.. Farrell Immediately tailed upstairs
for help, and when an emplOye brought
in cleaver he snatched the weapon
and struck the dog over the nose, cut
ting it open. The dog turned
on him. Mr.. Farrell struck
at him again and again, cutting
off one OF the brute's legs. The
dog still jumped at his throat, and not
until his skull was split open did the
struggle cease. As soon rs the dog had
left Mr.. Nichols, that gentleman faint
ed with fright and exhaustion. Dr.
Dibble was sent for. He brought the
young man to consciousness and cautor-
ized the wounds. One of the arteries
of the left arm had been severed, and
it was only after much time that the
flow of blood was stopped. A bite IN
left wrist was fully an inch deep, anC
there were some twenty other bad
bites.

THE FARMERS WIFE.

In with the birds IN the early morning
The dew drop CLOVIS like precious gem;
Beautiful tints in the sky are dawning,
But she's never moment TO look at them.
The men are wanting their breakfast earlyi
She must not linger she must not wait,
For words that are sharp and looks that are
surly,
Are VIA. men give when meals are late.
Oh glorious colors the clouds are turning,
If she would but look over hill and trees,
But here are the dishes, and here is the churning
Bat those things always must yield TO these.
The world is filed With the wine OF beauty
IL she would but pause and drink It in
But pleasure she says must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed sin.
The day grows hot and her hands grow weary;
Oh. for an hour to cool her head.
Out with the birds and winds so CHEEKY,
But she must get dinner and bake the bread
The busy men in the bayfield, working,
If they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would think her lazy, and call IL Sinking
And she could never make them understand.
They do not know that the heart within her
Hungers tor beauty and things sublime;
They only know that they want their dinner
Plenty Of it aud i" just in time.
And after the sweeping and cburning and baking
And dinner dishes are all put by,
She sits and sews though her head rs aching
Till time for supper and chores draws nigh
Her boys at school must look like the others
She says as ghe patches their irocks and hose;
For the world is quick TO censure mother
For the least neglect Of children's clo.hes.
Her husband comes from the field Of labor
He gives no praise to his weary wife;
She's done no more than has her neighbor;
lis the lot OF all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life, ia done, and she lies at rest,
The nations brain and heart and muscle,
Her sons and daughters shall call ner 5lest.
And / think the sweetest joys of Heaven,
The rarCst bliss Of eternal life,
Aud tho fairest crown Of all win be given
INTO the way-worn farmers wife.

ment of the seen etsrv the interests of
the public require it. The committee
also crihci1es the action of the secre-
tary in giving James G. Brisbiu the
privilege OF putting a steam vessel for
carrying passengers on Yellowstone
lake. They fail to see upon what con
ditions or under what restrictions this
permit was given. 1t does not appear
that the party running the vessel is
under any restriction whatever, either
as to the capacity of the vessel, the ac-
commodations furnished, or the rates
charged. The report calls attention to
various official reports descriptive of
this region, and quotes from the journ-
al Of James T. Gregory, aid-de.camp to
Gen. Sheridan, and
THE REPORT OF SHERIDAN HIMSELF
in the summer of 1882 Gen. Sheridan
says he would like to see the govern
mcnt extend this park to the east as
far az north and south line through
Cedar mountain. TINS would be due
east about forty miles, at the same
time placing the southern boundry
at the 44.h parallel of latitude, it
would be due south ten miles. This
would increase the area Of the park g.
344 square miles. The report says
that it evident from these reports that
unless some measure is Immediately

mittee favor the extension as suggeted
by General Sheridan. If added to the
present area, the park will contain
some GOA square miles of mountain

globe. The report then explains the

Arsenic and the Complexion.

1t IS necessary to raise a warn-
ing cry against mischievous state
ments which has recently been circu-
lated, and has already done harm to
the effect that "arsenic in small doses
is good for the complexion" 1t is not
difficult to imagine the risks women
will incur to preserve or improve their
good looks. No more ingenious device
for recommending a drug can be hit
upon than that which the authors Of
the most baneful prescription of FAR
senic for the complexion" have adopt
ed. Suffice it is to recall the fact that
for many years past chemists and san
itarians have been laboring to discover
means of eliminating the arsenical
salts from the coloring matter of wall
papers and certain dyes once largely
used for certain articles of clothing.
1t is most unfortunate that this
hopelessly antsgonistic recommends
ton Of arsenic to improve the com
plexion should have found its way into
print. Those who employ the drug as
advised-and there are many either
already using it or contemplating the
rash act-wiH do so at their peril. So
far as they are able, however, it will be
the duty of medical men to warn the
public against this pernicious practice,
which is only too likely to be carried
on secretly. 1t is not without reasen
that we speak thus pointedly and urge
practitioners to be on the quivive II
anomalous or obscure cases.

Sleening Flowers.

Almost all flowers sleep during the
night. The marigold goes to sleep with
the sun, and with him rises weeping
Many plants are so sensitive that they
close their leaves during the passage of
cloud. The daudelion opens at five
or six in the morning and shuts at nine
in the evening. The goats beard wakes
at three in the morning, and shuts at
five or six IN the evening. The COM
mon daisy shuts mp its blossoms in the
evening, aud opens up its days ege'
to meet the early beams Of the morn

others close their blossoms at differ
eut hours towards the evening. The
ivy leaved lettuce opens AZ eight in the

and often watched them during their
quiet slumbers Those plants that

VEST KEpoRIs ms BIIL.

Senator Vest has reported his Vel
lowstone park bin. Itproyides for the
most stringent protection of game ami
mails, birds, and fish, and natural curl
osties, He proposes 20 unite the au-
thority of the war and interior depart
ments to carry ont the objects of the
bill. The rules for the protection Of
the preserve are to be made by the sec
rotary of the interior and the secretary
of war, to detail soldiers to watch for,
warn OH, orr cEpell persons violating
the act. The jurisdiction Of Gallatin
county, Mont ia extended over the
territory, to provide "a court before
which the offenders may be brought ON
information. There are penalties at
tachod for killing game involving a fine
aud imprisonment ANY persons
found with dead animals or birds in
their possession are to be considered as
responsible for their destruction. Ex-
press and transportation companies are
also forbidden to accept or carry any
animals or birds which they might
reasonably believe were taken from the
park. He proposes to to extend the
limits of the park ten miles south and
forty miles east % a line running north
and south through Cedar Mountain.
VESTS REPORT.
The report made by Vest to accom-.
pauy the bin alludes TO the contract be
tween the secretary OF the interior and
certain parties for the erection of hotels
etc. Ii is not understood that the ro-
port denies the right Of the secretary
30 make the contract, but it condemns
that part off, which gives to the COM
pany exclusive privileges. By the terms
of the lease, no one without permission
of the lessess could camp with.
in one mile Of the principal points of
interest in the park. The committee
are Of the opinion that the monopoly
feature in the contract and lease should
be stricken out. and no contract should
pc executed which does not reserve
the Iigh, to permit other hotels to be
erected within the park, if in the Judge
