A lawsuit about a FIVE dollar dog

Mr.. Palmer passed the summer Of

him his dog, which had been prop

be refused to pay, on the ground
that the Boston license legalizsd the

Ger my life the mlstS, uncertain,
Spread their dark and dreary curtain,
On my heart they fall in sadness and my
lot seems hard to bear,
And my future bears no sunlight,
Not a single ray, nor one bright
Joy to make my life worth living. All is
sorrow and despair.
I had struggled hard and often,
LIES hard pathway but to soften,
Make its foothold better, surer, that its bat
ties might be few.
But despair had crowned me truly,
Everything seemed wrong, unruly,
Till my good wife solved the problem
open'd up my life anew.
John" said she, Ego out to morrow,
Drop that surly look of sorrow,

Hoping trusting, better hearted,
GOu nau DTtdlHeu upon Illc SlduoNh lay luB
long upon my heart,
And stepped into the door,
OF the wondrous Poets Store,
Looking like a crystal palace, or busy
London mart
Like the charge at Balaklava,
Clerks came saying: "Will you have a
Basket filled with choice cabbages coffee

Currants, sauces, or tomatoes,

Before l could scarcely mutter,
That | only wished some butter,
Customers had crowded by me, passing in

And stood like one amazed,
While around looked and gazed
At the many, many things they had in
store.
Here was Armour's famous meat,
Canned and ready just to eat,
Beef tongue, tripe, and many other kinds
that's nice,
Roasted cofees, and fine teas,
Boston beans, and syrups, sugars, grits and
rice,
Toys for the little ones

Cigars. cigarettes and pipes, ginger, CHINA

And IN summers heat, I'm told,
Just to keep you nice and cold,
They always keep bountiful supply OF ice.
But like Sheba's queen of old,
Halt they had have not told,

Half their names | can't recall, -
OF the fish and fruits, and all,

And they make their business tally.
For there are no ledks but ally"
And of such leak as that they never will

For with Pitner, there, and Daniel,
Their many goods to handle,
There is no firm that can ever excel Leake

private enterprise to do Aud this raid and
seizure illustrates another thing, and that is
that Congress did a very silly and indefen-
sible act in reducing the charge for carry
ing a letter from San Francisco to New
York and then delivering it to the party
addressed for two cents, while it left the
charge for carrying a drop letter from Wall
street to the Gilsey House at the same old
figure of two cents. Anything more insane
or ridiculous was never done by Congress.
1t is not pleasant to see n great bully like
the Government, beaten in its own
chosen and pet field of operations, resorting
to the strong arm Of the law to crush out
competition. 1t is said there is no monopoly
like Government monopoly, and here we
have an example of the truthfulness of the
saying. The business men Of New York
want better service and cheaper than
the Postofflce Department gives them, but
the Government steps in aud denies them
the right to have it. And having the Army
and the Navy at its back, the business men
must succumb.

Drawings For thc pr,zes.

The steamer John W. Thompson carried
about $50 persons down the river yesterday
morning. The party embraced many Of
the leading members of the Washington
Light Infantry Corps, prominent NOR
chants and representatives of tho press.
Among the former class were all the parties
chosen to supervise the drawing of prizes,
and after the boat had passed tho District
limits the judges got to work preparing for
The drawing. The steamer went about
ffty-fve miles down the river, and from
the time she left the wharf the passengers
enjoyed themselves greatly.
When the return trip commenced, at 2 r..
M, the prize-drawing also began, and two
metallic cylinders were produced and one
filled with disks numbered from | to $50
to correspond with the tickets sold and the
other contained 500 numbers to represent
the prizes. A number was drawn stimuli
taneously from each cylinder. During the
drawing the steamer stopped at White
House Landing, and number of the passen-
gers went ashore
The lucky tickets for the first six prizes
were as follows: No. 4,921 drew the first
present, n solid silver tea service, valued at
$1,000; No. 1,260 drew the grand upright
Emerson piano, valued at 500; No. 1902
drew the third present, a pair Of solitaire
diamond earrings; No. Gals drew the
fourth present, side-bar top buggy No.
1855 drew the fifth present, gold watch
and chain; No. 1879 drew the sixth pres
ent, cylinder desk. The holder of the
first prize ticket was Mr.. Sellhousen, a
Seventh-street clerk, and the second prize
was Mr. j. NJ. G, Wallach, No. 1922 Indiana

ing the demands of England for the extra
dition of Sheridan and the others who
have been indicted. The demand may not
have been made, but it will be, and the an
swer should be ready at moments notice,

Judge Walker, of Virginia, gave to the
Critic to-day the following incidents of a
visit of his to the Capital during the war,
1t appears that he also made visit to
Boston, and here is the story just as the
Judge told it:
found myself during the little I'M
pleasantness between the North and South
in the clutches of the Yanks. How and
under what circumstances it is needless to
say. Suffice it that when 1 arrived in
the city of Washington / was assigned
quarters at the United States HOTEL at
that time one of the most popular houses
in the city, specially for Southern
visitors who had occasion to visit
found the hotel to be popular one, but
little crowded. The fare was plain, but
substantial, and served in my private
apartments. The hotel was situated on
Capitol Hill, and fronted the Capitol of the
United States. Every attention possible
was extended TO me. My quarters were Sc
cured by iron bars as preventive against
burglars, and my person was even guarded
by armed men. Such attention had neyer
been shown me before, and felt my conse-
quence.
After spending few days at the Capt.
tai concluded to extend my visit further
North, as found / could travel at the ex-
pense of the Government. Having good
opportunity of seeing the Hub l con-
cluded to visit that city. In company with
some other comrades, Just arrived from
JEFF Davis dominions, we left the city, es-
corted by squad of soldiers ostensibly to
protect us if necessary from any imaginary
danger, but really to show us all the cour-
tesy and attention our honored persons de-
manded.
Upon our arrival at Boston, we were
quartered at Fort Warren-a Government
hotel, exclusively for distinguished guests.
We found there Messrs. Mason and Slidell,
ex-Senators, and then on their route to
Europe-one as minister to England aud
the other to France, from Mr.. JEFF Davis
confederacy I but owing to severe storms
on the sea- they had to put into Boston
harbor for protection. Among the many
places of note l visited in Boston and
Its surroundings after my release,
was Bunker Hill Monument. This monu-
ment and surroundings is characteristic
Of the Yankee people. The monument is
tall, plain shaft, inclosed with a small iron
railing with scarcely room enough for
person to pass around between the monu-
ment and the railing. Among other notable
places visited was the home of Longfel-
low in Cambridge. 1t was plain old
fashioned house, which had been built before
the Revolution. found Mr. Longfellow
plain, nnassuming man, fair complexion,
benevolent face, with full suit Of
hair almost as white as snow.
We dined with him, and was as
much honored and respected as if we had
been prominent officers of the United States
Government instead of humble officers in
the army of General Robert Lee / shall
ever remember with pleasure the kindness
of Mr.. Longfellow upon that occasion. 1t
showed the kindness of his heart that he
could entertain man in his own home
who was regarded as Rebel and at war
with his Government

THAT "broker" must have taken the Re.
publican "Avenue Man" for a greeny to have
filled him up with that story of Blaine
rushing about on Change in frenzy of
excitement, &c. When it is known that
Mr. Blaine is not a member of the Stock
Exchange, and that none but members can
rush about in frenzed excitement or other
wise, the reader will conclude that the
aforesaid broker" is "curb-stono" one
without any curb upon his imagination
which is usually the case with that kind of
broker.

UNLESS the Administration has lost all
the backbone it ever possessed Sheridan,
Walsh and lyman (if the latter is really in
this country will never be surrendered at
the command Of the British. There is a
precedent against it. The Russian Nihilist
Hartmann was charged with completely in
the murder of the late Gar. He was not
delivered up. The public sentiment of this
country was against it. And that sentiment
will be an hundred fold intensified in the
case of the Irishmen.
The Evening critic., 1883-05-05

THE CRITIC believes in the enforcement
of the laws. There is no use burdening the
statute-book with them unless it is the in
tention to enforce them. Now, there is a
law which says that certain things may
and may not be done on Sunday. Nobody
has right to disturb the quiet of the Sab
bath, and the police as a rule so enforce the
law that ordinarily our Sabbaths are very
quiet. But there is one police practice
which would be far more honored In the
preach than in the observance.
Everybody knows that there is law
which says that drinking saloons shall be
closed on Sunday. No class understand
this law better than the saloon keeners
themselves, as is evidenced by the precau-
tlons they take to guard against
surprise and the intrusion of the
officers. Now this law, as we'll
as all others, should be enforced, But
If it is violated let the evidence be obtained
in fair and legitimate way as in any
other case. If row occurs in a saloon let
the police enter and arrest all parties. If
they have probable cause to believe that q
crime has been or will be committed at any
particular place every officer knows ex-
actly how he can go there openly and le-

The inability of the Government to com.

trated by the raid upon private express
companies in New York city. Twenty
thousand letters and packages, probably
part of one days receipts, were seized. 1t is
estimated that the loss to the New York
Postofice by competition from these COM
paIies amounted to one thousand dollars a
day. The deliveries were made to any part
OF the city at the uniform rate
