IT may be impossible to secure gentle
men to act as dog g-catchers, but there is GER
tainly no excuse for the employment of
brutes in comparison to whom the dogs
they catch are angelic Take the follow
ing instance related by Mr.. Wood yester-
day:
One OF tho cases was au act OF cruelty COM
mltted by one Of the doG-catchers at the pound.
In his efforts 10 capture a terrier belonging to
a lady In South Washington, the dog-catcher
pulled 1t through an opening In the fence
much too small, by which the animal was ter
ribly lacerated. The man has been arrested,
and will be prosecuted In the Police Court.
If Judge Smell is severe enough this par
ticular brute may get his deserts, but he is
probably still employed and others like
him in the practice of cruelty.

THE New York World, speaking of the
Star-Route trial, says: "For this burlesque
on law and justice the dear people have

The World would have been far nearer

has been filched of at least q million dollars
by "this burlesque on law and iustice.n

THE New York World was in lachry-
NOSE state yesterday and bewailed the fate
ofseversl so-called reformers. Bristow, it
says. "who brought Babcock to giief has
been killed politically" and "James and
MacVeagh have been consigned by q Repub-
lican President to political oblivion"
To which the average man with decent
instincts will answer, Bristow killed him
self as ingrates generally do, and that
james and MacVeagh were couple of ours
who quickly returned to that oblivion
from which they should never have been
taken.
The World delights to call It the "Snivel-
Service REFORM" If it continues to weep
over the merited fate of such bastard re-
formers as Bristow, James and Macveagh it
may earn the title of "Sniveller." And to
think of "sDivelling" World!

IF THE organ voices the Administration
in its editorial this morning, headed "a
Dog Law Wanted, THE Critic wants to
know it. The lovers of mau's best friend
everywhere want to know. For its senti-
ments are cold-blooded aud atrocious,
utterly indefensible and most offensive.
The writer of it should be serenaded by all
the licensed dogs of the city six nights of
each week during the season and laid up
with good, big bite from the leader at the
close.
Probably the organ will open out on cats
next.
Well, there is this consolation, if the
organ doesn't know more about the late
Virginia elections than it does about dogs,
and if it is not more reliable in its political
sentiments than on the dog question, the
sooner the President gets new organ the
better. The old one squeaks.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune telegraphs as follows to
his paper:
WASHINGTON, June lit appears that the
Indictment against Ottman IS still ia force,
and that he is under bonds TO appear for trial
..HS'eA AoauitOus ~ 10 VI COufbo supposed
that the "compromise" made by two offIcers
OF the Department OF Justice in Ottman's be-
i nan contemplated the entering of motion by
The District Attorney for nolle prosedui al
done. ~ 'N'-
THE CRITIC has the best of authority for
saying that the compromise did contem-
plate the dismissal of the indictments
against ottman. In fact the papers signed
by Brewster included one directing the en-.
tering Of a nolle prosequi in ali indictments
against him.
Mr.. Bliss explanation that sit was n
choice between s12,5OO and nothing. y
when he himself says the $3l 900 was nm.
doubtedly part of the very money stolen. is
exceedingly lame. Could Ottman have re-.
covered the money at law? Is it not a fact
that blunderiDg alone prevented the con.
viction of Ottman in the former trials?
Who got the $4,000?

The last legislature passed an act
authorizing the comptroller to draw
on the treasurer for the sum of $40
per month for each Tennessee soldier
not already provided for, who lost
their eyeslght in the late war between
the states. Under this act, so far,
only four have made application to
the comptroller, three of which have
been paid for four months each, and
the other is undergoing the necessary
investigation this week. The soldiers
receiving their pay are, John Err
skine, of Williamson county; Frank
Beasley, of Humphreys county, and
John H. Woldrige, of Giles county.
j. w. Sowrie, of Crockett county,
will get his pay as soon as the neces.
sary papers are certified. All of
these men lost their eyes in the SER
vice, and are absolutely in need OF
the assistance the legislature has so
generously given them.

In no way can disease be

room few inches. Beals asked II it was
safe. Eickett said it was SAFE as he had put
the blinds up and he wanted the window open
TO have some air. Beals felt uneasy about the
window being open and woke up several times
finding the blinds closed and everything all
right. The last time he awoke the blinds
9ero open few inches, and In the ray Of light
which entered he saw the shadow Of a mans
head. Leaning over In his berth he called:
