Much asperity of feeling has existed
recently in Texas and other cattle
raising sections relative to the unlaw-
full Enclosure of public lands and the
cutting Of fences. Indeed, 80 intense
was the feeling that a special session OF
the legislature of the Lone Star state
was called to devise statutory laws upon
the important subject. But law max
ing to this end did not stop here, es-
pecially as other sections were deeply
interested, and the strong arm of the
national government was speedily in
voked to straighten out the vexatious
matters. Annexed will be found SEN
ate bill $50, " to prevent the unlawful
inclosure of public lands:"
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives Of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled, That If any person shall unlaw.
fully i~nclose. or cause to be inclosed, by

lie land upon which he has no actual
settlement or to which he has no claim
of right OF title under the laws of the
United States, or shall maintain any
unlawful inelosure of or upon the pub.
lie lands, he shall be liable to a fine OF
one hundred dollars a day for each and
every day such Enclosure shall be main
tanned from and after the passage OF
this act.

A SMART AND USEFUL DOG.
He Saves the Lives Of Five Cows and Kills
Two Blaclsnalxes.

tMiddletown IN. " Cor. N. Y. Times.l
William Ellsworth, Esq, living In what
is known as ''the Glove" a adelightful part
of the roadway short distance this side
OF Deckertown, near this place, Is the pos
SCISSOR Of large and powerful Newfound-
land dog called Rover. 0flarge and COM
manding stature, Rover has kindly eye,
and is one Of the most Intelligent beasts In
the country. One Sunday last winter,
when the family returned from Decker
town, where they had been attending
church, Rover did not greet them as was
his invariable custom. The members Of
the family were quick to notice his abb
sence. After they had been but short
time in the house they wero startled by
the low baying Of Rover, and on opening
the door the dog rushed in on them, and
going over to where Mr.. Ellsworth stood
he looked up appealingly in his face, and
gave utterance to low sounds Of distress
and tugged at his masters coat At Mrs.
Titworth's suggestion lantern was pro-
cured and Rover was followed to the sta
bles, where five COWS had been yoked to-
gether in their stalls. A heavy beam had
fallen out OF its socket and the cows, when
found, were all prostrated with this beam
over their necks. A few hours more and
the whole number would have perished.
They were speedily liberated from their
perilous position.
This is but one Of the many instances
where Rover has displayed his rare intel.
ligence. When Mr.. Ellsworth is at home
the dog seldom notices Mrs. Ellsworth, but
when his master is away from home Rover
follows her and watches her every move
with jealous care. A few days ago the
lady planted few Virginia creeper vines
down in the lower end of the garden, for
the purpose of having them cover an old
water wheel that many years ago served
to do the churning on the large farm. Yes
terday she went to see how the vines were
prospering, when she was Mortified at see
ing an immense blacksnake coiled up on
the water wheel, apparently summing IL
self. The lady was startled, but quickly
regaining her courage she called for Ro
yer, and the faithful beast was soon by

dog, without single utterance, Mrs. Tits
worth stepped aside to witness the fray
Although thirteen years old, Rover is still
very game, and in an instant he attacked
the snake with ferocity quite remarkable
for one of his age, and in few minutes
lay dead on the grass. Mrs. Titswortl
was about to leave the place when sh
heard Kissing noise, and, looking around
she saw the mate Of the dead snake coileC
up and ready to strike her. Rover, al
though nearly exhausted from his combat
quickly attacked the second snake AM
succeeded in despatching 1t. In few
minutes countless numbers Of small snake
issued from the mother snake and sought
refuge in the grass. These small snakes
varied in length from two to four inches
and displayed great activity. The OLE
snakes were measured by farm hand
One was found to be six feet and few
inches and the other nearly seven feet II
length.

WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA?

Among the many symptoms
Of Dyspepsia or Indigestion
the most prominent are: Va
riable appetite; faint, gnawing
feeling at pit Of the stomach,
with unsatisfied craving for
food; heartburn, feeling Of
weight and wind in the stom-
ach, bad breath, bad taste in
the mouth, low spirits, general
prostration, headache, and
constipation. There Is no form
ofdisease more prevalent than
Dyspepsia, and none so pecul-
lar to the high-living and rap
id-eating American people.
Alcohol and tobacco produce
Dyspepsia; also, bad air, rapid
eating, etc. BURD0CK BLOOD

the workingmen. The veto Of the Five.
Cent-Fare bill, the Car-Drivers' and Con-
ductors' bill, and che Mechanics Lien
bill are specifically cited rs evidences
of his cold-blooded hostility to the
workingmen's interests. "The most
charitable view TO take Of his case"
says Tammany, sis that he was ignor-
ant and unenlightened concerning the
nature and operation of these laws"
The Democratic Convention is rebuked
for the application Of the gag-law, and
the apparent will of the majority thus
obtained is condemned as having been
''unwisely expressed"
If the Tammany address stood alone
and had been adopted without dissent
it would be sufficient evidence of Tam
many's intentions as to Cleveland, for il
says plainly that the exigency of party
allegiance alone requires formal in
dorsement of the Democratic ticket,
while it presents broadside Of reasons
why the voter individually should
oppose Cleveland. That they will do
80 is made pretty certain by Tam
many's previous conduct toward often
sive candidates.
But still more significant was the
hearty reception given to ex-senator
Grady and his outspoken bolt Of Cleve-
land. Not even John Kelly himself re-
ceived the enthusiastic applause which
Grady's terrible scoring Of Cleveland
called out The big Indian Chief sat in
silence and had no word Of dissent or re-
buke to offer. Had Grady antagonized
the sentiments of the Tammany Society
he would have been hustled out of the
room without ceremony; but he was
really the hero of the hour because he
spoke outright the bitter hostility to
Cleveland which all felt and which the
address concealed in part.
Grady made good his promise to the
committee at Its last meeting to fasten
the charge Of corruption upon Governor
Cleveland.
The net result Of the meeting may be
stated as follows: Tammany is not for
Cleveland; Cleveland's public career
has been openly smirched, as his pri-
vate lie has been notoriously corrupt;
and he will lose at the least $4,000 or
10000 Democratic votes in the City Of
New York. Chicago Tribune.

There Is q suggestion Of the Sicilian
bandit about Tammany's treatment Of
Cleveland. It greets him with asmile
and strikes a stilleto blow in the back
which is true TO the mark and viii prob
ably prove fatal.
The address issued sets forth Tam
many's long history Of party loyalty,
vauns tho numerical strength Of It's
voting organization, gives a grudging
pledge TO vote the Democratic tickes.
and arraigns Cleveland as q man VINO
Is unworthy of support The meaning
Of all this Is clear. Tammany proposes
TO retain its place in the Democratic
organization by its formal action, but
intends TO defeat Cleveland in New York
State, which is the keystone Of the
Democratic arch.
The accidental election Of Cleveland
as Governor Is credited In Tammany's'
address TO the discussions and divisions
among the Republicans, which Is true,

Saratoga as a Slave Mart.
Esaratoga Cor. N. Y. Tlmes.l

Ilearn ON seemingly excellent authority
that on Monday colored girl belonging
to a Cuban family stopping at hotel here
noted for its speciality Of Cuban patrons
was sold in the regular, customary man
ner for the sum OF $1,000. The bill of sale
was drawn in the usual way, save that II
was dated Havana, Cuba, June p, 1884,
instead of Saratoga, N. Y, August 20, 1884
the day of the exchange Of property and
price. The bill OF sale is drawn by q
Spanish or Cuban attorney-ag guest at the
same hotel with the high contracting par
ties. The colored girl is about twenty
years of age, very light colored and very
comely to look upon. She was nurse In
the family of her recent owners, and in
that capacity has visited Saratoga three OF
four years. The purchaser is a Cuban
widower, also guest at the same house.
He has been q widower about ten years,
and has no children. 1t is said that he
will be married upon his return TO Havana
In October. 1t is not generally known that
slaves have been brought TO Saratoga by
their owners for nearly hundred years.
Most OF them were, Of course, brought by
Southerners Of our own country, before the
war. 1t was said in those days that 1t was
not unusual for family or an indhvual
to transfer slave here, the documentary
portion Of the transaction being generally
deferred until home was reached. Usually
the case was one of money.raising, though
sometimes 1t was merely a desire on she
other side TO acquire servQnt and will
ingness on the other side 70 sell the one
wanted. The sale OF "a slave in Saratoga
in 1884 Is, however, an extraordinary mat
ter. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe might
find In Saratoga material for greater
book than "Uncle Toms Cabin"
