where They Were Caught.

Squire Borge, of Bangor, is wealthy,
and wishes his friends to understand that
he is a wonderful sportsman. Last win
ter he started up country on a fishing
trip where he met with poor success.
The first thing he did on returning to the
city was to go to market and buy fifteen
trout. They were beauties, ana he told
the salesman what he was going to do and
asked him where he should say they were
caught
"Oh, tell them they were taken from
Linus Pond
On his way home the squire called
and had the largest photographed. I'm
derneath the picture he wrote
Zone of the fifteen taken from Linus
Pond, January s, 1884, by Timothy
Borge, Esq"
In two days he came back to the mar
ketman and said:
"Lookee here, where is Linus Pond,
anyhow They asked me where it was
and ! told them it was up in the north
part of Hancock county. Then they got
map and wanted me to show it to
them, and for the life of me ! couldn't
find it, Just tell me where it is and Tll
90 home and fix them Confound their
hearts, III tell 'em where Linus Pond is,
aud give them enough of it"
Then the marketman led him gently
outside the shop and pointed to his sign.

Esquimau Dogs.

When at Fort Albany we saw several
Esquimau dogs, species of canine un-
known IN civilized communities. These
dogs are very large-larger than our
Newfoundland and much stronger when
in condition. Their strength, however.
varies. In the winter when they are
well fed for driving they are much stout
er and stronger than in summer, when
they are poorly fed, without exercise
and languid from the heat, which is very
telling upon them, as their native climate
Tar to the north Is very severe. Their
colors are white and yellow-while i'm
pure breeds are white and black-their
hair thick and bushy, and the tail long,
bushy and curling up at the end At
times they are very quiet, at others very
savage. They are driven ordinarily five
in number, but often many more. before
sleds one invariably a female, leading,
for the others will follow her more read
lily. Each dog has separate rein, which
is held by the driver, who has also a
great long whip made of sealskin, plated
as ordinary whips, but with the heavy
part of the lash about the thickness of
mans wrist. The lash is from six to nine
fathoms long, and the handle made of
wood, from foot to a foot and half
in length. When dog is not drawing
properly or lnisbehaving in any way. he
or she is drawn by his or her separate
rein out from the rest of the pack to re-
ceive chastisement with the whip, and so
well do they know what is coming that
just as soon as the rein is pulled the VIC
tim begins alping and struggling to cor
rect his or her ways before the whip
comes laundering along. Great skill is
required In the use OF these whips, for if
not properly handled the great heavy
lash cracks around the manipulator's
body and legs, inficting very painful
and sometimes severe wounds, but in the
hands of person skilled in the use of
them these whips can be used with great
precision and effect, sometimes complete
" cutting a dogs ear off.
Very remarkable stories are told about
the manner in which the Esquimau
handle their whips, but they are, be-
lieve, slightly exaggerated. 1t is said
they have frequently attacked and killed
white bears, the most ferocious animals
in the vicinity of James bay, with
knife attached to the end of a whip.
One of our party tried his hand" with
one of these dog whips and succeeded IN
furnishing his legs rather severely, while
a Hudson Bay company's officer used it
with as much ease and precision as a
horseman would have used an ordinary
whip. Some Esquimau dogs at Fort
Albany had to be tied a long distance
apart with long chains, while whole fish
were thrown to them, which they de-
voured with astonishing suddenness, lest
in their greed they should turn upon each
other They are quite unmanageaole
when they get on the track of deer,
and no person can check them in their
wild career as they .gallop '.up hill and
down dale" over ice and snow and
through bush, with the sled behind them
in pursuit of their prey. Ordinarily they
make about sixty miles day, and very
pleasantly and comfortably does man
travel in these northern regions wrapped
up in blankets and furs upon dog sled.

And his Name is CIardy.

Last week settled the Congressional
candidacy in this district. Mr.. Clardy
carried Jefferson, st. Francois, and
Madison-the latter overwhelmingly.
A mass meeting consisting of about
700 voters assembled at Frederick town,
and not less than 600 Of them declared
Clardy the man of their choice. 1t is
but justice to say that Mr.. Holiday
withdrew from the race day or two
before the meeting, but it is equally
just to presume that he would have
''stuck" if there had been a good show
for his Endorsement. But there was
none, and he had the good sense to get
out of the way before the damage to
himself was irreparable. AS for the
Democratic Standard, which has
senselessly and maliciously opposed
Mr.. Clardy by reason of its rivalry
with the Plaindealer, it is most beau
tifully and deservedly "left." Go
study politics, young man, and here
after don't undertake to dictate to the
people when their convictions are set
tied and their jaws "sot."
In Jefferson county, Morse, who had
been put forward by the anybody-to-
beat Clardy combination, and after
ward dropped by it to make room for a
new man-Judge Williams in
on his unreliable and vaccillating
friends" in a manner soothing to his
own feelings and disgusting to the
aforesaid faction. He quietly turned
his following over to Clardy mot that
he loved the present incumbent more,
but hated him less than Williams.
We believe Clardy would have carried
Jefferson county against either Morse
or Williams, but the two-bsth living
residents of the county-would, COM
bined, perhaps have beaten him.
The nomination of Mr.. Clardy on the
26tL will be practically unanimous on
the first ballot. And We say he de-
serves the honor, for he possesses the
three Jeffersonian Democratic pre-
requisites-he is faithful, capable and
honest.

very, very little boom. It was carried

We take the following extracts from
two articles appearing in the Jefferson
Democrat of July 10Th. In the first
instance it objects to keeping a man
long in Office; in the second it swings
clear around and advocates what it so
strongly opposes in the other:
"* We can consistently support Mr..
Clardy if he is nominated, but still maintain
that he has had honors enough. =
We have made no attack upon Mr.. Clardy,
but have insisted that three terms are enough
for common man, and that other good men
ought to have show.D
''Dr. Brewster, candidate for Representa-
tive, informs us that he is for G. &. Vest as
his own successor in the U. s. Senate. His
head is level on this point, as it would be
useless for any one opposed to Vest to ask
the Democrats of this comfy to elect him to
the Legislature. We haven't got many Vests
in the State, and can not afford to pull him
down."
1t is true Mr.. Clardy has been elect
ed to three terms, and Mr.. Vest only
one, but, as it takes three of Mr.. Clar-
dy's terms to equal one of Mr.. Vests,
we can't see where the great difference
comes in, with this exception: If Mr..
Clardy is elected again it will be for
only two years, and would make his
total years--iY Congress but eight,
while, if Mr.. Vest is chosen to be his
own sueeessor;ft will be for Asix years
longer, making his total time in the
U. S. Senate twelve years. Itlooks as
though the Democrat only made use
of its doctrine giving other good men
a show upon certain occasion, and
that when an old and tried incumbent
in Office did not exactly suit it. The
only Handing ground left for the DEM
ocrdt would lie in the fact that those
he is advocating for Congress are more
,n-"common" men than Clardy; and
we defy him to prove that.

The IRON COUNTY REGISTER and the JET
terson Democrat don't support the same
candidate for Congress. There is blood on
the moon and both these papers are prepar-
ing to wash their hands in it. Boys, "don't."
Those candidates will manage to get through
without bloodshed, and there is no doubt
but what the right man will get the nominal
tiOn.-Cape G.rart!eou Courier.
The Courier has misunderstood the
few little spats the REGISTER and
Democrat have given each other.
Now the two papers agree almost to a
"T" on the Congressional Candidacy.
The Democrat believes when man
has been sent to Congress for three
terms. he should not under any cir
cumstances be sent again, if there are
other persons who want to go, while the
REGISTER thinks he should, if he is
faithful capable and honest. That be-
ing the only difference of opinion, why
should we quarrel? AT any rate there's
no danger of the REGISTER getting out
of humor. Hon. Martin L. Clardy will
be nominated in Ironton next August
on the first ballot. An editor who
would get on his ear under such Cir
cumstances, would growl if he were
going to be hung.
