Bulldog VS.. Cur.

Yesterday it became necessary to destroy
one of those pestiferous little nuisances
which are all too common on our streets,
yelping, swapping little cur, which had bit
ten boy on Rice street. Seeing that the
little brute was to die, and with the dread of
the cruelty to animals society in his eye,
Chief Clark looked around him for
''dead shot, among the doughty members OF
his force, and he picked out officer Schorn for
his steady eye and nerve, and despatched
him with instructions to dispatch the plaguey
little beast. The officer promptly cleaned
and loaded his bulldog, and went in search Of
the other dog, which he soon discovered.
Advancing cautiously as near as he dared, and
placing the muzzle of the gun within yard of
the terrible terrier, the keeneyed officer fired!
The bull dog jumped little upwards in the
officers steady hand; the other dog blinked
his eye and licked his jaw. The officer fired
again and again, but the incorri gle pup did
not look like dying, and his craZed brains re-
fused to scatter his skull. There is one more
shot in the locker, and the officer
touches again the lock of his deadly
weapon, closing one eye and looking
across the barrel with the other, and the last
bullet is discharged at the bull head Of the
child-chawing canine. The little cur wagged
his tail, elevated his dropping left ear,
opened his sleepy looking eyes and yawned
but did not die. Thinking the brute must
have heard of Mr.. Bergh and his humanitiz-
ing society, and was determined not to die
till some member should see him
in the throes Of dissolution
the policeman fastened to borrow an axe
with which he soon gave the the fated mon
grel his quietus, when it was discovered that
only one ball had touched the dog and that
had cut half dozen hairs off his back nea +
the base of the tail. 1t will be some time be-
fore the great dead shot Of the force hears
the last of his skilful pistol practice.

HUDSON IN WINTER.

1t is quite interesting to visit quite little
burgh like Hudson, Wisconsin, in mid-winter.
It lies snuggled down in the most comforta-
BILE manner, under its high protecting bluffs,
like fat bear that pulls itself into a hole
in winter waiting for the birds and flowers in
spring. The internal economy goes right
along, there being sufficient vitality to
keep things lively enough until the awaken
ing of the floral season, ''when the logs
come down." and when the pretty town puts
on its holiday attire and Hospitality entertains
the hosts of tourists that are fortunate
enough to know, and wise enough to appre-
ciate spot where nature has bestowed her
choicest charms; splendid scenery, lovely
rivers, fascinating aquatic sports, fine fish
ing, admirable hunting, and pure, soft
breezes. But they get along nicely with their
hops, masquerades, sociables, ETC., and Hon.
Hold Taylor, Col. Dove, B. j. Price and the
newspaper men are fat, hearty and hospita-
BILE. We went down to see Bill Nye, but he
had gone down to buy Chicago, or trade his
spinal menengitis for it.

The position taken by Alderman Rhodes
on the high license question has apparently
been misunderstood His opposition to an
increase of the fee as at present established,
is based upon the idea that in view of the
general depression of business, it would not

change the existing order of things. Even
should a change be made, Mr.. Rhodes
deems $500 as excessive; $3.50

The alderman is of the opinion that the sub

A Small Blaze--The District Telegraph.

At go O'Clock yesterday morning, fire
was discovered in the office of the Manitoba
freight house, corner of Third and Broadway
streets, a still alarm of fire being turned in
by the District Telegraph company This
brought out the department and the fire was
soon squelched, the damage being nom
inal.
So far as heard from this is the
first practical instance of the usefulness of
the District Telegraph company, an organic
alton which has just started, as means Of
checking fires in their incipiency.
In order to demonstrate the promptness
and efficiency of the company, the following
communication from Mr.. Dickson, of the
freight house, to Manager Marvel, is given in
full
ST.. PAUL, March Z, 1884
A. Marvel, Esq. General Manager:
DEAR SIR:-At 500 a. m. to-day bundle
of empty sacks coming in contact with the
pipe of one of the stoves in warehouse ignit-
ed, and though at once thrown out into the
snow and extinguished without damage to
any other property, gave rise to an alarm
through our District Telegraph signal, which
was promptly responded to. In seven min
utes the entire fire department were on hand
ready for service.
This is the first practical use we have made
of the District company's system, and was
very satisfactory. Truly yours,

CROP REPORT FOR MARCH.
Abstract of the Return of Agent
Young to the Agricultural
Rupeau

The monthly report of Agent Fl. Fl. Young
to the Agricultural bureau at Washington,
for March, was couched In a reply to several
questions propounded by the United States
commissioner.
The proportion of the corn of 1883, remain
ing in the state March 1, 1884, was 9 pei
cent. of the crop, or about 1, 450, 600 bushels
Correspondents state that the entire crop Of
1888 was retained for state consumption, and
about 5 per cent. of it was
good merchantable corn, the average
value of which in the counties where it was
raised, being ffty-three cents per bushel,
while the understandable corn in the same
section brought twenty-three cents pei
bushel Only single instance of stock be-
ing injured by eating immature corn is re-
ported by the state correspondents, and that
resulted in the loss of a span of horses. The
unsound corn was not cribbed but was fed
from the field and shock and therefore did
not become musty.
1t has been common practice Of the
farmers of the state during the winter to be
purchasers of corn outside the state for feed
as but little of that grown by them was be-
lieved to be fit for fattening hogs or stock;
neither has it been fed to any extent
to mich cows and to horses. Several
correspondents report that the milk of cows
fed upon immature corn was found to be
unfit for use. Seed corn is scarce and diff
cult of procurement at any price.
The proportion of wheat raised in the
state in 1888 now on hand, is 1888, 900
bushels, the crop having been better than
the average, and better than any crop since
1877. The average weight was fifty-seven
pounds to the bushel. Of the 1888 wheat
crop % per cent. is reported to have been
consumed in the state and II per cent.
shipped out of the state in the
shape of either grain or flour.
Many farmers have refused to sell their wheat
because of the low prices ruling in the mar
kets, and although the above given quantity
as the number Of bushels remaining in the
state of the 1883 crop, is compiled from the
statements given by correspondents, it is
thought to be much less than the number OF
bushels in reality on hand.
Nearly all the state correspondents discuss,
in giving in their reports, the elevator, rail-
way transportation and grading wheat ques-
tions, nearly all claiming that something
should be done to afford relief from monopo-
lies. A number of them, especially in
the northwestern portion of the state
take the occasion to compliment
Gov. Hubbard for refusing to call an extra
session of the legislation, maintaining that
they had no reason to expect any propitious
legislation in behalf of the agricultural in
terests of the state from the converting of
that body, while none of them disapproye Of
his action in the premises.

A Sad Case.

The case of Nathaniel Tibbetts, examined
and found to be insane at the probate court
rooms yesterday, was sad one. He was
soldier in the late war and at one time had
been quartermaster in Union regiment,
and had suffered an attack OF sunstroke
while in the service. Since then he had
lived in one of the norteern counties OF the
state, in which at one time he held the
Office of sheriff. Nearly every summer he
had more or less suffered from the effects OF
his sun stroke, but had been free from it
winters until the present, when it so inflict-
ed his sanity that the physicians at the ex-
animation decided that he must be sent to
the hospital. He is 90 years of age, is the
father of eight children, and had lived i'll
this city but a few months. While ap
pearing to be sane and gentle on
many subjects he was raying
on others, constantly complained of great
pain in the head, and at the examination
begged the doctors to cut his head apart, tell
ing them how to do it, and on their plea that
they had not the proper instruments to per-
form an operation, begging them to get
hand or buck-saw and do the jobwith these
Towards his wife, who was present with him
at the examination, he was kind and consid-
crate, and at times he made humorous re-
marks tn her

Uhai ,ciu Burst a Gun.
[Philadelphia Times.l

Some strangely twisted pieces Of gun bar
rels in a window on Chestut street exhibit in
most interesting fashion the vagaries of
overtasked gun barrels. These specimens
are parts of some guns burst by Capt.
Heath of this city during some protrocted ex-
periments with various weapons. Five Of
the barrels were burst because ball was
"stuck" near the muzzle in each case, two
gave Cway because about four inches OF
snow was put in the muzzle, two were burst
by. reason Of having some wet sand at the
muzzle. sportsmen often scoop up little
mud or sand unconsciously, bang away at
game, and are then astonished to find the
gun with ragged and shortened barrel.

GOING SLOW.
Like the Old Lady's Tea-GOod Enough
For What There is of It, and
Enough Of it Such as it is,


"Things in this court are breaking pretty
rocky" remarked the bailiff yesterday morn
ing, as he put another lump of ice into the
water cooler. SIT used to be that when the
cold weather set in we always had rush of
business, but nowadays the hard times
don't seem to make much difference. Why
just look at the bull pen this morning, only
two cases, and one of 'em dismissed; not
even a limLer drunk or a stiff; il
must be that the people are drinking
beef tea or ginger ale. Well, it is a pretty
good thing for society, but just the same we
don't collect any money from fnes'
"Just look at the Docket he continued
turning over the pages of the big book where
the cases are recorded ''It used to be that
page would only do for one day, and now
ten days. business is all on one page.
tell you, things are slow and unless the boys
get to doing the rounds again and paint the
town red, as in the good old times, this court
will have to suspend business and make an
assignment.
The GLOBE man remarked that 1t was
pretty tough, as the verbose minion of JUS
tice got away with the scribe's last chew of
fine cut, which is carried to provide against
sudden spell Of the toothache, and the
bailiff proceeded to bounce couple of sleep
ers who had dozed away on the benches.
The only cases before the
court were those OF
James Doyle and John Firestone. Doyle is
the tramp who was before the court on Thurs
day for disorderly conduct. He was sem
fenced to ninety days at that time, but was
given until noon to leave town. He didn't
go, and the same night he was run in again.
Yesterday he. went out to The joint and he
will remain in durance until next grass.
Firestone is the nabob who keeps q second
hand joint on East Third street, and he was
charged with stealing scrap iron and mach
inery from the ruins of the late warehouse
fire. The charge was not proven and the
case was dismissed.

Watching the Circulation.

Among the new things is the late inven-
ton for watching the circulation of the
blood in the body; the method is simple and
it is wonder it was not thought of before.
The lower lip is dawn out and fixed upon a
stage ola microscope by means of clips, the
inner surface being uppermos, and having
a strong light thrown upon it by conden-
ser, The microscope is brought to bear on
the surface of the lip, using a lower-power
objective and focusing a small superficial
vessel. At once one sees the endless pro-
cession of the blood corpSscles through the
minute capillaries, the colorless ones appear
ing like white specks, dotting the red stream.
This is the first instance of the flow Of the
vital fluid in one person watched by anoth-
