Enforce the Dog Law.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 We have State law requiring allsdogs to be registered and collared and imposing a fine or imprisonment, or both, for not com plying with the law. Furthermore, anyone may kill an unregistered dog and claim 8 bounty for doing it. Now I would suggest to Humanity" and others like him to talk less and do something towards enforcing the existing law before making any new ones.
 If the present law were rigidly enforced there would be very little hydrophobia, as valuable dogs are usually well cared for.
 The law in relation to injury to sheep and cattle by dogs will satisfy any reasonable person. Humanity" will do well to study John G. Saxe's ''Fate of Dog"

A Belgian botanist has published treatise two hundred and fifty pages long on the stinging nettle. According to the author, a long life would be needed to acquire all the knowledge to be gained from this humble plant. 'Even then, it may be presumed, the next generation, with improved methods of observation and research, would find as much work to do." The chief interest of the stinging nettle to botanical students is in its microscopical anatomy

It has been industriously circulated that during his reign the late King Alfonso of Spain accumulated the enormous sum of 200, ,oG0, 900 reals ($25, ,OOO, ,OOO). There is now said to be not one word of truth in this The expenses of the royal household, pensions, charities, and more than once the liquidation of the debts of relatives not as careful as himself absorbed the major portion of the appropriation which Alfonso received from the State, and the sum which he has left, in- cluding the amount of insurance upon his life in various foreign offices, can hardly in any sense be termed fortune Liberal, without being exeravagant, Alfonso endeav- ored to set aside something for his children.
 It is announced that the representatives of agricultural districts in France have resolved to oppose the re-admission of American packed meats. But if they succeed in their opposition this country need not go into mourning, for in spite of German and French exclusion, American exports of provisions and dairy products have been for eleven months of this year as large in value as they were last year. More cattle have been ex- ported, and double the number of hogs and more canned beef, and 9s Ooo, ,OOO against 104, ,00O,0 900 pounds of fresh meats, and 67, 900, GOO against 34 ,OOo, 900 of salt beef, and 31, 900, 900 against AT, ,Ooe, 900 pounds of tall low, while of pork products the exports in eleven months of this year have reached 709,000,000 pounds against 534, 100000 pounds last year. It is true there has been some decline in price so that the value of ex- ports is only about the same, but the de- cline has not been such as to check the pro- duction.

There are many moralists and thinkers as clear sighted as Balzac, but it is generally agreed that in the painting of seen cry and delineation of character he has brought in a realism such as no other writer has had the power to suggest Personally considered Balzac was the opposite of the typical Frenchman, man pure in morals and sincerely religious.

SIn the Pan Mall Gazette, Of recent
Issue. there sppeared the following COM


issue, thee sfrearedthe following COM
ments upon the appointment of Minis
ter LowelPs successor: President
Cleveland has appointed Vermont
lawyer his name is immaterial; no one
has ever heard of it on this side of the
Atlantic, but NJ doubt he is a most
respectable and competent pelson-to
succeed the most eminent American of
this generation as ambassador to the
Court of st. James. 1t is pity the new
President, who has promised so fairly
about civil service reform, should have
made diplomatic appointment which
can hardly be called reform. The only
good thing about it is that it will serve
as foil to bring out into still further
relief the genius AMI the fame of the
retiring Minister. Buteven that is but
poor consolation, for Mr.. Lowell did not
need foil"
In subsequent number the Gazette
has this on the same subject addressed
to the editor: "SIR-Wili you allow me
a few lines of commerltupon paragraph
in the Pail Mall Gazette of last evening
which fear may tend to produce mis-
chievous misapprehenslOn? President
Cleveland would be the last man to
make an inconsiderate appointment to
any office, especially to one so important
as the English Mission. Mr. Phelps is
as far as possible from being the I'M
known or obscure person ne is assumed
10 be in your paragraph. None but a,
distinguished and agreeable man could
have been chosen President of the
American Bar Association; meme but an
able and accomplished lawyer could
have been called to professorshipat Yale
College. Nh. Phelps is man of high
character, of marked Independence, and
of the most agreeable social qualities. A
change of ministers was unavoidable,
and both countries are to be cOngratu-
lated on the wisdom of Mr.. Cleveland's
choice. remain your obedient servant,

the pier into the water. None OF his
companions could g ave him. and their
cries had brought no one from the shore
when, just as he was sinking for the
third time, a superb newfoundland dog
rushed down the pier into the water and
pulled the boy out. Those of the chill
dren who did not accompany the COY
home took the dog to confectionsr's on
the shore anu fed him with as great a
variety of cakes and other sweets as he
would eat. So far the story is, of course,
only typical of scores Of well known
cases. The individuality of this case is
left for the sequel.
The next afternoon the same group of
children were playing at the same place,
when the canine hero of the day before
came trotting down to them with the
most friendly wags and mods. There be-
inc no occasion this time for supplying
him with delicacies, the children only
stroked and patted him. The dog, how
ever, had not come out OF pure soclabll-
ity. 4 child in the wafer and cakes and
candy stood to him in the close and OBJ
vious relation of cause and effect, an ! if
this relation was not clear to the children
ne resolved to impress it upon them
Watching his chance, he crept mp behind
the child who was standing nearest to
tae edge of the pier, gave sudden push
which sent him into the water, then
sprang in after HIM and gravely brought
him to shore.
To those of us who have had high
respect for the disinterestedness of dogs,
this story nay give proof that the devel-
opment of the intelligence. at the eK-
pense of the moral nature, is by no
means exclusively human. Spectator.
