An Hsthetic Dog.
pLildeIphia Times

Mrs A. Louis Eakin has taken her beautiful
pug Puck to Bushkill with her, and has his
dainty meals prepared for him as regularly as
her own. This dog, in his early days, was
called Punch, but he did not like the name,
and he has become so sensitive to the plebean
patronymic that when he hears 1T he utters
fearful cries, and walls, and goes almost into
commissions.

Valuable Advice to Parsons.

Philadephl PresS.
The practice of ministers kissing the women
of their congregation is one more honored in the
breach than in the observance. We believe it is
growing gradually into disuse. AS rule, IL
minister would do we'll to put strong curb ON
his kissing propensities but, if he must indulge
them somewhat outside of his own family. let
him reserve his embraces for the worthy moth
ers in Israel, whom he can salute WITHOUT any
danger of scandal.

INTERNAL REVENUE COMMISSIONER
What Watterson says About the Appoint
ment of Miller and the System of
Revenue in General.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March l6.-Of the defeat
Cf Phil Thompson and the appointment OF
Miller for Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., Mr.. Wstterson will say in tomorrow
mornings Courier-J Journal. We are not pre-
pared to accept the defeat of Phil Thompson
as a declaration of war by the President
upon the friends of revenue reform, nor the
appointment of Miller. of West Virginia, as
evidence that it is the purpose Of the ad-
ministration 10 set itself against the
internal revenue taxes which pay more
than one-third of the expense OF the GOV
eminent, and without which there could be
no adequate reduction of Custom house
duties. Personally and locally, we very
much regret the decision, bat We trust that
the apprehension of those who have a right
to lair Interpretation and execution OF the
internal revenue laws, and have regarded
the West Nirginian as hostile to them aud
their interests, will be disappointed. Toe
question is economic, not moral, aud we
snail he slow TO believe that 1t will be
treated by the President and his advisers
in L narrow spirit. 1t will be given out Of
couree. that this is g triumph ol Mr.. Randall
over Mr.. Carlisle. That, however, will de-
pend altogether upon future Developments.
ii the President allies himself to Mr.. Ran
call be will do it openly and not clandes-
timely. Ii be does it vii! involve a hopeless
split of the party and new array Of polit-
icsl forces. We want no such conflict, and
shall 90 all in our power to avoid it. But
If, sgainst the protest of an overwhelming
majority OF Democrats, ii should come
to pass that the advocates OF
sound and honest revenue system
will not be found unequal to It, In affairs
of this sort il is best to have no conceal
ments. DANCE are ofttimes avoided by
going out to meet them. The President
might have evaded an issue by the familiar
expedient of appointing third party, neu-
trsl, or be NAV consider, and ne may be
right in considering, that there is no issue at
all. To cur mind and imperfect knowledge
we are inclined to think that there is, aud
that it is not encouraging 70 the friends of
real revenue reform, but we shall wait with
equanimity the course Of results"

that there was to be place made tor him

his respects to the Chief Magistrate, and that
