 There is no end to the funny things that are seen and heard by the teachers in our public schools.

A Hearty Protest Against Dogs.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Last weeks Tribune gave an account of the work of two mad dogs. One of the dogs bit six children, the other one bit one man, two cows and large number of dogs. Now, one death by hydrophobia is of more consequence than all the dogs in the world. Then why keep dogs? An! but 'fit is English, you know" And, again, think of the service they perform in leading ladies about with a ribbon or silver chain to give the dear crea- lures an airing. And yet lady's maid might do the same thing for the poor inno- cents. But to be serious. Dogs cost great deal, do no good and are an absolute curse But for dogs our New England hills would be lined with sheep; mutton and lamb on our tables would cost but half what it now does. Will not our legislature come to our aid and make the owners of dogs pay one hundred dollars license and keep the dog muzzled besides? If mad dogs would bite their owners only I would not say one word.

A Sari0mR Charpn.

The correspondent of the London Times at Malaga, writing on the 29th of November, says: ''Very large sums of money were col lected for the relief of the victims of the earthquake. The result is not encouraging for those who desire to assist the poor who have suffered from the cholera epidemic. In Granada as in Malaga, I have been called upon to listen to innumerable complaints on this subject. But more surprising, perhaps, than these complaints is the fact that at Gra- nada no one whom I met knew anything about the Mansion House fund. Yet of all places in Spain, Granada must have been among the first marked down for relief The poverty that prevails in the town, the ap- palling number of deaths due to the epidem-
 ic constitute the strongest claim for assis- tance Nevertheless, when 1 spoke of the Mansion House fund to the first secretary of the prefecture he appeared to know nothing whatever about the matter. With southern warmth and expansion he felicitated me for taking interest in such subject, but was un- able to give me any information. The chief of the statistical department, who in the dis tribution of relief might have been consulted as knowing where most cases of cholera oc- cured, ignored the existence of the Mansion House fund. He was most surprised and de lighted when informed that the English pub lie had come to the assistance of the poor in Spain Then spoke to some of the doctors who had been most active in attending to the cholera patients and to professor of the university. None of these gentlemen had heard of the Mansion House fund or met with anyone who had received relief from this source. Finally l called on the editor of the principal local newspaper and found he was equally ignorant A small sum had been forwarded from Malaga by the English consul, but this was a private charity and was received before the constitution of the Mansion House committee. At the door of my hotel I found some Sisters of Mercy standing, plate in hand, collecting money for the poor It occurred to me to ask them whether they had obtained any assistance from England; and at last I found that, though they did not seem acquainted with the Mansion House fund, still they had re- ceived from England a gift of four pounds sterling When I suggested that this was but small sum, thay replied that there were altogether five sisterhoods working for the poor in Granada, and that if each obtained four pounds this would make a total of twen- ty pounds, which they qualified as an impor- tant sum- When I related this incident to
 some Spanish gentlemen who take a promi- nent part in the intellectual and educational

movement of the town, they gave vent to many expressions of indignation. It was explained to me that the late archbishop had received great deal of money for the vic- tims of the earthquake. No account, how ever, is forthcoming of the expenditure The present archbishop is equally reticent On the other hand, extraordinary activity is dis played throughout the province in the resto- ration of churches, convents and other reli- gious establishments. These works are not limited to the edifices damaged by the earth quake, but many buildings that were only injured by the effects of time and neglect are now being renovated. I was shown two such structures in Granada. People have not failed to wonder how it is that buildings which had been abandoned to their fate for so many years happen to be repaired within few months after the receipt of the sub scriptions for the earthquake.n

impartial reader to draw his own conclu- sions. The book gives a graphic account of the structure of the horse as compared with the structure of man and the connec- tion between the hoof and foot, etc. The uses of the shoe and blinkers are dwelt upon. A parallel is drawn between the horse and the steam engine, showing that those who have the management of each will be adapted to their task in proportion to their knowledge. It will be found in teresting to high degree and will furnish information to every reader. As work which shows that the horse and man are fellow-workers, instead of master and slave, it will be well received. J. B. Lippincott & Co.,, publishers, Philadelphia.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE

The United States Senate will be con-
trolisd By the Republicans until March T.
1887. Between now and thst time there
will q close contest. As matters now
stand thirty-fOur Democrats and thirty-three
Republicans are reasonably sure to hold
seats after that tims-lesying nine seats
to be contested for in next year $ elections
These seats are TO be filed IN California,
Connecticut, Indiana, Maine. Michigan,
Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Wis
eonsin.
If the Democrats carry four Of these
States the Senate will be tie, and Nh
HEyDNCEs will have the decisive vote.
But can the Democrats carry four Of the
nine States2 Beyond ell reasonable doubt
the Democrats will be able to carry New
Jersey and Indiana, because they are DEM
ocratic States. Connecticut and New
Nork are Democratic Safes, but the
chances are against the Democrats carrying
them.
The doubtful States are California, Mich
ieaH, Maine, Nevada and Wisconsin. The
Democrats need to gain two seats from these
States. Though the prospect is not so
bright as it has been at times, yet If the
National Administration keeps q straight
forward course and Democrats do their
duty the matter will doubtless end well for
the Democratic party.

THE NEW FUEL.

Ga the third p &c Of this mornings
REGIsTEs appears an article from this
weeks Harper's Weekly in reference to the
gas wells Of Pennsylvania. From the &C
count given, the saving Of expense where
gas is used for fuel is from thirty to fifty
per cent. Better manufactured articles
can be produced in the iron and glass
manufactures, and the convenience and
cleanliness are no small item.
When We consider this and the fact that
the use Of this fuel is constantly being ex-
tended, it is no wonder that manufacturing
towns and cities that are not so favored
have gloomy feelings in regard to their
own ability Of successful competition.
Whether Wheeling shall be able to share
the good fortune of Pittsburg and other
Pennsylvania towns remains yet to be
seen.
But while these towns are fortunate IN
this respect, there is g very unpleasant
phase connected with the question. The
daily consumption oigss Is equal to 10000
tons Of coal. The great coal trade in some
sections viii be almost entirely destroyed.
Where the transition is made suddenly
great numbers of miners Will be unable to
gain employment and the result will be at
tended with more or less Inconvenience
loss and perhaps suffering.
The suggestion that it is possible to
manufacture gas from coal at an expense
of ten cents per 1000 cubic feet-the cost
of natural gas in Allegheny-if it proves
practicable, will serve greatly to counteract
the depression in the coal trade. Then if
Wheeling fails in securing natural gas, it
may still be made possible for her to com
pete with Pittsburg BY utilizing the coal
product. At the same time our miners
will suffer little loss.

A POETS POsY OF SWEET vIOLEIs.
How Herr INLAND Got what Was Better
Than Gifts From Kingly Hands.

A new INLAND anecdote is sure Of q
wide welcome. Although the poet de-
lighted to take his subjects from the
knightly and romantic middle ages, when
feudsHsm was everywhere in force, he was
essentially a poet of the people. The
Prussian King, Frederick William ",
offered him the Order Pour le Merite,
with flatteEing expressions Of the royal
regard. INLAND, however, declined to
accept While he was explaining to his
wife the reason which moved him to re-
fuse the distinction, there was knock
at the door. A working.clsss girl from
the neighborhood entered, and, presenting
INLAND with q bunch of yiolets, said:
This is an offering from my mother"
"Your mother, child !" replied the poet. 81
thought she died last August" That is
true, Herr INLAND, said the girl, "aud /
begged you at tee time to make little
verse Tor her grave, and you cent me q
beautiful poem. These are the first violets
which have bloomed on mothers grave; |
have plucked them, and like to think
that she sends them to you with her greet
ing" The poets eyes moistened as he
took the posy, and, putting it in his button
hole, he said to his wife There, dear
woman, is not that sn order more valuable
than any King can giyeT'
