where's my halP"

Where's my haiP"
WHO'S seen my knifef"
WHO turned my coat wrong side
out and slung 1t under the loungef"
There you 60. my boy. When you
camo into the house last evening You
flung your hat across the room, jumped
out of your shoes and kicked sem
right and lefL wriggled out Of your
coat and gave it toss. and now you
are ANNOYED because each article hasn't
gathered itself into chair to be ready
for you when you dress in the morn-
ing.
Who cut those shoe-stringsP You
did it, to save one minutes time in un-
tying them! Your knife is under your
bed, where it rolled when you hoped,
skipped and jumped out of your trous-
ers.
Your collar is down behind the
bureau. one of your socks on the foot
OF the bed, and your vest may be in the
kitchen wood-box for all you know.
Now, then, my way has always been
the easiest way. l had rather fling my
hat down than hang it up; I'd rather
kick my boots under the lounge than
place them in the hall; I'd rather run
the risk of spelling new coat than to
change it
own right up to being reckless and
slovenly, but, ah. me! haven't l had to
pay for it ten times over! Now set
your foot right down and determine to
have order. 1t is trait that can be
acquired.
An orderly man can make two suits
OF clothes last longer and look better
than slovenly man can do with four.
Can save an hour per day over the man
who filings things helter-skelter. He
stands twice the show to get situa-
ton and keep it. and five times the
show to conduct business with profit.
An orderly man will be an accurate
man. If he is carpenter every joint
will fit. If he is turner his goods will
look neat II he is q merchant his
books will show neither blot nor error.
An orderly man is usually an economi-
cal man and always prudent one. II
you should ask me how to become rich

A Dogs Devotion.

On the morning OF WhlCh speak, tue
whole >csyalcade, hunters, horses, bag
gage-wagons, servants, and many
packs of hounds, were gathered togeth-
er in our stable-yard, awaiting the sig
nal for starting. Horns werc sounding,
dogs were bating, guns were clatter-
ing, eager. hunters were laughing and
talking, and general excitement was
over all the establishment. Fritz's
spirits were extremely high. He sprang
up a,dozen times and kissed his mas
ster's riding horse. brought his master
his whip and boots, and seemed fairly
beside himself with joy. But Fritz was
not to be of the hunting party. Or the
mountains he was out Of his element,
and only marred the sport; so he was
to be left at home. But his master
could not bear to tell him thus, and
determined not to start with the party,
but make a detour and slip away un-
perceived. Consequently he had his
horse led round to the front gate OF the
mousse, intending to mount there, but
Fritz was so alert and vigilant that it
was impossible to elude his watchful-
ness. So his master took him aside,
and said in low but impressive tone
of voice: ''Fritz,you are not to go with
me. If the dog had been shot think
he would scarcely have fallen to the
ground more suddenly, as If deprived
Of life. 1t was at the end of a long hail.
that commanded the front door and
front gate, where the dog had dropped.
His master patted him affectionatcly,
passed on, and mounted his horse, but
Fritz no more moved than if he was
dead. His master called to him: Good
By, FRITZ but he lay motionless. The
household gathered about him and
tried to comfort him.
..Look up, Fritz l said. "See! your
master is speaking to you. But he
Z buried his face between his paws and
seemed not to hear
When some one said, sPapais gone"
allow moan burst from the dog, and
this finally became q sobbing cry, which
did not cease until after midday. 1t
was one Of the most piteous sounds l
ever heard. We soothed and caressed
him, and brought him delicacies wc
knew he liked, but ho was dead to our
comfortings, and refused all food, un-
til, as night drew on,we began to grow
a little superstitious lest the dogs grief
should presage some harm to the mas
ter. The next day, however, he grew
more reconciled, but only recovered
his spirits upon the return Of his mas
ter, whom he was ready to devour with
Joy. me loath's Con,panion.

The Globe base ball club benefit on Sat

THE COUNTY LEVY.
Figures which Show That the City Is Un-
fairy Treated.

TO The Editor q tie Register.
SIR:-Copsidersble has been said for and
against tie exhorbitant appropriation for
road and bridges l desire in behalf of the
citizens and taxpayers of the city Of Wheel
in, who constitute iv.-sixths OF the popula-
ton Of Ohio county, to beg space in your
paper for the following statement the official
truth Of which cannot be denied. In the
face of this statement, how can any COM
missioner of the seven city districts prop
erly represent his constituent BY voting
such heavy appropria ions for county roads
and briogesf AT the last meeting Of
the Board the President stated that
be was very desirous of the city supporting
her own poor. Does not the city proper. BY
this statement, support her own poor, the
county district poor, and besides contribute
from eight to ten thousand dollars per year
towards the couAty's roads and bridges and
detray all county expenses Of the govern.
ment2
1t is now plain why, as / stated in my
card Of January Tth, the President ap.
pointed the ommittee 10 suit his own views.
Between eleven and twelve hundred citizens
petitiored this Board TO reconsider their
&C n and reduce their appropriations, and
what was the result? They positively re-
fused TO listen to the appeal OF their con.
stituahts. We ask IN the name Of sll that
is Just, fair and truthful is it proper to toler-
ate such impositions longerf
But TO my statement: The total county
levy for the past FIVE years has been $780,
S07 IS, of which the county districts have
paid in Ss5,i3465. The amount appro-
priated for roads and bridges in the same
time is Sl04, ,362.SS from the general fund
and SIG, ,s45 from the contingent fund, or q
total of Sl2l ,20I Ss. which is jlst $50, ,063.-
% more than the entire county levy paid ~
the county districts
The original demand Of the Roads and
Bridges Committee this year was about S25,.
900, but through the preserving efforts Of
Messrs. Delbrugge, Picket, Boring and Peter
son, the sum was reduced to SIT ,050. But this
will undoubtedly cause the rate Of taxation
to be increased, as the above statement
shows that the county districts, paying in
not enough to meet their demands for
roads and bridges, contribute nothing what.
ever towards the various other items oi
county expense, namely Assessments,
births and deaths, bonds and sinking fund,
contingent poor fund, Poor House fund,
Court House and JAIL Court expenses, deaf
and dumb and blind, interest, luuacy, in.
quests, low library, misdemesnors, per
diems, printing and binding, sheritTs con-
mission, salaries, taxes refunded, water
rents, and witnesses and jurors, thus leav.
ing the seven city districts to meet entirely
these necessary items Of expense, the burden
Of which should be equitably divided.

though the Catholics of other cities have

hat Washington possesses the National

touches, has been raging since yesterday
morning. Itbegan by cannonsding the log

frightful fatalities are likely to result, as the
enemy are well armed and are deadly in aim.
