letter from Massachusetts young
man, who says that he sees that Bur-
lington has one thousand more women
than men. He further says that he is

When tue Bsyard- Kelley correspondence
was under consideration in the Senate last
Monday, Senator Plumb said =
The question of religious liberty was not
involved. The point, in his opinion, was
purely a social one. Those diplomatic OIL
fieials had no duties to perform except 80
cial duties; aud Mr.. Plumb, for one, hopeo
the incident would serve to call the attention
Of the country to the tact that the diplo-
matte service was merely ornamental one
If. indeed it could be called even ornamen-
tai Mr., Plumb criticised published
statement attributed to Mr.. Kelley and pur-
porting to have been made after his reslgna-
tion of the Italian mission. That statement
was to the effect that he had only said Of
the Italian government what he would say
of the American government-that 1t was
COVER ment founded upon gross ano
bloody violation Of public right. When Mr
Plumb had read that statement in the news
napers he came to the conclusion that per
son uttering such an opinion was not fit T.
renreseut the American government amy
where. The whole diplomatic arrangement
of the present day, however, in Mr.. Plumb
opinion. was antiquated and unnecessary
and he hoped the committee would recon
mend to the Senate that it be abolished

Muzzle the Dogs.

There is, at this time, almost an epidemic
of hydrophobia in northern New Jersey.
The terrible and agonizing experiences of
Newark today, may be ours tomorrow if
ample safeguards are not thrown about this
community.
Our streets are filled day after day, with
dogs which terrorize at least four-ffths of
our citizens. An untamed bull roaming at
wild along our avenues is not as dangerous
as dog, because his coming would enable
the terrorized citizens to get to plac"
of safety; but dog moves so stealthily that
he is at your heels and has bitten you before
you are scarcely aware of his presence.
The City Council will be asked to pass an
ordinance compelling the owners of all dogs
to muzzle them before allowing them to run
at large upon the Streets A rabid dog may
inoculate score of people with rabies
before he can be killed and the danger
which constantly menaces our citizens is
so imminent as to demand heroic pre-
cautionary treatment.
| IF dogs are securely muzzled they cannot
bite and as long as they cannot bite we are
safe both from being bitten and also from
hydrophobia of all deaths, the death from
hydrophobia is the most to be dreaded. The
distortions OF the face and tho contortions of
the body make the most appalling and heart
reudng scene ever witnessed by mortal man.
Did you ever see the eyeballs of hydropho-
bic patient burning in their sockets Did
you ever hear the agoniziug groans and
deafening screams of man in the throes
of dissolution from rabies? 1t is pleasure,
yea i. is a luxury to die from cholera, yellow
or typhoid fever as compared to the death
from hydrophobia.
II citizen wished to amuse himself with
scorpions on his own premises, he has the
civic authority to said enjoyment but wher
be exposes his neighbor TO the agencies Of
death, his neighbor can reasonbly demand
protection from the properly constituted
authorities. Dogs running at large upor
our streets are dangerous, whether mad o.
not mad, and the only condition upon whicl
| they should be granted the range of tb'
streets, is that they be safely
muzzled.

Shall We Meet Again ?

The following from the pen .of the late
George D. Prentice was regarded as meritor-
ious when it first appeared, aud age seems
to have but added to its worth
The Cat of death is inexorable. No appeal
for relief from the great law which dooms us
to dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves
the forest; and the flowers that bloom'
W ther and fade in day have NO Trailer hold
upon life than the mightiest monarch that
over shook the earth with his footsteps.
Generations of men will appear and disappear
as the grass, and the multitude that thronl
the world to-day will disappear as footsteps
| on the shore Men seldom think ol the grea
event Of death until the shadow falls atros
their own pathway, hitting from tbsir 9xs
J -
the sunlight Of their existencs Death =
the antagonist Of life. and the tboag'tof the
tomb is the skeleton of all fsasts, We do
not want to go through the dark valley,
although its dark passage may lead to par
adise we do not want to 20 down into dark
graves, even with princes for bed-fellows.
In the beautiful dra q . m, the hope OF
immortality, SO eloqueutly uttered by the
death-devoted Greek, finds deep repose IN
every thoughtful soul. When about to yield
his life a sacrifice to fate, his Clemanthe
asks if they should meet again to which he
responds II have asked that dreadful
question OF the hills that are eternal-of th'
clear streams that flow foreveF-of start
among whose fields of azure my raised spirit
have walked in glory. All are dumb. Blu
as gaze upon thy living face, feel tina
there is something in love that mantle
through its beauty that cannot who'll
perish. We shall meet again, Clemanthe.
