The Dog Crusade.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Last weeks papers chronicled the sad death of MT. David Miles of Milford, ,-gored to death by his valuable pet bull Is this hor rible death not worse and more frequent than to be bitten by a dog supposed to be mad, but which not always results in hydro phobia? Why does not Humanity vs. Dogs'' rush into print with a savage article declar- ing bulls to be Gan absolute curse' and call ing for their indiscriminate eXtermination all over the country?
 Ours is free country, and man has as
 much right to keep dog as bull and is responsible under our laws for damages re- sulting from trespasses of his dog. If 8 dog kills sheep and chickens and cannot be cured he ought to be killed, but no dog properly cared for and kept in surveillance and under subjection will run mad. There are dogs of low degree in every city known to be con should be put out of the way by the police, but licensed dogs should not be treated as vagabonds. A poor man cannot afford to pay more than S1 license yearly, and his dog is just as valuable to him as if the general public valued it at $100 or both sexes. Property in the dog is recogniz- ed in the higher courts and their owners have rights just as sacred as those conceded to the owners of cattle, horses and swine.
 The only question then is how to best put all dogs under subjection to the law. This will bear discussion and is subject of i'm portance.
 Sensational journalism engineers the cru- sade against dogs by picking out the isolated cases of thousands of communities, and by e1travagant coloring, pandering to the nor bid tastes of mankind and exciting needless alarm.
 There are 5,0OO,OOO of cattle in our land, yet we do not read of every wild steer and every mad bull and the deaths they cause; if we did, the peaceful cattle would become 8 terror to our infamed imaginations. It is time to look at these things in a common sense light D.

phalt and wood. He reports as the result of
 these observations that traffic seeks asphalt pavement in preference to others. Of two streets in St. Louis, parallel, of equal width, and neither having any other advantage, the one paved with asphalt had a daily traffic of one hundred and three tons to each foot of width, while that paved with granite had only seven tons to each foot. In regard to falls, the standard of comparison was the average number of miles travelled for each fall of a horse. On asphalt horse trav- eled five hundred and eighty three miles for each fall, on granite four hundred and thir- teen miles and on wood two hundred and seventy-twe miles. Asphalt, therefore, gives a surer foothold to horses about in the ratio of four to three. Falls on the knees were much more frequent on granite, and Cap tain Greene attributes this in part to the width of the granite blocks, about five inches, which he thinks too great to allow proper footing for the horses. The best width, in his opinion, is three inches. Falls on the launches were more numerous on as- phalt than on granite. This he attribu tes to the sudden pulling up and turning of the borcos

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The article by General Mcclellan in the January Harper's on "The Militia and the Army is particularly interesting. General Mcclellan was 8 strong believer in the mill tia, and his own experience at the beginning of the civil war taught him the necessity of preparing for war in time of peace. And he was not one of those optimists who think that this country will never be forced to fight again. In his article are pointed out some of the possible causes of war which in the future may threaten the United States, as follows: The nearness of the fortified naval stations atHalifax the Be1mudas Nassau and Jamaica: trouble with Cuba, Canada and Mexico; complications concerning the Panama or Nicaragua Canal; the Indian question; internal dissensions growing out of "social- ism, atheism and anarchy" and resulting in riots or insurrection. To meet every possible emergency, it is urged that a strong militia ought to be organized in each State, the whole force to consist of thirty regiments of heavy artillery, 36,000 men; twenty two reg
 iments of cavalry, 2,200 men; three hun dred and thirty-two battalions of infantry,
 222, 300 men, a total of 260, 500 men.
 General Nc Clellan would have been very liberal with the militia. He argued that the national government should supply, free of
 cost, all the arms, ammunition and equip ments, service uniforms for officers and men, all necessary camp equipage, medical stores and ambulaRces, instruments for band and field music, requisite transportation and ra- tions for officers and men when the troops are called out for such instruction the government specifies But the individual States, he thought, should provide the pay of officers and men when called out for in- structien, and should also provide armories with the necessary furniture and the grounds for the camp of instruction. A condition of the aid rendered by the United States should be that the infantry and cavalry should pass at least ten days each year in suitable camp of instruction and that the ar tillery should pass at least the same time in permanent works or at ether points where they can receive instruction in handling heavy guns and their other duties.
 The easiest and most plausible and foroi- ble objection to all this is that it will cost & great deal General Mcclellan disposed of this objection as fol1ows 'Whatever ob- jection may be offered to the expenditure required to perfect such an organization of the national guard can be met by the simple statement of the fact, proved so often in our own history, that our habitual economy in time of peace has always been far mere than eounterbalanced by the consequent unduly heavy cost of preparing suddenly for war" This is the plain, unvarnished truth.

Holding the Breath.

From the Herald of Health.
 Deep breathing and holding the breath is an item of importance. Persons of weak vitality find uninterrupted succession of deep and rapid respiration so distressing that they are discouraged from persevering in the exercise. Let such persons take into the lungs much air as they can at breath and hold it as long as they can; they will find grateful sense of relief in the whole abdominal region. Practice will increase the ability to hold the breath and the capacity of the lungs. After time the art may be learned of packing the lungs. This is done by taking and holding the long breath and then forcing more air down the trachea by swallows of air. The operation may be de- scribed by that of fsh's mouth in water To those who have never learned it will be surprising to what an extent the lungs may be packed. Caution at first is needful, but later practice will warrant large use of the treatment The whole thoraaic and abdomi- nal cavities will receive immediate benefit. and continuance, with temperance in eating and good air and right exercise, will bring welcome improvement.

The recent talk about the poverty of Louis Kossuth, writes we'll informed correspond ent and personal friend of the Hungarian statesman, is altogether mistaken. Kossuth realized a good deal from his lectures in Eng land many years ago, and has enough to live on. His wife also had some property. His two sons have been thoroughly educated and one of them, Francis, is superintendent of sulphur mines at Cesana, having charge of 2, 300 men. Louis, the elder, is an engineer
 and has been living with his father at Turin
 and receiving good income from his profes-
 sion Ca salary of $6,000) Under date of
 September t3 last Mme Kuttkay, sister of
 Kossuth, wrote to the correspondent quoted:
 'sMy brother is remarkably well. The brac- ing mountain air has restored his strength to
 such degree that he walked one day tWen- ty-six kilometers-usually from eight to ten
 every day. His memory is remarkable and his spirits much better than ever since he left Hungary" December 4 she wrote again:

The Iowa courts have made an important
 decision regarding the civil rights of colored
 people. A negro who was refused admission to place of amusement because of his color appealed to the law, when the Circuit court
 held that it did not appear from the aver ments that plaintiff had any legal right to enter the place of amusement. The Supreme court affirms this ruling and says: ''The act complained of by the plaintiff was the with drawal by the defendants, as to him, of the offer which they had made to admit him, or | to contract with him for admission. They l had the right to do this, as to him or any | other member of the public. This right is | not based upon the fact that he belongs to a | particular race, but arises from the consider ation that neither he nor any other person \ could demand as a right, under the law, that the privilege of entering the place be accord 1 ed to bi1n.''

over the possibilities of ceramic deco
