Zg~Our esteemed brother of the Hampstead
(not Manchester) Enterprise, having had his fur
rubbed the wrong way little by The UNION, now
humps up his back and gives forth series OF
feline sounds that are extremely unbecoming in a
truly good man as he probably is. He says-does
this warm-haired -monger-that we are
"green-headed frog" an "idiot," Creature" and
sundry and divers other horrible things, simply
because we said he did not want the graves of
soldiers decorated on the Sabbath, deeming 1t
Dissertation of the day. This playful old donkey,
for whom we entertain the highest respect gets on
his hind legs and fairly brays himself hoarse over
the matter and devotes about half column of his
valuable space to instead of telling us and his
readers how he got to Hampstead from Manches-
ter, having first located in the latter place when
he jumped over the line from Pennsylvania. Did
the people of Manchester make it SO pleasant for
him that he had to leave, or did the Hampstead
ers, regarding him perfect jewel of an editor,
just come over, pick him up bodily and run off
with him when the other fellows were not looking2
We want all this explained and then We may have
something further to say about our truly good
brother, who has such high regard for the Sab
bath that he thinks placing garlands of flowers
upon the graves of brave men who fell in defense
of their country is not proper thing to do.

An Interview With Mr.. Talbot

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
American, in his letter in last Sundays edition,
reports the following interview with Hon. J. Fred.
C. Talbot, which we reprint without vouching
for its accuracy:
"Do you expect to return to Congress?" asked
an American representative Of ex-Congressman
Talbot yesterday.
Everything will be all right when the time
comes" replied the ex-member. 81 expect to
carry Baltimore county without the loss of a min
ute or the expenditure of dollar. There is no
need for me to 90 to the trouble of making fight.
can carry the county without doing anything
toward it. But that will not be enough. L must
have Hartford or Carroll to win, and 1 will be sat
isfied with either"
"What is all this talk of German opposing your
nomination 2"
"There is one thing you may depend upon"
replied Talbot, che will issue no proclamation
against my nomination. 1 guess when German
and come together we can strike balance with
ont much trouble"

g-A few days ago representative Of the
Washington Critic had an interview with Gen. B..
F. Butler on the present political outlook, in which
the Massachusetts statesman is representing as
saying that Cleveland is stronger with the peo-
pie than with the Democratic leaders. They must
stand by him for denomination. The Republican
party is live organization and will present a
solid front in 1888. Blaine will not be nominated.
John Sherman is the best Presidential timber for
them. Logan is good man, but would not run
so well. Senator Allison would be an excellent
candidate. 1t is too early to predict results. The
Republicans will have excellent fighting chance,
but Cleveland may possibly pull the laundering
Democracy through"

Dogs Furnish the Power for Machinery.
Baltimore Sun.

Mr.. George A. Russell, carriage bodymaker,
on Hillen street, has four employees who never
strike, do not want eight hours; have no desire
for an increase of wages; do not want to join the
Knights of Labor; never heard of T. " Powder
ly, and do not believe in arbitration. These en-
ployes nevertheless work like dogs, and they are
satisfied with board and lodging in return for their
services, being willing to find themselves in clothes.
Though they work the growler, they never send
out for beer. Mr.. Russell has circular and jig
saws and other machinery, and the motive power
is evolved from a large hollow wheel, eight feet in
diameter, which is revolved with an immense mo-
mentum by four large dogs, who work within the
Continuance q squirrel turns the whirligg of his
cage. Two of the dogs settlers, another is q
Newfoundland, while the fourth is mongrel of
powerful Frame 1t is not necessary to order the
animals into the Wheel They work with the
greatest willingness, the Newfoundland being espe-
cially ready. The moment movement is made
toward piece of machinery in the room overhead,
the dogs awake from their maps in the wheel room
and scamper into the contriyance Only three
are worked at time, and it is necassery to chain
one up to prevent crowding. Mr.. Russell says it
requires almost no attention to train dogs to do
his work. About ten per cent. of them will work
much harder than is good for their health if per-
mtted.

Will Power and Hydrophobia


month or two ago an editor in New York
who had been bitten by q mad dog warded off
hydrophobia by the mere exercise of his strong
will power. He determined that he would not
succumb, and after much horrible suffering he
succeeded. He is well man to-day. General
Beale, whose name is we'll known to the readers of
The American, passed through q similar ordeal.
When he was a young man he was surveyor gen.
eral in Southern California. He was bitten by a
mad wolf, and from this animal the rabies were
communicated. General Beale had no facilities
for treating the disease, but he determined, if pos
sble, to ward it off. The attack came. He had
the greatest aversion to water but the greater the
aversion, the more he forced himself to drink the
water. One morning he walked deliberately to a
spring and thrust his head into the water. He
was seized with an intense and almost uncontro.'
able desire to jump and scream and run away,
but the power of his mind was sufficient to hold
him, and he repeated the performance until the
swelling in the throat subsidized, and until all
traces Of the terrible affection passed away. He
has never suffered from 1t since, although it hap
pened quarter of q century ago. This will
power is the secret of all the socalled faith
1t will sometimes work wonders but, as gen.
eral thing, it is best to call in physician. There
are very few people whose minds are thorough
masters of their bodies.

Rich Men Who Ride in Street Cars.

Ne,o York Mail and Erpress.
Few of the wealthiest men use carriages in 60
ing to and from the depots. They take the street
cars and send their baggage by the cheapest ex-
press. Some years ago nearly all of our customers
out of the city always took hotel coupe or car
rage both coming and going. 1t only cost them
couple of dollars, and that was considered cheap
then for the style they had in the way of bright
and handsome turnout. Now prices are down
considerably and many of the depots can be reach
ed in rstcass style double horse carrage) for 81
and $l.5O single passenger. Yet with all these
close scaling, bankrupt prices, the customers
evince economical desire to take the street
cars. Think of it. Men worth four or five mil
lions selling their gripbags and coming mile or
80 for five cents. Such thing fifteen and TWEEN
ty years ago was rarely done. Even hundred
thousand dollar man disdained to use anything
but the carriage. But all this applies principally
to men alone. Of course, with their families
they muster up courage to pay the carriage tariff.
Yet have known several instances where the en-
tire family went to the depot in the street car.
