DOg-Days.
SE&

The appellation of dog-days, as ap-
piled to August's heated term" said a
prominent dog-fancier yesterday, prob
ably originated hundreds of years ago,
when droyes of dogs were kept in
oriental cities, with the idea that the
animals We're IA sanitary necessity, as
they consumed a large portion of the
household refuse. These dogs being
unsheltered during midsummer were
subject TO intense heat, which affects a
canine's brain very quickly, and sends
him off into a mild sort of tit. The ami
NAL then dashes around frantically,
making Il great deal of noise, and at
tracing considerable attention, but
usually doing no harm whatever. In
years past it was no uncommon sight in
Philadelphia for dog to dart through
the city, alarming the residents on every
side; but now it is a very rare thing. as
all superlluous dogtiesh is disposed of
by the dog-catchers, and those puppies
that are unmolested are generally
thought something of and well cared
for.
"A man who knows anything about
dogs can detect one of these spells, and
can check it quickly. The animal will
stick mis- tail between his legs, whine
piteously, and act as if startled. The
only remedy is to hold him under Il
hydrant, allowing the stream to flow
over the head, thereby cooling the
brain. All dogs are liable to be at.
tackled. particularly fine-bred dogs which
have been oyerexerted and overheated."

Ohio penitentiary, serving term foI
killing a man, is willing to swear that
he executed the celebrated "20S sos y

derer in the penitentiary will swear
to any sort of story to get out, and
if Foraker will make out the pardon
he can have any sort of a campaign

GOVERNOR FORAKER rather put his
foot i'm it in his Columbus speech last
Friday night, in charging that the
bodi.s of deceased prisoners in the
Ohio penitentiary had been skinned,
and their hides used in making canes
and walking sticks. All the parties
named by the Governor in connection
with the affair have made sworn state
ments denouncing the story as abso-
lutely false, while the Governor relies
upon the word of a convicted horse
thief, who expects to secure pardon
for furnishing evidence not otherwise
obtain able.
