The chief significance of the vote on the
contested election case of Hurd against Ro-
meis is to be found in its bearing on the tar
iff bill Forty-nine Democrats voted with
the Republicans to keep Hurd out and Ro-
meiS in. A few of them may have been in
fiuenced to do so by the the merits of the
case; but the great majority, if not every
one, voted as they did because the adj
mission of Hurd would supply the free trad
ers with one more vote for their tariff bill.
They were protection Democrats who have
no sympathy with Mr. Morrsons tariff tin
kering, and have no notion of helping to pass
it. There are enough of them in connection
with the Republicans, to defeat the bill, with
a considerable number of votes to spare.

Cannot workingmen understand that they
are taking bread from their own mouths, and
money out of their own pockets, by such be-
havior as they have INDUCED in recently :?
No prejudice should blind them to fact so
important to their own interest.

The Esullimau Dog.

The lirsi thing an Esquimau dog of this
; region does when liberated is to go "nosing"
around tn see what he can find TO eats and
for this reason the natives never unharness
them Til after the islun is completed and
the siedge!oad Of effects is safely stored
away where. these animals cannot reach it.
The first in;imation that had that things
were not going properly rs result of my
bad translation was the fact that apparently
some 500 Of The twelve dogs were fighting
over reindeer ham that some wedge nosed
brute had gotten out from under the rein
deer skins thrown over it. We concentra-
ted for the relief Of the ham, and with butt
end of the whip, snowstics, and sledge-
Stats rising and falling like orchestra batons
to the music underneath, and occasionally
whackng each other over the knuckles, we
managed 10 save The greater part Of the
bone.
These Esquimau dogs are also very much
like cavalry horses in that the first night
out from permanent post or camp they
are liable to stampede and return thereto,
the difference being that the horses gener-
ally disappear in body while it is only q
few of the cunning old foxes that
nave learned = trlch Ol pldSlDS Iialup
tha, do so among tho dogs. Having
taken q little reindeer meat 10 stay their
s,omachs for the return journey, four Of the
liberated whelps started home, as better
place to be than on a s|edge journey, and
although we managed to seduce one within
catching distance by tempting display of
the reindeer bone he had helped to clean
with which tool We beat him over the head
when captured,) The other three got away,
aud we continued the rest Of our journey
with nine dogs 70 prevent dogs from thus
returning the dng-driver ties fore leg TO
| the body in such way that locomotion is
quite luborious, aud AS it is labor that the
dog is trying to avoid he does so by going
TO sleep IN Il suow.dciit.
One Of the greatest annoyances OF dogs
wandering away in this manner is not alto
geiher in ihe loss OF their services, but also
in The loss of the dogs sometimes by prowi.

The Speech of the Eyes.


Prof. H. Magnas recently delivered in Ber-
lin II lecture on "rhe Speech of the Eyes"
First re showed how various thoughts and
emotions may find their expression through
the eyes, how rage. joy, sadness sympathy,
all may be indicated by one look, and how
a question may he asked or be replied to
simply by one scarcely observable move
ncnt OF the eye. But the most interesting
part oi his lecture was Il point with which
many Il ply scian may not be acquainted,
not from ignorance, but simply because he
has never given the subject any thought,
viz, the fact that.all the various expressions
of which the eye is capable are not at all
,nat'o by the eye itself, L. G., by the eyeball,
but by the movements of neighboring parts
The eye itself may he stationary, not tho
least motion may be observed in it, and yet
the raising Of the lids expresses our surprise,
balf.cosiug them together with contraction
OF the brow indicates our displeasure, and
peculiar abrillar. like movement of the lids,
the orblutilaris palpabrerum, and the parts
around the nose together form what we are
in the habit of calling "a merry twinkle. !"
Many 81 one who will read these lines will
at ouce acknowledge that such Is the case,
aud that the facts are as stated, but at the
same time he will acknowledge that he had
never thought about it, and had never ina
ginel that as all the manifold expressions
which we ascribe to the eye-the mirror of
the scul-the eye itself has no share. When
~ criminal has his character pictured In bis
eyes, it is not they that tell us the moral
depravty of the man, but the play of neigh.
boring muscles, which perhaps for years, al
ways obeying the impulse from the brain,
form together the group We call physiogno-
