\ TRIO OF DOGS.
CONDUCT WHICH SHOWS A SENSE OF
MORAL RESPONSIBILITY.

CONDUCT WHICH SHOWS SENSE OF
MORAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Baltimore American.
The sense of moral responsibility in
the brute creation has been variOusly
estimated by students of natural history,
but its real extent is almost as much
matter of doubt as the brute's intellect
ual contingent. In many cases animals
are quite as ready to obey the Ten Com
mendments as their so-called superiors
are. At Fort Monroe there were three
dogs having as wide difference in their
modes of ethics as could be found among
human beings. Two of the three crea-
lures, greyhounds, knew that it was
wrong to steal, but still they stole at
every opportunity; and no amount of
punishment could make them resist their
natural disposition toward kleptomania.
They understood each other and worked
together perfectly. Even after full
meal one would steal loaf of stale bread
and give it to the other to bury, while
the first culprit would fawn and smile
and do its utmost to occupy the atten-
ton of its master.
On one occasion. Ada, the slyer of the
two, lifted quarter of lamb from
neighboring dinner table so quickly and
deftly, that not soul about the house
had any suspicion of where it had gone;
a moment later she was entertaining the
owners of the lamb, while her cOmpan-
ion, Dexter, was hard at work secreting
the plunder. They were simply expert
thieves, who knew all about their busl-
ness, but had parted with conscience,
and snapped their fingers at moral re-
sponsibility. The other dog was of the
setter type, and was honest under all
temptations. She accompanied the par
ty in grabbing expeditions. However
hungry she might be, she would guard
faithfully the beefsteak bait left in her
charge. On one occasion, after days
grabbing. she was told to pick up the
meat and carry it home. This she did,
stopping and laying it down whenever
the party stopped. On reaching home
she was told to eat it, and she swallowed
it in moment. What less than sense
of right and wrong can account for such
action?

GENERAL LEE AND sTIMULANTs.

From an anecdotal and personal article
on General Lee After the War" by Mrs.
Margaret J. Preston in the June Century,
we quote the following: He had the
gentlest way possible of giving counsel
and administering rebuke. | remember
hearing him say, in presence where such
testimony was worth more than dozen
temperance lectures: Men need no slim
ulant; it is something, | am persuaded,
that they can do without. When | went
into the field, at the beginning of the war,
a good lady friend Of mine gave me two
sealed bottles of very superb French
brandy. | carried them with me through
the entire campaign; and when met my
friend again, after all was over, gave
her back her both bottles of brandy, with
the seals mbroken. 1t may have been
some comfort to me to know that | had
them in case of sudden emergency, but
the moment never came when needed to
use them"

High on the granite wall the builders. tOiling,
Heayed up the massive blocks and slabs to

With sswart and Streaming brows and straining

Under tine summers blaze.
And higher yet amid the cnillS of autumn,
Tier upon tier and arch on arch arose;
And still creDt upward cOldly, wedry, slowly,
Mid winters SiIiing SHOWS
From stage to stage up springs the master
builder,
Inst uctiug, cheering. eliding here and there;
Scanning with scrutiny severe and rigid
Each luSty labOrerS share.
Anon his voice to those most distant shouting,
Through inc hoarSe trumpet makes his orders

Or utterS words like these. 10 rouse and hearten:
Build well, my men, build well!
"The ropes are Strohg and new and sound the
pulleys;
Tne derrfck's beams are equal to the strain:
Une' ring are the Level, line and plummet;
Let naught be done in valid!
Build that these walls to coming generations
Your skill, your strength, your EithtulneSS shall

THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1889.

Mrs. JULIA WARD HOWE celebrated
the seventeen anniversary of her birth
day on the 9th ult The two nOblest
feminine names in the history of Amer
lean literature are those of Mrs. Howe
and Harriet Beecher Stowe, both living
and well and both respected to a degree
few women have reached.
Mrs. Stowe gave us Uncle Toms
Cabin" and Mrs. Howe gave US the
Battle Hymn of the Republic " Asso-
ciated with her name will always be the
sonorous and thrilling words of the poem
SAYS a writer in the Boston Transcript:
With poetic vision she saw the truth of
that great cause, and the moral issues in
vOlved i'll it. To her that was an army
of knights. mustered in the chivalry of
Christian knighthoOd to fight for man.
And in that daT of generous impulse, when
men left home and wife and children, all
that they held most dear, to fight for
cause which all saw could not triumph
except by the emancipation of the slave,
the fervid fancy of the pOeteSS pictured
what the historian is prone to overlook,
and which in this time of peacefully pro-
crossing materialism can only be recalled
by those who felt the glow of 1861, or who
learn it from such verse as Mrs. HOwe's.
From the view of the camps, where others
saw but military precision in city OF
tents. she drew the inspiration of the
lines:
have seen him in the watchfires of hundred
circlng camps;
They have builded him an altar in the evening
dewS and dampS:
| can read his righteous sentence by dlm ana
flaTing lamps,
His day is marching on.
have read a fiery gospel, writ in FURNISHED rows
of steel:
"As We deal with my contemners, so with you my
grace snail DEAL
Let the hero. born OF woman, crush the serpent
with his heel
Since God is marching on.
In this poem, short but great, Mrs.
Howe seemed both poet and prophet; like
those of old whose lips were touched by
coal from the altar of prophecy. In all
her poems, but more especially those writ
ten during the war; she manifested the
possession of that rare power of setting
ideas to the melody of words which marks
the true poet. This charm is especially
conspicuous in that other favOrite poem
of war time beginning
Weave no more silks, We Lyons looms,
To deck our girls fOr gay delights;

And solo ar.at1A t1A nitflT

SOME of the Democratic newspapers
are beginning to talk about Mr.. Cleve-
land as "the Moses of tariff reform in
1892" Thereupon the Ne,o York I1ade-
pendent, which supported Mr.. Cleveland
in 1884, but opposed his reelection, says
"the best use that the Democrats can
"make of Mr.. Cleveland is to let him
"enjOy the quietude to which the people
"have retired him. His days as public
man are effectually ended"

PRESERVING FENCE POSTS.

Waldo F. Brown suggests in Farmers
Recie,c that the end posts, which must
bear the strain of stretching the wires,
be set with concrete. 1t will take but a
few cents worth of cement to a post,
and will make it perfectly firm at the
bottom, and also more durable than II
set in the clay. 1t is almost impossible
to set posts firm enough so that they
will not yield to the strain when the
land is wet and soft, but by digging a
hole fifteen inches square and pounding
it full of coarse cement grout around the
post it will give base enough to the post
to keep it in place.

A WRITER in the NeC York EceniRg
Posi- assumes that manufactured gas will

made from soft coal slack at the rate of

West Chester, Pa, promises gas at six or

REPORTS from all over the Northern

THE NelC York Times says neither of
"the great political parties holds any
"clearly defined position " on the subject
of prohibition and liquor legislation
The assertion is not true. The Repub-
lican party in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York, and a number of other States, is
outspoken in favor of restricting the
liquor traffic by license and local option.
This fact is so well known that the paper
which questions it will only subject it
self to ridicule.

THE best medical writer's claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application, and
one that will. by its own action, reach all
the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh
during the past few years Obliges us TO
admit that only one remedy has COM
pletely met these conditions, and that is
Ely'S Cream Balm. This safe and pleas
ant remedy has mastered catarrh as
nothing else has ever done, and both ply
siciaus and patients freely cOncede this
fact. The more distressing symptoms
quickly yield to it. May % 50.

THE TREsPASS BILL,

There is wide spread feeling OF OBJ
lection to Girrard's trespass bill, PASSED
by the Legislature, which makes it q
criminal offence for nly person to per-
mit his stock to Craze upon the lands of
another. The penalty for violation Ct
the provisions of the Act is fine not 10
exceed $500, or imprisonment in the
county ill not to exceed six months, or
by both such fine and imprisonment.
Besides which the owner of such tress-
passing stock is liable for double the
amount of damage done by said live
stock wlilc being unlaWfully herded or
Grazed on the lands of another.
1t is claimed that the measure, if it
becomes q law by the signature of the
Governor, will be the source of much
expen sive litigation, that it is WRONG in
principle and that it is intended for the
especial berefit of wealthy corporations.
Petitions are being circulated in various
parts Of the State praying the Governor
to veto the bill. The Reveille says:
1.-THE only persons it will benefit, will
lie the Sheriff, Justlces and lawyers"
