Great Dogs for Ducks.

Like the Newfoundland, the Chesa-
peake Bay dog is still to be found
with the same capacity and aptitude
for his calling-in several strains,
sizes, coats and colors, long-haired'
short-haired and curly coated; red,
brown, or yellow, or sedge grass in
color Having gunned on one OF the
choicest shores OF the Gunpowder
river for more than twenty years, and
consequently outlived many early pref
udices, can say that by far the most
satisfactory dog for the true sports
man is the medium-si2ed "otter-coat-
ed" dead grass color, the shade OF
YOUR shooting suit. This settles the
question of color advantage. They
do not carry dead water to shake over
YOU like any long haired animal, and
consequently suffer less from cold
themselves, having fine fur next the
hide. They lare powerful, fast swim
mers, with scent equal to any dog OF
the best breed. The large dog tires
quicker, is hard to keep out of sight,
and of course is in the way about the
blind. The endurance OF these dogs
as a breed and their intelligence for
their business Is almost beyond be-
lief. But they are unsatisfactory for
apy other purpose, they know duck
duck and nothing else. Forest and

MAKING AN ETCHING.
It IL . Delicate Undertaking and Requires
Master-Hand.

No branch of art within the past few
years has attracted such universal at
tention as etching The art OF etching
is not, as is popularity supposed, new
invention. but the revival OF an art in
which Rembrandt and Albert nuFar
exceled. The process by which an
etching is made is both delicate and
difficult. 1t is accomplished by coat
ing copper plate with preparation
of wax, upon which the artist traces
with . sharp instrument. called the
needle or point, the lines Of his picture
The plate is then immersed in acid,
which eats into the lines laid
bare by the needle, and the
acid bath is repeated. The
lines when sufficiently bitten are
stopped up with fine French varnish.
This process has been repeated more
than fifty times in some plates before
the proper effect Of light and shade
was obtained Etching Is really q
drawing on a plate, thus giving the
genuine work Of the artist as much ef-
feet as in an oil painting. 1t is this
absolute quality of art possessed by
ctchings, as distinguished from the
purely mechanical methods Of engray-
ing, which gives to them their value.
The ink used In printing is thick; the
plate is warmed by placing it on a
heated marble slab SO that the ink will
flow freely enough to fill up all the
lines. After linking the plate is rubbed
clean. leaving the ink only in the lines,
except where certain effects Of light
and shade may be desired, not repre-
sented by the lines These can be OBJ
tained by the skill of the printer, who
can produce beautiful effects by his
manipulation Of the ink upon the plate.
There is a great difference in plates
in this respect, some requiring much
more skill to print than others. After
the plate is ready the paper, having
first been dampened is placed on it
and then covered with felt, The press
consists of an iron bed. perfectly true
and level for'the plate to rest on. and
an iron roller which passes over the
plate, eXerting great pressure, 50 that
the paper is forced into the lines Of
the plate. After each impression the
plate is cleaned and linked again, and
| the same process gone through with.
so that the printing of etchings can
not be hurried. TO insure uniformity,
a sample print is before the printer to
.ook at. This j. either printed by the
etchcr Or superintrnded by him. 50

! print etchings that less than half a

WHEN SOMETHING is WRONG.

High over the scented stacks of hay
And the shining rows of grain
A bird is thrilling, while yet he may,
The tender heart OF the gracious day
With JOY by mis- rapturous strain.
But what cares the girl in the country lane
For the bird or the birds glad hymn'-
Since never again, though her life be long,
From her thirsty heart will the fount OF song
Gush over her sweet lips brim.
Look under look over and far away:
The earth like queen wears gold,
And royal banners float over the Sky
From gray cloud.castles wide and high,
OF purple and crimson fold
The sun, with his golden censer swung
Low over the glowing West,
Burns incense TO God, and the flames rise
bright,
Flooding the world with a sweet soft light
Baptizing it unto rest
But what cares the girl for the setting sun
The glory OF earth or sky?
The glory of womanhood -love-tO-day
From the sky of her young lie faded away.
And she only cares to die.
All! Autun n is golden and spring is green,
And summer is sweet and long;
But what care we, in our discomfort
For the earth's adornment, hue, or scent,
When something in life is wrong?

Lectures and locution.

Mrs. S. NJ. w. Owen, who is identified
with the Womans' Christian Aid Society, &C.
companied by Miss Ida Gray. Of San Fran
cisco. paid Dayton a visit the first Of this
week, and entertained the people here in a
very pleasant manner. Mrs. Owen delivered
her nrst lecture at The school house last Sun
day evening. and Monday and Tuesday even.
ings she lectured at the Court house.
Wednesday evening Miss Gray gave an en-.
tertainment, which consisted Of elocution
and singing. The young lady has an excel.
lent voice and is well up in the art of elocu
ton. Her audience was an appreciative one,
as was evinced by the hearty applause ex
tended her. Her rendition of the "Fngi.
neer's Warning" was given in such a
touching manner as to bring tears to the eyes
Of many. while her comic pieces convulsed
the listeners with laughter. The ladies left
here Thursday morning for Silver City, where
they remain for few days, and then, after
visiting other points in the State, continue on
their journey East. doing good in their own
quiet and gentle way.

The Chamber of Torture

Is the apartment to which the unhappy suf.
ferer from inflammatory rheumatism is con
fined. II, ere the crisis Of pain is reached,
that fine preventive, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, is used by persons Of a rheumatic
tendency, much unnecessary suffering is
avoided. Nervines, anodynes and sedatives,
while having none but specific effect, are
yet very desirable at times. Yet can they
produce no lasting effect upon rheumatism,
because they have no power to eliminate from
the blood the rheumatic virus. Hostelter's
Stomach Bitters does this, and checks at the
outset disease which, il allowed to gain
Roadway, it is next to impossible to dislodge
or to do more than relieve. Rheumatism, it
should be remembered, is a disease with a
fatal tendency from its proneness to attack
the heart. A resort to the Buffers should,
therefore. be prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney
complaint, malaria and nervousness are re.
1ieved by it.

points of interest in and around the city.
There are two places visited which have
not been mentioned. These are the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing, where all our
national and bank notes are made, also The
U. S. revenue stamps, and the U. S. Navy
Yard. However, shall not attempt to de.
scribe either Of them, but will close after
giving brief statement Of my visit to John
town, that City of DISTINCTION
l left Washington on the o:3o A. NJ. train
and arrived at Johnstown at 1880 that night.
1t would be useless for me TO attempt to
describe the fearful havoc wrought by that
memorable food. ! wish only to say: The
first thing that attracted my attention just
before entering the city, was workmen build
ing bridges. | was told that these men
were employed day and night working at
night by electric light. Each bridge had a
separate plant. The men were living in box
cars, which were supplied with stoves, beds,
etc. People still live in tents, and the as.
pect gives person the impression that an
army is being quartered there. l found
some difficulty in obtaining lodgings for the
night, but finally succeeded in getting a
bed in temporary lodging house occupying
the spot where that large brick hotel Stood,
in which sixty persons persisted. They
charged me the modest sum of $3.50 for my
bej, but could not complain. In the morn.
ing l looked up Owen Davis, brother Of
our friend Dick, and through his kindness |
was enabled to see the sights in the shortest
time. The only thing. that resisted the del
uge was large stone bridge. Standing on
it and viewing the large area of waste, one
wonders that more lives were not lost, large
as the number really was. A large number
of men were still at work clearing away the
debris. Trees three feet in diameter, cars.
coaches, locomotives, sections of railroad
track, telegraph poles, iron railings--every
thing ginable-twisted and piled high in
the air. was still to be seen. The work Of
clearing away had been gong steadily on all
Summer, and soldiers and mounted police
were guarding all unclaimed property to see
that it was not stolen. l saw two dead
bodies taken out of cellar, but they were
unrecognizable, in fact it was not possible to
tell whether they were bodies OF human be-
ings or animals. Taking bird 's.eye view
of that city Of $4,000 inhabitants, which
stood there before the flood, should judge
there was not more than one quarter Of it
left standing. They are making rapid pro-
gress in building, but the place will never
again be what it was. After seeing all that
| cared to here l boarded the train for
Evansburg, where found the Davis family.
also Billy Owens parents. l had a de-
lightful visit here in the heart of the Allie
ghany mountains, and then returned to my
home in Wisconsin. III. SHIRLEY.
