for he is a clothing cutter. But he did not show
any sense on THURSDAY. He brought Snow"

into the gutter, but Snow brought it back in
his teeth o his tipsy owner
Then the dog put his paws on the mans body
and snaried aud snapped, and grJwled and
barked at every one VINO came near the sense

man Regan came along AMI seized McEvoV to
raise him. Snow" few at him ciously,
Regain took one or two backward steps ami re-
dected.
Men who looked on called Good dog. good
dog, ," and tried to coax SNOW away, but he
was no more to be cajolei than scared At last
some one lassOed him with a rope.
Regain got McEvoy on ms feet and took him
TO the West Thirtieth street station house,

long golden curls, says the New York Recorder,

"Iwant to det my curls tut OFF,

customers who were present, and said:
why, my child. do you want to have your
pretty curs cut off. Does your mother know
Of thisn
NO" she replied, but I'm going to give
mamma the money det for the turls"
But why do you want to do this, my child?"

yesterday she would like to have IS to nay the
doctor, and she needs medicine, and ., we
need SO many things for my title sister and
myself, and the man what keeps a hair store on
our corner said he would div me s. for my

You may well suppose we were deeply
touched by the child'5 recital. / did not tut

Successful experiments with long dis
lance telephones in the vicinity of Boston
within the past few weeks have rails ID the
question as to how long before it will be
possible TO telephone from Boston to Lon
dom Inventor Gorhann Gray devised
the line upon which these experiments have
been made and he declares that 1t is OF
only perfectly practicable so to construct
a wire as TO get more rapid aud reliable
telsgraphing With saunders in place Of disls
but 1t is also practicable to telephone on it
through the Atlantic at a cost for cable far
less than the present cable. and at one
tenth Of the weight and consequent break
ing strain. IL has been discovered that the
use Of copper is not absolutely necessary.
Whom properly shaped iron wire has been
proved TO be as reliable conductor, and its
tensile strength is greater. About 500 miles
of this wire is now in use in this country.
o. enc wire 100 miles In lengths portion of
which passes through the water, telephone
reproduction is always clear even in whis-
pers. In England, where telephoning is
bad on account Of the dampness, this kind
Of wire has proved a signal success. In
ventor Gray also says that a plan is under
confederation for laying such cables, and
the subject is now before Mr. John W.
Mackay. Very likely the mine magnate
will start such q cable as it would give him
an excellent and convenient method of

When the 4-inch rapid firing gun for the
navy, fitted with the Dashiel breech mech-
anism, was given a test for rapidity of fire
at the naval ordnance proving ground at
Indian Head, the service charge Of brown
powder was used, and the gun
was fired in salvos of five
rounds each. Five shots were first fired in
twenty-six seconds, the second five in
twenty-five seconds, and the third five in
seventeen seconds. This latter record is
believed to be about 40 per cent. better than
the best record made abroad with gun of
the same caliber. And the Dashiel breech
mechanism worked in an entirely salts
factory manner. At the same time the
first Of the two 10-inch guns for the after

Statistics for Farm srs.

The third party ticket in Ohio is not
arousing the enthusiasm among the farmers
it was thought it would by the demagogue
leaders of it. The farmers. though they are
chronic complainers, know on which side
their bread is buttered. Their condition is
far from being as bad as those who are try
ing to lend them away from their old party
moorings tell them it is.
Col. Robert Z. Doan, member of congress
who resides at Wilmington, Clinton county
Ohio, made a speech at the Washing
ton county court house recently which had
paralyzing effect upon the third partyites.
He had been studying the condition Of the
farmers and making comparisons bet Eeen
it and the condition of business and profess
sional men. He gave his audience the
result of his investig ations in the following
brief, but very comprehensive, statement:
Thirty-nine out of every forty lawyers,
sixty-ono out of every sixty-two bankers,
ninety-two out of every ninety three mer-
chants, eighty-seven out of every eighty
eight manufacturers and capitalists, and
ninety-nine out OF every one hundred in all
other professions and trades die in poverty
and bankruptcy, while on the other hand
l49 out or every lou Farmers Ole surrounded
with wealth. comfort and plenty.
The foregoing, according to the report of
the meeting, produced profound silence
And it was we'll calculated to dose. 1t left
no room for the demagogues to tell the
farmers that they are the most oppressed
class of people on the face Of the globe. 1t
is pity Col Doal had not made his investi-
cations before Sockless Simpson and Mrs
Lease visited this state so that they could
have been confronted with the result Of
them. 1t would have s.lenced them 50
effectually that they would have cancelled
their engagements ard left the state.

Dismissing employees for playing the
races would appear only an eccentric e1-
hibition Of rather rigorous virtue on the
part Of the postmaster Of Philadelphia were
it not that he has with somewhat conspicu-
ously methodical consistently confined his

to the democrats under his control.
Whether they did actually commit the
heinous offense Of playing the races 10 now
by no means certain. But that is as good
q pretext as any for dismissing them TO
