HUNTED WITH BLoopHouNDs

Hes - Nos Ferocions Animal, But WIN
h Not Let His Man Go.
The popular belief that blood hounds
are ferocious is one Of the most UNI
Warranted errors, says the Post Dis
patch. Such is far from being the
case. Bloodhounds such as those
which will be employed to trace the
outlaw and such as are to-day used in
the convict camps and prisons in many
parts of the country have none Of the
ferocity generally ascribed to them.
Their reputation for savageness is de-
rived from what is known as the Gu
ban bloodhound of slave hunting noto-
riety, but which is in reality no blood
hound at all. The Cuban bloodhound
was produced by cross between a
mastiff and a pointer, and was intro
duced into Spanish America by the
early settlers.
Their employment in hunting In
dams and slaves increased their natur-
ally belligerent temper, until in time
they became the most dangerous OF
the canine kind. These animals have
only the name in common with the
British bloodhound, which Is a far
finer animal. It has the characters
tics of the sagacious and swift footed
dogs. while the Cuban animal pos
sesses those of the swift-footed and
pugnacious. When placed on the
trail of man the bloodhound will
stick to it under circumstances of al
most incredible difficulty, but when
the quarry is run down will not at
tempt to attack, but will give tongue
until the hunters arrive. The fact
that these dogs were put on the trail
of the Whitechapel murderer in the
most thickly populated section of the
east end of London, and that they at
tackled no one, should prove to all that
they are not the ferocious 'arutes that
they are commonly supposed to be.
The following description applies to
the true bloodhound, and it will be
seen that there are few points of like
ness to his Cuban namesake: The
head is the chief characteristic of the
breed, the skull is very long, often as
much as eleven inches in length, mar
row, and very much peaked, The
muzzle is deep and square, the ears
long, very thin, pendulous and set
very low, hanging close to the face
and curled upon themselves. The
eyes are hazel in color, deep set and
with triangular lids. The neck is
long with great quantity OF loose
skin forming the dewlap. The dogs
are from twenty-five to twenty seven
inches in height at the shoulder. The
color is usually black and tan, but
some animals are fecked with white
on the back. giving them the appear
ance of having been out in a snow
storm.
The bloodhound is exceedingly pow
erful, but as gentle as lapaog and al
most as intelligent as a collie. Its
wonderful scent far surpasses that of
any other member of the canine
family. No foxhound can compete
with it in this respect. To track men
or animals through a country not
thickly populated is an easy task to
the bloodhound. Once put on a trail
it will stick to that particular one, al
though hundreds may cross it. The
tests made in London during the ex-
element incident to the Whitechapel
murders were simply marvellous. The
dogs would hunt the clean boot for
miles through the most frequented
thoroughfares and scarcely ever hest
tated as to the trail.

Mr.. Morley's significant hint to the
British House of Lords, that it will be
taken out of the way if it
gets in the way, is, according to
the Washington Star, the talk of all
England. The lords are, historically
speaking, the core of the English consti-
tution-that thing of convention and
shreds and patches-but it has gotten to
be rotten core, and may have to be ex-
tracted, and new constitution evolved.
In England every thing politically i'm
portant is made out of something pre-
viously existent, and so the witan became
the kings court, the kings court the
parliament, the latter having been at
first only the council of barons. It is
probable that the hereditary house will
become in few years a senate, chosen
for life or long term. The radical ele-
ment in England is never so blind as
it is in some other countries. 1t de.
velops its measures gradually and builds
on existing foundations. English radi-
cal projects do not spring like political
Minerva, full grown, out of the brain OF
the Jovian people.

CONVICTS SHALL GO BACK.
The Lessees Demand Their Return to
Them--About Three-Fourths Re-


"The convicts shall be returned to
the mines if it takes every able-bodied
man in the state to do it," said Gov.
Buchanan.
"When will they be returned goy-
ernor?' he was asked.
"That l do not know yet"
"Will you send a military guard
with them?"
81 cannot tell you that. / can SIM
ply say that the convicts shall be re-
turned to the mines if it takes every
able-bodied man in the state to do it.
Is not that enough?c
Although the governor was reticent,
from other sources the information
was gathered concerning the matter
that the lessees have made demand
upon the state for the convicts. This
demand was answered promptly that
when the convicts had been captured
they would be returned if supplied
with sufficient guard and proper quar-.
tiers. Proper quarters will be built at
once. This will take about two weeks.
ho luCstlOi VI ~ Suuiu ICuuiiCtt
not a little consideration. 1t comes
pretty straight that the present inten-
ton is to provide about fifty men
each for Briceville and Coal Creek and
100 men for Oliver Spring. All these
will be in the employ of the lessees.
Twenty-Five it is thought will be
enough militamen deputized to do
guard duty.
In regard to this last feature Gov.
Buchanan wired Gen. Carnes, of Mem
phis, brigadier general of the Ten
nessee militia, to come to Nashville.
The two were in consultation. The
veil of secrecy was thrown around the
result reached. but it may be taken as
reliable that the plans given above
were not changed. The guard will
not be from the existing companies of
the state. The men will enlist for the
purpose.
About $50 of ASP released convicts
have been recaptured.

Not only is the raising of cattle now
reduced to an exact science, notes the
Louisville Courier-Journal, but the
utilization of the various parts of the
animal which the butcher rejects is
carried to a point of the greatest
nicely. No portion of the steer is al
lowed to go to waste. The hair is
used for plaster, the hoofs are con-
verified into gelatine, the horns are
steamed and rolled out for various
purposes, the tongues are canned, and
the shreds of meat about the head are
scraped off and utilized. The hide is
cured, the skull is burned for bone
ash, the tail appears in ox-tail soup,
the blood is used in making rare and
expensive dyes and chemicals, and the
waste is used for fertilizers. This ex-
act and scientific method of feeding
and slaug liter has had the effect of
driving the small feeders and butch
ers out Of competition in the West,
and they can only afford to handle the
poorer grades of beef, which are ne
elected by the larger firms.
