ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.

Tas IDEA that the Syracuse conven-
ton shows that there is q serious d.
vision in the democratic party of New
York, and that. therefore, TIE Chicago
convention would run a great risk in
nominating either senator Hill or Dir.
Cleveland FOR President. seems TO have
beer generated more by the enemies of
the former and the friends of the ia
vorite sons of certain States, than by
ANYTHING developed at that convention.
The assemblage was composed almost
entirely of cx-oltice holders anxious 10
get back in their old places, the chiefs
of the defunct organization known as
the county democracy, civil service re-
form cranks, and kickers whose per-
sonal enmity toward Senator Hi is so
great that in order to spite him they
tried to defeat the regular democratic
ticket At the last election in New York
State and al the last municipal election
in New York city Surely such men
have no influence with the democratic
party ofthe Empire State and would not
have even if thcy were more numerous
than the crowd they gathered together
at Syracuse-though it is supposed tina;
by ,aeans of the money supplied them
by certain Wall street men, they were
enabled to muster their entire strength
at that place. OF course their protest
against the action Of the regular
State democratic convention, which,
Mey say is signed by from two to three
hundred thousand democratic voters Of
New York, amounts to nothing, as
nearly all thc signatures are fictitious,
and most Of the others those of rcpubli-
cans, negroes, tramps, women, and of
such as were bought for dimes. That
their asserted strength is patent fake
is demonstrated BY the fact that though
they claimed immense numbers Of fol-
lowers in Brooklyn and New York be-
fore their recent primaries in those
cities, the vote pollcd was ridiculously
small, and that, too, though they had Il
large fund with which to buy votes, and
accepted every ballot offered, no matter
by whom The democratic party in
New York is more united and in better
condition now than ii has been in any
late Presidential election year, and fits

The greyhound family has been termed
the "lords of dogges." The great
Emperor Charlemagne commanded that
asa distinction this species might enter
his presence with their masters, provided
they first had their paws closely shaved.
The graceful and symmetrical English
greyhound is the best known of his
breed. In that country prior to Crom-
wells time the aristocracy alone were
permitted to keep them. The strong,
fleet and resolue Scottish deerhound,
the favorite of Sir Walter Scott, has
many admirers in America. The Russian
wolfhound was unknownhere until with
in the last few years. But now these
shaggy, graceful hounds have been in

almost solely in the hands of the mobiles
and they are kept chiefly for their

In their native country they are termed

The King of Instruments.

The violin is justly considered the
king ofinstruments, writes Walter Dam
rosch, the New York conductor. To
play any instrument we'll enough to be
u member of grand orchestra requires
a great deal of study aud long practice.
You cannot give direct answer to the
question, how long will it take to be-
come siSilful'performer on any partic
uiar instrument. 1t depends entirely on
the man, just rs at school one boy will
learn his lesson in half the time it will
take another boy to perform the same
task. Most violinists begin to study and
practice when they are mere children
and keep hard at work until they have
become OF age. Even after they have
become professional musicians they are
always practicing. The violin, above all
other instruments, require the greatest
amount OF practice to keep one, as the
saying is, Sin proper trim" When the
New York Symphony Orchestra is not

Gated by the long list of special prizes

coats and without white. They must
have short noses, like the pug; their
ears should be just rs long as 1t is possible
to get them. the longer tho better. The
Blenheims are put together in the same
style, but they were not the companions of
royalty, although they get their name

lemon and white or orange aud white in

Notwithstanding the Iron Industrv

1t is repoted in Westphalia, Germany,
that the experiments of several experts
have resulted in the invention of pro-
cess OF manufacturing pig iron which
will rcvolutionize the iron industry.
The simultaneous application of the cleo
trio current and the use of an easilv
made acid for extracting the iron from
the ore are said to be the chief charac
teristics of the new method. The exper-
iments were confined to the raw material
forming the blast-furnice charge, and are
said to have proved completely successful,
the separation of all metallic substances
beng rapidly and perfectly effected, and
the iron lett in an absolutely pure con-
dition. The process is stated to BIO
eighty per cent. cheaper than the present
blast furnace method. The invention
has been patented in all countries, and
it is proposed to form q company with a

Wonders of a Mosquitoes Bill.

The mosquitoes bill is simply tool.
box wherein the mosquito keeps six
miniature surgical instruments in perfect
working order. Two of these lnstru-
ments are exact counterparts of the sur
geon's lance; one is spear with double
barred head, the third is needle of ex-
quisitc fineness, n saw aud q pump going
to make up the complement. The spear
is the largest of the six tools and is used
for making the initial puncturc; next,
the lances or knives are brought into play
to cause tho blood to flow more freely.
In case this last operation fails of having
the desired effect, tho saw and the needle
are carefully and fecIingly inserted in a
lateral direction in the victims flesh.
The pump, the most delicate OF all six Of
the instruments, is used in transferring
the blood to the insects stomach"

Watch and Plcvna had also come to
these shores. But there was still one
thing to be accomplished; the largest
dog alive was still in Her SIajesty's do
minions. Pennsylvania took hand and
secured Lord Butte for $4,000.
The usefulness and sagacty of the st.
Bernard dogs induced the monks to de-
velop the breed, and many are the tales
told of their wonderful exploits. The
monks gave the dogs they could not
rear ut the IIospice to jewellers OF the
surrounding villages, and when at one
time an avalanche swept everything be-
fore it, only by the return of two OF the
dogs was the breed maintained. These
were the ancestors of specimens taken to
England, from which those costly mon
archs of dogdom sptaLg. The majesty
of bearing, the noble benevolent express
sion, with docility in proportion 10
strength, form contrast to tic rude
material from which they were evolved
and make striking instance of what
mans skill and knowledge can accom-
plish.
The English mastilf is quite au old
favorite, and though cell psed by his
more snowy rival, the st. Bernard, his
sagacity and qualifications as guard and
watch dog made him valuable to the old
families who had their country places.
An instance Of the mastiff's value and
faithtulness was recently recorded at
Boston, where Il mastitf prevented mad
deg from biting child he was guard
ing and paid the penalty with his own
life. j. l.. Winchell, of Fair Haven,
Vt, has succeeded in breeding young
dog which many consider superior to
anything in the world. He was cxhib.
tied at the Albany show.
The German mastitf, or Great Dane,
the companions of Prince Bismarck, have
many admirers in America. These arc
the dogs that most resemble the "dogs
OF war" of the ancients. In more recent
times they were used in Germany for
hunting the wild boar. From those of
such vicious tendencies, dogs have been
produced that are dccilc, obcdient and
suited to America. 1t is not in the East
ern States, but in those less settled,
where these dogs arc most numerous.
Chicago is the headquarters of the club
devoted to this variety.
The monarchs of dogdom have oae
more representative, the almost forgotten
Newfoundland. Dogs called by this
name are found everywhere, but they are
generally large black mongrels, with
scarcely any of the characteristics of the
dogs that came from the islands off the
American coast, and which are still de-
servedly popular in England. Their de-
terioration in America has been caused
partly by the desire tor something new.
The fact that they are the NEST useful
all-round large breed extant has been
overlooked. As n guard aud watch dog
few are their equal. AS companions they
are excellent, and as water dogs unsur-
passed. This latter quality alone should
make the breed valued, especially on the
coast and in the lake districts.
