Dogs.

Our esteemed contemporary the Rockville Journal thinks that the ''dog- gies" must 30. After discussing the pros and cons in regard to dogs, and noting that it is claimed that they are prejudi- cial to the sheep raising industry the Journal sums up the matter as follows:
 Friends, let us rise up and down the lawn-destroying, building -defacing, child-mangling, tramp-non-fghting everlasting -terror-to-t -timid. harmless harmful, brave-cowardly, good bad dog.
 The dog is in the bed on the best par Tor furniture, under the table, in the meat, but the place where he belongs is where the Indian puts him-"In the soup."

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Where Are We At.

Editor of Neacs:
 The political status seems to be equal ly astonishing to both parties, and re- minds me of the astonishment of a friend who undertook long list of New Year calls. After partaking of frequent and liberal refreshments, both solid and liquid, he found himself with arms clasped around friendly tree, his stom- ach having vigorously repudiated its contents, and small dog was contem- plating the upheaval with profound as- tonishment. In this predicament the New Year caller said: "I remember the raw oysters and cake at MT As; the lob- ster salad at Mir B's; but for the life of me l cannot tell where I ate the dog"

 -"There is no great loss without some small gain.' Just before the presidential election last week promi- nent Republican of this village who has been an inveterate smoker vowed that he would quit smoking if Harrison was defeated, and he would never smoke again until another Republican presi- dent was elected. Our townsman has put away his tobacco and pipes, given away his cigars and is fighting his to- bacco appetite with as much zeal as he fought the Democrats. This incident shows that good way for man to bet on election is to bet against himself, o1 his appetite. Our townsman has been known to smoke seventeen cigars be. tween noon and 10 p. m., to say noth. ing about the number of cigars and pipes he smoked during the forenoon but if he succeeds in conquering hif appetite for tobacco his pocket book and his general health will be the gainel by the election of Cleveland. Success to him in his struggle against the to baose habit.

The Law Not Made for Fools.

Henry Duckett. young colored man, thought
he had n 'einch" when he made % bet the
other day, but he lost his money and then ap-
pealed to Judge Miller TO procure the return
of it. He appeared in court this morning and
accused Levi Poindexter Of larceny.
Henry said he was sitting in a park the other
day talking to q female friend. when man whom
he recognized "a Poindexter, came along and
dropped the ace Of clubs from pack of cards.
Another man came along and picked up the
card. He called Poindexter back. and the
latter wanted to know what in the - he
wanted.
DO you want to buy pack Of cards7" was
asked BY Poindexter. and then he offered to sell
the deck for IS cents.
but there amt fifty-two cards in the pack,
said the other man.
I'm bet that there are that many in the
deck, said Poindexter.
Duckett thought it good chance to win IS
and SO he spoke up and made the bet.
There were ffty-two cards in the deck, and
so Henry lost his money.
1.-The law isn't made for such fools as you >
said Judge Miller. ''You were too anxious tc
bet"
The charge against Poindexter was dismissed

The continued case Of John ii. Henderson
charged by Capt" Houghton with false pre-
lenses, was called up in the Police Court today
and Judge Miller heard the statement
Of the defendant He claimed that
his dealings were With Col Canaday and
not with Capt" Houghton. Defendant ex-
planned his bin of sale for furniture, and when
he got $50 from him he made a note for S64
and paid 81 month interest Then when he
got $50 he made out his note for more than
$40. Defendant said he was introduced to Col
Canaday by Hon. j. X. Lynch.
Capt" Houghton said that some leaves were
cut out Of the book ON which Henderson
transactions were recorded.
Henderson denied that he ever got the money
from the prosecuting witness.
Capt" Houghton said he always had i'm
plicit confidence in Col. Canaday and never
mistrusted him until the first day of last month
The defendant and the prosecuting witness
were further examined. The latter said he had
no means of knowing how much money the de-
PENDANT had paid back.
The judge thought that Col. Canaday could
have thrown more light on-the transaction
than any other person. Henderson said he
was told by Col. Canadsy that u bill
of sale not recorded was MOI
binding more than seventeen days and for tina
reason defendant renewed the bill of sale about
every fifteen days.
Mr.. Darlington for the defendant examined
the witnesses and his client was acquitted.

Threatened Quarantine Against the U. 8.


United States Minister Hicks at Lima, Peru,
reports to the State Department. under date of
September 8, that there are strong indications
that in few days strict quarantine will be
established against European and American
ports by the authorities at Colon in
the Republic Of Columbia and it is
highly probable that Peru and Chile will
also adopt stringent regulations against ship
ping from the same ports. This will place such
an embargo on commerce as to completely par
alyze trade and prevent even the interchange
of mails 1t is well to bear in mind that while
the approach of cold weather may
check the ravages of the disease in
the United States and Europe the south
ern hemisphere is now nearing its warm season.
Should the disease obtain foothold in the
Isthmus of Panama it is almost certain TO
spread down the west coast OF South America
in the coming summer and unless it is soon
checked in Europe it is very likely to be
communicated to the Ports of the Argentine
country and those of Chile. In view Of these
facts any business with this legation necessary
to be done by mail should be expedited. as a
complete cessation of communication Is prob
able within q very short tine"
