Written for the Reveillel.
Once upon q time pack OF dogs
were without leader, and there was
mutinous and diversified sentiment as
to which should assume that position.
The mastiff vociferously electioneered
his claim, promising to drag and hold
down their ravin. The sleuth-hound
directed attention to the value of his
scent, the fox-terrier to his matchless
strategy. The noble greyhound prom
ised them rare and elevated sport, but
the mongrel and spaniel element that
predominated, barked down the preten-
tions Of each candidate, and it seemed
that the sun Of cur-dom would set with
out a pointer. In the cleaning an
animal paused in their midst to rest
from repletion. The odor Of carrion
that he exhaled whetted the appetites
of the fasting many-headed, and, with
a few dissenting growls, he was elect
ell to lead them to quarry, TO point the
way, they cOyenanting to fell the prey
And then it mournfully came to pass
that these dogs we're led by hog, from
whose uncleanly snout no innocent
sheepfold was sacred, no green fields
were secure. Only one green clover
patch, where his pigs -'gorged the rel
les Of success" and fattened upon gar
bage, was set apart from universal ra-
pine and devastation.

Shiloh Is not anxious to have the

ed the last paragraph, Shiloh would
not trouble you now, and would have
made plain the point you place SO much
sh ess upon. AS near as can be re-
called, it ran about this way: "The
late John g. barbour, senator from
Virginia, SAID he would not 90 to the
Chicago convention wearing the livery
Of any presidential aspirant.' Col.
Hooker and Murray Smith are fash
ioned in the same way, and there are
more Of the same sort left"
The people are more appreciative
than you give them credit, and will
ever feel grateful for "this business of
hebdomadally saving ones country"
The country has to be saved about
every four years, but the country looks
brighter and feels better after each
saving" Saving the country heb
domadally gives one the blues, but the
