If the dog and sheep bill passed by
the Maine Senate, Wednesday. becomes
law, and is enforced, it will produce
considerable revenue. 1t requires from
the owners Of dogs, except breeders, an
annual license fee of S1lj for male
dogs and So. Is for female dogs. to be
paid to town and city clerks. Fifteen
cents of each license goes to the clerk
issuing it, the balance finds it's way to
the State treasury where it is to be
kept as fund for the protection of
sheep. The penalty for keeping an I'M
licensed dog is $40, one-half to 90 to
the complainant. Mayors of cities and
selectmen of towns are directed to is
sue warrants to policemen and consta-
bles to go cunning for unlicensed dogs
and each officer shall be paid at the
rate of one dollar day for each killed.
The bill provides that when sheep are
killed by logs, the owner may be REIN
bursed by the municipal officers and if
the city or town cannot identify the
owners of the dogs or caunot collect by
an action at law from them, the CITY or
town in turn shall be reimbursed out of
the dog tax fund in the State treasury.

And round that pearly summit play.

The Iunglrau pales as if in pain
Though daylight dies.
The azure skies
Seem glittering with a thousand eyes.
Which watch with glaoe
From depths of space
The sleeping Jungfraus lovely face
But when is born
The ruddy dawn,
Forerunner OF the coming morn;
Along the skies

TO Kiss the Jungfrau's opening eyes.

Are pure and fair

Can tho negro be trained as n me-
chanic, or is he by nature adapted to
other work than that of an unskillcd
laborcr? The question may, accord
ing to the North American Review
confidently be answered in the affirm
ative. While this answer cannot be
successfully controvertcd and while
it may have a material bearing on the
prosperity of the southern states, yet
it involves grave questions, the sue
cessful solution of which would tend
to n better understanding of the two
sections of this great nation. The
negro was hell in bondage in all the
colonies save one before the adoption
of the federal constitution, and
whether or not he was the prime
cause of the greatest war of modern
times, it is unqucstionably true that
he regards his liberation as the result
of that struggle. Prior to the war
there was large number of negro
mechanics in the southern states.
Many of them were expert black
smiths, wheelwrights, wagonmakers,
bricbmasons, carpenters, plasterers,
painters and shocmakers. They be-
came masters of their respective
trades by reason of sufficiently long
service under toe control and direction
of expert white mechanics. During
the existence of slavery the contract
for qualifying the negro as mechanic
was made between his owner and the
master workman. Now the negro, be-
ing. in his own words, n ''frcc man."
