A PAYING
Renting Out Bulldogs to Protect PROF.
ertY in summer.

ENDtIHS Out Iu-1"o5 ~
erty in summer.
Bulldog Douglas is a character in
the suburbs of this city, says the Wash
ington Star. But it is not of B. D. SO
much as his occupation one wants to
speak. The latter is peculiar and alto
gether a suggestion of Bulldog Doug
las. Be it known that Bulldog Doug
las is the proprietor of a multitude OF
bulldogs, all of whom he dearly loves.
Just as a miser might love and hoard
money, just SO does Douglas go on
through life amassing and boarding
bulldogs. He can't, to his notion,
have too many of these bellicose chat
tells. At last it would appear as if he
had found a use for them. The idea
had suggestion to him because of the
expense of maintaining his canine
standing army. He must find some
thing for them to do. The other day a
gentleman met Bulldog Douglas tow
ing a Misunderstanding dog at the end
of a rope.
Just hired out another dog re
marked Douglas, delightedly, pausing
and looking fondly on his vicious pet.
"Nhat do you mean by that?" queried
the gentleman.
buliOOg douglas Lnen advanced an
explanation. Many of the residents Of
Washington leave town for the su1nmer
AS a protection to their houses during
their absence Bulldog Douglas rents
them a savage dog, warranted to tear
the hind leg of a burglar or a tramp at
the drop OF the hat. Rent, per dog,
three dollars per month. bulldog
Douglas stakes out the canine sentry
III the back yard with the rope long
enough to allow him to patrol the
whole ear OF the house. Then when
The burglar appears the dog mingles
with him and the burglar soon after
ward hurries away. The inventor OF
this unique patrol for back yards
claims great things for his system
During the summer season he puts out
some two cores OF dogs to hire after
this fashion. Bulldog Douglas makes
the rounds once a day and bestows wa
ter and ~rations on the dogs. They dc
the rest. It's a novel industry and dur
ing the touring months Bulldog Doug
las declares it to be a paying one.

The statement of Commissioner
Stump that the immigration for
the year ending June 80 was 81
'095 smaller than for the preced-
ing twelvemonth, and the SMALL
est record for sixteen years, is
rather surprising. A revival CT
business like last springs,
with its greater demand TO T la

swell the volume Of immigration.
But perhaps the news Of such a
partial revival, after a long de-
depression, did not spread

SOUELCHING BORES.
Two Public Nuisances Receive Their just
naGnrta

Deserts.
MANY phases of human nature assert
themselves in public c~onvevances, but
to the man who takes especial de-
light in making his business affairs
known to the public a crowded l.
train is just the place.
There you meet the man going down
town in the morning who tells his
friend in general, but the whole car ID
particular, what his business methods
are; how many dollars worth of goods
he sold last year, how he got the best
of others in trade, and so on. What a
bore and a nuisance these individuals
are can be best appreciated by one who
is doomed to listen to these uninterest-
ing r~ecitals of personal affairs.
On a crowded train the other day
! were two of this class of individuals
who persisted in making themselves
particularly obnoxious to the passen-
gers who wanted to read their papers.
They had hardly entered the car at
Canal street when their recital began,
and by the time Tw~enty-third street
was reached every passenger in the car
had heard about their business affairs.
Il didn't see anything OF hard times
last year" said the little man. why,
John, my bookkeeper showed me the
accounts to-day, and to my great sur
prise they showed a clear profit of sew
enty-ive thousand dollars. This year
l expect to double that. NY travellers
On the road are sending in marvellous
orders for goods" etc.
His friend retaliated in kind, and SO
the conversation continued. Before
them sat a middle aged man, with a
dyspeptic, yet kindly look. The con-
versation of the two men before him
evidently made him nervous, for he
looked up at them several times with
something like anger expressed in his
face, and then began reading his paper
again, or tried to, at least.
He stood it until Tw~enty-third street,
and then his patience became ex-
J hausted.
"Gentlemen," he said quietly but
firmly, consider the fact that there
are other passengers in the car who
have rights as we'll as ourselves" The
two men regarded him with astonish-
tment. Remember, also" he contin-
ued, "that an elevated train is not a At
place to tell business secrets. l don't
want to know your business, and /
wish you would let me in peace, 50 that
l can read my paper"

angrily.
mo. You didn't; but the people in
this car are not deaf and you have no
right to ~monopolize their ears with

after got off at a station. When they

ment Of the yacht races" Cons
mon worship Of what? The only
worship we can see about it is
that which broken down and i'm

It is one of the best signs of an
advancing enlightenment that in
u tine our Licks, Stanfords,
Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, Car
negies and their fellows clearly
recognize their obligation to use
their enormous wealth as to leave
the world the better for their &C
emulation. Unfortunately, there
are still men and families who
deem it a proper career for a
man to inherit preposterous
wealth and devote all his ener-
gies to the task of adding to il
and transmitting the enhanced
pile to his children without even
an effort to make any part of il
of service to his fellowmen in
recognition of the part hisfel,
lowmen have borne in making
such accommodations possible.

The Horse Knew SUNDAY

A Dexter OIe.) man has a mare that
knows several things, and, among other
accomplishments, apparently can tell
the day of the week. On a recent Sun
day the gentleman hitched up, and,
having assisted his wife into the car
riage, got in himself. He was busted
for a moment in arranging the robe,
and before he had taken up the reins
the horse started out of the yard into
the street. His purpose was to attend
church, and, as the horse took that
direction, he decided to let her go with
out guiding, to see what she would do.
The route is altogether different from
that taken in the weekday driving.

THE TURKISH CRISIS.

A crisis in the Suitan's domain
seems imminent. Anarchy is
threatened, and the powers Of
Europe have, it is said, told the
Turkish ruler that he must re-
store order very soon or abide
the consequences. These con-
sequences would. it is said, be
the division of the Turkish
Empire among the powers them
selves. This can be showed IN
der the nose of the Sick Man
of Europe" as often as the pow
ers choose, but he knows, and
the world knows, that such a
step is impracticable, for the
reason that the powers could not
agree upon the apportionment OF
the Turkish Empire among
themselves, They would quar-
rel over the bone, as they have
always manifested a disposition
to do whenever the question OF
division was brought up.
The Ottoman domain is ten
times the area Of the United
Kingdom, and has a population
slightly in excess of that Of the
British. It extends into Europe.
Asia and Africa, with a hetero~
geneous mass Of inhabitants, in
Guiding Turks, Greeks, Bulgars
ians, Roumanians, Armenians,
Magyars; Gypsies, Jews, Circas>
SLAMS, Arabs, Syrians, Kurds
and probably some Of almost
every other Asiatic stock. The
fact that it would be next to i'm
possible to seperate these nation
alities into their individual ele-
ments and gather each together
into it's own territory for autono
my or protection, is an addition
al reason why the scheme Of di'
yiding the Turkish empire is im'
practicable.
On the question Of division
Russia would probably be The
hardest to satisfy. she would
want the biggest slice. In fact
the bear would prefer to have i
all and would have taken it abou
fifty years ago had not England
and France formed an alliance
and resisted such a move. AS /
was the Gar secured free pas
sage through the Dardennelle
and the Turks we're driven GU
of Crimea. England cannot af
ford, now that Russia bids fair t
absorb China to allow the GA
to gain any further foothold il
the South, It has been wei
said that England knows tina
Turkey is a necessary bluffe
between Russia and her preten
lions and possessions in Easter
Europe and Asia. and that i
this rivalry between Russia an
England lies the safety of tn
Turkish empire.

The Texas Populites have de-
cided not to fuse with either Of
the parties, but will fight their
battle single-handed. This is
right. If they fuse with the Re
publican party it will be like it
was here in the Fourth district,
viz: It will be impossible to tell
whether the Republicans have
swallowed the populite party or
the Populites the Republicans.
We rather think in the case,
though, that Brother Aldrich has
swallowed the populites, Repub-
licans and negroes, and his mas
ter of the situation. He certain
ly possessed some magic infu-
ence to induce men who had pro
fessed to be lifelong Democrats
to turn round and vote the Re
publican ticket all Of a sudden.
The magic influence was Mr.. Aid
rich's supposed ''bar'l." If he
were living in Texas and those
Populites out there thought he
was going to knock the head Ol
his barrel in, they might have
passed a resolution to fuse with
tie Republican party. "Politics
make strange bed fellows" This
has been verified here in the
Fourth district.-Ala. Elk.
