JUST ABOUT DOGS.

In old England it was said that ono
bulldog was a match for a bull; two
could meet wolf; three overcome a
bear, and four lion.
The taste OF the dog is exceedingly
dull and perverted. Even the most luz
uriously fed pets often resort to a diet
Of offal or carrion.
The most famous st. Bernard dog was
named Barry" lie saved 40 lives. and
his stuffed skin is now preserved in a
Bcrne museum.
Everywhere in the Bible the dog il
mentioned in terms of contempt. the
reason being probably found in the
character Of the oriental dog.
The suliote Of Germany, also called
the boarhound, is one Of the largest dogs
known. Many specimens are four feet
high at the shoulder.
Many varieties Of wild dogs have been
crossed with wolves, jackals and foxes
and thus have produced great numbers
of hybrid varieties.
The lower canine teeth OF the doe
close in front Of the upper, which giveI
that animal the tightness of grip SO re-
narkable In the species.

CARLISLE AS CANDIDATE.
A Hopeless Outlook for the Champion of
Democracy.


1t is more than probable that, at some
convenient time before the meeting Of
the democratic national convention,
Cleveland will formally notify his
friends that he is not a candidate for the
presidential nomination, and will prob
ably indicate also his preference for
Secretary Carlisle. At least there is no
doubt that Cleveland and his cabinet
are already quietly eXerting their in.
tlucnce in favor of the secretary's can
didacy.
1t is well known that Cleveland de-
sires to avoid the tariff question as an
issue this year, and make the fight along
the line of sound money. The putting
forward of Carlisle as the administra.
ton candidate is in pursuance of this
policy. 1t means battle-royal in the
Chicago convention. The frce-siver ele.
ment iii the democratic party will never
agree to Carlisle's candidacy. Per con.
ira. the administration wing will no:
support free-silver candidate
Hence events are shaping themselves
for the fultllment of the forecast made
by the Blade several months ago-that
the democratic party will repeat the his
tory of 1860; that the national conven.
ton will split, and two candidates will
be named, one by the free-silyer faction
and the other by the sound-money fac.
ton. But whether the democratic party
divides or not, the republicans will elect
the president this fall.-Tol"do Blade.

Deficiency of revenue was the primary
cause of the demand for gold for United
States notes. The gold boarded for re-
sumption purposes was not separated
from the money received for current
revenue, and this revenue being INSULT
cent TO meet expenses, the gold ac
cumulated for redemption purposes was
drawn upon to make good the de.
hciencies. This created n doubt of the
ability of the government to maintain
the parity OF United States notes with
coin and led to their presentation for
redemption i'm coin. The draft on the
treasury for coin during this admins
tration has beer greater than the
amount of deficiency of revenue during
the same period. In every respect i'm
which the subject presents itself to nv
mlnd ! come to no other conclusion
than that the deficiency Of revenue and
the consequent encroachmcnt upon the
redemption fund is the cause of our
present financial condition. and that
the only remedies are either radical
reduction Of expenditures or an increase
OF taxation. and perhaps both. Senator

The Dens Are to Be Reoccu.
pied Under the Guise of
Lodging.Houses.
sEEMLY CONDUCT PROMISED
Folsom Street to Be Paved From
Third to the Water
Front.

Under the pretense that the long-closed
dens on Morton street are to be used as
lodging houses, an effort is on foot to
open the street again, and as prelim-
mary the Board of Supervisors has been
asked to discontinue the police surveil-
lance that has resulted in making the
former habitues of the dens seek other
quarters.
Though the petitioners-the property
owners-promise everything in the way of
order and decency, the fact that they de-
sire the police called off first is signif-
cant. The petition is as follows:
This petition OF the undersigned, owners of
the property fronting on Morton street, be-
tween Grant avenue and Stockton street, in
the City and County of San Francisco, respect
fully shows and represents:
That by reason of the police surveillance
now being exercised over said portion of Nor
ton street our property has become vacant and
useless, and in some cases we have been
obliged to cancel insurance thereon, the COM
panies being unwilling to carry 1t.
We desire to be able to use and have the
property used as lodging houses ana furnished
rooms, and if the police surveillance be with
drawn we shall be able to SO let the property,
and we pledge ourselves jointly and severaliy
that If permitted so to use the property as
above suggested, it shall be used in quie
and seemly manner; there shall be no solicit
ing from the windows nor improper nor in.
decent behavior therein; neither viii we al
low permit any behavior which shall be-
offensive in any manner to the public use of
said portion of said street as q thoroughfare.
The names of a large number OF busi-
ness men whose places are near the street
are signed to the petition in addition to
the property-owners.
The South Side and Folsom-street I'M
provement clubs petitioned the board to
have the gas lamps on Folsom street from
Third to Nineteenth replaced by sixteen
electric lights, one at each crossing. 1t
was represented that Folsom street is
already lighted with electricity from Nine
teenth to Thirty sixth, and that the City
will save $125 per month by the change.
The matter was referred to the Street
Lights Committee.

This ended the deposition OF Craven
against Fair.
Mrs. Oelrichs was then sworn for the
taking OF her deposition in the twin suit
OF Craven against Oelrichs-the suit in
ejectment for the recovery by Mrs Craven
OF the property at Pine and Sansome
streets.
Mr.. Wheeler suggested that the deposi-
ton taken in the other case serve by stip-
ulatlon, so tar as it went al least, in this
case. But Mr.. Britain said that without
wishing to inconvenience the witness in
any way he preferred to go on in the regu-
lar way without regard 10 any other case.
Accordingly careful inquiries were m ade
as to her name, her residence, her relation
ship to the late Senator Fair, her travels
In Europe, her stay at Newport and as to
her visit here, as in the other case.
She was asked as to the Richard V. Dew
100000 contract and the alleged deeds in
favor of Mrs. Craven. She said she had
seen photographs of the alleged deed of
the Sansome-street property. She declared
she thought the deed forgery; that ali
her counsel had advised her it was and
that lt.did not look like her fathers hand
writing.
She was asked again as to the letters
that passed between herself and her
father, and if the frequent letters which
she said they wrote were affectionate as
between father and daughter.
Neither OF US were ever very demon
stratlve-we did not stop to put our affec-
ton in our letters" she said.
Did you stop to put anything in your
letters of a contrary tone?"

The witness was asked if she had been
