DOGS IN WAR
Hoy the st. Bernard Ministers to the
 Wounded Russian Soldier.

Hoy the St. Bernard Ministers to the
 Wounded Russian Soldier.
 h the present day the British army seems the only one in which dogs are not trained either as spies, messengers or to help the wounded. The Germans, French, Austrians, Russians and Ital- ians have all found them to be worth the trouble The Germans have devoted themselves chiefly to the training of dogs for carrying messages to and from oatp0sts and piokets and the main bodies Of troops. For this purpose they find pointers sre the best, but Scotch sheep dogs and short haired sporting dogs are much liked, as are also the clever little Pomeranians, which learn very quickly and are very strong and swift. h the German arfny the best trainers are the men of the Jager regiments, and a spe- eiaI officer and special body of men are told off to look after the dogs. They are taught to march without frisking about, to avoid barking, but, with their wonderfully quick ear to warn if stran- gers are near, by pointing or by low growl They are trained to carry mes- sages up to 2119 miles by known roads, and beyond that distance to find their own way across country. To men in tho same uniform they are taught to be obedient.
 h the Russian army kind of big St. Bernard mastiff is used; also wolf and sheep dogs These, equipped with a flask containing brandy or soup and a packet of bandages hung round their neeks, are taught to find out the wound cd lying among bushes or uneven ground and to offer them restoratives, standing meanwhile with their forefeet planted and barking to attract attention. They are even harnessed to little handcarts, such as we see them use in Belgian and German towns, and can drag two wounded men. The French, in their wars in Tpnis and Algiers, have used dogs; also the Russians in their last Turkish war In Austria they have been employed to discover ambusoades. The Dutch in Aeheen found them most use- ful in preventing solitary sentries in thick jungle outposts being surprised by stealthy natives. The Italian sentries in the Alps are always accompanied by dogs. United Service Magazine.

THE LAW IND JLSYICE.

Truly the law is as dainty lady. Those who dress in silk and broad, cloth it handles with kid gloves; but those are dressed in the garb of poverty, it handles with grasp of iron when they get into it's clutches. This fact was clearly shown when a magistrate of Hot Springs fined Col. John J. Sumpter, the wealthy citizen who attacked Mr. c. N. Rix with a dirk knife and wounded him, $5.00 for disturbing the peace and 5000 for carrying weapon. That same magistrate, without a doubt, has fined many better, yetpoorer man, ten times that amount for less of fense
 There is little difference in the magistrates of Garland county and those of Jefferson. A man of inau- ence ard wealth can violate the laws with impunity, and if he is ever punished, 1t is only about one-tenth as severe as that awarded his poorer and less influential brother. Every day this fact is impressed on our minds.
 Even the Grand Juries eondone or overlook the crimes and mis- demeanors of the reputed wealthy citizens.
 We can now call to mind the seandalous conduct of several citi- zens, who, were they less rich or less influential, would either be forced to leave the county or else the outraged law would send them to the penitentiary or county farm for number of years.
 God help the country where such things exist. It is only matter of time when the days Communism will again bring death and destruc- tion to that country.
 Our next Grand Jury convenes in September, and it remains for them, our Circuit Judge and Prosecuting Attorney, to see that Justice is meted out to all alike, irrespective of race, color or previous condition. Will they do it? We, and many others will watchathe issue.

ONE of the speakers at the eman- cipation celebration held in Little Rock Thursday was Hon. H. l.. Remmel, collector of internal reye- nue, who spoke eloquently Of the progress of the colored race, and in the most commendatory terms ex- horted them to con ntinue in their up- ward march of progress. But one thing he did depreeate the passage of the Thurston bill for pensioning of ex-slaves. He branded the scheme as visionary and the veriest non sense advising those who were'being duped into spending their dollars in such cause to keep their money in their poekes, and steer clear of such illusions. The speaker, continuing, said that these very people who are thus seeking to become beneficiaries of the government have a heritage more valuable than gold from the hand of that government. Their liberation cost the best blood of the Union, and the price of their free. dom was national debt of two and a half billions, saddled upon the country at the close of the war, with a pension roll of $145, 900, 900 an nually. What more could you ask?

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l, 1861. ! Major General Hunter:

Major General Hunter:
 DEAR sTR-Yours of the 93d is received, and I am constrained to say it is difficult to answer so ugly . letter i'll good temper. l am, as you intimate, losing much of the great confidence placed in you, not from any act OF oommis- sion of yours touching the public service up to the time you were sent to Leavenworth, but from tho flood of grumbling dispatches and let. ters have seen from you since. I knew you were being ordered to Leavenworth at the time it was done, and aver that, with as ten' der regard for your honor and your senst. bilities as l had for my own. it never occurred to me that you were being s'humiliated, in. suited and disgraeed, " nor have l up to this day heard any intimation that you have been wronged coming from any one but yourself. No one has blamed you for the retFograde movement from Springfield, nor for the infor. nation you gave General Cameron and this you could readily understand if it were not for your unyaffanted assumption that the or dering to LoavenWorth must necessarily have been done as 8 punishment for some fault l thought then, and l think yet, the position as- signed To you is as responsible and as honor, able as that assigned to Buell. know tbaS General Mcclellan expected moro important results from it. My impression is that at the time you were assigned to the new western department it had not been determined to re- place General sherman il Kentucky, but of this am not certain, ba Huse the idea that a command in Kentucky was very desirable, and one in the farther west undesirable, had never occurred to me. You constantly speak of bo- ing placed in command Of only 3000. Now tell me, is not this mere impatience? Have you not known all tie while that you arc to com mand four or five times that many?
 have been and am sincerely your friend, and # as such l dare to make a suggestion l would say you are adopting tho best possible way to ruin yourself "Act well your part. There all the honor lies. R He who does some thing al the head of one regiment will eclipse him who does nothing at the head of 199. Your friend as ever A. LINCOLN.
 Nothing eonld have been better cal culated to allay the feelings of personal wrong which must have possessed Hunter at the time. That he thought so himself is shown by the following words, written by tbe dissatisfied gen eral on the big yellow envelope in which the letter had been sent:
 The presidents reply to my ugly letter This lay on his table month after 1t was written, and when finally sent was by a special conveyance, with the direction that it was only to he given to me when l was iii a good hu- nor. e--New York Sun

LlNC0EN'S GLIDING.

His Gentle Reproof In Reply to General
 Hunters Ugly Letter.
 Another remarkable evidence of the great kindliness of heart of Abraham Lincoln has been brought to light in the form of long lost letter which the martyred president wrote to General Daniel Hunter ill 1861.
 General Hunter was in command of the department of Kansas at the time this particular letter was written. It seems he considered himself dishonored by an appointment to the rather ob- soure military post, and he wrote to the president protesting against it. Lin, coIn's characteristic reply was as fol lows:
