OYerrun With Dogs.

So many startling events happened
from day to day during the reign of
terror that the apparitIon of wild dogs
in Par is is commonly overlooked. says
Parsons Weekly. But it was quite
natural. The greater part of those
grandees who fled or went into hiding
kept oogs. and very few of them were
able TO make any arrangement for the
poor beasts when they left home
The dogs, abandoned, took to the
streets, of course, and shortly they be-
gan to cOngregate in Two packs, one
Occupying he Champs Elyst es and one
of the Bots de B1ulogne. Soon they
became public danger. Carlyl
pukes fun at SanLerre, the brewer, who
proposed a law that all dogs should
be hanged; he had not noticed the
paragraphs in the newspapers telling
how people had been attacked in the
Champs Elysee5.
AT length The situation became really
grave, as is easily unders' God when
thousands OF starving animals have to
find subsistence In Starv ng city.
Many of them were wolf hounds and of
powe rful fighting breeds. So in Sep
TENDER, 1893, drastic measures were
taken against the Champs Elysees
pack.
Two battalions of the national guard
surrounded the area, leaving gap to-
ward the Rue Royale, while multitudes
of ragamutfins beat the cover. The game
was driven up the Rue Royale TO the
place royale, where troops made a bat
tue of it. firing volleys. Three days
consecutively this operation was re-
peated, and more than 5000 dead dogs
lay in the place.
A certain Gaspardin received orders
to clear them away, and he, short of
means applied for the royal equipages.
1t was timely jest greeted with APP
plause. So NJ. GuspardIn packed the
dead dogs neck and. heel in gilded
coaches as full as they would hold and
made a state procession through de-
lighted Paris.
Congressman Stephens has introduce
ed bill providing for the cession of
Fort Elliott, n Wheeler county. to the
state of Texas. Mr.. Stephens says that
the people of northwest Texas have
never been able to get any state institu-
tion located north of the Texas < Pa
citic railroad, and this part of the state
has always been utterly ignored by the
Texas legislature. He provides in the
bill that the ceSSiOn shall be made for
normal school purposes, aud if it be-
comes law he will have such school
on the Fort Elliott site, as 1t contains
four sections of land and several build
ings of value. The reservation is well
watered, creek running through it.
