A couple of dogs were having Il
dispute on the opposite side OF a
stat fence on High street the other
morning, when oncOf them. letting
his valor get the better of his dis
cretion, plunged his head through
the Stats i'll hopes of nipping his
antagonist. That was where he
made the mistake. The head
went through nicely, but wouldn't t
pull back. The other pup, seeing
his foe was in chancery, leisurely
commenced eating up the front
part of bis head and ears. There
was "musiC in the air. about that
time, and the yelplng brought the
juvenile owner to the rescue. He
took in the situation at one =, and
freezing onto that dogs tail, and
bracing against the fence, he pulled
his level best. For a moment il
was doubtful Which would give
way first, the tail, the head or the
picket; but, with a final surge the
boy brought away the pup minus
the biggest part o! both ears. The
first jump that the dog made when
loose was something over twenty
feet, and, with a continuous wall
of grief he disappeared round the
first corner.-Nortb Brjdge2ra-

We don't exactly sympathize
in The fault-Gnding with Gen.
Grant for being away from Wash
ington. In our opinion bis pro-
longed and continued absence from
the scat of government would be
beneficial. We think the Depart
ment Clerks can run the govern
mcnt better than be can. If Gen.
Craft, however, really wants to do
something for his country, let him
extend his western tour from CclO-
RADIO to the lava beds, and have
big talk or a big drunk with Cap
tain Jack. One of their Scalps
might be the result, and we are
willing to run the risk whether it
shall be that of Captain Jack or

4 recent occurrence IN Name
suggests Il new danger from the
too liberal exercise of the pardon
ing power. A depraved boy nam
ed Walker, living at Augusta, was
arrested for some ohense aud sem
fenced to a term of six years in
the State reform school. When
he had served three years he was
pardoned out and returned home
where he was soon after taken
suddenly sick and died. The
father thereupon made a demand
upon the school for $40O, the a.
mount that he claims to have ex,
pended in taking care of the child
during his sickness, and in bury
ing Rim. This claim be based on
the theory that the boy would
have died just the same If he had
remained at the school, and that
the expense ought not to be visit
cd upon the father by reason of
the youngsters being pardoned by
the governor before his term was
out! The executive council, sim
guIar as it may appear, have re-
iected this demand; but the bereav-
ed parent is determined to prose-
cute it in the courts, to establish
the principle that when the State
undertakes to provide for a person
for a certain rumber Of years, it
cannot avoid the full performance
of the contract!

During the year 1872, little over
$500, 900 feet of lumber was received in
this city, and for the year just coming
to a close the amount will reach, if it
does not exceed 10000, 900 feet. AS our
city increases in size, and the country
surrounding it is settled up, the con-
sumption Of lumber will be greatly
augmented. To reduce the cost Of this
indispensable article, and thus facili-
tate the development of the country is
q matter of importance to every body.
Lumber is cheap in Oregon, but dear
in Los Angeles. The expense of get
ting it here is what counts, and q
large portion of this expense is occa-
stoned by the necessity for lighterage,
at Wilmington. The freight from the
anchorage to Los Angeles is 81 per
thousand, at least $4 of which is for
lighterage. On the lumber received
here during 1853, this will amount to
$4,000, a very respectable tax to pay
in one year on single article.

The appointmentof Caleb Gushing
as Minister of Spain is one of the re-
deeming features in Gen. Grants ad-
ministration, that occasionally flash
to the surface, only to exasperate us
that they are so infrequent. No other
man in the United States is so we'll
fitted by nature and education, for
the delicate and important work
of conducting our relations with
that country, and no one that
could have been selected would be apt
to manage affairs at Madrid with less
reference to the effect of his position
on political matters at home. Cush-
ing is veteran diplomat, and unlike
many Of our foreign ministers is an
educated, polished man. He will fill
the position of minister with much
more dignity and ability than Sickles,
who, however well he was adapted to
the field, was certainly not success

the Lloyd Aspinwall was seized by the Span

1t said every now and then that its patience
was about to be exhausted; but ninety
days after the insult to our flag found Buchu
waiting patiently still. 1t foams with rage
when it hears of the Virgnius outrage and
then says to Spain:-'You have insultcd our
flag, captured United States vessel, butch
cred our citizens and those under the protection
of our flag, and you must set about preparing
to consider that satisfaction is due to u.s. A
little more, evidently, and Secretary Buchu
would have demanded satisfaction point

of the United States over the outrage Buchu
bristles all over with bayonets on Monday, but
slides down to the soft woolly exterior Of
a four weeks lamb on Wednesday. When
Consul Phillips was degraded and our flag
insulted Buchu could do nothing; he had to
s'wait for facts" If our Minister at Madrid
was assassinated our discreet Buchu would
buster along the Potomac for an hour
and a half and then sit down and
wait for ''offcal information" This
is not what America wants to-day or ever By
taking the reverse course to Secretary Buchu,
by acting with promptness and energy, by
saying what justice demands and then exacting
justice, by keeping the same front to the
strong as to the weak, and by giving up
mystery on one hand and bombast on the
other, our State Department would be worthy

SPANS DIRECTIONS TO OUR DEMANDS are built
mainly on the allegation that the virginius
was not an American vessel. The form Of these
objections will be found elsewhere. but their
only point in favor Of Spain is that to con-
slider them would necessitate indefinite DELAY.
The Spanish presumption, that the vessel
was not American when she actually
was so, in no way justifes the
Spaniards for seizing her and numbering
those on board. The position of parties in
Spain renders the tenure of the CASTELAR, Min

commerce is scarcely ever

not pay less than a million of
dollars annually for the dried
carcass of a tiny insect, the
cochineal. Gum shellac, an
other insect produced from In
da, is of scarcely less pecuniary
value. A million and a half of
human beings derive their able
support for the culture and
manufacture of silk, and the
silkworm alone creates an an
nual circulating medium be-
tween one hundred and fifty
and two hundred millions Of
dollars. Half a million of dol
lars is annually spent in Eng
land alone for foreign money
imported into that country each
year. Then there are the gall
