THE Philadelphia Jnijuw rcgreti the seeming impossibility of, r-'flking Mr. BOUTWELL understand that it is no. a wise thing to pay off our debt in hLecn yearn, even at the cost of National piosperity. But it is possible to comiiitc Congress of theabsurdity oi Mi. BOLTWELL'B policy, and it is Congie.-s, and not the Secretary, who levies taxes.

THAT very

good-looking and pleasant

man, but most incorrigible demagogue, the Hon. T. A. HENDRICKS opened the campaign in Knox county, :u A ihc.'iuic.-, on Saturday. His speech, wluth published in tlieSentinel, is an appeal to avarice and anii-negio prejudice—and hU Bort of tiling is what pii.-se.* ilh '1"- democracy for "Sla'.CMiian.-hip

PRESIDENT GRANT could nol RO more acceptable service ihe c.o.nii\ than to ve'.o the Northern Pacific Tl.ulroad bill. We earnestly hope he will do it. The measure has been can itil ,b a combination of inlet e*lf, and decidedly adverse lothe public good. '1 his is piecisely one of these case* in which the "Veto power may be exercised with entire impunity and propriety.

HON. IIOKATIO SI.YMOUJ:, President of the American DairyUHII'.- Association, who once ran on a Democratic ticket f(^' President of the United Sti'.ies, is compli mented in the last Hw th ami Home with a portrait of himself and a diag ain of his farm. FOKNKY'S iVW kindly lemarks that Mr. SEYMOVK is un esiimable coun try gentleman, hospitable, intelligent, and esteemed by his neiglibors, who knowing fyirn well, overlook*,the temporary weakness which induced him to lend his name to the, use of a broken down political organization of fal.-e pretences and disloyalty.

THE thousands of citizens who attended the decoration exercises, on Monday, lion ored themselves ill doing honor to the memory Of the brave men whose dust sleeps in our cemetery. "Dccoration Day," with its beautiful ccienionies, may now be ga Jed as permanently established llci-eitfter, on every 30th of June, the lloral liibute to the mcinoiy of patriot ism will be laid upon the giave ol every inurtvr who fell in the Avar of the rebellion. There may be those who "can see no utility in such a ceremony,'' but the great mass of the people will see to it that fitting a custom shall not fall into dis use.

THE Collectors of Internal ltcvcniu are charged with the amount due on the tax roll in their respective districts, and, to balance the books, should be credited not only with what they collect, but with what they are unable to collect. By some blundering, this has not been dune, in several cases, and the delinquent list is liuralded as a \:i icatioii oi the otliicer! The Chi a-o Ileptifilicun states that it is in this way ihe Democratic press has manufactured much of its recent thunder. Every oflieer who can not collect his roll is charged with stealing an amount equal to the delicicufy? even when balancing the books shows that the Government is indebted to him This kind of thunder li.n no lightning in its composition.

FC THE Sat!ind again attempts to whitewash VooiutEKsbv showing that Republican^ vote a Willi him, for toe land-grab-bers' scheme. That sort An tactics will not win. It is not admissible, in any court, to clear ihe defendant by proving guilty of similar crime*.

It is a little singular that the ibniincl should be willing to sacrifice Me-srs Hor,MAN, NIIJ3..U'K and KEUK in order to save DANIEL, but if the Democracy of the* Democratic. Congressional districts-repre-sented by those three able men are willing to see the organ cast them overboard, in order lo mnke port with DAN'S heavy freight of political sins, we ought not to complain. A state organ, like an in"Vlividual, is soiuitimes compelled to make choice between friends, and there ma lie reasons for turning one's back on three and embracing one with a fraternal hug.

The credit of our city is, idoub'edly. good in financial circles, but it will not lake many years of Democratic rule to destroy it, even at the present ate of progress. It will be remembered that the rate of taxation under Republican management was 90 cents the hundred dollars. The Democracy took ihe helm, and clapped on cents more, and that, too, on a tax duplicate nearly ilneeqnarters of a million in excess of the duplicate for tlie preeeedinj year. These are tlia plain, undeniable fticN, and they show the utter folly of theJoaA^.'s euu:y boastin

THE Express intimates its opposition to the permanent improvement of Main street.—Journal.

IT is not pleasant to use-Hhrsh words, but we are compelled to b: and the above as false.

the thousand-and-one campaigns that were drawn up by amateurs during the course of the war for the Union, the wonder grows how a lady could have summoned up courage enough to ask for compensation for what was snppo ed to be a patriotic pastime and if Miss CARROLL is compensated, why not her tortv-nine thousand nine hundred and niaety-nine •-.Allow strategists and if those claims are all-Wlowed, the million and a half of our «low cituens who have developed cmes for the liquidation of the Nationdebt may as well begin to make out lr Uttle bills for valuable ^financial •^ideireft government.

THE <Express> is indignant at the idea of its "intimating" an opposition to the permanent improvement of Main street. As that paper has never insisted upon the

improvement, and has criticised [sic] the course of the <Journal> upon the subject, the inference was entirely fair that it entertained no particular partiality for making Main street a paved or bouldered thoroughfare.—<Journal>. The EXPRESS in numerous articles, advocated the abandonment of the present course of wasting money in the temporary patching up of streets, and the adoption of a system of permanent street improvements, commencing with the principal business thoroughfares.

The EXPRESS has <not>, at any time, "criticised the course of the <Journal> upon this subject," and we defy the editor, of

that paper to produce any such criticism from our columns. "The inference" was entirely false, resting on imaginary premises. And we again call upon the <Journal> either to produce something from the EXPRESS showing wherein we have "intimated opposition to the improvement of Main street," or to confess that the accusation was utterly baseless. ———<>———

Witii.t- Democrats are seeking to make capital with the Catholics out of the late ncliori in Congress on the q,ie.ition of a resident minister at Rome, if is iclie-hing lo f-nd the facts candidly stated by a Catholic journal. The Btookl\n Eugle having attributed the refusal ol a uunis ier to. Koine to religious bigotry, the Btgi«!er, a Catholic paper of that city, flatly contradicts tlie charge, because there is a suflicient reason of a very different character, and says

The truth of the matter is that when thcGovcrnment of'.he United Stales withdrew its representative from Rome, it did so on account of the apparent ingratitude of the P.oman Government in not recognizing the services which our Minister rewdered to it in the'niost critical pciiod of its existence.

The Register then recalls the action of Minister CASS at the time of the Eoiuan revolution, in saving the Propaganda College from tlie mob by raising the American Hag over it and reminds us ol the forgetfulness of this kindness exhibited by the Papal Government subsequently:

When our troubles at home were so great, as not to allow us even to take cognizance of foreign injustice, our Minister at Koine was iulbrined that he was not permitted any longer to have Protestant worship at his residence. We were in Rome at the time, and wc felt then as we feel now, and we remember well the magnanimity of Mr. Stockton, the American Minister, who sen' his own Hag to be unfurled over the American Catholic College, if then '.the threatened invasion of Rome should require it.

To the Editor oj tne hul. Joiirtitflc When it l.ad become evident to my mind that continued opposition,_ on the paw of the Demoeraey of the North to the war against the rebels of ihe South, might result in the severance of the Union instead of its restoration, 1 published a letter in which I declared my purpose to support the Administration in the prosecution of the war as the only means of saving the Union.- I'or this I was denounced by leading Democrats, published as being insanv, ridiculed in "Northwest passage,'-' literature, etc. For this 1 have never been forgiven by leading Democrats and am still occa^ionallv a Sailed by them publicly, especially bv" thoe who are in favor of saddling upon the Stale its old Canal bonds, as I happen to have evidence satisfactory to my own mind. But as the time has come when 1 expect to support the country in preference to partv, if I h.ivc not always done it, partisan slang is to^ be a matter ot' inditlerence. S. K. PERKINS.

AX IOWA WONDER.

A Cave New, Wonderful and Endless, so Far as Explored.

A wonderful discovery has just been made about six miles west ol Debuq'a, Iowa, which consists of a cave of immense dimensions arid beauty. While mining for lead ore, a Mr. ltfce made the discovery in opening a narrow possage, which he followed about seven hundred feet,leading into a large room,connected by a narrow passage with many others, which he followed a distance of about one thousand feet, where the cave soemed to terminate. lie afterward sunk a shaft thirty feetdeep, intersecting the cave near its termination,-and he and liis party ot live desended and entered another narrow pa sage of about one hundred feet, where it expands into a large hall of one hundred feet in length, forty or fifty feet witie, and from ten to fifteen feet high, and ornamented with stalactites of great beaut v, the roof, like a minia ture sky, studded and spangled with orbs of mosi brilliant lustre, and presenting a crvstailine surface of exquisite fineness and lustre, which Hashes by the light of [lie torches with great brilliancy. From this coo in (he cave branches in two directions, at an angle of about forty degrees, which, oil being traversed for about half iv mile, the explorers found several other chambers of even greater dimensions, and greatly exeeedinglhe tirst in beauty and interest, the entire sides and roofs being covered with snow-white stalactites and frost like encrustations of carbonate of lime and gypsum.

In many parts of the cave might also be seen aiuvouiie: and at distances var\*in from ten to lifteen feet, are deep re-ces.-vs in !ie alls so large and high in some cu.'-es as to enable theui to walk about them. On the floors of the^e recesses many stalagmites had formed, one reseuibiing a huge polar bear, and other formations re-euibiing clusters of grapes, etc. In another place a hand was distinctly traced. The water in the cive is so ciear that in places where it is ten iuelios deep does not appear to be more thau two. The pariv remained in the cave about six hours and traveled in it about two miles.

vMisery and Happiness.

The tnmiy of human life is made up of large masses, each separated from the other bv certain interv.ils. One year the death of a cliiid years ui' er faitu in trade after another longer or shorter interval a da.ighter mav have married unhappily in all but the singuiaily unfortunate, the integral parts that com(ose the sum to'.ai of ihe unhappiness of a man's life are easily counted and distinctly remembered. The happiness of life, on the contrary, is nuide up of minute fracuon^jthe soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile a kinc, look a heartfelt compliment in the disguiieof playful raillery, andthecountloss ouier iniinitesimal of pleasurable thought and genial feelin?.—Coleridge.

THE Senate of the United State-i has performed an act of tardy justice. It has determined to pay the female clerk* in the departments the same salaries as the male clerks, thus rectifying an abuse and righting an outrageous wrong to which the sanction of the Government has already been too long given.

SPEAKING of Daniel's action in relation to the^forthern Pacific Railroad, the Indianapolis Journal says "the course of Mr_ Voorhees is known to his constituents, lie refrained from voting upon any one of the amendments, but when he saw the bill was carried, he voted in the negathe to =ave himself at home.

THE Philadelphia Press seems gratified at the fact that Delaware can no longer claim the monopoly of those twin relics of medievalism—the whipping post and pillorv. A middle-aged man was pub licly punished with twenty lashes by order of a court in London, Ontario, on Friday, the 20th. It was the first case of whipping in Canada under an act passed in 1869. The eyes of all Delaware will be directed lo this new rival in barbarism.

Indeed, he smokes out corruption wherever it exists, and lays a heavy hand on wastefulluess and extravagance, with a puff, lie has smoked a hundred million tlie national debt, and off the expenses of the Government some fifty millions year, and, the habit seems to be growing on him.

MRS. E.CADY STANTON has relaxed her hold en the helm of the Revolution, abandoning that journal'to less able guidance. Her redoubtable coadjutor, the invincible Miss. Susan B. Anthony, has found a more genial field for her labors in the mighty West, and the Revolution has been given up to masculine hands) who have transformed the handiwork of the woman's righters into a stock company, with the balance of power in the hands of Theodore Tilton, who as an editor of an out-and-out woman's rights journal, is no more to be compared with Mrs, Stanton and Miss. Anthony than pigmy to Hercules. But the Rcivlulion will doubtless keep on revolving until it again rolls into earnest feminine hands or it may in the course of time, become a conservative Men's rights journal. Since it has been deserted by its founders even such a great change, is possible.

A Question Settled.

Old Job was a quiet old man, but somewhat too fond of the bottle. When in his cups, his idea tended toward theological matters, which he always, avoided°in his sober moments. It was Saturday afternoon (Connecticut baking day), and his good wife wanted some wood for the. oven. "Joe, I do wish you would go and split some wood. Here it is nearly 2 o'clock, and the fire isu made.'

Joe went to execute his commission, but fearing his phvsicial condition was

weak,

marched to 'the neighboring tavern to fortify himself therein. He returned home utterly oblivious to all these tilings, sate "his pet theories. Seating himself on his chair, he said "1 say (hici), Jane, do you (hie) tlunk the Lord (hie) means to burn us alf (hie) up in tire?"

His venerable spouse, being cxccedinglv irate, did not answer. Again he repeated the question. Still an ominous silence. "Wife, do vou think the Lord means to burn us up in fire everlasting?" "No!" said the now thoroughly aroused housewife "no, vou old fool, not if He waits for you to "split the wood 1"

IT IS painful to see the announcement columns of some of our State exchanges filling up with the names of the same old fogies who have been candidates, and nothing else, ever since they were old enough to vote. One would think that twenty or thirty successive defeats would take a little of the conceit out of them, but such is not the case. On the contrary, their confidence increases as the record of their failures" lengthens, and they will, probubly, continue to martyr until the Great Reaper gathers them in.

AN Indianapolis paper states that tlie family of Mrs. Buchanan, near Christiansburg, Brown county, consisting of six persons,, were poisoned last Monday morning at breakfast. As soon a3 it was known the eldest son, David, eighteen years old, started for a physician, but died before reaching him. The others were alive when last heard from. Three packages of poison were found in the well. It is supposed that a relative from Ohio, who lias been in the neighborhood for some time, is the guilty person. They inherit jointly with him a large estate. Tie has been trying to buy their interest but could not, and it is supposed he took this way to get their portion of the property.

IT turns out, as we predicted, that Evansville has not quite "thirty miles of gas mains." The <Courier> of that city, says:

About two years and six months ago tlie length of gas mains in Evansville were extended through our streets five and a half miles. The report of the secretary shows this fact. Since then two miles and a half additional have been laid, making a total of <eight> miles of mains.

We charge nothing for setting the people of Evansvilie right on their local affairs, as we have had frequent occasions to do, but think the <Courier> might have given us credit for suggesting a fact which it might have used with much effect, in the recent water works campaign. ———————

THE placidity of Vinccnnes has been disturbed by two matrimonial sensations. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Chroniclc writes:

Weddings are a novelty with some people, who never tire in hurrying lo the church to see the knot matrimonial tied whenever there is a free blow. Wehav had what some call a "fashionable wedding in high life," the ceremony taking place in St. James Episcopal Church, which was thronged to witness the mor than usual event—all things considered The bride and fair attendants were dress ed in the usual ddusions incident upon an event 'so happy, while connoisseurs and well-pcsted dames assert that the wardrobe of the bride, has never been equalled for magnificence in Hoosierd.-.a, embracing no le3s than three full Sa..uogas. We would be glad to describe the orange blossoms, and other wedding fixings, but pen and pencil would fail to do justice to tlie occasion.

We have had also a wedding sensational in the highest degree, where a boy and girl of fifteen and eighteen, left their-pas and mas, and fixed up and carried out an elopement. Rumor says the friends of the young lady wero cognizant of tlie intended wedding, and rather winked at the idea, because a rich uncle had willed his all to tlfe boy namesake, and the match would be a profitable and wise proceeding, even if it did not meet with the approbation of the rich uncle and friends. Since the announcement of the marriage the uncle lias destroyed the aforesaid will, and as the youth has no visible means of support his prospects for the future are not very Haltering. We hope thai the married children will be ll tar ed for, as spiing chickens of this should be looked alter.

AN INTERNAL CRIME.

Tlie Most Conclusive Proof Yet of the Total Depravity of Man.

From the Now Yorh Herald.] The crime charged against a man named Lange, a dealer in picture frames in this city, is one that should give him a pre-eminence in. tlje criminal catalogue for diabolical intent. He shipped a box in April last on the New Orleans steamer, and secured au insurance on it of one thousand six hundred and lifty dollars, and the box proved to have been prepared with explosive and inflammable material, and was only prevented from burning the ship by the watchfulness and activity of the captain. In the box were vessels of alcohol, gasoline and turpentine, and fire was apparently to have been set to these bv a chemical that would explode witli slight friction. The friction was provided for by mice shut in a box, whtf, in gnawing their way out, were to fire the train that might have destroyed the ship and all her company at sea. Here, then, is, if the charge prove true, a man who deliberately contrives that awful calamity, fire on a ship at sea—contrives the possible frightful death of twenfv or thirty persons—to secure the small piece of sixteen hundred dollars insurance money. He should be tried by a jury of sea captains and sailors. It is a remarkable coincidence that this crime was attempted against the steamer George Washington, while some years since a crime of the same nature was contrived in the shipment of goods on the Mississippi -teaLucr Martha WTashington.

1B"' Episode ia the History of the Hapsbiirgs.

LA»X, ALICE HAY.

.'in tlie vanlt of th» imperial chapel at Vienna there rests one small simple coffin. More than a century has elapsed since the day when it was deposited in that gloomy mansion of the dead and, perhaps, very few persons are acquainted with the brief touching story of the young princess whose ashes it contains.

The Archduchess Maria Josepha was the fairest, the gentlest, and the most beloved of the six beautiful daughters of Maria Theresa and Francis of Lorraine The emperor idolized her, and the imperious empress-queen, who had little' time or inclination to lavish caresses on her children, was known to regard her with peculiar indulgence. Contemporary writers all agree in praising the beauty, the peculiar sweetness of disposition, and the winning grace which made the young archduchess so lovely and so lovable whilst her passionate^ attachment for her family,and especially for her father, made her their idol. The sudden death of the Emperor Francis in 1764 was the first shadow cast on the bright existence of Josepha and it is said that from thenceforth a deep melancholy oppressed the young archduchess.

Time passed away: the princess was now in her sixteenth year, and rumors of her approaching marriage had already been for some months in circulation, when it was officially announced that the hand of Maria Josepha of HapsburgLorraine had been plighted to the young King Ferdinand II. of.Naples. The alliance was every way brillant and advantageous it secured an influential and important ally to tfye Austrian empire it increased the dignity of the imperial family and it enable Maria Theresa to encircle the brow of her beautiful daughter with a crown matrimonial. The mar-riage-treaty was signed, the preparations completed, and the betrothal took place on the 8th August, 1767. The empress was radiant with smiles, the court put aside the mourning and gloom which had hung over it since the emperor's death, and became once more the scene of gayety and splendor. Fetes, balls, entertainments of every kind followed in rapid succession,and only oneperson seemed to shrink fromthe bridal festivities: that person was the imperial bride hereself.

From the moment when the fact of her betrothal to Ferdinand of Naples had been announced to her, Josepha's deep melancholy had steadily increased. Day by day she became more gloomy and depressed. She showed no interest in the preparlions for her journey. She appeared indeed at the court festivities, but it was evident that her thoughts were far otherwise occupied. More than once she was heard to declare that her marriage would never take place, and that the journey to Naples would never be undertaken by her. But no one heeded the princess' prediction. The day for lier proxy was fixed, and also that for her quilting Vienna.

The evening before the wedding-day tiie empress sent for her daughter, and commanded her to repair (.done to the imperial vault and there, kneeling by her father's coffin, to pay for the repose of his soul. Tlie archduchess shrank from this ghastly ordeal. She entreated her mother to spare her so painful and terrifying a task but prayers and entreaties were in vain. Maria Theresa was little used to opposition, especially from her own children she refused to listen to her daughter's pleading, and she peremptorily insisted on licr orders being obeyed.

Josepha descended alone into the vault where a short time before had been buried tlie remains of the Empress Marie Josephine of Saxony, wife of Joseph II., who had died of malignant small-pox. "I go to my tomb," were the mournful words of the archduchess and her presentiment was fatally verified. The following day she was taken ill small-pox soon declared itself, and after a very short struggle for life, Josepha died on the day that had been fixed for her leaving Vienna for Naples.

The coffin of the a rchduckess was placed by that of her father and if Maria Theresa "felt any remorse for her cruel despotism, she speedily forgot her bereavement in negotiations lor securing the Neapolitan alliance lo licr next daughter, the Archduchess Caroline. She became Queen of Naples, and her career of political and personal infamy is too well known to need any recapitualtion.

The eagerly desired alliance brought only shame and disaster to those concerned in it. And who will not say that the more fortunate of the royal sisters was the early dead, dying in the spring-tide of her youth, unsullied by the world, ignorant alike of its pleasures and its sorrows?

Truly of Josepha of Austria may it be said, that she was "taken away from the evil to come."

Frightful the

Struggle—Death Nile.

From Egyptian Skctchcs in tho N. Y. Mail.] When at last the boat settled down, the Syrian plunged into the stream, and, keeping his head well above it, struck out for the shore at a point, where he saw it shelving: down to the water's edge

iriigSVith long sWong

blin'g an old log floating from the muddy bank toward him. As there was no cur rent from the shore this struck him as strange but his surprise was changed in to horror jw'acn the object approached nearer, disclosing to his gaze, under the moonlight, the scaly back and unshapelj bulk of the crocodile! Most dreaded of all tenants of that slimy flood, thongl but rarely seen so low down the river.— As the monster moved through the water with a movement indicating the vast propulsive power in its short fore-arms and muscular tail—lashigg the river into foam as it forced upward—Daoud could distinguish his sharp snout elevated above, the flood, and the small, glittering, ser^ pent-like eyes it fixed on its destined prey Each second brought the fell monster nearer the man while the huge jaws would occasionally open, displaying the sharp double rowjof glistening teeth which armed them—then close again with a snap like the music of castanets, resound ing through the stillness. Imminent and deadly was the peril, as Daoud well knew but he lost no heart nor hope. His nerves steeled to danger in its most fearful shape during the recent trials, did not fail him no v.

But he felt a deadly sickness at heart, for an instant, at the new and hideous form of the peri), thus suddenly confronting liiui at ihe very moment of his fancied escape from all his danger just when he was making his good resolves for a tranquil future. Never before had he encountered this dread monster but he knew its nature and its habits well for he hnd often heard Arabs of the Upper Nile tell of their encounters with, and victories over it and he therefore understood which way the path of safety lay. He allowed the greedy monster to approach within two lengths of him— simply floating himself on the surface of the water, with a.wary eye fixed on the movement of his adversary. Flight he knew would be speedy and certain death. He waited till he could see the very twinkle of its hoiigry eye—then dived down into the Cood, his dagger bare in his right hand! The moment after the huge bulk of the crocodile seemed convulsed with a sudden pang as it abruptly twisted itself round, lrshing the water into foam wilh its terrible tail, and .snapping its jaws fiercely together, while its snaky eye emitted sparks of fire! Then it sullenly sunk under the water too, and the calm moonlight shone on the rippling river, showing no form of man nor reptile on its agitated surface. But the water where the crocodile had sunk was discolored with a dark red slain, which showed the Syrian's dagger had found a vulnerable spot. He had dived beneath the scaly armor which protected it from above, and struck an upward blow. Next moment the man rose again to the surface, twenty yards further down stream, and struck out vigorously for the shore, but the current seized and bore him still farther down. And in it floated, in pur-

great

wounds of its desperate antagonist, whose human intelligence, craft and coaxare waged war against its superior strength At length it seemed human intellect, when backed by courage, wta destined to conquer brute force—even -in a conflict apparently unequal as his, for, after the third plunge, the huge,, scaly bulk seemed to Uoat abnost helpleffily upon the water: whilethef-iver can red with the life-tide ebbing from the ghastly wonnds, and the dim eye shone no more with hate but had an almost human expression of agony and despair lurking in its fit ny and glaring orbs. The crocodile was ^evidently well nigh struggling in its death-throes and the mighty Jframe seemed contracted ana convulsed with fhe near approach of the final spasm. The man was nowhere to be seen. Just then, panting, worn, exhausted, but still unwounded. Daoud, the dagger in his right hand, rose to the surface, but unhappily within a yard of the almost vanquished monster. The scaly thing saw him! and with a mighty effort of expiring energy, struck out widely with his strong tail. It fell, like a flail, on the head "of the Syrian, stretching him senseless and powerless besjde his enemy! The next moment the dying crocodile twisted his body round, opened his mighty jaws with a final and convulsive effort—and when they closed again, within them was the writhing body of the

Syrian caught as in some huge trap, which crushed bone, muscle, sinew, and flesh into one undistinguishable mass! And locked tight in the death-spasm those jaws never unclosed again. But the scaly bulk of the crocodile, beasing in its dead jaw the corpse of its destroyer floated down the current of the Nile, under the still moonligM, to the open sea, which was to retain the relics of both until the hour shall come when that sea shall give up its dead.

Of Dogs.

From the New York Tribuno.] There is a great deal of good sense in the proposition of Mr. Reeves to tax dogs, which the Committee of Ways and Means is now considering. Dogs in this country may be classified as follows: 1. Dogs kept for the purposes of defense. There are not many of these, and there is no reason why, as their owners are usually in good circumstances, they should not be taxed. 2. Dogs kept for prize-fight-ing. These should be -taxed, and, if discrimination can be made, as heavily as possible. 3. Dogs kept for shooting purposes. These are mostly the property of well-to-do men who can afford to pay for luxuries. 4. Pets, including poodles, King Charles spaniels, grayhounds. black-qjid-tan terriers, and every animal which goes by the name of lap-dog. These will bear taxation to almost any extent. 5. Wandering, worthless and ownerless curs. These should be exterminated.

We trust that we shall not offend the sensibilities of Mr. Senator Sumner by the apparent ferocity of our last observation for really there Is a great deal more humanity in killing a vagrant dog than in permitting him to live on without regular food and shelter. Moreover, such a creature is the most likely to go mad, and bite the neighborhood and in certain districts his taste for mutton of his own killing is found to be decided as well as disagreeable to sheep-keepers. And as to the general purpose of the measure, we may say that dogs come much nearer to being luxuries than many other objects of liberal taxation. We should be sorry to hurt the feelings of any proprietor of a faithful and affectionate dog I ray, whose breast is white, his toniic back

AVecl clad in coat o'glo3sy bl rk His gawcie tall in upward Curl Hung o'er his hardies wi a swirl. It would be more abominably selfish not to be willing to pay a tax upon the possession of so much beauty and intelligence.

It is unusually thought that the complaints made by sheep-owners against dogs are unfounded but we suspect that the annual loss sustained is greater than that reported. In Maine alone, and

As the light makes us see all things around us clearly, so may the Great Spirit maks our talk plain that we may understand each other, and that our councils shall be as brothers who have met to smoke the yipe of peace.

Father—I have heard that you are great and good. Listen to me, my father, and let your ears hear one of your children who comes from tlie wigwams of his people with truth in his heart and no lies upon his lips. I have made many treaties with your Commissioners, and they have never kept their promises, and I have now come to see my great father myself, so that we can understand each 'other and make no promises that we do not mean to keep. They have told you that I ara a murderer, but I do not understand it that way. You, great father, have driven me away from my country, the only country I had-to raise my children on. Tell me, father, could any living man on this earth stand such a thing as this? Suppose I should go to your country, tear down your fences and steal your cattle and yonr hogs, would you stand by and have no word to say? No, father, I know you would not..

MADISON, IND., May 31.—A fatal riot and shooting affray occurred in this city about seven o'clock this evening, the particulars of which are substantially as follows:

John Gavin, a well-known Irishman who has figured conspicuously in political circles hereabouts for several years, got into a difficulty with a miller by the name of Messmere and struck him. Messmere, who is a quiet and peaceable man, imme-

diately put himself on the defensive and the two clinched each other. About this time Mr. John W. Linck, prosecutor of our Criminal Court, who happened to be passing at the time, appeared in the attitude of peacemaker and endeavored to separate the combatants.

Gavin then loosed his hold on Messmere and at once assaulted Linck. One or two other men, who it seems were in company with Gavin in the first place and had been drinking with him, also joined in the attack on Linck. The lat- ter proved to be equal to the occasion and successfully held his opponents at bay single handed for sometime. Gavin, struck at Linck several times, but his blows were warded off. Linck out-flank-ing him felled him to the ground with his fists.

Finally a man by the name of Griffin, an employe of Gavin, ran up and struck him with a dray pin, but failed to knock him down. It is said other weapons, were also drawn on Linck by the friends of Gavin.

Finally the street fight terminated, and Marshal Wheedon came to the scene with writs for the arrest of the offenders. Gavin swore he would not be taken, and threatened to shoot the Marshal if he attempted it. Drawing his weapons he defied the authorities. Wheedon finding himself in a desperate situation demanded a surrender, and at length in self-de-fense fired at Gavin. The ball entered Gavin's head near his eye. He fell and almost instantly expired.

The coroner is now holding an inquest on the body, which lies at the residence of the deceased. No one seems surprised at the death of Gavin, as from his drinking, quarrelsome disposition those who knew him fully expected that sooner or later he would meet with a violent death. He leaves a wife and several children, who, however, are not likely to suffer, as it is understood Gavin possessed some

considerable property. ———<>———

Ceremonies commenced at one clock, when a national salute of 21 guns was fired by Dupont's light battery, and the Marine Baud then performed a dirge written for the occasion by Ilenry Frees. The assemblage was then called to order at the main stand, which was filled with distinguished visitors, while the space in front was filled with persons for whom seats had been erected.

Major Timothy Lubey, Department Commander, called the assemblage to order. After prayer by Rev. Dr. Newman, a grand chorus consisting of 500 singers sang "A Strong Castle is our Lord," the full marine band accompanyin" them. Dr. C. C. Cox read a poem written by himself for the occasion.
