There is no greater reason why dogs iti this city should be muzzled in summer than in winter, yet an edict always goes forth about every year commanding the owners of dogs to resort to this cruel practice. hy, then, are dogs muzzled in summer and not in winter? It cannot be because the animals are more likely to go mad in hot than they are in cold weather; for ascording to the best collected statistics on tliatisubject, the pre ponderance of hydrophobia is in the depth of winter. I nder these circumstances, therefore, it BCI Ul * the height of cruelty to miftzlfe dogs m { he hottest period of summer, when such 82 Appliance necessarily prevents them from partaking of water, which is essential to 'ur comfort and healthy and is especially Crue l w hen there is really no conclusive licence that it is any benefit, except to the ho have a "contract sot construct muzzles. ’ w often have we said these things? i'- 'Unees of hydrophobia occuring lately ‘Uian beings who had never been bit k" ' a ra bid dog, or, indeed, by any dog, or sound, show that rabies may be i ? vradie ix meu as well as in dogs, and Muzzling is advisable in the one as a * re ' Cr -hve of the conveyance of hydrophobia *' ‘ s as necessary as the other.— Phila~ City Item.

The New York Tribune has a correspond ent who writes from Coldwater, Michigan, to say that he is sixty-eight years of age, that he has never uttered ait oath, never used a-dimes worth of tobacco, never bought or sold*a drop qf w,hiskey for himself, al ■mvugtnwt K-fint aJujiftL-in one of the Southern States, never played a game of marbles, or checkers, or billiards, and only twice in lii3 life has he had a pack of cards in his hands. He has traveled over one hundred thousand miles, and never met with an accident, nor has he ever been a moment Jlate. Among other accomplish ments, he declares that he call repeat more, of the bible than any man living of whom he has any knowledge; and he father de poses that he has preached for fifteen years that he has traveled five hundred miles to attend overfifty funerals and all the salary he ever received was a pound of tea worth seventy-five cents. For fifty seven years, he has not been confined to the house by bodily indisposition for forty-eight hours at a time. Often he has walked twenty four miles to attend divine service. Oid as he is, he can read without glasses. Balky Horses. It is rarely well to whip or kick or scold a balky horse, as is the common practice. One of the best modes is to feed him where he stands with any accessible food, such as oats, ears of corn, or even grass by the way side, or hay from the wagon,' which can be provided for the emergency. Forgetting his whim, he will generally start without trouble. Another good way is to do some thing not harmful, but new; as filling his inouth with loose .dirt, which a desire to get rid of will divert his thoughts, and be fore he knows it he will be jogging uncon sciously along. We have often seen this done with most satisfactory success. Some times, if one can spare the day, it is best to ■wait till, from weariness and liunger, the animal submits to your will, and the triumph in this instance is generally complete.— Ex. fecsFLowERS. —Let me urge upon my brother farmers to put in patch of sunflow ers. The yield is about equal to corn, and they require but the same attention ; as food for poultry and hogs far exceeding corn. A little occassionallv mixed with horse feed* gives a fine coat. Every farmers wife es pecially on the prairie, will be pleased to see a goodly lot stacked near the kitchen. For kindling it has no superior, and is easi ly prepared ; for a feeble child can break the largest stalk across the knee. It makes splendid bean poles j«plant as soon as the frost is out of the ground, and when it comes time to plant the beans the sunflow er will be knee high ; then thin out a to sin gle stalk and plant the bean at the root— you will thus get two crops. Chemists tell us its ashes contain fohrfold more alkali tViftTi ordinary wood. It is also a splendid protection from cold winds when set against Noath and west fences.

Ran dolph, on taking chair, sr.'J at this time when our Democratic bretheren in other States weem to havo become touched with tbic lever - of politic 1 revolution, our f.e on ordinarily discreet, teir. oewite, and diwp'v** sionate, will be looked to with more t. n orJirtnrT inioraai in aS Giber •States have given hasty utterance of opin ion and preferences we should give sober and thoughful utterances. The Baltimore Con vention will be composed of men who have higher motives than merely to beat Grant, and their motives will be £0 beat a corrupt and despotic administration. A Chief Magistrate who has brought hi3 worse mili tary habits of thought and action to the administration of civil affairs. With Grant ism broken, we know ho worse can com* and believe a better can be had. That wo shall obtain at Baltimore all that we deem desirable does not now seem pro bable, unless sojno unexpected reaction oc curs. The action of the Convention is a foregone conclusion. Indorsed at Balti more, I deem Greely’s election assured. Defeated there, his chances are* unworthy of attention. It is well known that my judgment has been against the indorsement of.the Cincin nati ticket. The Grovemdr proceeded to • state the purpose of the recent Fifth Avenue conferrence. He claimed that this confer ence was not a fiasco, but a succees, because it concentrated reliable information as to the weakness or strength of the Cincinnati ticket in nearly every State, and thus gave a basis for the decision that no new ticket could be now named with any political advantage. I think a more suitable nomi mation and a more acceptable candidate to tlie great body of Democratic votes could have been found. I know that we shall be charged with placing our life-long oppo nent at the head of our column in a day 6f ■iirr^yVM^tlv ; only take the leadership of a party that elects him after he has pronounced himself fully in favor of such old-fashioned Democratic principles as hostility to centralization, Op position to Federal interference in State and local affairs, condemnation of the sus pension of the writ of habeas corpus, fitil support of amnesty, a rigid adherence to cilvil service reform, opposition to the bay onet election laws and the like. Now if Greely can Accomodate himself to such un compromising Democratic views as these, we can accept his conversion even if it be a trifle unexpected. In conclusion, Gov. Handolph said that they had to contemplate the almost certain indorsement of Greely at Baltimore, and with it the assured defeat of Centralism— a great victory, because, if Greely had no loftier views, no greater intelligence, than Grant, he would be powerless, where Grant’s power is almost without limit. Greely would bo the occupant of a high office, but his power to abase it would be jeaously guarded by Loth. friends and foes. Jlis might be the place, *but the power with Grant defeated will bo i v legated to the peo ple and there representatives. A Child Attacked by a Leopard. The excessive heat which has prevailed for some days past rendered the animals in the Central Park menagerie, New York, unusually morose and irrit#>M<*» visitors we re warned not to opproach their cage, last Sunday evening the house containing the lions, tigers, and leopards was densely packed with sightseers. Among these con greated before the cage of a magnificient leopard were Mr. Wm. C. Coffee, of 2GI West Houston street, and his little son, about five years of age. Mr. Coffe, lost in gazing at the leopard, failed to notice that j the child had passed under the outer bar, and was standing with hisr face prssed against the cage. The savage beast within, | however, was not slow to observe it, and, bounding suddenly to the bars, he imbed ded his claws.in the boy's face. The child’s shrieks induced the belief that some of the beasts had broken loose, and a rush for the ! door ensured, the panic being increased by the roars of the other animals, and the wild est excitement prevailed. Meanwhile the father tore his child away, but not before his face had been badly lacerated. Tbe leopard was subsequently removed into one of the upper cages.— N. 1. Sun.

You're soft-headed.' I tell you. George, Iam 1 making momey.

So you can just see how I feel.’ ‘Pijarf!’ Sbirtly afterward George Austin went away to the printing-office and as it was well into the eve ning >ohn made preparations for closing up. He had jilt most of his jewelry into the safe when tbe dor of his office was opened, and an enderly gentljnan entered—a good looking man he was. and try respectablv dressed, though his garb was muchworn, and* considerably soiled, and smelled stronjy of salt water. ‘ls,he proprietor in ?’ asked the gentleman. Jon nodded assent. ‘>l Slurr, I think V Jqn repeated his assenting nod. ‘I b caught, in a tight place,’ said the geritle i manWith a grim aid ghastly smile, as though a 1 pawnbroker s shop was about the most uncomforh- able place he could have selected in* which to ea* cape from his tightness, ‘i have just landed, hera in yoht city, and discover that my luggage, by the most ridiculous oversight on my part, has gone on to New York.

Ro Tam forced (another grim, ghastly -mile* to have recourse to an establish ment where credit, un%y be laid upon a ready col lateral.’ «JA. i Gleddin howr-d politely, and said he should | be happy to ba of service. Then tire .gentleman' took from his pocket a morocco case, upon opening which he exposed a gold watch. John took the watch and turned to the gas jef, and upon examining it he found it to be a masterpiece of one Cf the most celebrated Swiss makers—a st&ni-w inder, full ruby-jewelled of most exquisue adjustment and finish. He knew that the first cost of that watch had been not loss than three hundred dollars in gold. • * ‘ How much did you want on this?’ he a«ked, returning the watch to the case. *1 want enough to get me safely to New York.’ John started off upon an explanation of the many and extreme risks of his business ; but the gentleman stopped him abruptly. ‘I ask you to run no risk on my account. Ido not propose to sell the watch. I only wish to leave it with you as security for a vury small sum- I have another jfist like it, —I bought them*as presents for two friends of mine, and would not sell them for ten tirnea their value. Fifty dollars will answer.’ John tried to cough down the idea of advanc ing so much, but the cough stuck in his throat. ‘For how long db )du want the fifty dollars Y ‘For—say—two weeks’ Never mind the various dodges attending the transaction on the part of the broker. Suffice it_ to say that he dt length counted oilt fifty dollars to his customer, and took the watch ; and the ‘trade,’ as he termed it, stood thus: At any time within two weeks the gentleman could redeem Jbe watch upon the payment of sixty dollars. ‘Esther steep interest,’ said the elderly gentle man, with a smile far more grim and severe than’ any which bad preceded it. John would have again explained the enormous Y»#k*. oi his business, bat tbs cusitytiiet wo^d •What name ?’ said John, holding* his pen over his entry-book. ‘Put it down Simon Snibbs, if you must have a name.’ So John put it down, and then he put the watch away, and the customer departed with thri fifty dohara. , After the man had gone John Giedden took out the watch arid looked at it again. His eyes spark led eagerly. Suppose anything should happen to preterit the prompt redemption of the valuable pledge? The thought thrilled him through and through. The days passed—and a week passed. The days passed again, and another weA had sped bjr. At length the elderly gentleman returned, and asked for his watch• ‘What hdme?, aske’d John., professing to hath forgotten. ‘Snibbs—Simon Snibbs.’ ‘Ah. yes. I remember. Let me see.’ And he looked ever his-books. ‘Really, Mr: Snibbs, you must have made a mistake. I have no watch of years.’ " •ilow, sir?’ cried the customer, in blank amaze mc;r, ‘Did I cot leave with you a valuable gold wat.:b as security for a certain sum which I bor rowed of you?’ . . John smiled blandly. ‘Not exactly as you put it, Mr. Snibbs. If you will i . fresh your memory, you will recollect that 1 bought tbe watch—that, for value received, you gave me a re f , liar hill of sale—with the proviso, however, that u, wi;hia two waeks from the date thereof, you should pay to me the sura of sixty dollars iu current funds, the watch should become your property. The weeks expired yester day, sir!’ • * ‘But—Sir! Will you— ’ John put up lu3 hand reprovingly. ‘There i3 no need of going into passion, my dear sir. You see ju t how the matter stands.’ From.a towermg rage the old naan descended to argun.ent and explanation. He told how he had been detained in New York by an unavoidable ac cident, and how he hid embraced the first possi ble opportunity to call tor his watch. ‘I had not worried much,’ he said, ‘because I had not thought that any man coull be.so con summately mean and cold-bloodedly heartless and vile as to rob me upon such a pretext.’ At this John waxed wroth, aud ordered the man to leave his office. And. the old gentleman, evidently fearing that He should be led to the commission of some fool ish outrage if he remained longer within the vil lainous influence, closed hi* clips tightly together, and went away. On the afternoon of that very day John Gled den sold the wyitch to an ageut of a Philadelphia house for two hundred and seventy-five dollars. * ‘H?-waK ?He cried, *s George Austin dropped in during the evening. ‘Plod on at your type-case, old fellow on P ‘What's up, John?’ ‘The greatest operation I ever ftia.de —two hun dred and t wenty-five dollars, in pocket at a single turn of the die—interest on fifty dollars for two weeks ?
