-¥ THE SAVANNAH RECORDER. Monday, February 17, 1879. Death of a Missouri Dog that had Aided for Years in the Preven¬ tion of Crime. [St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette.] “Allen Pinkerton,” the dog detec¬ tive of the St, Joseph Police force, is dead. Hundreds of our people who for the past eight years have seen a queer-looking little black dog, with white hair around his neck and a bushy tail that curled over his back, will read th’S announcement with surprise and ;enuine regret. The first known of the jog turned is that 10 years the ago residence he mysterious¬ of John ly where up at he remained for about O’Connor, he two years, At the end of that time became a voluntary member of the Po¬ lice force, and demeaned himself in such a manner as to gain the name of “Allen Pinkerton,” after the noted Chicago detective. He followed the men about day and night; first one member of the force and then another. Many a dark night has he assisted the officers in discovering the whereabouts of tramps who had concealed them selves in empty barrels and boxes, and his terrifying bark has caused hun¬ dreds of petty thieves to take to their heels. He prowled about the darkest corners in the alleys, and whenever an intoxicated man was found a yelp or two was sufficient to bring up the near¬ est officer to look into the matter. His well-known voice was relied on with as much confidence as the sound of a po¬ liceman’s whistle, and it was always answered. At roll call he was as prompt as any of the men, and on such occasions he was the ptt of the office. He had a most wonderful sagacity, and orders appeared the to almost comprehend the of chief. Nearly every lady who visited the morning market knew the dog, and spoke kindly to him, while the market women petted and caressed him when¬ ever he came about, and always bad a dainty morsel with which to tickle hit palate. Allen has been growing Of late years feeble, and for the past six months or a year he has been able to travel with his old associates but little. Since his health became poor he has made his home with ex-Policeman James Hudgens. He Hadn't Surrendered. A Good Story Connected with the Siege of Vicksburg. The General Withers, of Kentucky, who has been in the city for a day or two looking alter some horse* that a maa named Johnson attempted to get from him, tells the following good story ; Withers was in the Confede^ rate service, and was second in com¬ mand under Pemberton, at Vicksburg. On that memorable 3d of July, 1863, Pemberton called a council of war and stated to them that Grant was going to make a general assault along th* whole line the next day, and asked them what had better be done. Withers strongly objected that they to surrendering, representing could hold out until Ihe 10th. The re*t, of the council agreed with him, and it was decided not to surrender. Withers went off to command his divi¬ sion, and anticipating the attack had his men underarms, the gunners stand¬ ing at their guns, and everything ready for action. In the meantime, Pember¬ ton changed his mind and surrendered the city. The first Withers knew of it, Grant’s troops were behind him in the city, and a messenger arrived post haste to summon the commanding officer of that, division of the army before Grant So Withers rode down to the head¬ quarters and there found Grant in no very ;ood humor He inquired what. Withers meant by keeping his men un¬ der arms after the city had been v,ur rendered. Withers responded that this was the first intimation he had that the city had surrendered. “Haven’t you been directed by your superior officer to surrender your command ?” said Grant. “No,” said Withers, “I haven’t.” “Then, General,” said Grant “you did just right to keep your men under arms,” and with a quizzical look at Pemberton, who was standing near, be set. out refreshments, and they all took sugar in their’n with immense gusto.— Peoria Journal. Inexpedient Legislation. the “Admitting Philadelphia the undesirability,*' says AorfA element of. perm.nent or great Chinese in *ny part of the country, the anti Chinese immigration bill now in the Senate has features which demand its defeat. In the very outset the treaty we hav* with China was won by our persistent efforts, and not forced upon u*. It was properly sought and ne gotiated. with Its purpose is to create trade u country from which we long have bought,” and shall fora longer time buy heavily of silk, tea and other articles, and for which we have principally paid by which in specie, If w J repeal thither is a placed treaty our trade other on an equality with 1 that of every country, we do not reduce our purchases, but only dimin¬ ish the sum of our present and the opportunity for future shipments of merchandize, and thus strengthen the advantages of rivals by whom our pur¬ chases hereafter would be controlled. "England, France and Germany are now vising with each other and with ns for this very trade, and Russia is improving her » to it. The Pacific Railway aud Steamship Compame* have secured for us the transportation of much of the trade lately secured by •western Europe with China, and will retain it until China has a railway, un¬ less we see fit to throw it aside. Even then, were we to alienate China wholly from our trade, what would prevent our rivals fiom adding our share to their own ways, without profit to us?” The Stationary “Grab.” A Washington letter, very generally published a short time ago, containing an enumeration of various articles pur^ chased by members of Congress and charged on their “Stationery Account,” which looked more like Christmas or Birthday presents than stationery, has caused a universal stir, and Congress¬ men have been writing Noith and South, East and West, to their local paoers to have the statement corrected. IThe let'er said that the articles enu merated were paid for the out of the “Con¬ tingent Fund” of House. That was an error. The law allows each member of Congress $125 per annum for stationery. For the convenience of members a stationery room is kept in the Capitol where members can obtain what they need at cost. Each pur¬ chase is charged against the member’s $125, and at the end of the session he can draw the balance, if any, in cash. All this is strictly according to law, but as the allow race is made specifical¬ ly for stationery, it would seem that any excess beyond the cost of postage stamps aud actual stationery should remain to the credit of the govern¬ ment. This is not the practice. Every member draws the whole of his $125, either in “stationery’’ or money, so it rea’ly mat'ers nothing to the govern¬ ment what he chooses to call “station¬ ery.” The ground taken is that it is an allowance for a necessary expense, just like mileage. If the expens* is greater than the .allowance it comes out of their own pockets, and if it is less they are entitled to the difference. The arrangement is a bad one at best. —News and Courier. ^ The Philadelphia Record says ti e manufacturers of that city their are displays beg ; i ning to reap the fruits of at the Paris exposition. Large orders are coming in from various parts of the continent for machinery, hardware, wood-working mach'nery and canned goods. which Several orders for Amer'ca* stoves, w*re first seen on the continent at the exposition, have alao come to hand. A Philadelphia firm is now filling an order for a large num<* ber of sewing macb’nes for a firm in Greece, the first demand of the kind which has come from that part of Europe. Several orders have also come from Australia, one for 100 wagons and 200 “iron clad” milk cans having been received during the present v eek. The amount represented by the order ia $30,000. There are deserted towns in Nevada, hut they are not old ones. A few years ago the population of Hamilton ia said to have been nearly 8,000; of Treasure Hill, 6,000; of Shermsntown, 7,000; of Swanseg, 3,000 All were incorporated, with Mayor, Council, Fire Depart ments, and daily newspapers. Hamil¬ ton has now about 100 inhabitants, most of whom are merely waiting in dreary inaction for something to turn up. Treasure Hill has about half as many. Shermantown one family, and Swansea none. In one canon of the Toiyabe range, near Austin, are five dead towns without a single iahabitant. The streets and blocks gracing the hillsides are rapidly falling back into the wilderness. A cow-hide horse shoe has been in¬ vented which promises to prove very useful'. It is composed of three thick¬ nesses of cow hide, compressed into a steel mould and then subjected to a chemical preparation. It ia claimed for it that it lasts much longer and weighs only one-fourth as much ?s the common' iron shoes, that it never causes the hoof to split, nor doe* it have the least injurious influences on the foot. It requires no calks; even on asphalt the horse is said never to slip. horse’s The shoe is so elastic that the step is surer and lighter. It adheres so closely to the foot that neither dust or water can penetrate between the shoe and the hoof.
