If one desire to measuro the chunge which has taken place in English man- hood, and its decay from couragoe to cowardice,old volumes of parlinmentary history offer indisputible evidence of the melancholy fact, writes Ouida in the London Times. In regard merely 1o the view which Englishmen take of vexatious by-laws and of petty le terference, it is worth while to study “Hansard” of the present and the pasi. In one mattor alone, turn to the parlia- mentary rvecord of the first attempt made under Mr. Pitt's administration to put a half-crown tax upon dogs, in volume 82 of “Parliamentary History.” Such a suggestion, emanating from o & Mr. Dent and feebly supported by the ministry, was received with Homeric laughtor by the house. *“‘One might imagine,” cried Mr, Windham, *‘that Actaen had revived.” What would the galtant soul of Windham feel now at seeing n privy council treat the animals as if they were some noxious vormin,and ignore all rightsof property in them posseased by their owners? You have no more right to compel a man to muzzle his dog than you have to compel him to ride or drive his horse with a curb which he considers vexatious or in- jurious. You have no vight to make a man pay a tax for a properiy, and then force him to employ methods which ruin the object taxed. The muzzle ruins dogs. It renders them timidand appre- hensive, joyless and fierce; they have it, and the sensition of it on their faces is most injurious to their nerves and tem- pers. It is difficult to believe that the lords of the privy council can have con- sidered what they did; it loc ns if they had carelessly put their signatures to an order which they did not trouble themselves to read. Many among tnem must know, a8 every owner of dogs knows, that there are many dogs whom it is impossible to muz and none whose temper and coura are uot ru- ined’by it. To small dogs itis a barby ous cruelty, ps their tiny noses offer no resting place for the noxious appen while to large and small the 1nfliction of. the muzzle is, I ropeat, most injurious to beauty, to character and to sight; whoever has worn, volunta- nly, a loup at a masked 1 knows 1ts distressing effect on the vision, and can imagine what tortare it would be to wear one 1n metal or leather every day. The obligation to lead your dog is nuis anco enough, but it docs not injurc the dog as muzzling injures them. and to small dogs it is scarcely a havdship. But the muzzle 1s wore than a hardshi it is 0 geave injury, and when the stat puts its hand in the pocket of the dc owner for a tax, the state is bound to allow the person taxed the exercise of his own judgment in the proper keep- ing of his dogs. I have repeatedly said in your columns that, while those ac- cursed institutions, dog shows, and those haunts of filth and misery, dog fanciers’ cellars and yards, ave left uu- touehed by the law, it is ridiculous and odious to sc dies fined because their maltese or Yorkshire terrier runs loose in the square, and gentlemen menaced with prison because they vesist the brutalities of the police to their collie or their deerhound, I have considera- Dble knowledge and experionce of dogs, and I declare again that many dogs 1t is altogether impossible to muzzle that to all it ismost injurious, physically and morally. The dog merry, spirited, animated made by nature for play. sport, fun, and movement; the more he is throttled, menaced, worried, and tormented, the more his health and his disposition must suffer. [ hope, for the credit of the Engiish nation in general and the privy council in particular, that the vanny will soon be ended, aud the log- islation upon dogs be turned in the right direction, i. e., against thoze who breed and exhibit the dog as a means of livelihood. To allow constables to an- noy a lady because her silky-haired pet is running by her side, while you leave unmolested the fancier, who crowds to- gether his poor, chainedliving chattels in the filth of the New-cut or Seven Dials, and that other fancier of bigher rank who, to win bank notes and sily cups for himself, vackets his prize dogs about all over the kingdom. pent up in railway vans and in exhibition kennels, sacrificed to his cupidity and greed, is a part of that lop-sided and most injur- ious by-law making which is doing so much to destroy the naturally sturdy, independent and generous temper of the country, Owners of dogs are for the most part attached to them and keep them in health: venders of dogs have no feeling for them whatever and torture them recklessly to get a £5 note. Yet the one class is badgered, fined and impris- oned, while the other cluss is left at leisure and untouched. e The Game of Information. The newest game for winter evenings taices the form of an information party. suys Golden Days, und 15 begun by | ing to each boy a card, and to the girls smull piecos of paper, which should be vumbered from one up to the number of girlsn the game. The boys then write the number on their cards, and those who discover the same number on their card and paper are purtuners for the game. Euch couple must think of a question, sensible or ridiculous, historical or in regard to the weather, to be written on the cards. after which the cards are to be gathered together, and the leader readg each in turn, giving the pavtners a few moments to consider the subject and answer, which should be read aloul in turn, This is where the fun of the game be- gins, as many of the unswers aro ex- ceedingly queer, Those having a correct unswer mark their cards 10; a wrong answer 0; and if the answer is anywhere near right it is counted 5, When all are added pri may be distributed as in progressiv games for the best and poorest record. This is an amusing game because of the misinformation it elicits, A great many people will be surprised at th own ignorance in regard to such ques- tions as to the number of states and territories, the location of cities in Eu- rope, the names of well known rulers, and so forth, Of course it isnot fair to ask for exact dates in bistory, but outside of that there 18 plenty of chance to trip some- body who thinks he **knows it all.” e Young Railway Officials. The railway men of this country are asa rule young men, and the numbe of prominent officers who have attained their positions while in the thirties and even younger is surprising large says the {{nilwuy Age. One of our readers receutly put in the claim of baving been the youngest train dis patcher in the country,as he wasap- ointed to that responsible office bofore e became eighteen, but another cor- respondent last weelk surpassed this by reporting the case of hoy of fourteen who acted as chief dispatcher ouv a joint track operated by two of the argest railway companics in the coun- try. The first correspondent now yielas the palm in the respect nawed, but still claims emivence, saying that he com- menced to learn telegraphy at the age of seven years, and became genoeral passenger and ticket agent aL twenty- our. These cases certainly exhibit unusual precocity, but there ave doubt- a good rmany others who were not much behind them in taking ac- tive positions at railway work. Some time we may compile a list of the young railway officers of the country: menan- timo any further statements on the subject will be interesting. Quantrell's Guorillas.

Russia’s Great Novelist, Count Tolstoi, the famous Russian novelist, isa keen-eyed, serious-looking, enrnest-mannered man of commanding presence, with a bald, broad forehead and a patrinrchal white head, says Once a Week., He 1s rising two-ang and is one of the few who reall tice what they preach. He live top t of his former palace, the state ‘tments bheing occupied by poor peasant families, and he spends most of his time in agricultural labor, narrowing aud mowing or mending the huts of the peasant women who are widows. He receives his visitorsin apostolic fashion, acting as their ser. vant and attending to their wants him- f.nor does he stop repairing the boots of the neighboring beggar folk while discussing the sternor problems of life with avrchbishops and cabinet ministers.
