"We cannot doubt (hat a fine and exquisite frenzy prompted the author of "Queen M ib" to pen these lines. And yet we have never been able to realize the wonderful aspect of a dead dog. There is something ghastly and re pulsive about it. We know of nothing more ghastly or repuMve, unless It be the enrcass of a dead cat. Some men spurn It with their feet, while others will scarcely even deign to spit upon it. Such men, of course, are not entirely human; but their actions go far towards show ing the bad repute in which the body of a life less dog is held by the community at large. WHY DOGS ABE KILLED. No pertf, yiZJ?resaine, objects to a dog liv ing out his allotted flays PPn tbe earth, pro vided alwavs that he is not a vlitltVils doc. AQi even in such ca?e there is no absolute feeling of insecurity, if the animal's head be furnished with a cage of wire during the continuance pf the summer "befits. Yet thr; fear oi hydro phobia Is one which annually haunts the minds of neivous people, from the first day of May to the last day of August. The fact that does do sometimes go stark mad, and fly at man and beast in reckless, passionate fury, is sufficient justification ot this fear in the eyes ot the law. And, therefore, the tial has gone forth, among all civilized peoples, (that dogs who wander through the streets during this period without 'wearing a bit of wire over tbeir noses and under their chins, are the legitima'e snbiects of the King of Terrors. It is bad for the do(rs of that there can be ' no doubt at all ; but it is a bless ing to the community at large, of which dogs are not considered as forming a part. v THE MEN WHO CATCH THEM. ' To quiet the nerves of these nervous people. &nd to render everybody secure against the dread contingency of mudnoss, tbere is in the community a class of men who are known by the title of " dog catchers." Almost every one Jiasseen them. Theyre usually in this city, we believe, invariably of African descent. They are also addicted to the wearing of striped ihirts, and have other peculiarities of dress and person by which they can; be identified. The name of Captain Francis is the most illustrious that occurs to us in this connection. While he lived, the dogs ot the Quaker City had a sorry time t it in the summer season. His glance alone was certain death to aa unmuzzled car. If he chanced to look upon such a dog, that dog was as good as a dead dog, and not a whit better. Uut tor two years alter the Captain's denth, which took place some lour years since, the dog-tribe lad a respite. The wretch who has barely escaped the gallows is alone qualified to tellhowgreat was their enjoyment of the general looseness of the warfare which, during these two years, was waged against them. There was no system about it, and a lack of system is as iatal to the dog-catching business as to any other. Two years ago, however, the mantle of the lamented captain iell upon the shoulders of Mr. Allred Brogan, a gentlemanly young man of color, who is considered a master of his art. For the furtherance of his task the city furnishes him with a horse and wagon, and an annual appropriation of one thousand dollars. For very dog he captures, by fair means or toul, he receives the sura of fifty cents. The prooess goes on until the appropriation is exhausted, and then it stops. In New York there is a crop headed gentleman by the name ol Montgomery) who buji. up dogs at a discount, to any number that may be offered, and then patiently trusts the city lor bis pay. That system of fulfilling municipal contracts has never worked well with us. and the dog-catchers, with a tincture of wisdom for which we cannot give them too much credit, have probably never thought of giving it a trial. Whatever assistance Mr. Brogan deems neces ttary he must procure at his ows individual xpense. lie has three men in his employ at present. Two of these are ordinary mortals, who have somehow or other imbibed a hatred ot the canine race. The other is quite the Teveisf. He is known as 'Professor" Price, and has followed his sanguinary, dogmatic call. log lor full sixteen years. It would be impossi lle to conceive of a more accomplished artist in any trade or calling. He has a trick of catching dogs that rejoices the heart oi every nervous Dei eon. He haB a knack of knocking them over the head, when caught, that would put a ner yous person all in a tremor, could he but muster up cour age sufficient to witness the operation If the ''professor' had been endowed with i tithe of th "system" for which Captain Francis was noted, ho. would have been the head and front ol the dog catchmg lrateixtty at this day, TUB ANNUAL CROWDS. The annual crue.ade against the unmuzzled cars commenced thi jer on Monday, the 14th day of May. At hait-"t o'clock on the toinmg of that day, Chle Brogaa Lounted his ...m and started for th' wurn. cie wui rades, arrayed -in striped shirt, and with long ropes coiled upon their shoulders, followed on the sidewalk. They were not alone, for they never venture out upon such an expedition without the company of a high constable of the city and county ot Philadelphia, and four policemen selected from the district in which they are to operate. This strong array of blue coats Is always found necessary as a protection from the wrath of those who are despoiled of their eurs. The tenacity with which a dog will adhere to the fortunes of .his master, is equalled on!y by the energy with which a man will do battle for his dog. For this reason the presence of the police is frequently far Irom ornamontal. RULES FOR DISCOVERING THII HAUNTS OP DOOB. As "Professor" Price is such an old hand at the business, and the others have hud several years' experience, no lime was wasted in ar riving at a locality where specimens af the csnioe race abounded. In the heart uf the city the dog-catcher finds but little encouragement to bis vocation. It is in the by-ways and alleys, among the poverty-stricken and hunger bitten that dogs of all sizes, shapes, nnd colors most do congregate. If a hapless, childless couple are domiciled in a single room on the second floor of a crekhig tenement, they are usually the owners of one dog. If there are two children in the family, in additiou, there will usually be found an extra dog. If the domicile be on the third floor instead of the second, It is safe to calculate on the presence of one dog to each member of the family. Whenever the number of children is greater than two, and the capacity for an honest livelihood ttwrcby de creased, the number of canines will be found to increase in a direct ratio. These ruU are In fallible so the dos-catchers say; and we have good reaxOL, from a limited observation, for confirming their accuracy. The object in taking such an early start in the morning is obvious. More unmuzzled dogs are to be encountered between the hours of 5 and 7 A. M. than during the entire remainder of the day. It Is at this early hour, eppecially, that that nondescript yet well-known boast, called "nobody's dog," is sure to be abroad. He has picked up a night's lodging on some friendly door-step, or in some forsaken ash-barrel; and now with the first streak of dawn he sallies forth in quest of wherewithal to break his fast. Woe be uuto him if the dog-vnn happens that way at that particular hour. This dog-van resembles a corn-crib, cut in two and piaced lengthwise and sideways upon a jriiek. The only thing that can be said in its Bitot Is that it ailort 8 of a tree circulation of air for the benehl of its inmate, in all otaer re spects it has much the aspect of a prison-hoie. THE CAPTURE. If the dog be "nobody's dog," the process of his capture is a very easy one. To use a vulcar terra, he is simply "yanked" with a rope, aud thrust headlong into the case. Unless he is a very intelligent do?, before he fully realizes his situation he is crouched in a corner of the van and engaged in contemplating his captor from behind the bars. Then, if he be a sensible dog, he quietly awaits developments; otherwise he yelps, and snarle, aud excites the contempt of' his captors by lutile etforts at escape. It' the dog has a master, as mot dogs have, he is taken captive without any more ado, unless the master happens to be within hailing dis tance. In sncb cases the dog sets up a piteous howling, and straightway the master and his neighbors rush upon the scene. Then, if the affection between man and brute be anything more than a passing one, a rescue is resolved upon, after due consultation and a comparison of forces. It is here that the High Constable and his posse ot police come in play; and if the dogless master exhibits any great amount of pugnacity, he is forthwith taken into custody, conducted betore an alderman, and by him held over, in $300 bail, to answer the charge of inter fering with the dog-catchers. This is a specimen of the daily routine, wh'ch is repeated every day in the week except ing Saturday aud (Sunday. On these days alone is a dog without a muzzle safe in the streets. No regular route is prescribed. The van pur sues its way wherever its director imagines there are dogs to be found. A journey of filtecn miles is considered a good day's work. On Tuesday morning, when the last expedition for the present was inaugurated, the van was drugeed all the way from Smoky Holloa to the Richmond coal wharves, making numerous de viations to the right and left. DOO STATISTICS. In this connection, it may be interesting to glance at the statistics of the present season. They are from official sources. It should be noticed that during the week on which the national holiday occurred, the dogs were per. mltted to roam at will, without muzzles and without disturbance. This respite was probably to enable the dog-catcheis properly to celebrate the Fourth of July. For the week ending Captured. Redeemed. S:augbtered, May 19 84 iS May Viti 178 84.

This gives the following grand totals for the season: Captured 1578 Redeemed 841 Leaving tor slaughter 1192 Yesterday morning, at five minutes past 10 o'clock, the crusade against the canines ceased for the present, aud will not he resumed for two weeks or more. There are two reasons which make this course expedient. The one Is a scarcity of doRsjthe other a scarcity of funds. The supply of the former, in truth, has been well-nigh exhausted, while the appropriation made by Councils ha9 reached a very low ebb. Let the dogs rejoice thereat and multiply, and let nervous people keep their eyes about them as they journev through the streets. For their benefit, however, we will state that, notwith standing the excessive heat which we have at times endured, the catchers have not as yet encountered a single cur who manifested any symptoms of hydrophobia. If they bud done so, they would have despatched him upon the spot; for mad dotss are never knowingly ad mitted within the dog-van. 5 Hit DOO-POUND. Wheu the day's work at "ketching," to use the professional term, is ended, the horse's head is tamed towards the dog-pound. This institu tion is located ou the lower side of Euttonwood street, between Thirteenth and Broad, The en closure is very large, but the quarters allotted to the captured dogs are proportionately re stricted. On the Duttonwood side of the quadri lateral there is a frame structure, one story in height and of indefinite length. . It would sorely puzzle Ruskin himself to determine the style of architecture which prevails to the greatest ex tent. When we say that it much resembles a cross between s Western cabin and an Eastern pig-pen, we are not coming far short of the truth. We do not intend to Insinuate that the establishment is a disgrace to the good City of Brotherly Love. It Is probably large enough and neat enough for a slaughterhouse for dogs, and that is all that is required of It now DOGS ARK SNATCHED FROM THB JAWS OF DEATH. ! The law requires that a dog who Is taken into custody by the "ketchers," another profes sional terra shall be detained In the pound at least twenty-four hour9 from the time of his Incarceration. This L lor the purpose of allow ing his owner, if any he have, to discover his disappearance, and put in a claim for redemp tion at headquarters. The owner of a dog can have him discharged from the pound on prov ing his ownership to the satisfaction of the High Constable in charge, and paying down the fee of two dollars. As will he seen from the above table, one dog out of every four is con sidered by his owner as worth that sum, and the time ana trouble necessary to secure his releas". When the claimant of a missing dog arrives at the pound and makes known his errand, he is ushered into the presence of the assembled brutes. If he be blessed with what Is popularly termed a strong stomach, he will probably enjoy the scene otherwise not. A room that mea sures about fifteen feet each way is considered large enough to hold all the dogs that are likely to be on hand at any one time. This charnel house is low and dark; it has one window and one door; the proportions of the window are strictly in keeping with the surroundings. It is barred and cross-barred, to prevent all. possi bility of escape. The door is of much the same character; we might even say that it 1 a little more ao. The dog that can succeed in making his way through either must certainly be a very epert dog, or else a very lank one. When the disconsolate dog-fancier hns entered the pound proper, he finds himself within an enclosure about two feet and a half square. At his back is the grated door-way; at his left a blank wall; to the right, and in front, a series of bars and cross-bars, through which he obtains faint and unsatisfactory glimpses of the dogs. Still, if the animal ol which he is in quest be of large proportions, he can distinguish him with out much difficulty. If, on the contrary, he be of the poodle or terrier order, betore the owner can get his eye upon him it will probably be necessary for "Professor" Price to stir up the animals with a short pole. In the New York pound, each dog is honored with a rope and two square feet wherein to move about. But in our pound, ropes are entirely ignored at this stage of the proceeding?. The captives are huddled together in a most delightful confusion, which the presence of "Professor" Price and his short pole tends to render only worse confounded. For this reason we imagine that it will profit a man to consider tne matter carefully, before he determines upon rescuing his dog from limbo. Many curious sceneB are witnessed by one who pacses a day at the dog-pound, and watches the inotious and exclamations of those who come to redeem their household pets. The law is very strict in it. term, requiring tUat no dog snail be delivered up, even ou payment of the regular fee, except on positive proof of ownership. Many persons who think a dog would be a nice thine to have about the house frequent the dog- pound, for the purpose of procuring a good specimen at the comparatively low price of tvo dollars. If they are not very circumspect in the answers they give, their object is easily detected. and they are forced to withdraw discomfited and chop iallen. Now and then there isno trouble about proving ownership, but a difficulty arises concerning the payment of the fee. Not every one that owns a Jog can afford to pay two dollars to save the animal irom an ignominious death. For the most part these cases are frowned upon by the authorities-, but at times they are forced to listen to such pathetic tales that their innate weak neps is touched, and the rule relaxed. AN AFFECTING DOO STORY. The other day, for example, an elderly lady made her appearance at the pound. She was in deep distress, and as the High Constable lis tened to her story, he became affected in alike manner, bbe was a widow, wnose only son bad pone to the war. In the heat of battle the latter had captnred from the enemy a black and-tan tenier, which had followed him there arter as closely as his shadow. The adventures of tnat dog were won lerful to relate; his hair breadth escapes from death at Rebel bands would till a volume; his devotion to his loyal master was unequalled by anything in the pre vious history of dogs. On the suppression oi the Rebellion, the soldier son had returned to his widowed mother. The captured terrier had borne him compauy. The son had subsequently died from the effects of disease contracted while in the service, aid the bereaved widow had nothing left but tne dog. And on that very morning the ruthless "ketchers" had deprived her ot even that consolation. The dog was there betore her eyes. He gave ber a wag of his tail, by way of recognition, and then sat down and lifted up his voice in melancholy strains. It was, indeed, a sad case, tor the widow had not the wherewithal to redeem the valued canine. A her story bore the marks of truthfulness upon its face, she was sent away rejoicing, the terrier following meeliiy in her tram. ANOTHER DOO STORY. She had scarcely left the precmcts of tne pound, ere a little girl of Hibernian parentage appeared upon the scene in tears of course, Her face was pinched by hunger and beerrimad with dirt; her garments were "more holy thin righteous," as the saying is. But despite ber penury, sh had hitherto rejoiced In the owner- sum ot a clever-sized ana wen-conditioned bull dog, which had been the only consolation ot her torrowful little life. At the mention of two dollar as the price of his release, her avi.f J I. Tki. . u J p-i whuuiuui auio yv aa .uuturr bku cue?, but humanity prevailed over tne strict letter of the law; the bull-dog was discharged. There upon the ragged little urchin fell upon him and nearly smothered him with hugs and kisses. meanwhile uttering her thanks in stifled, sobs and broken sentences. BOW DOOB WIRI ULLID IN OLD TIMES. finch of the cantured does aa ar not con sidered by their owners worth the trouble and expense of redemption, are deprived of their worthless lives. Everybody is aware of this fact, but few people have the courage to witness the operation. In olden times, dogs who were doomed to death by the authorities were usually smothered by an overdose of the fumes of sulphur. That was a heathenish practice; it partook strongly of the Idea of a personal Devil, horned and hoofed, and bearing in his bosom a blazing furnace, the flame of which consumed ttiosu who fell Into his power. Tne enlightened Nine teenth Century has frowned it down. It was a'so a custom with our forefathers to tie a stone to the neck of a vicious dog, and then to t not him, alive and kicking, into a running stream. We believe that this custom still pre vails, to a certain extent, in the rural districts of New Jersey. But when it conies to slaughtering a thousand dogs In this fashion, and that within two months time, the items of wasted stone and rope run up to a high figure. This mode of exe cution also savor strongly of tne puuwhment inflicted upon witches in the early colonial days of Massachusetts. It was barbarous from be ginning to end; the Nineteenth Century has pro nounced it so, and wisely frowned it down. HOW DOOB ARB TORTURED TO DEATH IN NEW YORK. How, then, is a don to meet his doom ? . The Metropol.tan executioners ot our neighboring city iiiineine that they have bit upon the mo t appioprtatc and least cruel procefs. The does ate lilted severally by the nape of the neck, and hurhd, footforemost, into a large, dry tank. Dog upon dog is piled up, until the receptacle is nearly filled. That dogs should submit to such treatment without raising an unearthly din is inconceivable. Their cries and groans are pitm ble to listen to, and would move a heart of stone to compasn6n. A heart ol stone, however, is something that is seldom heard ol in the com mercial metropolis of the nation. So the process goes on, until the tank becomes one van, dense mass of writhing;, shrieking flesh. When the tank is full, a tightly fitting lid is closed over all. Then the water is turned on. Its gurgling rush is joined to the yelping of the bounds. It some wretched cur, averse to such a la'.e, clambers above his lcllo.vs and hugs the bars of his cage in the agony of death, he Is pushed down with a loiig pole, and unites his piteous voice to the dying wail below. The water rbes ; the yelps grow more trequent and more furious ; ue tank occotnes one cease less turmoil of strife and woe. But such things cannot last forever, and by-and-by the cries grow fainter, until at last they are hushed in the silence of universal death. This is all very rebned, and ot a surety reflects great credit upon the man in whose fertile bruin it was conceived. HOW "rROPE8SOR" PRICK TERMINATES A DOu'S CAREER. But the dos pxecutionow of our own cit? have not yet carried cruelty to such a hiih pitch of refinement. The process which is still in favor with them is somewhat old-fashioned, yet not absolutely barbarous. Tsvice a week on Wed nesdays and Saturdays the innocent curs are slaughtered. Ao there were to be no further executions ior some time to come, we were pre sent yesterday to witness the operation. It was very simple, but expeditious wiinal, as sixiy four ol ihe untortunate creatures were hurried out of existence in less than a quarter of an hour. At ten minutes of 10, precisely the publio appears to have a morbid curio.-ity tor extreme minuteness of detail in everything partaking of tne cuaracier oi an execution ten minutes ol 10 "Professor" Piice entered the dog-pen, fol lowed by his grim assistants. Each was armed wuu a snort, stout club, ana ; a coil ot ope. We have already Riven . the dimen sions ot tne case it is a very little lamer than the tank which has won such favor in N jw York. The entry ol the executioners was the signal tor a grand commotion. The six'.y-iive captive dogs seemed to realize instinctively that sometniug icrnoie was auout 10 ue'.ail tuem. let they behaved themselves very prudenrly and very quietly under the crcunstancec. With low and plaintive whines they huddled toeether in the remotest corner, as it for mutual protec tion, presenting to the eye qj the spectator sim ply an indistinct mass ot quivering hair. Th-y were certainly packed, very closely together, but with this advantage for comfort there was only one thickness in depth. THE FIRST VICTIM. A huce black animal of the. bull-ikm species was selected for the tin.t victim. He was seized by the Irout lefts from behind, by one of the assistants, who held him erec'', while the Professor" adiusied a noose about his usrlv throat. The end of the roue was quickly tliro vn over a ratter and drawn tight, until the animal swung clear between earth aud heaven. Then the assistant grasped him by one ot his hind most extremities for the purpose of steadying the body, and tne "Profe."sor" seized his club. Att?r a preliminary flourish, he laid the weapon heavily upon the back ot the animal's head, three times only, and in less than half a minute the lile was completely knocked out of his car cass. There was not a groan, not a kick, not a drop ol blood. This last ieture was a pecu liar one, and every now and then some one ot the executioners would taise the cry of "No blood! no blood!" The thiuit was neaily done, and shall we rot fay so? humanely. Only the big dogs were treated in this scien tific manner, the invidious distinction between big and little dogs, so olten exemplified upon the street, following them even to the end of their wretched career. Cut alihoueh the ma jority of the lusty fellows died tasy. now and then a tough customer would be swung into mid-air, making a show of hght and an effort at a howl. IGNOMINIOUS DEATH OF THE SMALL GAME. Meanwhile the little curs were dying (n an ignominious fashion by the score. 'While two ol the executioners devoted themselves to bull dogs, mastitis, and other large game, the otner two were laying about them with their clubs, striking right and lett, and extinguishing a life with every well-directed blow. Sore -eyed poodles and nimble-legged terriers were one moment frisking about in the most fantastic way, and the next they quietly fell over dead, without knowing what was the matter with tbem. A CURIOUS SPECIMEN OF A "DORO." One of these last, a cock-eyed, crop-eared, ham strung beast, created considerable merriment by his efforts to avoid the club, which waa sent whirling alter his cranium hall a dozen times in succession. He was a horrid looking wretch. One of the bystanders pathetically ramarked tnat "he bad never seen sich a head on a dore in all his life!" The remainder ot the "dor g" vas on a par with his head. He was, in truth, "a curious specimen Of nature's handiwork A 'dorg' that neither walked nor ran, Hut went it with a jerk." But he was a doomed dog for all that, and at last he gave his final "jerk," and tumbled over, stiff and stark. He was probably "nobody's dog." AN UFBOAR A KB A FAN 10. As last as the curs were slaughtered, they vere picked up by the tails and thrown care lessly Into one corner. There were a halt dozen or so of live dogs at the bottom ot the heap, and these made a rush for mure comfortable quar ters, barking and yelping as they went. As they were all small dogs, the clubs of the exe cutioners were hurled at their heads. Some dropped down without a groad, others made the circuit of the enclosure at the highest known rate of dog-speed, while one or two of the less sensible class concluded that now or never was the time lor an escapade. Oue woolly water dog made a lunee at the grated window. As he failed to force an exit, he lell down, alighting upon his back. In this posture bis skull en countered the club ot "Proteasor" Price. The woolly dog remained upon his back. (Not at all discouraged by this finale, another small specimen thought he would squeeze his ana'oiuy through an opening in the door. He etfected a lodgment with his fore paws, and succeeded lu thrusting his nose Into the hole, but nothing more. When he discovered what a slim chance ot escape he had, his couutenance fell, and his eyes rolled upward beseechingly. We doubt If a more sorrowful lace was ever seen upon a dog. He uttered a taint cry, just as the "Professor's" club was laid upon his head, and then the lifeless carcass dropped upon the ground. FIFTH MINUTKS' WORK. The operation of killing the sixty-five dogs lasted just fl:tren minutes. AtUie end of that time there was not left a solitary enr who had not been damaged to a greater or less extent. Most of them were stoup dead. All of them were heaped into the corner. Now and then there was a faint gasp; but at every indication e vitality the club of an executioner sought out the hapless victim, and with one more blow hi 4 misery was ended. The scene presented by the dog pen at this tare might, oeraaps, be termed anlnterestingone. Yet we did not so consider it. The ahatly sleht of protruding eye balls, quivering lets, and squirming tails was almost too mnch for our eninl bnum. We gathered up Our notes end left the soot disgusted. WHAT 18 DONB WITH THE DBAD DOGS. In the economy of nature, It Is said that no thug has been created in vain. On inquiry into the fate of the e lileless canines, we were convinced ot the truth of this maxim. After the bloody work is ended, the carca-s s are thrown Into a wacon, and trans-ported to that locall'v ot the city denominated "the Neck." Here eveiy morsel Is made lo answer ome unelul pur pose. The hides are 'mined, aud atorards termed "goat-skin-." The hair is curled up by machinery, and disposed of In a Droutable way. Irom the fat a superior q inlity of lubricating oil is distilled. The larger bons are giveu ovr ti tne buttou-makrs, the smaller ones to manu facturers ol fRLcy fertilizers. Not a toe-nail nor a footh is suffered to run to waste. The life of a dog is frequently a melancholy one; but of a verity, all such as fall into the hands of the "ketchers" meet a doom that de serves and receives our hearty commiseration May their souls if souls they have rest in peace I gTEAN ENGINE PACKIS O LIBBICATIYE PACKIX0, FOR THE STUFFING BOXES OJ STEAM ENGINES.
