SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY
TALES AND SKETCHES.
A TBIH B0 fSTOIiV
ET PAt L WATtn.
The Newfoundland dog's nrtnic was Tip
poo. The bull-dog's wns Uoxcr. They
were miglibors of tnir.o In early life,
und I was personally acquainted with both
animals, though ou widely different grounds
of intimacy. Tiqioo was my liosoui friend, i
0)Ki j iove,i ,;, jjxcr was Tijipoo's most j
relentless inn I cruel enemy, lor w hich reason i
I hated him, uud would have sought his )
iilooil, but that being ol tender years, and i in
cautious temperament, tonsnous, moreover
of prc?cnlitig nn appetising display of bare
lesi, insisted on by the sumptunrv laws of
the period I thought it possible that he
mi'iit Inks a farcy to mine ; nnd so, as u ,
rule, kept discreetly uut of his way. For
lie was un ugly dog was lioxcr, and a
vicious ; a bandy-legged, bluck-niu.zled,
truculent, nervous-eared, tight skinned, tm-!
placable, ill-conditioned dog. very like my !
baiu iikul ol w hat tho Champion of England j
ought to be.
Tippoo was a very different kind of quad- j
ritped. I believe him to have been the most ;
iierieec gentleman tnat ever stood on
lour
IgSi jtist as I believe Roxcr to have been
the most consummate ruffian that ever was
lifted, by the agency of hemp-Cord, from
any number of thosa locomotive supports.
Tippoo was nearly as tall as myself. I could
just look over his glossy, silken-ringleted
back, when cuddling his noblu neck, lie
wore a full suit of black nnd white, particu
larly snowy at tlio bnsom. Ho wnst.s strong
as a lion, and ns gentle us a liun'i. Next to
playing with me, (which I am proud to be
lieve was his favorite pastime,') he delighted
in nothing so much ns thu exercise of carry
ing in his mouth a favorite cat attached to
the household of which ho whs a conspicu
ous member, to thu bottom of a steep lawn ;
then releasing, and running a raeo with her
to the lop. The cat was generally the win
ner, and always seemed to enjoy the triumph
immensely. To this day, I beiieve Tippoo
niado a point of running slowly on purpose
s; as gallantly to concede victory to the
weaker vessel.
"Tippo belonged to n country gentleman
(a sort of "half-squiie," as they would say

house. In my opinion, mid iu tiuit of the
majority of my playmates, Tippoo was the
most important and respectable inhabitant
of the village, up to the advent of Boxer
who came among us Unexpectedly, on a
vinit to Tippoo's master, iu tho train of a
sporting lawyer of detestable memory. As
soon r.s that subversive brute (Boxer not
the spoitiug lawyer) had made his appear

King Louis the Sixteenth must have felt on
the outbreak of the great French Revolution.

dreadfully, He neglected his food, kept his
kennel, and was uniiuiniousb pronounced a
coward of the most contemptible stamp.
His veiy crtuil flatterers (wo were no better

It has now become the fashion to talk
nbntit our "three veals' war" for the Union.
Of course this expression is used mainly for
convenience sake just as ono uses round
numbers and not with tiny reference to
precision. Some time or other, however,
historians will have to settle the mailer;
and it is not the least of the peculiarities of
this most, peculiar of wars that it is "an open
question," On what day did it commence !
All previous wars have begun with a begin
ningthat is to say, with a formal declara
tion, or with some proclamation tantamount
to it, us was the ease in England on thu
breaking out of the Crimean war. On that
occasion a notice was posted up Uy a gov
ernment herald at tho Mansion house (the
ollieial residence of the Lord Mayor), in the
eity of London, iu forming the public that
hostilities were about to commence with
Russia, and this was all the declaration that
was made. In our case such a thing was
not needed ; and, indeed could not have
been used without recognizing the rebels as
belligerents, i. c, as parties having a right
to wage war. Still theprent contest must
have had a beginning; und tho tiucstion is
w hen ttlfit beginning came into existence.
The popular feeling is that the firing on
Fort Sumter is tho epoch from w hich lo
reckon. This occurred on the 12th April,
lbtil, though many persons confound this
with the l'.Uh of the same mouth, which
was the day ot the massacre ot
the Mnssu-
eliiiset.ts men in the streets ot P.nltimore.
doubt if this epoch ought to be selected
as the starting point. There are four events
which may respectively claim to bo consid
ered tho eoiiinieiictuient of the civil war,
viz: 1. The net of secession passed by tho
I.cgislaliuo of South Carolina on the iiOtli
December 1800; 2, the firing on tho Slar of
toe West in Charleston harbor on the Oth
January 1801 ; a, the tiring on Fort Sumter,
and 4, the passing of the act of thu confede
rate Cougie.-s recognizing the existence of
war between the United States and the sece
ding Stuies. This act was first passed in
secret session, end was made public ou tin;
Otii nt May, 1801 ; it amounted to a foinuu
declaration of war on the part of the south.
Unquestionably this last is the InUat date to
be iHsigned, and it has beeu recognized by
thu Supremo Court, in an appeal case, as the
Ujnl coniUKncement of the war; that is to
sav, us thu dute which the. Court would in-
diciully ussumo fur that purpose. Wc have

There teems to us uo valid renson w hy
tho firing on the Slur of the Wist, us ulie
attempted lo curry provisions to the gnrri
sun ot Foit Sumter, ehould not be consider
ed as much an overt act of hostility us the
tiring on Tort Sumter itself. The object
was substantially il.u same in both cases,
viz., the getting possession of the fort ; und
thin would huvo been accomplished (und
very nearly was) by awrving Major Ander

And it was further intended to hold this

combined to make a deep and lasting im
pression on the national heart and to drive
out of sight ami memory thu less striking
but not less significant und hostile HlV.tir of
tho Oth Jauuary. So that c ar not sur
priserl to find everybody dating the war
fiout tho 12th April, 1901, two years, eight
months and some days back, which period,
in popular parlance and to savo trouble, is
now spoken of as "three years." Iu some
minds, too, the fact that-thu years ISU1,
1802 and 1803 have been years of war, oc
casions tho use of the same expression.
Hut we submit whether, after nil, the
true date is not the 20lh December, 1HG0,
the day on which the long devised schemes
ot southern traitors first received develop
ment. Was not the secession of South Car
olina as decided an act of hostility to the
Uniou as tho firing ou Fort Sumter I Who
does not remember the insolent declaration
which accompanied it, viz : that tho people
of that State wanted no compromise, or ne
gotiation, or reconciliation with the north,
for that their act of secession was intended
to be final and irrevocable ? it may be ar
gued that there can be uo war without the
use of weapons ; but this, we apprehend, is
not so. Surely there was war between Rus
sia and the allies when tho formal notice to
that effect went forth in February, 1854,
although no actual hostilities took place
uutil tne 12th of April following, when thu
Uritisli fleet opened the ball by blockading
the Uulf of Finland. We perceive that Mr.
Hazewell, in his admirable article in the last
number of The Atlantic Monthly, headed
"Tho Ueginning of the End," argues in favor
of the auth of December, 180U; and us re
gards the firing on the Star of the West, he
says, truly enough, "because our government
did not choose to accept it as the beginning
of those hostilities, which had been resolved
upon by the southern ultras, it does not fol
low that men are bound to shut their eyes
lo tho truth. Rut we all took tho insults
that were offered to the flag in President
Ruchnuan's time as coolly as if that was the
proper course of things, whilo the attack on
Sumter had tho same effect on us that the
acknowledgment of the Pretender as King
of Great Britninand Ireland, by Louis XIV,
h id on tho Eng-lish." At a I eve.its, wo
ihink that the l2thof April must bo given
up as the day of commencen e:it. It re
mains to bo settled whether the si cjssion
ol'SoitU Carolina, the firing on the Star of
the West, or the official southern declaration
of war, is to Le accepted iu lieu of it. P air.

From the St. Taut Press, December 17.
Our readers remember tho horrible mas
siicrc of a mining party ou the Missouri hist
August, not one being left to tell the mourn
ful tale. Who they were and how the mas
sacre occurred has remained wrapt in mys
tery until the present time, it was only
known that their mutilated bodies lay
bleaching on tho bunks of a distant river,
aud but for a chance party that followed in
their wake, the particulars of tho affair
would have still remained unknown.
John II. Carter, John S. Uriggs, R. Fcliou
ler and brother, ull of Wapello county, Iowa,
have just reached this city from Idaho.
They have been mining at Bannock City,
(there are two Bannock citic3 in Idaho), on
the Snake river, on the west side of the
Rocky Mountains, !550 miles north of Salt
Lake, und the same distance southeast of
W alla Wulla. Ou the 18th of June, one
week after the massacred party started, they
left for home, intending to come down the
.Missouri. They were delayed a month upon
j reaching too river, by the want ot a .Ylncki
naiv bout, after procuring which they pro
ci'udcd to Fort Hurt hold. Hero they first
learned of the massacre which took place on
iho Ud of August., one hundred miles below
tlie fort nt tho mouth of Heart river. They
found one of the men who originally started
w ith the unfortuuato murdered miners nt
tho fort, he having had a presentiment of
danger and remained behind. From him a
list ot tho names nf the unfortuuato men was
obtained as follows?
H. Field, wife and threa children, St.
Joseph, Missouri.
11. S. Uutler, Iowa City, Iowa.
Joseph sSinitti, Benjamin Van Winkle nnd
Forking, of Springfield, Illinois. Mr.

eighteen nieu, ono woman and three children.

mants obtained tho particulars of this horri
ble atl.ur.
Tho miners, anticipating trouble, were
well armed, and in addition to small arms
had a small cannon. At the mouth ot Heart
river a partv o iauktoniuns blouse came
along the bank and beckoned them to conic
to the shore. They responded by tiring the
cannon three times, the Indians returning
the tiro vigorously. Tho continuous lire of
the cannon caused the bout to sprint; a leak,
and but for that unfortunate rirctmihtaiioe
they might have escaped. Tlie Indians w ere
driven back from tlie shore, but renewed
iho attack, and during the second fight the
boat leaked mi badly that it sunk iuoliallow

An effort will be made the present session
of Congress to increase the rate of pensions
now paid to invalid nnd wounded soldiers
and their widows and children, in case of
death, The present rate is only $8 per
month for privates, for tho highest degrto
of disability, w here a man has lost an arm
or a leg. and unable to earn his living. This
rale included the full pay of a private soldier,
per month, when the law was passed, but
now privates receive Jt8 while the pension
remains the same, although the value of
money has depreciated 50 per cent, since
the law was passed. Tho same inequality
exists with regard to pensions of widows
of deceased officers.
Tho highest pension paid to a widow, of
even a Mitjor-Gcneral is ifHO per month,
while widows of officers of lower rank get
less. As many of our officers are not blessed
with an abundance of worldly goods, and
some, when dead leave very little property
behind them for the support of thei? widows
nnd families, it has been suggested that an
increase should bo made in the rate of pen
sions paid to privates who may be disabled
or wounded in service, and widows and
children of deceased officers and soldiers
corresponding w ith tho increased rates of
living.

mill in the country, and which kept us sup

Cnwa. A correspondent of Tho Field,

valuable work ou the Channel Island tho
following iuformatiou respecting Aldjrucy,

The cows ahould have "a Cno curved
taper horn, a blender noso, a tine skin, and
dcerliko form. Of the ilill'erent is
land breeds, iho Aldcrucy is the smallest
and most delicate, the Jouey somewhat
larger, Uut not very dilfcretit. Tho G uernsey
cattle are larger boned, taller aud stouter iu
ull respects, and have a les$ due coat. Tho
most esteemed colors seem to be red, red
and white, grey aud white, and cream-colored.
The eaulc should be yellow round thu
eyes and within the curs, and it is one of
the peculiarities of the besa animals, that
tlieiu in a yellow tinge at tho root of tho
tail.
There is a similar color in the butter niado
from their milk, and in their fat when killed.
The yield and richlie-s of the milk would,
(f course, be points in the competition. It
u staled that from luib. to 10 per week
of butter have been made from the milk of
one cow ; and the average aunuul prodXicu
