An English Opinion of New England.
Michael G. Mulhall, a noted English
statistician, is contributing to The
North American Beview§a series of ar-
ticles upon “The Progress of the
United States” which will be read With
pleasure in this country.
In his first paper, published in the
May number of The Review, he con-
needs that as a manufacturing section
New England leads the world. He
shows that the manufacturing output
has increased five fold since '1860, and
that the total product of the manufac-
tures of New England is now valued at
$1,$99,000,000 or $319 per inhabitant, as
compared with a product in old Eng-
land of $135 per inhabitant, in France
of 874 per inhabitant, in Germany of
fiGS'and Belgium of $88.
As compared with population, the
manufactured products of New England
have increased three times as fast as the
people, while in England they have
only advanced from $111 to $115 per in-
habitant. In New England in 1850 the
output was $104 per inhabitant, and it
is now $319.
He also finds that wages “are much
higher than those in Europe, and as
the cost of food is less the New England
operative is in a much better position
than factory hands in Great Britain,
France or Germany.”
And when it comes to the surplus he
finds that savings bank deposits in
New England are $151 per inhabitant,
as campared with $27 in Prussia, $19 in
France and only $18 in Great Britain.
This great progress in manufactures
and in wages was made under the pro-
tective principles which the republican
party has maintained and is once more
about to inaugurate.
It is a strange thing that with a policy
so’savagelv assailed by the "democrats
as representing the height of folly, ‘we
have outstripped every nation and given
labor the best chance for life and en~
ioynient ever accorded it under the
sun, remarks—the Norwich Bulletin.

A Dog Case.
It makes little matter what the mar-
ket value of a dog is he does not rank
as an animalof value in the courts, and
as property does not seem to have any
standing. A Louisiana man brought
1 suit against a railroad for the killing
of a new foundland dog running upon
its track of the alleged value of $200,
and the suit was carried up to the su-
meme court of the United States. The
case has just been decided in Washing-
ton against the plaintiff. Justice Brown
in rendering his decision, said;
“The very fact that dogs are without
protection of the criminal laws shows
that property in dogs is of an imperfect .
or qualified nature, and that they stand,
as it were, between animals, fer-ac he
turns, in which until subdued there is
:no property, and domestic animals, in
which the right of property is complete:
They are not considered as being upon
the same . plane with horses, cattle,
sheep and other domesticated animals,
but rather in the category of cats,
monkeys, parrots, singing birds and
similar animals kept for pleasure, curi-
osity or caprice. Unlike other domes-
tic animals, they are metal neither as
' beasts of burden for draught nor for
iced." ’
Of course, fine bred dogs sell some-
' times for 85,000 and at all prices below
that sum, but the value of'the dog is
never recognmed in the law. Whether
he is a dog of high 01 low degree, costs
five thousand dollars of fiVa cents, the
tax per dog is the same. This any law-
yer explains, is because. the dog is
taxed as a nuisance instead of upon a
recognized value like other domestic
animals.
The only alternative under this ex~
{position of the law, an excharrz'e says,
its to get the lives of high priced dogs
Insrired.

Death of F. H. Trowbridge.
Frederick Hayes Trowbridge, secre-
tary and trustee for many years of the

of hostilities and Mr. ’l‘rowbridge, who
had acquired much knowledge from
trips taken with his father, was sent
South at different times with fleet
steamers to get the. cotton and bring it
out. His adventures were many and
excxting. He Was in nearly every case
able to get his cargo awav from the
blockaded ports and sawd his company
