I A letter to the Philadelphia Bulletin says: “TWO years ago, When I saw him last, there was no gathering of Ameri- cans in Paris in which Theodore Tilton was not a , conspicuous, honOred, per- fectly fascinating spirit. He is neither feeble nor bent, and, so far as physique goes and the essence called health, he is as young as he was when he was the cynosure Of the brightestin New York. Of his resources I have not heard him speak, but he lives comfortably, and, though he does no regular literary work,‘his pen is by no means idle.” When in Paris two summers ago, Mr. Tilton called upon the Editor of the GAZETTE, and was as bright and alert in body and brain, as when we twain were co-workers on Mr. Greeley’s Tribune. only in the whitening Of his still heavy, In appearance he had aged . flowing locks. Always resembling quite I closely the late Henry Ward Beecher, to our eyes, he had grown to a much closer and more striking likeness .Of and but for the unavoidable recollection of the great shadow that so sadly darkened both their lives, it would not have been dif- ficult to believe them brothers. Mr. Tilton told us that he was still employed—he could not be idle—upon With his modest and refined tastes and simple the g 1 eat pr eacher, congenial literary work. mode of living, his commanding powers of mind could not fail to secure him an ample support in the great French capi- tal. ‘ Gubernatorial Prognastications. The always ably written anduinter- esting Connecticut, news letter sent weekly to the New York Sunday Herald by Col. .Osborn Of the New Ha- ven Register, in Sunday’scompendium Of our state news and gossip, gives the following prognastications as to candi-V ' dates already prominently mentioned The Colonel “The first is that of Lieuten- ant Governor James E. Dewell, of New for our next Governor. writes: Haven. It has been the practice Of the republicans, during the past few years to consider the claims of the second Of- ficer Of State. Cooke occupied the place when he was nominated for Governor, and so did General Merwin, of New Haven. Coffin was promoted from the by far the ablest man in the Legislatuie, is Senators hip. Senator Lounsburx y, anothe1.Senat01 Bl own, Warner and Ma1igold have also neen spoken Of. In the House, Rep1csentat1ves F1 isbie, Roraback and Frost are mentioned.” The GAZETTE would modestly sug- gest that any list of candidates for the next Governorship of this state, that leaves out the name of Secretary to the President J. Addison Porter, is decid- edly incomplete and that Representa- tive Frisbie is much more likely to as- . pire to be a successor to Congressman Henry, than to Governor Cooke.

MORE VALUABLE THAN HOP-13 NOW IN THE NORTHWEST. A Great Demand for Them to Ha11151lp~- plies to the Gold Miners in the Yuknn Houses County in Alaska. Boarding Kept for their Spe‘éiai Purpose. Word comes from Tacoma Wash, that dogs have suddenly become mom . valuable than horses in that section of the Northwest. This state of affaiis results flom the great and growing de- mand for dogs to be used in hauling siedges in the Yukon country, Alaska. While thousands of horses fOl which their ownePs. cannot get $3 a head are roaming over the. plains of Eastern Washington and Oregon, ing,r from $15 to~ $30 each in the local market. is double what it is'here, from $1.00 to $150. To the Yukon mi“- ner the dog has become what the reindeer is to the Laplander and» the pony to the cowboys of Texas. and Mexico—a beast of service and amost 9 valuable one. The sledge dogs are too valuable not to be when well care of where that is possible. ‘ Their ownuers’ first thought in this respect is to obtain plenty of food for them. Their food consists principally of. fish, usually salmon, caught in the Yukon River by the natives. An ordinary dog will eat daily two pounds of dried salmon, which equals seven pounds of fresh fish. At Forty Mile last winter dried salmon sold at from 20 to 50 cents a pound. and bacon that was fit only for dogs to eat sold for 371/2 cents a pound. In some of the larger camps on the‘ 'Yukon dog boarding houses hii‘ve been established, where the an- imals are properly cared for at from $6 to $15 a month, according to the season and the price of dog food. ‘The native Yukon dog is much more valuable than the importation-s from Puget Sound. The dogs must be ac- climated in order to stand the sever- ities of winter. It is found that dogs .tuken from Montana and Dakota en- du1e the Yukon winters with less sufi'euing than those bred in the milder climate of Puget Sound. Two splendid specimens of native Alaska dogs were brought here a few days ago, their ,Owncr finding it cheaper to pay their passage on the steamer than to have , them boarded at Dyea during his trip here for supplies. The animals weigh. one 2 and the other 88 pounds. The large one cost its owner $117 at Circle Both animals are stout, well pr'opmtioned and muscled, and have exceptionally short and heavy necks. "heii ears ale shoxt and lifted like those of the Eskimo dog. Their coats arc}. dark, and the hair while not close, is smooth and heavy enough to form a comfortable piotection against the Auctic winters and the Yukon iuos- quitoes, by the side of which the fe- rocity of the New Jeisey variety pales into insignificance. A specially pre- pared dog food made out of meal and coause meat from the packing houses is now being manufactured in the form of a cracker and seems likely to come into general use. Buskskin moccasins are provided by many owners to keep the feet of the animals from being worn raw on the ice and snow. They are about nine inches long and made much after the pattern of a child’s stocking. Pack saddles me also coming into use this spiing. These are so arranged that dogs can cairy a weight of from 10 to 20 pounds besides drawing a sled. The saddlebags fall on either side, and straps are arranged to prevent the packmrom sliding forward or back- ward—New York Sun. Persons of Note. Jenny Linid’s daughter, Mrs. Ray- mond Maude, of London, has much of her mother’s brilliancy of voice, but has always refused to cultivate it for the stage. “I suppose there was too much music at home.” she explained to a. friend, Mrs. Maude has three children, none of whom is musical.
