WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...OCT. 25, 1854 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. THE TARiff AND THE LAWYERS We read in a San Francisco paper that in one of the courts of that city last week aboy Daniel Fred Beck was charged with stealing some money from the rooms of a ranchman. The boy acknowledged the theft and pleaded guilty to the charge. Subsequently, however, two young lawyers were assigned by the presiding judge to defend the boy. They informed him to withdraw his plea and plead not guilty, and then they managed his case with such ability that the jury before whom the case was tried brought in a verdict of not guilty. This may seem a strange prefix to the few remarks we propose to make upon the tariff question, but it serves to illustrate one point we desire to bring out. The Democratic party is on trial in this campaign; the charge against it is that it is a free trade party, and that a Democratic victory next month means the ascendancy of the free trade element. The charge is a most damaging one, the most influential wing of the party she guilty to the charge and the other wing, though not in sympathy with the free traders, desire victory at any price and have put forward lawyers and orators to defend the party against the damning charge of being opposed to the protection of American labor and American industries. One of these lawyers assigned to the defense is Col. Godfrey, and he spoke in Anaheim on last Saturday night upon the question. This able advocate contended, we are informed, that the platform of the party was not a free trade platform; that, in fact, the Republican party was the party of free trade. We have too high an opinion of Col. Godfrey's abilities as a lawyer to believe that he believes anything of the kind; nor do we find fault with him for advancing in an argument for a cause or a client proposition which he knows are unsound. If a murderer was arrested, with the blood of his victim dripping from the hand which still clenched the total knife, Col. Godfrey would, when called upon to defend him, enter a plea of not guilty, and exert all his ingenuity to BUGS IN HIS HEAD. A queer case is reported from Campe, San Diego county. Chas. G. Hill, an aged man, some little time since indulged in a midday siesta, during which it is supposed an individual of the well-known screw fly family crawled up the nose of Mr. Hill and deposited its preygy which, in accordance with natural laws, increased and multiplied much to the inconvenience of Hill until the pain became so unbearable that he was forced to employ the skill of a surgeon to alleviate what was thought to be neuralgia. An operation was found necessary, which discovered a large nest of worms in the old man's head; 226 were extracted from the head, throat and windpipe; measuring up to three-fourths of an inch in length. This is the story reported in the San Diego Union, and sounds rather buggy; but it may afford an explanation of the idiosyncrasies of certain individuals prominent in Democratic politics; for instance, Chairman Barnum as evidenced by his late effusion congratulating the Democracy upon the result in Ohio. MR. VANDERBILT has given half a million dollars to the College of Physicians and Surgeons with which to erect a building in New York, and the deceased Miss Welton has left $200,000 of her fortune to the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Each of these bequests is a mignon of money and misapplied wealth. The country is covered with medical colleges and "Sawbones" are ground out by the thousand every year. There are other channels of usefulness to which this money could have been diverted with more benefit to humanity. Nor have we any sympathy with that sentimentalism which bemoans the woes of animals and shuts its ears to the cry of human distress. A BILL has been introduced in the Vermont Legislature by the opponents of capital punishment by hanging, providing for the execution of murderers by electricity. When it passes, the Vermont malefactor will be worked off in a quiet and gentlemanly manner. ICHABOD! The glory of the Comstock is departing. The Consolidated Virginia Mill has been dismantled and shipped to Arizona. The drills and apparatus of other mills are also being prepared for shipment to the sun-kissed land. CURRENT CHARTTER. Theme Discourses in a Geography About Matters and Things Much as I would like to punctuate stigmata sensation (of which I have spoken to so often during the week) almost wish St. Peter had taken the worm in "for keeps") I confess that I can flinch in the story into which I can thrush them. There is one thing I do predict that is that from several quarters of country during the next few weeks will other stories of stigmata, each more wonderful than the preceding one. Whenever there is a peculiarly atrocious murder, or an elopement (can there be an "atrocious elopement?" they are sertain to be followed by a long series of elopements, suicide murders, and I remember that the first mata sensation of some years ago was lowed by a number of others. In the history of Anaheim there has been I am told, murders and suicides, but no elopement. This is probably due to the fact that the coachman-elopement has been is of recent origin, and that it is not tomary among our first families to hire co-men. A dude coachman is not only a gerous appanage where there are susceptible girls, but he is an expensive luxury, while few people, except publishers of court newspapers, can afford to keep. Hence there is little merit in a virtue which never been tempted; I do not think that girls of Anaheim deserve any great prize for their non-participation in the ruling position of the hour. Writing in this strain puts me in mind: a little circumstance illustrative of a mother's love and anxiety. The little girl bewas about three weeks old and the mothe was found sobbing over it as if her he would break. To anxious inquiries as to cause of her grief, she said that she had been thinking of the time when her baby having imbibed the rudiments of education must go to a college far away from home finish her education! If that was not "brooding trouble," I would like to be put up on the track of a better illustration. I have just been reading in a newspaper that the death of a "snake-charmer," one of those circus attaches who handle the alimy reptile with apparent impunity. They general that the platform of the party was not a free trade platform; that, in fact, the Republican party was the party of free trade. We have too high an opinion of Col. Godfrey's abilities as a lawyer to believe that he believes anything of the kind; nor do we find fault with him for advancing in an argument for a cause or a client proposition which he knows are unsound. If a murderer was arrested, with the blood of his victim dripping from the hand which still clenched the fatal knife, Col. Godfrey would, when called upon to defend him, enter a plea of not guilty, and exert all his ingenuity to clear him just as the lawyers did in the case of young Beck. He has, on behalf of the Democratic party, withdrawn the plea of guilt entered by Speaker Carlisle, Congressman Hurd, Morrison, Hewitt and a host of other eminent men, and substituted a plea of not guilty. Able as he is, however, he cannot get the people to bring in a verdict in favor of his client; the proofs of guilt are too clear. We are further informed that, referring specifically to the charge that the Morrison bill introduced the tariff on wines, he quoted a challenge to debate issued by Barelay Henley. Democratic candidate for Congress in the First District, to M. M. Eatee, who has affirmed that the bill removed all the tariff on wine and brandy, notwithstanding those luxuries were not mentioned in the bill. We refer at some other time to Mr. Eatee's argument in support of his views, and content ourselves for the present by quoting Henley's challenge and Eatee's answer. It would not have served Col. Godfrey's purpose to have read the correspondence in full, because if ever a demagogue was sat heavily down upon, Henley is the man. Here is the correspondence: SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13, 1884. Henry C. Geofford, Secretary Democratic County Committee, Napa County, California: DEAR SIR.—Your letter containing the following proposition from the Hon. Barclay Henley was handed to me at the moment of my getting on the cars for this city Sunday evening. The proposition is as follows: "We, the undersigned, hereby agree to submit to any three of the Justices of the Supreme Court of this State, or any three of the Superior Judges of the city of San Francisco, the following question: "Does the tariff bill introduce into the late Congress (lower House), known as the Morrison bill, reduce or alter the tariff on wines and liqueurs? If the decision be affirmative, I, Barclay Henley, hereby agree to donate to the support of the institution known as the Veteran's Home, in Napa county, the sum of $500. If the decision be in the negative, I, M. M. Eatee, agree similarly to donate the same sum to said institution. "These promises we make upon our honor. BARCLAY HENLEY." October 10, 1884. Permit me to say, with great respect, that this proposition is pure buncombe, evidently intended for political uses and not for the purpose of obtaining a judicial decision upon any question of law or fact. The courts have always held they would not doubt questions not arising in a bona fide case brought into court under the forms of law. The courts do not answer legal comments. What the court will not consider as court, the judges will not consider as judges. Mr. Henley must have known this when he sent this challenge. However, Mr. Henley desires to discuss the tariff question with me, so that he may influence the voters of his district in his behalf. I beg to remind him that however much I approve his own ability and worth. A bill has been introduced in the Vermont Legislature by the opponents of capital punishment by hanging, providing for the execution of murderers by electricity. When it passes, the Vermont malefactor will be worked off in a quiet and gentlemanly manner. ICHABOD! The glory of the Comstock is departing. The Consolidated Virginia Mill has been dismantled and shipped to Arizona. The drills and apparatus of other mills are also being prepared for shipment to the sun-kissed land. The One Great Issue. Ed. GAZETTE.—It is claimed by the defenders of the free trade party that the raisin industry and the wine industry would not have been effected had the Morrison horizontal reduction bill become a law. Admit for the sake of argument that this is a fact, did not that bill enunciate the principles of free trade, and would the party stop with the enactment of that half-way measure? Morrison and his followers in Congress openly declared that the bill was merely an initiatory measure, to be followed up by sweeping reductions of the tariff all along the line. And raisin-makers at least can have no doubt as to the intentions of the Democratic party regarding their industry, for a bill was introduced in Congress shortly before it adjourned, reducing the tariff on a number of articles among which raisins were specifically mentioned. This bill is on file now and will be acted upon by the next Congress. I remember reading it in the Gazette shortly after it was introduced. As a raisin-producer I propose to vote for the party that is in favor of protection, without qualification or reservation. There are no "ifs" and "ands" in the Republican attitude on this question. They talk and act protection everywhere, and do not resort to the deceitful subterfuge of preaching one policy in one locality and a different policy in another locality. Where the people believe in free trade, the Democratic National Committee circulate the speeches of Morrison and Hardy, and send such speakers as Waterson and Carlisle; in sections where protection is believed in they circulate the speeches of Randall and send speakers of protection proclaimings. The party is all things to all men, and therefore it cannot be trusted. PROTECTIONIST. A Human Butcher CAIKO, Oct. 22.—A passenger just in reports a frightful affair which occurred on the Paducah and Memphis train on Sunday night. Herman Marshall of Dyersburg, Tenn., was on the train drunk, and went up and down the aisles with a knife in hand, threatening everybody and indulging in the most frightful obscenity. Finally he insulted a man named Boone Hudspeth of Maysville, Ky., who struck Marshall. The latter then cut and slashed Hudspeth's head, face and shoulders in a sickening manner. Hudspeth finally turned and ran out upon the platform, where Marshall followed and plumed his knife into his victim's head about three weeks old and the motto was found sobbing over it as if her heart would break. To anxious inquiries as to cause of her grief, she said that she had been thinking of the time when her brain having imbibed the rudiments of education must go to a college far away from home finish her education! If that was not "the rowing trouble," I would like to be put up on the track of a better illustration. I have just been reading in a newspaper: The death of a "snake-charmer," one of those circus attaches who handle the alimy reptile with apparent impunity. They generally carry the pitcher to the well once too often; i.e., they usually get bitten with fatal result after long years of immunity. This was true case with the performer about whom I had just read. About fifteen or twenty years ago, a paisano who lived a few miles from Anaheim was singularly gifted in his power over venomous reptiles. He always had rattlesnake or two about his person, frequently having one in his coat pocket and another between his skin and his shirt. They were the genuine semi-tropic article, fangand all. He would fondle them and talk to them as if to a pet-dog, and they would appear parently listen to him intensely and evince their pleasure in a snakish way. He is dead now, but it rather disturbs the sequence of things to know that his fondness for poisonous reptiles had nothing whatever to do with his taking off. There is even now a gentleman living near Anaheim who shows a liking for reptiles and who is fearless in his handling of them. I think, however, he draws line at rattle snakes; I never knew of his codling any other that species. But to demonstrate his belief in the innocuousness of centipedes and scorpions he has handled both, without their leaving visible sign. There is only one way of contradicting his theory that these insects are not poisonous, and that is by demonstrating that they are. Will some gentleman who holds an opinion adverse to his theory please show him that he is mistaken? I was listening to a couple of Argonauts today about the days of '49, and made mental note of one very curious incident, which had the rare merit of being true. A party of miners, of whom the narrator was one, had been snowed in for so long a time that in addition to the stock of provisions running low their clothes were nearly worn out, and they were absolutely bootless. They were young, hardy and vigorous, however, and enjoyed the most perfect health. The day came when a pack train managed to get over the trail with a stock of the necessaries of life, and about the first thing they did was to each put on a pair of new boots. Next day every one of these men, who had passed months among the snow, scantily clothed, without the least suffering, were so hoarse and had such colds that all the camp needed was a professor and a black board to be a deaf and dumb asylum. Ingersoll lectured in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago in infidelity, and had a crowded house; though he charged a dollar admission and put the proceeds in his pocket October 10, 1884. Parent me to say, with great respect, that this proposition is pure buncombe, evidently intended for political uses and not for the purpose of obtaining a judicial decision upon any question of law or fact. The courts have always held they would not dyde questions not arising in a bona fide case brought into court under the forms of law. The courts do not answer legal concerns. What the court will not consider andourt, the judges will not consider as judges. Mr. Henley must have known this when he sent this challenge. However, Mr. Henley desires to discuss the tariff question with me, so that he may influence the voters of his district in his behalf. I beg to remind him that however much I appreciate his very great ability, and however much I doubt my own, yet I will be pleased to meet him at Napa or St. Helena on the 25th of this month, or on any other night or day when not actually engaged elsewhere prior to the 25th, and discuss the tariff question before his peers and mine. Mr. Henley is reported as saying everywhere in his speeches that he challenges me to meet him. If that be so, and he means it, he is sufficiently chivalrous to permit me to select the time and place for this discussion. I do most carefully disclaim any desire to measure ability with Mr. Henley, or any one else, and I only make this proposition to give the distinguished gentleman an opportunity which he so much wishes to prove the Republicans are wrong on the tariff question. Mr. Henley's offer to donate $500 to the Veterans' Home, coupled with the qualification attached to it, is meaningless, for he knows there are no three judges in this State who would lend themselves to such extrajudicial purposes, and no decision could thus be had and no money paid to the Veterans' Home. But if Mr. Henley does now love the veterans of the war, to which he was so much opposed, and really wishes to give something towards their support, I propose, if he will come to Napa or St. Helena (where he issued his challenge to me) and discuss the tariff question with me, at the time herein stated, or at any time, day or night, before then, the meeting to be held under the joint direction of the Democratic and Republican county committees of Napa county, and to be fairly conducted. I will give to the Veterans' Home $250, he to give a like sum, both amounts to be paid before the meeting begins, the Veterans' Home thus receiving $300; the amount indicated by Mr. Henley. There is no objection to the gentleman giving a larger sum if he so wishes. Yours respectfully, M. M. Erwin. Mr. Henley has not accepted Estee's fair proposition, nor is it likely he will be heard from again in connection with this matter. In the same hall, and before some of the same people, at a time not long passed, Col. Godfrey savagely arranged the very party which he is now defending. May not this circumstance detract somewhat from the influence which his arguments would otherwise have? CAIKO, Oct. 22.—A passenger just in reports a frightful affair which occurred on the Paducah and Memphis train on Sunday night. Herman Marshall of Dyersburg, Tenn., was on the train drunk, and went up and down the aisles with a knife in hand, threatening everybody and indulging in the most frightful obscenity. Finally he insulted a man named Boone Hudspeth of Maysville, Ky., who struck Marshall. The latter then cut and slashed Hudspeth's head, face and shoulders in a sickening manner. Hudspeth finally turned and ran out upon the platform, where Marshall followed and plunged his knife into his victim's bowels, and throw the bleeding man from the train, as is passed over a bridge, the unfortunate man falling a height of fifteen feet. The train backed up and Hudspeth was taken up barely alive. Marshall continued his promenade through the cara, daring any one to touch him, and no one did dare to do so. Marshall has not been arrested. A Peculiar Youth NASHVILLE, Oct. 20.—There is a boy in Putnam county, a son of Jefferson Lee, 10 years of age, who, owing to the peculiar nature of his skin, has never been known to sweat a drop of perspiration in his life. Another phenomenal feature connected with the boy is that he has only four teeth and he had these before he was born, having neither cut nor nailed any since his birth. He is very much affected by the seasons. In the summer he gets exceedingly warm and is compelled, in order to live at all, to keep his head and body wet with cold water, and falls off almost a skeleton, but when winter comes and cold weather sets in he is enabled to dispense with his bath and grows fat. He is said to be a sprightly boy, with plenty of sense. Cleveland Assaulted. ALBANY, Oct. 21.—Cleveland was assaulted in front of the medical College this morning by Samuel Beene, of Cheming county, who was ejected from the Executive chamber last week for creating a disturbance while smoking a pardon. Beene struck at the Governor with his right hand. The blow was warded off and the man repeated the blow several times without hitting the Governor's face. He dashed toward a pile of cobblestones, but was intercepted by Dr. Heighton before he obtained the middle bone returned to attack the Governor again when Heighton snared and held him, and the Governor deliberately resumed his walk. Beene was arrested. When a man becomes a candidate for office and begins his pilgrimage among his constituents, he must leave his self-respect behind him if he desires the smallest measure of success. The vote of the drunken scrub nullifies the vote of the most upright citizen; and while there is nothing humiliating in presenting one's claims to office to the decent and respectable voter in a decent and respectable way, it is gall and bitterness to solicit the support of the low, corrupt and vicious in the only way in which their support can be got. The fact that the candidate must stoop to this class is one of the chief reasons why there is a growing dissolution among competent men to seek for public office. A canvas cannot be conducted successfully on a high moral plane. You must either lie yourself or hire somebody to lie for you; you must do all manner of deceitful things, and when the campaign is over, whether you win or lose, you feel debased, mortified and humiliated at your experience. Whenever a candidate goes into a town how the lacebox cluster about him! His presence means free drinks at least, and perhaps a dollar or two. The reason of the sudden friendship of them people is as apparent to the candidate as it is to others; but he cannot afford to ignore them; hence he is restrained in his desire to hikk them and is forced to "just eat up" and commune with them socially. All this must be debased to CURRENT CHATTER. The Discourse in a Gossip Way about Matters and Things As I would like to puncture this discussion (of which I have been so often during the week that I wish St. Peter had taken the woman keeps") I confess that I can find no story into which I can thrust my There is one thing I do predict, and that from several quarters of the during the next few weeks will come series of stigmata, each more wonder- the preceding one. Whenever there sharply atrocious murder, or suicide, event (can there be an "atrocious act") they are sertain to be followed series of elopements, suicides and and I remember that the first stiguation of some years ago was foll- a number of others. History of Anaheim there has been, murders and suicides, but not an it. This is probably due to the double the coachman-elopement business origin, and that it is not uncommon our first families to hire coach-ude coachman is not only a danpanage where there are susceptible he is an expensive luxury, which else, except publishers of country firms, can afford to keep. Hence, as little merit in a virtue which has is tempted, I do not think that the Anaheim deserve any great praise non-participation in the ruling pass-hour. In this strain puts me in mind of circumstance illustrative of a moth-and anxiety. The little baby three weeks old and the mother sobbing over it as if her heart bark. To anxious inquiries as to the her grief, she said that she had ing of the time when her baby, ibed the rudiments of education, a college far away from home to education! If that was not "borable," I would like to be put upon a better illustration. Just been reading in a newspaper of a "snake-charmer," one of those who handle the slimy reptiles sent impunity. They generally a man of high spirit, but it is one of the per-alities he has to pay for his ambition. There has been peaked into my case during the past two weeks many tales of the discouragement of Muscat grape-growers. They have indeed, good grounds for complaint. The weather and the price is alike unfavorable for the making of rains. To use a commercial phrase, "the bottom is out of the market" and there seems no immediate proponent for any betterment of the situation. Add to this the fact that the Munat is a grape which winemakers care little for and would just as soon do without, and it will be seen that the predicament is one which makes the present lot of the owner of a Muscat vineyard not a particularly happy one. But I deprecate the tone of utter dispair which some of them adopt. They have for years been getting from fair to good prices for their grapes and rains, and now that the inevitable reaction has come they are not in a mood to reason calmly. They forget that everything has its "upe and downa," that all human events, like the waves of the sea, flow on in irregular currents. No industry known to man has gone on in unbroken prosperity. There is always a season of adversity interspersed, and it is the man who has the grit to "stick" through the inevitable depression that achieves success. The owner of Muscat vineyards should bear the present philosophically. He should call to mind the time when the winemakers dug up their vines because the industry had become unprofitable, and then within three years replanted them, with male dicfionsup-on their want of foresight. I do not know the political complexion of the Anaheim Band—and don't care. But they either have a fine sense of humor, or they are Republicans in disguise. When the distinguished Democratic candidate for Congress concluded his speech the other night, they played "The Giay's Warning" with a vigor which was a trifle suggestive. If I remember aright, that song begins with the adjuration: "Trust him not, he is fooling thee." Mr. Mabury, a Director of the Anaheim Bank and of goodness knows how many other banks, was in town on Wednesday. It is about a year ago since he was here, and it was blowing a "Santa Ana." It was one of the regular three days kind, and blew when he came and was blowing when he went own decrying and then shot the guest, supposing he was her husband. It is supposed that he was admitted by jailney. While asking a dynamic machine at the Health Exhibition in London on September 16th, one of the workmen indurently touched it with the oil cut he held in his hand and was instantly killed. It has been found that the philippine has now attached the vineyard near Lent, on the right bank of the Rhine, amidst between Calcutta and Borneo. The value of the crops affected is 5,000,000 marks. English army contempt appear to be of the same stamp on their American brother who survived here twenty years ago. Gen. Wolensky is complaining of the "written" explains that threaten the failure of his expedition. At Weimachet the office of Adams Express was enforced some time during Tuesday night by bargains and rised of $11,000 in company hands and $2,000 in bank bills. Both packages belonged to the Weimachet navies institution. The doors of the office were all found locked in the morning and the door of the safe (old fashioned) was found closed but not locked. The thieves left no trace. A citizen of Tarrant county, Colorado, whose wife was sick, wishing to go for his daughter, who was sixty miles distant on a visit, in the absence of a horse, rode a two-year-old bull, making the round trip—120 miles—in forty-eight hours. He said the bovine was rather too poor to ride without aaddle, and, as he expressed it, "putty had gittie" on agin after the wind strikes me awhile." Belva Lockwood, who spoke at New York, is of medium size, wearing eye-glasses, drummed in black velvet, a bunch of roses in her courage, and hair Japanese fashion. She stepped briskly on the stage, when a number of women in the front row clapped their hands. Mrs. Lockwood bowed, did not smile, and without looking at the roll of manuscript in her hand commenced her speech in a clear, musical voice. About 500 were present. Admission tickets were fifty cents and one dollar. A dispatch from Albany states that Henry A. Hagebroom, the farm-hand who claims to have discovered the obstructions on the track which wrecked the Boston and Albany train at Kinderhook Friday night, has been arrested on suspicion of having placed the obstruction there himself. The theory is held that the act was committed, not with malicious intent, but in the hope of flagging the train, when he intended to acquaint the passengers with the fact that he had saved their lives in expectation that he would be handsomely remunerated for his gallantry. The fires that have been raging in Atlantic county, N. J., for a week past have increased to such an extent within the last two or three days that the people in the villages have become much alarmed. At Weymouth, a town of about fifty houses, built upon the edge of pines, the citizens have been watching the fires in their direction all night. Sat- Just been reading in a newspaper of a "snake-charmer," one of those who handle the reptiles sent impunity. They generally cater to the well once too often; usually get bitten with fatal result years of immunity.

As fate would have it, a similar wind prevailed when he arrived here on Wednesday, and not all the eloquence of Mr. James could persuade him that it had not been blowing continuously since last October. These winds are not an unmixed evil. I really think that we would be worse off without them. As a disinfectant they are better than carbolic acid, more efficacious than copperas. The causes of malaria are dried up and evaporated by these searching winds, and they leave the country purer and better than they found it. They knock off the superfluous oranges from the trees, whereas the avaricious growers would permit all the fruit to remain to the injury of the tree and at the expense of the undevelopment of the fruit itself. The accompanying dust penetrates into every nook and cranny, and compels a thorough cleaning, which is in itself a sanitary measure. Yes, verily, these winds are a blessing—in disguise. News of the Week. There is such a glut of apples in New York that farmers are selling their crops as low as eight cents per bushel. A citizen of Albany, N.Y., was rendered temporarily blind and helped a few days ago by the stings of a hornet on his head. A Bible was the prize presented by a New Jersey roller-skating rink to the patron who had made the most progress in three months. The strike of the journeymen horse-shoots in New Orleans has come to a close by the employers acceding to the demands of the men. A Lehigh valley newsboy squeezed a billiard ball into his month on a wager, and it required the skill of three physicians to get it out. A bill before the Vermont Legislature provides a bounty of from fifty cents to $1.50 per bushel for grasshoppers, according to the season in which they are killed. There is decided alarm again at New Orleans lost the capricious Mississippi may go rushing to the Gulf through the Atchafalaya and leave the city stranded as an inland town. Willie Webster, a bootblack, fifteen years old, was arrested at St. Louis. He was one of a party of six boys who lighted the fire which resulted in the great lumber yard conflagration at Cleveland on September 6th. The largest dog to be exhibited at the New York bench show, a St. Bernard, owned by G. R. Gildersleeve, is thirty-two inches high and seven feet two inches from the point of the nose to the tip of the tail, thus being larger than Joe Emmet's famous dog.
