Ab Secretary of War. he organized the. r?

As a statesman, it was uoi his execlleneo to elaborate theories of civic economy, or expound the rudiments of government; hut with h ready insight into the needs of society, he appreciated and adini-iistcrcd the living principled upon which each pnraee r>i it. rests mid is founded. The eminent feature in General Rusk's stntepmanphip vas its practicability. The power of hit mind lay in'tlic perfect equilibrium of nil its forces.

In the larga cities of New York, and Cingnnati, such a casualty it of frequent occurrcnce, particularly at certain seasons ' of the year. And the dogs themselves, it is said, -with tii?ir 1 - ??"g?cifcy, ore accustomed to lay thq blame of their nUfty'tunea, at the door of certain caterers to thr-.public taste, ffut as we have no such dog killers with us. we must seelc some other solution of the mystery.
