y looked up the gate post and
ailed around a little, then without
d-)lay followed the trail to the wagon
and discovered their prey, lying pant-
ing like a tugboat. I looked at the
perspiring convict and my heart
smote me for being the cause of his
race, but I soon found out that it was
a great privilege, enjoyed by but few.
and giving the puppies a race was
considered by thein the very essence
of pleasure. The convict took an old
blanket in his hand and alighted on
the ground, where the dogs fought
him fiercely, making vicious springs
per week 201 for ]}t. repulsed them by bullct-
ing them with the blanket, jumping
away and thwarting them in any
manner without hurting them. Fi-
nally one of (he dogs fastened his
teeth iii the convict's coarse pants and
holding on with- unyielding temv.itv
was swung round and round with
vigor until tired. The dogs were
taken away by a guard, and the con-
vict went away highly pleased with

"Yes, they are the famous blood
hounds—that is, as much blood
houlids as you trill lind in Texas.
They arc simply fox hounds trained
to hunt men."
'•Do you keep them shut up all the
time?"
"Yes. They would make it lively
for the boys it they <jot out."
"How often do you have occasion
to use them during the year?"
"Not more than two or three times.
Convicts will not leave when they
know good hounds are on hand to
catch them.''
"Could you not dispense with the
hounds and depend upon your ^uns?"
"No, indeed; you cannot hold con-
victs with shot guns. It is the fear
of the hounds which keeps them
quiet. Desertion is useless when re-
capture is a moral certainty, as is the
case when good hounds are employ-
ed."
"Do you have difficulty in properly
training the hounds?"
"Oh, no. 'fhat is about the only
sport there is. Here come the pup-
pies. We will give them a run and
let you see how it is done."
A trusty was sent down the laue
and over the fence thro' a large Held
on a run for dear life. When he had
accomplished adout half a mile, or
half his circuit, the puppies, three six
months old hounds, were put on the
track, and they started, nosing the
ground and yelping as they ran. On
they kept, over fences and thro' the
stubbles and ditches, never ceasing
their noise. Sometimes they would
run over the trail where the trusty
had made an abrupt turn; but soon
they would return to the spot where
they lost the scent and cautiously feel
their way until certain they had the
trail, when they would be off again.
The trusty was a long distance run-
ner, but the sot't. ground made his im-
promptu track heavy, and he lagged
as he approached the end of his run,
evidently fatigued.
The tlogs gained on him rapidly,
and were yelping close upon him.
lie was ordered to run to a tree or
fence and get out of the way. so they
would have to lind him by the scent.
He first tried to climb a high gate
post, but the dogs, with their noses
011 the ground, were upon him al-
most, and forced him to take shelter
!n a wagou which was standing in the
yard, where he hid himself in the bed
just as the dogs came to the gate.
A Itoniininrcuce ICeliilt'd by l'x-
CiloTerjior Austin lllitir,
of
Detroit (Mich.) Free Press.
I11 a recent address at Hellevue,
Mich., ex-Governor Austin Blair i>ave
an account of the Convention of Gov-
ernors of Northern States that met
at Altoona, I'a.. at the time of tl e is-
suing of the Emancipation Procla-
mation by President Lincoln, in 18(52.
The convention was called to bring an
influence to hear upon President Lin-
coln to induce him to issue a procla-
mation or do some act that should set
at liberty the 4,000,000 souls; but the
President out-witted the twenty-three
governors by issuing the proclama-
tion the same day the convention met.
The Governors then decided to go 011
to Washington and present to the
President, not the urjrent resolutions
they had intended, but an address
complimenting him upon the step be
had taken. This address was pre-
pared in an able manner by Governor
Andrew, of Massachusetts, who read
it to President Lincoln as he sat at
his desk, while the governors were
seated aiound the room. After that
an incident happened that Governor
Blair said he had never before re-
lated to any one. Governor Kirk-
wood, of Iowa, since a United States
Senator and bccretary 01 the Interior,
rose and said:—
"Mr. President—I should be de-
lighted could I return to inv home
and say to the people of Iowa that the
President of the United States be-
lieves General George B. McClellan is
a loyal man." lie branched olF upon
other subjects connected with the war
and then closed by repeating with
more emphasis:—"I should be glad,
Mr. President, to be able to tell the
p«opleof Iowa that you believe in the
loyaltv and patriotism of (ieorgo B.
McClellan."
Taking his feet down from the desk
upon which they had been resting,
ill*. Lincoln sprang to his feet and
straightened up apparently two in-
ches taller than usual, and said, with
much force and apparent excita-
bility :—
"Loyai! George B. McClellan is as
loyal as any one of you." Then,
stopping a moment, the President's
face assumed its naturally pleasant
look, and he continued in a natural
aud pleasant tone:—"I tell you, gen-
tlemen. General McClellan is an ex-
ceedingly well-intermed general, and
is very careful, in fact, too careful,
and the jrreat trouble with him is that
A Talk With the Old Wan.

Stepney Willowbat sat in old Col.

not notice tile youth's embarrassed
salutation, but came in and seated
himself.
"Ain t: yMil got 110 work to

"I belong— that is. sir—yes. I am a

The box-toed parent rose, and so
did the professional, only lie rose
higher than the old man did, and as
he decendcd the Colonel caught him,
again, this time on the lly, and put,
him rapidly toward his home base,
