A Dog on the Tollcc Force. There is a dog in Allegheny, Ta., owned by Officer Mitchell, of tile night Eolice force, concerning which the Pitts urgh Telegraph speaks thus: "lie is a common-looking, medium-sized, jet Mack dog. Mitchell came in possession of him one bleak winter night last season when the dog was shivering on the street iu a starving condiiion. He was taken home and provided for, and ever since he has proveil a valuable addition to the police force by assisting the officer in the dis charge of his duties. lie follows the olli cer unceasingly on all his rounds, and when another officer raps for assistance the dog makes haste with all six-ed to the spot and commences to bark. Should any of the ofliccrs have occasion to give chase after anvone the do"r marks out the man, and catching him by the pantaloons de tains him by worrying unlil the arrival of the officers. A short time since the offi cers succeeded in capturing a prisoner that without the assistance of the dog would have escaped. The dog can discern intoxicated persons from others, and should he meet with such a case on his own per ambulations he keeps up a howl until an officer arrives. The police sIwhjs make it a point to go to the spot where the dog is barking, and they are never fooled. The most sinprular feature of the dog's life is that lie will not accompany Officer Mitchell in daylight when dressed in c iti zen's clothes. He sleeps in daytime and is always on duty at night w ith the officer, who prizes him highly." Republicans YVM Do Their Duty. Ear-Sailing. The Pall Mall Gazette sp.ys " There is a peculiar charm about some of our quaint old English customs which, in the eves of the reverent, redeems them from barbarity, and even invests them with a romance to which perhaps they have no actual claim, except on the score of autiquity. In some districts of Lancashire especially the sports and pastimes of the workingman are often relies of bygone years that appear at first sight hardly'in accordance with the spirit of the age,' at least as it is under stood by superficial observers. An inei !cnt recorded by the Leigh Chronicle as having occurred the other day in a public house near (Jolborne is a case in point. Several men were assembled in the hostel ry, and among them a sinker named lloscoe. During the evening the conver sation turned upon what is called 'cru cifixion,' which means nailing a man's cars to the door fur some such valuable consideration as a pot of beer. Koscoe, Mho was in the humor for amusement, consented to have his ears nailed to the door, with the additional provision that he was to drink a pot of ale w hile in that situation, lie said that the ordeal was nothing to him, but he wanted to know whether it ' wasn't hard to get all the beer out of the jug." The difficulty must in deed have been immense, but as it was overcome by Koscoe, and he showed him self so vcry capable of taking sustenance w hen his ears were nailed to a door, it seems almost a pity that they were ever unnailed." A Funny Farce. Says the London c orrespondent of Ap pletorw' Journal: "One of the funniest and, therefore, most absurd farces I have seen for a long time has been pro duced at the Adelphi, where Mr. Halli day's version of 'Nicholas Nickleby' is still running. It is by Mr. Martin Becker. Here is the plot, condensed like Austra lian meat: 'An eccentric old gentleman, Mr. Vanderpump, having, as well as his memory serves him, secreted 4,000 in bank notes of 1,000 each in a pair of old slippers, of all places in the world, finds, to his horror, that somebody has stolen, lost or mislaid the articles supposed to bo thus richly lined, and in this terrible ex tremity oilers his well-dowered daughter iu marriage to whichever of her many suitors may succeed in finding the missing treasure. The stage is soon bestrewn w ith all manner of second-hand slippers, saving only the pair that is required. Sub sequently .Mf.' Vanderpump gets into a towering passion in the consulting-room of a dentist, w ho, to keep him quiet, makes him inhale the laughing-gas used for the purposes of painless dentistry. It is while under this influence that the old gentle man kicks off his'boots, when inside them are found the missing notes.- Miss Van derpump marries the dentist and all ends happily.' " Care of Horses. The London Horse Book says: All hor.-es must not be fed in the same propor tion, without regard to their ages, their constitution and their work; because the impropriety of such a practice is self-evident. Yet it is constantly done, and is the basis of diseases of every kind. Never use bad hay on account of the cheapness, because there is no proper nourishment in it. Damaged corn is exceeding injurious, because it brings on inflammation of the bowels and skin diseases. Chaff is better for old horses than hay, because they can chew and digest it better. AVhen a horse 13 worked hard its food should be chiefly oats ; if not w orked hard its food should chiefly be hay, because oats supply more nourishment and flesh-making material than any other kind of food ; hav not so much. 1 lack-feeding is wasteful. The better plan is to feed with chopped hay, from a manger, because the fixxl is not then thrown out, and is more easily chewed and digested. Sprinkle the hay with water that has salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing to the animal's taste and more easily di gested. A teasponful of salt in a bucket of water is sufficient. The Greek Husband. Olive Harper writes to the St. Louts Globe -Democrat of life in Greece: Here is, indeed, in one respect, the '.'promised land" for the women, for more devoted husbands women never had. A Greek man is only content when he can lavish upon his wife all the luxuries in the way of dress the female heart can desire. He is only happy when, in company with his w ife, in the "house, in the street, or on the promenade, she is the best dressed of all the fair. "With the Greek husband there is no grumbling consent to bestow upon vou enough to buy a pair of boots, while he spends ten times that amount with his friends in champagne suppers; no long drawn visage as he doles out a stingy sum while delivering a solemn lecture as to female extravagance. Xot a bit of it. On the contrary, the Greek husband does not lead his wife through by-streets for fear of dry goods stores, when she wishes to go out for a little walk. He leads her, on the contrarv, past the most fashion able stores, and observes with the eye of the critic all the new styles, and is really (ladies) really and truly willing to spend his money for his own wife. Even for fear she should not be considered as lovely as some one else, he goes to a per fumer's, he buys cold cream, rice powder, delicate pink for cheeks a little blanched by the stern realities of motherhood; he buys a little black for eye-lashes, to brighten eyes that have become somewhat dimmed by tears, perhaps, or vigils over sickly babies, and he not only gives his full and free consent to their use, but he himself will artistically apply them, and afterward compliment his wife upon her beauty till her heart swells with love that he knows so well how to retain, fresh as when the first vows were plighted. Yes, of a verity, the Greeks are bad men, but good husbands and tender fathers. A rxrr.i.E-nEATED snake has been caught in Hanks County, Ga. It is one of those venomous species of snakes com monly "called the copper-bell iei I moccasin, and measures nine inches in length. It has two clearly-defined heads, two mouths (a forked tongue in each), four eves (two in each head), and eight fang. The heads diverge from the neck, there being but one neck-bone. The cash vault of the Treasury at Wash ington requires three keys to open it, and these are in charge of three gentlemen, each holding one key, and the presence of all is necessary to nnlock the vault. The Secretary of the Treasury appoints one, the Treasurer one, and the Bureau of En graving and Printing one. As we write the country is preparing for the great cleclions which are to come off in the fall ; and there is bo much to do, r.nd such ss weight of responsibility rest ing upon Republican voters in the dis charge of their duty, that we are com pelled to warn them against a spirit of Eiipincncss, the indulgence of which would be fatal to the best interests of the nation. A public writer, in a solemn appeal to citizens to perform their political duties, says that every honest man who has the right to vote has no right to withhold his vote. In the great elections which peri odically occur, the issues of which affect so deeply the national welfare, every Re publican understands that he is the repre sentative of principles which have saved the country and raised it in the scale of nations. That those principles snail tri umph in the contest is his daily hope; and to this end the men of energy and thought are willing to toil. They are not only willing to toil themselves, but. know ing the value of the ballot, they arc anxious, in an appeal to it, that the re sponse of the people shall show the popu lar feeling and the popular desire. They will, thereofre, vote for their ow n candi dates; but their labor will not cease there. Every Republican hai influence with his neighbors an influence which springs le gitimately from the principles he profess es and he is bound to exert that influence, to exert every nerve to fix the wavering, to rouse the sluggish, to find those w ho would conceal themselves, and to gather together those that are scat'ered but accessible. Re publicans of this class keep alive, in their localities, the spirit of the party, and are the honored instruments of much of its 6UCCCSS. There is, however, another class of men who also are Republicans by conviction and are willing to accept the results of Re publican prosperity, but who, from some trilling cause, held aloof from the polls or staved at home. Here are men confessing principles acknow ledged to be the noblest that ever led and governed a nation, act ing through selfishness, a3 if there was no accountability for the assistance they gave 4, . f . , .? c- . 1 : . !) in me lutrouuciion oi political contusion, discord and defeat by a positive neglect of duty! They considered the elective fran chise a noble right, but its exercise a mere matter of option. Soured or dissatisfied, they desired to punish the party for what ever they regarded as amiss, and so they omitted to cast their vote! They now see the work of their hands. The dan ger of restoring the Democratic party to power in the nation is duly realized, and they are not likely to repeat the blunder. We" have reason to know that thousands of them regret the past and would do much to undo it. But with the past now we have nothing to do save to learn the lessons it has taught, namely: that neglect of political duty is offering a premium to political misfortune. Politics will not settle themselves satisfactorily if left to take their own way. Nor will a Demo cratic politician aid the Republican party when Republicans leave him unopposed to walk over the course. Republicans who fail to vote commit a breach of duty against themselves, their country and their God. And what is the business of politics? It has been well defined to be the decid ing upon the government and destiny of our country; the settling the question of war and peace; of freedom and oppression ; of religion and irreligion; the fixing whether our lives anil property shall be secure and our very homes sacred. Arc not these vital questions? And are they not involved in every great election such as those now approaching? So that, in the long run, great elections concern and control the most sacred interests of the whole country. It is therefore every man's duty to vote; for every honest man has a claim upon the vote of every other honest man ; and the Republican part) has a claim, direct and imperative, on the votes of Republi cans. Then w ill our elections be the sol emn, majestic act of a mighty people; in the presenc e of the God of Nations, dis charging the highest responsibilities of self-government, "the holiest rite of free dom. Then will the triumph of the Re publican party be assured, and the peace and prosperity of the people lie in the measures prepared and proposed by the men who loved the Union, who fought for it and preserved it. Republic Magazine. Circumstantial Evidence A Escape. 'arrovf Common Sense In Tolitlcs. The man who would vote and work against the Republican party because a few faults have been developed in its splendid record of fourteen years i3 as wise as the man who destroyed his wagon wheel because active service had scratched the paint on its surface. The purest man that ever lived had his faults. They be long to human nature. If we overlook virtues and magnify trifling faults the most illustrious character must pass under our condemnation. The Republican party must be judged from the standpoint of common sense and ordinary justice. There is enough re vealed to the eye, seen by all men, that is gind and praiseworthy in its history, without applying the microscope to the inspection of imaginary faults. The party lays no claim to perfection, but it does to political honesty and true patriotism, ami points to its past record for the vindication of this claim. It it has committed errors it has been quick to remedy them. It has labored to do right. Justices humanity, national unity have been the objects "toward which its face has been turned. To advance, protect, and secure these as the ground-work of our nationality its whole energy has been directed. There is no risk in trusting the Repub lican part. Its fidelity to the Republic has been tested. It was true in the time of peiil; it c annot be untrue in time of security. There is a risk, a positive dan ger, intrusting Democracy. Its record is bad, its present teachings are dangerous, its leaders are unworthy of confidence. What we know- to be good and reliable we should earnestly support. What we be lieve to be bad and unreliable we should reject. UT" The Republicans made a most ex cellent race in Louisville at the State elec tion on Monilay. The vote for Governor was : McCreery, Democrat 9.031 llurian, Kcpubiicun 7.14S Democratic majority 2.78S At the last gubernatorial election, in 1S71, four years ago, the vote was: Leslie, Democr.it 10.W5 lLtihtu, Kepublicnn 5..32 Democratic majority 4.6. 3 Three years ago Greeley received a ma jority of 2,!C. "It cannot be alleged that the vote on Monday last was a light one. On the contrary, it was the largest ever cast in Louisville at a State election. In deed, the Republicans made a splendid light in Louisville. Chicago Tribune, Aug. 4. Referring to the assertion made by colored friends that he is being quoted as having advised the colored people to leave the Republican party, Mr. Frederick Douglass makes this reply in a letter just published: "There is no truth in the story that I at Hillsdale, or anywhere else, advised colored men to abandon the lead ers of the Republican party and to set up for themselves. In the speech at Hills dale no such idea was in my mind and heart, and how anybody could honestly think otherw ise I cannot imagine. Proper ly interpreted, it is an Appeal to the Ameri can people to substitute the simple rule of justice lor the rule ef invidious charity in their treatment of the negro to give him his rights rather than alms, to give him, not favor, but fair play." If a man of an observing nature would only jot down the many little incidents he hears from the lips of the oldest citizens where he re-sides he would, in the course of time, accumulate enough matter to fill a large-sized book, and it would doubtless be far more interesting than three-fourths of the "trash" which is at the present day offered for sale on the shelves and counters of the city look-stores. The following in cident was related to me some years ago by an eminent physician of this city, w ho has been called to rest long since. 1 will attempt to relate it as nearly in his words as my recollection will permit: In this country in the year 183 there lived a man who had removed from the North with his own and his wife's rela tions a few years previously. His wife, who had lived all her married life on very indifferent terms with her husband, sud denly died. As she was in apparent per fect health on the day of her death, and there had been violent quarrels between them, the man was regarded with a con siderable degree of suspicion. At the burial of his w ife her relatives attended. Toward them the husband had always en tertained a great hostility; but on this tc CJLsion he w as particularly urgent that they should return with him after the funeral and partake of a meal at bistable. They w ere not disposed to do this, both on ac count of the recollection of the treatment of his wife, his uniform hostility to them, and the very suspicious circumstanc es sur rounding his wife's death. He continued with so much carnc-stness to urge them to return to his house and partake of his hos pitality that at last they yielded. Their meal was placed liefore them, at which a dish of baked beans was abundantly served. But a short time elapsed after the meal before every individual of the party was taken sick some so violently affected that their lives were despaired of. These very suspicious circumstances determined the neighbors to have the man arrested, and it was accordingly done. The house was searched and a quantity of arsenic was found, of which it was ifterward ascertained he had purchased a large quantity of an apothecary a short time before the death of "his wife. Another corroborating circumstance was I that the accused had, on the dav on which his wile died, earned to her while in the field a glass of liquor, an act of courtesy whic h it was quite out of his custom to proffer. The man was placed in custody and preparations were made for his trial. The physician who attended the deceased was satisfied that the death was from poi son, and was willing to give his evidence to that effect. Public opinion was highly ex asperated on the subject, and the conviction of the individual was confidently antici pated at the approaching session of the court. Things leing thus circumstanced, an eminent physician, who was a personal friend of the physician in charge of the case, chanced to visit the place and sought an interview with him. He inquired if the physician had examined the body internal ly after death. On being answered in the negative, he placed before him in a strong manner the situation in which he would find himself when culled on before a court and jury for evidence of his assertion that the death was by poison. It was soon de cided that a disinterment and an examina tion of the body should be made, and the new physician, with another medical friend, accompanied the first-named phy sician to the place of the presumed mur der. The community expressed great sat isfaction at the knowledge of this intention, and were eager to assist in the disinter ment, assured that it would only add con firmation to their belief in the guilt of the accused. The body w as quickly removed from the earth. A question then arose where the examination should take place, for as the body had been buried three weeks no one was willing that it should be brought intcrhis dwelling-house. A neigh boring barn was proposed, but to this the physician objec ted, on account of the want of sufficient light. The churc h building was then named, and thither the body was carried. It was placed on a table ill the center aisle, and the examination com menced in the presence of the assembled and eager multitude, who filled the pews and galleries. The principal physician prepared to open the abdomen, and the gentlemen w ho accompanied him under took in the meantime the examination of the head. To the abdomen of course the attention of all was chiefly ciirected. The operation of opening the head, however, advanced more rapidly than that of the alnlomen, and the removal of the cranium discovered to the surprise of the operators and spectators a suffusion of blood in the organ and all the unequivocal marks of apoplexy, while the stomach and other di gestive organs were found to exhibit not the slightest indication of the presence of any poisonous substance. The surprise and probabh, in their excited state of mind against the supposed criminal, the disappointment of the spectators were ex treme. The result of the examination was irresistible in proof that the death was oc casioned by apoplexy an4 not by poison, and the man's life was saved, for it is scarcely to be doubted that a jury would have convicted him upon the evidence of the circumstances enumerated. It will probably be asked: " How is the circumstance of the sickness of the wife's relatives to be accounted for?" It is ex plained by a singular fact, of w hich one or two other instances arc known to have occurred. The beans of which the meal was principally composed had been baked on earthen vessels and were allowed to grow cold. They had been kept long enough to have turned acid to a slight de gree, and when they were placed in Ihe oven to be reheated, the action of the acid on the sides of the jar decomposed the glazing, with which the interior of the jar was coated, and of which sulphuret of lead is the chief ingredient. A poisonous substance was thus developed and infused into the contents of the jar, and those eat ing thebeans were attacked with symptoms of sickness more or less severe according to the part of the jar from w hic h thebeans w ere take-t of which they ate. After this it was not eliflicult to admit that the arsenic found in the man's possession might have been purchased for the destruction of rats, as he had constantly averred was the case. I leave this statement, the authenticity of which may be confidently relied on, to the reflection of the readers "of the Courier Jonrnnl. There can be but little doubt that had this individual been brought to trial (as he would have been but lor the intervention of the physicians visiting the place) without the examination of the liotly, his life would have been sacrificed. Few jurors would have hesitated to con vict him. It would have been one in stance added to the many on record of the danger of a reliance on mere circumstan tial evidence, however strong, and shows clearly the importance of thoroughness in the investigation of all questions of medi cal jurisprudence.

Fight With a Rat. No less a person than the Engineer-in-Chief of the Navy, W. W. W. Wood, came hobbling, like a wounded soldier, and w ith his ankles bandaged, into Welker's this morning in search ef a breakfast. "Gout, gout," said I. "Too much of Robeson's old Madeira." "No.no," lie replied, solemnly; "rat, rat!" and he proceeded to tell me of a des perate combat, lasting nearly an hour, that lie had had with a monster rat the night lefore. The family being away and the rats not getting anything to eat for several days had become hungry and desperate. Mr. Wood was sleeping alone in a back room, the bed being near a door. About one o'clock in the morning he was awak ened suddenly by a severe pain in his foot and heard something jump heavily to the floor. A light revealed the fact" that a deep g:ish had been made on the ball of his left foot, from which the blood was flowing freely. As there was not a cat in the house, Mr. Wood at once concluded that it was a rat, and that it had made its exit. After wash ing and bandaging the wound he again stretched himseif on the ln-d and fell into a doze. The rat came at him again, this time making an ugly gash in the heel of his right foot. After bandaging the sec ond wound Mr. Wood went in search of the rat, resolved to exterminate him if pos sible. But his ratship had eaten his w ay into a bureau in the front room. A screw-driver was brought into use, and one by one the drawers were opened, and there, in the lower one, was found, to use Mr. Wood's own words': "Mr. Rat, half as big as the water pitcher, and hxiking directly at me with a pair of the wicked est eyes. He then made a desperate jump direc tly at m face." Mr. Wood had shut the door, and the only thing he had to de fend himself with was a small rattan. The rat made a desperate fightwith him, more than a dozen times jumping to the top of the bureau, and thence in Mr. Wood's face and at the throat The combat lasted nearly an hour by the clock, when, find ing that he could neither kill nor wound the infuriated thing, and that he might get more seriously injured, he withdrew, leaving the rat in possession of the field, and, indeed, the victor. Wood waited for morning and his serv ant man to arrive. In the meantime the rat went desperately to work gnaw ing at the door in order to again attack the chief engineer, and had got more than halfway through when the servant came, and the two entered the room, armed with strong sticks, to renew the combat. Removing all the furniture but the bureau, into which the rat had again retreated, they drove him out and renewed the fight The infuriated creature fought as desperately as before, now- jumping at the throat of one of his as sailants, now at the other, inflicting ugly wounds on both, and it was not until alter the battle had lasted twenty minutes that the rat was killed. His bfg head is now exhibited at the Navy Department as a trophy. Washington Cor. A'. Y. Hun. A Clergyman Saves a Life at the Risk of His Own. Nortit Mountain is a quiet hillside re sort on a branch road oil" from AVilkcs barre, Pa. Adjacent to the hotel are mines and shafts. In a new one of these latter, which was being sunk, the flow of water at eighty feet was "so plentiful as to compel its temporary abandonment. A few days ago the " ikjss" descended the shaft to ex amine its condition. He was lowered lift- feet, when the sudden slacking of the rope showed that the Captain must have fallen from the bucket. It was clear that he had lieen overcome In gas, and that if he had not been already killed by the fall that lie would soon die from drow ning or suffo cation. The group of guests were of course horror-stricken, and urged the unfortunate 1kss' gang numbering many men to go to his rescue, but they peremptorily re fused to take the risk. Their cowardice so disgusted the Rev. Walter Q.Scott, late professor at Lafayette College, Easton. and present pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Tenth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, that, accoutred as he was, he plunged into the bucket and insisted upon being quickly lowered to the scene of peril, lie w as re luctantly let down, and in a very short time signaled to the alert and anx ious hearts at the windlass to " hoist away.' This was done with a hearty will, and the added weight told them that the impulsive and dangerous exploit had not been futile. On reaching the surface Mr. Scott fainted from the great stress that he had undergone, and his rescued burden was a wet, limp and senseless mass. Mr. Scott was soon restored, and the "Captain" also jielded to treatment and called for a glass of whisk and his pipe for a little solace. Mr. Scott reported that the gas was overpowering, and that he was cautious to inhale as little of it as possible. He found the victim under water, and as he was a man weighing about 200 pounds it taxed his strength to lug him into the bucket, anil when he had himself climbed in and given the signal to hoist he was in a stupor and recollected no more until he revived among his friends. He has entirely re covered, and not being of a nervous" tem perament he experiences no unpleasant effects. The deed would have been heroic in any man, but in a clergyman, who, as a class, are more noted for timidity than courage in physical and temporal affairs, it was as heroic and daring as it was note worthy. J'h iladelphia Times. Recovery of a Valnahle Letter. The First National Bank of this city has had a c urious and somewhat trouble some experience with a " lost letter." On Feb. 0 last a letter containing checks, etc., to the amount of $10,000 was mailed from the First National Bank at the Paterson Postollice to the Importers' and Traders' National Bank of New York by the New York agent of the bank here. The New York bank failed to receive the letter, and of course therewas much anxiety about it on the part of the officers of the First National Bank, which would have been the loser if the vouchers were not made good. An exhaustive search was made in the Paterson and New York Postoflices, as well as in both the banks, the search ex tending over days, but no trace of the missing package could be found. Then strong apprehensions of a mail-robbery were entertained, and the Government officials were impressed with this idea. The First National Bank meanwhile pro ceeded to make the best arrange ments it could for avoiding loss. An extensive cor respondence the package containing thirty accounts of sundry parties was necessary, anil indemnity bonds had to be prepared and given by the bank to all these parties. Finally all was provided for except about $200 of pension checks of the United States Government, it taking much longer to arrange that matter. Now comes the curious denouement : On July 0 exactly six months to a day from the time the letter was lost the clerks in the Postollice in this city liad oc casion to poke under their stamping-table for something that had dropped on the floor, and there, snugly lying in a small crack between the bottom of the table anil the floor, was the missing letter, with its $10,000 intact. It was tile only letter ever lost at this office, and it is a little remark able that it should have been so valuable a one and should have caused suc h ex traordinary trouble and anxiety. Paterson (A". J.) Press. Medical Students Outwitted. Tire Bridge of Arts has been the scene of comic as well as serious events, and, of the former, one was furnished by a pro fessor under the reign of Louis Philippe, at whose appointment to the c hair of I13 gicne in the School of Medicine the stu dents for some reason or another took um brage, annoying him with hisses and cries during his first lecture. He, however, went through with it, and, thinking his troubles over for at least that dav, proceed ed toward his home by the Bridge of the Saints Peres, when, to his surprise, he found himself accompanied by 200 stu dents, booting anil laughing at him in a way that students only arecapable of. The Bridge of Saints Peres on his left was free, that on his right the Bridge of Arts at that time took toll. An idea struck the professor and he turned toward the latter, still accompanied by the students, who fumbled in their pockets to see if their finances were equal to an unexpec ted de ninnd. It appears that they were not, when the professor, at the head of the column, handed a twenty-franc piece to the toll keeper, saying:" "These gentlemen are with me let them pass." This disarmed the crowd and set it to laughing, and afterward the professor de livered his lectures without interruption. Albert lihotles, in Scribner for August. Anecdote of the Marquis of Hertford. One day he was walking with his chum, Cuthbert, when an English groom rode by on a splendid horse. " Oh," said he, " I must have that horse! Let us jump into this ftirre' (he was standing by one on the Boulevard ties Italiens) " and follow the man." With some diflicultv they kept up with him. At last Lord Hertford thrust his huad out of the w indow and asked the groom, in English, whose horse it was. " I'm not bound to tell you, am I?" " No, but be civil ; is it the Emperor's?" " No, it is not! If you must know, it belonrjs to the Marquis of Hertford .'" He knew neither his own horse nor his own groom ! A baby born in Springfield, Mass., the other day weighed twenty pounds and two ounces immediately after its birth. A stroke of lightning tore an Atlanta Bible all to pieces the other day. USEFUL AID SUGGESTIVE. When a sewing-machine is gummed up so it runs stiff and hard, a little kerosene oil will clean it out in a few moments. Gentlemen farmers, says the German town Telegraph, are to the agricultural community what old maids, though gener ally worth their weight in gold, are to society the butt of many a joke and the treasury on which we draw for considera ble fun, but which we find, when joking is set aside, are verv often institutions of the most commendable character, and which no one would like to see wholly set aside. A GEsn.EM.vxof Norfolk, Va., w ho had been tortured for some time with neural gia, hearing of a noted physician in Ger many who invariably cured that disease, visited him for treatment He w as perma nently cured after a short sojourn, and the doctor freely gave him the simple remedv used, which was nothing but a poultice of tea made from our common field thistle. The leaves are macerated and used on the parts affected as a poultice, while a small quantity of leaves are boiled down in the proportion of a cptart to a pint, and a small wine-glass of the decoction drank before each meal. English agricultural journals contain numerous directions aliout the culture of corn a new crop in that country. Some early-ripening varieties have been found which it is believed will give a c rop. At all events there need be no difficulty in securing corn of the early sweet varieties for use while green. One important dis covery our English friends have made, i.e.: not to hill the corn but keep the ground as nearly level as possible. The only effect of hilling in the damp, cool climate of England is to mulch the roots, keeping them still cooler and delaying ripening. Even in our hot, dry summers corn does not want earth drawn around the stem. If it seems to do good it is only because it necessarily loosens the soil, al lowing the roots to "spread better. Corn needs as tropical weather as it can get any where, and would generally be benefited by drawing the earth aw ay from the plants, rather than to them. Moore's Rural Xeie Yorker. A c onnESPONDENT of the New York Sun calls the attention of all consumers of kerosene oil to the pernicious and un healthy prac tic e of using lamps with the wicks turned down. The gas which should be consumed by the flame is by this means left heavily in the air, while the cost of the oil thus saved at present prices would scarcely be one dollar a year for the lamps of a household. His attention was called particularby to this custom by boarding in the country where kerosene was the only available light. A large fam ily of children living in the same house were taken ill one night, and on going to the nursery the mother found the room nearly suffocating, with a lamp turned dow n, whereupon the physician forbade the use of a lamp at night, unless turned at full head. He said he could quote many cases, one of a young girl subject to fits of faintness, which if not induced, were greatly increased, by sleeping in a room with the lamp almost turned out. Beside the damage to health, it spoils the paper and curtains, soils the mirrors and windows, and gives the whole house an untidy air and an unwholesome odor. Use of Salt in Packing Meats. The Massachusetts Ploughman publishes the following interesting and valuable facts alxmt the uses of salt and the kinds of salt to use in packing meats. The nieat paeker does not aim at a mere preserva tion of his beef and pork; his main object will alw ays be to secure the keeping of his meat in its most palatable condition, and as much as possible of its natural color. Chloride of sodium, or w hat means here about the same, a good commercial salt, answers both ends satisfactory- if prop, crly applied. It does not necessarily change the color of the meat, nor does it affect its tenderness beyond reasonable limits; it is also a good antiseptic, for it prevents, if present in a sufficient quan tity, the development of organisms of a lower order, which in their growth, as a natural consequence, w ill hasten the disin tegration of the great mass and thus its final putrefaction. Practice recommends the use of the coarse and hard qualities of salt for meat packing, for the following reasons: They dissolve gradually, and contract the meat by degrees to a desirable compactness; the- keep the salt pickle within a certain moderate concentration; they cannot enter mechanically into the meat and thus over charge it, and may therefore be applied in sufficient excess, so as to compensate for the losses of pickle by leakage, etc., w ith out endangering the tenderness and the flavor too premature. The common fine salt answers for a short period of keeping very well, and is consequent Ij used in the packing of meat for immediate family consumption. Fifty to fifty-six pounds of coarse salt are usually taken lor the salt ing down of one barrel of meat ; the bottom and the top of the barrel are always carefully covered with a layer of coarse salt. The coarse qualities of salt which are used in our country are cither manu factured from brine or from sea water. The purer the salt the nicer is the flavor of the meat. A salt which contains large quantities of foreign saline admixtures, particularly of chloride of calcium and of chloride of magnesium, imparts a pun gent and disagreeable taste and injures also the color of the meat. Pinching the Terminal Buds. Yorxo fruit trees of all sorts, as well as grapevines and lu rry bushes, require con stant attention during the growing season in order to induce the branches and lead ing limbs to attain a symmetrical growth. When allowed to grow- without any train ing or pinchingof the terminal buds young trees throw out long and slender shoots, when the wish of the proprietor is that the growth should be stocky and s nimctrical. By pinching off" the terminal" buds of a growing shoot the flow of sap that has hitherto concentrated at the end to aug ment the length of the branch will now be diverted from the terminal bud to the de velopment of the side buds and to the grow th of the shoot or branch in size and thickness rather than in length. Our own practice is to keep a vigilant eye on the grow th of all our trees,vines, and berry bushes during the growing season. Here, for example, is a pear tree, some of the branches of which are growing lux uriantly, and in some instances the in crease 111 length is quite too rapid for the size and strength. Whenever this is the case all the terminal buds, or a portion of them, as may be required, are pinched off. In some instances two central canes seem to be vying with each other for the as cendency. As a fork or crotch should al ways lie "avoided in training trees, the ter minal bud of one of the contending branches is pinched off. By this means the one that is not pinched takes the lead and becomes the central or main stem of the tree-top. In case a lateral branch is disposed to start off beyond the length of other branches, the terminal bud is pinched oil" to keep the rampant grower in proiier check. Near the veranda of the dwelling are tvo peach trees and one wild-goose plum tree, which have already (July 12) thrown outw ard and upward a new grow th about three feet in length. As this new growth was Ukj slender for such length the termi nal bud of every branch was pinched off. In the course of a week those slender shoots had increased rapidly in size and other terminal buds had "been formed. But as the length w as already too great for the diameter and strength of the new growth the terminal buds were all pinched off the second time. This practice will be continued until the side buds have been developed and the branc hes have increased in diameter to such an e xtent that there will be a proper symmetry between the length and the diameter of the entire growth. After shoots have attaimtl a growth of one or two feet in length the in telligent culturist should understand whether the branches are too slender, or whether the growth is desirably symmetri cal. If a tree-top increases in diame ter two feet each way from the center, or four feet- in the aggregate even season, and a growth of two feet is made upward, trees will soon come into full bearing. The aim should al ways be to produce stocky and symmetri cal branches and bearing twigs. There is nothing gained by having a long and slen der branch with only a few fruit-buds near the outer extremity. It will be far more satisfactory and better in every re spect to keep the terminal buds pinched off after a desirable length has been at tained, and let the growth be made in size and stockiness rather than length without desirable strength. By pinching off the terminal buds the new wood will be more completely matured before the end of the growing season. Consequently the new growth will endure the cold of winter with little or no injury; whereas, if young branches are allowed to grow unrestraine-d and to continue their growth in length chiefly until cold weather has come on, the new wivxl will often be so immature that a large portion of a tree-top will die before the ensuing spring. This is a common occurrence, which may be avoid ed by timely pinching off the terminal buds! The new- canes of blackberry and rasp berrv bushes will often shoot upward and bend over to the ground, making a grow th of ten to twelve feet in length. There is nothing gained by such a long growth. The entire canes often die clear to the ground, simply because the new wood did not mature properly. Our own practice is to pinch oil the terminal buds ot black lerry and raspberry bushes as soon as they have attained a growth of about four feet in height. By this practice they be come stocky and strong, and the new wood will become thoroughly matured before winter, so that the bushes will require no protection. More than this, when the grow th in length is checked, a great many side branches will lc developed, which will yield a liountiful crop of excellent fruit the next season. A stool of black berry or raspberry bushes that is kept pinched back to a height of aliout four feet will yield far more"l'ruit than if al lowed to grow at random, without any pinching or pruning. X. Y. Herald. Sulphur For Fowls. There is no remedy and assistant so easily and cheaply obtained, so harmless to the fowls, or so satisfactorj- in its result as sulphur. It being in the system of ani mals to a small degree, there is a greater affinity for it than there otherwise would be. It c an be administered to the fowls by having it in a small box, so that they -can help themselves, or by mixing it with their teed once a weeK, or as often as then are indications of vermin. Penetrating as it does to every part of the system, the parasites are quickly and surely de stroyed. Also gapes are said to be pre vented in chickens. Fowls need it more than most animals, their feathers contain ing between 4 and 5 per cent, of sulphur. Their eggs also have a small quantity, w hich is noticed by the discoloring of a silver sjioon when it conies in contac t with a lMil2tl egg. Applied externally to the fowls when on the nest, to the nest itself, or mixed with the soil in the dusting-box, it is equally efficacious in destroying ver min. To be used as a fumigator of build ings, it is necessary to remove the fow ls, close the room or house, mix a little salt peter with the sulphur, in an iron vessel, and apply a match to the mixture. This should be done in the morning, and the door and windows opened in the after noon for a thorough ventilation. Lard mixed w ith sulphur in proper proportions and applic'd as often as it is necessary to the feathers or the neck and back of young ami old turkeys is a very good safe guard against the ravages of foxes. Poul try World. Green Paint for Garden Purposes. Nothing is of greater importance to the setting off of a country or a suburban residence than the appearance of veran das, the trellis work, and the stands. To keep them in perfect order they should be painted anew- every year, and their improved appearance will fully repay the trouble and expense. In the first place it is needful to cleanse them from all dust and dirt, and it is well to select a dry chry for this purpose. When they are perfectly dry apply with a large paint brush the first coat, made of the follow ing mixture: Take white lead and min eral green ground in turpentine, with the addition of a small quantity of turpen tine varnish. When the first coat is well dried in Use the following for a second coat: Take the same mixture as before, but add as much turpentine var nish as is needed to give it a good gloss; and if one desires a still brighter shade of green add a little Prussian blue, which greatly improves the beauty of its color. Such a coating as this will be impervious to the weather for some time, and is also an excellent paint for window-blinds. If you cannot procure the turpentine varnish, you can prepare it from the following rec ipe: To every quart of turpentine add one pound of rosin pounded very fine ; let it boil in an iron pot or tin vessel for about an hour. It is rather dangerous to make this varnish indoors on account of its lia bility to take fire. It is better to build a fire out of doors, and make the varnish where it will do no harm. X. Y. Observer. A St. Louis Dog. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat tells the following dog story: Of all animals, domestic or wild, per haps the dog, for intelligence, stands at the head. The line dividing between in stinct and intellect is but a line, and oft entimes the shrewdest metaphysicians are puzzled to tell exactly where the one begins and the other ends. Indeed, when some brilliant evidence of high in stinct is brought into favorable contrast with low intellect we are almost per suaded to believe that, like the equato rial line, it is but an imaginary one. Of all the dogs w hich have been seen in this city, not one can compare with " Pompey" the Franklin avenue dog. Pompey is ten years of age. He was born on the premises of his present ow n ers. He stands about twenty-eight inches high, is of comely proportions, of very sedate manners, and has ever been ad verse to cultivating the acquaintance of other dogs. The little social courtesies which other less dignified dogs are wont to exchange whenever they meet are be neath his dignity, and he will countenance no undue familiarity either from man or dog. B3 tlay he is a perfect hermit, hiding himself in the rear of his mas ter's stables, and seldom coming from bis seclusion even for food or tlrink; by night, even his owners are powerless to keep him from his " beat." When but two years of age he begun a career of night-watching. Not confining himself to his master's premises, he included the entire neighborhood. Thus, in a few weeks he became aware that policemen were similarly engaged, and he was not long in making himself acquainted with his blue-coat eel allies, with whom he soon became a constant nocturnal companion and a great favorite. In summer and winter, through rain and snow, when other dogs were comfortably crouched in their kennels, for eight years has Pompey, faithful to his duty and apparently con scious of his responsibility, paced his lonely lK at side by side with the police man. Though he never received the ap pointment, though the Commissioners jiave never officially recognized him as in tile service, lie lias never laiieieu ili 111s fidelitv. When on duty at night he often times "has met his masters on the street, but no amount of coaxing can induce him to give to them a single w ag of recogni tion. Off duty, by day, he is equally in different to the salutations of his night companions. He knows perfectly the boundary of his beat, and the policemen have frequently passed the line to see if he would follow; but he invariably comes to a dead halt and bv his action says: "You mistake vour limit." The policeman re lieved from duty at eleven o'cloc k is in stantly ignored the moment his partner conies on duty, and no strategy c an in veigle him into following his first com panion. He is thoroughly familiar w ith the signification of the" different "raps," and on several occasions when the Ser geant's challenge (two raps) was given, being for good 'and suffic ient reasons in a semi-conscious state, the dog actually roused him from his nap by paw ing and nosing at his hands! And it is w e ll known by his owners that even in the day-time, w"hen he is offduty and when nothing else will move him, the sound of ".three dis tinct raps" (a policeman's call for help will instantly rouse him from his hiding place; and on one such occasion, being fastened, he broke his chain and dragged the remnant of it after him to the scene of the difficulty, where it is needless to say he rendered effective service. There are several business places on his beat where a light is h it burning alt night, and w hen I the policeman on duty occa sionally takes a look in to see that all is right. "At each of these places the dog in variably stops and, standing on his hind legs, takes observations with as intifh up' parent concern as his partner the other policeman! For years it has been the habit of the ped iceman on duty to divide w ith him whatever they may have in the way of lunch. It by design or neglect a fair di vision of rations is omitted, he will promptly manifest his indignation by fall ing nearly a square to the rear of the of fender, which distance he w ill doggedly maintain to t lie close ot the rounds. When an arrest is made, he always get- in position so as to place the prisoner be tween himself and his partner. But, per haps, the most conclusive indication ol in telligence is shown by his recognition, ever after, of any prisoner whom' he has once accompanied to the lock-up. No matter when or whore he may meet such a one, he seems to look upon him as .in outlaw, and, while never actually attack ing, he will, by indescribable hut" eloquent actions, endeavor to hold him in durance. His owners were at first greatly annoyed at Pompey's nightly wanderings, and made many efforts to keep him exclusively to his home duties; but they have long since concluded that the doctrine of Pythagoras is made manitest in their dog, "and they have come to believe that the spirit of some deceased policeman has infiwed it self in the body of Pompey. Be that as it may, Pompey is one of the institutions of the cit-, and one, too, of w hich it may well be proud. m m Gen. Butler, having been asked by the Treasury Department to indicate the present whereabouts of a former stall officer in whose accounts a discrepancy has been discovered, replied : "The officer in question has been dead ten years, and I reverently believe he is in heaven." )A"KTH for TIIR -ni m-)lna I'ri.o I'n:k hki!
