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."

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.

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.

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.

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. Clarkscille(Tenn.) Cor.

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

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.

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 !

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

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."
