Why Hi Iog Bit II tin.
About a week ago we heard one of
our leading citizens bragging about his
wate.h-dog. He went on to say that
Xe.ro was a splendid watch-dog; that
he wou'd never even growl at a child,
ami at night he would tear anybody to
pieces he found about the premises.
"Ain't on afraid," we sisked, "that
he will bite you .some night when you
come home late V"
Xot a bit of it ; he is too intelligent.
lie knows my step as soon as I put my
loot on the gallery. Why, I wouldn't
tnke S.VK) for that dog. lie is the most
reliable biting dog in .San Antonio."
About three days after the foregoing
conversation took place, one morning
earlv we met a policeman leading this
inuVnlical dog out into the suburbs.
"What are you doing with Maj Jones'
dog"" we wanted to know.
"He gave him to me to take him out
and shoot him?"
"What for V" we asked, in amazement.
"JJecause he tackled the Major last
night on his coming home, and bit him
in thirteen places; he would not ue
down town lura week."
"I Jut I heard the Major say that dog
was intelligent; that he knew hit; step,
and wouldn't bite him, no way he could
fix it: hat he wouldn't take $."C0 for the
animal."
"The dog ain't to blame for it," said
the policeman, gazing sadly at poor
Nero, "it is the Major's own fault."
"How so?" we inquired.
"Well, responded the policeman,
slowly, "the dog did know his step and
I'ever even growled at him before; but
lust night, for the fust time since he
lists had the dog, the M:ijor came home
three hours earlier than, usual, and per
fectly sober, and somehow his step was
very difleient fiom what the dog was
used to; he didn't tangle up his legs as
much as common, and the dog was
fooled by it, took him for a perfect
stranger, and bounced him. The dog
ain't to blame; he missed the smell of
whisky; he didn't hear the Major
whoop and cuss and fall down in the
cellar :ts he always does when he comes
home, so Xero kept on bitin' the Major
in fresh places until the family inter
fered." "('tune on Xero!" and the sad funeral
cortege resumed (ho line of march for
the brush. Smi Antonio Herald.
A Touching Kpresinii or Emotion.
The other day when the bootblacks
:isked Uijah if he w;is going t3 hang up
his stocking, a tear came to his eye and
he sadly replied:
"I am an old man. Xo one cares for
me. In a few more moons the snow
Hakes will cover my grave, and the
world will forget that I had rather
oomfort a lost child than to be Presi
dent of the United States."
"When his sad language was commu
nicated to the rep-rters they felt their
eyes grow moist and one of them said:
"Let us do the fair thing by Bijah.
AVhat if it does take a mouth's salary
what do we cue?"
"Let us make him happy," added the
others, and yesterday morning, just ;is
court opened,, they presented the old
janitor with a stocking, and the reporter
with a red goatee kindly said:
"Loving you as we do we could do no
less, and would gladly have done more."
"Xow this is nice!" gasped his Honor,
sobbing like a child.
"It's too much too much!" sighed
the clerk, turning away.
It was a blessed moment. You could
have heard a fire alarm as well as not,
so intense was the stilluess.
The stocking continued three pounds
of beautiful dried apples, one nice han
dle for a tack-hammer, a beautiful
scy the-stone, a decoy duck, a dog collar,
three diaries for 1ST0, one box of stove
blacking, printed instructions for run
ning away from a grizzly bear, and a
photograph of a man in California
whose feet are just one size larger than
J i jah's.
Jt was a season of tears, and as he
carried the big stocking into the cor
ridor and leaned it up against a cell
door, a murmur of admiration circled
around the room and went out through
a broken pane of glass. Detroit Free

Dr. Carpenter on .MeMiierfom.
Aiii'lfiit mikI .Miilorn IntUnrpi.
The theatre of the London Institution,
Finsbury circus, was crowdetl, last
nighU by memlfers assembled to hear
the first of the two lectures by Ir. W.
II. Carpenter, on -Mesmerism, Odylism,
Table Turning, and Spiritualism, con
sidered historically and scientifically."
On the present occasion Dr. Carjenter
addressed himself inainlv to the mes
meric branch of the subject- Quoting
the familiar adage "that history repeats
itself." he reumrked that there was no
subject of which this w.w more true
than of those forming .he topics of his
lecture. Early Christian writers, and
classical authors of the same period,
had referred to extraordinary phenom
ena attributed in their day to sorcerers,
who were in reality Jews, and were
regarded by the Romans in the same
light that gipsies and fortune tellers
were looked upon in our own day. By
wav of illustrating the story of Simon
Magus, who remain'd susended in the
air until Peter and Raul prayed him
down, was compared with the aerial
fiotation of Mr. Home from one room to
another, and the mysterious transporta
tion of Mrs. Guppy from one part of
the city to another. Desirous of avoid
ing iolemical discussion with those who
held views different from his own, he
pointed out that from the very condi
tions of what were called spiritual man
ifestations scientific Investigation was
precluded rather than courted, as in the
discovery of electricity and galvanism.
The state of reverie into which sensi
tive hysterical people could undoubt
edly be placed was attributed to the
susceptibility of particular individuals
rather than to any iower exercised by
mesmeric operators. In support of this
view Dr. Carpenter cited many in
stances to prove that precisel similar
effects were produced by exudation of
mesmeric passes as by the passes them
selves. Thus a servant who could le
mesmerized at will by her master, even
when in a different room, was tested by
being sent with a letter to another house,
where, being unaware of her master's
presence, no mesmeric effects were pro
duced though he was in reality within a
few feet of her. Several other cases
tending to the same end was given,
plainly showing that the person subject
to mesmerism would experience the
same effects from expectation as from
reality, and that the passes made when
unseen, unknown, and unexpected, (the
patient being blindfolded) produced no
effect whatever, while effects followed
expectation, though the influences sup
posed by the patient to be acting were
really not exercised. Thus a mesmer
ized person who declared he saw flame
issuing from a magnet was equally pos
itive when the magnet unknown to him,
was locked in a box or placed behind a
screen. Dr. Carpenter believed that
much of the phenomena arose from a
desire for the marvelous, and he could
assure his hearers that the facts dis
closed by science were quite as marvel
ous as the manifestations under notice.
