SOME HUMAN NATURE IN DoGs.-lt
is customary 10 kick dogs about-to pass
ordinances to prevent them from ranging
at will, as though there was not spark
of humanity in them; yet nothing is farth-
err from truth. OF this we had ocular
demonstration yesterday morning. A
sma Il dog had managed to pick up a
bone, rather bountilully supplied with
meat and was making the best of his
way to place where he might enjoy his
meal in quetness, when he was assailed
by large dog, and thrown with his back
to the earth and feet to the sun his as
sailant astride of him, and threatening
oil sorts of bloody murder, in case of
resistance. He seemed to say to the
fallen one, you weak puny rascal, how
dare you presume to walk the streets
with such bone as that, without the
permission of your betters Such
choice bits were never intended for the
like of you, but for those who are able
to defend the right of their possession
You deserve immolation for your pre-
sumption but on condition that you
presume no more in this way, your worth
less life shall be spared this once. Do
you promise"
The PROSTATE cur made an asserting
motion with his paws closed his eyes
in token of sincerity and submission, and
was let off, minus the bone. His con-
queror, then, with great compIacency,
picked up the spoils of the vanqushed,
and with head and tail erect, started for
his kennel. AS we were watching this
exhibition Of Human nature in the ca
nine species, and regretting that dogs
could not soar above the capacity of
man, we observed much larger dog
issue from behind an empty box, and
with an angry yelp, light on the posses
sor Of the bone. The struggle was but
momentary, and the spoils chan9e ed
hands, or, rather mouths again Who
will or can say, after such exhibitions
that dogs have not large share of hu-
man, either by force or fraud, approprl-
ates to himself the goods of another !;
while this, in turn, is despoiled by the
superior cunning of third. The case
is clear either the dogs have a large
portion of human nature in their compo-
sition, or man has more dog nature than
he usually gets credit for. How the
case may be we will not firm ; yet this
we assert, without the fear of dogs or
men, thai lite with both is but struggle
for the entire bone; and that the right
of discovery is no guaranty of posses
sion. --Roch. Daily Ado.

From the Western Citizen.
If SHE is YOUR SLAVE SHE CAL

If SHE is YOUR SLAVE SHE CAN GO.
The following case occurred some
years ago, at the town Of Little York,
Pennsylvania.
A free colored woman from Bal
timore, Md. had gone to York to Wis
it some friends, and was about to re-
turn. She went to the stage Office
to pay her fare, but was told that
she could not go, because there were
not " blacks enough to make load"
She went and sat on the step to weep,
when Rev., a reformed sailor,
came along, and asked the cause Of
her grief. She told him her story.
He pointed her over the way to the
hotel where the stage was to stop.
and bid her go there and wait. " l
am going TO Baltimore, and | will
see that you get there"
He then went to the stage Office,
entered his name on the way bill,
and told them where to call for him
at the hotel.
When the stage drove up at the
door, he took the woman's band box,
and bid her follow him. AS they
approached the stage, the following
dialogue took place between him and
the driver.
Driver. That niger can't go!
Minister. What niger?
D. That niger wench.
M, What nj gger wench D.?
D. O, you must be a fool that
black woman.
M. Yes, she can.
d. Well, she shan't.
M. Why?
d. Because there are four gen
tlemen in now, and they wont ride
with her.
M. Well, | am going too, and
that will make five gentlemen, and
yet there will be room for her. l

is for her my name is on your way

me.

CAUGHT A TARTAR

One OF the SWlndug flash auction eS
adjustments, with which Chatham street
abounds, in their angling for pIunder on
Thursday, caught somewhat more than
they intended. A clergyman from Hi
nois, passing the shop and hearing the
birds, was induced to go in. He saw
card of jewlry for sale apparently very
cheap, aud said he would like part OF the
things on it but did not want the whole.
Two gentlemen at once stepped up and
politely saying they would divide them
with him, the card was knocked down TO
the three. They were at once invited
back to settle, and the door was shut
The clergyman observed, with some sur
prise, that eight or ten men, who seemed
10 have no business there, accompanied
them. He took from his purse money
enough, as he knew, to pay his share and
laid it down. But great quantity Of ar
once produced as among those he had
bid of, anG presented with bill against
him amounting to $50
He saw at once their game-and brush
ed all the articles away except those he
had bought, some of which including a
watch, he thrust into his pocket, and took
a box enclosing the others under his arm.
He invited the other two men TO go into
the front room and divide the articles !;
but the whole company at once thronged
between him and the door, thrust their
fists under his nose, and IN threatening
tones demanded their 800 Being man
Of powerful frame, with one sweep Of
each hand he scattered them hither and
lhither, and walked out with a genuine
Western stride, shaking them off with
perfect ease. They followed and had a
parley in the front room, offered him
back his money and demanded the goods
he had bought in return Pockeiing the
cash, he gave up the box, and cooly say
ing that the watch would nearly pay for
his coat, which they had badly torn, start
ed for the door. They again opposed
him-but he threw them across the room
with perfect monchalance, and marched in
10 the street.
They followed and continued 10 annoy
him as far as Chatham-s square, when he
seized one by the collar and commenced
dragging bin 10 the Police Office. He
went reluctantly, and The rest, as many
be supposed, scattered in every direction !;
and releasing his victim, who made tracks
literally with fearful rapidity. he went
about his business, remaining master of
the watch, as well as of the satisfaction of
having triumqhed over a gang Of scoun-
drels.-Tfi5une

M. 1t is none of your matter who
she is; and opening the stage door,
says he to the woman, "Come
ma'am get in, and take the back
seat"
Here the strife of words ceased,
and the stage went off. When they
stopped to dine, the noble protector
carried his politeness out, by order
ing dinner for two.
When they came to sit down, the
landlord objected, but the kind
hearted minister insisted on his right,
and the woman sat down and took
her dinner. When the stage arrived
at Baltimore, he ordered the driver
to stop at her door, alighted, and de-
livered the woman safely and kind
ly to her husband, who refunded
him his money, and added many
thanks.
have this case from that excel
lent man himself, and allow me to
ask two questions.
How surperlatively mean and
slave-like is that spirit in northern
stage drivers, steamboat captains,
and railroad conductors, that will
carry slaves, ONLY because along
with their masters or mistresses, but
at the same time will reject and
abuse, and insult free person!
Mr.. Editor, was not that reformed
sailor Samaritan good and true p
That was not amalgamation; but it
was acting the part of a humane
protector, just as he would have been
glad to have some one act by his
wife or daughter, had she been
thrown among strangers. A few
such persons among US, would break
the back bone of wicked caste.

FRIEND EASTMAN Il write to in
form you Of the progress of emanci-
patton. Twenty-four fugitive slaves
have passed through this city within
the last forty-eight hours; and among
them was Fanny, the white fugitive
slave from Maysville, KY, advertis-
ed for by a Mr.. Lee. In his adver-
tisement MIR. Lee said that Fanny,
the mother OF four children, " was as
white as most white women, with
straight light hair" Well might
Mr.. Lee say so. Fanny is as white
as any woman that we have ever
seen. She has with her three chill
dren, the eldest about eight years Of
age, the youngest about six months
old. She has been on her Journey
four months, her child having been
two months old when she left Mays
vile. When was walking with her
to the steamboat, which was to con-
vey her to Canada, l thought that if
had been in Illinois | might have
been indicted for breaking the laws
ofthat State, or if had been in Phil
adelphia, might have been mobbed
for walking with white woman.-
Mr.. Lee need not trouble himself
about Fanny, for she has passed
through the hands of the Buffalo Wig
lance Committee, and when slave
falls into the hands ofthat committee,
he is safe from the slave hunter.--

ACCIDENT AND WONDERFUL FecAPE.
Yesterday (trday) afternoon, the canal
bridge half way between this city and
Whilestown fell with two teams which
were crossing it. One was tobacconist's
team in which was Mr. Asa Montgomery
and friend. The olher was carriage
in which were gentleman and two la
dies and a child, whose names we have
not ascertained. The whole were pre-
ciptated into the canal into the midst of
he ruins ofthe bridge. Mr.. Montgomery
and his friend and the o!her gentleman,
ladies and child were all rescued though
all OF them more or less injured.
A line coming down had barely cleared
her stern from under the bridge and the af
ternoon packet for Syracuse, with a full
load, was just going under. The bridge
fell not more than three feet from the bow
of the packet, so that the bow struck the
bridge almost simultaneously with its fall
into the water. The decks and cabins of

Capital Punishment.

The following is a strong argu-
ment against the diabolical system
Of capital punishment The Leeds
(Eng.) Times mentions the circum-
stances Of the execution Of four men,
James Ashcroft, David Ashcroft,
James Ashcroft, Jr. and William
Holden at Lancaster. They were
executed in 1917, charged and con-
victed, on circumstantial evidence of
the murder of two female servants
Of Mr. Little wood, at Pendleton.-
A few days ago, John Holden, an
old man, and uncle of one Of the
men executed, confessed himself on his
death bed, tile perpet1utor Of The deed !
The following tragical circumstances
occurred at the trial and execution.
1t appears that all the prisoners were
without counsel, & that upon receiv-
ing sentence of death, each of them
protested to the court his innocence.
James Ashcroft, Sem, exclaimed,
- This is numbering us in cold
blood. God will reveal this injustice.
| pray earnestly that he would now
send two angels to declare upon that
table who committed this murder
We are all innocent: l will declare
it so to the last David Ashcroft in
voked God, and declared his inno-
cence in the same manner. James
Ashcroft, the younger, said, IF |
must suffer for crime never COM
mitted, | implore your honor to look
IN mercy upon my poor wife and
children (Here the wife being in
court, shrieked out, fainting.) VIM.
Holden said, pointing upward,-
There's God yonder who knows
that we ale innocent, and who will
make amends for this These ex-
CARNATIONS being stopped by the
Judge, sentence of death was passed
upon them all at the conclusion of
which, David Ashcroft told the
Judge that he hoped God would not
allow the injustice done to them to
be always unknown and James
Jr., said, he would meet
a higher Judge with a conscience
clear of this guilt At the place Of
on the following Monday,
the crowd assembled was imme nse,
and there upon the scaffold, the con-
victs renewed their protes tations of in
nocen ce. David Ashcroft said, Il
am glad to see so many persons
looking on, as | testify to them we
are ignorant of this crime. I do
protest to you all, before God, as l
am now going, l trust to glory, I
would not for the whole world die
with a lie in my mouth At this
period they all joined in singing four
lines of hymn, which they had not
quite finished when they were
launched into eternity.
These awful facts, we should
hink, ought Of themselves to be suf-
icient to bring about the abolition of
capital puni shment. The humane
maxim ofthe law is, better that ninety
and nine guilty men escape, than
hat one innocent man should suffer.
Better, far better, say we, that a mil
ion of the vilest criminals should
90 unwhipt Of JUSTICE than that
any human being should be con-
1emned to the torture which agoniz-
ed the bosoms ofthese poor English
men. Theirs was the hardest fate
that mortals can suffer, and should

nan tribunals.

found his companions dead with cold
by his side. Some years ago, he and
above a hundred and thirty others
left England for active service abroad:
of those only five are living and he

lives to having abstained from strong
drink. After relating this anecdole
in a public meeting, gentleman who
had been an officer in the East India
Company's service, addressed the

MATRIMONIAL ANECDOTE,

came TO him to get married. After the

man, "that left it to the decision of the
bridegroom. Some give me ten dollars,
some five, some three, some two, some
one, and some only quarter ola dollar"
"a quarter. eh ~ said the bridegroom,
"well that's as reasonable as a body could

He took out his pockei-book, there was
no money there. he fumbled in all his
