A Dog Blowing Mans Brains Out.
The Cincinnati Commercial tells the
following:
S. j. John, furniture dealer, 80 East
Fourth Street, residing near College
Hill, arose, and opening the front door,
and seeing hawk flying about the barn,
he called servant girl, the only person
about the house to bring him his gun,
which she did. Having asked her if it
was loaded, she said she thought not,
when he requested her TO go to his room,
and get box of percussion caps. Dur
ing the girls absence, he raised the ham,
mer of the gun and was about to blow
in the barrel, when favorite dog came
bounding towards Mr.. j., his paws stri-
king the trigger just as the weapon was
raised to his face. The gun which was
loaded, with cap on the tube, was dis
charged, the shot tearing off portion of
his skull and dashing out his brains
The girl screamed and large numbers Of
persons came rushing to the spot. The
unfortunate man lay dead upon the floor
his head and shoulders being across the
threshold the blood was streaming
from his mangled face and head, and
clotted masses of brain were dripping in
splotches from the ceiling to the floor

AN INTERESTING RELIC.-Mr. II. l..

ted tsIs an original letter from General
George Washington. It is dated Phila-
delphia, Sept. Sth. 1898, and is directed
70 his nephew, Howell Lewis, ESQ.,
grandfather of Mr.. Lowell. Mr.. Lewis
appears to have occupied the position of
agent or general superintendent of Cen
efal Washington's affairs at Mt. Vernon,
and the letter before us is therefore in
reference to the affairs of the plantation !;
but even in this light, it evinces in a
marked degree that close and concise
business habit so characteristic Of its att
thor,-a trait Of character so remarkably
displayed by General Washington in his
settlement with Government at the close
of the Revolution-a manner of report
ing to headquarters apparently wholly
unknown by publicsoficials of the pre-
sent day.-As specimen of correct
composition, this letter will bear the
closest scrutiny.-Petulxma Journal.

DIFFERENCE IN WIvEs.-Two weeks
since we were riding in the cars, when a
gentleman came and spoke to a lady di
rectly front of us, who was seated be-
side sickly man, whom we thought was
her husband. The conversation turned
upon the health Of her companion, who
was evidently consumptive.
"Last winter" said she, Il went to
Kansas with him. The winter before
we spent in Florida ; and now we are
thinking of removing to Wisconsin or
Minnesota, for the benefit of his health" !"
The gentleman expressed some
thoughts relative to her hardships in thus
going away from her home and friends,
and travelling so much abroad.
ooh ~ she replied, 81 do not mind
that at all if he can only regain his
health. l like New England better than
any other part of the country, for it is
home but l am willing to live any
where for his sake"
Her husband made no reply as he
heard these words, but volumes were IN
his eyes. The incident. however, did
not particularly impress us until we
stopped at a station about half hour
afterwards. Then friend entered the
car and took seat by our side. He was
troubled with a bronchial and lung diff
Guilty, of some years standing. In course
of conversation we recommended resi-
dence in certain Western State, to
which he-replied, in substance
81 should have been there three
months ago, if my wife had been willing
to go. But all her friends are here in
Massachusetts, aud no consideration
could induce her to leave for residence
SO far away"
We looked at once at the strange wo-
man. whose conversation we cited. "No-
BILE wife," we said, "One of thousand,
doubtless. in this spirit of self-denial for
her husbands sake" There is certain
ly great difference between those two
wives.-H Happy Home.

RULES FOR SELF GovEssMENr.-The
"prudent old gentleman" as said, turns
out to be no other than the yeritable
London Punch himself, who in his match
less merriment and jocose style, layeth
down his prudent directions as follows;
Always sit next to the carver, if you
can, at dinner.
Ask no woman her age.
Be civil to all your uncles and aunts.
Never joke with a policeman. q ~
Takes no notes or gold with you to a
fancy bazaar-nothing but, silver.
Your oldest hat OF course, for an even
ing party.
Don't play chess with widow.
Never contradict man who shutters.
Make friends with the steward on board
a steamer; there's no knowing how soon
you may be placed in his power.
Keep your own secrets. Tell no hu-
man being you deye your whiskers:
Write not one more letter than you can
help. The man who keeps up large
correspondence is martyr tied. not TO
the stake, but to the post.
Wind up your conduct, like your
watch. once day, examining minutely
whether you are fast or .'slow."5
