A CAPITAL DETECTIvE.-'No dogs ad

bIage, as young man and his dog appeared
at the entrance You must leave him be-
hind if you go in.
every well, said the young man, 'you
must be about here Prince, till l come back,
and he Joined the crowd within. By-and-
by the young man wished to refer to his
watch, when, behold the chain had been
snappedinto, and the valuable time-piece was
gone. He considered the case a moment,
and then sudden thought flashed through
his mind. So, stepping out whispered the
fact to the porter, and gained permission to
take the dog in minute or two.
Look here, Prince, you knowing dog, my
watch is stolen," and he showed him the
empty pocket, and the cut chain. ''Do you
understand, oldfellow? In there, sir, is the
thief You find it, my good doggie, and I'll
get you a famous treat. You understand

Prince wagged his head and tail, and gave
his master wonderful knowing look and
then the two stole quietly into the palace.
Quietly this dumb detective glided around
among the people, smelling aw"y at this ones 5
coat and that ones chain, until at last he
set his teeth firmly into the skirt of gen
teel looking man, and could not be shaken
off. The young man quietly made known
the case to the bystanders, who gathered
around him, and had the thief pocket duly
| searched. Six other watches were found
upon him, which he had gathered up in the
course of the morning, and which their right
full owners were very glad to get their hands
on. Prince selected his masters property in
a twinkling as that was all he cared for, and
gave it to him joyfully. 1t would have ia
ken very keen policeman to do the work so
neatly and all agreed that hemerited as good
dinner as a dog could have. A good beef
bone and a bowl of milk, however abundant
" satisfied all his wants, and then he was
just as ready to do the same favor again.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RADICAL
| CONGRESSMAN AND THE BOYS IN Blue
''He that provideth not for his own house
hold is worse than an infdel," So thought
| the Radical Congress when it voted its mem
bers $4,000 extra pay, and appriated the
money to pay it. 1t took good care to do
the latter part 1t found time enough for
that
They voted the, 'boys in blue" some $50,
and some 800 extra bounty pay, but hadn'
time, or was too careless, to make the neces-
sary appropriation to pay it.
The consequence Is, that the Congressman
got their extra pay, while the boys in blue
don't get theirs, but will have to wait until
! Congress again meets and makes the neces-
sary appropriation. As the old cat with her
mouth over the cream pan saidto the kittens:
''Wait, honeys, your turn will come by and
by" sosay the Radicalsto the boysin blue. u
LOOK ON THIS PICTURE, THEN ON THAT
This Radical Congress voted the black sol
der $500 forextra bounty, and appropriated
the money TO pay it.
1t also voted the white soldier $50 in som,
cases, in others 500 extra bounty, but made
noappropriation to pay it.
The black soldiers are drawing their s30(
extra bounty. The white soldiers must wal
until Congress can be induced to make an ap
preparation for them. =.
When the black was concerned, the RadI
cal Congress made no mistake. 1t was only
when the white needed its services that Il
was careless, Indifferent, or hadn't time.
RS~ 1t is related of an elderly dandy, who
was more noted for running into debt thar
for paying his tradesmen, that ne always
made an exception in favor of his wlg,maker
