United States Navy writes to a
friend in this city from Valpa-
raise, South America, and tells, the,
following amusing " dog story" He
says it is true, as he witnessed the
dogs performances himself; in fact,
that Carlo is well-known character,
and great favorite with all frequent
ers of the Mole Z of that most beau
tiful city.
; Carlo, it seems, makes his living in
that very questionable way called beg
'ging. He will approach a person, and
by signs that he knows how to render
perfectly ineligible will give, him to
understand that he expects a dona-
ton. The bright, pleading intelli-
gence of his eyes, the beseecning wag
of his tail, are perfectly irresistible;
and so, getting his small coin, which
he takes in his teeth, away he goes for
the market Carlo is somewhat of an
epicure, for he varies his dinner ac-
cording to his own peculiar taste.
Sometimes it is meat, again it is
pastry, and then cake. He goes, in a
very business-like way, from stall to
stall, or looks gravely into each bas-
ket, until he finds the sought-for
dainty, when the bargain is quickly
closed, and the dog is off to enjoy his
meal in some quiet spot. Sometimes
they attempt to cheat his dogship,
when in an instant the cake-stand or
fruit-table is overturned, and Don
Carlo running away for dear life. =.
At times the dog gets more money
than he has Immediate use for, when
he, with great forethought, buries the
surplus against rainy day, or per-
haps, with greater caution, for that
inevitable time when old age may
serve him, as it does his more ra-
tional 6 fellQao-creatures the bipeds,
by robbing and destroying those
Establishments peculiar to youth.
LOOKING FOR THE CHOLERA. =
Mayer Lange, Of Terre Haute, has
issued a proclamation enjoining the.
most scrupulous care upon the in
habitants of that beautiful city in re-
gard to cleanliness, diet, &c., in view
of the near approach OF cholera. We
do not know that any such precau-
tionary proclamation is necessary in
this city The people have had the
matter urged upon their attention
sufficiently, and we have no doubt
will use all necessary precautions to
save their own lives.
RECORDERS COURT. = Notwith-
standing our frequent animadver-
sions. the operations of the Record
er's Court do not suit u.s. There is a
lack of business and interest in that
institution that lily becomes a city of
the pretensions of Evansville. For
a. city Of $4,000 inhabitants, stu
ated on the river, at the end of
frst-class railroad and telegraph line,
the Recorders Court has become in
sipid and monotonous. No rows, no
fights, no mobs;. and the Democratic
party has become. SO diminutiye that
there is scarcely a : drunk any
more; and even the assaults and bat
teries that occur are of so trifing
character that nothing can be made
of them-not even officers fees, - -,
The Wood ease, which we expected
to have worked up, was nipped in the
bud by the prosecuting witness com
ing into court, paying the costs, and
withdrawing the complaint - wise,

Several complaints were filed
against citizens for leaving vehicles
in the street, in violation Of the ordi1
nances in such cases made and pro
vided.
One gentleman was charged $8 IS
for permitting Stops to be thrown into
the streets. ile@aaaea atffk 1rg 81
Miss B. and Mrs. G., two Of the
belligerant females who have figured
for some days past before Justices
and Recorder, appeared in Court, and
after brief recital Of their grievaaces,
His Honor, moved with compassion,

departed, Mrs. G. muttering to the
