to immediate themselves, as the Cretans
of Arkadioti did, rather than surren-
der as prisoners of war, must be pos
sessed of nobler instincts than mere
courage, and there are episodes in Gre
tan history which justify the belief
that under a good government, and by
judicious training, they would be found
capable of wiping off every stigma that
has been cast upon them. During the
| four centuries that Crete was a prov
ince of the Venetian Republic, the
Cretans were more prosperous than
any other people inhabiting the islands
of the Grecian Archipelago. They
had populous cities and thriving COM
merce with the ports of the Mediter-
ranean, and if the spirit of wild ad-
venture sometimes led them to under
take enterprises among the islands
which smacked strongly of what in
these days weshould call piracy, it was
common failing of the age in which
they lived, when every petty chief
made inroads upon the possessions of
his weaker neie hbor.
But the point of interest just now is
not so much what the Cretans once
were, as what effect the present insur-
rection may have in reviving that
most perpleXing of all questions-the
question of Turkish dominion in Eu-
rope. Russia, though often baffied in
her designs, still covets as ardently as
ever the possession of Constantinople
and the control of the Bosphorus !;
whilst the little Kingdom of Greece,
in its desire to extend its territory, is
so openly encouraging the insurgents
as to have provoked strong remon-
STRANGE from the Turkish Government.
Other elements, too, are at work. The
red shirts of the Garibaldians are said
to have been seen in the streets of Ath-
ems, and several detachments of these
"Free Lances" are reported to have al
ready crossed over to Crete. Victor
Hugo, in response to an appeal from
Athens, likewise encourages the Gre
tans to persevere. In strong, nervous,
melo-dramatic language he tells them
that "the antique tyrannies" are suf-
fering shipwreck everywhere. He
adds, what others on this side of the
water might do we'll to believe and
profit by, that "an insurrection sup
pressed is not principle destroyed" F"
and that although Right may be sub
merged for a season, and the waves of
events pass over it, in due time it will
again appear on the surface to vex the

ONE OF DODGE's STORIES.

DR.. Lord, formerly of Boston, has
been a resident Of the West for about
six years. During his first year, he
was extensively engaged in buying
wool, and. on one occasion, becoming a
little bewildered with the multiplicity
of crooked roads over the broad prai-
ries, he rode up to a small cabin, enclo-
sed in clump of locust trees, and hail
ed white-headed boy, perched on the
top Of hen-coop, with
"Hallo, boyw
81 reckon you're stranger!" was
the response.
"Look here sonny"
'I amt your sonny"
"No, you amt my sonny, but you'll
Jump down and come here, and I'll give
you dime."
The boy sprang as if alighting from
wasp's nest, and coming up to the
stranger, exclaimed: Well, old hoss,
what is it ?'
81 have lost my way, and don't know
where 1 am. Can't you tell me?"
eyes. You aresitting on that hoss."
Mr.. Lord laughed at the boys wit
and handed him the dime.
The boy took the money and looked
upon it with mingled feelings of won
der and delight, and said:
81 reckon you must have power of
money"
"Why so?''
"Cause you slather it away so.'
"What's your fathers name ?" in
quired Mr.. Lord.
"Bill Jenks," was the reply.
"Ah, yes. know him." exclaimed
Mr.. Lord. "He grows wool, don't hep"
"No, but his sheep duz."
s'If you knew me, my lad, you would
be more respectful in your replies. l
am friend of your father. My name
is Lord"
''Oh, yesr exclaimed the astonished
and delighted lad. 81 have heard pap
read about you in the Bible, "and start
ing for the house on a dead run, he
bawled out at the top of his voice,
'Mother, mother, the Lord is out here
on horseback, and has lost his way"

A. TSEETL HGG.

We yesterday made the acquaintance
of Jack, a dog that has been raised by
The en- mployes of the street railways,
and thoroughly educated TO the busi-
ness. He is ICw little more than two
years old, and was 50 unfortunate as 10
ose his parents at a very tender age
or they probably lost him, as he was
,aken at the stables on Rowan street,
d lost and helpless pup. He grew, un-
der the kind treatment of the boys, to
his present size. and is now a full
grown cur-the friend of every officer,
conductor, and driver, on the various
roads, and no one among the hundreds
of men who know him will ever stand
back and refuse assistance when Jack
is engaged in the performance of his
duties and in difficulty. Jack is not
particularly partial to the toys of the
city company, but shares his time and
services with all the roads. He rides
upon the cars, having the privilege of
Jhe entire city. and makes it his duty
TO keep the track clear when cows,
hogs, and vehicles are too slow in get
ting away.
The conductors call Jack "spotter,"
one who detects dishonesty on the part
1f conductors, on the sly, as he fire.
quently spends whole day riding on
one route, jumping from one car to an
)ther while both cars are in motion-a
feat that would be difficult for any one
but himself, without danger. His OBJ
,ect in doing this is evidently to look
after the interests of the road.
Jack lives high, "boarding round"
among his numerous friends, who
share with him as they would their
best friend. He knows at what time
and place to meetthe conductor or dri-
yer with whom he chooses to dine. He
is to be formally presented with tok-
en- of respect in the shape of a hand
some collar, on Christmas, bearing the
inscription, "From the Central Passen-
ger Railway Company. l am rail-
road dog. Whose dog are you?"
Weare sorry to state that Jacks pride
was shamefully humbled yesterday.
Wolf, stable. dog, on duty at the
Fourth street stables, came TO town yes
terday, which he seldom Goes, except
on important business, and had pleas
ant interview with Jack, after which
he took his place on the cars to return.
Jack objected to this, claiming that the
cars were not for the accommodation
Of dogs, which objection greatly insult
ed Wolf, and taking Jack carefully by
the surplus of the neck, threw him in
the gutter, where he held him until he
impaired to his little rival some whole
some advice, to the purport that he had
better mind his own business and let
other dogs business alone.-LouiSuille

A POSITIVE WITNESS.

1t is Of Warren, the author of Ten
Thousand a Year, that this sharp prac-
tice in the examination of man ac-
cused of swearing falsely in will case
is recorded. 1t shows great dramatic
power unconsciously exhibited in his
daily business.
The prisoner being arraigned, and
the formalities gone through with, the
prosecutor, placing his thumb over the
seal, held up the will and demanded OF
the prisoner if he had seen the testator
sign that instrument, to which he
promptly answered he had.
"And did you sign it at his request
as subscribing witness?"
81 did"
"Was it sealed with red0r black wax ?''
"With red wax"
"Did you see him seal it with red
wax p, r----
81 did,"
"Where was the testator when he
signed and sealed this will?"
"In his bed"
"Pray, how long piece of wax did
he use ?"
"About three or four inches long"
"Who gave the testator this piece of
wax 2"
81 did"
"Where did you get it?"
"From the drawer of his desk"
Chow did he light that piece of
wax?"
"With candle"
"Where did that piece of candle
come from ?"
'I got it out of the cupboard of his
room."
"How long was that piece of candle?"
"Perhaps four or five inches long"
"Who lit that piece of candle?"
81 lit it,"
"What with?"
"With a match"
"Where did you get that match ?"
"On the mantle-shelf in the roOm."
Here Warren paused, and fixing his
large, deep-blue eyes on the prisoner,
he held the will up above his head, his
thumb still resting upon the seal, and
said in solemn and measured tone:
"Now, sir, upon your solemn oath,
you saw the testator sign that will (;
he signed it in his bed; at his request
you signed it as subscribing witness
you saw him seal it; it was with red
wax he sealed; a piece, two or three
inches long; he lit that wax with a
piece of candle which you procured
for him from a cupboard you lit that
candle by a match which you found on
the mantle-shelf?"
~ did"
"Once more, sir, upon your solemn
oath, you did9"

Stand where the glaciers freeze and frown,
Where Alpine torrents flash and foam,
Or watch the loving sun go down
Behind the purple hills of Rome,
Leaving twilight half divine,

Slumber may kiss thy dropping lids
Amid the mazes of the Nile;
The shadow of the pyramids
May cool thy feet; yet all the while,
Though storms may beat, stars may shine,

Where rise the mosques and minarets,
Where every breath brings fowery balms,
Where souls forget their dark regrets
Beneath the strange mysterious palms,
Where the banana builds the shrine

In one exultant blossom gush,
