p ms PAPER.

- -
The following ahecdote of the late
Mr.. Swain, from the Philadelphia Press
is not without its moral in other Iati-
tudes than Pennsylvania
Many years ago Mr.. Swain, then edi-
tor Of the Public Ledger, was hailed al
the corner Of Eighteenth and Chestnut
streets by avery excited individual, who
informed him in most emphatic terms,
81 have stopped your paper sir" and
proceeded to explain the why and
wherefore, all the time ge~sticulating
wildly. "My gracious sir you don't say
so! Come with me to the Office and seeii
we can't remedy the matter. It grieves
me that any n should stop my paper.''
Down Chestnut to Third the two pro-
ceeded. Arriving at the Office, Mr..
Swain said: "Why, my dear sir, every
thingseems to be going on here as usu-
al; though you had stopped my pa
per-" Then and there the excited gem
tleman, who the long walk by the way
had partly cooled, said that he had
stopped taking his one copy of the
Ledger. Mr.. Swain was profuse in his
apologies for having misunderstood the
meaning of his late subscribers words
and regretted that he had given him
the tramp from Eighteenth street to
Third, down Chestnut. The gentleman
went on his way home, a wiser if not a
better man, marveling at the stu
pidity of editors in general and of Mr..
Swain in particular. Before he left,
however, he ordered that the Ledger he
still sent to his address.

left of all those harmonious traces that
were themes for the admiration of eY-

brick and mortar, the elegant stone

HUGE DoG STORY.


They have a house in New Orleans.
according the the Picqyltge, which ii
haunted with dogs. A WeIl-knoWn and
respectable citizen named Taylor recen-
Nv rented this house, despite Is ghostly
reputation, and determined to prove
the error of the common report. Pro
viding himself with light and lunch
aud newspapers, he made his solitary
night snCampment in one of its rooms
and, having fallen asleep, was sudden
" awakened at midnight by the fierce
barking of dog. ~Springing to his
to see a huge blue dog, larger than the
st. Bernard species, standing in the
room and barking at him furiously.-
The walls were covered with shadows
of dogs and ghostly CANNES sven walk
ed around on ceilings; and as they pass
ed along a shadowy footprint would be
left for a moment or the wall or floor.
All of a sudden, Mr.. Taylor says, an
other gigantic dog, waving a fearful
looking caudal appendage, sprung into
the room a. if in answer to the angry
challenges of b first one, and they at
once engaged in fight. The combat
was furious. Blood would fly from
their mouths, and no sooner had it
touched the floor than the drops would
turn into full-Rrowndog, who mingled
IN the strife. BY this time the whole
house resounded Withthe fierce barking
OF the angry brutes. They rushed
through the halls, up the staircases and
into the rooms overhead. They even
descended the chimneys, and finally
forming themselves into q battalion in
the hall, like men at drill, marched IN
double file through the front door and
disappeared in the street," Such q
tale as the foregoing was perhaps
never before told, and as Mr.. Taylor is
said to be an old and Well-known etti-
it is to be presumed that the
house In question may be ftIy said
like some OF its former human tenants
perhaps-to have "goneto the dogs."-
