COMMODORE sCUDDER's DOG.

Commodore Scudder, of the United States
Navy, had doubie-nosed pointer dog, of which
he Dragged good deal, and for which he
would have refused larger sum than was ev-
er offered for dog since the creation Of the
world. But he is dead nOw-not Commodore
Scudder, but the dog. Like the famous hound
Gelert, he died martyr to his high sense of
honor. The Commodore told me the story:
Il went out hunting partridges one day and
took the dog along. We hadn't much luck at
first, but after while Buster-that was the
dogs name-stood and pointed at q cOvey OF
the finest birds ever saw in all my born days.
They were squatting down in the low grass, a
dozen yards off, in plain sight, and determin.
ed to fire at them as they lay. lifted my gun,
took deliberate aim, and would have killed a
dozen at least: but before I could pull the trig-
ger courier dashed up with dispatch which
he said required immediate attention.
81 reserved my fire and read the dispatch.
1t was an order from the Navy Department to
proceed, without moments delay, to Phila-
delphia, to take command of squadron which
was about to sail to the Mediterranean. was
So much excited you understand, that l laid
down my gun right on the spot, and went off,
leaving Buster there pointing at those birds
like they were North stars, and he was mari
ner's compass, so to speak l forgot all about
him; but he was faithful dog, Buster was
and, like Casabanca he wouldn't have left even
a burning ship without my orders
"Well [ went to the Mediterranean, and
cruised around for three years, having first
rate time. When / returned, at the end of the
cruise, it occurred to me, as | stepped ashore
in Philadelphia, to 60 out and see how things
were at the place where went cunning John
and went-and the first thing came across
was my gun, lying there with the barrel COW
cred with rust and broken clean off the rotten
stock But what was my surprise, on going 9
few PAGES further, to find the skeleton of that
heroic, doube-nosed pointer, standing up. just
where had left the dog three years before
He had never budged an inch, Mr.. Quill-no
solitary inch, that double-nosed pointer dog
hadn't; but he stood there and pointed to those
birds, until he had perished right in his tracks
Well, sir, after shedding tear over my de
parted friend, I went few yards ahead and
there were the skeletons of those partrdges
| regard this as the most extraordinary clrcum
stance that ever came under my observation
but if any man presumes to doubt my word
I'll shoot him on the spot-I will, by George! !
1t was queer, that story of Scudders abou
his dog, but it would hardly be safe to say jus
what think about it.

THE CENSUS OF 1870.

In view of the arrival of the time for taking
the census, the following questions have been
collected together by some studiOus individuals
in such matters, as probably containing the
list of the inquiries that will be made: sig
How old are you! .4t u. 8ssr
Where were you born, and were you present
on the occasion of your birth? ea Y t.s
Were you ever candidate for office, and it
so how many timesg
Are you married person, and how do you
like the institution?
Have you any children, how many, and what
is q certain remedy for the snuffles9
Do YOU grow any corn if SO, how much do
you consume in the form of whiskey, and how
much do you waste in making breadg
What's your opinion of lager beer and pref
zels?
How many glasses can you drink, and with
what effect?
What is your opinion of oats-a very popu-
lar provender for man and beast?
What is the cash value of one dollar bill
Were YOUR father and mother both white
men?
Can you stand on your head, and how long!
If good while, how much longer if necessary?
If half an acre of ground will yield one
hundred bushels of rutabagas. how many glass
es of lager will it require man to draw bee
line?
| If your family eats ham in three days,
how long will it take them to eat couple OF
hammers?
Will you lend me five dollars?
What is your opinion of young pups before
they get their eyes open!
There are number of other questions to be
answered, which we omit here, from the fact
that they will at once suggest themselves to the
Marshals, just as soon as they think OF them.1

No TAX THEORY.-The Sacramento Union
of July 10Th, in an article upon the income
tax, referring to the fact of the House having
concurred in the Senate amendment to the law
reducing the rate to 24 per cent on all incomes
over 81, 1000. uses the following language: "The
Senate having carried its main point can afford
to recede from the two-years extension clause;
and the President, who has no tax theory OF
his own, will sign the BILL" We are inclined
to think that Grant has some " tax theory of
his own" He taxes his friends to consider
able extent in the nature of subscriptions to
houses horses, insurance policies, etc, for pre-
sentation to his Excelleney. He taxes the pa
tience of not only the people generally, but OF
the masses of his own party, by his weak and
imbecile administration of public affairs. He
taxed the ingenuity of the leaders of his party
to cover up and conceal his completely in last
years gold gambling operations, to say nothing
of the whitewash required in the report OF the
investigating committee on the San Domingo
Radical speculation. In fact, Mr. Grant is not
only heavy tax on his party, but his Admins
tration is taxing the people to point almost
beyond endurance. While his taxing theory
may not tend to the good of the country it un'
ioubtedly results pecuniariy to the benefit of
Mr.. Un Scrupuous Grant

BALLooNING.-The most remarkable bal
loon ascension on record was made In loU4, by
Blot and Gay Lussac, in Paris. BY this enter
prise they endowed science with series OF
new and important facts, questionable before
that time, as they carried with them u COM
plete set of suitable apparatus, and, moreover,
an unsurpassed knowledge of observation and
experiment. They ascended to height of
$4,000 feet, and observed that at 5000 to 5000
feet the animals they had taken with them, IN
order to observe the effect of the rarefed air
and cold upon them, did not appear to suffer
any inconvenience. In the meantime, the
pulses of the two experimenters were much
accelerated; that of Gay-Lussac, otherwise
always slow, 60 beats per minute, was ~; and
that of Blot, naturally rapid, 79 beats per min
ute, was Ill. At height of 1000 feet, a
pigeon was liberated; it dropped down whlrl-
| ING through the air as if it had been stone.
The air was too thin, too much raretied, to en-
able it to fly.
Three weeks later, Gay-Lussac went up
alone, and attained height OF 23,oUO feet'
| four and one-sixth miles, or 1000 feet higher
than the top of Chimborazo mountain. The
barometer was only 13 inches high, the ther-
mometer 18 degrees Fahrenheit below the
freezing point, while at the surface OF the
ground it was 80 degrees. He left the court
ward Of the Conserratoire des Arts ct Meters,
ir Paris, and, after an aerial voyage of six
hours descended near Rouen, 100 miles DIS
tant. The result of this ascension on Gay
Lussac's health was very injurious, partially by
the want of air for respiration, combined with
sudden cold, but chiefly by the absence OF the
accustomed pressure. At the extreme height
of 90, 900 feet, his face and neck were swollen
enormously, his eyes protruded from his head,
blood ran from his eye-lids, nose, and ears, and
also from his lungs, by vomiting; in short. his
system received shock from which he never
fully recovered the rest of his life.

THE PIcKLED WATCH.

The other day we met Virgins, and
he had silver cased watch-hunting
case at that. We had known Wiggins
five and twenty years, and never be-
fore knew him to carry a watch. We
asked him where he got it. He gave
us nod, a leer, and said he would
tell us.
s.Last fall" he commenced, "I
killed the old brindle COW, and put the
best part of her in the beef barrel
She was fat, and the beef was nice,
and I had nigh unto full barrel. I
didn't want to make it very salty, SO /
set it out in the shed, where the frost
might touch it, and keep it, and you'd
better believe it made good eating.
Gone day my wife says to me -
Wiggins, pears to me our beef is 60
ing very fast. I went and looked,
and sure enough it was going -lather
faster than / thought it ought. 1--WE
noticed it lowering unaccountably
this long time, said my wife. Some
bodyis stealing it. Why don't you
set trap?
But my neighbors were all good
hearted kind of folks. though one or
two of 'em be just inclined to poke
around where might they didn't be-
long, and didn't want to hurt 'em.-
concluded, however, that it would
be best to put the barrel, with what
little beef was left down into the eel
lar, and did it. Well, when the beef
was all used up, and I went to clean
cut the barrel I found this watch in
the pickle. It looked to me like Tom
Sherman's watch. Tom had worked
for me considerably, and 1 had seen
him have the watch, or one much like
it. When I saw Tom l showed him
the watch, and he said right off it was
his.
How did you lose it ?" said l.
| carried it in my pocket with
out chain, and I must have
dropped it out when I was stopping,n
said he.
Well" said I, /" then you must
have been STOPPING over my beef bar
rel, for I found it in the pickle!"
With that Tom looked kind of
sheepish and ! guess he saw the twin
kle in my eye."
Let me look at that watch again..
said he.
He looked at it a little while and
then handed it to me.
"On the whole, Mr.. Wiggins,n said
he, 81 guess it amt my watch, after
all. 1t must belong to somebody
else"
"And with that he walked off.
"I carried the watch to the ieweler.
and he found that the cases had shut
SO that the work hadn't been picked |
bit, and for dollar he cleaned it up |
in good shape, and set it running
It's first rate time-keeper. and I
guess whoever took my beef paid all
it was worth"

sroDERN YOUNG LADY OF FASHION,

She lounges all day in the parlor,
And likes to be daintily fed,
While mamma is down in the kitchen,
And papa is toiling for bread.
She wears the most exquisite raiment
That ever was purchased or sold.
Displaying the costiiest laces.
And cleaning with jewels of gold.
Her parents strive hard to maintain her
In elegant indoience-well.
They wear themselves out for their darling
Because she's the family belle.
She plays the piano ''divinely,"
And screeches from morning till night,
With toes peeping out of her stockings,
And hair in disorderly plight.
Except when there's company coming
Vain fiirts or male coxcombs and then
She hides her improYident habits,
And charms the coarse" creatures-tht
men.
A slattern at home she's creature
Quite often not fit to be seen;
Abroad, like butterfly gaudy
Il Assuming the airs of a queen
Averse to sweet womanly duty,
No labor her fingers shall soil,
She sets herself up for beauty,
And scorns ali the children of toll.
Quite useless. forever exactfng
The service of others to feed
Her vanity paltry and selfish
With gratitude not in her creed.
In silks hear her gracefully rustic
('Twas paid for by others, of course, J
She wears preponderous hustle,
And hair from the tail of horse
Her limbs are indebted to sawdust-
Slim shanks meath the same may be found
Her bust is crammed full of cotton
To make 1t look heaving and round.
Complexion and eyebrows are clever,
And nature resemble-in part,
Her teeth are nice movable fixtures,
The very perfection of art

And utters opinions, by rule;
Exhibiting dubious graccs.

She practices soft impositions,
And stufs herself up with conceit;
We worship the sex-but must call her
A feminine Ioafer and "beat."
Her talk is the yeriest twaddle
That ever assaulted tn ear
She never can mention q rival
Without a perceptible sneer
Her nose she's forever upturning
At others, in insolent scorn;
With hate she is constantly burning
To plant in some bosom thorn.
That very magnificent bonnet,
Was earned by her mother who scrubs;
The beautiful roses upon it
Grew out of a washwoman's tub.
Her father that velvet cloak bought her
By cheating patron in trade,
Committing sin for his daughter,
s That she might be richly arrayed.
She speaks of patrician connections,
And of her own noble descent
Her grandfather being cobbler
Kicked out for non-payment of rent
Her grandmother, bless the old ladyl

She always took snuff from he pocket,
Till in the town poor house she died.

REvENGE.-To no one individual in
Europe, perhaps, has the whirligig of
time brought a more complete revenge
than to Victor Hugo. That author
politician has ever been among the
most implacable of foes of Louis Ma
poleon. His inyectives against the
late Emperor are among his best liter
ary efforts. Pardoned some time ago
he disdained to accept the forgiveness
of the ruler he hated, and to-day,
Victor Hugo walks the streets of
Paris, his eyes looking on the scars
and blotches that mark the places
where the arms and ciphers of the de-
posed Emperor were displayed for SO
many years-the author of Napoleon
the little" an honored guest in Paris,
and the Third Napoleon the prisoner
of King William at Cassel. Our gen.
Grafton has witnessed many strange
political v1cissitudes but none more
rem arkable than this.
