From Mack, in the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
The Rejected Pup-The President Learns
that he lie Worth SIOO-IIe Orders Dent to
Interview a COlOred Citizen
Just as I was scratching my head for
subjects of epistolary discourse, friend
came along. with face full of smiles, end
said he, did you hear about that dog %
'What dog ?" said I, thinking that per
haps another pointer, or perchance ter
rier, had been sent to his Excellency.
''Why, that same dog that was sent to the
President from Cleveland" I replied
that the last heard OF the unfortunate
animal his fate hung suspended between
Barnum and Bologna, and it was O ques-
ton whether he should adorn museum
or be converted into sausagos. But my
friend Immediately said that L was mis-
taken.
It wGs very true that the President had
concluded at first not to receive that point
er, and had sent him summary from the
premises. But since then one of his con-
tidential advisers, who was an experienced
dog fancier, had called on him and set
forth the praises of this Cleveland contri-
button il glowing terms-told him he was
an imported animal, worth one hundred
dollars, and that 1t was O great mistake not
to accept him; furthermore. that the ex-
press charge of ten Collars was an error, all
the costs of transportation having been
prepaid in full.
The Presidents countenance was in
stantly overcharged with the gloom of a
conscious biunder; he saw at glance that
he had acted hastily III not receiving the
dog; and his first inquiry on recovering
his self-possessiOn was how he could re-
trieve that false step. The dog was now
the property Of colored citizen, and the
occupant of an inverted dry goods box in
back yard adjoining the White House
grounds. The President directed Dent to
proceed thither and negotiate, if possible,
for the surrender of the animal Oh pay
ment of costs.
But the colored citizen, who is said to
be very good judge of dogs, was not
easily persuaded into this arrangement,
and at last accounts he and Dent were dis
cussing the matter in a very animated and
excited style of language. But Dent was
evidently getting the worst of it.

Mr.. Harvey, the contractor, gave the order
for labor to cease Monday morning.
This is greatly to be deplored. We hope
something will be done to push the road

The objections to Revels, negro United
States Senator elect from Mississippi, says
the New York ForId, are that he is ineli-
gible, frau 1ulent person, and immoral.
These two latter objections we dismiss as un-
worthy Of consideration in this connection.
As to his ineigibility, if ineligible he is so
