night got up procession with an effigy of
Bill Bird the center Of attraction. They
marched up Main street, toward Treasure

this disrespect was owing to tue popular be-

Power of Imagination.

A wealthy lady had tickling in the
throat, and thought bristle of her tooth
brush had gone down and lodged in her
gullet. Her throat daily grew worse.
1t was badly inhamed, and she sent for the
family doctor. Heexamined it carefully,
and assured her that nothing was the
matter-it was nervous delusion, he
said. Still her throat troubled her, and
she became so much alarmed that she was
sure she should die. A friend suggested
she should call on DR.. Jones, young
man just commencing practice. She did
not at first like the idea, but finally as
sented, and DR.. Jones was called He
was person Of good address and polite
manners. He looked carefully at her
throat, asked several questions as to the
sensation at the seat Of the malady, and
finally announced that he could relieve
her in short time. On his second visit
he brought delicate pair of forceps,
in the teeth of which he had inserted a
brstle taken from an ordinary toothbrush.
The rest can be imagined. The lady
threw back her head torceps were care
fully introduced into her mouth, pick,
Il loud scream, and it was over; the young
physician, with a smiling face, was holding
up to the light and inspecting, with
lively curiosity, the extracted bristle
The patient was in raptures She imme-
diately recovered her health and spirits
and went about everywhere sounding the
praise Of her saviour" as she persisted
in calling the dexterous operator.

A Good Dog Story.

A CHELSEA man, once on a time,
IN before the running of horse cars,
came to Boston with his young wife, to
attend the opera. The lady was so fac
mated that she refused to leave until the
final drop of the curtain. Then, to the
CONSERVATION of both, it was found to be
so late as to raise serious doubt whether
the II o'clock Chelsea ferry boat could
not be reached, and that was the last trip
for the night. Nevertheless, they hurried
down Hanover street, but only to find, as
they feared that the boat had gone.
There was nothing left for them but to
foot it along commercial street to Char
lestown bridge, and through Charlestown,
over Chelsea bridge, a long dreary walk,
and one which at that time had a bad
reputation, by reason of some recent as
saults committed on belated pedestrians
The lady was greatly alarmed and very
unwillingly went forward. But as they
were hurrying along strange, savage
bull dog accosted them, much to the dis
gust and alarm Of the lady, who bid him
" be off, Of which, however, he took no
notice, but after smelling around finally.
made up his mind that they would answer
his purpose and that he would theirs, and
so deliberately trotted along after them.
When they reached the long and dreary
Chelsea bridge, nothing induced the lady
to venture forward but the presence of
this strange dog. AS they were nearing
the centre Of the bridge, a slouchy man
was discovered ahead leaning against the
rail of the bridge, who Immediately, on
discovering the approaching party, began
to move forward toward them, to the
special CONSERVATION of the trembling
woman. The gentleman spoke in an
undertone to the dog, who seemed to
understand the position and to- be master
of it, too, and left his place in front; and
as they approached the suspicious man,
greeted him with savage growl and ap-
peared ready for spring. The sight
and sound Of the dog acted as charm
on the man, and he SUNK away from the
path, and allowed the party to 90 along
unchallenged.
The trio reached home in safety; and
it is hardly necessary to say, the strange,
friendly dog was cordially welcomed into
the house and fed and lodged like prince
of dogs, as he had shown himself to be.
The next morning, the dog took his de-
parture, without leaving his name or
residence, and was never afterwards seen
by the persons whom he had so mysteri-
ously and effectively befriended.

however, is tresselated with beautiful

partly matter Of necessity. for the Ger

The Lost Found.

In town not a thousand miles from
the White Mountains lives an old farm
er by the name Of Tom p, who is famous
for nothing except the quantity Of dirt
that it is always seen upon his person.
The following story is told at his expense,
which may be true for aught | know to
the contrary. One time he was taken
sick, and doctor was called in, who pre-
scribed among other things that he should
have a warm bath. Tom rebelled at this,
but upon being told that his life depend
ed upon it, he consented, and tub of
water was at once prepared by his better
half, into which was thrown a liberal
quantity of soap. A rough towel was
then procured, and the old lady commen-
ced the task Of cleaning, for once, at least
her lord and master. After working
away for several minutes, her eyes were
attracted by something bright that shone
through the dirt, and she worked with re-
doubled energy. Another bright spot
was soon visible little way from the
other; and, with light in her eye that
told of her joy at the discovery, she ex-
claimed:
Daddy daddy! I'm glad the doc
tor told me to wash you; for as | live,
here are them trousers that you lost two
years ago. ! can tell 'em by the but

who robbed him To the purse and
guineas which were produced in Court,
he swore-as to the purse positively, and
as to the marked guineas, to the best Of
his belief, and that they were found in the
prisoners pocket.
The prisoners master Mr.. Brunell, de-
posed to the fact, as to sending the prison
er to change guinea, and Of his having
brought hi.1. back marked one in the
room Of the one he had given him un-
marked He also gave evidence as to
the finding Of the purse, and the nineteen
marked guincas in the prisoners pocket
And what consummated the proof, the
man to whom Mr.. Brunell paid the
guinea produced the same, and gave tes-
timony to his having taken it that night
in payment from the prisoners master.
Mr. BRUNEI gave evidence to his having
received Of the prisoner that guineawhich
he afterwards paid to this last witness
And the prosecutor, comparing it with
the other nineteen found in the pocket of
the prisoner swore to its being, to the
best Of his belief, one Of the twenty guineas
Of which he had been robbed by the
highwayman.
The Judge, on summing up the evi-
denco, remarked to the jury on all the
concuning circumstances against the pris-
oner; and the jury on this strong circum-
stantial evidence, without going out of
the court, brought in the prisoner guilty.
Jennings was executed some time after.
at Hull repeatedly declaring his innocence
to the very moment Of being turned off.
This happened in the year 1742.
Within Il twolyemonth after, 10 Bru-
nell, jennings master, was himself taken
up for Il robbery done on u guest in his
own house and the fact being proven on
his trial, he was convicted, and ordered
for execution. The approach of death
brought on repentance, and repentance
confession. Brunell not only acknowl-
edged the committing of many highway
robberies for some years past, but the
very one for which poor Jennings had
suffered.
The account he gave, was that he ar
rived at home by nearer way and swifter
riding, some time before the gentleman
got in who had been robbed. That he
found a man waiting to whom he owed a
little bill, and that not having quite
enough loose money in his pocket, he took
out Of the purse one guinea, from the
twenty he had just got possession of, to
make up the sum, which he paid, and the
man went away. Presently came in the
robbed gentleman, who, while Brunell
was gone in to the stables, and not know
ing Of his arrival, told his tale, as before
related, in the kitchen. The gentleman
had only just left the kitchen when Bru-
nell entered it and being there informed,
amongst other circumstances, of the
marked guineas, he was thunderstruck
Having paid one of them away, and not
daring to apply for it again, as the affair
Of the robbery and marked money would
soon become publicly known-detection,
disgrace and ruin appeared inevitable.
Turning in his mind every way to escape,
the thought Of accusing and sacrificing
poor Jennings at last struck him. The
rest the reader knows.

shall Bazaine himself Count Palikao In reply.
said that the dispatch was dated on tho 18th.
but the uproar Of the Deputies was 30 great a. tn

message. Deputy Keratry then proposed that nina
members of the Chambers be chosen. to form part Of
the Committee of Defense. The members of tho
party of the Left Immediately gave signs
Of approval, but the majority besi-

It is quite melancholy to witness the joy
(strong evidently, though prudently subdued)
of The Boston Weekly Courier (the ablest
" Democratic" paper in Massachusetts, over the
formation of a Third Party (ProhibitOry) in
that State. The Courier says
The Prohbitonsts deserve TO be congratulated upon
their rather late but still decisive separation Of them
selves from eete and hypocrca party organization
hope that they will stand TO their text and make
the very best show in their power in the political cam
pagn and at the polls The movement in its inception

has been manifested in Massachusetts, for long day
and, they have undoubtedly a very considerable
strength in the State If they only go they have be-
gun and able to force that fairly belongs

In other words old Mr.. Richie used to say-Sous

AS the Republican has always been the
only Prohibitory party in Massachusetts,; as
the Democrats have always been avowed
anti -Prohibitionists and as this movement can
only strengthen the Democrats" and possibly
weaken the Republicans, it is no wonder that
The Courier greets it with sardonic grin.
