A Cnrinna Dog Cnse,

The latest English journals bring a
long and interesting report of an action
for the possession Of a Newfoundland
dog, tried at Croydon, before Baron
Bramwell. The defendant who had ac-
tual possession of the dog, claimed that
he was seven years old, was lost in 1861,
and was recovered in April, 1871, hay
ing been found in railway refreshment
saloon, at Richmond. On the other
hand, the plaintiff, who was the widow of
the late Lord Justice Selwyn, contended
that the dog was only two years old, and
had been brought up from his infancy
by her and her personal attendants.
Both parties swore positively TO this
state of facts respectively, and appeared
to be firmly convinced of the justice Of
their cases. The witness, however, of
the greatest force and weight was the
dog. By order Of the judge, he was
brought into court, and although be
had been In the custody of the defend
ant since April, he evinced the most
lively signs of recognition Of apersonal
attendant of the plaintiff, who, it was
claimed, had had him under her care
when puppy. Baron Bramwell summed
up the merits Of both sides of the case
in a neat and suepinet manner, the i'm
mcnso Newfoundland dog, Of q jet
black color, with white chest and paws,
being seated at his side during the whole
time of the delivery Of the charge of
the court The jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff, being influenced by the un-
doubted testimony of the dumb animal

Youthful PrecOcity.

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Journal says:
With all its temptations and vices
Wall street sharpens ones wits as no
other school can. IL person has any
thing in him it is bound to show itself
there. A youngster of fourteen years
Of age has been employed until within q
few days by the firm of - & Co, in
the capacity of brokers' boy. Not long
since, while purchasing some peanuts at
stand nearly in front of the Stock
Exchange, he overheard three OF the
leading ring manipulators talking in q
low voice Concluding that something
ives up, he Immediately called one of
the hundred boot-blacks who are hang,
ing thereabouts at all hours, and seated
himself on the curbstone, close to the
spectators. He then pretended to be
conversing with the boot-black, while
the latter worked, and to be eating pea
nuts. All this time, however, he kept
his ears open and learned that the -
stock was TO be manipulated for rise
Having obtained this information he
crossed over the street to 49,, firm
for which he worked last spring, aud
called for the senior member. The lat
ter appeared, when the following colo
quy ensned:
Boy" Mr.. -, have got frst-rate
point, and will sell it to you"
Broker-(Turning away with a look Of
derision)-"Go away, boy; | cant stop
to talk with you"
Boy-"But you will miss il il you don't
buy this point. | know it is a big
thing"
Broker-"Well, what is it2"
The boy then proceeded to tell how he
had overheard the conversation Of the
three manipulators. He would not re-
peat the conversation until the broker
had promised to pay him. The latter
agreed that il he made use OF the infor-
nation he would give the urchin two
and a half per cent. of the money made
upon the following day. The broker
acted on the information, clearing eight
thousand dollars. He Immediately sent
for the lad and gave him a check for two
hundred and City dollars. When the
latter returned to his employers and re-
lated the story, the cashier did not credit
it, and refused to cash the check as re
quested. He subsequently made inqnir-
les across the way, however, and he
learned the facts we're as / have related
them. Wall and Broad streets are alive
with just as keen, wide-awalEe lads.
The trouble is, however, that too many
Of them grow up into sharpers.

HisfnrIrnI Reminiseennn.

The sketch Of James Fennimore
Cooper in Harpers Weekly Of July 29th,
recalls curious and somewhat charac-
terisiic incident, showing the spirit Of
antagouism Mr.. Cooper displayed to-
ward everything he deemed 10 be wrong.
Soon after the death of President Har-
rison, in April, 1871, Mr.. Cooper hap
pened to be in Buffalo on a visit 10 his
son-in-law, Mr. Phinney, the bookseller.
Up to that time there had been no pre-
pedent established as 10 the precise title
that should be assumed by a Vice Presi-
dent succeeding TO the Presidency.
That subject was discussed by Mr.. Tyler
and the members Of the Harrison cahi-
net; bat Mr. Tyler promptly decided the

A NoveI and cnrlous vegelabIe.

In tract Of country in the southwest
ern part Of Africa, distinguished for It's
dry but rich soil, the Boston Journal Of
Chemistry says, a gigantic perennial
melon has been discovered, which is a
most delicious, wholesome fruit, and
which is largely consumed by the native
inhabitants as food. In order that this
melon may flourish, il is necessary that
il should strikeits roots through the sand
thirty feet TO reach permanent moisture.
This it does, and grows in great luxuri-
ance, where all else is shrivelled and
parched byIheat. But this is not ali II
It we're simply huge melon, with smooth
and delicate skin, every ono would be
destroyed by wild beasts before coming
to maturity. Toprevent this, nature has
armed its outer rind with a covering OF
long, sharp, terrible ihorns, which so
lacerate the mouth and nose Of animals
that they are glad TO leave them alone in
all their tempting freshness. Man, with
his hands and sharp knives, finds little
difficulty in opening the luscious fruit.
The natives have no necessity OF putting
fences about their melon patches, for the
plants are self-proteetive.

one Hundred years Ago.

One hundred and ten years ago there
was not single white man in Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Then, what
is the most hourishing part of America,
was as little known as the country
around the mysterious mountains of the
moon. 1t was not until 1867 that Boone
left his home in North Carolina TO be-
come the first settler in Kentucky. The
first pioneers of Ohio did not settle until
twenty years after this time A hundred
years ago, Canada belonged to France,
and the population did not exceed a
million and half of people. A hun
bred years ago, the great Frederick of
Prussia was performing those great ex-
PLOTS which have made him immortal in
military annals, and with his little mon
archy was sustaining a single-handed
contest with Russia, Austria and France,
the three great powers of Europe COM
bined. A hundred years ago, Napo-
leon was not born, and Washington
was modest Virginia colonel, and
the great events in history of the two
worlds, in which these great but disslmu-
lar men took leading parts, were then
scarcely foreshadowed. A hundred years
ago the United States were the most
loyal part of the British empire, and on
the political horizon no speck indicated
the struggle which within score of
years thereafter established the great
republic of the world. A hundred years
ago there we're but four newspapers in
Amerieal Steam engines had not been
imagined, and railroads and telegraphs
had not entered into the remotest con-
ception of men. When we come to look
back at it through the vista of history,
we find that to the century just passed
has been allotted more important events,
in their bearing upon the happiness of
the world than almost any other which
has elansed since the creation.

Judge Bowling and an English
Traveller


Among Justice Dowling's fellowlpas
sengers in the Queen was an Englisl
traveller who had taken delight in sea
bathing at Bathgate. He privately TOLD
Justice Bowling one day after dinner
that the only discomfort of crossing the
Atlantic was the deprivation of salt
water baths. f Nef .
why said, his honor, | have my
saltwater bath every morning.
Tell me how you do 1t.
Have the waiter call you at fouI
O'Clock tomorrow morning, replied the
justice. Come on deck in your night
shirt and slippers, and the sailors will
pump salt water all over you" y
! +" Thanks, my dear Judge
Forthwith Justice Bowling sought the
mate and put up job " on the Eng
lishman. He sent dozen bottles OF
champagne to the watch, and extracted
a promise from each and every man that
when the Englishman appeared in the
morning he should be deluged with water
from the fore and aft pumps. To each
of these pumps was attached one hun
dred feet of leather hose and three
inch brass nozzle. Ho
At precisely four o'clock on the next
morning the English traveller was called
to take his saltwater bath. He made
his appearance dressed in long ruiiled
linen night shirt, and on his feet were a
pair OF finely worked pump-soled slip
pers. He stationed himself near the
forecastle and Invested himself of his
light apparel. Then he shouted,
Go ahead, Mr.. Mate"
Go ahead" echoed the mate; and
the sailors played upon the bather.
At breakfast seat was vacant. At
lunch also seat was vacant; but at
dinner the Englishman re-appeared, and
found chair as far as possible from
Justice Bowling.

the subject of an ingenious and inter
esting article, which was published as
editorial in the Buffalo Daily Courier
aiming to prove that Mr.. Tyler should
have designated himself "Vice Presi-
dent and Acting President Of the United
States and not President. The arti-
Gle attracted wide attention, and was, we
believe, one of the last ever, written by
Mr.. Cooper for the press. The decision
of Mr.. Tyler established the precedent
which was afterward adopted by Mr..
Fillmore on the death Of Mr.. Taylor in

The Emperor Of BrazII.

London Cor. Cincinnati Commercially
There was near Professor Huxley, the
Emperor OF Brazil, who is noted TO be
one Of the raeiest, most good humored,
and universally intelligent fellows alive.
This Emperor was plainly cut out for a
saYant. He gossips with the naturalists
about fish stories, and he tells fish sto-
ries proportionately big to that grand
river in which he has chiefly observed
them. He says that much OF his enthu-
siasm for science is due 70 Agassi4' visit
to him, and he has written over to Cam
bridge to request the said Professor to
come over here to go with him upon a
tour through Switzerland. He arrived
here three days ago, and the FIRST thing
he did was to buy Scots Heart Of Mid
lothian" which he took about under his
arm, and read upon all occasions, When
he had finished reading it, he got up the
next morning at about FIVE o'clock, and
proceeded to saunter about the old Toll
broth, until he had identified all the To-
calities mentioned in Sir Walters book.
