A Child Mmglcd by Dogs.

In the lanyard of Ernest Blersch, 10
dogs, some grown and some half-grown,
have been hNrbored for some time past.
Fed upon the ofal, which is plentiful
and foul in such place, these animals
had become fierccr than their breed-a
cross between the powerful Newfound-
land and the brutal bull"-would have
made them, red-mouthed, gaunt, and
horrible, it is a wonder that such pack
could have existed in the midst of civ
ilized community so long as they did
and not have been sooner heard. Willie
Blersch, n bright seven-year-old son of
the well-to-do owner of the lanyard, and
criminally careless master of the hounds,
left his grandfather's and started home
ward, intending to call for his father en-
route. He entered the lanyard unmind-
full or unaware that the employees had
left it to the care of its night guardians,
10 dog-harpies. He had nearly reached
the center of the place, and had called
for his father, when long, keen fangs
We're thrust into him from behind, and
he was dragged by large dog literally
into the loft of one of the sheds, other
dogs coming to the assistance of their
fellow. At the taste of blood the fierce
ness of the huge mongrels caught fire.
The boy was dragged again down the
steps, and rolled in the filth of the yard
until all semblance of humanity had left
him. Black bleeding, and dying, he
still chung with his face downward to the
earth with the energy of despair. 1t
was at this moment that the neighbors
became aware of what was transporting.
A bold man sprang over the fence to the
rescue, but was Immediately driven out
by the now maddened and terrible dogs.
They went in with pitch-forks, and people
driving on the avenue stopped and went
to the rescue with knives and pistols. It
was brief and bloody work. The dogs
were slain to the last puppy, but not
before strong man had carried what
was left of Willie to his grandfather's.
Here he was received by his grand
mother, who washed him to the likeness
of a boy. The flesh had been chNwn
from his scalp; there were great, ugly
gashes in his forehead, cheeks, and lips.
Great pieces of skin and flesh hung from
the back of his head. Ghastly holes,
their edges lacerated with tooth-marks,
were under his arms legs and other
tender parts of his body bore wounds
beyond description. And yet he lived.
No vital part had been reached. He
could even tell brokenly how the attack
had begun.

The Philosophers Stone.

The eccentric but brilliant John Ran
dolph once rose suddenly up in his seat
in the House of Representatives, and
screamed out, at the top of his shrill
voice: "Mr. Speaker Mr.. Speaker
| have discovered the philosophers stone
1t is-Pay as you go!" John Randolph
dropped many rich gems from his mouth,
but never a richer one than that. "Pay
as you 60" and you need not dodge
sherif1s and constables. PAY as you
CO." and you can walk the streets with
an erect back and manly front, and have
no fear Of those you meet. You won't
have to cross the street to avoid dun,
or look intently in a shop window, in
order not to see creditor. "Pay as
you 60" and you can snap your fingers
at the world, and when you laugh, twill
be hearty, honest one, and not like the
laugh of the poor debtor, who looks
around as though he was in doubt
whether the laugh was not the property
of his creditors, and not included in arti-
cles " exempted from attachment, 'Pay
as you CO." and you will meet smiling
faces at home-happy, cherry checked,
smiling children-a contented wife-a
cheerful hearth stone. John Randolph
was right 1t is the philosophers stone.

10 my aStOnishment, the next who IS
sued forth as performer was my Zouave
acquaintance, who far eclipsed all the
others. He had taken off his fez, and
his long sweeping hair was hanging
wildly about him. He advanced to a
brazier of burning charcoal placed on
the ground, into which incense was
thrown, and swung his head and arms
about over the rising vapor with intense
violence for several minutes, when he
removed his embroidered jacket and
then his shirt, 50 that the upper part of
his body was nude, his head rocking and
his hair swaying in the wind all the time.
On a signal from him, Marabout pre-
scented him with naked scimitar, where
upon he kissed the feet of the Marabout,
and ran the sword across his own tongue
Two men now came forward and held
the scimitar between them, when he
flung himself upon it on his bare stom-
ach, and in this way he was carried three
times round the yard amid rapturous
lou-lous from above. When he ceased,
the scimitar had sunk deeply into the
IeSn OF MS SuOnlacn, WHICH udu lOlueu
over it so that it required an effort to
extract the weapon. A deep red welt
remained, but no blood flowed. He next
stood with his bare feet on the edge of
the blade, and was borne round in like
manner, standing on the weapon. After
this he lay upon the ground on his back,
and the scimitar was held over his stom-
ach by two men, while third stood
upon the blade. This appeared to intlict
dreadful torture on the victim, but gave
intense qualification to the female spec
tators in the upper gallery, who became
louder than ever in their vociferations.
These feats must have caused him much
suffering, for at the conclusion he was
in a profuse perspiration, and was laid
on the ground and covered over for some
time, after which he was supported into
the house in state Of apparent exhaus-
ton, doubtless with bad headache
after all the churning his brain had I'M
dergone.

The Code in South America.

The citizens of Lima, the capital Of
Peru, have been defrauded out of first
class sensation-one that would have
made their Republic famous throughout
the world. A venturous newsman pub
lished some very severe structures upon
the administration, which so incenSed
President Balta, that he caused the I'M
fortunate author to be imprisoned At
ter time the courts took the matter in
hand, and finding the prisoner had COM
mited no of1ense against the laws ORDER
ed his release. This action of the iu-
dietary added fuel to the ire of the Pre-
sident, who sent for the offending official
and upbraided him for interfering with
the course of justice. The interview
was spirited if not consoling. President
Baltas wrath found its counterpart in
that of the judges; uncomplimentary
expressions were interchanged, and the
conference ended by the Judge assuring
the President that MS soon as he vacated
the Executive chair personal satisfac-
ton would be demanded. Balta is i'm
petuous and plucky, if not discreet and
considerate, and within ten hours after
the occurrence, in order to give the
Judge an opportunity to avenge his
wounded honor, signed decree resign
ing his Office and calling the Vice Presi-
dent to the chair. Here was lesson in
chivalry without parallel in history, and
great was the reioicings of the Limanos
thereat. OF course no affair of honor
would be complete without a woman
being in the case, and President Balta's
exciting episode was no exception to this
universal rule. The Presidents counsel
lors saw the dangers which threatened
their republic should he resign and leave
the chief magistracy in the hands of so
inexperienced person as the Vice Pre-
sident, and accordingly besought him to
reconsider his determination; but Balta
was memorable, and no consideration
could induce him to forego the pleasure
of meeting out satisfaction to his OPP
ponent. At length the aged mother Of
the President appeared upon the scene,
and to her tears and entreaties the spun
ky Balta succumbed, and agreed to defer
the combat till further notice.

A PrOyerb.

There is u prOverb in heather tongue,
Which often strikes us as much more sublime
Than sayings which wiser day had sung,
And well TO be remembered in our timo.
TITS this can persons carry two huge sacks,
Ono is behind in front the other rests;
Ono holds their otUn faults-this is on their
backs;
Ono hold their ncighbors' lies on their
Breasts
So they look down and see each neighbours i'll,
And cry, This foul = but all the while are
blind
To their own faults, which, growing daily, fill
That bascr burden which rests on behind"

A New LEATHER.--Vegetable leather
is now extensively manufactured, the
principal materials being caoutchouc
and naptha. The product is only one
third as costly as ordinary leather, which
it resembles so closely that they can be
distinguished only by close inspection
and the vegetable leather has the addi-
tional advantage of being made in entire
pieces of fifty yards in length, if desired,
one and half yards wide, Of any thick
ness demanded, of uniform quality, and
ample strength.

The COrean Trouble.

Latest reports say that in the second
battle between the Coreans and the
American squadron, the former had six
thousand men armed with gingals, and
their bullets fell short, while the deadly
fire of the American rifles told fearfully
on the enemy.
Under the cover of the rank vcgota.
ton and behind the shoulder Of hill
the Americans advanced within one hun
bred and twenty yards Of the forts be-
fore they came within range of the CO.
rean musketry. The Coreans resisted
desperately to the last. Lieutenant Nc
Kee was killed as he entered the en-
trenchments. When the Americans
reached the intrenchments the Coreans
succumbed.
A number of prisoners were taken, in
Guiding the officer second in command,
who was badly wounded, the Command
er-in-Chief having been killed.
On the 10th of June the American
force bivouacked in the forts, and next
day demolished the forts and spiked all
the guns.
The fleet returned to the Boize an
chorage two days later. The Coreans
sent on board letter filed with the
most insulting and abusive language, to
which no reply was made.
Admiral Rodgers, however, sent to the
Coreans to know what he should do with
the prisoners.
The Coreans answered that he might
do with them as he pleased. Two days
later he set them at liberty, and sent two
messages ashore, but the local authority
refused to receive them, saying that it
was as much as his head was worth to
send them, and it was no use to attempt
to communicate further with the court
Mr.. Low, the American Minister, then
sent formal protest that his mission
was peaceful, and that the American at
tack was not for q refusal to negotiate,
but because the Coreans had treache-
rously fired on the boats,
The steamer Millet was then despatch
ed to Shanghai with dispatches for
Washington. The Monoccacy and the
Palos will return to Shanghai and be
locked, and the rest of the squadron
will return to Chefoo and await instruc-
tons. One hundred thousand rations
were sent to Chefoo.
The Coreans fought like men. The
weapons used by them are wretched old
fire. Jocks, and their cutlasses made Of so
soft iron that they bent like old hoops
They were dressed in armor of nine
thicllnesses, cotton padded, so that only
rifle balls could penetrate them. Swords
produced no effect upon them.
Documents captured show that the
Coreans had planned the surprise of
the American fleet, and were astoniShed
at the failure of the Corean forts to an
initiate the foreign vessels at the first
fire.
The expedition has accomplished no
change in the relations of the two coun-
tries, and Minister Low and Admiral
Rodgers will await instructions from
Washington before proceeding to further
hostilities.
Twelve native Christians came along
side the Admiral flagship in a junk and
begged to be taken to Shanghai, and
that their junk be burned to prevent its
falling into the hands of the native au-
who would thereby discover
from what village they came and punish
their relatives. The request was granted.
