allowing eighteen inches for the change
OF direction by the current, he left his
treasure to compete with the dace and
sinner in fascinating the river mermaid,
and returned TO his Massachusetts home.
The September following, six months
after the loss, the river being then at its
lowest point for the season, the un-
daunted lumberman started for his dia-
mond. The river full of logs, covering
the place, had been sawed and shipped,
and now only few inches Of water
trickled over the spot where the stud
fell. He took with him large tin
colsnder, the holes of which were of a
size to hold the prize, if found. He had
determined to work fortnight before
giving up the gem as lost, and to have
all the river bottom go through his
handy kitchen strainer. He made his
first dip of gravel and water, as nearly
as he could calculate, eighteen inches
down the current from where it struck
the surface of the stream, seven feet
above. And lucky dip it was, for at
the bottom of the pan lay the lost gem,
bright and sparkling as when it came
from the jeweller.
The above incident is a good illustra-
tion of Yankee patience and tact, as we'll

A Diamond Lost and Found.

A few years since gentleman engaged
in the lumber business in Maine, having
an appreciative eye for fine diamond,
and being convinced that a real gem
would, if properly bought, be a safe in
vestment, accordingly commissioned a
jeweller to purchase for him. stone
about thousand dollars in value, which
was mounted as a spiral-backed stud.
AS months rolled on the owner was
offered by connoisseurs constant ad-
vances on his purchase, which tempta-
ton only made him value his gem the
more, and he said to himself, "If it is
worth that to them, it is to me, and
will keep it till forced by necessity to
sell it."
In April of last year, while working
on his boom of logs on one of the
streams of the Kennebec, having on a
shirt, the stud-hole worn large by SER
vice, he saw his sparkling brilliant fall
from his bosom, strike the log, and glide
quietly into the current below.
Determination to regain it overpower-
ed the regret of his mind. He kept his
loss where his stud should have been
in his bosom. Sounding the depth of
the water he found it to be about seven
feet; he then decided to wait till the
summer drought should bring the stream
to its lowest ebb, and taking accurate
measurement of the place, by the bear
ing OF the rocks and trees on the shore,

The Philadelphia Dog.Shclter.

The. Women's Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, of which Mrs. Caroline Il. White
is President, have founded in Philadel-
phia Dog Refuge. Previous to the
formation of this home, notorious dog
catcher was employed by the authorities
to capture all stray dogs and destroy
them. Under this arrangement scenes
of great cruelty took place in the streets
almost daily, followed by the brutal
slaughter of the captured animals with
clubs. These demoralizing scenes are
now at an end, the authorities having
given the matter up entirely to Mrs.
White and her coadjutors. A lot of
ground was secured on the Lamb Tav-
ern road, near Harris lane, and there the
dogs shelter has been erected. The lot
is partly occupied by small dwelling,
and partly by quadrangular enclosure
bounded by high board fence. The
dog enclosure is again divided into two
parts, one for the dogs which are re-
claimed by their owners, and which are
returned on payment of fine of 50, and
the other for the unreclaimed dogs, most
of whom are mongrels. Around the
sides of the enclosures are shelters for
the dogs, and they have large piece of
ground to run over. They are we'll fed
until reclaimed by the owners or des-
troyed. Under the rear part of the
dwelling is a walled enclosure about
twelve feet long, five feet wide and three
feet deep. This is air-tight when the
doors are closed. The bottom of it is
level with the ground where the un-
claimed dogs are kept and has door
opening in that direction. The animals
to be killed are put in this place, the
doors closed, and from room above
carbonic acid gas, generated in a cask
containing water, whiting and sulphuric
acid, is forced down through a pipe
among the dogs in the air-tight room.
In about two minutes they are all dead.
The officers of the Society catch the dogs
with nets in the streets. Mr.. Bergh is
making an attempt to have a similar in
stitution in New York, for the reception
of all vagrant dogs. He will also erect
a suitable place in which to destroy
horses which have become unfit for fur
ther use.

representations,

Speaking of Philadelphia lawyers, the
distributing clerk in charge of the for
eign letters which come through the
Chicago postoffice was evidently cut out
for one; if not, his experience has been
such as to amply tit him for the profess
sion OF deciphering unintelligible signs
and hieroglyphics. Many of the super
scriptions which come through his hands
are among the most mysterious of ciph-
ers--unintelligible from the writer's not
knowing what he wanted to write, rather
than illegible through carelessness in
writing. When countryman of Gus
tavus Vasa, for instance, still hibernat-
ing upon his native hills, sends a letter
to his brother in this country, and, writ
ing from memory, and a memory not
much trained in letters at that, super
scribes it Seederabst lenco Ia.," he has
succeeded in mystifying the average hu-
man mind considerably regarding the
intended destination of his missive. Not
at all the postoff1ce clerk, however, who
at once sees that " Cedar Rapids, Linn
county, Iowa." is meant. So, too, when
from the Bremen bag a greasy packet
hutters out, addressed to "Hafte Lac Co
Ill, ,"it is not difficult to discern, after the
letters of the legend have been evolved
from the chaos in which stiff fist and
villainous pen have left them, that the
packet is intended for some one in "Half
Day, Lake county, Illinois" and thither
it therefore goes. But when the only
address to be made out from another
and that by no means sure, so vague are
the forms of the letters-is "Chollyhut-
vile Co ILL.," then it is that brains tell
in the distributing business. Brains fin
ally result in solution of the palimp-
sest, and Joliet, Will county, Illinois,"
is the Interpretation thereof. In like
manner "Verseaux incauque Co Ameri-
ka,"-a superscription which could have
emanated from nowhere else but France
is decided to mean "Warsaw, Han
cock county," and it is found that Hi.
nois has such town, in such county /;
so the letter is forwarded thither, and
has doubtless gladdened or saddened the
heart of its object before now.-Laheside
Monthly.
