The next day the old man did as the dog told
him, and when the guards brought him before
the damio, he threw handful of ashes into
the air, upon which a tree growing near imme
diately began to blossom. Then the daimio was
astouished and took the old man with him to
his palace, and sent him away soon after loaded
with rich presents.
When the envious neighbor heard of this, he
again came to the old man and begged to have,
at least, the ashes of the mortar. So he gave

were no flowers, and the dust flew in the daimio's
eyes; SO the damio cut down the poor man.

Rev. Robert Thompson, a British clergyman,
will, it is said, shortly preach two sermons, be-
lieved on good authority to have been COM
posed by Sir Walter Scott at AbbOtford, in
1923, for a young clerical friend of his own.
The sermons are very scarce, being almost out
of print.
Dogs remarkable for sagacity exist in regions
where alligators abound. For instance, when
one OF them wishes to cross a river where the
alHgatorS are, he goes up the stream good
way and barks with all his might; the alligators
go there and wait for him getting in TO swim
across. The dog knows what he is about when
he sees from the number of shouts above water
that his enemies have all gathered TO the feast,
runs down the bank as fast as he can, and
swims across before the alligators are
aware of the trick that has been played upon
them.
Vigneron, a Frenchman, known in Europe
for his feats of strength, and particularly for
lifting a cannon weighing six hundred pounds
upon his shoulders and firing full charge of
gunpowder, was instantly killed on the sands
at Boulognc-sur-Mer on the 10Th ultimO. He
was going through this performance as usual,
but while in the act of lifting the cannon to
lower it he slipped and fell. The cannon struck
the face of the unfortunate man, splitting his
skull completely in two. He was torty-tye
years old
The heavy guns now made in England, it is
reported, will do great execution. An 1l-inCh
gun tried recently at Shoeburyness, was loaded

pounds was fred against target representing
the side of ship. The projectile, it is stated,
was sent clean through thirteen inches Of iron,
twelve inches of teak, and an inner skin of iron
an inch and a halfthick. This trial, it is argued
shows that the heavy armor of the New Eng
liSh monitor, Devastation, could be pierced by
the proiectiles fired from guns similar to those

1t is announced that nephew of the famous
bandit Joaquin Muriata, who twenty years ago
was the terror Of the inhabitants of the southern
counties of California. is the chief of an organ
lied band of highwaymen, whose bold rob-
berries of stage coach passengers and express
messengers in the mining regions of California
and Nevada have been frequently mentioned in

An EXCITING FIGHT WITH WILDCATs.-For
three or four months past farmers living in
Brownstown and Huron townships have been
very much annoyed by two wildcats, which
inhabited a swamp in the latter place.
Last Sunday three men mounted their horses
and rode to the swamp, taking three dogs along.
For several hours they beat about the place
without discovering any signs Of the animals;
but at length one OF the dogs, which was pros.
pecting in the swamp on his own account set
up a fearful howl, and came to the men with his
back well scratched. The other dogs then drove
the cat out of the swamp and up tree, and she
was dispatched by a rife shot. The farmers had
no idea of the presence of another. They were
seated under tree, eating cold bite, when
male cat, considerably larger than the one
slain, came out of the swamp, and attacked
dog which was just then tapping water at a
small pond; the other dogs joined in, and while
the men were picking up their guns and run
ming to the spot, one was disabled, and the
other two refused to close in again, running
around in a circle. As the men came up the cat
leaped for one of the men, fastening to his LEG,
and throwing him down He tried TO shoot but
could not. AT length one of his friends knocked
the beast over, and shot him as he was return
ing to the attack. This only disabled the ami
NAL, and he was still a match for both dogs I'M

A JAPANESE FABLE.-One day dog led his
master into forest and showed him a hidden
treasure. Now, the old man must always be
talking, and he told this afterwards to a wicked
nelghbor, vino made the dog take him to the
same forest but only found stones in the place
where the treasure had been. Thereupon he
killed the dog and buried him in the same place,
at the foot of tree.
When the old man learned this, he cut down
the tree and made the branches into little
chapel in memory of the good dog, and out of
the trunk he made "A mortar to pound his rice
in. So soon, however, as he began to use the
mortar, he found that gold came out Of it. The
old man could not keep quiet, and his neighbor
soon came to hear of that, and he sent at once
to borrow the mortar. But he could get no gold
out of it; SO in his wrath he burnt it to ashes.
The old man begged TO have the ashes, and
took them home; and the next night the dog
appeared to him in dream, and told him to
take the ashes of the mortar, on the following

A wager lately came Off the terms of which
were as follows 81 will bet any man E100 that
he cannot make million strokes with pen and
ink within a month" They were not to be
mere dots and scratches, but fair down strokes
such as form the child's first lesson in writing.
A gentleman accepted the challenge. The
month allowed was the lunar month of only
twenty-eight days, so that for the completion
OF the undertaking, an average of SO 900 strokes
per diem was required This at so per minute,
or 36OO per hour-and neither the human int +
lect nor the human hand can be expected TO do
more-would call for ten hours labor in every
twenty-four. With proper respect for the Sab
bath, the gentleman determined to abstain from
his work on Sundays, and by this determine.
ton diminished by four days the period allowed
him; at the same time, by so doing, he increased
the daily average of his strokes to upward of
Al 900. On the first day he executed $4,000; on
the second day nearly as many. But al length,
after many days, his hand became stiff and
weary, the wrist swollen, and without inter-
rupting its progress over the paper, it required
the almost constant attendance of some friend
TO besprinklc it with lotion calculated to re-
lieve and invigorate it. On the twenty-third
day the million strokes, exceeded by some few
thousands, Ito make assurance doubly sure"
were accomplished These interesting papers
are not placed in the archives of the Royal So
ciety, of which the gentleman is a Fellow, but
were claimed and received by the person who
paid the wager.-FrOm a LOitdon Pdper
