A Mixed St0ry-HpW the New York Navy
0flosr had his Goose Cooked
hY a Tailor -

NEW YORK, July IAN indict-
ment for perjury against Naval
Officer Latin, OF this port, has been
found by the grand jury of Herkimer
county, and the trial is set down for
next week. The circumstances OF the
case are said to be these: Some time
ago a brother OF the naval officer in
trured the latter with bond for safe
keeping. This, it Is said, was folded
up and placed in an envelope, in the
naval officers desk. One day, when
sending off official documents, the
naval officer accidentally slipped one
of them into the envelope containing
the bond. The bond and the official
document were posted together, and
the bond could not be traced for a long
time; but it was afterWard discovered
in the possession OF q tailor at Her
kimer. The owner Of the bond, when
he heard of this, brought suit against
the tailor for its recovery, and the
present charge grows out of the evi.
deDce given In the case. Friends OF
the latter declare that the prosecution
is malicious, and say that he desires a
full investigation. A prominent and
important officer of the court also
telegrapbed to the effect that the an
nouncement of an indictment does
Latin wicked injustice.

A Good DOG Story.

Mr.. Beecher in his Christian Union,
vouchcs for the truth Of this story.
A narrow log lay as a bridge over a
ravine. From the opposite ends of the
log. at the same moment, there started to
cross il 4 big Newfoundland and q little
Italian greyhound. OF course they met
in the middle; of course there was not
room for them to pass; neither could they
go back. The height was dangerous
one for the greyhound, and to the water
at the bottom he was extremely averse.
The Newfoundland could have taken Il
leap in safety. but evidently did not want
TO. There was u fix The little dog set
down on his launches, stuck his nose
straight up III the air and howled The
Newfoundland stood intent, his face sol
emn with inward workings. Presently he
gave a nudge with his nose to the bowling
greyhound-as if to say, ''Be STILL young
ster, and listen.n Then there was silence
and seeming contabulation for a second or
two. Immediately the big dog spread his
legs wide apart like a Colossus, bestrid-
ing the log on its extreme outer edges,
and balancing himself carefully. The lit
tie dog sprang through the opening like
a flash. When they reached the opposite
shore the greyhound broke into frantic
@ambols OF delight; and the Newfound-
land after the more sedate fashion eX-
press great complacency in his achieve
mcnt as he surely had n right to do
