Tic Dog and Tho IndIan.

An English ship was once ut foreign
dock, on board Of which was n bull dog.
Tho animal was so ferocious that lie
gained an extensive reputation. Chain
ed at the gungway OF the ship, he spent
the livelong day in the hopeless task Of
springing at every person who passed
along, either on pleasure or business.
Tie owner, first mate Of the vessel, wOnld
sit for hours and detail tho wonderful
deeds Of this mighty dog. CrowdE Of
idlersdaily collected, and there stood the
hero, or rather, there rayed the insane
crcaturent tho multitude, each individu-
al indulging the vague hope, that he
would presently break loose and pitch
into somebody, and thus show his
proves.
Among the idlers was an Indian who
occasionally visited the city, and made
q few pence by shooting IN arrow at
pennies stuck in the end OF stick,
Upon the yeiy appearance Of tho Indian.
tho bull dog waS particularly violent,
greatly to the amusement Of tho fellow,
who took malicious pleasure in irrita-
ting the animal. The mate finally inter-
iered and told the the Indian to go awny,
lost the dog might break loose and cat
him up. The Indian, not tho least
ala med, in broken English announced
to the crowd that il tho dog was brought
down to the ground, and chained 10 o
post, he would for fiye dollars, fight the
dog with nothing but his hands and
teeth. The money was raised, and the
mate, after expressing much reluctance
at the idea oflhaying the Indian killed,
brought the dog down from tho ship,
and fastened him TO post. The Indian
put away his bow aud arrow, his knife,
laid his neck bare, aud then rolled up
his shirt sleeves. A ring was formed,
and the battle commenced.
The Indian approached the dog crawl
ing on all fours, barking and growing,
as II he was one himself. The bull dog
meanwhile jumped and fumed at tho end
Of Ills cliaia, gnashed his teeth, foamed
Mt the month, while his eyes beamed
living fire with irritation. The Indian,
however, kept up his pantoniime, and
gradually brought his face in fearful
proximity to tho dogs teeth. The mate
now interiered, for he felt confident the
Indian would get killed; but the crowd
had become excited, and insisted upon
"see the thing out" A mutual silence
ensued between the combatants, the dog
straining his chain in his anxiety to
reach the Indian, untilit was as straight
and solid MS n bar OF iron. Suddenly
the Indian seized the bull dogs under
lip between his teeth, and in m instant
whitfield himself with the dog over on
his back, So unexpected was the at
tact, and so perfectly helpless was the
dog, with his feet in the air and his
jaws imprisoned, that he recovered his
astonishment only TO give forth yells Of
pain whereupon the 1udian shook him n
moment as cat docs o mouse, and then
let 90 his hold. Tho dog, once so saw
age, putting his tail between his legs,
retreSted from his enemy, and screamed
with terror to get beyond the reach of
the chain. VI i..

Such is the title ofa book just issued from
the press, containing $40 pages It's titles in
dicates clearly its purpose. While it con-
tains much valuable matter that will rem
der this volume permanently useful it is
especially adapted to the campai en- now
going on in this country and the author
has shown great skill in bringing together
large amonnto of matter, calculated to
throw light on the question at issue Mr..
Chamberlin is well known to the people
OF wisconsin as graceful writer, and in
no place has he shown more skill than in
this work. 1t is full of facts so grouped to-
gether as to make the book oae of extreme
interest as a mere matter of pleasant read
ing and every page is calculated TO re-
vive in the mind of the politician Just such
incidents OF the past, as he needs at the
present time The brief, yet complete,
"History of the Democratic Party" which
it contains, is well worth the price of the
book. 1t also contains a "IIistory of the
Democratic Party" sketches of the several
candidates, &c. 1t extracts largely from
the writings of prominent men of di fferent
times, especially from those of Horace Gree
ley, Henry Wilson, B. Gratz Brown, Ham

Oglesby, Geo. S. Boutwell,, E. B. Washburu,
Charles Francis Adams, Charles Sumper,
and Lyman Trumbull 1t is b ook of ex-
treme interest to the politician j., and will be
found of special value in the editorial sane
tum. We congratulate friend Chamberln
upon the superior manner in which he has
performed his part, in rendering this work
both readable and useful. 1t must find an
extensive sale. The price of the volume
neatly bound in cloth, we believe is $3.50,
and they will be sent to any one, not other

amount to the author, at the office of the

be obtained, but he high figures expected
by many for their hops will scarcely be re-
allied, judging fiom present appearances.
Brewers and buyers are prepared to pay

change, last Monday evening. The store
was handsomely trimmed, and brilliantly
illuminated with new style of gas burners
and altogether presented most attractive
and beautiful appearance. On entering we
were amazed at the vast and varied assort-
ment of goods which met our eye. Shawls
and dress goods OF every hue and grade !;
Silks, rich and glossy; White goods in
monster piles Linens in the greatest varie-
ty and the notion and hosiery stock full
and complete We could not but think that
Mr. Hirsh would be able TO crafty every
taste, and that no one in want of anything
in the dry goods line need go way from his
store empty handed. See the advertise
ment of the New York Store in another

HORSE Observation-Disclosures Fl

HORSE Monday fore
noon last, Mr.. P. V. Brown lost :. 6ne horse
by drowning His son. Lansing. went with
the horse and buggy into the river below
the dam for the purpose of washing OFT the
buggy, and not being aware of the existence
of hole in that part of the stream, some
twenty feet deep. drove into it. Nobody
being near at hand to render assistance, the
horse soon drowned, and young Brown mar
rowly escaped with his life. The hole
where this accident occurred is most dam
gerous one, and the city authorities should
see to il that it is filled up. We believe
that no less than four persons have been
drowned in it, aud now another accident,
although happily not one involving loss
OF human life, is added to the list.
