ANECDoTE or A Doc A nar-
row log lay as a bridge ovcra deep
raviIe. From the opposite ends OF
tie log, at the same moment, there
started to cross it a big Newfound-
land dog and a little Italian grey
hound /; ofcourSc they met in the
middle; of course there was no
room for them to pass, neither
could they 60 back. The height
was a dangerous one for the grey
hould, and to the water at the
bottom lie was extremely aycrse.
The Newfoundland could have
taken tie leap in safety, but cvi-
dcnt'y did not want to. Tiers
was a fix! The little dog sat
down on his launches, stuck his
nose straight up into the air and
howled. The Newfoundland stood
intent, his face solemn with inward
workings. Presently lie gave a
nudge with his nose to the bowling
greyhound, ,-as il to say, "Ec still,
yoangster, and listen" Then there
was asilcl.ce and seeming contabu-
lation for q second or two. I'm
mediately the big dog spread Ills
legs wide apart like a Colossus,
bestriding the log on its extreme
outer edges and balancing himself
carefully. Tie little dog sprang
through the opening like a flash.
When they reached the opposite
shores the greyhound broke into
frantic gaml'ols Of delight, and the
Newfoundland, after his more Sc
date fashion, expressed great CON-
placency at his achicvemcnt--as he
surely Lad right to do.

The IIillsboro Moth Cardinal
Recorder gives us this bit of in.
formation concerning whisl;ers
Did you know that in lS46 9
pair of whiskers or snc.l a thing a.
q mustache was abominAted IN, THU
sectionp We know prominent
gentleman of this town who says
lie neversaw n man with witha beard
till 1850; that his father, as we'll
as the other old gentlemen of the
town, never wore . whiskcr, but
shaved every morning, and taught
their children that whiskers were
an abomination and a SIN" Hc
says that at Chapel Hill, in 1876,
q young gentleman from Raleigh
land now a prominent citizen Of
that city, made q weak attempt to
cultivate mustache, and it raised
srcha commotion that the Faculty
took hold OF It and sent the Rev.
DR.. Deems, now Of New York,
and then orc Of tie Board, to tho
young man 70 reason with HIM, and
get him 70 shave his upper lip. The
Doctor appealed to the young man,
for the sake Of his sailted father, to
cut it of, and il not for his sake,
for Gods sake, to cut it off. And
the hairs disappeared. Only sports
and circus riders wore whiskers in
those days. Our informant now
wears . heavy beard, and is not o
little proud OF his niustache, How
times do change.

Circunastahtinl Evidence.

Tie London Globe publishes a
statement which is an illustration
Of the danger OF relying upon cir
cumstantial evidence even when it
approaches positivcness. A gen.
tlcman went to the British Muse
um with an order to have a case
opened containing some valuable
medals for his inspection. lie cx-
amined a particular medal, which
was supposed to be unique, restored
it to the tray, and after talking
some time with the custodian was
about to leave, when the latter dis
covered that the medal was mis-
sing. Itwasscarchcd forcvcrywhere,
and could not be found, when it
was suggested that the pockets Of
the visitor should be examined.
To this he objected, and a police
man was sent for. However, be-
fore he arrived, the medal was
found to have slipped between the
tray and the bottom Of the case
When asked why he refused to bc
searched, the supposed culprit pro
duced q medal from his pocket, the
exact counterpart of that which
was in the case, and remarked that
his object had been to verify the
authenticity Of his own, which be-
ing identical with the missing one
and discovered in his pocket would
have at once convicted him Of the
theft,

Fair Helcn.

Decp-set and darlly glowing eyes,
Look out from Helen's youthful face,
A challenge to the cruel skies:
Half-orphaned by the Destinies,
That heat Of fire, that girl of grace.
She stands on mornings shining brink,
And visits not what the day may bring;
Thirsting for life, her pulses drink
The promise of the hours which link
The past unto her towering spring.
She fears not all the storms that throng,
She laughs when lightning cuts the cloud
Strong in herself, in nature strong,
She feels her energies belong
To storms, as they as wildly proud,
Less Of the maiden than of fre@
Less of the woman than of wind;
Her thoughts in brilliant jets expire,
Or over sea and cloud aspire,
Mount, fly, and leave the world behind.
In her is nothing meek and frail,
She comes upon us as when June
Sends Ger us some health-giving gale.
Freshening the heart, while all the vale
Forgets the langucr of its noon.

"She Is Hollow

Several years ago worthy citizen
Of the United States who had been
elected to the Office of President saw fit
to call to his assistance as Secretary of
the Navy landsman from the interior
of North Carolina. This gentleman's s
ideas of cock-fghting, duelling, and
chivalry were much more definite and
distinct than his knowledge of ships
An enterprising merchant of this city
took a magnificent steamer down to
Washington to show her. He invited
the Secretary of the Navy, with a dis
tinguished party, to visit the ship.
they accepted the invitation. The
Secretsrv came down, evidently con-
scious OF his high official and personal
Importance. As hc stepped on board,
the instant his foot touched the deck,
he exclaimed:
"My--, you, she is hollow -
He had always labored under the
that the hulls of vessels were
solid. .-.
The present condition of things is
much more calculated to call forth
heartfelt ejaculation; for now it is the
Secretary himself who is morally hollow
and rotten to the core.-N. Y. Sun.
