Senator Summer again referred at
length to the San Domingo question IN
terms of condemnation, and said the
whole contrivance, besides being a
wrong to the black Republic Of Hayti,
was an insult to the colored race, not
only abroad but here at home. How a
Chief Magistrate with four millions OF
cOlored fellow.citizens could have done
this thing passes comprehension.
The colored orator, Fred Douglass, was
selected by the President as one of the

great powerful fellow, was very good
natured, but this sproved little too much
for him. He sprang up with an angry
growl, aud bounding over the fence. as
# he had been as light ~ a bird, he
caught Bobby Ryan by the arm, and
held him tightly enough to let his teeth
be felt.

a look OF intelligence, which seeme,' to

And Bobby was frightened. DANDY
held him for a little while, growing
savagely, though there was good deal
Of make-beliei in the growl I; and then
tossing the arm away, the dog leaped
back over the fence, and laid himself
down by his kennel,
You're foolish boy. Bobby Ryan, "
said I, "to pick n quarrel with such
IA splendid old fellow as that. Suppose
you were to fall into the lake some day,
and Dandy happened to be near, and

Now it happened, only week after

in company with an older boy. and that
in some way their boat was upset IN deep
water, not far from the shore and it
also happened that Mr.. Howard and his
dog Dandy were near, and saw the two
boys struggling in the water
In moment Dandy spraug into the
lake and swan towards Bobby ; but,
strange to say. after getting close to the
lad, he turned and went towards the
larger boy, who was also struga ling in
the water. Dandy seized him and
brought aim safely to the shore. He
the turned and looked toward Bobby,
MS young tormerter he had good

moments the . dog seemed doubling

"Quick, Dandy y cried his master,

swimmer he had thought himself.
At this the noble dog bounded again
into the water and brought Bobby to

dropped the boy as soon as he reached
the shore, and walked away with a
stately air
But Bobby, grateful for his rescue, and

The MosoUITo. The ordinary mosqui-

Early California Days.

The hospitality Of the early Califor-
mia days was something notable. The
Missions, which were then rich, made
place and occasion for frequent festivi-
ties. To San Luis Rey, for instance,
came families from fifty miles around,
with their retainers, for a Fiesta. They
remained week or two, and the feast
was partly religious, partly secular. The
padres, rich in cattle. entertained all
who came, and thus the country-sid
kept up acquaintance. In those days,
men used to travel from San Diego to
Monterey, aud never spend cent Of

WOULD HAVE SEATs.-A gentleman
tells of an incident which happened on a
New York Central train which may furn
iSh hint to travellers. Among the pas
sengers who got on thr train at Utica.
n. Y. were twenty-three men who were
unable to find seat. Among them was
a lawyer, who proposed to the rest that
all decline to give up their tickets until
they were furnished seats. The agree
ment was made, and when the conductor
came around he found twenty three gen
tlemanly but very obstinate men who re-
fused to give him either tickets or money
unless he would show them place to sit.
The conductor replied that there were
plenty of vacant seats in the next car, but
on inquiry it was ascertained that this
was a drawing room car, for which extra
charge was ma lie. So the twenty three
declined TO bulge, and matters remained
in thus unsettled condition until the cars
had gone long distance The conductor
finally induced two dozen persons who had
seats to 90 into the drawing-room car,
without extra charge. and then made H
place for the obstinate twenty three, WI
then gave up their tickets as they had said
they would do. Undoubtedly they had the
right OF 1t, as the courts have repeatedly
decided that passenger is justified in re-
using payment OF tarc until the railroad
company gives him proper Accommodations.

PoAoHINo The English newspapers
report u singular case of poaching with
dynamite. At recent sitting OF the
Whitehaven Bench of Magistrates, Peter
Mayhollain and George Sratton, miners,
were charged with having unlawfully
taken fish from the river Calder by
means of an explosive substance called
dynamite. A similar case was before
the Bench thre weeks ago. and since
then four or five cases of precisely
similar character have occurred, in
which the men had great number of
fish and had got away with them, as 1t
had not been possible to bring them to
justice. In this case, however, the men
were caught in the act during close
time. 1t appeared from the evidence
of one of the river watchers that the de-
PENDANTS were first seen by him and
constable at Wormgi!l Foot. n stream
which empties itself into the Calder,
near Thornhow. The watcher and con-
stable concealed themselves, and saw
the defendants creep up the banks of a
hedge and go on until they came to n
hole in the stream. The poachers threw
into the water a cartridge containing
dynamite with a lighted fuse attached.
The cartridge exploded, and nine fish
were killed by it-namely, .one mort
one smelt, three brandlings, and four
liver trout. The watcher and police
man then ''foreset" the defendants,

BREAD. Women invent some things
nowadays, though it is generally sup
posed they have not much talent in that
line. An Iowa lady-as we notice from
the recent list of patents granted-has
invented an improved apparatus for
raising bread, which consists in an outer
shell, or casing, with a removable false
bottom and lamp cha mber, and, in com
bination Herewith, containing vessel
and lamp, the whole constructed and ar
ranged so that very small flame will
supply sufficient heat, which will be
evenly distributed around the contain
ing vessel. The contents will be uni
formly warmed for producing the desir-
ed effect. This apparatus is claimed to
effect a great saving in time, aud to do
the work thorouhly and perfectly in the
coldest weather. The vessel is provided
with tightly fitting cover, so that a
kerosene lamp may be used without any
i'll effects upon the bread.

WHY LACE Is COSTLY The finest
specimen of Brussels lace is so compli-
Gated as to require the labor of seven
persons on one piece, and each operative
is employed at distinct features of the
work. The thread used is of exquisite
fineness, which is spun in dark, under
ground rooms, where it is sufficiently
moist to prevent the thread from separat-
ing. II is SO delicate as scarcely to be
seen. ana the room is so arranged that
all the light admitted shall fall upon the
work. 1t is such material that renders
II e genuine Brussels ground so costly.
