HOW A DOG WAS "SOLD."

Here is true dog story: A family
down town having a false CRATE in
one Of the rooms Of the house placed
some red paper behind it to give the
effect Of fire. One of the coolest
days this winter the dog belonging to
the household came in from out of
doors, and seeing the paper in the
CRATE deliberately walked up to it and
laid down before it, curled up in the
best way to receive the glowing heat
as it came from the fire. He remain
ed motionless for a few minutes; feel
ing no warmth he raised his head and
looked over his shoulder at the CRATE;
still feeling no heat he arose and care
fully applied his nose to the CRATE and
smelt of it. Tt was as cold as ice.
With a look Of the most supreme dis
gust, his tail curled down between
his legs, every hair ION his body say
ing, "I'm sold," the dog trotted out
of the room,not even deigning to cast
look at the party in the room who
had watched his actions and laughed
so heartily at his misfortunes. That
dog had reason as well as instinct

plainly the marks of teeth, where he
must have been fearfully bitten.
He has been taught to do some
kinds of work, but not faithfully.
He seems to have lost all desire to
escape; he mingles freely with the
other children, among whom he has
his favorites. When the boy first
mentioned was brought to the Or
phanage, this one was made to un-
derstand that he must teach the 9TH
er how TO eat, and drink, and walk,
and much of the improvement of the
younger one in these respects SEEM
ed due to the efforts of the older one.
The inference from these extraordi-
nary instances is strangely at vari.
ance with many afirmations now
current. 1t does not point in the
least to mans derivation from the
lower creation, but exactly to the
reverse. Ii we only look accurate
ly and think closely we shall find
much more evidence, both in nature
and in history, that the lower crea-
tor is mans descendant rather than
his ancestor

old man died who seemed to be the
only representative of the property;
whereupon some one who had the
right to do SO entered and found the
stacks OF plates and engravings in
pools OF water, which had fallen
through the leaky roof. On exami-
alton the great mass Of the works
were found to be uninjured. They
belong to two gentlemen, distant
relations of Turner, one of whom
has been sent for as far as Alabama
to attend to his rights. 1t must be
remembered that Turner's "engrav
lngs"a not ofthe ordinary kind. He
drew sketces for them, but with his
own hand completed them on the
plates, SO that they are among his
most valuable works. They will all
be sold at Christie & Mason'sg in
March, the sensation will probably
be equal to that which accompanied
the great elliott sale. There are
more theni20,000 to be sold. These
include from four hundred to six
hundSed of the larger engravings
such as Caligula's'' Bridge ''Dido
and Eneas, "Marcury and Argus"
"Marcpry and Horse" Crossing the
Brook" some five hundred sets of
the English and Wales scenery series
and larger numbers Of the amalle
illustrations Of the works of Ryon,
Scott, Milton, Campbell, and Rogers
There are about seven hundred speci-
mems from the celebrated "Liber
Stubiorum," which Turner began,
following project Of Clude, but never
completed. And there are about
eighty pictures meant for the Liber
StudIorum which have never been
published
The prices that some Of these pic
lures will bring will probaly be very
great, and indeed the values of Turner
pictures will probably continue to in
crease for many years to come, so
great IS the hunger, not only of the
English, but of continental collect
ors and galleries, for any that are not
locked up in the possession of the
nation. am glad to say the sketches
belonging to the nation will not be
perpetually locked up from sight; a
vast addition to the building Of the
Nation Gallery is being erected, in
good partto exhibit them, -MsD.C.

a MURDERoUs SEA-FLoWER.-
One Of the exquisite wonders Of the
sea is called the opelet, and is about
as large az the German aster, looking
inded, very much like it. Imagine q
very large double aster, with ever so
many long petals of light green,
glossy as satin, and each one tipped
with rose color. These lovely petals
do not lie quietly in their place, like
those of the Aster in your garden, but
wave about in the water, while the
opelet clings to rock. How innocent
and lovely it looks on it's rocks bed!
Who would suspect that it would eat
anything grosser then dew or sunlight
But those beautiful waving arms, as
you call them, have uses besides
looking pretty. They have to provide
for large, open mouth, which is
hidden down deep'amongst them-so
well hidden that one can scarcely find
it Well do they perform their duty
for the instant a foolish fish touches
one Of the rosy tips, he is struck
with poison as fatal to him as light
ming. He Immediately becomes
numb, and in a moment stops strug-
Cling; and then the other beautiful
arms wrap themselves around him,
and he is drawn into the huge greedy
mouth, and is soon no more. then
the lovely arms unclose, and wave
again in the water, looking as innoc-
ent and harmless as though they had
never touched fish.

a LAWYERS WIFE" WITH TOO MANY
"FRIESDS."
AhOut one week ago a "lawyer and claim
AGENT" whose sign is conspicuous OH Az street,
engaged a room at a respectful BILE boarding house
on Pennsylvania avenue, for " himself and
wife," 1t was not long before the lady of the
house began to entertain suspicious that there
was something wrong going on from frequent
visits OF rough-lOOking customers to .'the law
ver's wife. and communicating her suspicious to
her husband he gave the supposed wife OF the ten
ant notice TO leave at once. On returning home
in the evening, he was surprised to find her still
there, and was more surprised to learn she had
no intention OF removing: but had been enter
tanning motley crowd of men. Among those
who called later in the day was Henry Himber,
a well-known contractor and local politician,
who was admitted to the room Of % the LAWYERS
wife, as - an old friend" Soon afterwards the
lawyer returned, and finding his door locked,
and as he supposed occupied by some one who
had no business there, he made a racket both
with his heels on the door and by word of mouth,
which being very offensive to the lady of the
house and her son, q small-siZed but active
Young man, the latter went to see what
the trouble was, and arrived just as the
door flew open, exposing the stawart form
OF the contractor without coat or hat.
1imber put on a bold face and inquired: What
the devil they wanted. The lawyer said to
the son OF the landlady that he wanted to enter
his room, but found an intruder there who
would not let him enter. Himber, here speak
ing up, said he should not enter, and was on the
point of closing the door. both LAWYER and con-
tractor becoming mere and more administrative.
At this junctnre the young man, son of the
landlady, thought it his turn to take hand in
the affair, and ordered Himber to leave the
house. This he declined to do, and the first
thing Himber knew he found himself at the foot
of the stairs and Immediately afterwards in the
street without any hat ON, and feeling like
man who had been pretty roughly treated. In
the meantime the lawyer left in some mysterious
way unobserved; but soon afterwards the same
son of the landlady came across him on the
avenue near Z street. and polished him OFF too.

In THE 'BOOk of Mormon" the author, who
ever he was, represents one of the ten tribes
steering by the mariners compass A certain
clergyman, who once called the attention of a
high Mormon official to the anachorism. was
blandly told that he had forgotten his Tesla
ment, and referred to Acts xviii. ia which
reads as follows: "And from thence we fetched
compass, and came to Rhegum." 1t is not
recorded whether the explanation was or was
not satisfactory to the GENTLE critic but his
confusion at such unexpected evidence NAV be
easily imagined. The use of fetch in the sense
OF take occurs in several other passages in the
Bible, and similar ones are frequently met with
in English liturature: Shakespeare wrote "I'II
fetch turn about the garden" The phrase
fetch walk" is still used i'm some parts of
England. f VI
