A StOwaway Dog.

Many years ago, upon returning from
a residence in Italy, we took a steamer
from Leghorn to Liverpool to avoid the
fatigue of the land journey. On coming
into port at Marseilles we were detained
several days, the ships boatsplying be-
tween the steamer and the shore, the
harbor being, as usual, crowded with
ships Of every nation and description.
On the second day after leaving port q
most miserable, half-starved dog, ter
rier), one side of whose body was q
mass of pitch, was observed to crawl
upon the companion-ladder, giving q
terrified look around him.
Much surprised at the sight of the
wretched animal, the captain exclaimed,
"Whose dog can this be ?" and the in
quiry went round among the several
passengers and crew. No one owned
him, and the steward following him on
deck explained that he had found the
poor creature hidden away in an empty
berth. Captain NJ, kind and humane
man, proposed to adopt him as one of
the ships company, and setting him up
on his hind legs made a pretence of Civ
ing him dozen as punishment for his
coming on board as a stowaway, greatly
to the amusement of the children, and
then named him Jack.
A sailor creased his coat and set him
free from the pitch, making him look
more respectable and with good living
and kind treatment Jack soon recovered
his spirits and seemed, out ofgratitude,
to attach himself specially to the cap.

If spoken to in any other language
than English he would remain quite un
concerned, but Good dog" "Good
old fellow" would make him wag his
tail and look happy.
Before coming into the Mersey we
took in our pilot. Then asudden change
came over Jack, who had been a mos
quiet, peaceeble traveller ; he grew quite
excited, running up and down. on to the
bridge, and jumping up to get lool
over the side; so great was his evident
excitement the nearer we came to Liv

and after some time returned quite on

to give over the chase, Jack having Sc

was how the dogs instinct enabled hir

ADULTERATIoN OF FooD.-A case has
recently been decided in England which
shows at once the existence of extended
adulteration of food, and that the courts
are prepared to repress it, and punish
it If possible. A tradesman was sued
for having sold to the plaintiff asbutter
compound of lard, dripping fat, palm
oil, and oil from certain Seeds" He
had the GOODNESS to plead that he did
not represent the article to be pure, but
the court said that when, on being asked
for butter, tradesman handed an arti-
Gle across the counter, he thereby rep
resented that the article was butter, and
not mixture of the horrible ingredi-
ents mentioned in the case. The case
was decided on appeal for the plaintiff

Life in the Indian Territory.

Manners and superstitions in the In
dian Territory are, in many respects,
still thoroughly Indian. Hospitality is
unbounded, and as soon as an Indian of
wealth and station takes a wife, all her
relatives, even the most distant, come
to live on his estate, and remain for.
ever, or until they have impoverished
him. The tyranny of moth ers-in-law in
the Territory is something frightful to
contemplate. One Indian gave as his
reason for not wishing to get rich, the
torments which his relatives, in case he
married, would cause him. Food is
simple throughout all the nations.
Corn, ground with mortar and pestle,
furnishes the material for bread few
vegetables are grown and game, hogs,
and cattle are abundant The hog of
the Indian Territory is a singular ami
NAL. Having run wild all his life, he is
as distinguished for thinness as are his
brethren of civilization for corpulenee,
and his back well merits the epithet of
razor-edge applied to it. Stock feeds
| itself, winter and summer, and there is
rarely season when it is necessary to
put up any hay. In the winter of 1871
grass was green up to the middle of
December along the Arkansas bottom.
Marriage is gradually becoming an
institution among all the tribes, the eff
forts of the missionaries tending to en-
courage it but heretofore men and
women have simply chosen each other
as companions, and have lived together
and reared families. Usually young
man who has become enamored of a
maiden, ingratiates himself with he1
brother, or with near male relative,
and the latter intercedes with the
father. If the father considers the
sutton fayorably, he puts him on proba-
ton, and at the end of a certain tern
receives him, and presents him to the
daughter as her future husband. The
family relation seems much respected
and is guarded against disorganizatio1
by many excellent laws. 80. 40

Official Report Of the Wheat Cron

The Agricultural Bureau at Wash
lngton issue the following official report
OF the condition of the wheat crop
The winter wheat is mostly harvested.
Of 753 counties from which reports
have been received, POP are above the
average, 168 average and 381 below.
Of 300 counties reporting spring wheat
lob are above the average, lis average
and So below The average of winter
wheat is somewhat increased, though
many fields have been winter-killed
and ploughed up for spring wheat and
other crops. The acreage of spring
wheat is very largely increased, and
especially in the Northwest is unusually
promising.
The indications of the crop of 1873
e are considered at least equal to those of
June, 1872, when the Department esti-
mated the prospective crop at 900, OOO,-
900 bushels. Subsequent conditions OF
growth raised the first estimate of the
year in the annual report of 1872 moi
yet published to 249, 997, 02O bushels.
With equally favorably conditions the
yield may be safely set down at $780,.
100000 bushels. Insect ravages, how.
ever, are reported in the spring wheat,
indicating serious loss in some local..

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF.

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF.
If railroad director were dashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had
to take their own physic before admin
istering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. DR.. Joseph Walk
er, of California, took this course when
he first compounded the famous Vine
gar Bitters, which now ranks as an in
estimahle household remedy in all parts
of the United States. He healed him
self with this specific before he offered
it to the world. He introduced it with
a simple statement of the manner in
which he had discovered its vegetable
ingredients and been cured, while wan
dering, sick and poor, among the Cali
fornia tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for himself, and
few sufferers from dyspepsia, bilious
ness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and
many other prevalent disorders, be-
lieved him, tried the new restorative,
and were more than satisfied with the
results. In this way the sale of the Vine
gar Bitters began, and we mention the
fact as an evidence that in this age of
Intelligence and inquiry, nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove
pecuniary failure-even though it
may lack the help of capital, and have
to fight it's way against powerful OPP
posing interests. Within two or three
months after its introduction, the arti-
Gle became self-supporting, and it now
yields magnificent annual revenue.-

Chinese Funeral at BeIIeviIIe, n. ].
Peculiar Ceremonies over the Corpse Of n
Chinese LaundrymRn.

Chinese LaundrymRn.
Lu Ching Choo, who had served for
two years in Capt Harvey's laundry at
Belleville, n. J., died surrounded by
his friends and countrymen. Lu Ching
Choo had become a foreman and was
well liked by all his fellow washermen
in Belleville. On his death bed he COM
missioned theinterpreter of the laundry
to convey to his wife in the fowery
kingdom the intelligence of his death.
When he was at the point of death his
fellow-laundrymen gathered around the
bedside first to mutter in their vernacu-
lar fervent supplications to joss, and
! then to look on in melancholy silence at
the death struggle of their countrymen.
When he breathed his last there was a
loud Gathering of wooden shoes, for
those who mad surrounded the death bed
were fastening to their respective quar-
tiers in search of joss sticks which they
tremendously distributed among their
countrymen without distinction, wheth-
er faithful or Christianized. There was
hardly a word uttered. The Celestials
seemed to act automatically after the
death. p .....-.#. .-.<I.t
The next afternoon the corpse was
placed in freshly-bleached blouse and
a pair of baggy pantaloons. Its jet
black pigtail was arranged with taste ;
nor was the corpse wanting in new
pair of wooden shoes to make easy its
invisible journey to the Land of Flow
ers. Without a coffin or shroud, the
mortal remains of Lu Ching Ohoo were
borne slowly and silently down the
stairs of the laundry, followed by his
brethren. On reaching the place OF
burial the Celestials filed off in good or
der, and nearly formed a circle around
the grave. Lu Ching Choo was rever-
emily lowered iute the grave, and this
ceremony was followed by a jingling Of
strange prayers. Then the interpreter,
who seemed to superintend the burial
service, lighted pile of papers and
threw them into the grave. Each Of
the Cinnamon increased the burning
pile by throwing other pieces of paper
on it. They burned joss sticks and
piously cast them into the grave, Sc
that the soul of the departed might as
cend in the flames and smoke to realm
of perpetual happiness. After the GOV
ering Of the grave, prayers were NUT
tered, and two-cent. and one-cent pieces
were distributed among the spectators

No National Costumes at Vienna.


"We are rather disappointed" writes
a correspondent from Vienna, "in our
expectation of seeing people dressed in
the costumes of all nations among the
exhibitors and spectators. On the con-
trary, there was nothing to indicate that
we were on this side of the Atlantic in
the dress of any one, except two greasy
and dirty-looking Syrians, in their long
gowns, which we passed in the grounds.
All, even Turks, wore the European
dress, except that the latter retained
their red skull-caps, with long black
tassel hanging down. Even the Chinese
have cut off their tails, donned coats,
pantaloons, vest, necktie, and felt hat,

A Little too Late.

I suppose it is but it may be carried
to extremes, as, I think, the Drawer

been appointed to administer on the
estate of neighbor recently deceased,
I was greatly annoyed by solicitations
for an order for the graye-stones for the
departed. After some three or four
weeks a very gentlemanly marble
man" introduced himself, told me his
business, and asked for q"the job" ]
replied that as soon as it was known
a person was dangerously ill, ga grave
