"When the question of U. S. Sena.

him. At this he wrote letters to all
his acquaintances setting forth the fact
that great popular outbreak in his
favor might confidently be expected.
He had been quoted by some of the
papers as o lawyer. He is really a
farmer aud a good one. He is kind
hearted, charitable old gentleman who
has no qualification for Governor. His
extreme vanity and charming simplici-
ty would make him the dupe and tool

A Dogs Memory OF Friends.

The Ravenna, Ohio. Democrat says
"Several years ago large shepherds
dog came to the residence of a family
in one of the townships in Portage
county. He had been wounded ap
parenfly by having the whole blade of
an axe buried in his body, back of the
shoulder-blade. He came to the fam
ilv mansion thus wounded, dragging
himself painfully along md moaning
piteously. He was strange dog, no
such animal being known III the ylcln-
ity. The family had compassion on
him, closed and dressed his severe
wound as best they could, he, during
the dressing, expressing to the good
Samaritans his gratitude by his looks.
moaning all the while. He recovered
and remained with the family long
time, no owner being known. He
proved to be a very intelligent and
valuable animal. The family became
very much attached to him, as he did
to them, but having no need Tor such
dog they subsequently sold him to
passing drover of sheep and cattle.
Two wears after the sale, the same
drover passed that way with a drove of
sheep, this shepherd dog aiding III the
labor of driving. When the drove had
reached point about quarter Of a
mile distant from the residence of his
benefactor, he suddenly left his post of
duty and ran by the drove,
passing between the fence and
the drove of sheep, and when he reach
ed the house of his old friends he
bounded into the yard, ran to the
house, and with such expressions of
Joy and gladness as dogs can give he
passed from member to member OF the
family, there being SIX or seven III
number, old and young, leaP1lng up and
placing his fore feet on the breast and
licking the face of each. This done he
turned and left as suddenly as he had
come leaped the, fence, resumed his
plrce in the drove, and the family new
er saw him more. Is it surprising that
after this act of grateful recognition he
left his tenefactors in tears This is
an indisputable authenticated fact.

English Sleeping-Cars.

For the first time in the history of
the country sleeping car was run on a
British railway in the month of Febru-
airy, 1873. No one will be surprised to
learn that the affair was vastly inferior
to those in such general use IN America.
The London News gives description
Of the single car thus far in use. It is
thirty feet long, about half the length
of 6 Pullman sleeper" One end is
devoted to a luggage compartment. the
other to an ordinary second class com.
partment. The part devoted to sleaping
arrangements is eighteen feet in length,
IN two saloons, each giving accommo-
dation to three passengers. There
IS apparently no partition or curtains
between the beds, so that IN
less there is party of three to take
compartment, one or more of the beds
must be unoccupied, provided the
travellers are at all particular about
their sleeping companions. The most
singular thing about this single Sleep
ing car, owned by a company that
operates more than eight hundred miles
of railway, is. that it is not proposed
to run it regularly, but only when it
has been specially bespoken. 1t is in
terestlng to learn that the doors of the
car open in such a way that the occu.
pant OF either bed may go out without
stepping over anybody; but to do so
he is obliged to dismount at the foot
of his own bed, as the three mattresses
touch each other at the side, and fill up
the whole space between the sides of
the car.
