PRETTY GOOD FOR A DOG.

Carlo and Dick are dog and cat in
Wilmington, Delaware. Firm Friend
ship exists between them. The cat ac-
cidentally got needle and thread into
IFS mouth while eating, which stuck IN
its throat. The dog, seeming to realize
poor pussy's predictment, set about to
remedy matters. Carlo commenced OPP
Grafton by licking the cats neck. The
licking operation continued all day on
Thursday. and at intervals through the
night, Carlo occasionally pausing to press
his tongue against the neck Of his feline
friend. as iftrying to force some sharp
pointed instrument on the inside through
the cats neck to the outside. Friday the
same operation was continued by Carlo.
until about four O'clock, when he was
seen with hiswhole body quiverlng with
excitement trying to.catch something pc
tween his teeth, III which Ne sllcceeded
and giving a sudden jerk he pulled the
needle through the skin ofthe cat, where
Il HING BY the thread which still held it
from 4he insida.o,T Thezreplainderof she
operation was performed by daughter
Of the family. The joy of Carlo knew no
bounds, and frisking his bushy tail about
and rubbing his shaggy sides against his
master. he showed his full knowledge Of
what he had done.

THE Constitutional Convention noun
tain was in travail twelve months. Some
of the sharp lawyers discovered early
that there was a little opening through
which an honest farmer or laboring man
might occasionally earn dollar without
toiiing for it in the heat of the sun or
sweating in the workshop. The old
Constitution provides for annual State
elections. Ninety-nine hundredths Of
the Judges of these elections are farmers
or working men, with sometimes mer-
chant or book-keeper or school-teacher
acting as clerk. For their services as
such, from six o'clock in the morning
until midnight, closely confined, receiv-
ing and counting out the votes, the law
allows them the enormous sum OF one
dollar and Etiy cents fer day! The dis
covery of this Grangers grab startled the
sixty-three lawyer delegates, and they
went to work with a will to stop the leak!
To accomplish greater reform in part
they propose to abolish one-half Of the
State elections, and at the same time in
crease the yearly salaries of those law
yers who may be elected Judges eighty
fzVo thousand dollars. The richest part
of the Joke is that these lawyers are APP
pealing through the press and vociferat-
ing on thelstImpa tS1 the conhding Gran
gers and working-men to ratify their
wonderful work Of rettehehment Ifa ~ Z
