Piloted by a Dog.

A few months since, writes q cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune, in
coming down the Ohio river, a gentle
man on the steamer informed me that
short time previously he was pass
ing over the Grand Chain, rocky
shallow on the Ohio, near its mouth.
He was conversing with the pilot.
The night was dark; the shore could
not be seen. The boat was moving
very slowly, feeling her way. The
pilot became restless and uneasy, and
ceased talking. Suddenly, however,
the barking. of dog was heard far
away on the shore. .l I
"There," said the pilot, Frightening
up, and quickly giving the wheel two
or three turns, "pm all right. I've
steered by the barking of that dog
every night I've passed here for five
years."
The cackling of geese saved Rome,
and the barking of dog told this
pilot just where he was, and what di-
rection to head his boat to avoid the
rocks; and this dog was the only bea-
con light or buoy to show the faithful
pilot how to direct his course to save
his valuable cargo and still more val
liable lives. A few weeks after this
conversation, the "Probasco," one of
our finest steamers; struck on these
same rocks, sunk, and vessel and car
90 were lost. 1 nD''i q

BY the arrival of the steamer Coco
pah on her last up-trip, Mr.. Neahr
received two fine Angora bucks, which
he imported from Watsonville, Cali
fornia, for James Peck, of Mohawk
station, who intends to cross them
with his flock of common goats.
These bucks are 15-16ths pure blood,
and are beautiful animals, with their
long, white, silky fleece. This is the
first introduction of the Angora goat to
be followed by others, as we know of
several enterprising men who contem-
plate going into the business. They
are said to multiply very fast when
they have the opportunity, and Ari-
IONA is the very country for them, pos
sessing in climate and range all that
could be desired for their propagation.
Go into this business, men of Arizona
who have nothing else to do; there is
untold wealth in it.-[Yuma Sentinel.

all these remarks in an absent.minded way,
as If suddenly ho had become lifted above
any such petty ambition of considering
himself fine athlete.
After dinner Conlkling led his guests
into the gymnasium for general smoke
and chat "Come," said he pleasantly to
Chandler, don't you want another bout
with the gloves - and then Conkling
laughed again in his most cheerful, turkey
gobbler style, as he put on a pair Of
gloves.
" don't want to box, said Chandler;
"but perhaps my friend here would con
sent to amuse YOU Turning to Dir. How
ard Chandler remarked, q You box, do you
not?"
Mr.. Howard looked sad.cyed and absent
minded He did once know something
about it, but it was such long while ago,
Come, come" said Conkling, "let us
have friendly bout. / won't hurt you"
Evidently the great New York Senator
was pining to knock some one down. Mr.
Howard, evidently fattered at the prospect
of being even knocked down by SO distin-
guished n man, began to slowly put on
pair of gloves.
AS he was drawing on the gloves Chand-
Ter was observed to walk down little to
the background. A contented look was
upon his face, and every now and then he
would raise his huge right foot up under
his swaying voluminoas coat-tal and give
himself a congratulatory kick, expressive
of rapture. The sad-eyed man now came
forward, and the round began. Conkling
was for proceeding at once to knock his
opponent down, and would have dono so
had he not found great difficulty in getting
anywhere near the sad-eyed man. The af-
fair eliminated by the sad-eyed mans sud
denly rushing forward and landing thun-
derbolt of a fist between Conkling's eyes.
The Senator went over like great tree,
and rolled into the corner of the room,
where he lay for moment stunned by the
concussion. He was heard to say after
ward that he thought house had fallen
on him. Conkling had enough of boxing
for once
Judge of Conkling's feelings the next
day when he learned that Chandler had
played a joke upon him by giving Mr..
Howard 800 to come up and bounce Conk-
ling. The Mr.. Howard, of Detroit, Michi-
gan, was none other than the notorious
pugilist, Jem Mace.

A Difference.

Forty years ago rumors in Washington
imputing misconduct to members of Con-
gress were seldom in circulation. A CORES
pondent, then residing in the city, heard
only one report prejudicial to the charac-
ter of either Senator or member of the
House of Representatives. And as its
dsnoumsnt illustrated the sagacity of SEN
ator Grundy, of Tennessee, it is given.
The correspondent was seated in that
Senator'S room, when gentleman entered,
and said
" A report is in circulation highly injuri-
GUS to the character of Senator of tho
United States"
"Stop," said Mr.. Grundy, before it is
stated l will make a prediction. If
Western Senator is implicated, the govern
ment has been cheated out of public land !;
if the Senator involved is from the South,
negro has been wronged but if there is
some trick concerning a patent right, the
Senator is from New England" .ai..
The facts being stated, itappeared that
Senator from New England State had
charged one Of his constituents ten dollars
for obtaining patent for an improvement
in door locks. This deviation from pro-
priety forty years ago caused more denun-
citation than that awakened at this day by
. well known disreputable practice of Sen
ators and members Of Congress who re-
ceive fees for the exercise of their influence
to procure appointments, or to cover up
official delinquency.

Chandler's Joke.

A WASHINGTON letter writer tells
IA the following good joke on Conk-
ling:
"Chandler's great hobby is his skill as
pugilist. Roscoe Conkling is also great
boxer. He has private gymnasium in
his residence at Washington, where after
dinner he invites such of his friends as are
gymnastically inclined for friendly little
bout with the gloves. Conkling is very
good amateur boxer, and as he is very
large, powerful man, he generally has it in
his own way with the guests who are bold
enough to. put the gloves on with him. -
For some time it was an open dispute be-
tween Chandler and Conkling which was
the better boxer Of the two. Chandler
would, after every dinner party of which
he was member, calmly assert that he
could lick any man of his weight in the
United States st..-...,...
One day last winter Chandler dined with
Conkling, and the latter inveigled the
great war senator into the private gymna-
stun. The gloves were donned and the
two doughty champions began to make
graceful senatorial passes toward one an
other according to the most approved rules
Of the p. r. The bout, however, was of
very short duration. Chandler suddenly re-
ceiyed blow between tho eyes, which
caused the huge senatorial form to 60 over
backward his trusty legs failed him, and
then he sat down SO hard that the tears
came out of his eyes. 1t took four men to
get the war senator upon his legs, but he
threw up the sponge at once.
Conkling and Chandler were much to-
gether in social way, and It was not long
after the above occurrence whom Chandler
received another invitation to come up TO
his house and spread his legs under Conk-
ling's social board. Chandler sent back
word that be regretted very much his in
ability to be present, but he. had at his
house guest, valued constituent from
Michigan, and he could not leave him.
Conkling sent back word, +" Bring your
friend along" With this form Of invita-
tion Chandler consented to come up. He
brought his friend with him, and introduce
ed him as Mr.. Howard, Of Detroit
Conkling was in a great giee during the
dinner. He told over and over again the
story Of Chandler's discontinue as box
er, and never seemed to tire Of asking him
what he thought Of his ability 70 lick any
man in the United States. Chandler took

once more and broke his ankle and down

Of the window and escaped.
"of course, secured my man, recover

that he had been wrong, for the robbers
had first gone to the office, and came to my
house only when they found the safe

prisoner that our bools-keeper was one of
their gang, and posted them about our af-
fairs. The book-kceper did not come to
work that morning, nor have we ever seen

WOmanIy Modesty.

Men love the mysterious A oloudless
sky, the full.blown rose, leaves him un-
moved but the violet which hides its
blushing beauties behind the bush aud the
moon, when she emerges from behind
cloud, are to him sources of inspiration and
pleasure. Modesty is to merit, what shade
is to figure in painting-it gives it boldness
and prominence. Nothing adds more to
female beauty than modesty it sheds
around the countenance' ahaIo Of light
which is borrowed from virtue. Botanists
have given the rosy hue which tinges the
cup Of the rose the name OF "maiden
blush." This pure and delicate hue is the
only paint that Christian virtue should use;
1t is the richest ornament A woman
without modesty is like faded flower
which diffuses an unwholesome odor, and
which the prudent gardner will throw away
from him. Her destiny is melancholy, for
It ends in shame and repentance. Beauty
passes like the flower Of the aloe, which
blooms and dies in few hours, but modes
ty gives the female character charms which
supply the place of the transitory fresh
ness Of youth.
