Another Intelligent Canine.

A Santa Rosa, Cal, paper tells story
which shows that a chance dog has more
soul than some men. The dog, an in
telligent pointer, was travelling on a
railroad train with his master. When
the train arrived at Santa Rosa, Edward
Scanlan was not aboard, but his dog
was and appeared to be in great dis
tress. After the train had gone on he
lay down on the track and whined, and
ran up the track as if he were chasing a
phantom and returned and whined and
paved the feet of several people pit
eously. At last a man resolved to put
himself under the guidance and direc-
ton of the dog, and followed him three
miles up three road. Here the body OF
Edward Scanlan was found, cut almost
in two. It was put in box and the
dog mounted the box, and SO rode home
The account further states that since
the funeral the dog seems heart broken
and utterly refuses food. & 80

Snow Dreams.
BY Ct. ?. LATHROP.

BY G.. P. LATHROP.
Last night it showed; and Nature fell asleep;
Forest and field lie tranced in gracious
dreams
Of growth, for ghosts of leaves long dead, it
seems,
Hover about the boughs; and the wild winds
sweep
Ger whitened fields, full many hoary heap,
From the storm-harvest, sown by silent
streams!
With beauty of crushed clouds the cold earth
teens.
And winter a fertile-seeming truce would
keep.
But such ethereal slumber may not blde
The ascending sums bright scorn-not long,
I fear; -''-.'
And all it's Visions on the golden tide
Of mid noon gliding off, shall disappear.
Fair dreams, farewell! So, in life's stir and
pride, ...
You fade-and leave the treasure of tear
-GalGIy for January.

A Scientist Under Arrest for Murder.

A West Virginia jail holds New
York scientist named Forsythe charged
with the murder of one Barton, of
Philadelphia, his companion on visit
to Webster county. Together, For
sythe claims, they assembled local
peak, a high, lonely, out-of-the way
knob, for the purpose of examining
some curious meteoric stones said to be
found in the neighborhood. While
there meteoric shower overlook them,
one missile striking Barton on the fore
head with such violence as to kill him
and leave such wound in appearance
as would be made by pistol ball. The
story does not save him from incarcera-
ton, and now he appeals to scientists
the country over to investigate the mat
ter, and is confident that his innocence
will be fully vindicated.

NANCY'S ENGAGEMENT.

They hung heavy plumes of purple
over that little gateway that bright
afternoon-the first of June A chart
table breeze swept one scented bunch of
bloom bit aside, just out of the reach
of little brown hand that had a mo-
ment ago ruthlessly stripped off half its
blossoms.
But the owner of the hand had al
ready turned about, with toss Of her
black curls and firt of her pink calico
dress that scared away the butterflies,
and before the branch swung back she
was fastening up the trim garden path,
and, finging back sharp speech over
her shoulder at tall, sunburnt young
fellow who, with a ve1ed light in his
eyes, stood watching her.
"Oh, it don't matter what I think |!
Indeed / don't think at all. You may
take whom you like to the next May
dance; you won't take me-" aa
It was such pretty shoulder over
which these words were cast, and there
was such rosy flush of anger on the
round cheek half yelled in curls, that it
lis no wonder John Armitage took two
or three steps in pursuit of the speaker;
but he stopped, drew himself up with
sudden pride, and said one reproachful
word. $40 - a
"Nancyi'", hae
The one addressed wavered little in
her retreat, then resumed it with in
creased CELEBRITY.
"Will you stop and listen to me?
the young man queried; his rising in.
dignation somewhat modifying his tone
of appeal. - a
"No land the pink calico swept the
nyrtles onaeither side of the walk faster
yet. .esjA.e- ss.ta1 80 = -.
/" Very well, y was the angry response,
as he who pleaded turned toward the
gate. !" But mark my words, you'll be
sorry for this before these bushes here
brushing the low spray sharply aside
* are out of bloom Now, goodbye. %

Sold Again.

The feat of Lieut.. Zubowitz, who
rode from Vienna to Paris, on one horse,
IN fifteen days, has made that gentleman
celebrity. He was invited to dine
with the marshal, and any number of
dinners were given him by the members
of the Austrian colony The dinner of
adieu will be offered by the Jockey club.
[ mention this in order to note two clever
tricks. There seems to be class of
f0rcealrs here who spend their time in
getting credit for the feats of others for
the purpose of enjoying a momentary
notiety. The morning after the lieuten-
ants arrival two men called at the Office
of the Figaro, one acting as interpreter,
saying teat he had come to introduce his
friend Zubowitz. The latter could not
speak word of French, he said, and
he ratified off the story of the trip. The
two enjoyed the hospitality of the Figa-
70, and left in high spirits. The re-
porter published an account of the in
terview. The real Zubowitz, who
speaks French like all Hungarians, was
at that hour at the Austrian embassy,
and the Figaro was victimized by two
clever jokers. This was nothing, how
ever, to the trick played upon the Mar
quis Andori, a noted lover of horsefesh
A man came to offer him Caradoc, the
horse ridden from Vienna, and as the
animal had been announced for sale the
Marquis made the purchase. The next
morning the man came with Lieut.
Zubowitz" "who could speak no
French" and after some bargaining the
Marquis bought "Caradoc,' for II, 900
francs. When he announced his acqui-
sition at the jockey club the Marquis
learned that he had been victimized by
sharpers, and found that the animal he
had purchased was one sold at latter
sails that morning for less than 1000
francs. M. D'Androi was so angry that
he sent the poor brute to the equine
butchery to Returned into hippographic
sausages as quickly as possible. Paris
