L ONE DOG COMMUNICATES GOOD
NEWS Tp ANOTHER.


In the fall of 1861, my son, Sidney
G., entered the Federal army. leav-
ing behind him two favorite dogs, beth
OF whom greatly lanented his absence.
He was soon captured by the eher&y
and held prisoner untiI the spring of
1852; when he was exchanged, and on
returning to his command came past
the old homestead in the country, in
BollInger county, Mo. Both the dogs
happened to be about 800 yards from
the house, barking up tree at squir-
rel. After some time, however, the
sLnaiier one became tired aud came TO
the mouse, the larger remaining at the
tree. Ihe fellow came bounding in
Ine room where his young master, who
hau oeen So long absent, was sitting.
and recognized him, and, of course, had
quite 4 taking over MIN. The pleas
ure O. once more meeting his kind
master was too great to be enjoyed all
alone, SO he quickly turned his course
in the direction of his companion in
the the woods, and in all speed made
his way to the tree, and eommunicat-
ed to the large dog the fact of his young
masters arrival home, when, IN an IN
slant, both the dogs We're making for
the house with all their might, the
larger one, who had remained atthe tree
taking the lead, and not Stacking his
speed until he bounded in the room
where Sidney was. The strange part
of this story consists in the fact that
the small dog not only communicated
to the large one the fact that
Sidney had come home, but in some
way told him thel.identical room in
which he weuld find him, as he ran
around the house and in at the very
door5where. Sidney was sitting without
ever. halting or even turning his head
towards several doors which he had to
pass in making the eircuit.-ST.LoUIs

i A. FLORIDA acorFesP in the
course of an interesting communica-
ton regarding Florida fisheries says,
'sFhe best fishermen in Florida are the
pelicans and ospfevs. A pelican con-
suirnes about a peck of fish day. They
flock about the ihIets and straits by
Thousands. a .SupposinS there are q
600, 600 pelicans in FIorida-and there
are certainly more than that-they
would eat 500 900, bushels of fiAh each
day, or 1S2.500000 bushels per year.
The millions upon millions of white
and blue cranes, herons, eurlews, gullR,
fsh-hawks, kihg6shers and other wa
ater=fowls deyour Thousands of bushels
of fish every fRenty-foHE hours. An
experienced Cracker estimates that
800, 600 bushels of fish a day are re-
quired to feed the birds of Florida
alone. This would make 225, 100000
bushels each year. Add to this the
billions of fish swallowed by sharks,
bass and others. and the sum total will
reach nearly. 2, 900 000, 900 bushels de-
stroyed by feathered and fnny fisher
men, on the Peninsula in twelve
months, ~ At first glance these figures
appear, enormous. but j let any, man
make his 20 Rn estimate, and carefully
figure it ap, and he will fndthem un-
derIinstead ofoover. - Plata Ledger.

+ THERE are certain peculiar occur
rences which could only happen in
certain corners of the universe, and
perhaps, Massachusetts may claim as
many of these peculiarities any other
corner. In Sprinfield, the other night,
at prayer meeting, IAN old deacon was
offended by fashionable bonnet and
feather which Ioomed up before him.
He could not get an unobstructed view
all around the church to see how the
congregation were behaving, and fret
ted so much that he found it in vain
fix his mind upon eternal things. ron
the contrary, he became filled with
rage of the earth, earthly, and ordered
the female form that propped up the
offending bonnet to leave the church.
She declined to leave her own pew and
the irritated deacon had her forthwith
put out, because, as he stated, the bon
net was in the way of his seeing the
minister. After the bonnet was re-
moved worship went on lovely. The
lady ought to have a good strong male
who wears a No. 8 boot.

cutting two side shoots from each
stalk when it il. five to- seven inches

mellow garden soil. In q few days
they send out roots, and form tubers

The proverbiaI skill of the Chinese.

to- everybody ;but it appears that the
Hindoof are not behind their neigh
bors in that kind of enterprise. The
nativGEgun manufacturers of. f.India
would soon outfivat the British " york
men themselves. IL the Government OF
Calcutta did not think that, for politi-
cal reasons this was branch of indus
try not to be encouraged in the native
Indian subjects of England. Such
was the opinion expressed by Lord
Mayo, when he was lately shown an
Enfield rife converted into a Snfder,
by a village blacksmith of Sealkote.
The Fiob" was done to such perfection
that il was difficult to detect the diff
ference between the Government
Sniders and the one manufactured by
the native Sealkote blacksmith, though
he had himself to make the whole OF
the breeeh piece, including springs.

Bancroft tells us in history, t'the tri-
.colored American banner, not yet span
gled with stars, but showing thirteen
stripes of alternate red and white in
the field and the united red and white
crosses of St. George and st. Andrew
on blue ground in corner, was un-
furled" at Boston. Tt was not until
eighteen months after, this first at
tempt that the badge Of England dis
appeared from the new ensign. EOn
the l4tha of June, I777, the crosses
were struck out; on that day Congress
resolved that the flag of the thirteen
United States should be thirteen
stripes alternate red and white that

a blue field representing a new con-
stellation.'' The -Heraldy was origin
al, but the idea was excellent, and it

A CONTEMPORARY says: A newspaper
and a newspaper editor that people
don't talk about and sometimes abuse,
are rather poor concerns. The men
that all editor sometimes feels it du-
ty to defend ct q risk of making enc
mics of another class, are often the
first to show ingratitude. The editor
who expects to receive much charity
or gratitude will soon find out his
mistake; but he should go ahead and
say and do Whist he conscientiously
thinks right without regard to frowns
or smiles.
