Difey's Dog.

Almost everybody in town has heard of jim
my Dittey's dog Duplex. TTe had a thousand
tricks, but none that were 'svain." Catching
ball and all that sort of business afforded him
much pleasure. Max. hut IL single motion as
though throwing something i'm the air, and Dn-
pick was all attention. His nose was aloft in
a moment. and his ears We're vibrating ''six
ways for Sunday" while his tail was extraor-
dinarily infiexible. When he had fallen into
were not needed by him until he became con-
WINGED that he was not going to hear anything
drop. Not only in this but also in many other
respects the dog was study. Well. poor Du-
pick is dead now. Last Sunday afternoon the
Chinese residents of this place rendered their
Gumboots an ovation, in which tire-crackers
and bombs largely pfetlominated.
Jimmy Diffey went down to Chinatown to
see this blowout, Duplex followipga at his heels.
Hardly had the Joss-house been reached, when
Chinese worshipper of the cross-eved god,
above mentioned threw high into the air one Of
those wicked spherical, wicker-covered bombs,
thing which 10 other II: ton except the Chi
nese would ever have thought OF inventing.-
Poor Duplex saw the ball ascend, aud rushed
forth from his masters side, confident that as a
trained deg he was expected 10 do his duty
The ball had not yet done descending when Du-
plex was underneath it, squatted npon his
iIlulICtiCS) IiOSC CIV
tail lying out along the ground as stiff as a
small! crowbar. In vain did Mr.. Diffey shout
and call: s.Here, Duplex! You Duplex! Get
out! Come here! All. your Duplex knew toe
well what under similar circumstances had al
ways been expected ef him-knew his duty
AS the kissing sphere reached its greatest al
titude, paused the fractional part OF a second
and then began its descent. the slightest bit Of
tremor imaginable was to be observed in the
extreme point Of the tail of the alert animal
then, as the ball descended nearer and nearer
he was as firm AS rock-he was accurately
measuring his distance. At the exact and
critical moment, Duplex darted from the
ground, straight AZ All arrow from the bow,
his rigid. welcomed tail pointing directly te
the ground, and his mouth open to its widest
capacity. Down between the distended jaws
of the dog fell the bomb. ''Drop it, yeu ras
calp' shouted Mr.. Diffey, 'dropit, drop it, sir'
But Duplex did not drop it. heavy. dull ex
plosion was heard-a sort of thnd-and Du
pick, where was lie? The greater part of hin
lay where the explosion occurred, but one Of
his eyes was sent across the street, through tn,
window Of Hop Lock, the Chinese doctor, thu
end of his nose fell in the boudoir of Miss. Sol
Chow, and shower OF teeth rained in the mea
market and pig-killing establishment Of the ia

General Boynton of the Cincinnati Gazette,
says it is well known in Washington that Carl
Schurz has no sympathy with the Democratic
party, and that in all essential particulars he
is thoroughly Republican,. 1t is added;
His friends fully expect him to be one of
the most prominent workers against the Dem
ocrats in the coming national campaign, pro-
vided the Republicans nsniriate a man not con-
nected with what may be termed the abuses
OF the last few years. And this, unless all
signs now visible here shall fail, Repub licans
are almost sure to do. General Schurz be-
ieyes that there are candidates of higl, ability
and unquestioned fitness available to the Pres
idential nomination fnr wf1orn the entire

For the Virginian.
What the Little Bird Sang.
Translated for the Little FelIs.
A little bird sang in balsam tree,
Happy as any wee bird could be;
The sunlight golden and clear,
Flooded the balsam where he was singing!
know he thought that summer was here,
By the resonant air he was singing.
Oh, now he sang and he sang such song,
Like crysteline ripple, clear and long,
That it seemed to me,
Like bubbles OF sound,
Dashed in the foam of the sea-
And it nodded, and firted its dainty head
And what gush Of melody RIPPED
In the bright air overhead.
have key
To the language of BIRDS
And little ones, if you will list
Twill tell
What the little bird sang unto me.
For prelude musical swell,
That threaded the air,
Like curling ribbon Of mist,
Summer. Summer is herei
How blue and teir
Is the sky,
lean fly and fly,
Up so high!
And the air is so warm,
The cloud that carried a storm,
am sure has left the world.
Only the white clouds curled,
And piled like mountains OF snow,
Dipped in the suns gold glow,
Come out little flowers!
Oh. why do you linger So long?
You are missing these golden hours,
Come out little flowers, why tarry so Tonga
Come out, and I'll sing you song
Oh where are you hidden the ground is bare
And cannot see you anywhere.
You are lste my white queen rose,
Just put out your head, and see
How warm the South wind blows.
All. me! ali. me!
think that nobody knows,
But me, that Summer is here,
have heard that if should go
Toward the bright north star, should ind,
Great heaped up banks Of snow,
It's only the gossip Of some old bird,
Not fit for bird like me to hear.
Abolish tale to be heard,
By those who are willfully blind,
Lilly white,
cannot but laugh outright,
You sleep as il it were night,
So you need not fear.
To come out in your gala dress,
Summer is here. Summer is here
Little girl, little girl;
Don't you feel the pleasant winds
Lifting each golden curl
Your rose bud cheeks to kiss?
Now little girl, you can play,
In the Sunshine the livelong day.
Quiet and sill mouse,
You know how long you have has to stay.
Gagged UP in the dreary house,
See how high,
Little girl,
can fly,
The great blue sky,
Is the only roof above me-
And the winds and the sunlight,
Oh how they love me.
The world is wide
No dismal wals to hide
The world from me,
Think little girl as fly,
How happy must be!
With little airy Dirt and dip,
Wings spread like the sails of ship.
BRIDES farewell,
With music trilI and swell,
Come floating down,
From her arrowy flight in the sky,
Up up she scared so high,
That she seemed but spec in the sky,
And thus, little ones, by magical key,
knew what the little bird sang unto me.

on.s little girl of the town
Lay on the pavement;
Only-he struck her down,
That's what the knave meant,
Who would have missed her,
Had she died o. the blown
Yetnot long ago
Some one called her sister
Only a girl of the town
She'd taken hold OF him;
Spat upon the lady's gown;
What had she told Of himf
Had he not flung her away?
Well, she was surely wrong:
Yet it is not so long
Since he led her .stray.

For your amusement?

Will God refuse thee

old Ben Wade Governor, and if an election
were to be held in Indiana this year, the Dem.

Rules for Bank Customers.

The following rules are recommended to the
attention of those who do bushes at the banks.
They will be the means Of saving great deal
of time and annoyance : by not following
Them
If you have any busin ,ss with bank, put it
off until O'CLOCK, or il possible little late,
as it looks more business like to rush in just as
the bank is closing.
Never put stamps on your checks before you
get to the bank, but give the teller two cents
and ask him to lick it and cancel it for you ;
the teller expects to lick all the stamps, and it
is source Of disappointment to him when peo-
pie insist on doing it themselves, and will save
him buying his lunch.
In depositing money try and get il upside
down and wrong end foremost, SO that the tel
Ter may have little exercise in Strengthening
it up before counting it.
It is best not to take your bank book with
you, but call at another time and have it en-
tered. You can thus make two trips to the
bank where one would answer.
If a check is made payable to your order, be
careful not to endorse it before handing it to
the teller, but let him return it to you and wait
While you endorse it this helps to pass the
time and is a pleasure and relief to the teller.
You can generally save time when making a
deposit by counting down your money to the
teller, as you can nearly always count more
speedily aud correctly than he can.
If you make deposit Of 800 and give q
check for s50,it is a good thing to call frequent
ly at the bank and ask how your account stands,
as it impresses the officers favorably with your
business qualifications.
Never Keep any record of when your notes
fall due, and thep if they are protested censure
the bank for not giving you notice.
Always date your checks ahead; it is never
falling sign that you keep q balance in bank, or
if you do not wish it generally known that you
are doing good business, do not deposit your
money until about the time you expect your
check will be in.
A strict observance Of the foregoing rules
will make your accounts desirable for any
bank. and make you general tavorits with al!
the bank officers.
