CANINE INTELLIGENCE.

A Radnorshire lady who was mar
ried in March, and came to reside in
Yorkshire, recently paid a visit to her
father, who, before she was married,
had kept two or three sheep dogs, of
which she was very fond. Since then
he has retired from business, and dis
posed of all but one dog, This one
met the lady with demonstrations of
great delight upon her arrival at her
fathers house, and that night the
dog went distance of seven miles to
a farmhouse where one of the other
dogs had been sent (the latter was
blind, but kept as being an old favor
ite.) In the morning, when the lady
went to the door, she saw, not only
the dog which had given her such IA
glad reception the day previously, but
also the old blind one, which had evil
dently been brought by the other dog
to welcome her. When the second
night came the old blind one was Ia
ken back TO its home by the same
dog, which afterwards returned, hav-
ing travelled distance of twenty eight
miles to give pleasure to the blind
one.-LdRd and Water.

Nom n-In.porf0tiOn Of cattle.

From statements which appear in our
English journals. it seems that the
United States government has prohibited
the further importation of cattle (or OF
raw hides from neat cattle) from Great
Britain to this country until further no.
tice. The text of the order of prchibi
ton has not yet reached England. ''The
American minister has received a tels-
gram from the state department at
Washington, to the effect that treasury
minute has been issued prohibiting such
importation, and instructing him to give
publicity to the fact. 1t is understood
that this step has been taken on account
of the prevalence of foot and Mouth
disease in the United Kingdom" 1t
strikes us a little singular that no pub
lie intimation of this important action
should have been given at home, and
that we are left to get our news of ii
from foreign newspapers.

Abandoned women,

Yes, kick her down as low as posi-
bic. Don't give her chance to rise
and invade respectable society again
She has been tried and tempted, and
she has fallen from the holy estate of
innocence, and it behooves every vir-
tuous woman to see to Ii that she Is
not allowed to breathe the foul malaria
of her presence among the pure of her
sex.
There is contamination in her
touch. There is moral darkness and
degradation in her presence. Be-
ware of her as you would one smitten
with the plague.
When she passes by. or when her
disgraced name is mentioned, wrap
your plous garments around you, and
let the brush of shame tinge your
maiden cheek, and the pocket hand
kerchief of insulted modesty cover
your face.
Men will deem you modest, and do
not men adore modesty in woman,
and do they by any act of theirs de-
stroy that quality in female character?
Oh, no. Certainly not. We all know
that the world of men at large are
equally as careful of the character of
the young eirls with whom they as
sociate as they would be if these same
girls were their own grandmothers.
To be sure
Always think of the abandoned
woman at her worst. Never for a
moment indulge the idea that there
may be good life in hers. The days
when it was possible for good to come
out of Nazarath" are passed away
She has fallen-let her be where
] she has chosen her place. In the
mud of the gutter. under the fiaring
| gaslght in the wintry streets, in the
waters of the river-do not trouble
your fair hands about her She has
made her bed, so let her lie; so let her
| lie."
You can pity the poor heathen in
| foreign lands, and knit stockings for
the goddess inhabitants of the tropics,
and send Bibles and tracts to the
South Sea Islanders, and put pennies
! in the mission box to enlighten the
Hindoo as he goes out to east himself
| beneath the wheels of Juggernaut. but
with these wretched heather at your
very gates you have nothing to do.
Your eyes must be blind to the sad
fact of their existence. and If per
chance they cry out for help-you
| must not forget that you are ylrtu-
Gus woman, and as such your ears
must be deaf
Smile your sweetest on the men that
have made them what they are, and
ignore the certainty that there is temp
tations in the world to which you
have never been exposed. Your gilt
edged gold clasped Bible holds 70,
you no lesson of mercy and forgive
| ness, for you read it in heart set in
judgement, and your idle eyes have
never paused to rest with grave con
sideration upon the sentence, For
the greatest of all there is charity. -

Snecial disnatches from Madeira Z

Special dispatches from Madeira TO
the London morning journals give the
following additional particulars of the
burning of the emigrant ship Cospat
rick: The fire broke out at midnight
November II, and within half an hour
enyeloped the vessel for nearly its en-
tire length. The sceue was one of the
widest confusion. But two boats
succeeded in getting away, each of
which contained thirty persons.
These remained along side of the ship
until the 10Th of November, when the
hull was completely burned and the
vessel sunk The two boats then
started for the land They kept to-
gether for two days, when gale sep
arated them. One of thela has not
since been heard Of The other was
fallen in with by the British ship
Sceptre. At that time il contained
| five persons, two of whom died before
the Sceptre reached ST. Helena
Further details of the Cospatrick
disaster have been received. When
the vessel was discovered TO be ON fire
eighty persons mostly women. rushed
/ into Que Of the boats, which was cap
I sized, and all in her were drowned
Soon afterwards all the masts fell
! killing many of the passengers. An
explosion subsequently occurred in the
stearn OF the vessel. completing the
| destruction. The total number OF
lives lost by the disaster is now esti-
mated at 474.

Ans Asfonished Heather.

Yesterday, while the gale was at its
height, a curious accident occurred on
Union street A nobby-looking Chi
naman was walking behind young
lady dressed in the extreme agony of
the fashion, when a sudden gust of
wind blew the Celestials tail forward
and wrapped the end of it around the
lady's neck. Being frightened, she
grabbed the end of the queue to snatch
It away, but she pulled in the wrong
direction. The Chinaman also made
a grab to recover his property. but he
also was out of luck, as he got hold of
one of those long curls which are usu-
ally seen hanging down from water
falls, as we'll as of his queue. and
when he took pull at it the whole of
the lady's top hair, hat and all, came
off. The lady's head had no hair on
it, only little that was gathered into
a small knot that stood erect, like the
sealp-lock of a Piute brave. Ifever
you saw a Chinaman astonished at
what he had done. it was that man

You have heard, perhaps. of the
clerk who had faithfully served
Stephen Girard from boyhood to man
hood. On the 2lst anniversary OF his
birthday he went to his master and
told him his time was up. and he GER
tainly expected important promotion
in the merchant sservice. But Stephen
Girard said to him:
Very well. Now go and learn a
trade
What trade, sir?'
Good barrels and butts must be in
demand while you live. Go and learn
the cooper's trade, and when you have
made perfect barrel bring it to me. y
The young man went away and
learned the trade, and in time brought
to his old master splendid barrel of
his own make.
Girard examined it, and gave the
maker two thousand dollars for it,
and then said to him:
Now, sir, [ want you in my count
ing room; but heneeforth you will not
be dependent upon the whim of
Stephen Girard. Let what will come,
you have good trade always in re-
serve
The young man saw the wisdom and
understood.
Years ago. when the middle-aged
men of to-day were boys, Horace
Greeley wrote:
1t Is a great source OF consolation
to Us that when the public shall be
tired of US as en- editor, we can make
satisfactory livelihood at setting type
or farming: so that while our strength
lasts ten thousand blockheads. taking
offence at some article they do not
understand, could net drive Us into
| the poor house.
And so many a man becomes truly
independent.

From the Detroit Free Press.


The other day a well dressed
stranger. carryinga hand valise, called
into a life insurance Office and inquir-
ed if the agent was in. The agent
came forward, rubbing his hands, and
the stranger asked:
DO you take life insurance risks
here?'
Yes. sir; glad 10 see you, sir-sit

What do you think of life insur

How much will a $1,000 policy

Yes, this is mutual company. and

That's the figure, and it's as low
as you can get sale insurance any
