sheep and Dogs.

Nearly $4,000 sheep are reported
to have been killed by dogs the past
year. Probably enough more not re.
ported were killed to swell this to
100000, there are large districts not
reported. In some parts OF the South
west l understand that ool-growing
has been abandoned on account Of
the destruction OF tie sheep by these
useless animals. And az the same
time there are vast ranges tor the
sheep unoccupied.
So great has the loss been in every
neighborhood all over the country
that the question OF giving up sheep
raising has often been seriously con-
sidered by farmers who grow fin
wooded sheep, each OF which is worth
more than the whole number of dogs
III All entire county. The laws thus
far enacted tor the protection of sheep
against dogs have not effected the
good our Legislators have attempted
to accomplish; and the wool interest
is now exposed to the same hazards
that it was betorl the matter became
the subject OF Legislation. What to
do with the dogs is as puzzlins a
question as ever. They are the most
expen. i've animals Oh the face OF the
earth. The service they render is in
tinitesimal by the side Of the immense
damages they intlict on one OF the
most productive industries Of the
country. We have tried making the
owners of dogs pay Tor the damas es
their tavorites commit; we have tried
two modes, at least, OF taxing dogs,
to very little purpose. Now what is
to be done? Dogs are Oh the in
crease, and the destruction of sheep
is annually greater. We see no plan
but to compel owners to keep them
shut up at home. This would prove
ctfcctual. 1t is the rambling ours
that destroy sheep. The dog care
fully trained to stay at home is never
tempted to destroy sheep. Let the
Legislature now pass a law making
it Il penal ottense to allow dog to
run at large; let there be Il fixed pen
ally, reServing to the court no dis
crctionary power. We believe such
law would prove more effective
than those taxing these animals. =

On the Trucks.

"WEDNESDAY afternoon, as the Chicago,
Burlington g. Quincy train was about to
l,ull out from the transfer for the East an
Omaha gentleman observed two men
seated on, or rather clinging to, the trucks
under the dining-car. One of them, ap-
prehensive of being informed on, entreated
him: For Gods sake, don't give US
away" The gentleman questioned them,
and learned that they had ridden in this
over 1900 miles. The train started up
and stopped at the depot in Council Bluffs,
when the two " BEATS" supposing that the
train had been halted in order to put them
off, skipped out. The conductor when
told of the fact remarked that "that was
nothing. He had six on the trucks and
SIX on the roof at one time" 1t seems
that the amount of stolen riding obtained
at so perilous risk is greater than any
one has any idea of, and the wonder is
that so few are killed. As rule they
ride on the trucks during the daytime
and at night crawl up on top of the car.
If they are discovered and put off, they
wait for the next train and resume their
ride, many of them going from ocean to
ocean in this manner. The Union and Gen.
trail Pacific Railways have monopoly on
this sort of travel as we'll as on every other
kind to and from the Pacific coast. Many
of the persons who thus steal a ride from
the Pacific coast went there "well -heeled"
in search of =" Big Bonanza" travelling
in first-class style in Pullman sleepers and
enjoying three square meals day, and,
becoming busted, they take their chances in
getting back home in this way. Such is
life. Winter, however, generally puts an
end to this, though once in awhile fel-
low is taken out from the tool-box under
car half frozen to death.-OmahG Bee.

A Wonderful Piece Of Mechanism.

writes to the Pottsville Journal as follows
about wonderful piece of mechanism
Talk about the apostolic clock which was
on exhibition in Pottsville some time
ago, and which is now before the public
at some other placel 1t cannot compare
with the wonderful piece of mechanism
which has been made by q man of our
place. This also is in the shape of clock.
1t is a tank to represent the sea, and in it
is large whale, as natural looking as
life. A ship in distress appears on the
sea and the crew are in the act of throw
ing man overheard. The whale comes
up out of the water, and as its head ap-
pears its mouth gradually opens until it
reaches the man thrown out of the ship,
when it suddenly swallows him up. No
deception is practiced. The man passes
down the whales throat, and the whale
SINKS into the tank. simultaneously a
figure representing an angel appears in a
cloud and hovers around the place where
the whale appeared. After the lapse OF
hree-Quarters of minute the whale re-
appears, and, gradually opening his
mouth, casts the man out upon the shore.
At this the angel and cloud disappear, and
a figure representing God appears near
the man. This scene, of course, repre-
sents the Bible story of Jonah and the
whale.

NETTIE NEAL never did, but was always
"goin' to- 1t was such a provoking
habit, never to be quite ready to do as she
was bid; never ready to put away her
things, go on an errand, come to supper,
or go to bed, but always Eyes, mamma,
Pm goin' to-" Mamma Neal grew ex-
asperated at last; she was tired of asking,
and telling, and calling over and over for
her little girl to do what she wished her
to; so she determined one day she would
cure Nettie 9Opathically-by which
she meant she would use the same method
in small doses, and see if she could effect
cure in that way.
Therefore, one morning when Nett1e
came running in from the lawn with her
dolls arm torn off its shoulder and asked /:
I" Mamma, won't you please fix my dol
lies arm?" mamma lifted her eyes up
from her work and answered: Yes,
Nettie, I'm going to-" and then went on
sewing. Nettie waited little while, and
then asked again: Won't you please sew
my dollie's arm on, mammal" Eyes,

her eyes from her work. But, mamma
dear, want you to do it now, right
away" and there was little break in the
tremulous voice. "Why do you? l

my own time would suit you just as

soon put it all out of her head, and when
mamma called her to dinner she answered
back as usual: Z" Yes, mamma, I'm goin'
to-" and went on racing over the lawn and
across the brook and back again, until by
the time she was ready to come in dinner
was all over.
"Give me some dinner, mamma" she
cried, as she saw the table being cleared
away and mamma preparing to go up
stairs for her afternoon nap. "Yes, Net

going on up the hall stairs. Nettie ran
on after her and chung to her dress, Sob
bling: But Pm hungry now. want it

Mamma stopped on the stairs then and
answered very slowly: DO you see now

disagreeable and uncomfortable a person

mamma took Nettie up in her arms and

stanched the wound. Bandages were
applied and his life was saved. The pur-
suer had also thrown himself from his
horse, and as the surgeon tied up the last
bandage he looked up in his face and said
How lucky, neighbor, that was able

The wondering spectator was silent
with awe; and after assisting the wound
ed man home he told such miraculous
tale to the wondering town-folk as secured
to the young surgeon a reputation not
only for skill but also for supernatural
prescience. Thus did the merest accident
contribute more to his advancement than
years of studious toll could have done,

his reason, and was fast getting back his
strength. His large gray eyes instantly
fastened themselves on the bell, that
splendid masterpiece, whose making
meant so much to him. They had told
him the whole story of the casting and the
disaster in the foundry, but it all sounded
like wild romance to him.

said he, shaking his head, with smile.

Every eye turned upon the invalid.
Some of the men felt almost afraid, it was

known so long unidentified, now young
man, keen and intelligent, as if changed
into another being

two men lifted him up and put a small
hammer in his hand.
He struck one gentle blow. A deep,
of distant waterfalls, rolled from the great
bell and echoed through the foundry.
Tears filled the eyes of the rough men as
they heard IT.

one wise thought in the ruins of human
brain. Our furnace is rebuilt, and be-
hold, this dear boy has his reason againl
The bell and the boy shall glorify God to-

"Amen!'' murmured the listeners.
Then the great bell was lowered, and as
the truck was rolled away with its melo-
dious burden the boy was lifted and car
ried after it, and both went out into the
sunny day together, the rough men stand
ing in the doorways waving their hands.
Little INVENTOR afterward well proved
his unfortunate boyhood. His name is now
read on many a bell whose matchless
richness of tone his genius and skill in
metals alone created.
