HAIR OF THE DOG.

He came in limping and leaning heavily on
his cane, and the officers of Magistrate
Evans's court thought that somebody had
been shot. In slow, meditative sort of way
he asked to see the Alfred David clerk, for,
said he, "Yer know I'm not man what
agoing to stand this. It's only yesterday
morning I was a coming out my gate, when
Mrs. Fitzgibbonss dog jumped at me and
gave me geewhopping bite in the calf of
my leg, and now want an Alfred David agin
that dog, and l wants him shot. l wouldn't
have cared nothing about it if the old lady
would only given ms a little Of the hair of
that there dog to put on the bite, but Mrs.
Fitzgibbons she says, says she, when tried
to get in her yard, 'Leave here, old Higgets,
or I'll let Roper loose again
''Now I only ask for justice Give me the
Alfred David or some OF that dogs hair. Ii
there's any law in this country I'm going to
have one or the other, for I'm not the man to
go and die in the hospital with the phobia, l
amt"
The clerk mildly informed the gent that he
might make the affidavit against the man for
keeping a vicious canine, but that the law did
not warrant the arrest of the animal with
out it.
"That amt going to do at all" said he
SO I'm white American citizen, and I've voted
every time, and | am going to have hair or
dog"
He is still in search of the Judge.

A Big Thing in st. Louis.

From the st. Louis Republican, Oct. 30.1
Some weeks ago the Republican made men,
ton that movement was on foot having in
contem plation the erection in this city of a
hotel to be the largest in the world, and that
some Boston capitalists We're at the bottom
of the enterprise.
The plans of the mammoth building in con-
temptation had to be matured go far that the
cost of construction could be approximatea;
the proper site had to be selected among sew
eral which were offered, and it was requisite
that the ground be unoccupied by private
alleys or undermined by sewers, and the char
acter of the neig aborhood, respecting It's eli
gibility, wholesomeness and respectfully
not forgetting the access to it by streets aud
avenues, mad also to be taken into considera-
ton. These conditions having been COM
piled With, the Republican is now enabled to
state that the negotiation has been concluded
for the grounds, the agent OF the parties hav-
ing placed his signature to the final papers
yesterday.
The hotel grounds will be located on the
old homestead property belonging to Dlniel
r. Garrison, situated on the southeast corner
of Grand and Page avenues, and covering four
ana halt arpents-about four acres of ground
The mammoth structure to be erected On this
ground will be called the Hotel Grande."
1t will have a frontage ON Page Avenue of 400
feet, and on Grand Avenue of 800 feet, the
space occupied covering 120, 900 square feet,
being of much larger extent than the San
Francisco hotel-considered the largest in the
world-which covers only Sc, coo square feet.
The next largest hotel in the world is the
Grande Hotel of Paris, which has So rooms
more than Sharon & Ralston 8, of San Fran
cisco.
The st. Louis structure will contain 1000
rooms, as originally contemplated, bat owing
to the fact that the ground area will have a
length of 100 feet more than at first proposed,
in consequence of the additional space &C
q1ired, the height will not have as many sto-
rles as originally designed. There will be
elegant facades on each of the four Sides
but the grand entrance will be On Page
Avenue.
The interior court will have dimension of
$50 by $50 feet. In the center of the court
will be splendid fountain, with four smaller
fountains on the corners, and the rest of
the space will consist of a conservatory en-
bracing exotic and native plants. The plans
and specifications are in the hands of the ar
chitect, and when fully elaborated a de-
scription more in detail will be given
The parties having the control OF the mat
ter propose to get in readiness to begin the
erection of this mammoth hotel in the spring,
and it is expected to have it completed so as
to be opened for guests by September l, 1875.
The cost of the hotel, independent Of the fur
niture, will be nearly 50 900, 600.
