Difey's Dog.

Almost everybody In town, says Virginia City (Nev.) paper has heard of Jimmy Diffey's dog Duplex. He had thousand tricks, but none that were ''vain," Catching balls and all that sort of business afforded him much pleas ure. Making but single motion, as though throwing something into the air, and Duplex was all attention. His nose was aloft in a mement, and his ears were Vi bratipg "siX ways for Sunday" while his tail was extraordinarily infiexible. When he had fallen into this attitude, the majority of external things were not needed by him until he became convinced that he was not going to hear anything drop. Not only in this, but also in many other respects, the dog was study. Well Duplex is dead now. Last Sun day evening the Chinese resi- dents of this place rendered their god Gum-boots an ovation, in WIllCu HIe-CIdChO1O 1hO OOAAAoO largely prodominated.
 Jimmy Diffey went down to Chinatown to see this blowout, Duplex following at his heels. IEardly had the Joss house been ched when Chinese worship
 . of the cross eyed god above mentioned threw high into the air one of those wicked, spherical, wicker-covered bombs, a thing which no other nation except the Chinese would even have thought of inventing. Poor Duplex saw the ball ascend, and rushed forth from his masters side, con- fident that as a trained dog he was expected to do his duty. The bali had not yet done ascend ing when Duplex was underneath it, squatted upon his launches, nose in the air, ears vibrating, and tail laying out along the ground as stiff as. small clOw- bar. In vain did MT. Difey shout and call, "Here, Duplex! You, Duplex! An, you!' Duplex knew powell what under similar circumstances had always been expected of him-knew his duty As the hissing sphere reached Its greatest altitude, paused the frac fional part of 8 second and ther began its descent, the sllghtes' bit of trenlOr imaginable was 10 oF observed in the extreme point O the tail Of the alert animal; thei as the ball descended nearer anC nearer, he was firm as 8 rOck-ht was accuraG Gely measuring the dIS tance. At the exact and critlca moment, Duplex darUed from tht ground, straight as an arrow iron the bow, his rigid, well formed tail pointed directly to the ground and his mouth open to it's wldes capacity.
 Down between the distendee jaws of the dog fell the bomb "Drop it, you rascal" shouted MT. Diffey, "drop it, drop it, sirv But Duplex did not drop it. 4 heavy, dull explosion was heart "a sort of thud-and Duplex where was he? The greater par of him Jay where the explosion occurred, but one of his eyes wa sent across the street through tn window of Hop Lock, the Chimes doctor, the end of his nose fell il the boudoir of Miss Soo Chow and shower of teeth rained il the meat market and pig-killinI establishment of the fat ,an' easy-going An Luck.
