Difey's Dog.

ALMOST everybody in town has heard
Of Jimmy Ditey's dog Duplex He had
q thousand tricks, but none that were
vain Catching ball and all that sort
| of business afforded him much pleasure.
Make but a single motion as though
| throwing something in the air and Du-
pick was all attention. His nose was
! alOtt in moment, and his ears were
vibrating " six ways for sunday" while
his tail was extraordinarily flexible
When he had fallen into this attitude the
| majority of external things were not
/ needed by him until he became con
{ WINGED that he was not going 10 hear
/ anything drop. Not only in this but
| also IN many other respects the dog WAS
q study. Well, poor Duplex is dead nov
Last Sunday afternoon the Chinese resi-
/ dents of this place rendered their god
/ GumboOtS an ovation, in which fire
! crackers and bombs largely predomi-
mated.
Jimmy Diifey went down 10 China
town to see this blowout Duplex fol
lowed at his heels, Hardly had the Joss
house been reached when Chinese
Worshiper of the croSScYed god above
mentioned threw high into the air one of
those wicked, spherical, wiCker-cOvcrcd
bombs, a thing which no other nation cN-
cept the Chinese would ever have
thought of inyenting. Poor Duplex saw
the ball ascend and rushed forth from
hIS masters side, confident that as a
trained dog he WAS expected To do his
duty. The bali had not yet done as
Cending when Duplex was under
meath il, SquattGd upon his launches,
nose in the air, ears vibrating
sHu laying tail out along the

" Here, Duplex, You, Duplex, Get OUT
Come here! Al, you" Duplex knew
too we'll what, under similar cirCum-
stances, had always been expected of
him-kRew his duty. As the kissing
sphere reached its greatest altitude,
paused the fractional part of second
and then began its descent, the slightest
bit of trcmOr Imaginable was 10 be OBJ
served in the extreme point of the tail of
the alert animal; then as the ball de-
scended nearer and nearer he was as
firm as il rOCk-he was accurately meas
uring his distance. At the exact and
critical moment Duplex darted from the
ground straight as IN arrow from the
bow, his rigid, well-formed tail pointing
directly to the ground and his mouth
open to the widest capacity DowE be
tween the distended jaws Of the dog fell
the bomb. Drop il, YOU rascal shout
ed Mr.. DifIey; drop it, drop it, SIR
Rnt Duplex did not drop il A heavy,
dun explosion was hcard-a sort of thud
and Duplex, where was he. The

running out with such rapiditv rs To
cause smoke 10 arise from the woodwork
of the boat, and the Captain threw water,
Us : the custom, upon the spot By
some unlucky lurch Of the boat he was
canted from his position, and he natu-
rally threw out his left hand 10 prevent
himself from falling; but, in doing SO, he
unfortunately placed it So that the rope
cOiied about his wrist, and he was over
board and ouy of sight in an instant.
He WAS perfectly conscious while he
was rushing down head foremost. and
with An Incredible swiftnesS, and it ap-
praref TO him that his arm would be
torn from the socket so great was the
resistance OF the water. During these
awful moments he was well aware of his
perilOus situation. and that his only
chance for life Was 10 cut the line But
how could he do thiss He could not
move his right arm from his side, 10
which il was So closely pressed 10y the
force of the element through which De
was being drawn. The pressure on his
brain grew more and more terrible and a
roaring rs of thunder sounded in his
ears. He opened his eyes for q single
instant and it seemed as though a stream
of fire was passing before them. And
now came that inevitable activity of the
brain which charaCteriZes all such peril
Gus situations, where ones whole life
seems to pass in review in an instant Of
time. But the Captain was Il very prac-
teal man, cool and courageous always,
and consequently still self-possessed
He began 10 struggle with all his mus
cular power 10 reach the knife which he
wore in his belt He felt that he was
growing weaker every instant and il was
now or never with him, though We
should say parenthetically that what re-
quires So long to describe occurred in
time which was rcckoned by seconds
rather than minutes. On, If hr
could but command his right
hand for one stroke upon that fatal line,
Now his heart began to fail him. He
did not absolutely despair, but his brain
reeled, his nerves seemed 10 relax their
tension, light and darkness appeared 10
alternate before his eye-balls and his
head felt as though compressed in an
iron wise We're these his last moments.
He thought, in spite of the agOnizing
pain he endured, he would make one
more brave effort.
The line pruvidentially slackenei for
second; he reached his knife and, -
quick as thought itself, rs the rope he
came taut again the keen edge of the
blade was upon 1t, and by desperate
effort of the arm it became severed. He
was freed, and then commenced his up
ward passage, caused by the natural
buoyancy of the human body After this
he only remembered feeling of sutio-
cation, 4 gurgling spasm and all WIS
over until he aWoke to IN agOniziDg pHin

4 Most Remarkable Escape From
Death.

A SHIP some time ago arrived al Bristol,
after a successful Pacific whaling voyage.
Time was when thousands Of vessels
tracked the great sea monsters in search
of oil hut the discoveries Of the mineral
article have made the trade 10 longer re-
munerative, or, al least, much less an oh
icct of pursuit The ship referred to
was the West Vino, commanded by
Can't. Parker, who met with 4 most peril
Gus adventure during his cruise, and
which came very near costing him his
life Under the most favorable circum-
Stances the occupation Of the whaler Is
one of great danger and physical trial,
and very few ships ever return TO port
without losing one or more hands by the
ordinary exigencies Of the service.
II seems that Capt Parker was out
from his ship with boats crew chasing
a whale. and, having fastened his har-
noon ia the creature, il dived, as
usual. and the line, coiled IN the bows
OF the boat, began 10 run out with
lightning speed as the monster sank to
the extreme depth OF the ocean. At this
critical Iuncture Capt. Parker went 70

A Magician PuzZllBg London.

For some time past we have been
amused in London by the presence and
ingenuity of two rival cOnjGTers-Dr
Linn and Mr.. MaSkelyne They Outdid
one another in marVels, and are found TO
Egyptian Hall, in Piccadilly. At last
DR.. Linn came out with a clever
but CHASTITY trick of cutting mans head
off. But Mr.. Maskelvne, not TO be
beaten, has invented a mechanical con-
trivsnce called Psyche which is marvel
among automata, and already the talk of
all London. Psyche is a human figure
resting on square box or case, literally
filled with clockwOrk and elaborate ma
chinery, and this case, with the dummy
figure or doll resting upon IL, is placed
on glass cylinder in the center OF the
stage. II is absolutely impossible that
m N can be concealed under the figure to
work il, as Was the case with the once cele-
brated automatic chess player The box
under Psyche is extremely sCall, and com
p!etely filled with machinery of an elab-
crate kind. But at the command Of Mr.
Maskelvne PsychO adds figures together,
multiplies, subtracts, and performs vari-
Gus astounding feats IN mental aTlth-
metic. He is also able 20 tell what cards
have been subtracted from a pack by
several people in the audience. But
the most marvellous trick performed
by Psyche consists in his playing
hand at whist with three gentle
men selected from the audience. When
the cards are dealt Psycho's cards are
arranged in front of Aim on semi-cir-
cular frame. The cards played are called
out by Mr. Maskelyne, and, when Psy-
chO's turn comes 10 play, The figure looks
wise, turns his head, puts out his hand
and selects the necessary card. He
plays an excellent game, never revokes
or makes mistake, and the feat is Ie-
warded with the most unbounded ap
plause. Mechanicians are wild about
the discovery, which reflects great credit
on the ingenious skill of the inventor.
Psyche was first introduced down at
Sandringham by express order and com.
mand OF H. r. h, the Prince Of Wales.

We publish else W here the Indian
apOtis Journals account of the adj
vent o. the Mississippi editors in
that city and their grand oriaamme.
A crazy jackass by the name of
Hanna (he is connected with some
of the Indianapolis papers) got up
and preached to the Mississippi
quill drivers war to- the knife, "etc ,
for Mississippi Republicans. He
was followed by his confrere, Ryan,
in the same strain. When these
+" blood hounds had flushed their
rOasiBg exhortations, Col. Money,
of the Winona Adcancc, and Major
KinIock Falconer, of Holly Springs,
arose and informed the fire.eaters
OF indianapolis that they had missed
their mark by far; that tbs Missis-
sippi editors were not there to hear
carpeG-baggers or anybody else
abused. This was very sensible
and patriotic in Money and Fal-
coRer. but two-thirds of the Missis-
sippi editors present were delighted
with such talk, because they have
no more political judgment than a
hog has religion.
