FdITHFUL DOGS.

A youngster of five years was recently
lost near Lexington, Mo. His name is
William Norman, and when last seen the
child was In O fence-corner with two
dogs. From there it seems he wandered
into the woods, eight miles from Lexing-
ton and three miles from home. Here,
probably, night overlook the little wan
derer, and darkness closed in upon him,
cold, tired and hungry, with none to aid
him but his faithful four-footed COM
panions. The faithful dogs, with an in
stinct that seems equal to human intelli-
gence, went to work and scratched to-
gether bed of leaves. Into this the
boy crept, and then the intelligent AMI
mails laid down, one on each side of him,
and kept him warm through the night
with the heat of their bodies. Morning
broke with the boy safe, his shaggy
guardians remaining at their posts.
Though rested and refreshed, he was al
most famished with hunger. Again the
wonderful instinct of the faithful dogs
was equal to the emergency. They set
out foraging; chased and killed rabbit,
and brought it to their young charge,
laying it at his feet. The boy eagerly
ate of the raw meat, and when discov-
cred was busily engaged in appeasing
his hunger. When the party who dis
covered him endeavored to approach the
child the dogs became exceedingly Zero
cious, and would not let one of them
approach him. The boys father and
dogs master had to be sent for before
they could get the child from his noble
protectors. The JOY of the parents can
be easily imagined, and We will guaran-
tee to say that all the wealth of Lafay-
cite county would not purchase one of
these dogs.

THE JEWISH WACHERS.

Among the Hebrews of New York
there is class of men and women about
whom the general public know little or
nothing, viz: those who watch and pre-
pare the dead for burial. As an Israel
lite, according to Jewish law, is NO. al
lowed to touch the body of deceased
relative, it is apparent how necessary to
the Jewish community are those people
engaged in the peculiar business of car
ing for the dead The technical Hebrew
term for them is "wachers," and their
number is comparatively small; they are
kept busy almost constantly, very often
not getting any regular rest for week
or more at time, their powers of en-
durance in outstanding the attacks of
the drowsy god for days together being
really wonderful. AS general thing,
these wachers are pious, orthodox Israel
ties; but there are some among them
who are rough and coarse, brltal and
blasphemous. Even the most devout
are so hardened to their work that they
pass their nights and days beside the
dead in gay and festive manner; that
is, being possessed, despite the horrible
nature of their employment, of good,
hearty appetites: they kill time by eat
ing, drinking, and smoking, early, late,
and often, and by reading and convers-
ing on both humorous and serious sub
jects. Some of them are SO very relig-
ious that they invariably wash their
hands and pray before eating, and will
not partake of food which is cooked on
the Sabbath. Sometimes whole families
are engaged in this business of watching
the dead and preparing them for burial.

MORMON MARRIAGES. - STE1NGE
CEREMONIES.

/ have been given an account of the
Celestial marriage" which l send you
for what it is worth. 1 am loath to be-
lieve that the ceremonies are so revolving
as they are pictured by my informant,
and indeed place little reliance on the
story. Still it is valuable as showing
how the people here look upon the Pc
culiar institution.
After being properly bathed-which
typically washes away the sins of the
world-the victims are anointed from
head to foot with olive oil, which the
bride and groom must furnish. This
oil is poured over them from small
horn, called the horn of plenty. They
then don their endowment clothes and
ascension robes, and are led into a typi-
cal garden of Eden, in the center of
which is schrubbeIy tree about three
feet high, from the green boughs OF
which is suspended punches Of grapes;
no apples are in sight. Reclining at
the foot of this tree is his satanic mai
esty, or the serpent, as the case may be,
clad in black cloth tights. This eharac-
ter is generally assumed by Councillor
Wells, because of his peculiar fitness for
that role-possessing a redish and sharp
face and large, hooked nose, resembling

4 PIMPLE KILLED HIM.

\ dispatch from Bennington to the
Troy On. W Press says ga week ago
yesterday, in the afternoon, Charles
Wright, cutter at G.. b. Sibley's tailor
ing establishment, discovered small
pimple ON his lip, which he supposed to
be cold sore. 1t grew rapidly, and be-
came more painful. On Monday he sup
posed it was boil, and left work little
earlier than usual in the afternoon. On
Tuesday morning he went to his work,
but had been in the shop but short
time when he tainted. Mr.. Sibley took
him to his own house, and desired him to
remain till he got well. Fearing he would
give the family trouble, Mr.. Wright
went to the Stark House ON Tuesday
evening. He went to bed and never rose
again. The swelling rapidly extended to
his entire face. Yesterday morning he
died at 7:25, less than one week from the
time his lip began to pain him. The
doctors say his disease was erysipelas,
which caused congestion of the brain.
His head is sxelled TO monstrous size.
He had never been seriously sick before.
Mr.. Wright was % years of age, and a
very worthy man."

4 REMINISCENCE OF PIONEER
TIMEE

John Delaney used to tell this story OF
how Judge Dunn wrought reform IN
his court, in the flush times of Wiscon-
sin Territory, with zest and accent which
language not his own, though the same
in substance
"When / was law-student III Mineral
Point, in eighteen hundred and forty
something, there was an array of legal
talent in Iowa county that would have
done honor to any place. There was
Nose Strong, Judge Cothren, Nj. M.
Jackson, Sam Crawford, Farley Eaton,
Frank Dunn, David W. Jones, Gen. W
r. Smith, Cad. Washburn, and others OF
less repute. Among those OF light cali
bre was a countryman of mine-a regrl-
lar Dogan-who was the best illustration
ever saw of the maxim that small brooks
are noisy. His name was Jimmy Maggie,
and more cheeky, conspicuous, insolent
limb of the law never retained 'the
Irish brogue" Mr. Charles Dunn was
on the bench and out OF term time he
was, in all respects, one of us in our
social relations, and it must be admitted
that in those times there was a heavy
practice at bars where were dispensed
more liquids than law And so it came
to be property at ease for the bar is
court to address the bench i'll the same
jocular, free-and-easy, familiar style so
characteristic OF pioneer equality. The
thing was getting intolerable, and it be
came manifest to his Honor that an ex-
ample had to be made of somebody, to
impress the bar with the respect an dig
nifty due the court. An opportunity was
soon offered as he well knew there woulG
be as soon as Jimmy Nagle had a case.
called. AS usual, Jimmy became con
temptous, and presently he blurted out :
Charley, We know full well your ruling
is contrary to law and decency-if ye
don't know mooch else :" WhereupoJs
"Charley" directed the entry of an order
summarily debarring James Nagle from
further practice in that circuit. II was
new order OF things and whilst the ban
sat aghast in silence, tremble for my
country and countrymen, as Jimmy gath
cred up his papers, and IN tone OF
meekness said: "Weu, yer Honor, /
s'pose it's all right ana jest, as I'm in the
power of We, but it strikes me that the
court is domnably imprignated with daig
nifty all at once :" The bottom fell ont

than it had been I" imprignated, as it
joined in the general outlaw, which none
of us could suppress.
"Poor Jimmy we all sympathized with

malediction became a byword all over the

TIE Sci MOUSE.

The sea mouse is one of the prettiest
creatures that lives under water. 1t
sparkles like diamond, and is radiant
with all colors of the rainbow, although
it lives in mud at the bottom of the
ocean. 1t should not be called mouse,
for it is larger than big rat. 1t is COW
cred with scales that move up and down
as it breathes, and glitters like gold
shining through heecy down, from
which fine silky bristles wave that con-
stantly change from one brilliant tint to
another, SO that as Cuvier, the great nat
uralist, says, the plumage of the hum
ming birds is not more beautiful. Sea
mice are sometimes thrown up on the
beach by storms. Guardian.

A DREAM BEFORE THE TRAGEDY
Speaking of the tragic death of the late
Mrs. Margaret Bingham, murdered in
East Boston, the Zion's Herald says
{" A clergyman relates to us singular
incident which came directly to his
knowledge The night before her death
she told one of her friends she had suf-
fered from terrible dream which she
could not throw off. She dreamed that
she was murdered. She remarked that
she was not afraid to die, but was terri
bly, shocked at the idea of such form
of death. How singular, at times, these
mysterious mental pictures of coming
events cast their shadow upon us. Or
was q divine whisper preparing the soul
for the hour of extreme discipline?"

CURIOUS C4LCULATING MACHINE.
There died recently at Three Oaks,
Mich, a wonderful man-Mr. Frederick
p. Warren, the inventor of one of the
most curious pieces of mechanism ever
known. This production is called cal
culating machine, and though hardly
complete, bids to become of such value
as to make famous the name of its maker.
The machine is beautiful In its appear
ance and astonishing in its operations.
1t will use a multiplier or divisor of
tSelve figures, the multiplicand and divi-
dend being limited only by the number
of wheels placed in front to receive the
answer. The machine contains over
2,100 pieces, and yet it works with per

adds, subtracts and multiplies, at one
operation, in fractions or whole numb
ers, as desired. By putting the first
