"Dogs," says the Austin (Nevada) Re-
reille, "was the subject Of discussion in
the Sazerac Lying Club last evening. A
number of marvellous tales were told
about dogs, the most remarkable Of
which was about dog belonging to a
member present. He said that one day
while hunting over sagebrush plain
his dog started coyote, which ran into
a squirrel hole. The dog pursued the
coyote into the hole, and in about three
minutes dog and coyote emerged on the u,
distant from where they went in. If a
dog has to travel the same road to
heaven as the rich man that dog will
get there sure, for it could go through
the eye Of cambria needle and never
wet a hair"

perpetrated was one which for unregener-
ate "cussednessn carries off the palm. Dur

note was received by 40 different clergy
men in the city;
Rev. DIR. -:

The Studebsker Brothers, of South Bend,
the largest wagon builders In the world,
have just completed a wagon for exhibi-
ton at the Centennial. The Tribune OF
that city thus describes it: The wheels
and running gears are of oak and the box
of birds-eye maple, the seats also of maple.
The springs OF the seat are nickel-plated,
and all oftbe irons are polished in highly
superior style. The irons are forged solid
of Sweden iron, and the labor upon them
alone cost $500. The work on the box is
of the most elegant description, and every
portion of it glistens like rosewood. All
of the inscriptions are inlaid with various
woods, and so skillfully is 1t done, that
unless closely inspected the observer
would at once conclude the letters had
been laid on with brush. The work Is
credited to William Anderson, German.
The in scription on the dash board is, "Cen-
tennial," and in q handsomely executed
monogram. "S. B. Mig. Co." The sides
OF the box are lettered, ''Studebaker Bro. 's,"
and the tail-board, with the place of man
uiacture, ''South Bend, Ind" The cost of
the wagon complete will be upwards Of
500.

nap ne Is the nephew or relative of she
chief msgDate of the treasury" Such
were the visions which fitted through the
minds OF numbers ofthe recipients OF the
note, and they
PUT ON A CLEAN NECKcLoTH
and prepared themselves for the expected
ceremony. Half an hour before the time
appointed two young men who have no
regard for dignitits, nor respect for per
sons, stole quietly into the hotel, and sta
toned themselves in the waiting ROOM ad-
joining the main entrance. Three O'Clock
came, and as the hand upon the dial
pointed to the hour, the front door
opened and in walked a stately,
white-choktr gentleman, who pro-
ceeded to the desk and blandly inquired
for "Mr. Bristow," at the same time
exhibiting his note. The urbane clerk re-
piled that there was no such gentleman
stopping in the house, and the 'scleric" de-
parted greatly marveling. He had barely
left the door before another entered, with
speculation in his eye, and he also de-
parted with an expression upon his face
which showed that he believed this world
to be hollow and his doll stuffed with saw
dust. The Rev. j. ID. Fulton was among
the first arrivals, but he saw the joke in an
instant, and
SLIT OUT" WITH SPEED.
The Rev. DR.. Talmage and the Rev. DIR.
Storrs sent notes by telegraph boys, to the
effect that circumstances, over which they
had no control, prevented them from at
tending. A note had been sent to Mr..
Beecher, but the witty Plymouth pastor
wac too keen to be caught with such chat,
and gave no response. One absent minded
clergyman had forgotten his note and
the name, and hunted through
the register for some time
in hopes of finding it. For over
half an hour the flood tide of eccle-
siasticsl inquiry broke in bland muir
murs around that devoted hotel clerk
until upward of thirty members of the
cloth had inquired for "Mr. Bristow."
AS each one discovered the wicked device
which had lured him on aud felt bis crisp
and rustling hopes wither before the
blast of adversely, he turned and de
parted with swiftness which betokened
forgotten engagement or an un-
finished sermon, and with a lively sense OF
the total depravity and utter wicked cess
of mankind. It was noticed yesterday
that some of them prayed vindictively for
the regeneration or the human race. And
these unrepentant and grace-deserted
young men gloried in their shame, and,
when all was over, went out eud COM
forted themselves with warming and nour-
ishment fluids, composed of the juice of
the corn, the rind OF lemon, and withal
little sugar.
