| Dog that could Manage his own
Affairs.

Brownie came of \ black-and-tan
family, but was himself almost entirely
brown; hence was called Brownie. He
was great pet with his owner, a lady,
and one day was taken on a railway
excursion to village about eight miles
from the city. On arrival, Brownie
trotted up the street after his mistress,
who stopped at house, and becoming
interested in other matters quite forgot
her little dog After some time he was
missed, and no calling or whistling
brought him from any part Of the house
or street.
His mistress thought there was no
other course but to advertise for him,
and she turned homeward, quite de-
pressed at Brownies loss. When she
reached the depot in the city, she found
that Brownie had arrived alone by an
earlier train, and had been locked up
by a railroad official to await a claim
ant. When brought out he seemed
quite uncertain whether he had done
the right thing or not, for he came for
ward in crawling sort of way, as dogs
do when filed with mingled Joy and re-
morse but his reception soon reassured
him as to the propriety of his conduct.
No doubt, as soon as he missed his
owner, it occurred 10 him that the
surest way to find her was to return to
the point from which they had started.
He accordingly returned to the station
and took his seat in the cars, for the
conductor reported that he had seen
Brownie sitting demurely alongside of
a gentleman, and supposed that he be-
longed to him. 1t was not until they
reached the city that the dog was found
TO be without master.
Probably Brownie thoughtit safer to
seem to be under human protection
than to be travelling Independently At
any rate, he gsined~a reputation for
considerable sagacity by being able to
take such good care Of himself and to
get a free passage on the railroad at
the age of two.-Rochester 0r'o-'

A Thirty Thousand Acre Farm.

On the writer's recent visit to st.
Paul he had the pleasure of meeting
Oliver Dalrymple, Northern Dakota S
great farmer. Much has been written
of Mr.. Dalrymple, who has cleared two
or three hundred thousand dollars in
growing wheat on two thousand five
hundred acre farm in Washington
County, Minnesota. This spring Mr..
Dalrymple became interested with Cen
eral CasS and other eastern capitalists
in thirty thousand acre farm, about
fifteen miles west of Fargo, Dakota. He
put in this spring one thousand and two
hundred acres of wheat on ground
broken last season, and now has one
hundred plows in operation, intending
to break six thousand acres of prairie,
to be sown in wheat next year. He has
a large force of men at work erecting
stables, barns, dwellings for tenants,
and so forth, and other necessary i'm
provements. The land selected by Mr..
Dalrymple is situated IN one of the finest
and most productive valleys in the
world; as it is more accessible to mar
ket than any lands in Iowa or Southern
Dakota, or Minnesota, he has abundant
promise of millions. Other large farms
are being opened in the vicinity, and
new buildings may be seen on every
hand. The one thousand and two hun
dred acres of wheat sown by Mr.. Dal-
rymple this spring on his Northern Da-
kota farm at this writing Dune 1O)

frighten the recruits, and prevent their
embarking. Many Cinnamon are 60

A GrOcer's Trick.

The other day Grand River Avenue
grocer purchased 30 pound crock of
butter of farmer whom he had never
dealt with before, and while down cellar
emptying the crock he thought of a
trick to surprise the agriculturist. Find
ing a stone weighing about eight
pounds, the grocer creased it, carried
it up stairs with the crock, and, point
ing to it, quietly remarked:
"This, of course, is to be taken from
the gross weight, as well as the jar"
The farmer looked at the stone for
several long seconds, and then in a
voice so low that no one else could hear,
replied:
"Please kiver a piece of paper over
the jar, for there's man out by the
door who knows me-"
The grocer finally explained his
fiendish plot, and the butter-seller's
face underwent a sudden change.
Reaching over the sugar barrels to
shake hands, he said:
81 didn't hardly believe it, though
my wife came from tricky family, and
l should have gone home and organized
mourning and lamentation in that farm
house. .''-Detrott Free Press.
