A married couple were attacked in
the street by a dog. Thewife scream
ed and tried to run, but her husband
caught her by the shoulders and held
her firmly between the infuriatcd
beast and his person, while he whis-
percd in hoarse voice: "Don't you
dare to let go of me darling, I'll
stand by you, even if he does bite"
Never losing his presence Of mind
for an instant, the daring man baf-
fed every attempt of the fierce brute
to get at him. The owner of the dog
interfcrrcd, and, as the couple moved
off, the husband was heard to say: "If
you had only let the dog bite you,
Matilidy, l might have sued the city
for $4,000 damages, But You never
did have much sense"

How the Indians Get Arms and Ann
unitlOn.!
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
An army officer in the Big Horn expedi-
lition wrote letter to friend in this city
u few days prior tothe slaughter of Custer 8
command, from which we are permitted to
copy as follows:
II think this will be q long and very
tiresome campaign. doubt if
we see our posts again before fall, II then.
The scarcity of water adds much to our
difficulties, and think the country gener-
ally much worse than Arizona, the only
growth for miles being the irrepresslble
cactus. The Indians are very strong in
numbers and splendidly armed, and they
boast that they can and will clean out any
hing that the United States can send
against them. Spotted Tail appears to be
friendly, and on the strength of it goes to
Cheyenne, buys Il, 900 rounds of ammuni-
tion, and returns to the agency with it.
The following day fresh party of Indians
starts out fully equipped. OF the wisdom
Of allowing this proceeding l say nothing.
Ie was in Cheyenne when we were there
on our march up. He picks up all the in
formation he can get concerning our move
ments, and forwards it to his friends. If
this sort of thing continues, you can judge
how successful we shall be-"

N. Y Sun.
At the annual meeting of the Brooklyn
Board Of Education yesterday afternoon, for
| organization, eight new members, among
them ex-Mayor Hunter and DR.. A. N. Bell,
editor of the ''Sanitarian," handed 10 their
certificates. A large number of spectators
including many politicians, eagerly watched
the progress Of the election. u. Whit
lock, who has been President Of the board
six years, was unanimously re-chosen. Mr..
Jamea Murphy was reelected Vice-Pres
dent. The special committee of five,
through W. W. Hurlburt, its Chairman,
which had the question of salaries In
charge, reported In favor of no change,
but with the recommendation that
the Superintendent of the board should be
allowed nothing for clerk hire or expenses.
Edward Rowe and others successfully
amended the report, favoring reductions of
between ten and twenty per cent. The re-
port Of the committee was adopted without
amendment. T.W. Field and his present as
sistant, j. W. Bulkley, were nominated
for the positions held BY them. Prof. Ho-
mer B. Sprague, the candidate of Henry
Ward Beecher, was not nominated. BOs1
Mclaughlin, who had sent word to Mr..
Beecher that he could not interfere, quietly
sent for the members Of the board whom
he could control, and told of his desire to
have Mr.. Field reelected. Mr.. Kinsella did
as much for the members whom he thought
would 20 against Mr.. Field In favor of Mr..
Homer B. Sprague or j. W, Bulkley, using
the argument that he would consider it q
personal favor If they would help to unseat
Mr.. Field. Yesterday, as q last resort to
defeat Mr.. Field, the adherents of Prof.
sprague and Mr. Bulkley united onthe latter,
and Prof. Sprague wrote letter withdraw
in. ss:cn the contest for the Superintendent
cy :. t,.ing understood that he should be
elected assistant ia case that Mr.. Bulkley
got The first place. The result Of the bal
lot was: T. W. Field, 25; J. W.. Bulkley,
Is; Homer B. Sprague, l; j. Cruikshank, 1.
The Chairman announced Mr.. Fields elec-
tion. j. W. Bulkley on the ballot for As
sistant Superintendent was elected over
1omer B. SPrague, who got two votes. Mr..
Gates moved to create the office of Second
Assistant Superintendent, to which Mr..
Spragues' opponents were willing to elect
him. The question was referred to the
Teachers and SalarysC Committees. Geo. A.
W. Stuart was chosen secretary, and all
the other officials were reelected. The
election Of the five truant officers and the
Superintendent of Truancy was deferred
until next week. g

New York; Miss Kate Hastings, daughter
Of the editor of the "Commercial Adver-

hotel keeper, Mr.. Charles Shelley; the
Misses Holiday, daughters of Ben. Holla-

an Italian, and went with him to Mexico,
Miss Hastings is still "fancy free."
The "Home Journal" is mistaken in re-
