The Dog as a Mail Carrier.

Who carries the mail from Os-tra-sou-
nosh, away up on the Minnesota line, to
the nearest frontier settlement in Dako-
TAP Why, Boss, mongrel kind of dog,
an apparent ultimate result of the ming
ling OF every kind of dog found in the
territory, Boss master a year ago was
drunken half-breed, who was paid SO q
trip in summer and $5 in winter for TAX
ing the mails distance of some sixty
miles. Boss master was honest, and
never purloined letter, but he had
a way Of drinking on the road,
and the mails were often de-
layed. Last January the mail
carrier never reached his destination,
but was found frozen stiff in snow
bank, three miles beyond Jobley's run.
Boss was keeping guard over his mas
ter and the mail. Now Boss runs the
machine in bad weather. All that has
to be done is to take Boss and secure the
letters round his neck in an oil-skin
wrap, and away goes Boss to the end of
the mail-route on the biggest kind Of q
lope. There Is no use of starving Bose,
as people do pigeons, to get him to work,
though he does expect feed at the con-
clusion of his journey. No one as yet
is intriguing for Boss place. Sixty-two
miles as the crowtlies, carrying the mails
through the snow, is not a position most
oftice-seekers care for.

The st. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press
prints letter from Mr.. Il. Warner, Pres
ident OF the St. Paul Sportman's Club,
which corrects its statement that Judge
Wilkin had declared the Game law of that
State unconstitutional, in that it took
private property for public use without
compensation when 1t confiscated birds
dnlawfully shot and handed them over
TO charitable institutions. The writer
says: "The suit has not been decided,
nor has the law been declared unconsti-
tutional, but the case will be tried at
the next term of the District Court. Per-
haps in this connection 1t would
be- well to give notice that the
time tor killing deer expired
December 15, and for having venison in
possession will expire January /. There
seems to be a general disposition TO obey
the law, as we hear the professional
hunters have folded their tents and de-
parted for their distant homes. We
think it would be well to have it gener-
ally understood that the person giving
Information of violations Of the game law
receives one-haH OF the fine. The game
law has been carefully examined by
some OF our best attorneys apd pro-
nounced all right, and prominent parties
to whom has been intrusted the care OF
oee,nr the law enforced throughout the
state are or the watch for oRcae oRfecenaers,
who, when apprehended, will be pun
ished as the law provides"

Remarkable Fruit Trees.

The Grass Valley (Cal.) Union says:
"We have read frequently OF late about
fruit trees in this part of the State that
have borne the second crop. Benjamin
Taylor, who has a fine orchard IN the
west end OF town, has some trees that
can beat all those second-crop trees. He
has a Bartlett pear tree that ripened the
first crop this year, and that first crop
has been gathered and eaten. The Sec
ond crop is ripe, and ready to be gath.
cred; the third crop is almost
ripe; the fourth crop Of pears is but
little smaller thans the third; the fifth is
getting along finely; and the sixth and
seventh crops show their regular grada-
tions of size in fruit, while the tree is
blooming for the eighth crop. We have
in our Office bough from the tree, which
shows distinctly the eight crops-ex-
cepting, of course, the first. Mr.. Taylor
has also an apple tree which has done
something this year in the way of bear
ing crops. A small twig in our posses-
sion shows fine ripe apple. any number
of small apples about one-third grown,
and o number OF blooms for third crop.
But the pear tree beats any ything we have
seen in the way Of prolific bearing.

The New York Evening Post puts the
matter frankly and boldly. 1t delares
Its conviction that it is the inalienable
right of every male citizen of the United
States to own and bear legs as well as
arms; that every man has right at all
times to carry two complete legs with
him; that in paying his fare in any pub
lie vehicle he pays tor a place In which
to bestow these useful, and in some
seese necessary, appurtenances; and
that the owner of legs has as much right
to bestow them comfortably one upon
the top of another as the owner of white
pants has to indulge his taste by wear
ing his linen on his lower limbs. All
this is profoundly true, but we had al
ways supposed that the Highlanders of
Scotland were the only men entitled to
carry "bare legs." Every man, how
ever, carries his own "leg-i.see," but IL
takes an educated understanding to so
dispose of these useful appendages that
they may not prove an annoyance to the
eyeo of taste, or an affliction to the pos
SCISSOR Of corns or the wearers of summer
pants Or petticOats.

Operatic Troubles.

Signor G. Tagliapietra, the great BARI
tone of Adelaide Phillipps' Opera Com
pany, which sang at Robinson's Opera
House last week, was billed for two per-
formances in "Trovatore" and "L'Om-
bra" for Saturday, a day after his con-
tract with Miss Phillips had expired.
He claims that it was done without his
knowledge or consent.
DR.. Saunders, his friend, told him his
voice was not equal to such a strain,
and not wishing to sing very much, he
positively refused to appear, thus disap-
pointing two large audiences. When
the Cincinnati managers found he could
not be used to suit them they very tool
ishly had him arrested and taken to the
office of the Superintendent of Police,
where, of course, he was Immediately
released. The indignant baritone, in a
card to the public, says that he is pre-
