A Dog That Sings.

From the Troy Whig.
A gentleman in this city is the own.
er of small Scotch terrier that shows
a decided taste for music. A young
lady, his daughter. is taking lessonso on
the piano, and many hours are given
to practice. He jumped upon the ia.
BILE and looked at it, and leaped upon
it, and peered into,it as if trying to find
out where the sounds came from. One
day when she was playing the dog
tried to initiate the notes. Afterwards
while she was practicing, the dog al
most daily would try to sing. He did
not bark nor howl, as dogs will often
do at the sound of bells. although he
could not pronounce ia, sol, Ia, mi, do,
&C., he succeeded in good imitation
of the sounds, and could cause his
voice to rise and fall with the notes.
All this was at first in the presence of
only the young lady. When she told
her mother and invited her to he pres.
ent, the dog would not sing. By and
by, however, his f0ndness for music
overcamo his bashfulness, and he
would sing in the presence of the the
two ladies. Afterwards, other mem
bers Of the family were called in, and
now the dog, having conquered his
modesty, and gained confidence in his
own powers, would exhibit his musical
talents before any company.

Who is Responsible for the Calnloy Affair?

Who is Responsible for the Calnhoy Afiaire
The Charleston News and Courier, in
its report of the recent affray at Cain
hoy, where the negroes hit back, says
that an agreement was entered into be.
tween the Republicans and Democrats
that they would divide this meeting,
and that arms should not be taken to
the locality, and add: ''The Demo.
Gratis conformed strictly to the agree
ment.' In the same article describ.
ing the trip of the Democrats down to
Cainh0y the News and Courier says
"There was no incident worth noting
on the run to Cainhoy. The Demo-
Gratis amused themselves by firing with
their pistols at such objects in the riv-
er as attracted their attention. We
presume this is the way Democrats
conform strictly to an agreement
the South Carolina plan.
In the report of r. NJ. Wallace, Unit
ed States Marshal at Charleston, s. c.,
to Attorney Gen. Taft, the true version
is given of the affair at Cainhoy. From
this account, which tallies closely with
that which was telegraped by the
special correspondent of the New York
Times, it is perfectly clear that the
White Democrats took the initiative
in acts of violence and fired the first
volley, instantly killing an aged ne.
gro who was in attendance upon the
meeting. Then, and not till then, the
negroes showed fight, and by well.
directed fire dispersed tteir assailants
and drove them from the ground. The
fact that the usual rate OF mortality
was reversed only proves that in this
solitary instance the Confederate in.
timidators were beaten at their own
game.
