DOGS WITH A DEsTINY.-The SNUG
Cling of lace is a very important and in
feresting feature in its history. From
!. 700 downward we are told that in Eng
land the prohibition of lace went for
nothing. Ladies would have foreign
lace, and if they could not smuggle 1t
themselves the smuggler brought 1t to
them. " Books, bottles, babies, boxes,
and umbrellas, daily poured out their
treasures" Everybody struggled. At
one period much lace was smuggled into
France from Belgium by means Of dogs
trained for the purpose. A dog was
caressed and petted at home fedO the fat
of the land, then, aitera season, sent across
the frontier, where he was tied up, half
starved, and ill-treated. The skin OF a
bigger dog was then fitted to his body,
and the intervening space filled with
lace. The dog was then allowed to es-
cape and make his way home, where he
was kindly welcomed with his contra
band charge. These journeys were re-
Peated till the French custom-house,

for me to enumerate the diseases for which
the Negetine should be used. I know of no
disease which will not admit of its use, with
good results. Almost innumerable complaints
are caused by poisonous secretions in the
blood, which can be entirely expelled from
the system by the use of the Vegetine. When
the blood is perfectly cleansed, the disease
rapidly yields; all pains cease; healthy act

The Bird of Liberty.

He was a little man. He was forty
years old, and there were silver threads
among the red. He didn't look like a
bad man, but the officer in the case testi-
fed to bad days record.
John GOulder-such was his name
entered a saloon OH Randolph street and
claimed that he was the original scream
ing American eagle. He was put out,
and he went into butcher shop on 6rush
street and ordered three tons of mutton
chops sent to orphan asylum. The butcher
wanted cash in advance, and then john
GOulder struck at him and screamed that
he was a big striped tiger, fresh from the
canebrcaks of Bengal, and that it was
death to rouse him. The man of the
cleaver carried him out of doors and
slammed him down on a snOw-bank and
the tiger next appeared in a steam laUn-
dry, and wanted them to wash his con-
science When he was kicked out he
got up a street fight, and an officer picked
him off his feet and carried him to a
statiOn-hOuse.
His honor listened patiently to all
these stories of sin and degradation, and
it made him feel bad. He reverenced
the American eagle, and he respected the
Bengal tiger, and the idea of such a little
old dyspeCtic man going around under
such false pretenses hurt the court S feel
ings. He said it wasn't right in a moral
point of view, to say nothing of the legal
aspect of the case, and he insinuated
that five dollars or thirty days would be
the verdict of the advisory council.
Mr.. GOulder was sulky and retiCent,
and asserted that there were towns in
the east where a man could have fun all
the liveIong day and not once feel Po-
iceman's knuckies pressing the back of
his neck. He had exactly five dollars
and cent, ard when he had paid his fine
he tossed the cent to a small boy and
went forth to do business on sixty days

I O. Observer says: A bale of cotton.
such as has never been seen in this
market before by the oldest cotton buy
er, was received yesterday by Messrs.
Oates Bros, from Isaac Harris, esq, of
MOoresviIle. Irdell county. 1t is of the
exact texture of wool; it has almost no
staple at all, and while certainly a spe-
cies of this staple, has very few of its
/ qualities. Handouts of it have been
| brought here before by the farmers,
among whom it is known as vegetable
wool cotton, but this Is the first bale ever
seen here. 1t has understandable value
in this market, and will be shipped by
/ Messrs. Oates Brothers to Philadelphia.
/ Mr.. Harris expects to realize a large
/ price for it, but cotton men here doubt
/ if he will be able to do this, since the
/ growth can not be adapted to the uses to
/ which either cotton or wool, strictly
! speaking, is applied. 1t is so far from
being cotton that no classification can be
/ found for it, and it is just as far from be-
ing wool.
