A Clever Dog.
DuTinu the n

During the meeting of the British Asso-
citation at Glasgow, friend of mine had
occasion to go one day from that place to
Greenock on business. Hearing, on his
arrival, that the person hewished to see was
out, but expected shortly to return home,
he determined to take a stroll about the
town, to which he was stranger. In the
course of his walk he turned into a
bakers shop and bought a bun. As he
stood at the door of the shop eating his
bun, large dog came up to him and
begeed for share, which he got. and
set med to enjov, coming back for niece

The following remarks were made by
Vice President Wheeler before taking the
oath of Office in the Senate Chamber:
SENATORS: Official station ever brings
with it corresponding duty and RESPONSE
bIlity of services. How delicate, and at
times difficult and complex, are the du-
ties which the oath l am about to take will

to administer its rules in their true spirit,
with courteous frmness, and by all means
In my power to facilitate and expedite its
deliberations. In doing this, l shall need
your aid, your generous forbearance, and at
times your lenient judgment, upon all of
which l know may confdentially RELY, WHEN
you shall be satisfied of the rectitude of nv
intention. l trust that the relation about to
be established between US may be mutually
pie SAINT aud productive of good to the best
interests of our National Commonwealth.
Mr.: President, l am now ready to take the

A Cruel Joke.

The particulars of a disgraceful hoax
perpetrated the other day at Alencon are
given by local paper. A young clerk in
a notary's office in that town took it into
his head to send letter to ten hunch-
backs In variour parts of the country,
whose addresses he had obtained, request
ing them to attend on certain day at the
office OF his employer for the purpose of
receiving a communication of great inn
portance to themselves. At the hour
named, when the first hunchback made
his appearance, the head of the firm hap
pened to be engaged, and he was asked to
take seat for few minutes The other
nunchbacks then began to arrive in rapid
succession. A second soon entered, fol-
lowed by third and fourth. The aston
ished clerks could hardly keep their coun-
tenances as the four hunchbacks glanced
ut each other suspiciously out of the
corners Of their eyes, and when an ava
lanche of six more hunchbacks descended
on the office III body, the effect over
towering. The clerks could not longer
preserve their gravity, and even the chief
clerk himself was quite unable to control
his emotions. The only serious persons
IN the Office were the ten hunchbacks,
who, seeing that there was a g mystifica-
ton" lost their tempers, and in stentorian
voices gave vent to their irritation. In
the meantime the notary, alarmed by the
unusual noise, rushed into the room and
was thunderstruck at finding ten infuri-
ated hunchbacks gesticulating and CAB
bling at the top of their voices, while the
clerks were absolutely convulsed with
laughter. Peace being with difficulty re-
stored, the hunchbacks showed the letters
they had received requesting their pres
ence at the office, The notary, with
many apologies, informed them that they
had been made the victims of an ill-timed
pleasantly, and that the culprit when dis
covered would assuredly be dismissed.
By latest accounts, however, he had not
been detected, although the chief clerk
"has his suspicious n-PnM Nall Gnzette.

From the United States Consul at Buci,a-
rest.
Referring to the visit to the President and
Secretary of State, on the I'd of May last, of a
deputatiOn from the Board of Delegates OF
American Israeltes, who presented written
statement respecting recent harbarities com
mitted upon tho Jews of Giurgev0, IA town In
Wallachia,) and urging the Department Of
State to request its representatives at Vienna,
Constantinoplo and st. Petersburg to act in
conjunction with Representatives of these Pow
ers In endeavoring to reprcss further atroci-
ties, the United States consul at bucharest In
u dispatch dated May 81 last, assures the De.
partment, from his own inquiries that no other
outragcs have been committed on the Rou-
manian Jews since November last, when sew.
cral hundred jewish inhabitants were driven
away from the rural communes of the district
of Washic, in Moldavia. The consul at that
time used his hest cndeavors to have the Gov
crnhent rcpress At once these inh,iman cxpul-
sions. but only after they had been allowed ia
20 on for about four months was IL possible to
attain the resignation OF the Project Lupashku
who had issued the orders of expulsion. In
many instances the orders were withdrawn
and several of the expelled lsraeltes who were
wandering shclterless, about the country with
their wives and children, exposed to cold aud
hunger, were allowed to return 10 their homes
where they found their property destroyed.
They cannot expect compensation for thcii
losses or redress for the wrongs practiced upon
them.
The expulsions are all based upon articles S
and IL of the liquor law, passed IN 1873, which
excludes from the liquor traffic In the rural
communcS 'all persons not inscribed as cleo,
tors in one of tho communcs of Roumania,"
thereby virtually prohibiting all Israelitcs
from continuing or engaging in this trade
The Government, on the representation of the
consulS, repeatedly pledged itself not to enforce
this law aud to have the same repealed, but
the law is still in force, and II ouly depends on
the humOr Of project or other subaltcn
official to enforce those clauses, close the
stores Of the lsraelites, COnRSCate their good,
and cxpcl them from their homes No persc.
cution has, however, taken place at GiurgevO
The impression Of such prosecutions probably
originated in the reported murder Of Jewish
family, who, while flying from Giurgovo on
account Of its being exposed to bombardmcnt
by the Turks, were assaulted, grossly NAL
treated aud killed on tho high road.
