The Paris correspondent of the
Graphic tells the following anecdote !:
"Dupuytreu was a famous surgeon, =,
but brusque and unpublished a routrancs.
One day as he re-entered his house, he
found installed in the anteroom an old
priest, who had long been awaiting his
return. ''What do you want of me 2"
grOwled Dupuytreu. 81 wish you to
look at this" meekly replied the priest,
taking off an cid wOolen cravat, which
revealed upon the nape of the neck a
hideous tumor. Dupuytreu looked at it.
you'll have to die with that" he
coolly remarked. "Thanks, DOCTOR"
simply replied the priest, replacing his
cravat; "I'm much obliged to you for
warning me, as can prepare myself as
well as my poor parishioners, who love
me very much" The surgeon, who
was never astonished at great things,
looked upon this priest, who received
his death sentence unmoved, with
amazement, and added, "Come to-mor-
row, at eight O'Clock, to the hotel Dieu,
and ask for me-" The priest was
prompt. The surgeon procured for him
a special room in the hospital, and in
months time the man went out cured.
When leaving he took out of sack
thirty francs in small change. ''It is
all L can offer you, DOCTOR" he said; 81
came here on foot from R in order
TO save this" The doctor looked at the
money, smiled, and drawing handful
of gold from his pocket, put it in the
bsg along with the thirty francs, say
ing, ''It is for your poor" and the
priest went away. Some years later the
celebrated doctor, feeling death to be
near, bethOught himself of the good
cure and wrote to him. He came, and
Dupuytreu received from him the "last
consultations, and died In his arms.

1t would not be pleasant task to re-
view the list of influences which led to
the great strike. Some of them-more
important than has been popularity
imagined-have had little notice; and
they lie so far back, or 80 deep down,
that they are not likely to be talked
about. That the railroad force of the
country has been very badly demOra-
lized, is evident enough; but if we
should say that its decentralization had
come mainly through its rulers and
employers, we should be met with
pretty universal incredulity, if not
with indignant protest.
The example which directors and
managers have set to those in their en-
ploy has not been good one. The
men who have done the hard work of
the railroad have looked on and seen
others get rich by illegitimate means.
They have seen whole boards of direc-
tors drop off gorged from schemes that
have left the stock interests without

have seen stock watered, tampered
with, robbed. They have seen railroads
which had absorbed the livings of trust
full widows and orphans managed solely
for the private interests of their presit
dents and directors. They have seen
roads built with bonds that were lies,
and were known to be lies. They have
seen roads in ruinous competition with
each other, while they were compelled
by this competition to do their work at
small wages. They have been made to
work upon the Sabbath, and have been
shut away from all religious
instruction by those who, with sancti-
monious faces and conveniently obtuse
have ''taken sweet counsel
and walked to the House of
God in company" The railroad cor
porations are very few that have mani
tested the slightest interest in ther em-
ployes beyond getting out of them what
it was possible to get for the considera-
ton agreed upon.-.ScribRer.

Mr.. Baxter, a poor laboring man,
was the owner of a fine dog, whose
name was Dandy. Having to remove
from one village to another i'm the State
of Maine, Mr.. Baxter hired small
wagon on which his furniture was
packed. Then he led the horse, while
Dandy followed him.
When he came to the place where he
was to stop, Mr.. Baxter unloaded his
wagon, but was sorry to find that a
chair and a basket were missing from
the back part of the wagon, and that
Dandy, also, could not be found. The
day passed; and, as the dog did not ap-
pear, the poor man feared that some
thing must have happened to him.
The next day, as Mr.. Baxter was on
his way back to the old cottage to take
away another load, he heard the bark
of dog, which sounded very much
like Dandy's.-Judge how glad he was
when he saw by the roadside, not only
his lost property, but his faithful Dandy,
seated erect by the chair and basket,
keeping strict guard over them.
They had fallen from the wagon when
Mr.. Baxter was not looking; but
Dandy had seen them, and, like good
dog, felt it his duty to stay behind and
guard what belonged to his master.
Although left for so long a time
without food, the faithful creature had
never quilted the spot where the chair
and basket had fallen. But, when he
saw his master, how glad was poor
Dandy. He leaped up, put his paws
on the mans shoulders, and barked
with joy.
Good Dandy. good Dandy." said
Mr.. Baxter: you must be hungry, old
fellow. Come along: you shall have
a good dinner for this. While have
a crust of bread, I'll share it with you,
you noble old dog"
