Good Dog.

A rich merchant of Paris has a hand
some country house in the environs which
he only occupies from July to September.
The rest Of the year the property is under
the care of Lerat, an old soldier retired
from service. About May list, while Lerat
was smoking his pipe before the door, two
men in blouses, carrying a large goods
box On q ,handbarrow, asked his leave to
deposit the box for an hour in the gar
den. Lerat assented; the box was set
down behind the stable, and the men de =
parted. In the evening Lerat's dog be-
gan to bark savagely. Lerat went to see
what was the matter and found the dog
guarding.the chest barking and show
ing his5fangs significantly. Lerat crept
on tiptoe to the box, and heard movements
in it. He ran at once for his gun, got the
gardener, and, returning, opened the chest.
A man in blouse sprang out and at
tempted to escape, but Lerat covered him
with his gun, and the man, instead of
evading. fell upon his knees and begged
Lerat not to betray him; he would con-
TESS everything. Lerat, however, handed
him over to the police, who set trap and
captured his two accomplices, trying to
break INTO the house. The goods box
dodge, it seems, has been frequently tried
of late.

A Gamin'S Generosity.

There was Grape hanging to door on
Beaubien street and a boy six or seven
years old stood at the gate with pale face
and red eyes. A ragged, tobacco:chew

slamming along, and he was making ready
to stick his finger into the small boys

caught sight of the Grape.

Hockey! but that's tuff!'' exclaimed
the imp, and he began searching his
pockets. After discovering that his per-

an old ci gar stub and a clay pipe, he
said:
"Sce here, bub, I'd like to give you

Power of a Dead Child.

lOLast Tuesday afternoon, says the Mem
phis Aralanche of recent date, Detective
Pryde stepped on board the steamer

preaching a brunette leading white
poodle, politely told her that she was
wanted on telegram received from st.
Louis. ats my husband" said she; II
will wait, but he can never INDUCE me to
live with him again" She walked to the
Worsham House with a firm tread and
her white poodle trotted behind her. The
husband arrived in due time. An inter-
view was arranged and took place, Mr..
Gardner approached madam with extend
ed hand, but madam would have none of
it. What did the deserted husband then?
He knew we'll the path to the woman's
heart. Tenderly and gently he led her
memory back to. the little cradle and its
baby inmate in which mingled their
blood in common thence he brought to
her mind the baby shoes, the little torn
apron, the ball, the marble that re-
manned of their idol, now in Heaven. The
mothers heart, through the little dead
form and the sad picture of the white
flowers on a short coffin, warmed again
toward the father of her boy. Her face
twitched with emotion, and as the bright
days of the honeymoon were brought
back to her thoughts sobs shook her frame
and between tears she said: "1'll return
with you." The battle was won.

From tho Providence journal. "a
Last evening at 8 o'clock, as officer U.

trolling his beat near Benedict Pond, he
saw an object floating near the shore
which attracted his attention, and on go

found woman's hat sand shaw lying
near the waters edge. Failing to procure
boat, young colored man who had ar
rived, went in at the request Of the
officer, and brought the object, which it
was then too dark to see distinctly, to the
shore, where it was found to be the dead
body of woman. On closer examina-

Atchison (Kan.) Champion.
During the trial of the celebrated
Leavenworth baby case, in which two wo-
menclaimed to have given birth to the same
child, one Of the lawyers, m the course of
his remarks, pointed to the painting of
Solomon ordering the child to be severed
in halves, and divided between the two
women. His Scriptural knowledge being
small he alluded to PLATE instead Of Sol
onion. The. opposing counsel, supposing
he knew all about it, instantly jumped to
his feet and called him Id fool, he
stating that the order was by Caesar and
not PLATE. After heated discussion
they agreed to leave it to the judge. His
Honor decided that both attorneys were
talking of subject foreign to their
knowledge, and pointing to the painting
said it was intended to represent Hcrod
and not Plate or Caesar. The lawyers
considered the matter as settled, and pro-
ceeded with the case.

that there was no base ball for him that
afternoon; and, if he, didn't get the
kindling split before his father came

would make Science open her eyes when

Out OF W ork..

This is the CRY IN every town and vii
lage throughout the; entire country from
Maine to California, and still there are two
sides to the story, for nine out OF every
ten of the men who cannot find anything
to do, would not accept work at 1alr
wages if offered them. As sample OF
their earnest endeavors to find WORK, we
may cite recent instance occurring IN
Indianapolis, Qnd.) where seVera! thou
sand men demand work or bread. fhe
proprietors of a stone quarry at >Vandalia
offered employment to a large number Ot
these, and free passes were given tor the
railroad. : Eighteen accepted the passes,
but only five used them, and not one of
the latter went to work. Isitany wonder
that business flags and capitalists prefer
to loan money at. three per cent. rather
than risk it where they will be at the
mercy of Trades Unions and untrust-
worthy laborers generally2 No sooner
does a man get the foundation of build
ing fairly under way, than the masons
and other laborers employed strike, and
force him to pay higher wages or lose
that which he has already invested.
A few days since the foundation stone
for a new silk-mill was laid in Paterson,
N. j., and the next day the operatives in
all the other mills struck, declaring that
if business was good enough to insure the
building of another mill, it was certainly
good enough to pay better wages in those

Amusing Scene in a Law Office.

Two elegantly dressed ladies entered
the office Of prominent lawyer on Fay
cite street, Baltimore, and looking round,
as if expecting other surroundings than
green baize covered desks and volumes
in law calf, inquired timidly: lis this a
laundry Officer"
The attorney, supposing she had said a
lawyers Office, replied: ''Yes, madam, "
and having asked the ladies to be seated,
drew his chair up beside them, expecting
to hear the points of a tirst-class case.
The ladies were encouraged by his
courtesy, and one opened her satchel and
drew forth what the lawyer supposed to
be a bundle of valuable family docu-
ments; he put up his hand to assist her
to extricate it from the bag. His face
fairly beamed with expectancy as he
drew forth one end of the treasure, the
lady holding on to the other end, and he
was about to PROFOUND a leading question,
when the bundle unrolled; disclosing a
bifurcated garment. richly trimmed with
laces, pointing to which the lady eagerly
asked: will this do up?" The lawyer
gazed with horror from his branch of the
garment to that held by the lady, and
stammered out confusedly: MADAM, you
have made mistake; this is law office,
not a laundry" Both started to their
feet, still grasping the contents of the
bag, the other lady looking on in dismay,
and the tableau was complete.
Mutual explanations followed. and the
ladies Withdrew.

The Romance Of. a Bose

A story comes fresh from the coal mines
of the Lackawanna valley-a simple story,
but rich with immense possibilities. In
the "Diamond" shaft there was no stead-
Ter, harder worker than Jim Gardener.
What he did with his money was long
mystery-hc had no wife, no family, no
txpensive habits, mo relatives, TINT any;
one knew of, and yet no savings bank
account. y It was learned laterthat all but
the littleineedcd foEhis daily swants'wcnt
for charity-tound its way quietly, un-
obtrusively, rnt0 the huts of women and
children whose husbands and fathers had
gone down in the crush of falling timber
or come forth black and crisp from the
scorching fire damp. There was some
thing about Gardener that suggested a
former life of higher grade. He talked
but little, but that was in words we'll
chosen and Of choice dialect. His dress
was as rough as the toughest, but he car
ried it as man who had been used to
face the world smilingly. They called
him "Gentleman. Jim" in the mines, but
they all liked him as q man who always
played fair and askedlno odds. ss
In the accident of last April, when the
roof of a part of a mine fell in, Gardiner
was killed. 1t appeared in the evidence
that there were few seconds during the
crack of timbers before the roof fairly
came down, and in that brief time, in
those few beats of the pulse, "Gentleman
Jim" had caught two boys with his lion
like strength, and tossed them clear out
of the fatal chamber into the safe mair
alley. Then he went down with the
roof. When his body was recovered thu
next day they found him with his righr
hand thrust inside his vest and claspine
tight a little pocketbook. There was
nothing in it save card, on which wa
fastened, with a drop Of sealing wax OF
the stem, all that remained of a roscbuC
and two geranium leaves. Underneath
was written, in a woman's hand, "Morse-
z'oute Il toi-June 4, 1867" Just below
was written in mans hand. "June, 1876

1.-THE Sure Wltness.''

"Thc ninctceth century is the age of
