Railroad Literature,

AS q rule railroad men are among

men though occasionally by favor a
man will get position for which he Is
about as we'll fitted as monkey is for

headed ignorance has come to hand.
A man In this city went to the Texas
and Pacific depot for some goods ship

boxes household goods aud one chest.
The chest was missing, so he put In
claim against the company, and agent

CHUNK"
An Audience Addressed by u giog-Thc
Most Intelligent Canine In the world

Am Audience Addressed by gi0g-'Thc
Most Intelligent Canine In the world
1t has been the good fortune of we
reporter to have read "EWOmnle qui
,R," and to listen to the "womau who
talks" but to have the pleasure Of list
ening to a dog who speaks, was u Top
notch above our dearest hopes. Such
was the good fortune OF quite o num-
Der yesterday. Main street opposite
the LeGrand hotel was the scene of
operations. Mr. G. Frasher Howard,
Of San Francisco, treated the hystRnd-
ers to an exhibition OF the wonderful
powers, intelligence and Sagacity of
his celebrated dog, CHUNK" Stand
ing on Craddock's corner he ordered
the dog in an ordinary tone of voice,
to cross the street and stand on the
hydrant; this was done by Chunk, and
what WAS more wonderful, Mr.. IL. did
not poiut, or make any gesture to di.
rect his attention to the object, either
in this case or in any OF tho subse-
quent tricks which were performed by
the dog. Speaking again in a
tone OF voice just sufficient to
DO audible across the street
he ordered Chunk to walk down the
sidewalk and sit up in n chair which
stood in front Of the hotel door This
was done, A boy stepped out into the
street, and at an order from his mas
ter Chunk jumped over his head. At
another command he took the hat of
of the boys head and would not allow
him to regain 1t till ordered to do so by
his master. A wagon stood close by,
and Mr.. H., in IL gentle tone, told
Chunk to get up IN the drivers seat
and make a speech, When the dog
had got there, Mr.. Ii. said, show the
folks how the old darkey did at meet
ing in Memphis. Az this Chunk be-
gan a series of chants, and intoned
them very much like an old exhorter.
Last, but not least, his master took a
piece of bread, and told him if he
would say, "Please, William" he
might have it. Wonderful as it may
seem, this dog articulated the words,
not once alone, but dozen times, as
plainly as any child of four or five
years of age could do it. This exceeded
anything ever seen, or heard of, before
in dog history. The crowd became SC
great that Mr.. II. withdrew, TuE
HERALD's reporter interviewed him,
and learned that he had trained and
owned the dog since it was six weeks
old. The dog is n full blooded, double
nosed English setter, born in Califor.
MIA, of imported parents. Mr.. II. has
had him between four and five years,
and there ia not money enough to buy
him.

A YOung Lndy Expires During the
0pera'iOD--Interesiimg Medical Bo-
veIOpmentS.
Yesterday young lady named Ad-
die Otto, aged sixteen years, expired
shortly after an operation had been
performed upon her wind pipe, with
q hope Of prolonglng life which
would have certainly have been lost
otherwise. The case having attracted
considerable attention from the med
zeal fraternity, and having been
brought to the notice OF the Medical
association, TaE HERALD deems IL Of
sufficient interest to give to the public
the main points in the case. Some
four years ago Miss Otto was treated
for caturrh of the nose, and throat; the
treatment produced weakness OF the
trachea Two years ago she lost her
speech, and since that time has never
been able to talk above whisper.
The trouble was always confined to
the throat, and neither local or c0nsti-
tuti0nal treatment was Of any service,
Ten days ago her condition be-
came dangerous, violent par
oxysms set IN, threatening asphyxia.
She had become very emaciated, and
her whole system was depleted. Yes
terday death seemed imminent; IL was
impossible for her TO stand any further
paroXysms; and a. u dcraier resort, to
prolong for time her life, but with
no hope of eflecting cure, the opera
ton was decided on. Her breath was
very short DR.. Leak operated, assist

The HERALD Is sorry 10 think that
