A Dog, a Man, and a Mule.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

Iiph1 the -AtldiAtd NoH>IlIutlou
A North Carolina WAGNER sold his
dog to Laurens county man the other
day for half barrel of sorghum syrup.
The dog, however, refused to be sold and
took refuge under the wagon. The
Laurens county man crawled after him
with piece of meat in one hand and a
rope in the other. Although there were
several spectators of the scene that en-
sued it is difficult to get at the facts.
All agree that there was scuffie under
the wagon, accompanied by yelps and
yells; but no one is willing to affirm that
the man had the dog or the dog had the
man. Finally, the dog, as it would
seem, brushed up against the hind legs OF
the off mule and then ali was still. 1t is
not certain what killed the dog. One OF
the spectators said he thought he heard
trace-chain rattle, but when he went
around to examine the mule she was
asleep. The man had lost his hat, hi;
coat and the greater part Of his trousers
and subsequent examination proved that
the dog died with one ear and handful
of hair in his mouth.

Silver Mining on the Lower Levels
A Kissing Hot Atmosphere.
Prom the Virginia New Enterprise.


Those who have never personally in
spected the lower levels OF our mines may
obtain some idea of the degree of heat to
be found therein by visiting the Savage
works at the change of shifts. The men
packed together as close as they can
stand on the cage-are popped up out of
the shaft all steaming hot, for all the
world like a bunch of asparagus Just lift
ed from the pot They make their APP
pearance in cloud of steam that pours
up continuously from the depths pro-
found" and are dimly seen until they
step forth upon the floor of the works.
AS the men land and separate, each car
ries with him for half minute his little
cloud of vapor AS this passes off the
man is seen to be naked from the waist
up, the skin as wet as though he had just
been lifted out of pool of water The
men bring up with them-besides the
steam-an amount of heat that may be
felt by the spectator as they pass All
this is at the top of the shaft, where it is
considered quite cool-what, then, must
it be hundreds of feet below, where the
men started from-down where the water
stands at 157 degrees Fahrenheit!
Down there no steam is SCENT is
too hot for it. 1t is only when
the hot, moist air coming up from the
lower regions strikes the cool air toward
the top of the shaft that it takes the
form of steam Down there where the
men come from you must keep your
hands off the pump column and the
pipes, and if you pick up an iron tool you
will at once put it down without being
told to do So Down there they handle
things with gloves on, or wrap rags
about the drills they are guiding and
iron apparatus they are moving, and
down there, too, you will learn to keep
your mouth shut after you have drawn
lungs. Perspire? 1t is no name for it.
You are like sponge that is being
squeezed. You are ready to believe that
you have ten million pores to every
square inch of surface, or as many more
as any authority may mention, and that
these pores are as big as the cells of a
honey comb. You 90 for ice water and
it amo,t seems to hiss as passes down
your throat-you keep going for it, and
thus, IN a short time, find out what be-
comes of the tons and tons of ice that
arc daily consumed in the mines. Re
main below among the miners for an
hour or two, and when you are finally
popped out at the top of the shaft, all
red-hot steaming, among the other aspar-
agus sprouts. you will appreciate the
beauty, the light and the GOODNESS of the
upper world.

The Lawyer and the Emetic.

A correspondent sends to the Manches-
ter (England) Courier the following
story 1t happens that in one of the
principal streets of certain cathedral
city there fourishes chemist and in an
other a lawyer, each eminent in his
peculiar line. Like other chemists and
lawyers one physics his patients by
potlons and the other satisfies the wound
ed honor of his clients by the summun,
jus, which probably strikes the "other
side" occasionally as sunama iaju-ia.
Being thus, somewhat of the same feather
it is not wonderful that they sometimes
came together. The fact is they came
together rather more frequently than the
apothecary's assistant liked.
Whether it was because cold -
was always at his elbow and looking over
at him at his business or not, for some
reason that individual conceived the
idea of getting rid of his master $
friend. Accordingly one fine day lately
cold -" turned in us usual, and found
the assistant alone. The master bad
gone out, but that did not deter the
lawyer from taking his seat on the
corner of the counter where the assis-
tant was busy pounding some lump sugar
In mortar. Turning toward a shelf, he
fancied he saw our friend the lawyer dex-
terously wetting his fingers with his
tongue, and having dipped them in the
powdered sugar applying them to that
member with evident signs and smacks of
enjoyment. The time mad come. and the
young chemist resolved upon his course.
Resuming his postal he began pounding
away, but in a moment stopped
and began to sneeze and wipe his
eyes. "Confound that stuff" he said,
''it always makes me ill., What
stuff % exclaimed the lawyer, anxiously.
chat arsenic" replied his friend
"Arsenic" shouted the lawyer, alarmed.
Yes replied the chemist, as coolly as
he could, Il was mixing" Before he
could say more the lawyer ran about the
shop shouting "Pm poisoned; what is to
be done?" Nothing but an emetic for
it, said the assistant, forthwith getting
down the mustard from shelf; and in
a few moments poor - was retching
and groaning in the greatest agony of
body and mind.
1t is unnecessary to say that he had
not taken arsenic, but few grains of
powdered sugar. He has not been in his
friends shop since, his two chief diff
culties being, first, to know whether he
was poisoned or not, and secondly, i'll the
face of the anxious solicitations of his
friends after his health, to persuade him
self that nobody knows

THE FALL OF THE YEAR.

ColdIv and bright draws in the day;
Gloomy and drear 1t steals away;
For slowly now comes up the sun,
His Summers ardent labors done;
and low his golden wheel declines
Where Winter shows his starry signs.
No more to earth the fervid beams
Give beauty such as poet dreams;
No more descends the glorious ray,
The rapture of the Summer day.
The sky's deep blue is waxing paie,
The suns inspiring fervcrs fall;
The slanting beam he gives is chill
Within the vale and on the hill;
And now, with many a jealous fold
The clouds would all his cheer withhold,
Nor would on plaiu or height bestow
The soothing OF his waning glow,
The flowers are gone, save those that still
Like friends who cleave to us through ILL.,
ibraye the bitter wind that blows,
And deck their season to its close,
The leaves that late were only stirred
ny gcntlest breath, that only heard
The song-bird's note, rouHd these the blast
Blows Keen and fierce, and rude and fast
The rising gale filings far and wide
lhelr wlthered bloom and idle pride,
The birds have fled; the wind alone
Makes song in many sullen tone.
But sudden through the bursting sky
The sun again comes out on high;
The clouds fall back to yield him way,
And Ay before his eager ray;
And gladuess fills the breast amain-
The glimpse of Summer come againl
All sweet the beam, but ike he smile
With which the dying would beguile
The mourning heart-the last sad ray
Love gives too cheer our tears away.
The light is gone, the moments bloom
Is sunk again in cold and gloom.
80 pass away all things OF earth,
81 Af worth
The form once dear: the voice that cheered;
The friends by many tie endeared;
TIE dreams the aching heart torgetS;
The hopes that fade TO cold regrets.
sweet scenes, dear haunts, that once | knew,
Nv heart yet fondly turns 10 you.
Let seasons change, and be we bright
With all the summer-time'S delight,
Or let the Winters gloom be yours,
Your beauty still for me endures;
For Memory keeps unfaded yet

The Latest Fashion for Ladies'.

Our attention has recently been called
to the Raritaa MdtelGsse CI0akingS, some
thing entirely new in the way of heavy,
thick, warm, wooden goods, specially adapted
for ladies' wear during the cold weather
now approaching. These goods are the
handsomest, and most stylish ever seen, and
so far as price is concerned, are a miracle of
cheapness. They are intended for cloaks,
sacques, dolmans, circulars, and jackets, for
both ladies and children, and are to be
found at all the leading dry goods stores in
the country. Be particular to ask for the
