The latest dog story is told of two
brutes Of that species who fell to fight
ing in a saw-mill upon the Cache-a-la-
Poudre. In the course of the tussle
n of the dogs went plump against a
saw in rapid motion, which cut him in
two instanter. The hind legs ran away,
but the fore legs continued to fight, and
whipped the other dog. Another proof
that the ruling passion is strong in
death.

Robert Dale Owens Marriage.

The story of Mr.. Owens marriage is q
remarkable one. His wife's maiden name
was Mary Jane Robinson. They were
married in New York, April 10, 1882
No one performed any ceremony; simply
a contract was drawn up by Mr.. Owen,
which Miss Robinson and he both signed
in the presence of friends and witnesses.
It said:
I'VE contract legal marriage, not be-
cause we deem the ceremony necessary to
US, or useful in rational state of public
opinion to society, but because if we be-
came companions without a legal cere-
mony, we should either be compelled to
series of dissimulations which we both
dislike, or be perpetually exposed to an
noyances originating in public opinion
which is powerful, though unenIightened,
and whose power, though we do not fear
or respect it, we do not perceive the util-
ity Of unnecessarily Drawing. We desire
tranquil life, in so far as it can be OBJ
tanned without sacrifice Of principle. y =
The ceremony, toe, involvesn not the necessi-
ty of making promises regarding thatover
which we have no control-the state Of
human affection in the distant future {;
nor of repeating forms we deem offensive,
in as much as they outrage the principles
of human liberty and equality by confer
ring rights and imposing duties IN
equally on the sexes. OF the
unjust rights which, in virtue Of this cere
mony, an iniquitous law tacitly gives me
over the person and property OF another,
I cannot legally, but can morally, divest
myself. And hereby distinctly and en-
phatically declare that consider myself,
and earnestly desire to be considered by
others, as utterly Invested, now and dur
ing the rest of my life, of any such rights,
the barbarous relics of feudal and des-
potic system, soon destined, in the on
ward course of Improvement, to be wholly
swept away, and the existence of which is
a tacit insult to the good sense and good
feeling of the present comparatively civ
iliZed age"
This covenant was kept with religious
fidelity until the last. Mrs. Owen died
in August, 1871. "All grief which con
vulses the features" says Ruskin, sis ig-
noble" Robert Dale Owen, who had
deeply loved his wife for forty years, had
the heart to conduct the funeral services
at her grave. He said on that occasion:
81 do not believe-and here speak for
her whose departure from among US we
mourn to-day do not believe more
firmly in these trees that spread their
shade over us, in this hill on which we
stand, in those sepulchral monuments
which we see around Us here-than l do
that human life, once granted, perishes
peyermore. She believed, as l
believe, that the one life succeeds the
other without interval, save brief transi-
ton slum Der, it may be of a few hours
only. Again believe, as she
did, in the meeting and recognition of
friends in heaven. While we mourn here
below, there are joyful reunions above. =

A Remarkable AutOmaton.

Messrs. Maskelyne s. Cooke, of Lon.
don, have invented new automaton
which bids fair to rival the reputation
acquired by their celebrated Paycho, the
mystery Of whose operation has not vel
been discovered. Mr.. Maskelyne sub.
mits to the examination of his audience
small stand or table, having an oblong
base or plinth of wood, resting on five
small knob feet, also Of solid wood, and
single wood pillar supports the thin
table top, which, on its upper surface, is
of silk stuffed like cushion. This light
stand is then placed on the stage, and is
isolated from the carpet on the floor by
fat squares of clear plate glass, first in
spected by the audience, and then, with
out possibility of substitution, laid one
under each foot of the table. The auto
nation, Zoe" the model of young
lady in Greek costume, is fashioned in u
sitting attitude, and if she could stand
up would be about four and half feet
in stature. She is carried round so that
all may test by her weight the fact that
she is certainly a hollow doll fitted with
light mechanism, and cannot possibl y
be an outside shell holding diminutive
human being within. She is then placed
sitting upon the stuffed top of the little
table with her back to the audience; an
easel supported by bracket from the
table top holds upright before her, and
at nearly arms length, drawing board
with sheet of paper about twenty one
inches long by eighteen broad, and Il
crayon is held between her wax finger
and thumb by means of a sliding pencil
arrangement, with small weight which,
when the crayon is applied to the paper,
maintains a uniform pressure sufficient
for distinct marking. Thus prepared,
''Zoe" is ready for work. In some mys-
terious manner she initiates the motions
of an artists arm with facility, holds her
crayon in professional form, strikes
true line across her easel in mastery
manner, promptly carries her hand from
one point of the drawing board to an
other, carefully,ye instantaneously, raises
her pencil from the paper and transfers
it to another spot, returns to add touches
and insert omissions. and finally lowers
her arm and hand when the sketch is
completed She does not execute merely
the particular specimens of writing, fig
uring, and drawing which she might be
instructed and set to do. She executes
anything she has mind to, or, in other
words, she can write any letters or num-
Der called for by the audience, and de-
signs, forms and pictures impromptu, ac-
cording to the ability of the secret opera
tor who must carefully govern her move
ments. The figure is absolutely detached
and isolated; hence the multifarious and
complicated movements it is capable of
producing borders on the marvellous.

The Doge's Palace.

The Doge's palace is built in style OF
architecture which is all its own and
which makes it stand out distinctly in
the memory, apart from all the great
buildings Of the world. One wanders
through its beautiful court, with its two
wells of richly embossed bronze in the
center, at which laughing girls are gos-
siping and drawing water in copper
buckets, and studies its facades, inlaid
with blocks Of marble of various colors,
like great checkerboard, and its win
dows, filed with the little round panes
set in metal, popularity of old Venice,
and climbs the giants stairs, pausing
awhile to note the spot at the top where
Doge Marino Falieri was beheaded as u
traitor in his eightieth year, and peeps at
the hole in the wall where the lions head
used to stand, into whose mouth you
could i'll the good old times slip an anony-
nous charge against your enemy or rival,
citing him rs u conspiratOr against the
republic, and he would probably myste-
riOusly disappear and be seen no more.
Between those two red columns on the
balcony capital sentences were read to
the crowd below, and mine host saw Sill
VIC Pellico placed there to listen to his;
while, over the leaden roof above, Casa
navo, breaking from the dreadful cells Of
the "Pionabi," made his wonderful escape
into the canals and thence to France,
which rang through all Europe. Then
you climb up the beautiful Scala d. Orc,
or golden steps, which formerly no one
could ascend unless his family were reg
istered in the Golden Book of Naples.
And you stroll, guide-book in hand,
through the beautiful library and council
their walls hung with enor-
nous pictures Zone, Tntorettos Paradise,
the la' gest in the worldD principally of
sea fights, triumphs and treaties, of the
proud days when Venetian Doges were
the equals of Kings, her fleets the largest
and best in the world, and when she kept
astute ambassadors at every European
Court, who made constint reports of the
condition Of the country to which they
were accredited, which reports are now
to the historians of those coun-
tries their most fruitful and instructive
guides.

"BrOken Links"

Tell me not the chain is broken,
Golden links of kindred ties,
While it ever binds us nearer
To our loved ones in the skies;
For 'tis like the mystic cable,
Slumbering meath the oceans roar
HID from sight, yet ever joining
Closely, strangely, shore TO shore.
Only shifting, never broken,
Is the chain forever bright;
Links, though darkened to our vision,
CLEAN with celestial light;
While from earth We glance along it,
Ruptured seems the golden line;
Looking from the gates eternal,
Links unsevered softly shine.
Yes, we count them sadly over,
One by one, the links, we say,
How they're breaking ever from us,
How they're passing all away;
Only changing are our loved ones,
Only gone from earth away;
Dwell they not, more dear than ever,
In our hearts from day to day:
Kindred ties, with links eternal,
Wrought and woven at our birth,
Were they only made to bind us
While we linger here on earths
Tell me not the chain is broken,
For only look the more,
As my loved ones gather on il,
To the everlasting shore.
Tell me not the chain is broken,
Guided by angelic hand,
For 1t draws me ever nearer
To the bright, the spirit land.
And | turn from life and sorrow,
To my loved ones in the skies,
Looking from up earth to heaven,
Ever up, with longing eyes.

Hard Training.

A Tartar trains his hOrse-a strong,
large-headed animal-in manner novel
to see. He selects an animal rising on
eight-one younger than seven is not con-
siuered tit for raiding purposes-and
fastens the saddle To his back, then loads
the saddle with sack of earth
or sand. The first burden imposed
equals only the weight of the rider, but
is gradually increased for eight days to
about three hundred pounds. AS the
weight is increased the ration of food and
water is diminished. He is trotted aud
walked seven miles daily. At the end Of
eight days the load is gradually lightened
for eight succeeding, while the ration of
food and water is still decreased. The
last two days the horse is given abso-
lutcly nothing to eat or drink. On the
nneteenth day he is worked until be per-
spires, then he is unsaddled, and buckets
of ice water are poured ever him. Wet
and weak he is picketcd to the open
steppe and allowed to Craze for seven
days. Severe rs this training is, it Is not
too harsh preparation for tAe hardships
which the animal will DO obliged to en-
dure. 1t is nm epitome of what he often
has to undergo in the actual foray, being
called to swim half-frozen rivers, to carry
great weight, to go for days almost with
out food land to be picketed to the steppes,
perhaps sweating from long journey, in
snow aud heat, without covering. The
Persian horse, who is three parts Arab,
and both fleet and enduring, receives diff
ferent treatment, without detriment to
his race. Instead Of being turned out
into the snow to rough it like his Tartar
cousin, he is clothed, fed, groomed, and
warmly stabbed. When occasion requires
he can stand great deal Of hardship.
The rude discipline to which the Tartar
horse is subjected cannot readily he de-
Tended by those who live in country OF
civilization. Frequently the animal dies
during the process Of training.

RoUMANIAN MEN AND WOMEN.-GeI

ROUMANIAN MEN AND WOMEN.-Gen-
orally the Roumanians, and more partic-
ularly the Wallachians, have handsome
dark faces, eyes full of expression, and
beautifully cut mouths, showing, as they
smile, teeth of remarkable whiteness.
Their hands and feet are siugularly small,
and their wrists and ankles as delicate as
those of a Grecian statue. Adroit in
body. light and graceful in their move
ments, they are indefatigable on the
march, and support, without murmur,
the most severe fatigue. Their national
costume is worn with inimitable elegance,
and even the Wallachian shepherd, with
his tall cachoula, his broad leather belt,
his sheepskin mantle, and full drawers,
which recall the Dacian "breeks" sculp-
tured upon Trajan's column, strikes the
traveller as a model of native dignity
The women are grace personified. Wheth
er they have remained faithful to their
traditional costume, with the wide en-
broidered chemisette, floating vest, many
colored apron, and hair net brilliant with
gold and sequins, or have adopted modern
toilets, they always charm with their
perfect taste. Besides this, the Rouna-
uian lady adds to her exterior advan-
tages quick intelligence, communica-
tive gayety, and readiness of repartee
which has made her the Partisan of the
East. 1t is the women of Wailachia, and
not the waters of the river Bucharest, who
have given birth to the proverb: 20 Dim
bovi:za. he who has drank from thee
Can no longer leave thy banks!"

A Grouse Filtration.

In the breeding season, the cocks select
some hollow fallen tree, and suffering
up and down, beat it with their wings,
making a mutfled, drumming sound, that
can be heard for half q mile. The beat
is at irregular intervals, beginning slowly
and measuredly, and gradually increas-
ing in quickness, until it ends in u roll.
If the bird succeeds in finding dry
log, perfectly hollow and we'll placed,
his tattoo of welcome can he heard a
mile, and it is one of the peasante-t of
woodland sounds. 1t has the same &C
CELEBRATED pace, and is about the same
duration as the call of the raccoon, and
is only heard in the day time, as the rae
coon's is only heard at night. When its
mate hears the drumming, she slowly APP
proaches, and, coquettishly picking at
seeds she does not want, comes within
sight of the drummiDg-log. No maiden
is seemingly more unconscious of the
man she desires to attract than is this
russell dame of her gallant musician. A
snail is on the May-apple plant right be-
fore her; she pecks at it three times be-
fore hitting it, and then scratches negli
gently at imaginary seeds. The cock
raises his ruff till it looks like Queen
Elizabeth's; the yellow skin beneath
Pushes with pride; he spreads his tail
like fan; he thrums his guitar, clucks
an Introductory welcome or two, and
launches himself out aud flies to his
bride. If. however, another cock hears
the drumming, he feels insulted at the
sound On what he considers his own do
minion. He flies to the drumming log
and dashes ut the brave drummer, and
the one who is inferior in courage
and strength yields his place to the bold
er, and retires scomfited.-Scribner's
