Helen Hunt gives the following ac-
count Of dog in Colorado that had
never seen a woman "As we halted
three dogs came bounding toward us,
barking most furiously. One of them
stopped suddenly, gave one searching
look at me, put her tail between her legs
and with pitiful yelp of terror turned
and fed. / walked slowly after her she
would look back over her shoulder, turn,
make one or two lunges at me, barking
shriliy, then with the same yelp of ter
ror run swiftly away; at last she grew
brave enough to keep her face toward
me, but continually backed away, alter
mating her bark of defiance with her
yelp of terror in a way which was ire
sistibly ludicrous. We were utterly per.
picked by her behavior until her master,
as soon as he could speak for laughing,
explained it. Yer see, that ere dogs
never seen woman afore She was
reared in the woods, an hain't never
took her nowheres. an that's jest the
fact ont; she dunno what TO make of a
woman 1t grew droller and droller.
the other dogs were our good friends at
once, leaped about US, snuffed US, and
licked our hands as we spoke to them.
Poor Bowser hung back and barked furi-
ously with warning and menace when
ever / patted one Of the other dogs. but
IL took q step nearer her. she howled
and fled in the most abject way"

A California Grain King.

The grain king of the Pacific, if not of
the United States, is Isaac Frielander.
He is gaunt, awkward, plain-looking
man of slashing gait, and one whose
form towers above all others in the street.
He is nearly seven feet in height and is
about fifty y-tive years of age, l should
Judge. He is the pioneer in the buying
and shipping of grain and produce from
California to foreign ports. For nearly
twenty years he has been in the bust
ness. Year after year he has paid hun
dreds and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars for wheat. He has annually ship
ped three-quarters of the wheat crop of
California to England. His business is
conducted on the most colossal scale.
Several times he has met with reverses,
but he has quickly got upon his feet
again. A few weeks ago, owing to the
financial depression and stringency in
the money market, he went under. His
liabilities were two millions of dollars.
With the advance in wheat he has been
able to compromise with his creditors at
twenty-five cents on the dollar, and has
so far recovered from his temporary en-
'barrassment as to be able to resume
business. He is man of great busi-
ness capacity and sagacity. In is stu
pendous operations he controls the
freight market and gives employment to

Pearls of Thought.

There is hope in extravaganza; there
is none in routine.
The blast that blows loudest is soon
overblown.
Each succeeding day is the scholar of
that which preceded.
Assurance never failed to get admis-
sion into the houses of the great.
Envy, among other ingredients, has a
mixture of justice in it. We are more
angry at undeserved than deserved good
fortune.
A passionate and revengeful temper
renders a man unfit for advice, deprives
him of his reason, and robs him of all
that is great and noble in his nature.
Affection can withstand very severe
storms of rigor, but not polar frost of
downright Indifference. Love will sub
sist on wonderfully little hope, but not
altogether without it.
Nothing can be more unfounded than
the notion that a love of reading, or of
science, or of any kind of knowledge units
man for his daily occupation, or makes
him discontented with it.
A man diseased in body can have little
joy of his wealth, be it ever so much. A
golden crown cannot cure the headache,
nor velvet slipper give ease to the gout,
nor purple rope drive away burning
fever.
Be more prudent for your children
than perhaps you have been for yourself.
When they, too, are parents, they will
initiate you, and each of you will have
prepared happy generations, who will
transmit, together with your memory,
the worship of your wisdom.

A Bnll.dog Kills an Alligator.

The Georgetown Comet says: One
day last week an alligator was seen
swimming in the Sampit river, near the
wharf. Capt David Steele's bulldog
was soon brought forward, and, upon
viewing the enemy, plunged off the
wharf to meet it. The gator saw what
was up, and made for the dog. While
they approached each other, not sound
could be heard from the spectators, who
were expecting, the moment they met,
to see the dog submerged, never to rise
again; but the dog got the first hold,
plunged his ugly teeth in the head Of
the ferocious monster, and caused it to
sink. 1t soon reappeared, looking as
fierce as ever. The dog aud the alliga-
tor were soon mouth and mouth, nip and
tuck, until it was thought that the dog
had conquered, the alligator disappear
ing. The dog, being exhausted, was
then picked up by boat. The gator,
however, soon appeared, and made for
the opposite shore Several persons got
in boats and pursued him until he got
under the wharf, when one of the party
fired pistol, and as soon as the report
was heard the dog leaped from the boat
and under the wharf. 1t was nip and
tuck again for awhile, but,the dog, soon
gaining the advantage, brought out his
foe dead The reptile measured five
feet and several inches.

London Thieves, Quick Work.

London deserves the palm for having
the most daring thieves on record. A
man went to see house to rent in q
street near prury lane. He left the
horse standing at the door and returned
in five minutes. The horse and buggy
were there still, but everything else was
gone. The thieves of the vicinity had
stolen the gig-lamps, the apron, the rug,
the cushion and the whip they had
filched the very blinkers, head-stall, bel
lyband and kicking-strap off the pony !;
and however that exemplary animal had
consented to remain embarrassed be-
tween the shafts might be considered as
next door to miracle. Captious people
might object because horse and all were
not stolen, but such unfair criticism is
disarmed when it is remembered that
only Ave minutes time was given td
make way with the property,

POetical Lynchers in the Black Hills.

A correspondent soiourning in the
Black Hills writes as follows from Rapid
City, d. t.: When we came to this
town everything seemed quiet and peace
full, but upon the ridge, mile west of
town, near large pine tree, were the
bodies of three young men with ghastly
blackened faces turned upward toward
the clear blue sky, the ropes dangling
from the limbs of the pine tree, and the
deep cut in their necks showing but too
plainly how they died. During the day
two or three men went out northwest
from town to get some logs, and were
surprised, when about four miles out,
by people whom they supposed to be
Indians, Judging by the way they rode
their horses. Being with an OK team
the men left it and run for the woods,
and by taking a circuitous route came
into Rapid nearly scared to death. A
party of fifteen well armed men imme-
diately started out, and found, seven or
eight miles out, three white men asleep,
with four horses picketed near them.
They surrounded them, covered them
with their rifles, and awoke them. They
were taken to town, and when examined
confessed that the horses were stolen at
Crook. They were placed in a log
cabin for the night; but about three
o'clock in the morning band of twenty
vigilants took them ont, and when the
people of the town arose there they
were hanging dead, in plain sight of
town. They were buried in the evening.
The following is to be their epitaph
A. J. Allen, Louis Curry, Jas. Hall,
Age 35 years. Age 20 years. Age 10 years.
HORSE THIEVES BEWARE.
Here lies the body of Curry, Allen and Hall,
Like other thieves, they had their rise, decline
and fall
On yon pine tree they hung till dead,
And here they found a lonely bed.
Then be a little cautious how you gobble horses
up,
For every horse you pick up here adds sorrow
to your cup;
We're bound to stop this business, or hang you
to a man,
For we've hemp and hands enough in town to
swing the whole clan.
