A gentleman who came down from

times were in that section. He said /:
about all 1 have heard of lately is
a joke on an editor, who, going away,

The Burial of a Dog.
From the Boston Traveller.

A few days ago a black and-tan-dog
belonging to lady South End resident
died, and its mistress was inconsolable.
The next day the team of one of our
most noted undertakers drove up to the
door, and subsequently, an employee
quickly carried casket into the house,
and soon thereafter the neighbors
found a black-and-tan dog exhibited,
neatly laid out in fine rosewood casket.
Upon this was laid great profussion of
flowers, surrounding plate which bore
the following: LEO Gilman, aged Is
years months 1 day" The next move
of the lady was to obtain burial for
her pet in Mount Auburn Cemetery;
but the officers of the corporation would
not allow burial. The mourner would
not be thwarted, and physician was
induced to make out burial certificate
that Leo Gilman died ofspinal meningi-
tis." This document was taken to the
officials of the Cambridge Cemetery, and
the dog was buried.

GRATITUDE.
How Bob Stewart Remembered
an Old Friend.
st. Louis Times

1
Probably the Oldest genius who
ever occupied public position in
Missouri was the late Robert NJ.
Stewart. He lived in st. Joseph,
where he rose in political power.
The first President of the Hannibal
and st, Joseph railroad, he was call
ed its father. lie was elected Gov
ernor in 1857. When Doniphan's s
expedition was organized to go
through New Mexico and cooperate
with the main United States army
in 1847, Bob Stewart was member
of a company raised in Buchanan
county. Four day out his gun was
accidentally discharged, the contents
entering one of his legs. shattering
a bone and disabling him. One of
the company, VIM. Grover, was
detailed to remain with Stewart.
Grover watched over his friend with
the care of brother, and Stewart,
not then dreaming of his future dis.
tinction, said: '.Bill, old fellow,
I'll pay you back some day. The
time will come.''
Ten years later Bill Grover, the
friend of Stewart, was arrested as
participant in a political crime. tried
convicted, and sentenced to the pen
itentiary for ten years. Not long
after his conviction Stewart was
nominated for Governor. He
saw his friend just before he was
incarcerated, and said, "Bill, the
first thing l do after I'm inaugural
ed will be to pardon you out; and
Tn sure to be elected"
Bob was elected and inaugurated
True to his word and the native in
stincts of gratitude, he went to the
penitentiary and inquired for Bill
Grover. He was not there. He
was one of a detail called out to dig
a we'll in Jefferson City, and was
then engaged in that work.
Off the Governor posted to the
we'll in which Grover was at work.
On reaching the place, he leaned
over the we'll and cried out:
BILL, you are here?'
who's that {" asked voice from
the subterranean deeps below.
"It'me-Bob Stewart! Come up
out O. there, d-n you! I've par
doned YOU"
In a few minutes Grover was
hauled up out Of the well. Then
was exhibited the curious spectacle
of the Governor of a great State
through the streets of the
Capital arm-in arm with a striped
suit convict. He took his old friend
up to clothing store, rugged him
out in a new suit, and made him a
guest at the Governors mansion,
afterward providing for him start
in business.

An Anecdote of Bret Harte.

Bret Harte was lecturing in Penn

Of his appointments he felt very

One Of the committee went back oil
the scenes to see him, and. the
depressed humorist welcomed him
as scene Of unusual good sunshine
They shook hands-Harte earnestly,
the committee man decorously.
"Mr. Harte,' he said, gravely,
"you will fnd this an unusually
healthy city,
"Ah," said the humorist.
"Yes; the death rate is only one
a day"
At this juncture Harte took the
committee man by the arm and hur-
riedly asked:
us he dead?''
Dead !" calculated the commit
tee man: "Who's dead?'
"Why the man for to-day" was
the grave reply.
The committee man started with
all his might into the immovable
face of the lutecrer.
isn't there clerk. or register.
or coroner, or something like that,
Of whom you could find out whether
man for this day has died?"
"Why, yes, [ suppose So" slowly
replied the committee man.
would you be so good, then. as
to find out, and before / commence
the lecture if possible, whether the
the man is dead? IF he is dead
then am all right. for am to leave
the city early tomorrow morning;
but If he is not dead. I can not but
feel uneasy about myself, as I am
not we'll tonight.
The kind hearted committee man
hurried away to get the information.
When in his room at the hotel
that night servant told him that a
gentleman wished to see him. He
went down stairs and there met the
committee man.
Il am sorry, Mr.. Harte, to disturb
you." he said, .sbut could not get
the information any earlier. Il is
all right. That death rate I spoke
os was only an average"

It seems the love for Office has with

FROM 4 USTZN
AUSTIN, TEXAS. Sept. 27, 1877.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The Texas State Fair will oper
the 10th October, and 1 learn from
the Superintendent. that it will bt
more numerously attended than any
previous fair in the State. Twelve
months ago. large numbers of fine
cattle. horses and hogs, were brought
here for exhibition, and then were
mostly sold to the highest bidder
when the fair closed.
The grain crop Of this part OF the
State is the largest ever raised in
this section; corn is selling in our
city at so cents per bushel, and oats
at 221.
We are expecting a large immi-
grafton into this portion Of Texas
this fall, as many letters are receiv-
ed by citizens here, from the older
States, making enquiry as to the
best routes to certain localities.
Notwithstanding the great depress-
ion in the money market. Austin, the
capital Of the State, is steadily i'm.
proving. Our last Constitutional
Convention made this the perma-
nent capital. and set apart 3 100000
acres for erecting the necessary
buildings; and Congress made an
appropriation Of 100000 for the
purpose of building Court House
and Postofice. The latter is to be
commenced Immediately.
Quite q number of East Tennes-
scans are often seen on our streets.
A short time since, I met on the
street, Pryor Harris, Tom Shugart,
and Chamberlain, all formerly OF
Knox county, Tenn, and all doing
well.
Mr.. V. E. Vaughan. formerly con-
nected in business, for a short time,
with Tom OConner, at Knoxville, is |
here largely engaged in the manu-
racture Of harness, saddles, collars,
&c. Vaughan and O'Conner both
oined the Confederate army, and {
got thoroughly acquainted with the
'un and pleasure incident to war,
Ind both at the close of the war set
lown to hard work, and by careful
to business aad Industrious
labits, they have both done much
n the employment of hands, to aid
n building up trade profitable to
Iach and beneficial to the country
Vaughan gives constant employment
0 Is hands, and has orders for work
rom Kansas, Colorado and occasion
lily from Tennessee. These hands
re excellent workers, and whenever
'ressed with orders, they will work
trough the night, rather than let
york go to other houses. Employer
nd employees, in an establishment
# this kind, looking to the interest
4 each other must always be sue
essful.
The population Of Austin is put
lown at $4,000 souls. and immi-
rants are coming in as fast as we
ave any right to expect.
Very little interest is taken in pol
tics. Democracy carried the last

The fact that in every instance
the Indians of the different tribes.
now in Washington, have asked for
Catholic Priests as missionaries and
teachers, is severe reflection on the
Protestants with whom they have
come in contact. Perhaps it may
be a repetition of the old history Of
the Quakers and the Indians. There
must have been Protestant preachers
at the agencies, and it Il significant
that none have been called.

The Tale of a Candidate.


John Cain was a quiet. unobtru
sive citizen. He didn't long for
fame and renown, and he didn' care
FIVE cents whether this great and
glorious country was ruled by a one
horse Republican or a two-horse
Democrat.
He had pew in church, gave
sixteen ounces for a pound, and
when a man looked him square in
the eyes Mr.. Cain never took q
back seat. He was at home at 8
reasonable hour in the evening new
er took part in the discussion, ''Is
lager healthy?'' and many a man
wished that his life rolled on as
evenly and peacefully as John
Gains.
But alas the tempter came. In
an evil hour John Cain allowed the
politicians to get after him and to
surround him. They said he was
the strongest man in the country;
that he could scoop out of his boots
any man set up in opposition; that
his virtues were many and his falts
100000; that it was his duty to
come out and take o nomination
in order that this pure and incor-
ruptible form of government be
maintained pure and incorruptibIe.
All this and much more they told
him, and John Cain became puffed
up.
1t surprised him some to think
that he had held his peaceful way
along for forty odd years, like q
knot-hole in a barn door, without
any one having discovered what a
heap of fellow he was. but he con-
cluded that there was new era in
politics and that it was all right.
The politicians covered John
Cain with soft soap. They told him
that the canvass shouldn't cost him
a red, and that he could still retire
at eight every evening and rest as
sured that his Interests would be
properly cared for 1t was to be a
still hunt in a very quiet election,
and he would hardly know what was
going on. John was an honest, un-
suspecting idiot. and he swallowed
their words as the confiding fish
absorbs the baited hook.
John Cain was duly nominated
and the band came out and serenadsd
him. With the band came out sever
al hundred electors, who filed the |
Cain mansion to overflowing, spit |
tobacco all over the house, ate and
drank all they could find, broke down
the gate and went off with three
cheers for John Cain.
Before the canvass was ten days
