THE DOG Show IN New YoRK--The first
annual New York bench show of dogs
opened on Tuesday and was a great success.
Probably 5000 persons attended during the
day and 5000 in the evening. Lovers of
dogs were treated to full exhibition of
their favorites, there being 200 on exhibi-
ton. \ large number Of these were judged
Tuesday, and decorated with a badge
denoting their value. The animals re-
ceived great deal of attention and petting;
they were all good natured, many Of them
greeting visitors by holding up their paws
to be shaken. Attendants patrolled the
garden, exercising the dogs in their care,
and numbers of ladies and gentlemen had
their entries by a chain giving them an
airing. The display of sporting dogs was
extensive and excellent, and the ST. Bar
nards, mastiffs, and Siberian hounds are of
the best stock. The entire collection is
considered by all odds the finest ever
gathered together in the world. Amongst
the prizes awarded on Tuesday was first
prize to the Chesapeake Bay dog Trip,
owned by c. II. Tilghman, of Easton, Nd
Twelve years ago Father Hyacinthe
preached a course of sermons on "La
Reforme de la Famille," from the pulpit of
Notre Dame. He has recently been de-
livering lectures on the same topic at the
Cirque, Paris, but his popularity has shriyeled
into notoriety, and the eloquent orator, who
once held his congregation spell-bound, can
now wscarcelycommanda attention. In opening
his second lecture, on April %, he asserted
that his opinions had undergone no change
during the past decade, save that they had
been enlarged, for he was intrusted with a
social and religious apostolate. When the
lecturer reached this point a young man in
the audience whistled and walked out oil
the house. Another auditor also made a
movement in the same direction, but was
assaulted by pale young man who struck
him with an umbrella, while soldier
belabored him with his fists. "Turn out
the man with the umbrella" was heard
from several parts of the house, and there
was discord everywhere. The remainder oi
the lecture was punctuated with Kisses
sneers, and uproar.-N. Y. Tribune.

Perhaps the Bourbon Democrat can ex-
tract drop or two of comfort from this
paragraph in the Washington Star: "a
Confederate and Tilden Democrat, re-
siding in Mississippi, writing to a friend in
this city, says; have talked with many
Democrats since seeing you, and have not
yet found one who can condemn single
action of the President; but, on the con-
trary, all recognize him as patriot of the
highest order. think his enemies will
come from the extremists and soreheads
in his own party But he may be assured
of the fact that for each enemy that springs
from his own party, ten friends will come
to his relief Gr +. ,.uth.'"

REFUSING TO PRAY FOR THE PRESIDENT
Since the November election the Rev. DR..
j. S. Harrison, rector of the Episcopal
church at Monticello, Fla, has in his servi-
ces omitted the prayer for the President Of
the United States. He takes the ground
that Mr.. Hayes was not elected and must,
therefore, be an usurper. He consequently
does not recognize Mr.. Hayes as the Presi-
dent of the United States in prayer, as
provided in the church service. He has no
objection to praying for Mr.. Hayes as "a
man and sinner" andin suitable language
as the de .tacto ruler of this nation, but he
will not pray in the language of the prayer
book for him as the rightful President OF
the United States.-JacksonvilZe Sur.

THE MINES OF DURANGO.

In the State Of Durango, Mexico, about
5000 feet above the sea, there is a re-
markable tin-bearing district more
than twenty miles in extent, concern
ing which a few particulars have been
made public. BY sinking Of shafts it
has been ascertained that stream tin
and ore abound over the whole dis
trict. The ore is found loose in the
veins IN irregular rounded masses
from the size Of pins head to that of
mans head; and the supply is so
great that metallic tin can be produc-
ed at a cost of 2 cents a pound" There
are 600 veins already known, and more
than 300 drifts Of stream tin. A visi-
tor to the spot is of opinion that the
tin ore is still forming. A portion of
the vein was left standing in 1864.
On examing the place in a subsequent
visit in 1870, he found that the new
films or layers of cassiterite had been
deposited, and in some places noted
that peculiar variety known as toad's-
eye tin, which he believed had formed
during his absence"

| It reads like the iail-breaking romances OF
Claude Duval, and it comes .vouched for by
the City Marshal Of Osceola, Ark.
Eight years ago the family Of Baker held
the reins Of political power in the Texas
county of Caldwell. 1t was In the day when
the, omniivorous carpet-bagger sat on the
cushioned seat Of the official chair-when the
African ruled and the Interior rail asserted
David p, of the. family Of Baker, held
| the shrievalty, his sire represented the county
In the State Senate, his brother wore the

Bakers received lesser 1Oaves of official pat
ronage. David 2. one day took down his shot
gun, and backed by a dusky mob, went forth
and slew in cold blood one Augustus Ellison,
Of a like race, but of different political tenets
from himself. The influence Of the Bakers
overawed the sworn grand juror, and the
murderer went scatheless.
In 1874 one Of those changes which the vic
tors term tidal waves and the beaten term
fraudulent defeats, passed over the politii;;
cal sky Of Caldwell county; The superior rail
down and out, and David P.'s enemies seized
upon the murderer. He was taken to neigh
boring county and lodged in Jail. While in
generated, jail was building In Lockhart,
the county site Of Caldwell county. The
contract for this work was in the hands Of
Bakers friends Anticipating his removal to
this building when completed, these friends
had sham stone placed in the great walls as
they were going up.
The Jail was finally finished Baker was
lodged in one Of its cells. A saw was slipped
to him; the bars gave way beneath it's biting
teeth; the false stone in the wall was pushed
out; and Baker, slipping through, mounted a
horse awaiting him, pocketed $500 given him
by a friend, and galloped away.
A few months ago Marshal w. B. Haskin
of Osceola, Ark, heard of Bakers residence
in the vicinity Of Osceola, under the assumed
name Of T. D. Wilson. Baker got wind of the
marshals intention to arrest him, and fed
Two weeks ago Haskin, having again got on
took him to Lockhart, and reached this city
on his return yesterday.

R,oeathtrst,ness Of the Crab.

By observations made atYthe New York
Aquarium, it has been discovered that the
hermit crab possesses more intelligence than
it has generally been given credit for. The
following incident not only illustrates this,
but shows that the crab is an animal of prey
One day good-sized Lafayette fish was seen
with one of these small crabs clinging to its
gills. The fish gasped, struggled violently
and shook itself as il to rid itself of its tena-
cious senemy. The crab would not let go.
The fish grew gradually weaker until its
struggles ceased, and it sank to the bottom
of the tank. The crab then began to feed
upon its victim. Upon examination it was
found that the crab had actually pinned the
from breathing.
