A Dogs Obituary.

"Jack," John Brough's dog, died a
few days ago, of old age, general debil-
ity, and severe iogging administered
to him about year ago by one of his
sons. Jack was an intelligent but dis
sipated animal. He formerly belonged
to John Pressly, and then was sober,
industrious and well behaved dog. After
Brough acquired him he got to hanging
about newspaper offices and soon fell
into vicious ways. He frequented the
Circle House lunches, and helped HIM
self to beer from the slop-tub. He was
pcaceable when sober, but quarrelsome
in his tubs, and he was intoxicated at
the time he received the terrible licking
at the teeth of his undutiful son. I'm
like his two-legged comrades Jack never
protracted his sprees beyond day and
night. You couldn't coax him to touch
beer for week after having been drunk.
He absolutely loathed it, and preached
total abstinence to his fellow-dogs. But
Jack made. the mistake of relying too
much on his own strength, and, unsus-
tanned by divine grace, he would go
back to the wallow as soon as the re-
membrance of his headache grew dim.
Two-legged or four-legged, it is the
same old story, in which folly and re-
morse alternate Indianapolis SGtnr-

The Worlds Dirtiest City.

Smyrna has the reputation of being
one Of the most unclean cities in the
world, and its whole arrangements, in
deed, are such as would shock even a
local authority of the most bOnighted
provincial town in Great Britain. An
attempt is now being made to put mat
tiers upon a better footing. During the
past year, amid the pressure of other
business, municipal affairs have been
allowed to stand over altogether. The
result of this happy-go-lucky system has
been that the state of the city has be-
come almost unbearable. The streets
contain huge collections of the bodies of
departed eats, dogs, poultry, and rats in
every stage Of decomposition, besides
refuse of all sorts; and the only step that
is sometimes taken to cleanse them is
the hanging of the carcases of the ami
mails on the window-bars of the houses
in front of which they have been de-
posted. This proceeding has led to
neighborly quarrels and the wider diff
fusion of horrible smells, and is for the
future to be discontinued as far as pos
sible. In the meantime the Governor
General has chosen nine g notables, ="
three of when are European gentlemen,
to constitute the new Municipal Council
for Smyrna. The notables are to begin
the work of cleansing the Augean sta
bles without further delay; and as some
of them are known to be persons of en-
ergy, hopes are entertained that better
DAYS are in store for the city, and that
str.nnuOus efforts will be really made to
improve its sanitary arrangements be-
fore pestiIence is added to the horrors
of the situation.

Drunk on Coffee.

An Italian statuette-seller, going on
his rounds in the Paris streets and car
rying a tray of plaster casts on his head,
stumbled upon well stuffed leather
portfolio lying in the road. As it con-
tanned $4,000 in bank notes, it was a
perfect bonanza to a gamin. What
could he not buy with it? But there
was one thing for which he cared above
all others. 1t was strong coffee. His
first thought was that he could drink a
dozen cups of coffee day, if he chose.
He rushed into a cafe and swallowed,
one after another, six of Gambetta's
favorite g mazagrans" and nine "glO-
rias''-cups of strong coffee with liquor.
The next day he paid second visit to
the restaurant and INDUCED in fresh
debauch; and he returned on the follow
inc dav to order coffee with the same
recklessness. His continued revelry ex-
cited the suspicion of the police, and he
was finally arrested. Ten bank notes
were found in his pockets. A hundred
francs had lasted him several days, and
he was evidently congratulating him.
self on having resources wherewith he
could buy and drink gallons of strong
coffee during the winter.

The Beauty of Cretan Women.

A Cretan village is strengthening
place. All the dwellings are alike in
ugllness, oblong in form, with walls of
rough stone, and fat roofs, destitute OF
parapets and chimneys. One or two
arches are thrown across the length of
the cottages to support the roof, which
consists of tenacious clay few inches
deep, laid on pieces of bark, and rolled
flat-let antiquaries shudder-with the
drums of marble columns. In Askypho
the heavy srow-storms which occur
there make j, unsafe to carry up the
buildings hi her than one story, and
they certain have most miserable ex-
terror.
But the comfort within doors depends
al Askypho, as everywhere else, not on
the architect, but on the lady of the
house, and the wives of Sphakia rank
high among their sex. They are con-
spicuous for their beauty Their dark
eyes are large and lustrous, their fea-
lures are delicately chiseled, and waving
tresses fall in profusion from beneath
their modest kerchiefs. Their carriage
is graceful as the does.
personal charms, their attention is by
no means confined to the toilet. Every
thing which their homes contain is the
work of their own hands. The cloth
of the husbands jacket and fez, of the
wool of the sheep he tends, is dyed, spun
and woven by the hands of his faithful
wife. She it is who makes his garments
from the cotton-plant which grows be-
fore the door; the bright scarf that
binds his waist is from the silkwOrm
which feeds upon his mulberry trees !;
the mats and tapestries whose bright
designs, taken from the pattern book of
tradition alone, give his home cheer
full air, are the work of her industrious
loom, and many more objects that l am
incompetent to enumerate are due to
her untiring labors.

An Artists Fatal Pooling with Pistol.

A French paper gives the following
account of the Boston artist Leland:
Mr.. Leland was at work in his studio,
on the Boulevard Clichy, on a painting
called "Une Ribaude," which he was
to offer to the Salon of 1873. About 8
O'Clock he allowed his model to rest her
self. She was young girl of %, who
changed her position atthe signal given
by the artist. To amuse himself, Mr..
Leland took down from panoply that
adorned his room a pretty American re-
volver, given to him by his parents,
with whiehy he. was fond OF amusing
himself. 'fHold still,'' he said to his
model, 9. l am going to fire at you. !"
ssOh, no ~ cried the terrified girl

the pistol, which he thought unloaded,
into the middle Of his forehead. The
weapon was charged with cartridge and
ball. He fell dead instantly.
