Dogs in Boots.

Puss in Boots is mythical person
age, but the dog in boots is no imaginary
creature. In the regions of eternal snow
and ice, where the only beast of burden
is the dog, the cold is sometimes so intense
that sharp icicles form between the claws
of the canine sledge travellers. This
causes a most serious obstacle to the
speedy progression of the dogs, and would,
after few days, render them utterly un-
fit for their laboTious duties, AS the icicles
grow larger and larger as they go on,
until the poor creatures are quite unable
to stand. The older dogs, however, will
every now and then stOp and bite off the
icicles from their feet. Not so with the
novice. He tTudges wearily along;
every step he takes adds to his torture,
and after a time every imprint of Dis
foet on the snow bears a red stain from
his cut and bleeding paws At such
times the dog boot is called into requisi-
tion by the driver, principally for
policy. but occasionally, let us hope, out
Of humanity. The dog boot Is generally
made of raw hide, and is simply shaped
like a small bag or pocket This is
drawn over the foot of the animal and
made secure by tying it around the ankle
with leather string. Thus protected,
if the surface of the snow is pretty level,
these wonderful Esquimaux dogs will
uavsl at the rate of forty miles day for
many days in succession.-E Journal of
hemistry.

answered Cousin Charley, with his face

There was another moment of silence.
Then Kate drew near, and stole a little
hand into his.
You won't be angry with me, Cousin
Charley, will you ;" whispered the soft,
low voice.
"Angry with youl" cried Cousin
Charley, turning quickly. Then he saw

The best of us can do no more, and we
shall only become ridiculous or unhappy

cause we are at loss in things to which
we have no pretensions, and try to rem

never did acknowledge himself beaten, is
the last to know on which side the Josephine
carries her wheel, having bad ample op
portuuity to contemplate both bow and
stern, on her las, trip up. Capt, Lannon'S
first excuse was that the Clinton was
aground when the Josephine passed. This
wouldn't work, so the next excuse was that
he had no steam. The boilers were SC
hot that all the furnace doors were open
so this wouldn't do, and it is expected that
by the time the Clinton returns Capt
Lamont will have discovered that the Jose
phine was too fast, which is probably
what was the matter with the Clinton. L
is said that Capt. Lamont has been anx
ious for some time TO tackle the Josephine
when he could get her just where b,

Porepaugh's Great Show

Is to make its appearance in this city on
Thursday, July 18th. We copy the fol-
lowing from the San Francisco Chronicle.
The procession of Forepaugh's Circus
and Menagerie in our city yesterday was
the grandest street pageant ever made in
this CITY. The gilded chariots, shining like
gold; the gaily caparisoned horses; the
helmented cavalcade of horsemen, glitter
ing in spangles; the banners; ali made the
most gorgeous procession one could well
expect TO see-dazzling to the eye and be-
wiidering to the senses. The procession
was Witnessed by the largest crowd of peo-
pie that has ever been called out on like
OCCASION in San Francisco. The tents,
mammoth in proportions, were crowded
both afternoon and evening--several spec
ial trains bringing people from neighboriDg
towns. The Nlenagerie comprises the
largest aud best collection of animals that
has ever been exhibited on the Pacific
Coast, aud the Circus performance was
certainly never surpassed, if equalled, il
