A DOG WITH ABUsTLE.

A Thrilling occurrence is reported from
Evanston. ILL.,, and as it is probably the
first instance on record in which the
bustle OF lovely woman became an i'm
plement of crime, the case is thus i'm
mortalized by the Cleveland Leader.
There was boy in that town named
Daley. The boy had dog, which he was
accustomed to take with him on his daily
excursions to certain suburban pasture
fields to drive home the COWS. On the
9TH instant young Daley found on his
way to the pasture something white and
ruf1ed and mysterious. He did not
know what it was, but it was too beauti-
full to throw away, and the happy thought
struck him that it might be intended as
an ornamental portable awning for dog.
So he called hia deg and tied the gay
device round his body just behind the
foreless. This held the wayy frilIs of
the tournure aloft like canopy. Thus
caparisonsj, the dog pranced along
gaily in front OF his master to where the
COWS were quietly grazing in the field.
Imm mediately there was wild commotion
The COWS knew in general way some-
thing about dogs, but an animal half dog
and half bird. with a towering banner OF
whalebone and wire and muslin floating
in the summer wind, was to them new
and terrifying spectacle. They eyed the
approaching terror moment, then tossed
their heads, turned tail and broke in q
wild stampede for town. The frantic
herd burst from the end Of the lane into
the main road just as grave and serious
ex-minister of the Gospel, whose sands
of life had nearly run, &C.. came driving
along. Him the COWS needed not. The
dog with his phenomenal attachment
waving up and down, was behind, and
they cared for nothing in front. One
jumped across between the horse and
vehicle, two others dashed against the
wheels. capsized the elder into ditch
full Of muddy water, and left the buggy
standing on its beam ends with two
wheels in the air. Then the horse caught
sight of the dog and ran after the COWS,
smashing the vehicle to atoms and dis
tributing it along about two miles of the
public highway. The COWS reinforced
by the flying steed, carried the village
like an invading army, and such was the
terror and surprise OF the people that
they have since done little else but talk
about it. Tha minister crawIed out of
the d,ch and began legal proceedings
against the boy, who came into town by
side street. and slipped up the back
stairs supperless to bed. The dog with
the hustle saw that he had overdone the
thing and crept under barn. The
problem that absorbs Evanston is where
to classify the crime Of that boy under
the statues of Illinois.

The Nevada Transcript records this ac-
cident in hydraulic mining: Monday
morning. shortly after Z o'clock, large
bowlder fell from the top of the bank in
the Blue Banks mine. Tho lookout
gave the warning cry, but before the
men could get out of the way, the bowl
der came crushing to the earth with all
the momentum that descent of over 800
feet could give. 1t struck in the slush
at the head Of the sluice, splattering
stones. gravel, etc., in every direction.
Three men were injured by the flying
debris. James Cunningham left arm
was broken twice between the wrist and
elbow. Jacob jacobson was badly hurt
about the back, but when our informant
left the physician had not determined
the nature Of the injuries. A man by
the name OF Mitchell was considerably
bruised about tho body. but not 80 as to
disable him from walking home, while
the other two were carried away in q
wagon.

The Gazetta d'Itslia recounts very
terrestrial phenomenon. AT Ortali, a
small township containing a few houses
near Quarata in the province of Arezzs,
the earth has gradually fallen until it is
now twelve OF fifteen feet below original
level. In consequence of this strange
freak of nature, which no one explains,
the houses of the village have lost their
equilibrium, and threaten to fall asunder.
The authorities have ordered the inhebi-
tants to remove to huts which have been
Sat up in the fields. and thither they
have fed with their families. What
seems still stranger is, that about 200
yards from Ortai the earth has risen
instead OF fallen off, and the rising of
the ground has been visible at times.

One who was familiar with the every.

One who was familiar with the every
day life of "Artemus Ward" remembers
him as having short, stubby. sandy
moustache, which, when be was not
otherwise occupied, he was frequently
and abstractedly dressing with his pocket
comb. About this time he was connected
with Vanity Fair. and wore on his shirt
bosom tlashy cluster pin which had the
lustre of locomotive head light. He
would occasionally sacrifice even proprie-
ties for joke. Dropping into fashion,
able saloon on Broadway with party of
friends one evening, he coolly took an
overcoat from the arm of one of them
and playfully pledged it at the bar for o
treat to the crowd, prompted purely by a
passionate love of fun. Having perpe.
trated his joke he laughed the most
heartily Of any of the party at the ap-
parent discontinue of the owner of the
coat, who had no recourse but to redeem
IL himself.
A NEW FABLE.-An honest farmer
once led his two turkeys into his gran.
ary and told them to eat. drink, and be
merry. One Of these turkeys was wise,
and one foolish. The foolish bird at
once INDUCED excessively in the pleas
ures of the granary, unsuspicious of the
future; but the wiser fowl. in order
that he might not be fattsned and
slaughtered, tasted continually, mortified
his flesh. and devoted himself to gloomy
reflections upon the brevity of life.
When Thanksgiving approached, the
farmer killed both turkeys, and by plac-
ing stone in the interior OF the prudent
turkey made him weigh more than his
plnmper brother. Moral, be happy
while you may.

The Tuolumne (Cal.) Independent
says: While the workmen were building
the Spring Gulch mill an eagle had his
nest on the cliff below. The nest re.
mains in view yet. 1t was a matter OF
lively interest for the men to watch the
old eagle bringing home prey to the
young. Squirrels, rabbits, kids, lambs,
foxes, and once q small dog, were brought
in. Efforts were made to reach the nest
by means Of q rope attached to q tree
and let down over the cliff, but the place
was chosen with much sagacity, quite
out of reach except by wings. The
eag!ets, however, were captured; one in
moose while the other, forsaking the
nest on un!ried wings, sank to the ground
on the opposite side Of the Rulob, and
was pursued and taken.
