A rAMILY living in tho suburbs Of hi.

A FAMILY living in tho suburbs of this
city own gaunt, hungry looking mon
grol canine, who sometimes amuses him
self by jumping up and tearing tho cloth
es rs they hang on tho clothes-line. Sew
eral times the lady of tho house has un-
dertaken to chastiso him for the otlense,
but he can outrun her and escaped bis
just deserts. This time tho lady thought
she would fix him, so sho took in her
washing, united one end OF the clothes
line, which is about sixty feet long, and
tied it about the neck OF the dog, led him
to the center Of tho yard and began to
apply a cowhide to his exterior. The dog
began to take considerable interest in the
affair, and ran around the lady twice and
then set off to the other side OF tho lot,
and as the rope had been twice wrapped
around the lady's neither extremities, with
one end hitched to post ten feet from
the ground, and the other around tho neck
Of the dog, it formed the hypothenuse OF
a right -angled triangle, with the feet OF
the lady resting about midway between
the extromities OF the perpendicular and
base. Whenever she would make an at
tempt to assume a perpendicular attitude,
the dog would regard the attempt as u
hostile movement toward himself, and
would attend strictly to the business of
keeping the line taut, bowling in wild
dsmay all the time. The screams Of the
lady brought neighbors to the scene and
she was released. The masculine mem
bers of the family attend to all tho dog
whipping now .-Sd1lta Rosa Democrat.

CHEERFUL WOMEN. In marrying
men should seek happy women. They
make great mistake when they marry
for beauty, or for talent, or for style the
sweetest wives are those who possess the
magic secret Of being happy under any
and all circumstances. Rich or poov.
high or low, it makes no Gilference-the
bright little fountain bubbles up, Just as
musically in their hearts. Nothing ever
goes wrong with them-no trouble is too
! serious for them to make the best of it. !"
Was ever the stream Of calamity so dark
and deep that the sunlight OF a happy
face falling across its turbid tides would
not wake an answering gleam? Why,
then, joyous tempered people don't know
half the good they do. No matter how
cross and Grabbed you feel, no matter it
your brain is full of meditation on "atllict.
ing dispensations, ana your stomach
with medicines, pills and tones just set
one of these CHEEKY little women talking
to you, and we are not afraid to wager
anything she can cure you. The long
drawn line about the mouth will relax
the cloud of settled gloom will vanish,
nobody knows whore, and the first thing
you know, you will be laughing. All,
what blessings are these happy women !
How often their little hands guide the
ponderous machine of life, with almost
an invisible touch How we look for
ward through the weary day to their fire.
side smiles No one knows, no one ever
will know until the day of judgment re-
veals how much we owe to these helpful,
hopeful, accomplishing, happy women

Murdered his Mistress and Himself.
st. Louis, Aug. 17.-A terrible trag-
edy was enacted at the Girard House
shortly after one O'Clock this afternoon.
Joseph P. Colcord, at one time a very
promising lawyer and prosecuting at
torney of one of our courts and subse-
quently a member of Legislature,
shot a woman, said to be his mistress,
named Lettie Smith, with whom he
was living at the Girard House. He
then shot himself. The woman receiv-
ed three wounds, one directly through
the body near the stomach, one in the
head and a third in the shoulder. Col.
cord was hit in the right temple. Both
died almost instantly. Jealousy and
whisky are thought to be the cause.
Colcord was very dissipated man fol
many years, and, it is stated, forced hit
wife to leave him, after which lie took
up with this woman.

addressed by the Porte to the Powers,
in reference to the demands Of Greece,
declares that Turkey never accepted
the principle of the rectifcation of the
Greek frontier. 1t says that no really
national insurrection has broken out in
Thessaly and Epirus. Armed bands
have passed the frontier, but have not
been able to draw the population into
the insurrectionary movement. Greece
lays stress upon the moderation she dis
played during the war, but she negoti-
ated with Russia several times on the
mooted question of the position Of Rou-
melia. She asked for naval assistance
from Russia, and not obtaining it, she
renounced the idea of going to war
through dread of Turkey.

Coolies to displace the striking shoe
makers. 1t says: SIN the first place,
it would be a gross outrage, at any

ing men to bring cheap Chinese labor
in competition with them, and 1t would
be especially so under present circum-
stances, when those workingmen who
have employment are obliged, by the
hard times, to labor for mere living
wages, and when so many of our work.
ing classes are unable to obtain en-
ployment at any price. ''Live and let
live" should be the general principle
that should actuate all the employers Of
labor towards their employees. Besides,
1t Is very evident that the introduc tion
OF the "heathen Chinee'' element into
this country, as exemplified in Califor-
MIA, would be as impolitic as it would
be mischievous. We trust that Chicago
viii steer clear Of it. 1t would be a
source Of irritation and trouble. Evil,
and nothing but evil, would come of it.

Along the Chesapeake.
Washington, Aug. 17.-There is no
longer any concealment of the appre-
hension felt here both by officials and
private persons at the rapid advance of
the yellow fever. Effect has been given
to these apprehensions in Norfolk, Va,
by the determination of the health au-
thorities there last evening to establish
the most rigid quarantine against all
infected districts. The officers of rail-
roads connecting with that city have
accordingly been notified that neither
baggage nor passengers from Memphis,
or any infected locality, will be permit
ted to enter Norfolk or Portsmouth.
The stringency of the har5or quaran-
tine has also been greatly increased and
steps are now being taken to clean the
city.

In Baltimore, while no change has
been made with respect to quarantine,
the city is being thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected, and the most careful
precautionary measures are being taken
to prevent the appearance of the plague.
The weather for number of weeks has
been particularly favorable for its ap-
proach, owing to the almost iecessant
rain fall and muggy atmosphere. The
fact that a schooner's crew coming
from Cuba lies dead and dying at the
breakwater near Cape May, increases
the alarm.
An Asylum In Kentucky.
Louisville, Aug. 1.-THE statement
that there is yellow fever here is utterly
uncalled for, as none exists, and no
fear expressed of the plague, though
five hundred refugees are here from
Southern cities. There will be no quar-
antine, but those who escape will be
welcome here. The cars are crowded
daily and every train is a long one.
Granada Depopulated.
Granada, Aug. 1.-THE death list
for the past twenty-four hours decreased

hours. Only 9 new cases, simply for

followed, demolishing the magazine
and scattering the debris in an east

less injuring several others. Many
