1t Is given out that the nomination of Mr.
Bayard Taylor as U. s. Minister to Germany
is not acceptable to the politicians of Pennsyl-
yania. This is about as favorable thing as
could be said of the appointment. 1t would
perhaps be too much to claim it as the best
nomination Mr.. Hayes has yet made, but it is
entirely safe to say that he has made no better

A Clergyman's Dance for Life.

Burleigh writes to the Boston Jour
nal from New York the following inter
esting story II have had, said well
known clergyman, some very droll ex-
perience. Among the most exciting was
the one l now relate. A well known
merchant was very sick-some thought
nigh unto death. He would see no pas
tor, nor allow no one to speak to him on
the subject of religion. One day he
mentioned my name, though he was no
acquaintance of mine. He named me
two or three times. AT length his wife
asked him if he wanted me to call. He
hesitated some time, and then asked his
family to send for me. He added: Tell
him to come right away | obeyed the
summons, and was ushered into the sick
chamber, and at once recognized the
gentleman as one who had been an oc-
casional hearer in my church. He
greeted me with great cordiality, and
asked that all should leave the room.
He wanted to speak to me privately.
His wife left with evident reluctance.
The man was so weak that he could
with difficulty turn in his bed As soon
as the door was closed the patient
sprung from his bed, turned the key in
the lock, seized me with the strength of
giant, and said: Now we will have a
nice dance, clasping me about the body,
and he, in his night shirt, commenced to
caper about the room, humming in low
voice, i and my father are one, equally
in power and glory He kept his pace
for full hour, till | was nearly dead
from exhaustion and fright. He was a
wild maniac. Once | attempted to
scream. He seized me by the throat.
His eyes flashed fire. He said he would
brain me if | was not quiet. Round
and round he turned, keeping up the re-
frain, 4 and my father are one, equally
in power and glory Pretending to be
pleased, I suggested that we call in
some of the family to join us. He
caught at the idea. He opened the door
to call the household up and I instantly
fled down stairs, pursued by the mad
man. He was arrested, taken to the
mad house, and in twenty-four hours
died raving maniac. Ihave never since
heard those words repeated without be-
ing thrown into cold sweat I had
dance enough that night to last me the
balance of my life"

OVER DRESSING GIRLs-In the dress
ing of girls there has been popular
change for the better 1t has always
been customary among the very highest
classes for girls to dress simply, but we
have a. class of people in the country,
sprung from humble conditions, who
have become possessed of wealth, and
the over-dressed young lady generally
belongs to this class. Usually her
mother is good and has been a hard
working woman, who is not unfrequent-
ly snubbed by her fine lady daughter,
and is obliged to accept her dictatien as
to what is proper and what is not proper
in regard to dress. The daughter is
simply anxious to have everything that
everybody else has and be among the
first to display new fashion, whether it
is suitable for her age or not. This
gives us the assured class of society
which foreigners are SO surprised to find,
girls with the air of leaders and the as
surance of the widow of two husbands.
Slowly and with difficulty it is begin
ming to dawn even upon these ohtuse
minds that are discounting their future
In way that is not wise or profitable,
or perhaps the idea does not enter their
minds at all, and it is simply because it
Is becoming fashionable in their circle
to affect the simple style.

A SHARP IRIsHMAN.-A clever Irish
man has done good stroke of business
in Chicago. He advertisedhis prepared
ness to renovate old and new butter by
secret process but would only handle
large quantities Some dealers, to test
him, sent him lot which, according to
promise, was made the equal of fresh,
creamery butter, and stood the test OF
keeping. They then sent agents all over
the State, purchased heavily and sent the
stuff to him. To their horror, he de
clined to work on it, but, as special
favor, offered to buy it at considerably
less than they had paid for it. Being
of no use to them they let him have it
at loss, and then he converted it to his
own double profit and immense saving
of trouble.

The Noblest Of Dogs.

e Every one is familiar with the appear
ance of the noble Newfoundland dog,
whose splendid qualities, physical and
moral, are famous all over the world
We still enjoy pre-eminence in pro-
ducing the pure breed, and considerable
numbers of them are exported yearly,
the demand for them in other countries
being still very great. Their intelligence,
gentleness, fidelity, and affection have
made them universal favorites; while
their aquatic propensiaes and powers,
which they often display in reseuing
human beings from a watery grave, add
greatly to their value. The true New
foundland dog is entirely black, from 26
to 80 inches in height, of a powerful
frame, majestic in appearance and has
beneyolent expression of countenance.
In this land they seldom exceed 26
inches in height, but in Great Britain
they reach 80, and iii rare cases 80
inches. Last year German friend of
mine, Herr T. A. Verkrusen, a distln-
guished conchologist, brought here, as a
present, three fine young dogs of the
Leenberg breed, now pronounced to be
the finest in the world, superior even to
our own. We have thus the prospect
| of possessing shortly still more mag
nifeent race of dogs than the Newfound-
land. The specimens of this new breed
have IN one year grown to be splendid
animals, and by good judges are pro-
nounced to be the finest ever seen in the
,, country. They are expected to propro-
gate this year, but will not be full
grown till their third year.
! The Leonberg is the result of a skill
full crossing between the St. Bernard,
Newfoundland and the wolf-dog of the
Pyrenees, and appears to combine the
best qualities of the three noble races.
| Baron Essig, of Leonard, Wurtemberg,
Germany, was the breeder of this new
species, which is already world-re-
nowned; and our species were obtained
direct from his establishment, and were
carefully selected. They are the favor

Prince Bismarck and Gairbaldi, the
Grand Duke Frederick of Baden, and
scores of other exalted personages are
possessors of the famous Leonberg A
good specimen, well trained, often sells
for ESQ sterling, and even as high as
el00. They are eagerly sought after
in all parts of the world to which their
fame has penetrated; and they thrive in
all climates At the great dog-shows of
London, Paris, Vienna. Berlin, Baden
and Lima, in Peru, they have carried
off the foremost prizes. In 1873, at
the Paris dog-show, the first prize of
two gold medals were won by Leonberg
dogs. They grow to be 80 or So inches
in height, and are frequently over 100
pounds in weight. with noble heads and
great symmetry of form. They are ex-
ceedmgly gentle, and possess such intel
ligenee that they can be trained to do
almost anything within the compass Of

A Natural Telephone.
Inyo (CaI. } Independent.

On the authority of Colonel Talcott,
who vouches for the truth of the mat
ter, there is certain point on high
ridge up on Kearsarge mountain where
can be heard the rumbling of trains on
the Southern Pacific Railroad as they
cross the range to the west of Mohaye,
l40 miles distant. There is regular
daily ira n passing at l0:30 o'clock, and
upon reaching the place at this hour the
oise of the train is heard as stated. 1t
is curious thing in nature, but scarcely
more wonderful than some Of the noun
tain echoes we read OF, nor more incom-
prehensible than late achievements of
science in telephones, monographs and
megaphones, possibly involving the same
principal of conducting sound through
the air of the solids.

FASHIONABLE GALLANTRY.--I In that
age of gallantry, the reign of Charles H.,
it was customary when gentleman
drank lady's health to throw some part
of his dress into the flames, in order to
do her still greater honor. This was
well enough for lover but the folly
does not seem to stop here, for his com
panions were obliged to follow him in
this proof of his veneration by consum-
ing a similar article, whatever it might
be. Sir Charles Sedley, dining at a
tavern, one of his friends, perceiving
he had very rich lace cravat on, named
the lady to whom honor was to be done,
and then made sacrifice of his own
cravat; Sir Charles and the rest of the
company were all obliged to follow his
example. Sir Charles bore his loss with
great composure, observing it was a
good joke, but that he would have as
good a frolic some other time. On a
subsequent day, dining with the same
party, Sir Charles drank to some
beauty of the day, then bidding the
waiter to call dentist, whom he had
previously placed in the adjoining room,
made him extract carious. tooth which
had long lltgued him. The rules Of
good fellowship clearly required that
every one of the company should lose a
tooth. They demonstrated but in vain;
and each gentleman present successfully
put himself into the hands.of the opera
tor, but protested against the cruel test
to which their friendship and gallantry
had been put.
