IL Wasn't Mad.

Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
a medium sized dog evidently scared
and somewhat over heated, by hunting
his lost master, unceremoniously enter.
ed James & Webb's book store, 224
Market street. There were several
parties in the store at the time,
amongst whom was minister of the
pei ard tall gentleman member
Of the church over which the minister
oHiciated.
The dog having = forlorn look, as if
his relations were dead, and SOLDERING
somewhat at the mouth, created not
only an astonishment amongst those in
the store, but stampede was the re-
suit, The tall gentleman with won
derful agility mounted the counter,
and seized step ladder, such as
paper hangers sometimes use, as a
weapon of defence, and with its
aid he would no doubt have climbed
higher had not the twelve foot high
ceiling presented an insuperabe bar
rier. The minister casting his eye up
ward to where his companion had
perched himself no doubt thought how
true it was that "the wicked fee when
no man pursueth," and then casting
his eye downwards it met that of the
frothing canine below. TO flee he
thought would be but to invite attack
on that part of the human make up
that dogs usually 'go for" when
they are in earnest and SO he
determined to try upon him the
powers of moral sussion, though he
was never a pronounced friend of the
moral suasion movement. A little
coaxing brought the dog to bay, and
the lady attendant in the store conclu
ded. before she tried to lay herself up
on one of the book shelves Ia the room,
that she would tarry moment at
safe distance until she saw the success
of the Moral Suasien movement. The
minister succeeded most admirably in
making the dog "only believe" that
the man on the counter with the step
ladder meant him no harm, that the
perturbed feeling Of his canineship,
gradually relaxed, and the look of his
eye showed that he meant no harm.
About this time trio of policemen
arrived and unceremoniously removed
that dog which was not mad, when
peace and quietness once more reigned
in James & Webb's store.

Cruelty 10 Children.


At the last session u the Pennsylva-
Iia Legislature the acts relating to the
Society to Protect Children from Cruel
ty were amended in several important
particulars. The amended bill is now
law, having been signed. Abandon
mrnt or neglect is now an Oifense, in
addition to ill-treatment or cruelty.
The section prohibiting the employ
ment of children at dangerous or i'm
moral occupations, such as rope walk
ing or acrobatlcs, gymnastics or street
singing, instrument playing or begging,
is amended so as to prevent parents
from employing such children them
selves or selling, giving away or APP
prenticing them for such purposes.
This is to meet the case of Italian
children particularly. Nor can child
ren under fifteen years be employed to
sing, dance act or in any. way exhibit
in any dance house, concert saloon,
theatre or place of Entertainment where
spirituous or malt liquor is sold Or Civ.
en away on the premises or in a contig-
nous building. The penalty is fifty dol.
lars.
Children taken from parents or guar
dians by order of the magistrates or
courts may be committed to the care of
the society, which can then apply to
the Orphans Court for the appoint
ment Of guardian. Where the fine
imposed is ten dollars the accused pays
or goes to prison for not over ninety
days, and when it exceeds that sum he
or she has the right of appeal by enter
ing bail. Where guardians or other
cale-takers cannot be found for the
children the Magistrate or Court can
commit them to the care of the Guar
dians Of the Poor.

Was Not Appointed.

. Our friend John Parker, we are sor-
ry to say was not SO successful as to
receive the caucus nomination of the
Democrats of the City Council last
night for Clerk Of the Market. Had our
recommendation been of any aid to Mr..
Parker III securing the nomination, it
would have been cLeerfully given, for
there can be no doubt he would have
made good clerk. He, however, has
the satisfaction of knowing that he is
not alone in his disappointment, and
the pleasure Of shaving the long faces
of the disappointed ones will be some
offset to his own disappointment. We
hope that all the disappointed candi-
dates will 60 to Mr.. Parker's tonsorial
saloon, 21l King street, and get first
class shave and shampoo.

Personal.

DR.. B. 7. Smith, who for the past
week has been quite unwell, is now
convalescent. The DR.. suffered the
loss of qnite quantity of blood from
hemorhages, caused by over exertion,
and during the first part Of last week
was dangerously i'll. But under the
professional care of DR.. Maull is slowly
recovering though still quite weak.
This is about as severe an attack as the
Dr.. has had, and his recovery is a
special blessing coming through the
skill Of his physician and careful nurs-
ing. We hope the present indications of
his returning health are the for"shadow-
ing of long life OF renewed vigor and
prosperity.

An EngIishunan' Amusement.


Robert D. Worthington, a young man,
said to be very wealthy and highly con-
nected, who recently arrived in this
city from London, while on spree last
evening with a friend, amused himself
by kicking over several ash-barrels in
front of the army building, corner of
Houston and Greene streets, strewing
their contents over the pavement. He
was arrested by patrolman Daab, of the
eighth precinct, and taken to the Prince
street police station, where he was lock-
ed up for the night. He was very in
dgnant at his arrest, said he was a
gentleman and should not be subjected
to the indignity of being locked up in
cell. His remonstrances were of no
avail, however, and lie was locked up
and will be taken to court to-day.

Cutting A Cancer From Her Ar"
with Her own Hand.
A BRAVE GIRL.


with Her own Hand.
The Olean "Times" says: Living in
q plain cottage situated between tw"
farms on the main settlement near
Portyille. about seven miles from Olean,
is a young woman named Mary Lang
dom. Her mother has been an almost
helpless invalid for many years. She
herself has long suffered with terrible
cancer on the upper part OF her arm.
To cure this or to alleviate the torment
of mind and body which it has caused
has been her constant thought, her
over present care The aid of compe'
tent physicians had been called in, and
every kind of treatment resorted to-,
with no hopeful result.
Expert medical men pronounced tho
case a hopless one, and the poor plrl
was regarded by all and herself as toe
doomed victim of the dreadful disease.
A lady doctor of reputed skill in the
treatment of cancers recently visited
the suffered, but gave no word OF rn-
couragemeut. After she had gone Mary
shed no tears but resolved upon drs-
perate and dangerous expedient, and
when she had resolved, speedily carried
her design into execution. She ran a
stout needle beneath the cancer, draw
ing a thread through it. With this
thread she tied the artery, using her
teeth to aid her. She then took sharp
table-knife and Gu; the cancer, which
was of unusual size, out of her arm.
This done, she took the mass OF
auivering flesh which she had removed
from her arm, and, without word to
anyone, buried it in the rear of the cot
tage. So quietly had the girl gone
through with the terrible operation
that no one in the house was aware of it
until sometime after. Having bound
up and covered the terrible wound in
her arm she went about her household
work as usual, Ofcourse the result OF
this fearful piece of surgery is difficult
to predict, The girl is not at present
suffering any i'll effects, and it is stu
cerely to be hoped that so much c"nr-
age and endurance will be rewarded
by complete cure.

BALKY HoRsEs.-A society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rec
ommends the following rules for the.
treatment of bllky horses
/. Pat the horse upon the neck, exam /.
inc his harness carefully. first one side
and then on the other, speaking encour-
agingly while doing so then jump into
the wagon and give the word &c gener-
ally he will obey.
2. A tcamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horse by making
him go round in circle. II the first
dance of the kind doesn't cure him, the
second one will be sure to do it.
8. To cure baiky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
off the wind till he wants to go, and then
let him go.
4. The brains Of horses seem to enter
tain but one idea at a time thus con,nu-
ed whipping only con firms his stubborn
resolve; if you can by any means give
him a new subject 10 think %, you will
have no trouble in starting him. A sins
pie remedy is to take couple of turns Of
stout twine around the fore-leg, just be-
low the knee, and tie it in knot. At
the first check he will go dancing off, and
after going short distance you can get
out and remove the string TO prevent tn
jury to the tenden in your further drive.
