STORY OF A DOG NAKED BULGER,

Lexington, Ky., July aO-Several
years ago gentleman living III
Fayctte county, KY, owned a yellow
dog, to which he became greatly at
tached. The gentleman sickened and
died, and was buried in the cemetery
here. Tho dog followed the remains
Of his master to the grave, remained
at thelgrave for several days, and then
returned to the city, where be has
stayed ever since. "Bulger," for that
is the dogs name, makes daily visits
to his former masters grave, stays o
few hours and then returns. He
follows all funeral professions passing
through the city. The other day,
while lying in front Of a store, he saw
a funeral cortege going by. Instantly
springing up, he ran out into the street
to the side Of the hearse, gave three
dismal howls, and took his place in the
procession. Numerous efforts have
been made to entice Bulger to bis
former home in the country, but
without avail. Every body knows
him, nc is never allowed to suffer for
the want Of food or a place to sleep,
md when he dies lie will bc Dc.
GENTLY buried.-Cincinnai Star.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION,

The n. Y. Sun, always sensible re.
ganling educational topics, says:
"Thc sooner the youth of this coun.
try are compelled by the scope and
tendency Of our public school system
to recognize that only one boy in a
hundred can be lawyer, doctor or
clergyman, the better it will be for
the American people. To that end
it is essential that our methods Of
training shall cease to foster the silly
and abortivc preference for so-callcd
gentlemanly pursuits-sI'all squarely
face the fact that manual labor is tho
sphere in which the greatest majority
of the human race are destined to
move, and that it is mechanical skill
and genius which have Transformed
the world, and which should command
tho highest price in the race of life"

Petersburg, without anybody daring
to assist him.
To what ali extent this curious ty.
ranny Is Carried, may be judged from
a single instance. An English gem
tleman residing at Peterhof, q coast:
town about sixteen miles from Pc
tershurg, one morning found lIis
Russian groom hanging by tho neck
IN tho stable, and cut linn down, al.
once, just in time to save his life.
The next day he received visit from
the local inspector of police, who,
far from commencing his prompt hu:
manity, veIemently abused him for
daring to transgress the law.
The Englisllman heard him to tho
end without a word, and then sald,
quietly:
"Well, Mr.. Inspector, I'm cxtremes
~ sorry to have done anything, but I
will make all tile amends in my now!
or. If | find you hanging anywhere,
pledge you my honor l won't cut
you down."

A POPULAR DELUs1oN,

A great many persons have an idea
that it is unlawful to touch or attemp,
to aid Il man found dead or dying, and
that the first duty is to notify some
official. Lives have been sacrificed
under this delusion. The first duty
is to render every possible aid, and
then promptly to make tho facts
known to the authorities. Tho con-
trary idea has been obtained from the
laws of other nations, which arc az
absurd as they arc inhuman. Refer.
ring to the law of Russia in this mat
ter, an eastern exchange says:
Among the most extraordinary of
the tyrannical regulations of the Rus
sian police is one whid, strictly for
Dds any one to touch a dead or dying
man without the direct sanction of
the police. In consequence of this
arbitrary enactment. it is no uncom-
mon thing to see man lying bleed

MARTYRS TO GENrILL1TY.

A middle-aged woman, one of til,
last members of an influential family
died lately, in largo city in the Mid
dIe States. She had occupied for year.
two handsome apartments in = hous,
situated in fashionable quarter.
There she livedin an almost absolute
solitude, freak which was accounted
for by cccentricity. In fact, the pool
woman was dead for days before she
was discovered. Then it was found
that her rooms were absolutely bare,
and that she had died literally Of
starvation.
She had felt it disgrace for one of
her family to either work or beg.
Every penny she possessed had gone
to pay the rent of her handsome rooms.
And she had retained the costly lace
curtains at tho windows, which hid her
poverty new when she was diving of
hunger.
1t is seldom that false pride arrives
ut such extent of maniacal folly as was
exhibited by this woman, but it does
cmbitter and impoverish the livos of
many American women, who will bear
every extreme of want rather than
acknowledge their poverty, and
openly 20 to work.
Instances are not rare Of the women
in ruined families retaining their
splendid dwellings, the sale of which,
would have enabled them to live in
comfort, and cking out q miserable
support by slopwork, which they stole
out in disguise through the back gate,
and in the darkness of evening, to find.
In the higher classes of the cities,
honest labor is no disgrace, but
honorable, to a woman; but, in the
secluded villages of the South and
some parts of the West, itstill involves
loss of caste.
BY tho laws Of caste, lady is
woman who does nothing. Hence, |
in submission to this silly, vulgar
educated, intelligent, able
bodied young girls, who might earn
a good income in n dozen ways, and
make their own and other lives full
and beautiful, starve in body and
mind Oh q wretchcd pittance, or hang
helpless, dead weights on an old woru-

whom they cripple and handicap at

4 SAD DEATH.
An Infant Child OF Mr. James TnIbo,
Accidentally PoIsoned.

A sudden death occurred in the
household of Mr.. James Talbot on
O'Neil street, early on yesterday morn
ing, under very sad circumstances.
For several days five out of six of the
children were suffering from scarlet
fever, and Mrs. Talbot was naturally
worn out with fatigue. On Monday
night the servant girl insisted upon
Mrs. Talbot retiring for some rest. Mrs.
Talbot finally consented, and instruct
ed the girl to administer the proper
medicine to the infant boy, aged nine
months, at IL and at 2 O'Clock. The
bottle was pointed out, and Mrs. Tai
bot went to sleep.
Shortly after two o'clock Mrs. Talbot
awakened, and at once noticed that
the infant was rapidly growing worse.
She sent for the family physician, DIR.
Corey, who Immediately asked IL the
proper medicine had been given the
child. The servant girl pointed out
the bottle, from which she had admin
istered the two doses, and the doctor
saw that she had made a mistake, using
a bottle containing a preparation for
earache. The mystery of the child's
growing worse was therefore explained.
But the blood was at that time thor
oughly poisoned, and the infant beyond
all aid. 1t fingered along until A.
O'Clock, when it died.
Very naturally, the parents are al
most h~eartbroken with grief. The poor
girl, too, is almost distracted on ac-
count of the lameLtable result Of her
carelessness. The infant was the only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Talbot, and was
remarkably well developed and of good
promise.
