Saturday morning, when the restaurant
was opened for the day, the dog suddenly
darted up the stairway on to the street.
A boy was dispatched to bring him back.
The dog, closely followed by the boy,
started down Jefferson avenue, and when
he reached the corner of First street
he turned toward the river Several
times the boy had almost secured the
dog, but each time the canine managed
to escape capture, and continued his
flight down the street. On reaching the
dock at the foot of First street the brute
seemed to hesitate moment, and then,
with mournful yelp, plunged into the
river. He swan for some distance up the
stream, and finally, struggling for few
minutes, sank to the bottom. The strange
act of the dog was witnessed by a num-
Der of spectators. The animal had never,
previous to Saturday, been disposed to
wander away from home. 1t was clearly
a case of canine suicide.

Two Sunday-night Lectures,

Col. R. G. Ingersoll, who was announced
to lecture at Pixies Opera-house Sunday
night on Human Rights" under the aus
pices of the Liberal League, had full
house and very enthusiastic one. His
lecture was an argument in favor of the
principles of the Liberal League. He
quoted the laws of the various States pro-
hibiting infdels and unbelievers from testi
fying in courts and from holding office, and
argued their repeal. He announced the
principles OF his new party as favoring
complete divorce of Church and State. A
man may worship as he pleases, but he
shall not require his neighbor to help pay
the expense. This, he argued, is done by
exempting church property from taxation.
The party also favored complete divorce
of church and school, that women should
be made the equal of man so far as rights
are concerned and that education should
be made universal as means of diminish
ing crime.
Professor Jameson, another liberal lee
turer, spoke at the Grand Opera
house. His subject as announced was
Hell Closed For Repairs, though but few
of his very small audience remained till he
closed the institution. When our reporter
left he was still wrestling with the old in
stitution and the audience impatiently
hoping for the close. The lecture neither
interested, entertained nor instructed. 1t
was dry string of nonsense miserably de.
livered and every listener probably went
away disgusted with himself and the speak

A Little Squabble.

Hamlet Baron a colored man, was
charged in the Police Court, this morning,
with disorderly conduct. The arresting
officer testified that Hamlet had knocked a
man down at the corner of Sixth and John
streets without any provocation whatever.
Baron stated that he knocked the man
down because he had struck his (Baron's)
wife, The Judge was inclined to believe
Hamlet's side of the story, and accordingly
discharged him. Mr.. Murphy, the Prose-
cutting Attorney, thought that the State
had made out good case against Baron,
and began to express himself, when the
Judge sat down on him as follows: "Now,
look here, Mr.. Murphy, ] want no remarks
from you at all. l don't even want any
comments. Ill take all the responsibility
upon myself for what is done by this
Court" Mr.. Murphy murmured some re-
ply which was inaudible, and the dispute
between judge and prosecutor ceased.

[Chicago Daily News.l
The 9th Of February, 1879, Mr.. VIM.
Price, of Aurora, ILL.,, lost his three-year-
old daughter by abduction. He was a
tailor with a good business and some
money put aside. The child was stolen
while playing in front Of the house. A
thorough search Of the town was at once
made, but without discovery. Then he
came to Chicago, but met with no success.
While here he received news which led
him to think the child had been taken to
New York, and to that city he went. The
police assisted him. He wandered about
the streets for weeks, but could get no
trace of his little one.
His courage and hope deserted him,
and he was about to return home, when
he was startled, while passing the Foote
House, corner of Twenty-sixth street and
Third avenue, to see his child at win
dow. He ran to police station for help,
but when he returned she was gone. he
obtained clue to her disappearance.
She Lad been taken to Nova Scotia.
Thither he journeyed, only to find that
the party having his daughter had sailed
for Liverpool on ship. Mr.. Price took
the first steamer and arrived in advance
of the sailing vessel.
The Liverpool police authorities ex-
tended every aid to him, and all vessels
from Nova Scotia were searched, but nc
daughter discovered. At last, one morn
ing last August, ship came to anchor,
while he stood on the landing stage
watching, and a boat loaded with people
came ashore. Among the passengers the
father saw his child. In few minutes
she was in his arms, after an absence Of
seven months.
During all his search Mr.. Price had MOI
communicated with his wife or friends
Upon the discovery Of the stolen one nj
at once cabled home, and then took TIM
first steamer for America. He arrived IL
Chicago yesterday, and left at once TO
Aurora
