II 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
I'd James & Webb's book store, 224
Market street. There were several
parties in the store at the time,
amongst whom was a minister of the
gospel and tall gentleman a member
of the church over which the minister
officiated.
The dog having a 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, sucn as
paper hangers sometimes use, as a
weapon of defence, and with its
aid he would no doubt haze climbed
higher had not the twelve foot high
ceiling presented an insuperab!o bal
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 flee when
40 man pursueth," and then casting
his eye downwards 1t met that of the
frOthing canine below. To fee he
thought would be but to invite attack
on that part of the human make up
that dogs usually Ego for" when
they are in earnest and so he
determined to try upon him the
powers of moral suasion, though he
was never 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 in the room,
that she would tarry moment at a
safe distance until she saw the success
of the Moral Suasion movement. The
minister succeeded most admirably in
making the dog "oply 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.

Personal.

Dr.. B. Y. Smith, who for the past
week has been quite urwell, is now
convalescent. The DR.. suffered the
loss of quite 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 forrshadow-
ing Of a long life of renewed vigor and
prosperity.

An FngIishman' Amusement.

FROM tne new L Orh Times.
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 a spree last
evening with 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
dignant 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.

Chicago. Juue l7.-ln the case OF the
Chicago and Alton Railroad Company
against Louis II. Meyer aud Samuel }.
Tilden and others, Meyer and TiIden
to-day, by leave of Judge Drummond,
filled a cross bill, setting up that they
and Adrian Iselin are the sole survivors
of the Trustees under the bond holders
agreement mentioned in the original
bill. The Chicago and Mississippi Com
pany executed several trust deeds dated
June /, 1858, and May II, 1874, and in
January, 1860, an agreement was
made, styled the bond holders agree
ment, by which Meyer, Tilden, and
Iselin were made Trustees, and acted,
i'll relation to the purchase of the
Chicago and Alton and its reorganiza-
tion. By the terms of this agreement,
a liberal discretion was allowed to the
Trustees in all matters not specifically
provided for, and the expenses OF
Trustees were to be paid for the
Chicago and Alton Road. Large and
various services have, it is claimed,
been rendered by the Trustees,
involving transactions in over SIT 1000
900 of securities, old and new and the
Trustees have assumed personal
liability in conduct of the trus. to the
amount of 81 100000 on a note made by
Meyer and Tilden and delivered to the
Chicago and Alton Road at the time Of
its purchase. The receipts given hy
Trustees embraced $4,000, 900 of secu-
rites.
Meyer and Tilden also claim that the
value of their services was very great,
and that there compensation should be
determined by the laws of New York,
where the compensation is determined
by ;he amount involved, and certain
percen'age thereon. Meyer has
already received $4,000 on account of
his services as Trustee, and $40 600 on
account of his services as disburse-
ments as Chairman of the Trustees.
Tlden has received$5, 900 for services,
and SIS, 900 as counsel for the Trustees.
This is only partial, and Meyer and
Tilden claim that there is still a large
amount due them on the same accounts.
The complainants ask that the court
will take account of the amounts due
them for their long and valuable SER
vices, and decree that moneys in their
hands may be supplied to the payment
of the same, as far as they will 60.

said, the demands an minister are

labor in New York opened to him of its

new springs in his own nature, take
the tired feeling out of him, and "give
him chance to use his store Of things"
and "help make him good for some

Tilden and the Presidency.

From the New York Tribune.
1t is uncommonly funny to see the
TiId4n organs trotting him ont again
for denomination on tho same battered
old platform. While the memory Of
th- wicked coparceners and the ciphers
is still green, We are assured III the
most solemn manner that the people are
demanding Tilden because OF the Re
form which he represents; that his own
party is opposed to him, but is power
les to override the demands OF a people
desperately determined to have Reform.
1t is a curious tact that this popular
demand is inaudibl4 to anyone save
the faithful Tiliep disciple-pro5ahly
because of his uuNaual eXpanse Of ear,
which enables nim to catch stray
sounds sooner than other people. fhr
discovery OF the clamUr at this lHomeqt

on The WorId newspaper, for it has re-
turned without warning to It's aban-
doned obelisk, which it snatchea from!
