The Dog Which Resumed.
tDctrcit Frcc rrrss.

There was time when the man who
exhibited ten-dollar gold piece i'm n
Detroit restaurant would command the
respect of n small state Convention. but
resumption has killed all that. The
other forenoon when a traveller for an
Eastern crOCkery house entered a Girls
wold-strCct restaurant with halT-eaCle

show didn't cause any one To look
around n second time. The traveller
came in for nip, and he presently of

woman was talking with the man at the

out: " HeadsW The dog probably

A Swiss Commune.

The Commune Of Samnaune. one of
the most remarkable, a. it is one of the
least known, in all Switzerland. is
situated in mountain valley, six thou
sand feet above the level OF the sea. and
almost cut of from the world. The
inhabitants fetch their daily supplv oi
provisions from Martinsbruck. on the
other side Of the Inn, and for the greater
part OF the distance, seven hours in all.
they have 10 carry everything on their
backs up the steep mountain paths.
They get their letters from the Austrian
village OF Rauders, which involves a
walk for the postman Of ten hours, four
thither and six back. Fifty years ago
the members Of the commune met To-
gether, and being Of opinion that Ger
man was on the whole a more desirable
language for the ordinary purposes OF
life than their mother tongue, they re-
solved henceforth 10 speak German only.
and 10 teach IL 10 their children. 50
thoroughly has this purpose been car.
ried out that, with the exception Of a
few old people, the ROmanisch speech.
their native tongue, has been completely
forgotten by The inhabitants Of the
valley.

Eject Of the snez Canal.

English papers are now complaining
OF the damage done 10 the CARRYING
trade by the opening Of the Suez canal,
and believe that the Southern nations Of
Europe have gained the lions share Of
the benefits derived from it, A Man
chester paper says that before this
canal was opened all eastern produce
came round by the Cape Of Good Hope.
and England then standing i'm a most
favorable geographical position for
redistribution, became and for many
years WAS, the Wholesale house for the
whole OF Europe; but when the canal
was opened little by little, great
change for the worse came over the
scene. The quantity wanted for France
went 70 Marseilles; the Italians we're
supplied in less roundabout way than
via England and thence through the
Continent; the Austrians took theirs Mt
Trieste, the Turks At COnstantinOple.
and the Russians through the Black
Sea, instead Of via EDgland and the
Baltic. Thus n very large amount of

TriiliDgly Romantic.

Springfield, Mass. is the scene of a
little romance, which grew out of the
silly habit of correspondence between
young men and women who are unknown
10 each other. Some time ago a younp
man of Dubuque, Ia, advertised i'm

The only answer among the many he
received which enlisted his interest was
one that purported TO come from a lively
and well-to.do young widow of Spring

widow telling him frankly that

fused him. She said him nav and
scarcely had he left for his home again
before she began to regret that she had
not said him yea And IA time passed
she regretted it the more. Eventually
she induced friends to write to parties
in Dubuque inquiring about her hero;
and when the replies were invariably
most complimentary, she regretted il
the more still. But never WORD wrote
he. Finally, Notwithstanding her pride
she wrote TO him herself, telling him
how she had misjudged him and how

time-worn clothes in which he had pre-

Poisoned Spears.

The poisoned spears and arrows Of the
Samoa islanders we're described IN a
paper by Rev. T. Powell. lately pre
sented 20 the Linn@an Society of Ion
don The fact that Commander Good
enough Of the British Navy was killed
with these weapons in 1873 has drawn
particular attention % them. The
points are made Of human bones. The
poison with which they arc dipped Ia
first prepared Al fluid, and consists Of
the milky exudatiOns and other pro.
ducts Of various trees, mingled with A
substance which is obtained from wasps'
nests and the liquid yielded by decayinp
sea cucumbers. After the application
OF the poison the arrows are smoked
dry in a kiln. Mr. Powell obtained
this information from the son OF a
Samoan chief, but has not been able 10
determine the tree from which the prin.
cipal cOmpOnents are derived. Convul-
sions and symptoms like those Of lock
jaw are produced by wounds from these
poisoned weapons.

Senator Shields's Indian Story.

The new Senator from Missouri,
General Shields, is telling some big
Indian stories in Washington. At n
literary reception which one Of the
reporters Of the Post seems to have
attended, notebook in hand, the General
gave some scraps of autobiography in
quiet way. In the spring of 1856, while
travelling in Minnesota, near the Big
Woods, about forty miles from ST. Paul,
he came to a lake Of such picturesque
surroundings that he was tempted 10
explore it. Fastening his horse to
tree, he strolled on through the country,
and, on trying 10 retrace his steps,
found that he had lost his way. Night
was falling when he deserted Sioux
village OF fifty tepees or wigwams.
Entering the largest tepee he saw some
forty Indian warriors They took no
notice Uf the travellers entrance, and he
approached young and intelligent-look-
ing Indian and took hold Of string Of
beads which he wore round his neck,
and pulled trifle too hard, for the next
moment the beads strewed the floor.
The young man rose, seized his rife.
and, pointing TO the beads, ordered a
squaw 10 pick them up. He then
motioned 10 the visitor % precede him
and they marched out Of the village 20
point opposite 30 where he had
entered, aud, either by accident or
design on the part Of the Indian, made
a beeline for the lost horse, which they
found still securely fastened 10 the tree
After making his guide happy by giving
him fve-dollar gold piece, the traveller
made his way without further difficulty
TO st. Paul Delighted with the fertile
| spot ne had discovered, he purchased the
/ tract, including the lake and village,
\ and returned after few months with a
/ party Of ten and formed settlement,
which is nova large and prosperous city.

Origin Of Conk.Flrhflnr.

When Themistocles led an army Of
his countrymen against their barbarian
neighbOrs, he beheld two cocks engaV-
ing in furious combat The spectacle
was not lost upon him: he made his
forces halt, and thus addressed them
These cocks, my gallant soldiers, are
not fighting for their country. their
paternal gods, nor do they endure this
for the monuments Of their ancestors.
for their offspring, or for the sake OF
glory in the cause OF liberty; the only
motive is, that the one is heroicallv re-
solved not to yield to the other" This
impressive harangue rekindled their
valor, and led them 70 conquest. After
their decisive victories over the Per.
sians, the Athenians decreed, by law,
that one day should be set apart In
every year for the public exhibition ol
cock-hghting, a. the expense Of the
State.

Change Of the Enrth's Axis.

frof. Thompson, in some remarks be-
fore the Glasgow Geological Society on
some peculiarities in the rotation of the
earth, expressed some interesting opin-
ions of the circumstances according to
which the axis of the earth might be-
come changed through geological innu-
ences, and the consequences Of any such
change. The possibility of such change,
said Prof. Thompson, had been adduced
to account for the great differences in
climate which could be shown 10 have
obtained at different periods in the same
portion Of the earth's surface and the
question arose whether changes in the
earth's axis could account for these
changes Of climate. In the present con
dition Of the earth, it is admitted that
any change in the axis Of rotation could
not be permanent-though in very
early geologic ages, supposing the earth
to have been plastic, the yielding Of the
surface might have made the new axis a
principal axis; but certain il is that the
earth at present is so rigid that no such
change il possible. The Professor de
clares emphatically that changes Of eli
mate have not been produced by changes

American Meat In Great Britain.
lPAIl MallGhaet,.

The import of American meat into
this country is assuming such large
dimensions that il is not surprising
farmers begin TO be somewhat anxious
as 10 the future of the cattle trade
Some information on the subject, which
will be interesting not only TO them but
to meat consumers generally, was given
at dinner held a few days ago at Gas
gov by the butchers engaged in the
American meat trade. The Chairman,
in the course Of his observations, OBJ
served that farmers might be assured
that the coming summer and autumn
would be the worst they had had to face
with America, large freight contracts
having been entered into for the trans
port of cattle into great Britain. So
large were those contracts that he was
afraid many of them would never be
completed, as, if all were fulfilled cat
tie would be as cheap with us az i'm
America" With regard TO the increase
of the American trade il was stated
that the entire quantity of meat inn
ported into Great Britain in 1876 was
l6, ,l65, 632 pounds, the money value Of
which was 1889, 1886. In 1878 it had
risen TO 53,6Gl ,2l6 pounds, with money
value of CT, ,2G4, ,764; while from Europe
the total money value Of dead meat was
only 1868 The value of the imports
OF all classes Of live stock into Great
Britain last year from America and the
continent was G7 ,454 ,482, and with dead
meat added, G8,7S5,781. OF that sum
nearly G4,000,000 was from America.
Every year, it was pointed out, Europe
can spare fewer cattle, and to America
we must look 10 make up the deficiency
in the home supply. Sooner or later all
these importations Of meat must tell
upon our butchers bills; but at present
they remain, strange to say, as high az
