POnpeii.

Among the ruins of Pompeii and
Herculaneum the skeleton of q dog was
found stretched over that ola child. 1t
was conJectured, on the discovery, that
this dog, from his position, was at
tempting to save the child when the
eruption of Vesuvius was fatal to that
city. The opinion was confirmed by
the collar which was found, of curious
workmanship; its inscription stated that
the dog was named Delta, and belonged
to a man called Seryinus, whose life he
had saved on three occasions. First,
by dragging him out of the sea when
nearly drowned; then, by driving oil
four robbers who attacked him UNI
awares; and lastly by his destroying a
she-wolf, whose cubs he had taken, in a
grove sacred to Diana, near HercCla-
neum. Delta afterward attached him
self particularly to the only son of
Severinus, and would take no food but
what he received from the child's own
hand.

San Francisco Chronicle
AS the trial of speed against time to-
| day by St. Julian. in his effort to lower
his Unprecedented record OF 2:124, a..
tracts considerable attention among
horsemen, the following conversation
with U. S. Grant regarding some Of our
''hyers" is recalled by Chronicle report
er with whom he talked. After express
ing himself as gratified beyond meas
ure in being fortunate enough to have
witnessed st. Julian's great burst of
speed at Oakland park, he said in gen
eral way: 1t is difficult to estimate the
probable speed of a trotting horse of the
future. Now, Santa Claus. about the
finest specimen ofhorSefiesh | ever saw
will, | think, within FIVE years, if no ac-
cident happens to him, trot in 2:10 Fin
negan, his owner. told me his horse had
! trotted at different times, in private
quarters and halves at rate of speed
which would make that remarkable
time possibility. He is young and a
very strong horse and his 2;18 San Jose
was made in mere jog. From what
have seen and heard, 1t appears to me
that the great trouble in this state has
been q lack of thoroughbred mares, hut
/ believe this is about overcome, at
least it ought to be from the number
of the ones lately imported by wealthy
horsemen. The climate OF California
offers great inducements for eastern
horsemen to winter their stock here. 1t
enables them to exercise nearly every
day, which is of great value to trotters. "
Speaking of Rarus, the general said
zone is always surprised that horse of
his size can draw the weight he does,
and get over the ground as he does.
But he is regular machine, In refer
ing to his recent purchase by Bonner
the general remarked: Bonner has
any number of fast horses, and manages
horses almost better than any man |
know of; but would not take his Dex-
ter as present if | had to drive him
he is very unreliable horse, so unruly
and vicious on the road. He behaved
well enough on the track, for he knows
that all he has to do is to go around as
fast as ne can. and tell you he goes
pretty fast too" In answer to ques-
ton regarding the Arabian horses pre-
scented to him by the shah of Persia, he
said: "Y es, they are the most thorough
bred ever imported to this country.
They are not 50 very fast, but they are
said to have wonderful endurance, and
are very gentle. In England they pay
very little attention to time the horses go
over the course, and it does not matter
if one should stop and take feed of
oats, so long as he comes in first"
The general as it is well known. is a
fine horseman, driving four Or six horses
with equal ease. He enjoys the repu-
tation of being one of the best judges of
horses in the country, knowledge not
extensively possessed by many OF our
leading men, and but rarely among
our former presidents.

THE consolidation of the Edison Tel
ephone company with the Bell Tele-
phone company caused the stock of the
latter to rise from $50 to 81 900 share
"a phenomenal advance, which made
a few of the shareholders very wealthy,
particularly Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Brady and Mr.. Vail, formerly the
wellknown superintendent of the rail-
way mail service. They are understood
to hold controlling interest in the

New York and New Jersey, which is re-
garded as the most valuable part of the
company's business.

MAKING SAUER KRAUT.-The best we
eyer ate we made ourselves for many
wears, and for a considerable time with
our own hands, and always from Savoy
cabbage. 1t was manufactured in this
way: In the first place let your stand
holding from half barrel to barrel
be thoroughly scalded out; the cutter
the tub and the stamper also scalded.
Take of all the outer leaves of the cab
bage. halve then remove the heart and
proceed with the cutting. Lay some
clean leaves at the bottom OF the stand,
sprinkle with a handful of salt, fill in
half bushel of cut cabbage, stamp gen.
tly until the juice just makes Its appear
ance then add another handful of salt
and so on till the stand is full. CoFer
over with cabbage leaves, place on top
a clean board fitting the space pretty
well, and on top Of that stone weigh,
ing twelve or fifteen pounds. Sand
away in cool place, and when hard
freezing comes on remove to the celler.
It will be ready for use in from four to
six weeks. The cabbage should be cut
tolerably coarse. The Savoy variety
makes the best article, but it is only
half as productive as the Drumhead
and Fat Dutch.-G9nlGnt0a0 telegraph.
