Bulger, In Lexington, KY, known as
the Funeral dog" succumbed to old
age. When Bulger's master was buried
FIVE years ago the faithful dog remained
at the grave, howled piteously and
tried to scratch to the coffin. After
ward he followed to the cemetery every
funeral that passed through the streets,
and returned from the burial with the
mourners. When coffin was deposited
in vault, and the lid removed, Bulger
would place his feet on the bench and
survey the face of the corpse, as if still
looking for his master.

Jim" was a crow, with crippled

Cooper's Point, Va. After recovering
from his injuries he attended his bene-

favorite r0ost was either at the mast
head or on one of the mems shoulders.
jim always gave orders to tack when
approaching the shore. One day when
the wind was ahead and the tide was
low, short tacks were necessity, but
the skiff was soon ashore on her center
board. With shril, derisive cry, the
crow struck its owner in the face with
both wings, and flew away. evidently
disgusted.
A trio of puppies kept up such bark

one of them barked he chastised the one

soon hit ON the plan of making tie trio
responsible for one another, and on
hearing a bark he chastised all. The
mother was with them, and finally the
barking was followed by a squeal; the
mother had one OF the pups by the
neck. The master went out and patted
her, signifying that she had done well.
She wagged her tail in satisfaction. and
the dogs never barked again, excepting
on the most provoking occasions.

Not Affected By Laughing Gas.

A correspondent writes to the London
Times Last week l had occasion to go
to well known firm of dentists in the
city to have a tooth drawn. As the
operation seemed likely to be difficult
and very painful one, it was decided
that should be subjected to the infiu-
ence of nitrous-oxide gas, which was
administered by doctor. To the
astonishment both of dentist and doctor
but not to me-they found that when
I had inhaled the usual quantity, about
eight or nine gallons (this gas being ap-
parently measured by gallons and not
by feet), / was not in the least affected,
and they went on until had taken in
between eighteen and nineteen gallons.
was still entirely unasphy but
Just then thought the doctor moti0ned
to me to shut my eyes, which had been
wide open. He had not done SO; but
when the eyes closed, the dentist, think
ing / was insensible. drew the tooth,
and with it howl from me. During
the whole operation ] was perfectly
sensible Of what was going on, and felt
the pain as acutely as ii no anBsthetic
had been used, In all the wide expert
ence of the doctor and the dentist, and
of several other medical men to whom
the fact has been mentioned, not one of
them ever came across a patient on
whom this powerful an@sthetic had no
effect, nor has any one of them known
another person take anything like the
quantity administered to me. The
usual sensations after the use of gas are,
l believe, those of lightness and gayetys
but in this respect also was unaffected.
Presumably, no quantity of the gas
could have had the desired result, for
the lungs must have been quite full
when tie doctor left off. / may mem
ton, too, that six or seven years ago |
took twenty gallons in similar circum-
stances, and was wondering when 1t
was going to act, when the gas gave
out and the dentist had to extract the
tooth at once. Whetherfo kinds Of
an@sthetics would operate upon me I
cannot say, not having taken any.

to fight duel with him. This rival
was of the large and ter1ible family of
cousins, and as all cousins are lovers by
nature, handsome Leon came to pour
out his sighs before Nile. B. -, who
allowed him to sigh ahead that Bleuet
might grow Jealous and create some fun.
When the schoolboy found handsome
Leon at Mile. BIS feet he could
scarcely beueve IN sucn per6dy. Why,
that very morning his sweetheart had
kissed him on the forehead and had
called him her dear Bleuet. and was it
possible that while he was struggling
with nouns and verbs at school she
could allow another man to kiss her
hands?
On seeing the schoolboy the cousin
exclaimed:
g All, here's little Bleuet, of whom
you have told me. What a nice childr'
Bleuet wished that he was twenty
years old that he might slap this man,
who, not content with taking his place,
permitted himself to be insolent as we'll !;
but he was only ten and could do moth
ing.
After. the cousins departure there
was a scene. Bleuet was superb. Again
he wished to break things and even
talked of killing himself. Nile. B
swore that she loved him only, but this
did not entirely satisfy Bleuet. The
next day he feicned sickness to get off
from school and kept guard over his
sweetheart from morning until night.
The following dav his mother forced
him to attend his class, but the session
was terrible one, for Bleuet proved the
most insubordinate pupil ever seen.
That evening the schoolboy on his
return ran straight to Mile. b. He
looked around for traces of the cousin,
bus none were visible.
But poor Bleuet was cruelty deceived.
Handsome Leon had been there, and
had profited by his absence to kiss Mile
B., for the cousin is creature much
given to kissing.
The morrow was the young lady's
birthday, and Bluet wished to make her
suitable present. On arriving at
school he SO conducted himself as to be
put in durance, and passed the day in
composing piece of poetry-but what
poetry! The terrible schoolmaster,
however, surprised him just as he had
finished a handsome copy of his pro-
duction, and cramming the poem in his
pocket, announced to the poet, that he
would not set him free until he could
recite without a mistake the history of
the first ten kings Of the second race.
But love worked miracle for Bleuet.
He did not reeoil before the enormous
dose of royalty, and two hours after
ward knew his lesson by heart.
He was given his liberty. but it was
eight o'clock in the evening, and he was
minus his poem. When he reached his
sweetheart's apartments he was in
formed by the governess that Mile.
b, with the permission of the physi-
clans, and to try her strength, had gone
out carriage riding.
Alonepn demanded Bleuet.
No, with her cousin, who called to

We Are Growing Old Together.

We are growing old together,
Thou dearest OF the dear;
The morning OF our life Is passed,
And the evening shades appear,
Some friends we loved arein their graves,
And many arc estrangeds
But in sunshine and in shadow
Our hearts have never changed.
We are growing old together,
The ivy and the tree
A fitting emblem is, dear,
OF the love 'twixt you and me
To be worthy OF each other
In the past was all our aim;
And tbs pleasant now to know, dear,
Our hearts are all the same.
We are growing old together
Together may we die
Together may our spirits soar
To our home beyond the sky;
For we loved as lew can love, dear,
When LIES fiowery paths we ranged;
And though we've wandered long here,
Our hearts have never changed.

THE PROBABLE CHOICE OF THE DEMO
CRATIC DELEGATES FROM OHIO.
CINCINNATI, March 12.-The Demo
cratic State central committee of Ohio
held a meeting at Columbus to-day and
decided to hold the State Convention at
that place on May Q for the purpose OF
electing all delegates to the National
Convention, including four at large. The
time for holding the nominating conven-
tion will be fixed there. This method Is
contrary tn Democratic custom, delegates
to the contrary to the National Conven-
tion being usually elected by districts.
The meeting to-day was harmonious.
The currency question is still prominent.
The soft-money faction is IN the ascen-
dancy and dictated the course Of to-day's
proceedings. Hsrd-money men preferred
no convention until after the National
one. They fear that if the Safe meeting
is held previous TO the Cincinnati Con-
vention a platform may be adopted
which will not harmonIze with the ma
tional one and with those Of other States.
The feeling in favor Of Thurman is al
molt universal, but 1t Is coupled with no
hope of his nomination, and the general
understanding is that, after one or two
complimentary ballots in the convention,
Ohio will be for Tilden.

The Color Line In tho south,

Mr.. Ruby, the colored editor of the
organ of the colored race In New Or.
leans, in his examination before the Ex-
odus Committee at Washington, has
given some important evidence which
goes to show that II the whites and
blacks had been allowed to manage
their own affairs without dictation from,
Washington the relations of the two
races would long ago have been adjusted
upon satisfactory basis. Referring to
former campaigns he said that while
there were several parishes where the
negroes were not allowed 10 90 to the
polls unless they voted the Democratic
ticket there were other localities in
which the white conservative planters
were so strong that they insisted upon
fair play and allowed the negroes to do
as they pleased. Instead OF encourag.
ing this white conservative element the
policy of the last national administra,
ton was, by It's thick and think support
of the carpet-baggers, to drive them over
to the side of the "bulldozers," and SC
bring about reign Of terror in the
State, which would afford plea for the
use of the military.
Since the present administration
came into power the federal authorities
have ceased to interfere In the Internal
affairs Of the South, and the result is
that the color line is gradually passing
away and that the blacks are infinitely
better off politically than they were un-
der the old regime. This is true OF
nearly every Southern State, but es-
pecially so OF Georgia, South Carolina,
Mississippi, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, In the latter State the two old
parties are hopelessly divided OH the
debt question, and the blacks are rang
ing themselves some on one side and
some on the other. Without entering
into discussion Of the causes that have
brought about this result in Virginia
the change is decidedly for the better.

greatest blessing that could fall upon
