Mrs. Charles II. Rice keeps a boarding
house at North End" Her husband is the
proprietor of grocery store in that locality.
Mrs. Rice has recently got into difficulty
owing to not curbing her temper. A Mrs.
Laura Watson heard that a hired girl was
wanted at the residence of the Rice's, and
went up to the grocery store aforesaid to ap-
ply for the position. Mr.. Rice was il room
over the store, and Mrs. Watson went up
stairs and knocked at the door. 1t was open
ed by the partner of Mr.. Rice's joys and sor.
rows, who inquired what Mrs. Watson
wanted. Mrs. Watson said she want
ed to see Rice about the posi-
ton. His wife stepped inside and
called her husband to the door. An animated
conversation cnsued among the trio, which
ended in Mrs Rice pitching Mrs. Watson
head first down stairs. Then Mrs. Watson
applied to headquarters to have Mrs. Rice ar
rested for assault. The officers proceeded to
the residence of that irate female and was
there informed that she would see them

HOW a DOG EARNED A PENSION.

A dog in New Mexico has earned pen
sion in this way: Returning of an evening
with his sheep to the fold, he discovered
that his master was not stirring about, but
renamed in the shanty and kept livery quiet.
The next evening it was the same The
dog, when he penned up the sheep, repaired
to the shanty, smelled through the crack
in the door mis- masters presence, but the
man did not move. The dog scratched,
barked, and even howled, but no response
came from within. The dog, true to his
appointed duty, went out with the sheep
on the third day and cared for them while
they cropped the heritage on the hillsides.
But he was getting hungry, and that night
when he drove the flock into their pen the
last one to get in became the victim of his
appetite. This method of providing for his
own wants became part of the faithful
dogs daily duty. Every evening the last
sheep to try to enter the fold was seized by
him and served for supper and break
fast and for dinner the following
day. The ranch to which the dog
belonged was in solitary part of the Ter
ritory, and out of the track of travel or
visitation. For two years from the time
of the masters death-as ascertained by
data left by the latter-the faithful dog
tended the flock committed to his charge,
and had fresh mutton for his supper every
night. The flock was not decimated by
this steady drain upon its resources. On
the contrary, it increased in numbers, and
when, at the end of two years from the
time of the death of the proprietor the
ranch was visited, and the remains OF the
g.. h. IL, - / L
post of duty, jealously guarding his flock,
and driving them to the best pastures every
day, and to the fold at night, before which
he slept, to keep the wild sheep.eaters of
the plains at civil distance. Such fidelity
excited admiration wherever the story was
told, and the legislators of tie Territory,
in fit of generosity and enthusiasm, at
their session two years ago granted PEN
sion for life to that dog to be paid from the
State treasury, as reward for his fidelity,
and no doubt as an encouragement to other
shepherd dogs in that Territory to be good
dogs and faithful.

AUCTIONS.

1t is said that auctions originated, so lar
as known, in ancient Rome, where mill
tary spoils were sold to the soldiers behind
spear thrust into the ground, and thence
called auctio sub hasta The spear was
afterwards put up at all kinds of auctions,
and the name was retained long after the
symbol had been disused. Permission of
magistrate was always necessary a spear
was fixed in the forum by a crier, who
announced the articles to be disposed of and
supplied the people present with cata.
logue on tablets. Subsequently sales were
proclaimed by trumpets, and bids made by
holding up fingers. The most remarkable
auction in Rome was held near the close of
the second century, when the Pretorian
Guards offered the Empire to the highest
bidder There were but two competitors,
Sulrican and Julian, and it was knocked
down for $3.50 drachmas, yielding what
would be in our currency about 81 600 to
each of the guards. It is stated in the
New York Times that in England, sales
8. by the candle are still advertised occa-
sionally, and derive the name from an old
practice of limiting the time within which
bids must be completed by the burning of an
inch candle. The smallest price the owner
of property was willing to take was some
times put under candlestick, and termed
dumb bidding; and in the North of Eng
land, when bidders do not know one an
others offers, these were called candlestick
biddings. Two or three generations since,
singular sort OF auction used to be held by
women, who preserved strict silence dur
ing its progress, but gave to each person
glass of brandy at the moment of his bid
ding, the purchaser being the recipient of
the last glass in private room. In the
Netherlands the ordinary process is re-
versed, the seller naming the price beyond
the value of his goods, and lowering it
until some one closes with the offer made,
which should be styled diminution rather
than an auction.
