There were two men in IA Mississippi regi-
ment, commanded by Colonel Stith, OF Balti-
more. One OF these men contended that the
scriptures were of divine origin, and the other
said they were of human invention, and asked
his opponent, in one Of the arguments which
they were continually having If he believed
the story of Jonah and the whale, to which the
other replied, YES" DO you also believe
that the three Hebrews passed through the
fiery furnace without feeling the heatE' per-
sisted the infidel. Yes" came the answer
again. "Do you believe" came sharply, that
Sampson slew all those thousands of PhIlis-
tines with the jaw.bone Of an ass?' 1t was
Just after the battle Of Shiloh, and the believer
in the inspiration of the Bible had just had
some tough experience IN the difficulty Of
fighting only four or five to one. "Well,' ne
answered hesitatingly to the last homethrust,
"l-I-always regarded that story as a mere
camp rumor!'

A DOg-HatiDg Poet.

Alfred de Musset always declared that he
hated dogs for the reason that twice in his
life an animal OF the canine race had come
within an ace of wrecking his fortunes. The
first time was at a royal hunting party when
the poet, Louis Phillppe's guest as a bird
was flushed, fired hastily and sent the Citizen
Kings iavorite pointer to meet Cerberus. The
second time was when, candidate for the
Acadamle, DE Musset went to pay the custom.
AIRY visit to an influential Immortal whose
chateau was in Che environs of Paris. At the
moment that the poet rang at the gate All ig.
noble whelp of incredible ugliness, covered
with mud rushed to meet him with joyous barks
and fawned upon HIM to the detriment Of the
poets new pantaloons. Disguised as De Mus
set was it would have been perilous to have
driven off the Immortas faithful dog, SO he
was compelled to let the frlghtful animal lick
his hands, cover him with caresSes and mud
and precede him into the drawing room. A
moment later the Academician entered. De
Musset noticed his embarrassment, at which he
was not surprised, considering the behavior of
the animal. They adjourned TO the dining
room, followed by the dog. which, after giving
vent to his delight by various gambols and
cries, placed two muddy paws on the cloth,
sliced the wing of a cold chicken and began
contentedly TO deyour it.
That's the most abominable brute | ever
heard Of" thought De Musset, and continued
aloud, You are fond of dogs, | See
Fond of dogs?" echoed the Immortal Il
hate dogs"
But this animal bere.'
al have only tolerated the beast because it is
yours, sir!'
Nine" said De Musset. Il thought it was
yours, which was all that prevented me from
killing him.
The two men reared with laughter, and De
Musset made friend. Late that day yellow
dog crossed the frontier of the Rhine at Stras-
burg with the air of an animal that had scored
upon the tablets of its memory a decidedly
unpleasant recollection, and headed for Con
stantinople with undiminIshed CELEBRITY.

The year 1879 is SAID to have been the most
prosperous one in the history OF California
Its exports of wheat and barley amounted to
100000 IN value, the largest ever known.
The exports of wine were 2,0O0W0 gallons,
showing that California wines have recovered
from the disreputc into which they had fallen
several years ago on account of the careless
methods Of making them and the habit of
adulteratlng them, and that California VINE is
now growing rapidly in public favor, There
were built in the state 1870 vessels having an
aggregate tonnage of 9,2o8 tons. The receipts
of lumber in San Francisco were 212,000,000
feet the receipts of tea were nearly 10000, 900
pounds; the receipts on sugar were 4400, 600

water pitcher and went toward his dining
room to get drink. In going through the

figure of q burglar knecllng IN front Of his
secre,airc Mr.. Simpson crept noiselessly to
the burglar, and, raising high the stone pitch
er, he dashed it with al his might upon the
burglars head. Then he sprang to the window
and shouted, Police, Murder"
Within minute a policeman, some near
neigbbors and Mr.. Simpson were in the par
Tor.
Where is he: Where Is he - they cried.
There there he is-there!" yelled the Har-
Dor Master.
A shout of laughter followed. Mr.. Simpson
had thrown his own hat on his wite's water
proof cloak, and had mistaken this image for
a kneeling burglar
