A DOG IN DUBUQUE "A story is 60
ing the rounds of the press about dog
in Dubuque. L., who, to avenge him
self for being locked up in the house
by his mistress, took her music and
laid it out piece by piece upon the
chairs and scattered her wardrobe from
one end of the house to the other.
Then, in retaliation for the punish
ment this brought upon him, he took
up his abode with his mistress mother.
Tue next morning, however, he walked
into the lhouse .with his owner. silk
dress which she had loaned. for the
sake of the pattern, to friend. He
had walked into the lady's house, saw
it lying on the floor, recognized it, and
made dive at tho lady who jumped
behind a door, and eagerly watched the
rest of the performance. The dog
rolled up the dress, grabbed it in hls
mouth, and rushing off home with it.
laid it as propiation at his mistress
feet.

With the native energy Of which De
ILssErs seems To bc possessed. Ec has
gone L. work and compirt,da survey
o.. his hy0rite ruutr for an lSihmus
canal, and ascrTtainrd IT'S cost, while
his American competitors IN the scheme
are specializing about the different
routes, or beSiesing Congress Tor funds
1, make preliminary survey.
The report oi DE LNSsErs' engineers
unanimously avors s,a-lcvrl canal,
sli estimates the cost at SiS,OOGUO
francs, which at present rates OF ex-
change between New York and fariS
would make about SI62, OOO,OOO.
The canal is 70 be completed IN eight
wears. and VI. De LESSErs proposes to Is
sue a circular, upon the basis OF these
reports, offering to take Amert-
can subscriptions to the amount OF one
hall OF the capitol stock. The tolls upon
the new canal are to be Is francs, OF
about s. per ton. In an interesting ar
lisle upor this subject it is estimated
that with tells at 81 90 per ton the Mica
raguan canal could be made 10 pay ex-
penses and to command a tonnage OF SIX
million tons per anuum. 1t Is not an
nounced whether the estimates OF
the surveying engineers include
''euntingencicS," which are always
included by United States engineers IN
their estimates, usually to the amount
Of 20 per cent. Ii is a fact, however,
that the original stock subscriptions Tor
the Suez canal were 20O,OOO,OOO francs,
say SiO,OOO,OOO, afterwards in
creased to S00,0OO,0O0 francs, and
that the canal actually cost upwards
of lOO,OOO,0O0 francs, or SSO,OOO,O0o
before it was completed. Upon the
same basis the Panama canal my be
expected to cost much more than the
estimates now submitted. The matter
Of this isthmus canal business Is said to
bs now receiving the vigorous attention
Of Congress and OF the authorities at
Washington, and it is stated that ener-
getic steps are being taken to establish
United States naval stations on the
coasts Of Central America, within easy
distance Of the route Of the proposed
canal.

An ewes are now turned eagerly 10
the New York Republican Convention,
which is to NEE; one week from to-day.
SHERMAN has claimed to be strong in
New York city, where the National
banking interest, 80 markedly favored
by him in the reiunding negotiations,
has its greatest influence; but Senator
CoNKtING really controls New York,
and as he is set down for GRANT, it is
thought he will instruct the convention
to select a GRANT delegation to Chicago.
Then, with the two great States OF Penn
sylvania and New York pledged to
GRANT, and the Illinois reinforcement
plainly in sight the nomination OF the
ex-PreSident would seem almost as
sured-unless delegates repudiate their
instructions. As is threatened. In that
case matters viii be very serious and
uncertain.

The only homework that some girls
do is when they begin to dust around
after beau.
Eggs often turn black when boiled
hard. II they are put in boiling
water ten minutes, and then into cold
water, the yolk will remain a bright
yellow.
1t is impossible for house plants to do
we'll if the earth about them remains
wet for any considerable length of time
say two days. Plants need fresh
water the same as individuals. Let the
earth be SO porous and the drainage so
complete that the plants will need wat
ering daily.
Arm bags of embroidered and hand
painted satin gathered on . ribbon now
depend from the arms Of matrons as in
revolutionary days. From their resem-
blanss to one seen in pictures Of the old
lady who, according to nursery rhymes,
searched unsuccessfully in the cupboard
for bone, they are called "Mother
Hubbard" bags.

Homes of the Poor.

Passing into First avenue, we find
that nearly every building is a tene-
ment house, and large majority of
them are six stories high. Every
building has its row of stores facing on
the street, and then its three, four, five
LAYERS Of families-families because they
consist of parents and children, but not
families in the sense we are used to,
where both parents and all the children
strive to make home happy. Each door
is divided into many suites of rooms
each suite occupied by from four to six
or more persons. The door of one Of
these tenement houses stands invitingly
open-if anything in this cherries neigh
borhood can be said to be inviting. No
one will have any objections to our going
up, for nothing is very private here
about. The people we are going to see
are as likely to be honest as we are, and
they work and earn their own living.
They are independent and beg Of no
no man. As for vice, they have little
chance for it; they are too busy strug
Cling for life. The head of nearly every
one of these families in this great build
ing lisa laboring man. They have broad
shoulders and brawny arms and strong
muscles, and they work all day and
every day, except in a few cases where
gin and the head of the house occasion
ally go of on picnic together. By
their hard labor, taking few holidays,
they can barely scrape enough together
to keep themselves and their families
alive. The city price for these men is
81 60 per day, and this may be taken
as an average. This gives them 80 GO
q week, out Of which they generally
have to pay 60 cents car fare. The
family then have 80 a week to pay their
rent, keep their table, and buy their
clothes. In some cases the head of the
family is q mechanic, and makes more
money in others he Is drunkard and
makes less. The more money, of course,
the better the "style" in which the
family lives. These people cannot at
ford the three things we are foolish
enough to believe Heaven has furnished
alike to the rich and the poor-air, light
and water Even water is costly in
New York, but air and light must bt
reckoned among the expensive luxuries

Things that Women Want to
Know.

Woven petticoats that come for little
girls as we'll as women, in attractive
patterns and bright colors, are fast TAX
ing the place of flannel They are not
SO liable to shrink in washing, and while
light in weight they cling to the figure
and make very warm garment.
A fact worth remembering in con-
nection with sealskin is that after it has
been exposed to rain or snow it should
be first well shaken and then hung up
to dry in room where there is no ar
tifcial hea.. If dried by fire or fur
mace the fur becomes matted together
and defaced.
Mirrors for the boudoir at present
dividing the favor of ladies are the oval
swinging mirror, having suspended
above and facing it another Of smaller
size, and the Japanese triplicate folding
mirrors which give at once back, side
and front views, thus revealing at once
the whole effect OF the toilet.

An Ocean Wait.

In October, 1876, the bark Ada Ire.
dale, British vessel, en- route from
Newcastle to San Francisco, loaded with
coal, was discovered to be on fire in her
hold. She was then in latitude Is de-
grees south, longitude 106 degrees, Is
minutes west. 1t soon became evident
that the fire could not be controlled and
she was necessarily abandoned by her
officers and crew, consisting of 23 men.
In getting off one Of the boats capsized
and one man was lost. The crew ar
rived safely at the Marquesas Islands in
their boats, where they were taken on
board the schooner John Bright and
conveyed to Tahiti. Immediately after
the abandonment of the Ada Iredals by
her crew an explosion occurred, and
they supposed that she would soon
founder. Such, however, did not occur,
but the burning ship haunted the South
Pacific Ocean for months thereafter,
and was reported by half a dozen YES
sells as having been sighted during that
period. Early in 1877, the Iredale, or
what was left of her, was discovered
drifting near Tahiti, still on fire. She
was towed by French man of war into
Papeete. When discovered she was
2,340 miles from where she was when
abandoned. The cargo of coal was
nearly all consumed, but small amount
was still smouldering. There was one
hundred tons Of ashes and debris in her
hold. A. Crawford Il Co., of San
Francisco, purchased her hull and COM
pletely reconstructed her, and after
voyage of forty-two days from Tahiti,
she arrived in that port. Application
has been made to Congress to change
her name to Annie II. johnson.
The Congressional Committee to
which the subject was referred has re-
ported in favor of allowing the change
of name.

Development of Milling Interests.

A review Of the Northwestis full of
interesting facts and figures Prior to
1870, the manufacture of flour was car
ried on chiefly in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and the New England States.
Since that time our Eastern mills have
barely held their own, while the milling
interests of the Northwest has had
wonderful development. More than
twenty-five hundred mills have been
erected during this time in Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota
showing an annual increase of two
hundred and fifty ruils. Of the twenty
five thousand flour mills in this country,
nearly half are Northwest of the Ohio
river, and if we consider them in rela-
ton to their manufacturing capacity, at
least two thirds of the whole amount of
flour manufactured in the United States
is produced by the mills in the North
western States. In the past ten years
the West has doubled her run of -four
mills and tripled her run of stone.
Estimating the run of stone in the mills
of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime
sofa to be l0,4OO, each run consuming
sixty bushels of wheat per day, we have
a daily consumption of 624, 900 bushels,
and yearly consumption of 2l7,0OO,-
900 bushels Thus we see that these
four Northwestern States alone, if
worked to their fullest capacity, could
make 100000 barrels per year, or
nearly seven-eighths of the entire flour
product of 1878. The actual amount
produced in 1879 by the mills of Mime
sofa is about 100000 barrels. The
mills of Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa
have an aggregate production of 5000
600 barrels, nearly two-tfths of the
product Of the country.

The Irish Relief Ship.

The ship Constellation, which was put
into commission, Thursday, for her
charitable voyage to Ireland, is one of
those splendid old vessels constructed OF
live oak, which our ship-building ances-
tors knew how to build, and which navy
officers fondly guarantee will =" last for
eve-." Size was built in 1897, and pre-
sented to the government by the ladies
of Baltimore. She is about 1000 tons
burden, and, although originally cen
siructed solely with view to efficiency
as a man-of-war, almost every inch of
her space can be made available for
freight purposes. She has been rebuilt
several times, but she is practically the
same solid old body, and reputation in
the navy for sailing qualities is very
high. The following are the officers as
signed 20 her Commander L. E. Potter
commanding ofiicer), Lieut.. Com
mander J. NJ. Forsyth, Lieuts. Cogswell
and Law, Ensigns Wilmer and Dorm,
Midshipman Halpin, Paymaster Bill
lings, Boatswain Bousell, Sailmaker
White The nine inch guns were hoist
ed out Thursday, and provisions for her
crew of so men were put on board. She
will be ready to receive her cargo about
the middle OF this week. Three-fourths
of her space has already been engaged
by three charitable individuals, and the
remaining quarter will be promptly
filed by miscellaneous contributions
