CRUSOEING.

Some Instances of Where IL Has Not Been
so Pleasant Ii Z. Set Down In Ro-
nance.
THEdelights OF solitude have been fer
wildly extolled by writers who took good
care to keep themselves within hail of the
busy hum of men; but its fancied
charms have soon palled upon unfOrtu-
mates condemned to silent life, either
by their own within, the tyranny of
others, or circumstances over which
nobody had any control.
Alexander Selkirk tried the expert
ment of living in solitary independence
of his own option and under very favor
able conditions. The island wherein
he elected to abide was one of the fair
est spots upon earth. blessed with de-
licious climate and grateful soil. He
was well provided with clothes to cover
him, arms to protect him, books and
tobacco to solace him. His larder was
well supplied with kid-iiesh, fish, seal
and sea-lion meat, which he could sea-
son to his liking with pimento-pepper;
while cabbages, turnips, radishes, pars-
nisps, purslain. parsley and water-cress
were at his command. Still it took
eight months to reconcile Selkirk to
his self-elected lot, and after enduring
it for four years, he gladly babe adieu
to his Eveless paradise.
YOUTHFUL CRUSOE.
Three weeks experience of CrusOe-
ing sufficed to bring an unwilling soli-
tartan to deaths door. but he was
mere lad, wanting three years to be out
of his teens. when getting separated
from his messmates, while seeking wood
and water on one of the Galapagos
Islands, he lost himself in the forest.
After passing an uncomfortable night
there, daylight saw Lord rovingin quest
of what he might devour, and finding
nothing save big snake, unavailable
for staying his appetite; and when night
came round again, he was still wander
ing in maze of trees, weary with walk
ing, and faint for lack of food; fearing
to sleep on the ground lest he should
intrude upon the privacy of some dead
ly serpent. This difficulty he surmOunt-
ed by climbing a tall tree, and rOOsting
in its branches, unaware that he had
fellow-lodger in a big owl, until. on
leaving his airy chamber in the morn
ing, he knocked the bird down, and
turned the accident to account by break
fasting upon the owl. without any fur

Madly he dashed down the mountain

that the Board of Education should have a Pro-

physicians have had the controlling powers Of
our Boards hitherto, but as our conditions are

any practical practitioners We should have

SATAN'S CONQUEST.
One more unfortunate
Fell from the level,
Rashly importunare,
Gone tn the devil

Gone to the devil.
Last week we learned that Mrs.
Bennett, who had for the past few
days been in the employ Of the City
Restaurant, had suddenly left the
restaurant and taken up her quarters
in the house of i'll fame, which is al
lowed to ply it's nefarions business in
lie midst OF Wadena society. Accord
ingly a reporter visited Mr.. Witter
to ascertain the truth of the report,
and from him is enabled to present
the following facts: It seems that
she had had trouble sufficient to cause
Il separation from her husband, who
lives OH Stowe Pr;irie, and had been
working out during tho past few
months coming from Elliot's mill to
work for Mr.. Witter. She was quite
confidential, and when talking Of her
five children whom she said she had
left forever, the tears would stream
down her cheeks, and only by turn
ing her mind in another cllaHnel could
her sorrow be relieved. She received
the attention of young man whom
she lntimatetl she was to marry. and
with whom she used to walk out oc-
casionly. During the entertainments
last week "Wednesday, a note was left
with i boy for her by one Of the pro-
prietors of the .:dive' which was de-
livered to her not long after she left
the place, and it appears went direct
~ to the ''liviag dead house, and

to see the good work go on. We
would suggest that a walk be built
! either from, the corner of l'hird or
Fourth street to the depot. It would
be quite convenient for the citizens
themselves in wet sloppy times, to
say nothing of its convenience to WIS.,
itors, to whom it would be an evil
dence of prosperity and energy. The
cost would be trifiing compared with
| it's value.

the plaudits of it's contributors and
the unanimous approval of it's constit-

it's short stay at this point, and the
numbers who focked to see it made
close inspection impossible. We can
simply say, it is a grand success, and
is as replete with specimens of this

ders it consistent. Grain of all kinds

Wendell Phillips is rich man, but
he lives on very plain street wherein
mechanics live, in Boston. Everything
about his house is old, much worn, but
clean and never shabby. He has very
few pictures, because even line en-
craving to suit his cultivated taste costs
considerable money, and he is unwill-
ing to buy what a poor man could not
afford. He is friendly in very quiet
way. He is edevoted husband, and when
he is at home always dimes in the room
of his wife, who has been an invalid
ever since she was girl, and who
never leaves that room. Garrison once
said that he did not know what Phillips
religion was, bat that it must be liberal.
Redpath says that in crisis in the
anti-slavery movement, as Mr.. Phillips
was leaving his house to make speech,
his wife said: Don't shilly-shally,

A California hog Story.

Michael Sullivan, employed at South
Vallejo, Cal, to watch the depot and
clean out the pas senger coaches, has
wonderfully intelligent dog which is
called Mickey. The animal, says the
Vallejo Chronicle, became the properly
of Sullivan when puppy, and he con-
Guided to drown him. IL being very
warm day, he called at brewery for n
glass Of beer, and put the pup on the
counter while ne quenched his thirst.
While he was talking with the proprie-
tor he left the glass on the counter,
partly filed with beer. The little dog
crawled up to it, and Tapped the beer
with the keenest relish until it was all
gone. Another glass was disposed of
in the same manner. Mike then changed
his mind about drowning the pup, and
has kept him until the present time.
Every day Mickey looks for his
schooner" If beer with as much ex-
pectancy as Mike does himself. If the
owner cannot 60 for his favorite bev-
erage, ne places dime in -Mickey's
mouth, and the dog trots off to the
brewery, places it on the counter, and
waits patiently for the bartender to fill
the glass.
AS soon as the cars come in, Mickey
is always first to go through and look
for anything that may have been left
behind by the passengers. If he dis
covers anything, he stands at the door
of the car and barks until his master
comes to him. Once Mickey saw an
article left in one of the hat-racks, a I'd
ran to his master to call his attention
to it. While he was gone, an idler
standing in the depot passed through
the cars, and, noticing the package,
stole it, but it was afterward recovered
since that time Mickey never leaves the
car until his master comes In. In clean
ing out the cars Mickey is always on
hand to carry the mops and busters
from one car TO the other.
