A Dog That Understood.

A CORRESPONDENT writes to the De-
trOit Free Press: Some years ago we
were operating a leather store in a
small town in Wisconsin, and it was
part of our business to buy hides for
shipment East. The hide-house was
situated in rear of the lot and a wheel
barrow was employed to convey them.
This dog. which we named Watch, part
shepherd and Newfoundland, always
carried with the greatest delight the
KEY, which was attached to a piece of
shingle by a string. to the hide-house.
One day as Watch pranced gaily down
to the hide-house with the key in his
mouth he me- a strange dog. The two
commenced to snarl at each other. and
Watch closed his teeth so tightly into
the piece of shingle that he broke it in
two and lost n piece aud key. When
We got to the hide-house he came up
and had only the piece in his mouth.
Watch" said |, "this won't unlock
the door; where is the key?" Watch
looked up. and when the words were
repeated and the door shaken, TO show
that it could not be opened. he started
of. In a short time he returned with
the other piece of the single. He was
again shown the two pieces, put to-
gether this time, and made to under
stand that the key was vet missing. II
vas getting late and we followed him.
He stood a moment. as if rejecting
where he was at the time he met the
dog. and seeming up his tracks, found
the key and brought it to us dangling
from the string between his teeth. 1t
seems BY this that he certainly under
stood what we said to him about the
lost kew.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Miss MARY ANDERSON has just cele-
brated at Long Branch her t~wenty-firSt
birthday.
IT is announced that Mark Twain's
latest work is not for sale. 1t is a girl
- an innocent at home.
Mr.. W. L. WRIGHroN, the English
composer; who died at Tunbridge Wells,
was the author of Her Bright Smile
HauntS Me Still" He was in his sixty
fourth year.
Mrs. MARY j. HOLMES, the prolific
novelist, is travelling in Scotland with
her husband, and while on the way is
reading the proofs of n new novel called
Chateau dor"
Miss DUDU FLETCHER, the author
of those charming novels, Mirage
and ''Kismet." is about to publish a
new one with the striking title of 1.-The
Head of the Medusa."
Mr.. BELL, the inventor of the tele-
phone is thirty-two years old. He re-
ceived a large round sum for his in
v%ention. besides shares i'm the company
as consolidated, and he has a salary of
$25, 900 a year as an electrician.
BRET IARTE is well satisfied with
his new consulate at Glasgow. He will
pass some weeks of the summer with
Froude, the historian, at his residence
i'm Devonshire. He is engaged upon a
novel of country life in England,
whose scene is laid in Devonshire.
AT his country seat on the Hudson,
called Ardsley after the old homestead
of the Field family in England. Cyrus
W. Field has nine separate habitations
occupied by himself, his son, and his
daughters. Four other houses are oc-
cupied by his relatives.
MARSHALL o. ROBERTS. the New
York millionaire, began life in a lowly
manner. He kept a ship-chandler
shop. and was glad to retail tar and
oakum to the North River boatmen.
but he got into the California trade and

PROF. BAIRD, the Fish Commits
sioner, is said to be an Unsuitable novel
reader. When he goes away for the
summers fishwork he takes with him q
large valise of two compartments.
One is filled with the paper-covered
novels ABOUT to be real, the other with
those swiftly disposed of, where his
family may browse at their pleasure.
When it is remembered that a fish
story is a synonym for a relation of
fiction the suspicion of an homogeneous
mind will be removed.

introduced him 10 her elder sister ana
an old lady who was not ~arc.ative. they
explained, but was aS dear to them a.
though she was their own mother.
Then they all said in a general sort of a
way. Wei, are YOU all rcady?' and
answered themselves in the affirmative.
as they slowly followed the horror

memorial by William Stone Smith, a
very wealthy gentleman of that city,
to his deceased wife. The pulpit is
about seven feet high by three fee,
square, and is made entirely OF
polished brass, except the floor. treads
and handrail, which are of solid ma
hogany. The ornamentation consists
of rosettes, interSected with twisted
rods, after the style of 1850. The
eight posts or columns are intersected
at given epaceS with square grooved
blocks. and the balusters are round
and twisted in the center. There is a
scalloped apron below the floor, hand
somely ornamented, which greatly adds
to the appearance of the pulpit. The
whole is heavily braced and counter
braced. and is exceedingly strong and
massive. though it has a light and
graceful appearance. The reading

inside with scarlet velvet There are
four small gas-jets, and the light will
be hidden by a nickel-plated reflector
from the audience and the speaker.
