SENT BY THE BOSS.

The Police Court has just dis
posed Of a very strange man. His
name is John Dawson, and the
first notice taken of him by any
of the officers was several days
ago, when he attracted the atten-
ton Of Sergt. Fields. He was
kicking up dirt around a water
plug, as though his intention was
to cover it up
"What are you doing?" asked
the officer.
Garth to earth and dust to
DUST" said the man. "The Boss
above commands me, and I
obey" ,..
He had such a way OF rolling
back his eyes, and could effect
such sweeping changes OF physl-
ognony that the officer continued
to stand watching him.
"'Few and evil are the days oi

Going to New Orleans in Character.

Shortly after the collapse of
the Confederacy an ex-soIdier
who had spent all his pay in
rioting and whisky drinking
found himself in Shreveport
strapped and busted, yet full Of
exped1ents. DESTROYS of reach
ing his home he inquired the
fare, and to his dismay found it
it to be SIS. Now that amount
was as big as million in Bil|y's
sight. After casting about he
bethought himself of a scheme.
The steamer National was nearly
ready to leave her berth when
Billy made his appearance on
the wharf and sang out:
Il say, captain, how much do
you charge to carry q barrel OF
whisky to New Orleans?''
"Two dollars D replied the cap
tain.
"All right" replied Billy.
"Send out couple Of your deck
hands and roll me- aboard"
Capt. Hamilton saw the joke,
an 1 sent out the mud clerk to
take the marks, weight, ETC., o1
the "freight.'
Billy was invited to a seat al
the cabin table by the captain
| and travelled to New Orleans in
style, as barrel OF whisky" by
which name he was afterwards
known.

maiden fancy. This looked as

who can tell the workings of a
woman's heart?
This is what bothered the

A California Dog Story.

Michael Sullivan, employed at South
Vallejo, Cal, to watch the depot and
clean out the passenger coaches, has a
wonderfully intelligent dog which is
called Mickey. The animal became
the property of Sullivan when a puppy,
and he concluded to drown him. It
being a very warm day, he called at
brewery for a glass of beer, and put the
pup on the counter while he quenched
his thirst While he was talking to the
proprietor he left the glass on the coun-
ter, 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
s'schooner - of beer with as much
expectancy as Mike does himself. If
the owner can not ofor his favorite
beverage he 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 60 through and look for
any thing that may have been left be-
hind by the passengers. If he discovers
any thing he stands at the door of the
car and barks until his master comes to
him. Once Mickey saw an article left
one of the hat-racks, and 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 cleaning out
the cars Mickey is always on hand to
carry the mops and busters from one
car to the other. Vallejo Chronicle.

The Greatest Danger of Railroad
Travel.

The risk of sudden death is very tri-
fling compared with the inevitable in
jury sustained by every individual who
has to make a long journey by rail. The
traveller really takes his life in his hand
whenever he sets out. The danger is
less from accident than design, less
from misplaced switches than from mis-
placed ventilators, less from bad road
beds than from bad air. We are not
now speaking of the 5arbaric nuisance
of having to smell, breathe and battle
in the smoke, SCOT and cinders pouring
in from the engine, which, until some
other method is found to obviate the
difficulty, ought to be in the rear of the
train, instead of the front OF all con
ductors, brakemen, porters and pas
sengers, probably not one in the thou
sand understands the vital Importance
of pure air, nor, indeed, do they know
what pure air is. To the CONDUCTOR
mind, as to that of the majority of his
passengers, the comfort of the car de-
ponds upon the temperature-it is a
matter of warmth or cold entirely. A
warm car, or more commonly a hot car,
is the one desideratum, albeit the
warmth is the product of animal heat
from fifty bodies, many of them not very
clean, and of exhalation from fifty pair
of lungs, with little chance for the escape
of vitiated air or the ingress of pure air
