one OF their gang, cause he was a little light
waisted, and one OF the women was knocked
out OF time. But she was sickly and was
trained badly. She had no business in that
fight anyway. The fat man was good. and the

About Dogs.

To the Editor of the Press:
think the writer of the fragment entitled
"The Dog in the Bible which you copy in
your issue of February 18th, cannot be very
careful Bible reader or he would never have
made so direct misstatement of facts as he
does when he says "That the majority Of Gid.
cons raw recruits Tapped water 'as dog lap
peth' was reason enough for dismissing them
from conflict which was for all time to SYM
bolize the victory Of human civilization over
british barbarisni." Turn to Judges, 7th
chapter, and read the 5th, 9th, and 7th verses,
as follows, $50 he brought down tho people
unto the water; and the Lord said unto Gide-
on, Every one that lappeth of the water with
his tongue as dog lappeth, him shalt
thou set by himself; likewise every one that
hpweth down upon his knees TO drink. And
6e number of them that Tapped, putting their
hand to their mouth were 500 men; but all the
rest of the people bowed down upon their
knees to drink water. And the Lord said unto
Gideon, By the 800 men that Tapped will
save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy
hand; and let all the other people 20 every
man unto his place." So you see that he 300
that Tapped water. "as dog lappetn' were
really the only ones chosen for tais great
mission. DIR. A Clarke says that it was not un-
common for the ancients when unprovided with
vessels to take up water in their hands and lap
it thence like dog, and he further quotes
from Campbell, (speaking of the Hottentots,
who have similar custom.) "They do this
nearly as quickly as the dog and satisfy their
thirst in half the time taken by another man."
1t is true the dog was an unclean animal
among the Hebrews, yet suffered them
to be domesticated,. tho not eaten.
Yet the many packsof wild dogs which
roamed outside the city walls and were not on
ly ravenous but dangerous gave rise to many of
the Bible comparisons. Yet it could not have
been these that licked the sores of Lazarus,
else they would have bitten or devoured him,
and it is certainly distinctive feature of our
domestic dogs when good-natur tt Much might
be said on this subject, but lack Of time for
bids my following it farther at present.

Couldn't Feel at Home.

Stranger, have yer got some bitin' whisky,
suthin' that takes the innards right by the COL
lar, and makes man think he's brilin' fer an
ternut suit and a coon skin cap at a fashionable
Brooklyn bar yesterday.
''I think I've got what you want" said the
barkeeper. "Try this"
The stranger smelled it and shook his head
dolefully.
"Do We think that would make man dig up
his dead enemies and lick 'em over again?" he
asked. "Would slug of this pizen get fel-
low to induce his neither to murder his wife,
and then run for sheriff so as to hang the old
woman for the crime?"
'I don't know about that" said the bar
keeper, 'it's pretty strong fluid"
81 know. But is it strong enough to make
a man rob his daughter and then lick the day
light out of her for losin' her money? Wouldn't
it be what you would use if you wanted to salt
your wife down and deal her out in boarding
house for boned turkey, extra prime? Would
you drink it if you felt like burning down q
church full of children so as to get the nails
out of their boots? That's the kind Of liquor
want"
'Here's some terribly bad whisky, If that's
what you're after" said the barkeeper putting
out another bottle.
Again the stranger smelled and shook his
head sadly.
"Pm surprised at yer, barkeep. Yer don't
understand the finer feelin's. 1 want suthin'
that would make me rob the donation box Of
an orphan asylum. Suthin' that would make
me kick sick woman overheard, and pound
her with board afterwards. / want liqnor
that mades fellow bury his mother alive and
plough her under for fertilizer. Suthin' that
would make man set his children to stealin'
so he could give 'em away and get witness fees
for convictin' 'em- Have yer got anything of
that sort?"
"That's the worst I've got," said the hor-
rifed bar-keeper. "You can take it or leave
it,
"The fact is,' explained the stranger, as he
poured down half pint Of the material with
out shudder, ''the fact is that live in Dako-
ia, and was feelin' homesick. So thought
if could only geta taste Of the genuine old
stuff it would raise my spirits, But this isn't
the whisky / wanted. This makes me feel
like lendin' money, and It don't do me no good.
Good by, barkeep.'
And the homesck stranger turned mourn
fully away.

The Obelisk, set up in the Central Park,
New York, was turned over to the city on
the 22d of February. 1t was presented by
William NJ Evarts in a humorous speech.
Said Mr.. Evarts: ''My relations to this oc-
casion, and my services before you are Who'll
ly ceremonial. had no share in the origi-
nal erection Of the obelisk in Egypt, or in
any Of its movements since. And in the
other transactions relating to the obelsk,
which have been so creditable 10 us. my
share was hardly more than ceremonial.
The Masons laid the corner stone of the
foundation in Central Park, having found
most interesting monuments, as it is under
stood, in the base of the obelisk, showing
that free and accepted class of Masois ex-
listed in those days" Mr.. Evarts stated
that the ''obelisk had the faculty of staying
where it was put, and it had had the for
tune never to be out of good hands" The
expense Of the obelisk, amounting to about
100000, was borne by William H. Wander

A Plea For the Opera.

lEuudlo Edgle.J
"Well, sir" said Denver man, growing en-
thusiastic. "I'ye had heap of fun in this
town since have been here, but nothing has
warmed me up like the opera. Theatres is
all very well, but the shooting and cutting up
amt natural. They don't mean it. You can
see from the start it's all funny business; but
the opera now-there's where you get it!
There's trade from the time they haul the
goods down till they put up the shutters. 1t
reminds me of home, it does"
"What opera did you hear?' asked by
stander.
''The one they sing in, but you bet the mu-
sic didn't get any the best of the crowd, for
dust. l tell you, gentlemen, it was the pretti-
est fight you ever looked at. Exciting?
Well, just held myself down to bed rock and
watched that show to the finish. Once or
twice thought they'd down the actors, and
between the rounds, while the music was get
ting little breathed, L felt scared, but just as
soon as they scratched knowed the men and
women was ahead, and helped it all 1 could,
you bet'
Glow was it?'' asked one of the mystified
group. Tell us about it."
sit is just here, they had a lot of fiddles and
horns and drums, and squeakers on one side,
and gang of men and women on the other.
In the toss-up the actors got the rising ground,
and the music took the low level. The backer
of the music was there with stick, and, when
time was called he was quick enough to get a
start for his side. But one Of the women was
on to his racket, and she just turned loose
belch that twisted hair, now you hear me-
The music-backer got mad, and the fiddlers
broke out, but it was no use; the woman had
the wind, and she belted that slow music like
q mule. You bet she was good onel Then
the backer hollered at the boss drummer and
he took lick. That seemed to worry the
woman, for she spoke to fat fellow with a
wen on his leg, and he slid for the drummer,
while the dame took another whirl at the fd-
dlers. Fun? Well, strangers, you can smile
right out. The music-backer seen he was get
ting the worst of it, and so he unclaimed the
back fiddle. 1t wasn't fair, and was going to
address the referee, but just then out popped
