The Great Tenor.

Campanina, while still lad, served
in Garibaldi's Army Of Liberation,
and was wounded in the face during
battle. From the heroic to the prac-
teal was but step. Leaving the
army he apprenticed to blacksmith,
and the hard work at the forge de-
velopsd that robust health which to-
day enables him to bid defiance, in his
chosen profession, to horsensss and
ovsrsxertion. After some study, and
two years of service with travelling
opera company, he made his debut az
Faust at La Scala, and three years af-
ter came to America with Strakosch
in the Nillson company. During that
he appeared in the title
role of Lohengrin, with Nlllson Is
Elsa. On this memorable occasion
there was but a burst of enthusiasm
on the part of the public unparalleled,
except in the case Of Psrepa, since the
days of JennyLind, and equalled only
by the success of. Gerster in after
years.
Nature endowed Campanina with
strong, even and sympathetic voice,
and art has enabled him to greatly in
crease its compass, while imparting
fexibility and brillianey throughout

good vocalism is worth all the time
and labor it takes to acquire, for with
out it no voice could have borne the
strain to which his has been subjected.
In one season he sang in opera hum
dred times, took part in numberless
rehearsals, besides singing in the Sta
bat Aater seven times, and assisting
at number Of concerts in Boston,
New York and Cincinnati. His act
ing is nearly IS good as his singing,
and the poorest singer in the cast feels
his magnetic influence. But not only
as an artist is he snviable; his genial,
manly character has won him hosts of
friends, who loves the man as much
as they admire the singer.-FREDER-

a Good Dog Story.

A correspondent of the Spectator
writes that this story of a dogs sagac-
lty may be relied upon as true: Du-
ring the mssting Of the British Asso-
cation at Glasgow, friend of mine
had occasion to go one day from that
place to Geenock on business. Hear
ing on his arrival, that the person he
wished to see was out, but expected
shortly to return home, he determined
to take stroll about the town, to
which he was stranger. In the
course OF. hi, walk he turned into
bakers shop and bought bun. AS
he stood at the door Of the shop eat
ing his bun large dog came up to
HIM and begged f,r share, which he
got and seemed to enjoy, coming back
Tor piece after piece. ''Does the dog
belong to you::' my friend asked of
the shop woman. No. she answered,
but he spends most of his time here.
and begs half pennies from the peo-
pie who pass. 'Half-psnnies! What
good can they do him?' 'Oh, he
knows very well what to do with
them; he comes into the shop and
buys cakes
This seemed rather a remarkable
instance of c!eyerness even for the
cleverest of animals ; so by way of test
ing It's reality, my friend went out of
the shop into the street, where he was
Immediately accosted by the dog, who
begged for something with all the elo-
quence of which he is capable. He
offered him half-penny and was
rather surprised to see him accept it
readily and walk with the air of reg
alar customer into the shop, where he
put his fore-paws on the counter and
held his money fast. 'Ah,' said she,
i know what he wants, and took down
from the shelf a plate of short-bread.
The dog paid his half-penny, took hi.
shot bread and a'e it with decorus
satisfaction. When he had quite fin
lshed he lsft the shop, and my friend
much amused, followed him, and
when he again begged, found another
halfpenny for him, and saw the whole
process gone through a second time.
The dog clearly had learned by
some means the use Of money, and not
merely that it would buy something
to eat, but it would buy several things,
among which he could exercise 4
right of choice. What is perhaps
NEST remarkable is that his proceed
ings were entirely independent, and

The Sioux are very superstitious,
are controlled by their legends in
whatever they do and never embark
IN an undertaking without first having
the assurance that they are in the
right, IN their way they are very re-
llgious people, cherishing the greatest
respect for the rights, both of prop.
erty and person, of every member Of
the tribe. The chastity Of their wo-
men is also noteworthy, and even their
mode OF warfare is in accordance with
the teaching of the Great Spirit.
True, they are often accused of great
atrocities, but, if history was searched,
1t would be found that members of
the tribe had suffered similar torture
aud death at the hands of whites, the
circumstances Of which had been re-
membersd and retaliated at the first
opportunity. The Indian has the ut
most reverence for the 'NGreat Spirit"
hut no belief in the existence of an
evil one. They use no profanity, nor
anything corresponding to white
man S oath. Their ideas of the here
after are vague, but impressive never
theless.
They believe that every act and sp-
isode of life below will be repeated in
the ''happy hunting grounds" even
to the mlnuetest details, hence the
burial of implements of war and toll
with every deceased.
| Probably one of the noblest actions
in Indian history was the rescue, in
1862, of eight persons-two women
and six children-from the Santse
camp, at the mouth Of Grand river, by
Four Beers. The captives were
adopted into the tribe, and one Julia
Wright. forced to marry son of
B ack Hawk, then a prominent chief.
Four Bears procured their liberation
partly through purchase giving four
horses), and partly by strategy, and,
after>passing through many perls, re-
turned them to their homes. For this
noble act Four Bears was promised
remuneration 10y Congress; but the
promise has never been fulfilled. Du-
ring his recent trip to Washington he
brought the matter before (then) Sec
retary Schurz, wher assurance was
again given that the reward would
soon be forthcoming.
The relation existing in members
of a family are very peculiar. For in
stance brothers and sisters do not fra
ternize- are very scarcely
recognizing each other. Mothersin-
law are also ostracised Immediately
upon the marriage of their children.
Marriage is nothing more than pur-
chase and sale, negotiaed by the near
est friend of both parties, but the re-
latiCns assumed are considered sacred,
and are seldom violated.

were now to tilt against each other
and the victor was to be the winner
of the prize.
I The Lady Mabel groaned audibly.
/ Her fate would now soon be decided.
She would have felt little interest in
the success of either knight. for both
were equally distasteful to her, but for
th wishes of all around her, which
were londly expressed in favor Of the
young Earl of Salisbury, known every
where as "a courteous knight. The
other competitor was Il stranger from
Normandy, where he held a small fief
If there could be any chance between
the two, the Lady Mabel felt that her
preference would be for her own coun-
trymau, What, then was her horror
when she saw the gentle but gallant
earl hurled from his saddle like "a
sling from "a bow, while the Norman
adventurer gsllopsd triumphantly
round the lists.
"By st. George" exclaimed the
monarch, in whisper, Il would give
fat manor that the Earl had con
quered but We mast keep our kingly
word. Let the herald proclaim the
victor's name and titles, and bring
him forward, for an unpleasant duty
cannot be too soon discharged :
The voice accordingly was led for
ward, but the Lady Mabel's agitation
was so great that she could not, as
custom required, unlace the helmet
of her knight. One of the handmad
ems, however, did this for her. Then
the herald, in loud voice, proclaim:
ell the victor.

he exclaimed, Il declare the victor of
this davs tourney TO be Sir Roland
Fitzclarencc commonly known as Sir
Roland Rousn, from his knights fee
in Normandy"
Now, bv nv ancestors exclaimed
the monarch, starting forward at these
worda, .'iustead Of nameless country
knight, here is warrior worthy of =
princess. Sir Roland Fitzclarcuce,
Welcome. welcome home. But, no
there. aid for the Lady Mabel, she
has tainted. she is diving"
The Lady Mabel had indeed sunk
senseless. When the helmet of the
victor had been unlaced. she had re-
fused to look upon his face, until the
herald mentioned the name of one
she thought no more. Then, with u
quick cry, she gazel down on the
tueeIiag knight, pushing the hair
eagerly from his temples, and
scrutinizing every lineament Of that
deeply embrowned, but still familiar
face.
ROLAND - Roland - she exclaimed,
You live. you live. and sunk sense
less.
Sorrow sometimes kills; ;oy never.
In less than All hour the Lady Mabel
had sufficiently revived to admit her
lover, now her betrothed husband, to
ssr side. Rv~ad .2sen sxf++-,-s--4.-

BUFFALO BILLO

William +. Cody was poor and
unknown scout aon the plains few
years ago. A ten-csnt novel glorified
him as Buffalo Bill; he went on the
stage as a personator of himself in
border plays, and part of the financial
result is visable in new block Of fine
buildings, including public hall, at
North Platte, Nebraska. An excellent
actor, he is one the handsomest men
on the stage, and the true type of an
scout.

Her name is Amabel, call her May,
And sometimes Mabel.
She's like princess in u fairy tale
Or poem oldsn;
With odd attractive eyes, and wavy hair,
That's almost golden.
Her hands are delicate, and small, and white
And very skilIful
She ssometines reasonable, somsstmss kind
But oftener wilful
She plays like ST Cecilia, when she likes,
But shes capricious;
To hear her sing the jewel song from Fausti
Is most delicious.

HOW IL occurred.

In yesterdays News appeared a brief
mention of horse having his back broken
by collision with street car and dying
soon after. The owner of the horse, Chas.
Snyder, gives the following account of the
accident He states that he stopped at the
store of John Roch to procure some feed,
and while attending to this business some
malicious rascal cut the bride of his horse.
The animal, becoming frightened, ran rap
idly down to the corner OF Jefferson and Gas
ton streets, where he came In collision with
butcher wagon, capsizng r., scat

surgeons were summoned to examine the
injured animal, and, after consultation,
they recommended that he be knocked In

live, and this summary mode of relieving the
poor beast of his pain was adopted

Serious Damage on the Louisville
and Other Roads.

We learn that for come days past there
has been an extensive confsgration in pro-
gress along the line Of the Louisville road,
about four miles from the city, and that
the small trees, strawberries and fences
around the plantations in that locality have
been destroyed. The fire, which is still
burning, has extended about seven miles
since it commenced, and considerable dam
age has been done. The supposition is that
1t was started by some worthless vagobonds
who infest that locality. Fires have also be en-
burning on the south side of tte canal, near
the Dean Forest and the Roberts plantation
and we are informed that so great was the
danger to the buildings on the plantation
from the fierce flames, that the hands on the
respective plantations had to be called from
their work to extinguish the fire and save
valuable property.
Fires are reported on other roads, but we
are without definite information in regard
10 them. II the parties who start these fires
are caught they should be severely dealt

The dreadful suffering OF a man with
Cholera Morbus was painfully illustrated in
New York few days ago, when an indi-
vidual from the rural districts, who had
been filling himself with all sorts of good
but undigestible things, was struck down on
Broadway and had to be carried into hotel,
where two doctors worked with him for an
hour before he was out of danger. A tea
spoonful or two of Perry Davis Pain Killer,
and a flannel cloth saturated with the medi
cine and applied to his stomach, would have
relieved him almost instantly .-AdV.

Early yesterday morning cOuntTyman
arrived at the market with a number Of
bunches Of very fine fish in his wagon, and
concluded to wait until market hours be
fore offering his finny stock for sale. Be
tween four and five o'clock several parties
expressed a desire to take the entire lot,
but the countryman, believing he would get
more for the FISH by the bunch, declined to
sell. He sat down in front of his wagon to
wait for retail customers, and being
rather fatigued frem his nights
travel, was overcome with drowsiness
and fell into a sound slumber. After
awhile he was aroused by some noise, and
glanced around, but discovered no one. He
concluded, however, before taking another
nap, to examine his wagon, and he was
then Mortified to discover that his fine fish
had disappeared. Some OF the many thieves
who are roaming about, took advantage Of
his sleep to make raid upon bis wagon,
and got of successfully with the contents.
