The Smuggling Dog.

The public authorities in France,
having made strenuous endeavors to
abate smuggling between the frontiers
of Belgium and that kingdom, discov-
cred that they had only transferred the
practice from men to dogs, who were
trained to carry lace, and other small
articles, securely packed, across fields
and rivers, where whole army of
custom house and other officers were
inadequate to arrest them. One man
engaged in this business trained an
active and sagaciOus spaniel to aid him
in his enterprise. He caused him to
he shaved, and procured for him the
skin of another dog, of the same hair
and same shape. He then rolled the
lace around the body of the dog, and put
over it the other skin so adrOitly that
the trick could not easily be discover
ed The lace being thus arranged, the
smuggler would say to the dOcile mes
senger, "Homeward, my friend" AT
these words the dog would start, and
pass boldly through the gates of Ma
lines and Valenciennes, in face of the
vigilant officers placed there to prevent
smuggling. Having thus passed the
bounds, he would await his master
at little distance in the open country.
Here they mutually caressed and feast
ed, and the merchant placed his rich
package in place of safety, renewing
his occupation as occasion offered
Such was his success, that in less than
five years he amassed handsome
fortune.
He was, however, at length betrayed,
| and Notwithstanding all his efforts tO
disguise the dog, he was watched and
discovered. But the cunning of the
dog was equal to the emergency.
Were spies watching for him at one
gate, he saw them, and made for an
other were all the gates shut, he some
times leaped over the walls at others
passing them secretly behind a car.
riage, or running between the legs o.
travellers, he thus would accomplish
his end. One day, however, while
swimming a stream near Malines, ht
was shot, and died in the water. There
was then about him five thousand
crowns worth of lace, the loss of whiel
did not affiict his master but he wa
inconsOlable for the loss of his dog

At birth the babe undergoes an or
deal that, were he conscious, would be
more trying than the most painful
death !; yet he feels it not. Born in an
unconscious state, the brain incapable
of receiving conscious impressions, his
entrance into this hitherto unknown
world is accomplished during a state
of oblivion, known as natures an
9sthesia
''Painlessly come whence we know not
Painlessy go, whittier we know not y
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered as
necessarily accompanied by pain so
general is this belief, that the terms
"death-agony,n ''last struggle" 'pangs
of DEATH" etc, have been in almost
universal use in every age and under
all conditions of society.
Nothing could he more erroneous ;
the truth is, pain and death seldom go
together-we mean the last moments
of life OF course, death may be pre-
ceded by weeks or even months of
extreme suffering, as occurs during
certain incurable diseases. - Popular

GleaningS.

A New York fiat of six not very com
mOdious rooms, two of which are dark
rents for $4,000. The cost of the build
ing with the land is set at $3.50, 900 and
it is rented to 81 families, paying ag-
gregate rent to the amount of S92, 400.
But the building stands on Broadway
the elevator is lined with blue satin,
and the elevator boy speaks French
and Italian.
The little hamlet of Bad Axe, which
was nearly destroyed in the Michigan
forest fires, is so far resuscitated as to
have violent church building fever.
The Baptists and Presbyterians each
want to put up one building, the Meth
odists two, the Episcopalians another,
and all are asking for outside help.
And this in the face of the fact that one
fair sized church would hold every
man, woman and child in the village.
A congress of experts at ST. Peters
burg charged with the task of inquir-
ing into the evils caused by excessive
drinking in Russia have resolved by
an overwhelming majority to advise a
diminution in the number of licensed
liquor houses. They also favor the
regulation of such places by the Local
authorities. The drinking habits OF
the Russians have reached such a pitch
that more than one-third of the whole
public revenue in 1880 was derived
from the tax on spirits.

How il Paid.

Some papers are not of much account
as to appearance, but never took one
that did not pay me, i'll some way,
more than | paid for it. One time an
old friend started a little paper away
down in southwestern Georgia and
sent it to me, and | subscribed just to
encourage him, and after awhile it pub
lished notice that an administrator
had an order to sell several lots ut pub
lie Outcry, and one of the lots was in
my county. SO | inquired about the
lot, and wrote to my friend to attend
the sale and run it up to fifty dollars.
He did so, and bid me off the lot foI
thirty dollars and sold it, in namonth,
to a man it joined for IA hundred, so
made xty-eight dollars clear by tax
ing that paper. My father told me that
when he was a young man he saw i
notice in a paper that a school teacher
was wanted away off in a distant coun-
ty. and he went there and got the sit
uation, and little girl was sent t.
him, and after awhile she grew VI
mighty sweet and pretty, and he fel
in love with her and married her-nOw
if he hadn't taken that paper, what dc
you reckon would have become of me
Wouldn't | have been some other fel
low, or maybe not at all p Elk.

A BarbarOus Monarch.

The king of Dahomey has just end
ed one of his annual raids, and has re-
turned to his capital laden with spOils
and prisoners. There are few African
pOtentates whose misdeeds have con
tinued in such an unbroken line as
those of these Dahomean kings. The
earliest records we have of Central
Africa are filed with accounts of their
dOings. They seemed to have been
specially marked, even among the bar
barous Africans, for their extreme cru
city, feature all the more singular
when one remembers that the Daho-
mean army is largely made up of wo-
men. According to this latest account,
the King, in preparation for the regu-
lar religious festival, at which large
number of human beings are sacrificed
on the altar of the national god, made
an attack on the towns of the Abeokuta
country, a district situated to the
northwest of his capital, and killed
and captured several thousand persons.
The latter he brought home, and those
not needed for the sacrifices have been
held as slaves. In this bloody work
the women are said to have been the
chief actors. Whatever their prowess
as warriors may be, it is certain that
they are much more feared by the enc
my than the male soldiers of the King.
This sounds strange, but it leads to
the reflection that possibly the sphere
of wOman's duty may have been undu-
ly circumscribed outside of DahOmey
Valor in the field has always been,
among savage nations, the distinguish
ing mark of superiority, and it is from
this far-away basis that mans supre-
macy dates. A civilization which de-
velOped itself on the DahOmean notion
of the standing of the sexes would
certainly put women in very differ
ent position from the one she now oc-
cupies in the civilized and semi-civi-
ized world.

Remarkable if True.

Two singular cases, involving the ac-
ton of superhuman agencies or the re-
suit of com binatiOn of circumstances,
have been reported to the Chicago
Times correspondent at Little Rock,
Ark, and are vouched for by one of the
most reputable ministers in Crittenden
county. Robt. Nelson, aged 20, has
been terribly exercised over the long
continued drouth, and one day last
week became very angry and began
cursing the Lord for permitting such
an infiiction. While thus engaged he
suddenly fell backward on the ground,
having been stricken with paralysis.
He has not spoken since, and it is not
likely he ever will. While this scene
was i'll progress a similar event was
transpiring in Union county. Three
young men were sitting on their horses
in the road discussing the probabilities
of rain from IA cloud which just then
was rising in the west. The youngest
of the group, named John Freeman, re-
ferred to the drOuth and remarked that
God who would allow his people to
suffer thus couldn't amount to much.
AS he was speaking the boys were en-
circled by lightning and the speaker
stunned severely, though his cOmpan-
ions were unscathed. Recovering, he
renewed the subject, bitterly reviling
the Supreme Power. Instantly bolt
of lightning flashed from the cloud
overhead, and the young man fell dead
in his tracks. Nearly every bone IN
his body was smashed into jelly, while
his boots were torn from his feet and
the clothing from his lower extremities,
The body presented horrible appear
ance, being a blackened and mangled
mass of humanity. His companions
were stunned and thrown on the
ground, but not seriously injured. The
funeral of the unfortunate young man
occurred the next day and attracted a
large crowd, the larger portion of whom
were drawn thither by the rumor o1
the strange events preceding the deatl
of the deceased. When the body wa.
deposited IN the grave and the loose
earth had been thrown in until the ap-
erture was filled, and while the friends
of the dead man yet fingered in the
cemetery, bolt of lightning descended
from cloud directly over the buria
place and struck the grave, throwing
the dirt as if plOw had passed length
wise through it. No one was injured
but those present scattered, almost par
alyzed with terror. The incident il
exciting a great deal of attention, min
listers and religious people general!
holding that the young man was tn,
victim of the wrath of an offended God
while others assert that both the case
referred to were simply wonderful co
incidences, having no connection witt
causes either physical or supernatural
