DOGS IN LITERATURE.

Macaulay's definition of dog as an
animal that only spoiled conversation is
quite characteristic of that eminent and,
withal, monopolizing talker, who would
most unreservedly have indorsed the par.
ody, Zone mans pet is another mans
nuisance" But Goethe's feelings had
passed the bounds of boredom; dogs were
an adherence to him their barking drove
him to distraction. Mr.. Lewes tells us OF
the poets troubles as theatrical manager at
Weimar, when the cabal against him had
craftily persuaded the Duke Carl August,
whose fondness for dogs was as remarkable
as Goethe's aversion to them, to invite to
his capital the comedian Karsten and his
poodle, which had been performing, amid
the enthusiastic acclamations of Paris and
Germany, the leading part in the melodrama
of g The Dog of Montargis." Goethe, being
apprised of this prospect, haughtily replied
Zone of our theater regulations stands,
No dogs admitted on the stage;'" and
thus dismissed the subject. But the invi-
tation had already gone, and the dog ar
rived. After the first rehearsal Goethe
gave his Highness the choice between the
dog and his Highness's then stage man.
ager; and the Duke, angry at his opposi.
tion, severed long friendship by most
offensive letter of dismissal. He quickly,
however, came to his senses, and, repent
ing of his unworthy petulance, wrote to
the poet in a most conciliatory tone !;
but, though the cloud passed away,
no entreaty could ever induce
Goethe to resume his post. Alfred
de Musset's dislike of dogs was intensi-
fed by unfortunate experience, for twice
in his life dog had gone near to
wreck his prospects; once, when, at
royal hunting party, he blunder-
ingly shot Louis Philippe's favorite point
er and again, when, as a candidate for
the Academy, he was paying the GUS
tomary visit of ceremony to an in
t1uential immortal. Just as he rang
at the chateau gate an ugly, muddy
whelp rushed joyously and noisily to
greet him, fawning upon the poets new and
dainty costume. Reluctant to draw any
distinction of courtesy, at such time, be-
tween the Academician and his dog, he
had no alternative but to accept the Shiny
caresses, and the escort of the animal into
the salon. The embarrassment of his host
he accounted for by the barely defensible
behavior of his pet, but when the dog,
having followed them into the dining. room,
placed two muddy paws upon the cloth
and seized the wing of cold chicken, De
Musset's suppressed wrath found relief in
the reserved suggestion: " You are fond
of dogs, l see" Fond of dogs p echoed
the Academician, II hate dogs" But
this animal here" ventured De Musset.
81 have borne with the beast, was the
reply, "only because it is yours" " Mine?'
cried the poet, Il thought it was yours,
which was all that prevented me from
killing him p The two men shouted with
laughter; De Musset gained friend but
the dog and his kind an enemy more bitter
than before. .-tTemple Bar.

A Hint 10 the Lean.

The cause of leanness, when there is no
positive disease which produces it. is an i'm
perfect assimilation of the food. The weight
of the body undoubtedly bears marked
relation to, and increases proportionately to
its height, when it is properly nourished with
fesh.making blood. Hence, when we see a
tall person with slab" sides and hollow
cheeks, we have right to infer that his blood
is thin and watsry, and bis constitution deli.
cate. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is pecu-
liarly serviceable to thin, delicate people,
since it strengthens the digestive and assimi-
lative organs, and is consequently powerful
auxiliary in the blood od-manufacturing pro-
cesses, which in a state of health ought to be,
and are, thoroughly performed. An increase
of muscle, as well as fat is result of using
this sovereign anti-dyspeptic, appetizing and
generally corrective cordial.

THE FRENCH DRAMA.

France, the country which is now more
prolific in dramatic authors than any other,
which now supplies the theaters of all
other countries with at least the ground
work and the substance of the greater
number of plays performed in them, and
which alone cultivates the art Of Roscius
to such degree as to produce a school of
highly trained actors, is the only civilized
country, Russia perhaps excepted-lt Rus
sia as country may be called civilized
which has no national drama. Among the
people who have produced Cornellle,
Racine, and the greater Moliere, Talma
and Rachel, the drama is an exotic
French tragedy is Greek French COM
edy, Spanish. Whatever is not Spanish
in French comedy is not dramatic, al
though it may be comic whatever Is not
Greek in French tragedy is neither tragic
nor dramatic Other civilized peoples,
notably the English, have drama which
is strongly marked with national traits,
which has been developed by the hands
of genius from rude, Indigenous germs, and
which, although modified externally in its
perfected strength, or in it's decay by the
influence of other schools, still retains its
national form and spirit. But France,
under the perncious influence OF it's Acad-
envy, and of that sucking Academy the
Hotel Rambouillet, cast aside as barbarous
the crude, chaotic plays of original and
elemental substance which she, like other
nations, once possessed, and which yet had
within them the germs of new and char
acteristic dramatic literature, and delib-
erately assumed the position of an imi-
tator. The French drama is not spon-
taneous growth it is an artificial manu-
facture. The Hotel Rambouillet and the
Academy said, "Go to let us make to
ourselves a drama. In comedy we will
form it upon the intrigue of the Spanish
stage; in tragedy we will emulate the
severe simplicity of the Greeks. 1t shall
be very correct and proper according to the
rules of art and CONVEYANCE, if not very
decent morally certain words shall be
allowed to the comic writers, and certain
others to the tragic, and it shall be literary
felony for either to use the Others lam
guage and let us beware that the unities
are rigidly observed" And they did SO !;
and thus it is that in the French drama
what is essential is foreign, and what is
national is adventitious. June Atlantic.

MEMORABLE EARTHQUAKES.

The most notable and disastrous earth.
quakes on record, it may be said, are those
OF Italy t526), when 100, 600 persons per.
ished, and of Sicily Q693), when 10000
lost their lives. According to Gibbon,
towards $40 each year was marked with
the repetition of earthquakes of such du-
ration that Constantinople was shaken
above forty days-of such extent that the
shock was communicated to the whole
surface OF the empire. At Antioch a
quarter of million persons are said to
have persisted. This period of earthquake
and PLACE (542.7) was the period when the
superior planets were in perihelion as they
are now. Arabian and Persian chronicles
record Ill earthquakes between the sew
enth and eighteenth centuries, some lasting
from forty to seventy days, and nearly all
accompanied by winds or foods, or terrible
storms of lightning and thunder. Readers
of the "Relations des Jesuites" will re.
member the great earthquakes of 1868,
which shook and tossed the earth for six
months from Gaspe to Montreal, the rival
of our own earthquake of 1911 in the
Mississippi Valley. The severest of the
earthquakes felt in this region was that of
November, 1855, an echo of the convul-
sion that tumbled down Lisbon-and saved
the Pomba Ministry, through the fact that
the Minister'S house was almost the only
one left uniDjured and his family one of
the few not bereaved of member. Helm
in his interesting opuscule on earthquakes,
estimates that on an average two EARTH
quakes day occur on the earth. In 1870,
though there was no severe single shock,
n k1xy
damaged in Italy, 9S persons killed. and
223 wounded. The same shock may last
for years instance that of viege, in the
Valais, which endured from July, 1856, to
1857. At Cabul 80 severe shocks have
been felt in one day; at Honduras, in
1856, l0S were counted in week, and at
Hawaii in 1868, 1000 shocks occurred in
one month. Helm, it may be said in con.

FHE SACRAMENTO WEEKLY UNION

Was established in 1851, and has been con-
tinuously published ever since. Unlike the
old-time weeklies, it is issued twice each
week in eight-page parts, making up weekly
issue of sixteen pages. The day of the old

ancient methods no longer meet the demands
of the age. The WEEKLY UNION, moving

lily journal, and enjoys larger and more
widely distributed circulation than any

torial department moves upon the highest
plane and in the front rank of advanced

position, scholarly finish and lueidity of idea,
its editorial department has no peer in the

Its agricultural department, specially pre-
pared for the paper, is edited from the stand
point of the highest intelligence, longest ex-
