MIN LITTLE snsinsRD DOC.

Tho best Of these dogs are worth 5000
or even more. One herder, whom we
met at Cold Spring ranch, showed us q
very pretty one that he said he would
not sell for $500. She had at that time
four young puppies. The night we AZ
rived we visited his camp, and were
greatly interested in the little mother
and her nursing babies. Amid those
wild, vast mountains, this little nest Of
motherly devotion and baby trust was
very beautiful.
While we were exclalming, the assist
ant herder came to say that there were
more than twenty sheep missing. Two
male dogs, both larger than the little
mother, were standing about with their
hands in their brooches, doing nothing.
But the herder said neither Tom nor
Dick would find them. Flora must go.
1t was urged by the assistant that her
foot was sore, she had been hard Mt
work all day, was nearly worn out, and
must suckle her puppies. The boss in
sisted that she must go. The sun was
setting. There was no time to lose.
Flora was called, and told to hunt for
lost sheep, while her master pointed to
great forest, through the edge of
which they had passed ON their way up.
She raised her head, but seemed very
10th to leave her babies. The boss called
sharply to her. She rose, looking tired
and low-spirited, with head and tail
down, and trotted YEARLY off toward the
forest. 1 said:
"This is too bad"
"Oh, she'll be right back. She's
lightning on stray sheep"
The next morning I went over to
learn whether Flora had found the
strays. While we were speaking the
sheep were returning, driven by little
dog, who did not raise her head nor wag
her tail, even when spoken to, but
crawled to her puppies and lay down by
them, Offering the little empty breasts.
She had been out all night, and, while
her hungry babies were tugging away,
fell asleep. l have never seen anything
30 touching So far as I was concerned,
"there was not dry eye in the house. +"
How often that scene comes back to
me-the vast, gloomy forest, and that
little creature, with the sore foot and
her heart crying for her babies, limpins
and creeping about in the wild caverns
and through the long, dark hours, Aud
ing and gathering in the lost sheepi
wonder il any preacher Of the gospel
ever searched for lost sheep under cir
cumstances SO hard and with such pain.

expect too much from men. 1t il the
dog that stands for fidelity and sacrifice.

rHR CITY OF HRIHCo.

Mexico is . serious and by no means
. gay city. There are no crowds upon
tho sidewalks, no eating Of ices in pub
lie, no cafes chdntdnts, nothing Pari-
sian. BY 9 or 10 o'clock the good peo-
pie appear to have retired already, to be
mp betimes in the morning for the work
OF the day. Amilitary band plays three
evenings in the week, but even this,
eIcep, on Sundays, is so sparsely at
tended that the men seem to be discours-
ing their music for their own amuse-
ment Policemen are found stationed
ut short intervals in the quiet streets,
with their lanterns set in the middle OF
the roadway. They are obliged by the
regulations to signal their whereabouts
every quarter Of an hour, and the sound
OF their whistles, which have shrill,
doleful note, like November wind, may
be heard repeated from one to the other
ell the night through.
As the place does not expect tour lists,
there are almost none OF the appurten-
snces for their enlightenment TO be met
with elsewhere. While this may have
it's annoyancee, il the demands of an
ardent curiosity remain too long unan-
swered, the freedom from responsibility
to Baedeker or q Murray has advant-
ages of its own. The visitor with an
eye for the picturesque dips into deli
cious feast of novelties, makes discover
ies on every hand, and may have the
pleasure OF testing the value of his own
unaided conclusions. By daylight, with
its bright colors upon it, and its normal
stir Of life, the famous remote capital is
very different place. By little and
little the misapprehensions Of the night
are shaken oh. From the first moment
Of disappointment We like it always
more instead Of less.
Figures go by whose blankets one
burns to takefrom themtor portiores. The
men Of the poorer sort wear or carry
universally the serape-a blanket with q
slit in the center for the insertion Of the
head. Apart from its artistic patterns,
it il useful garment in many emergen-
cies. 1t is not the most improbable
thing in the world that, in the course Of
the Mexican revival, We may yet see il
introduced in tho States, and running
the course Of popularity Of the ulster.

Al the ends Of all OF them, in what

THE WILMINGTON MONUMENT.

splendid elevator, which cost about
10000, and is the highest in the world,
carried us up. The elevator at the top
supports on its four corner tubes the
four cranes which lay the stone, il me-
cessary, on the four sides at once. A
little railroad brings in the great blocks
of stone, weighing from two to six tons
apiece, and places them ON the elevator,
with low car beneath the stone. The
elevator is open, and 1 had to sit down
and hug the stone to avoid dizziness
and the terrible tumble down the stone
shaft The elevator ascends very DELHI
erately and smoothly, and will carry ten
tons. As the monument is built up

time.
