The fact that even dogs are inclined
to intemperance is unknown to many
who hold them in high estimation, but
such is the fact, especially bull and spitz
dogs. Mr.. Sam Wyman, who keeps the
saloon on Ninth and Market, owns q
large bull dog who is a confirmed drunk
ard. He has gotten so addicted to drink
ing that he resorts to all sorts of means
to get beer, and sometimes shows
great cunning in getting drink of his
favorite beverage. The fact had become
generally known, and yesterday several
gentlemen determined to watch him.
Every morning Mr.. Wyman sets his emp
tied beer kegs out on the sidewalk for the
collector, and leaves the bung out, there
being always more or less beer in the
bottom of each key. As soon as the
kegs were set down and the proprietor
gone inside the saloon the dog APP
preached from his post of observation,
and after smelling the kegs with the
air of connoisseur, selected the one
which he seemed to think contained the
most beer, and putting one of his paws
against it, pushed the key over. He
then proceeded to push the key until it
got close to the edge of the curbstone;
and, turning the bung down. got out
into the street, and as the beer ran out
eagerly Tapped it up. This process was
repeated until every key had been
drained, and after licking the edges of
the kegs the dog trotted off, evidently
not having gotten enough. This pro-
cess the dog repeats every day, and
sometimes more beer is left in the kegs
for his benefit, and he gets beastly
drunk. Drinking, however, seems to
agree with him, as he is very fat and
strengthening.
This instance brings to mind another
case of dog in Indianapolis which was
very much addicted to drinking. The
dog was known as ''Old Jack" and
was considered member of the fire de-
partment, rs he always stayed at the
engine house, and went to every fire,
riding on the front of the engine. Next
to the engine house was a saloon, where
he used to get beer in the same manner
as the dog in tins city, and also used to
get drunk. About year ago he went
out one day, and there happened to be
more beer than usual in the kegs, and he
accordingly got drunk. While he was
drinking an alarm was turned in and the
engine passed him. He attempted to
Jump on the seat in front, but was too
drunk, and falling beneath the wheels,
was crushed to death. -LoutsUiHe Cou-

The Cholera Coming.

The Ganges and the Jumna, two Of
the greatest rivers in Asia, are each con-
sidered sacred by the Hindoos; but where
the two rivers unite is regarded as the
very holy of HOLES. This point is called
Allahabad. There is quite lake at this
point, and in the middle of it sandy
fork, which juts in between the two riv-
ers. 1t is to Allahabad the pilgrims come
from all points of Hindostan. They live
and sleep npon this sandbank, singing
hymns, offering up prayers and almost
worshiping the two sacred streams. The
sanitary conditions are of course fright
full; the land becomes foul, and the riv-
ers polluted, and it is on this filthy and
sacred spot that the cholera has started
in its periodical marches around the
world. AT last accounts the annual pill
grimmage was under way, and cholera
of violent type had made its. appear
ance. Cholera of late wears has not been
as fatal as of yore, ndenough is known
to enable the authorities TO check its
ravages if efficient means are taken. But
still it makes its appearance once in
about every seventeen years, and if it
again resumes its march around the
world we may expect it in the United
States in 1SS3.-De0lOreSt'S Monthly.

light small fire of chips in their boats,
to drive away, as they supposed, any
witches that might have harbored there
during the night to Illustrate their sue
cess. The customs prachced by tne
Scotch fishermen for obtaining good luck
are equally curious. Thus, in the BGnD
Journal of 1855, it is related that, in con-
sequence of the herring fishing being
very backward, some of the fishermen of
Buckle dressed a cooper in flannel shirt,
with burrs stuck all over it, and in this
condition he was carried in procession
through the town in handbarrow. This
was done to ''bring better luck'' to the
fishing, and happened in district, says
the writer, containing no less than nine
churches and chapels, of various denom-
nations, and thirteen schools" Certain
family names are considered unlucky,
and in some of the villages on the east
coast of Aberdeenshire it is still consid-
cred bad omen to meet person by the
name of Whyte when going to sea, as it
is thought that either the lines will be
lost or the catch of fish poor. In Buckle
there are some family names which the
fishermen will not pronounce, such, for
instance, as Cross and "Coull," and if
these Inflated names are mentioned in
their hearing they spit, or, to use the
vernacular expression, ''chiff" Men,
too, who have been hired before their
names were known have actually been
refused their wages at the close of the
fishing season, partly because the fishing
was unsuccessful with the boats in which
they sailed, and owing to the want of
success being ascribed to their presence
in the boat-LeisMre Hour.

When Mr.. Justice Gray, of Massa-
chusetts, recently went on the Supreme
bench, he had an idea he would do Just
as he pleased, but after trial he finally
had to yield, and is now as completely
in the power of his body servant as any
of the others. He not only was not al
lowed to select a man for himself, but
was forced to accept the services of a
fellow he does not like. t..g
They are death on customs; they live
on custom, and not one of the body
servants does athing different from what
he did years ago. AS a rule, the body
servants are past middle age. The
fathers and grandfathers of some of
them served in the same capacity, for
they never let new man into the ring.

Not That Kind OF a Doctor Shop.

Old Bill McGammon, who keeps a
grocery store in the suburbs of Austin is
one of the closest men in the State of
Texas, and abbreviates his words in
writing. He abbreviates the names on
the drawers and boxes of the contents, in
his grocery, instead of painting the
names in full. For instance, he painted
on the sugar barrel ' Br. Sugar" for
brown sugar, and so on.
Last Tuesday, feeble-looking stran-
ger dropped into Bill McGammon's store
and after looking around, asked;
Is Doctor Prunes inr'
Old McGammon stared, and said he
reckoned not.
"Is Doctor Goldfish in, them" asked
the stranger. .l.

emphatically. ...

like to see him, if he is at leisure"

getting red in the face. '..''
''If this is grocery, then you had
better carry back them doctors signs to
where you stole them FROM responded
the stranger strolling out
Old McGammon looked where the
stranger had pointed, and for the first
time noticed the result of his abbrevia-
ting the word So Dried into "Dr," for

How Note Of Henry Clay was Paid.

Mr.. John Wentworth in recent lee
ture on Henry Clay told the following
story: Mr.. Clay had a large and ex-
pensive family, and he keenly felt his
poverty, while he lost no opportunity of
expressing his gratitude to friends,
known and unknown, for all kinds of
favors. The day upon which Mr.. Web
ster made his celebrated speech, in
March, 1850, he was highly eulogizing it
at dinner when some one asked him if he
did not think Mr.. Webster's influence
had been greatly impaired by his allowing
certain wealthy men in Massachusetts to
settle an annuity upon him for abandon
ing his practice in the courts so as to de-
vote more time to public affairs. Mr.
Clay responded: g In view of the man
ner in which my note was paid at a
bank in Kentucky, l do not think ought
to speak upon that subject. With diff
Guilty had raised the money to pay the
interest when | went to the bank to ask
a renewal. The cashier told me | had

become of it, and he, said he was in.
structed to answer no questions. And
never have | been able to find out who
paid it; but" turning to Judge Conrad,
of New Orleans, he said, Judge, | al
ways supposed you had something to do
with that Natter To which he re-
sponded: Whether | or any one else
had anything to do with the matter you
will never know" Mr.. Clay then said:
In view ofmy many opponents, am as
thankful for the secrecy as the money;
but, when am free from public life,
am going to insist upon knowing who
were such benefactors." When some one
said: " Mr.. Clay, your friends will never
let you be free from public life" "In
that view, gentleman said he, "bear
witness to my inexpressible gratitude to
my friends, not only for their favor, but
for their manner of bestowing it, adding
that there was but one unpleasant thing
about it-that it was the only present
that he had ever received that he could
not divide with his friends. Here Judge
Conrad observed, " That need not trou-

proceeds before you gave the note. "

The Superstitions of Fishermen.

VI the numerous other practices in
use among the fishing fraternity for Sc
curing good luck, we are told that on the
highest mound of the hill above Weston
super-Mare is heap of stones, to which
every fisherman in his daily walk to
Sand Bay, Kewstoke, contributed one
toward his days good fishing. A curious
custom was, in years gone by, observed
at Filey in connection with the herring
fishery. During the time the fishing
boats were at sea the junior portion Of
the inhabitants seized all the unem-
ployed wagons and carts they could find
and dragged them down the streets to
the cliffs top, leaving them to be owned
and taken away by their respective
owners on the following morning. This
was done about the third Saturday night
after the boats had sailed from Filey,
under a superstitious notion that it drove
the herrings into the nets. In Corn
wall it is considered unlucky by fisher
men for any one to eat pilchards- in
deed, any kind of fish-from the head
downward, as such an act is said to be
E'sure to turn the heads of the fish away
from the coasts" The proper way is
rather to eat the fish from the tail to-
ward the head. this serving as kind of
charm to insure good luck to the fisher
man and bring him large quantities of
fish to shore. Again, when there is
large catch of pilchards, they are pre-
served by being rubbed with salt and
are placed in regular order, one on the
other, heads and tails alternately. When
so placed, the fish often make squeak
ing noise, which is locally called "cry-
ing for more" and is regarded as most
favorable omen, being supposed to indi-
cate that more fish may soon be expected
to be brought to the same cellar. The
noise, however. which is heard is really
produced, says Mr.. Hunt, by the burst
ing of the air bladders. and when many
break together-which is not unusual
when hundreds of thousands are piled in
a mass-the sound is loud one. 20.
Among some of the sIperstitious no
tons relating to success In fishing which
formerly prevailed in Ireland, and have
not yet quite died out, we may mention
the following, current in Ulster; To
meet certain persons in the morning,
and especially barefooted women, was
deemed an omen of ill-fortune for that
day. To name dog, cat, rat or pig,
while batting the hooks, also foreboded
ill-luck. The fishermen always spatl on
the first and last hook baited, and also
in the mouth of the first fish taken. Be.
fore casting their nets or lines they
dipped them in the water three times,
and each time gave kind of chirp with
the lips, resembling that of a young bird
The fishermen, too, were accustomed t.
