THE RESULT OF AN ITEM.-A day or two
ago these columns gave an account of
Pelon dog that chap left some six weeks ago
with certain citizen while he went to San
Franchises, and on tie strength of which the
chap borrowed the citizens SIS overccat, and
since which time neither chap nor overcoat
have been heard of. Now the Pelon, COM
monty called the hairless dog, is apt to be
taken for cast-iron dog, his hide is SO black
and is capable of such a stove-polish finish.
In form he resembles a watermelon, only he
has tail and legs, which the watermelon has
not. This very attractive dog became pet
with its enforced new owner. Ii was all Re
had to show for his winter overeoat, and he
determined to make the most of it.
He allowed it to sleep on a
oh nhofr his had onJ fba
little animal became general favor
tie in the family-onlY the people
of the household would call it the ulster
deg" to the annoyance of its new owner,
who declared the dog wasn't to blame for the
mean act of its old master. The other
morning the citizen rolled out of bed early,
as is his custom, to get the morning paper,
aud then rolled back into bed again to read it
and warm up his feet, to the discomfort of
his wife. the dog ran out with him to the
door, and frisked about as lively IS ever, and
returned with his master and curlsd up in the
chair again. To the astonishment of the
man, the first item that caught bis eye was
about the unlucky trade of the overcoat for
the comical dog. Still he couldn't help laugh
ing at himself until he wondered how on
earth the reporters got hold Of the story. He
nudged his wife to wake up and hear the item
read The good woman did so and listened
attentively. As the reading end=d she
glanced at the dog in the charlie was
stretched out dead. The reader could scarce
ly believe it; he sprang cut and caught up
the mite of hairless hide; sure enough he
was dsad-died, says the overcoatless man,
of pure shame, on hearing the news OF the
iugratitude of his old master. The dog stsry
historian is now ready for the next"

MALICIOUS MISCHIEF the old
wooden fence about the front section of tie
Capitol Park was removed to give place to
the foundations for the new stone and iron
fence. The old fence was removed to the
lines of the extension Of the Park at the rear
of the Capitol building. A part of it was
put up along l. street, and larger part was
the other day laid on the ground along n
street, preparatory to planting the pests for
It's support. Monday night some person, out
of wanton mischief, went along the entire
line of the fence so PROSTATE, aud with some
heavy implement broke and crushed from two
to four of the piekets in every panel. The
Capitol Commissioners are justly indignant
at this outrage, and conceive Of no reason
under the sun why any person should thus
destroy Sts,e property. The Commission
his barely money enough sc command TO put
up the fence, let alone reeonstruc.ing it.
