The latest crop reports fromsEurope

vices. The weather has changed for the
better and the people are more hopeful.

Gen. Grants letter to the Mexican
minister at Washington, expressing the
opinion that the United States could not

American affairs, is commended by the

a Faithful Shepherd Dog.
Colorado Letter.

One herder, whom we met at Cold
Spring ranch, showed us a very pretty
shepherd dog that he said he would not
sell for $500. She had at that time four
puppies. The night we arrived 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 exclaiming, the assistant herder
came to say there were more than twenty
sheep missing. Two male dogs, both
larger than the little mother, were stand
ing about with their hands in their
breeches pockets, doing nothing. But
the herder said neither Tom nor Dick
would find them. Flora must go. II was
urged by the assistants that her foot was
sore, she had been hard at work all day,
was nearly worn out, and must suckle
her puppies. The boss insisted that she

What n CAhhaRa Did.

Nothing is 80 readily collected, moi
even avoiding fee, as a crowd. The
smallest point is sufficient for idlers to
crystaize around. An amusing illustra-
ton OF this fact is reported by the san
Francisco Erening Post:
The other morning two gentlemen
were looking out of the window of a
house on Market street, when they saw q
cabbage roll off market wagon that
was passing.
Instantly more than a dozen we'll
dressed and apparently sane persons be-
gan yelling after the wagon as though
the vegetable had been gold watch, or
a thousand. dollar bill
The driver stopped about half square
off, looked back at the cabbage, yawned
and drove on.
"What an absurd fuss people in the
street. make over trivial occurrences"
said one of the gentlemen. Now I'll
bet silk hat that could get a crowd of
thirty minutes, and yet not leave this
room" .ss

pulling out his watch. Are you

at is now eleven-thirty. Co"
The proposer of the wager led his
friend to the window, threw up the sash,
and taking 4 cane pointed earnestly at
the Undiscovered cabbage with terrified
expression.
Presently a hack driver noticed the
action and began to stare at the vegetable
from the curbstone; then a bootblack
stopped: then bill-poster, messenger
boy and merchant.
What's the matter?" inquired Ger
man, approaching the innocent base of
his national dish.
Don't touch it! Look out therel
Stand backw shouted the gentleman at
the window.
Athis horror-stricken tones the crowd
fell back preciri iately and formed
dense circle around the innocent cab
bage. Hundreds came running up, and
the excitement increased rapidly.

the better waving his cane. Take that
dog away, quick"
Several stones we're thrown at a cur
that was shifting at the cabbage.
Take care" said car-driver to a
policeman, who was shouldering his way
through the mass. ''Its an internal
machine, nitro alycerine - or some-
thing"
Meanwhile the sidewalk was blocked,
the street became impossible. The two
gentlemen moved away from the window
and sat down. In a few moments there
was hurried tap at the door, and there
appeared man who had been sent as a
delegate from the mass-meeting out
side.
II should like to know, gentlemen"
he said what the facts are?"
"What facts?"
"Why, what there is peculiar about
that cabbage out there"
Nothing in the world" was the soft
reply, except that it seems to be sur
rounded by persons who ought to be in
better business"

A WOMAN In plSGuISE.
She Got Higher Wages When Dressed as "a
Man.
New York Special to Chicago Tribune.

New York Special TO Chicago Tribune.
A person who seemed TO be boy, but
who really was woman, was brought
into the Tombs Police Court to-day on the
charge of personating a male. After her
arrest her room was searched, and there
was found large number of letters from
young ladies residing in this and adjoin-
ing States, and couched in the most
ailectionate terms, evidently having been
written under the impression that the
prisoner was man. 1t appeared from
this correspondence that the real name
of the prisoner was Jennie +. Westbrook,
alias Sinclair, and that she had formerly
resided in the house of Miss II. Leasks
No. 81 Sands street. Brooklyn. But the
most startling feature of the case as sub
mitted by the detective was the appar-
ent ease with which the prisoner had up
to the present successfully concealed her
sex. For over fifteen months she had
filled the place of waiter III Ihomp-
sons restaurant in Essex Market, daily
exposed to the searching glances Of law
yers, gamblers and men of the world,
and still no one suspected her of being a
woman. Even the veteran detective,
Holly Lyons, and Mr.. William Heily,
the sporting men, who eat their meals
in the restaurant, attributed the sppar-
ent efIeminacy Of the waiter to consump-
tion, and never dreamed that the polite
young man who waited on them was a
woman in disguise. In Thompson's she
received Il salary of 50 week and her
board. Receiving an offer of higher
wages in Ridley's dry good store, she
worked there for two months, still passing
for man. From there she went into
the employ Of Mr.. Sidney Mounter, the
hassock manufacturer, Of White street,
and became his confidential clerk
and collector. Only yesterday after
noon she was in company with Mr..
Mounter in prominent saloon, and dis
cussed the Ryan and Sullivan prize fight
among crowd ofsportng men with the
greatest of sang froid, drinking ale and
smoking cigars until the party broke up.
She was committed to the Island, in de-
fault of bail, for six months Her only
explanation was that she dressed in
mans clothing because she could get bet
ter wages and employment than if she
dressed as q woman.

The Value of Local Papers.

Every honest rejecting mind knows
that the local newspaper adds much TO
the general wealth and prosperity of the
place, as well as increases the reputation
of the town abroad. 1t benefits all who
have business in the place, enhances
the value of property, besides being
public convenience, even if not conduct
ed in the interest of the ruling political
power. Its columns are not filled with
brilliant editorials, still it benefits you in
every way. It increases trade, it eau
tions against imposition, it saves you
from loss, it warns you of danger, il
points out different advantages and in
creases your profits. Now, fyou want
such paper you must support il by adj
vertising your business in it, assist in
increasing its circulation by getting your
neighbors TO subscribe with you for it.
II you want such paper, you must not
consider it an act of charity to support 1t,
but as a means to increase your own
wealth as well as that of the place in
which you live; therefore, support il by
advertising and subscribing and paying
for it.
