nip and tuck for time. The gander,
to those on shore who were watching,
seemed frightened, and at times would
act as though saying his prayers and
asking for mercy, and then he would
getsmad and try and fly ashore, when
the pickerel would pull him back. They
say it was a fine study to watch the ex-
preston of the features of the gander.-
He seemed to realize that change was
about to come over him, and while he
hoped for the best, he seemed TO be pre-
pared for the worst. After half an hour
of the hardest work he had ever done,
the gander came ashore and dragged
six-pound pickerel up the bank, and the
boys came and took off the pickerel and
put on another frog, and tried to induce
the ganderto 90 and take another swim,
but he wouldnt have it. They couldn't
drive him in. He looked at them, as he
ran through between their legs as though
saying, "Boys, this may be fun for you,
but you have crushed a noble nature
Not any more pickerel in mine, if you
please and he flew off toward the barn
squawking as though his heart would
break. This was several weeks ago, but
since the gander has never gone into
the water

The Train-Rohha,.

One of-the six men who lately stopped
o train in Arkansas and robbed the
three hundred passengers, was young
kentuckian not yet of age He was
engaged to be married to respectable
young girl in his old home; was a Wis
ionary fellow, but had not then been
guilty of crime He had resolved to
make enough by this exploit to start him
in business. Then he intended to marry
and settle down to yirtuous life.
With the rest of the gang he was tried
and sentenced to imprisonment for sew
enty years. When he was. taken back
to jail. after hearing his terrible sent
ence, he sunk into dull despair. Soon
after this he became delirious, raved OF
his mother and the disgrace he had
brought upon her, and then began to
repeat scene after scene of trashy, in
flammatory novels which he had read.
His mind seemed to be saturated with
unclean romance that it had absorbed
from these books. Before the week was
over he died. The physicians could
find no physical ailrnent. He died, lit
orally, of despair.
No doubt he has by this time been Sc
leeted as the hero of some novel of the
same class that ruined his life The
man who, when he wants to marry the
girl he loves, goes quietly and respecta-
bly, to work to earn the money to sup
port her, is not the kind of man to be
selected as q hero by the authors of
these debasing romances.
Alfred Tennyson lately lent the force
OF his great genius to set forth the NOR
bid yearnings and arguments which
drove husband and wife together to
commit suicide, as the best use they
could make of their lives
Some shrewd critic remarks that if
the man had taken to his shop, or his
tolls, and the woman had made bread
and attended properly TO her children,
instead OF counselling the Almighty as
to the government of the universe, both
of them would have remained alive.
Even the highest class of our novels
and poems in late years have been de-
voted too much to the morbid analysis
OF evil passions, and the portrayal of
dramatic scenes of crime

A PluekY Girl.

A bear about the size of common
Newfoundland dog was Killed in Gordon
Valley, California, recently, by Miss
Matte Raney, daughter of A. j. Raney
of that place, under the following cir
cumstances: 1t seems that pack of Mr..
Raney's dogs had been running the bear
for a long time, and both pursued and
pursuers were pretty well worn out.
The barking of the hounds had been
heard at Mr., Raney's house, but no at
tention was paid to it until, with a shout
of alarm, one of the hired men aband-
oned q team he was driving and came
running into the house exclaiming '.that
a bear was in the inclooure in front "
All were alarmed, Miss Matte ran to
the rack, grasped shot-9 and started
from the house. In the meantime the
dogs had chased the animal out of the
yard and into grain field adjoining.
Animated by the excitement of the chase
the young lady followed the fleeing bear
and dogs. The bear reached cover in q
creek hard by, but was hunted out by
the hounds, and at rapid gait retraced
his steps in the direction of the fair
huntress. She stood her ground firmly,
and, as bruin passed, she fired, the shot
striking the animal IN the neck and
shoulders, telling the brute to the ground.
He attempted to rise and the other bar
rel was ernptied into his body, thus eff
feetually quoting him. The younglady
justly feels proud over her achievement.

A Mans Horse.

In the country horses enjoy consider
able distinction. A genuine country
man or woman never says, ''Who is
t1at?" or s'Who is hep" but ''Whose
horse is thatP' or ''Do you know that
horse?' They look horse out of coun-
tenance to get at the man that sits be-
hind it. And as for the wonderful horse
stories current in country life! The
knowingness of the horse is every day
impressed upon one. The memory ct
horses, as shown in the way they invar
iably turn to the places where once they
may have stopped, in the inclination OF
two ways home of always choosing the
shorter, the regularity of their habits,
the decided taste they evince for people
or things-all these prove how very lit.
tie lower than man is the horse. There
is a story told in a neighboring town OF
a horse which invariably stops at a GER
tain store on the highway and refuses
to go on until his master has given him
a glass of whisky and water. And this
because once upon time in cold night
he had stopped here and been revived
with such Il beverage. 1t is quite com
mon to speak of horse as good, s'hon-
orable'' creature. Horses are like men,
in this respect; some have no honor,
others seem the very soul of it. ''Drive
up, SAID some one to his morse coming
in contact with load of hay in the
'front.'; ''drive up and take bite" But
in this case the horse was more honora-
bic than the man, for nothing would in
duce him TO touch the hay that was not
his master $, although his head was inn
bedded in it. Was not this an ''honor-
able horse?" A horse has been seen.
while the barn door stood open, to walk
in, open a chest of grain, and eat there
from. Another has been left in stable
with an open chest of grain and would
his masters word. What was this it
not honorp

Poor Man,


This man should be classed with the
richly craped widow who incurred for
her dead husband at four dollars a
yard The New York Mercury says:
AT the funeral of an esteemed lady of
this city the bereaved widower, who
was sobbing during the services on a
black-bordered handkerchief, suddenly
arose and approached friend who was
leaning bowed on q marble mantel
The officiating clergyman stopped in
the middle of the address, supposing the
bereaved one was overcome with sorrow
Friends looked up in deep sympathy as
he whispered in a grief-stricken voice,
audible to all present.
''James, don't lean so hard on the
mantel! 1t cost me mint of money,
and won't stand heavy strain
Then he resumed his weeping and the
services proceeded.

Our FOREIGN Formulation.

With a population of over $4,000, 900
in the United States, we have added to
it for the year 1881, by immigration
alone, 10000 souls. More than dozen
of the states already in the Union have
not that amount of population, and if
this number could be all gathered into
the new territories, they would make at
receive the most of them. In 1854 the
population of the United States was on
" half as large as it is now, and yet we
received of foreign immigrants that
year not less than 319, 600 souis-a much
larger number in proportion to the ma
tive-born population than was received
during the year 1881.

Vaccination for Pleuro-Pneumonia.

DIR. James Law holds that pleuro-
! pneumonia, which is not to be under
| stood as strictly lung disease, is likely
to be met successfully by incubation
The plague, he says, is a local disease
which will develop in any vascular struc-
ture of susceptible animal. The germs
inhaled into the lungs prey upon the
lungs alone, and if other germs are
placed upon the raw surface of the tail
they will develop in the tail only, but
in both cases the disease affects the sys-
tenn in such way that the animal will
not again have the disease, however
much it may be exposed. If the tail is
inoculated the severity of the disease
will depend greatly upon the depth to
which the poison is planted. The exu-
dation and swelling rarely exceeds the
size of a hens egg. But in the lungs
the air passages are closed, preventing
q free ingress of oxygen, and it is not
uncommon for the mass of emulation to
weigh as much as thirty pounds, besides
an enormous liquid effusion in the pleu-
rae. In Australia incubation is clumsi-
~ but successfully performed by draw
ing a worsted thread, smeared in the
exudiate, through the connecting tissue
beneath the skin of the tail This is q
deep insertion, but the loose texture of
sion of air and counterfeit any danger
Gus change in the virus.
Mr.. Brag,
Everybody knows q Mr.. Brag. He is
not generally a man of peculiarly inn
pressive appearance, or particularly
high in his profession, whatever that
may be, but, according to his own opin-
ion of himself, he is remarkable for I'M
Outstanding everything and being able
TO do anything better than any one else.
He can beat any walker on record.
He reads the reports of rowing matches
with sneer, and says:
Il could have told them thing or
two, if they had gone up to Harlem with
me last Saturday,
If a lightning calculator is spoken of,
Brag smiles superior, and says: '<Why,
/ foot up the figures faster than that ev-
cry day at our officer
He could tell all the politicians how
to manage their little affairs, and every
President of these United States how to
rule. His advice would have kept every
ocean steamer that has ever met with
shipwreck from destruction and if the
detectives would only come to him, they
would have no difficulty III discovering
tbs Whereabouts OF the most wary Grim
inal.
He goes to hear the Rev. DR.. Pound
text and remarks to his friend: Gan
very we'll bat I'd like to step into the
pulpit moment"
He attends the opera, and in the midst
of the braves which follow Herr How
ler's tenor solo, he whispers: "tAh! but
you have never heard a33y high c."
If Brag would only add to his other
superiorities that of holding his tongue
better than anybody else, how accom-
plished he would be!

CONQUERED Him.

DR.. Emmons, the able New England
divine, met a pantheistical physician at
the house of a sick parishioner. 1t was
no place for dispute, but the abrupt
question of the pantheist was:
Mr.. Emmons, how old are you?"
Sixty years; and how old are your
GAS old as creation was the tri-
umphant response.
''Then you are of the same age with
Adam and Evep''
Certainly. I was in the garden
when they were"
Il have always heard that there was
a third party in the garden with them,
bat never knew before that it was
you," rejoined the divine.

What Caused a Goose to Get Tired Of
the Water.

One would hardly believe that a goose
could be broken of the habit of going
into the water, but. q case, of this kind
has occurred at Clinton. A boy owned
large gander, and he thought it would
be good joke to tie a fish line to the
leg of the gander. with q hook properly
baited, and watch the result. So he
fixed the gander with a line on one leg
about ten feet ien@, at the end of which
was pickerel hook and q frog for bait.
The gander was driven into the mill
pond, where be 4@:-m around for half
hour, turning flip tlsps and diving for
feed. Suddenly the gander felt a pull
at his leg, and he looked as surprised as
the Lone Fisherman when he caught
whale. The gander seemed to think
there was something the matter with
him, and he looked down at his feet I'M
der water to try and see into it. The
pickerel began to yark, and the gander
made up his mind that he was not well
and wanted to 20 home. He started for
the shore, but the piekerel on the hook
vantad to the other wav- and II was
