Coanseling His Friends.


 Political aspirants have odd ways sometimes of fishing for nomination, but there is one way that has become decidedly common-''urged by friends to save the party, etc" This reminds me of story of an old farmer of Erie County, now dead, but at one time one of the strongest of Republicans. He had been honored with petty offices in his own section, but had longing de- sire to figure as 8 county officer Ac- cordingly one dayhe approached one of the leaders of the party, and after lit tie introductory talk about the crops and the weather, the conversation soon drifted to the subject of politics. This gave the old man his chance, and soon he remarked:
 = ''Do you know, MT. -, my friends have all been urging me for several years to run for Sheriff. They say I ought to do it in the interest of the par ty. but I don't know Now, I'm get ting to be rather an old man, but-'e
 "Of course, you don't want to run?" interrupted the other, with a decided twinkle in his eye.
 ''Well, now, don't know. You see my friends have been urging me so much that thought perhapsS''
 "Well, that isn't right" again inter- rupted the party leader "I'I just go and see your friends and tell them they've got to put stop to that. ."- Buffalo Ne11s

Making Adobes,

Recently we drove down to see them making adobes, says correspondent of the Philadelphia Times. They make an "acequai'' by drawing the water through ditch from the creek to where the adobes are to be made. This water, clay and chopped hay form the adobe material. The workers presented picturesque appearance, the red hand kerchiefs bound aboutt5their foreheads contrasting with their bronzed skins, glittering eyes and dark hair They wore gray-colored shirts and pants that might have been white at the embarka- ton of Noah's ark. They were rolled high above the knees. Two of the men stood knee-deep in the mud, with which they loaded an oblong litter, trotting with it to a man on the hill above. who moided the bricks. He had hollow rectangular frame, three inches in depth and divided in the center. Placing this on the ground he filled it with mud from the litter, smoothed the mud even at the top, and raising the litter left two bricks on the ground, while the two men trotted back and again loaded the litter. After these adobes dry on the top they are turned sideways to harden in the sun. At night they are carefully covered with tarpaulin, in case of rain, which destroys them if it falls before they are hardened. The Mexicans, in building their houses, hollow out a place in front of the building, where the ''acequai'' is formed to make the adobe, and when the house is finished use this hollow for debris.

The Animal World.


Correspondent Disoourses Upon the Dogs sa.
 gacity.
 l once owned a greyhound who was troubled with dreams. She would keep her limbs going as when running, and kept up subdued or untitled barking, as if in pursuit of game. Her actions were human-like, and seemed to indi- cate that she possessed aspiritof thought independent of her ordinary dogship.
 am not prepared to say that there is a spiritual haven for dogs or other ani- mals. but must confess that my love for the brute creation is such that can ar que at least in favor of such provi- sion for all beings. Also that so much intelligence, love and faithfulness were not created for transitory existence. Ii the rocks and trees are indestructible, in fact all inanimate things cannot be destroyed but only changed, can we not reasonably argue that the mental or in- structive forces of intelligent animals shall live forever?
 A dog knows when be is used well, and remembers an insult. He is capa- ble Of being shamed; point your finger at him and call him sneak and he will act like sneak. Then call him good Towser, handsome fellow, with beauti- ful brown eyes, and he will stand up and climb all over you to show that you have spoken the truth
 A gentleman and his wife called upon us few evenings since and brought with them a St. Bernard dog He had a muzzle on made of leather. The mas- ter made it but six hours before. He took off the muzzle and laid it on the floor and spoke to the canine in the or dinary tone of voice as follows: "Bruno, where is your muzzle?'' The dog im- mediately picked it up and laid it on his masters lap. A dog that will learn the name of muzzle in half a day, and stick his own nose into it, is more intel igent than some boys, who cannot learn the name of a mountain, or lake or sea in twenty-four hours.
 This remarkable dog took off his mas- ter's hat to teach him politeness, when he came into the room with it upon his head. He knew the names of eat, rat and the names of members of the fami- ly, and yet he was but.one year old. Quite a smart boy, ehp-Syracuse Courier.

A Strange Phenomenon.

Mackerel fishermen returning from the eastern coast describe a strange phenomenon which they do not pretend to explain. They say that beginning at point off Monhegan, Me. and extend ing northeast for sixty-five or seventy miles, the blue water is sharply cut by whitish stream some thirty miles in width. The line of demarkation is per- fectly distinct and extends downward like a wall as far as the eye can pene- trate. Mackerel swimming into the white water are peculiarly affected by the change, and display in their move ments great activity and uneasiness. Capt. Stephen J. Martin, veteran fish erman and an employe of the United States fish commission, remembers that in 1S49, in the same region, the ocean presented similar appearance, and that the phenomenon was repeated in 1851 on the southeastern part of George s bank

How Sweden's Princess Was Won.
BY THOMAS DUNN ENGRIsH.

A page who seemed of low degree And bore the name Of Knut, was he; The high-born Princess Hilga, she. And that the youth had served her long, Being quick at errands, skilled in song, To jest with him sine thought no wrong. And SO it chanced one Summer day, At chess, 10 while the time away, The page and Princess sat al play. At length she said, ''To play for naught Is only sport to labor brought, So let wager gucrdon thought" My diamond necklace" then she cried, "rl match against thy greatest pride, The brand he'd pendant at thy side.'' But though my fathers ghost be wroth, III FISK the weapon, nothing 10th, Against thy love and virgin troth.'' "Thy words, bold youth, shall work thee i'll; Thou canst not win against my skill, But can punish at my will.'
 Begin the game: that hilt so fine 8 all never more kiss hand of thine, Nor thou again be page of mine." From square to square the Bishops crept, The agile Knights eccentric leapt, The Castles onward stately swept. Pawns fell in combat one by one; Knights, Rocks, and Bishops could not shun Their fate before that game was done. "Check!" cried the Princess, all elate; "Check! y! cried the page, and sealed the fate Of her beleagured King with ''mate!" The Princess smiled and said: "I lose Nor can l well to pay refuse From my possessions pick and choose. "Or diamonds bright, or chests of gold, Or strings of pearls of worth untold These may be thine to have and hold. "Any or all of such be thine;
 But, save he springs from royal line, No husband ever can be mine." "Nor jewels rich, nor lands in fee, Steeds, robes. nor castles pleasure me: Thy love and troth be mine'' said he ''Nor shalt thou lack of state and pride, When seated crowned thy lord beside, As knut, the King of Denmark s bride!' Ring marriage bells from sun to sun, And tell the gossips as they run, How Sweden's Princess has been won.

A JEWELLERS STORY.

It was on the 29th of October, 1859, that was returning to England, having taken the steamer at Dublin for Holy head. Business had taken me to Ire land-I am jeweler-and it had been necessary for me to visit branch of my own firm in Dublin. I was bringing back certain valuable jewels which re- quired resetting diamonds of great val ue, and some otffer things of less i'm. portance, but still valuable.
 l carried the jewels which I have al- ready mentioned in small black hand bag, and so longsas knew that it was safe was free from care Arriving at Holyhead, l took my seat in an em pty ftrst-cfass railway Carriage. Just as the train was moving of. however, gen. tleman suddenly got in. He sat down nearly opposite to me, so had good opportunity of observing his appear ance. lnoticed that he was young, ap. parently not more than four-and-twen- ty, that he had broad black band round his hat, and that on his face were traces of recent sorrow, almost, in fact, of agitation. He seemed relieved at having caught the train; and being, like myself, quite disinclined for con versation, our journey proceeded in silence.
 My bag lay beside me and quite un- der my eyes. was tired after my cros- sing, and fell into sort of doze. On waking 1 instantly glanced at my bag. There it lay, quite safe. My compani- on. however. had moved his seat We stopped at Chester, and here I thought l would get out and walk about little, as we had ten minutes to wait. 1 took my bag and got out. On my return to the train there was my companion ap- parently asleep. l got into the carriage without disturbing him., and we con tinued on our journey. At Crewe, our next stopping-place, he got out, and did not come back. was very tired now, and fell into a sound sleep, with my hand holding the handle of my black bag. I did not wake until I reached London; then getting into the first han som 1 saw, and still carrying my pre- cIous bag which I was heartily tired, l drove home. On my arrival, with 8 method which suppose is habitual to a man in my trade, instantly went to the safe in which l kept valuable jewels, unlocked it, and depositing the bag on the table, opened it.. Imagine my dismay at finding that, instead of my diamonds, it contained only some rusty bits of iron, and wooden debris. My bao. was gone; this other bag had been clev- erly substituted for it, so cleverly, in- deed. that even the weight, as well as the appearance had been judged.
 Il put the affair into the hands of the police, giving them exactly every par ticular as 1 have written it. The bag was lost.

A year after the events narrated in the last chapter I was again travelling on the line which takes passengers to Holy head. It was in the beginning of Octo- ber as we'll as I remember
 1 travelled flrst-class, my usual custom when l have long journey before me. During the year not sign had been given of my missing bag or the jewels, but l had not really despaired yet of re- covering it and them. for l had certain unaccountable feeling about the whole thing; that there was some mystery about it I felt sure.
 Regularly every Wednesday in every week had called at Scotland yard, and always had the same answer: Nothing yet, sir" The reward I had offered was sufficient to insure a certain inter- est, and the police, I firmly believe, were as keen in the matter as I could wish.
 On this October morning in 1860, I travelled with a lady who was in deep mourning. The day was chilly, and she wore several wraps; but getting warm in the carriage, she presently threw aside fur cloak she was wear lDS, anu ny eye was instantly attracted by handsome brooch she had on, in which was portrait.
 Without appearing to do so, and with a sudden feeling of interest and curiosity for which 1 cannot account, I managed to get a nearer view of the portrait.

HorriNinu.

Wheeling, W. Va, Oct IA special
to the Intelligencer says that a most
bloodcurdling homicide occurred about
fourteen miles from Clarksburg this
morning about l O'Clock. John r.
Bogges, Jr., killed bis wife and a daugh-
ter aged thirteen, while in a tit of men
tai arrangement, induced from strong
drink. He attacked his wife while she
was in bed, and she called q daughter,
who came and assisted her mother to
get loose from the grasp of her father.
They fed from the house, and he
then grabbed a large iron poker and
followed. Oyertaking his wife he hit
her two blows, the last of which
proved fatal, and with one blow he
killed the daughter also. The other
children fed. When found the mother
and daughter were lying together in
the road, and Bogges was found in the
house in a state of intoxication. He
denied the killing or knowing any
thing about it. He is a well-to.do far
mer, living at Rock Camp, Harrison
county, and of an old and respected
family. The occurrence created great
excitement and is without a parallel in
this section.
