Watching for their Master.

One Of the most remarkable reasons
probably ever urged tor the pardon Of q
criminal has been presented to the Gov
ernor Of North Carolina IN application fer
tho release Of Tenn Buckusr, y colorsa
desperate confined in Jail st Plymouth, In
that State. About eighteen months siuce
Buekner was the leader Of riotous gang
of lumbernen who threatened to burn the
town. The governor WAS compelled to
call out the military before ths rioters
were suppressed. Buckner was convicted
and sent to Jail for two years fer being
the ringleader OF the meb. At the time
Of his arrest the cslored man owned two
coon dogs which daily visited the court
during the trial Of their master aud sst
By his side. After Bucknsr was sent to
Jail the poor brutes took sp their station
at the jail-yard door. During Bucknsr's
imprisonment the dogs have not been
absent from their posts single night.
They relieve each other during the day
to get food, but At night are constantly At
the door. The people Of the town became
attracted BY this singular evidence Of the
devotion OF the dumb creatures TO their
master. They built them . kennel near
the Jail door and within sight Of Buck
ner's cell window. Governor Jarvis wife
visited the place 4 few weeks ago, aud
was moved to tears by the wonderful
fidelity of Bucknsr's dogs TO their master.
She has joined others in recommending
the governor TO pardon Buckner, who
still has year to serve. The principal
reasons urged for executive clemeuey arc
the facts here related.

A Very Sensitive Plant.

A singular species Of acacia is growing
at Virginia, New, which shows all the
characteristics Of q sensitive plant. II Ia
about eight feet high, and growing rap
idly. When the sun sets its leaves fold
together, and the ends Of the twigs coil
up like 4 pigtail, and if the latter are
handled there is evident unsasiness
throughout the plant. Its highest state
Of agitation was reached when the tree
WAS removed from the pot in which it Was
matured into larger one. Ts use gar
deasr's expression it went very mad. It
had scarcely been placed in ita new quar-
tsrs before the leaves began TO stand up
in all directions like the hair on the tail
Of an angry cat, and soon the whole plant
was in 8 qaiyer. At the same time it gave
out siokening and most pungent oSor,
resembling that Of rattlesnakes when
leased. The smell 50 filled the house
that it was necessary to open the doors
aud windows, and 1t was a full hour be-
fore the plant Gained down aud folded
its leaves in peace.

Brave Jennie Miles.

One evening recently, as Miss jennie
Miles, a girl sixteen years old, was re-
turning from church, in New Haven, CT,
to her fathers house, she WAS seized by
big, burly colored man, who jumped cut
from behind clump Of shrubbery. As
she struggled to free herself she discover
cd that the rufian was In his bare feet.
Then she sprang upward and with all her
force brought The sharp heels Of her shoes
down upon his toes. lie howled with
rage and pain, and threatened to take her
life. In the darkness she could not make
out the mans features, but he pressed his
face close agalns. her, and heavy whisk-
ers swept her cheeks. In an Instant she
wound her fingers into the whlskers, and
his bowls grow louder and louder. The
dyke roadway is narrow, being barely
dozen feet in width. In an unguarded
moment her asssilsnt ncared the brink Of
the roadway. AS he did SO the brave girl
summoned all her strength, and they both
plunged over the edge and into the water.
The man fell beneath her, and as the water
was deep, he gave up his fight and strug-
gled to free himself from the girls clutch
and to save himself from drowning. She
pulled out n big bunch Of bristly hair
from his cheek and let him 20. She
clsmbered up the bank and ran hsetly
homeward. Her father, VIM. Ii. Miles,
one Of the leading residents Of the Tenth
ward, organized search party and went
out with lanterns to hunt for the girls
ass,ilant, but he made good bis escape.

How TO Save Money.

A lot Of Boston tourists were recently
travelling In a sleeping car, In which was
also Nevada traveller. In the morning
when the porter went round to collect his
assessment on boot blaokiLg, there was =
great commotion among the Boston tour
lists. Some paid him five-sent nickle,
and those Who had no niokle were eom-
PEELED to yield up short bits. All the
while the Nevada man, dressed In ordi-
nary cloths. sat reading his newspaper.
When the porter reached him he looked
up inquiringly:
"Did you black my boots, sirf"
eyes, sir"
"Ycu did splendid job; never had my
boots blacksnsd so well before on this
line. Here's three dollars"
When the porter pocksted the money,
the Boston people locked up in astonish-
nsnt, and presently il WA rumsred about
that John Nackey wss aboard, or Knoch
Stroller was out on 8 campaigning trip.
In few minutes the Nevada man and
the porter met by chance in the smoking
room.

"Your time was up, sab, at Ogden, but

HIS LIST act WAS SENSIBLE.

A Drunken Plasterer After Beating His
Wife, Goes into the Bushes and Bores
Hole Through His Body with a Shotgun.
About 8 o'clock last night word was
brought to the city hall that man named
William Otte had committed suicide on
De Soto street. Word was sent to the
coroner and also to Messrs. MCCARTHY d
Donnelly, and soon after they started for
the scene of the tragedy. With them went
Officer Distler. They found the body
in the bushes with the
gun beside it. This Otte,
who put an end to his life, was plasterer
by trade, drunkard by inclination, and a
wife beaten by practice. He has been up
before the police court more than once.
For several days he has been drinking very
heavily, and yesterday afternoon returned
home in state of considerable inebrla-
ton and commenced the usual general row
with his wife. He finally got out of doors,
and finding two boys he attempted
| to entice them away into the
brush with him. One turned around
but the other went on, and when Otte got
to the spot where he shot himself, the boy
says he stopped, took off one shoe and a
| stocking; that he then put the butt of the
gun on the ground and the muzzle against
his stomach; that after placing everything
| in this situation he reached up his bare
foot, and with the big toe touched the
| trigger. In an instant more an explosion
| followed, and Otte laid down in the weed:
with a good sized hole bored through
him. Officer Distler and the other:
who went out after the cold corpse
brought it III about IL o'clock last night
They all report that the late Mr.. Otte die
the business up in very complete style
The deceased was thirty eight years o.
age, plasterer by trade, and leaves 1
wife and one boy. The inquest will b.
held to-day.

The Choral Society Concert Last Evening
The Black Crook.
Signor A. Jannotta, director, and the
members of the st. Paul Choral society
have reason to congratulate themselves
upon the grand success OF their fourth
concert given at Market hall last evening.
The attendance was considerably larger
than at any previous concert. Further, it
was most intelligent and appreciative
audience. The programme was also of a
higher order of music than before under
taken by the society, and the fact that the
large audience we're kept in their seats until
IL o'clock, and were apparently
as fresh and anxious for more as
at the conclusion of the first number tells
the story of the excellent manner in which
| it was presented. The orchestra was
| consolidation of that of Seibert's ofiSt.
Paul and Danz's of Minneapolis, and the
| very artistic manner in which it presented
the overture, the merry Wives of Wind
sor,'' brought it and the audience into per-
feet sympathy, and put the latter into the
best humor possible for absorbing and en-
| loving the meritorious and artistic
| presentations that followed. The first
! appearance of the Choral society
was in DROPS of Rain,'' light and trip
ping, and "Sweet and low" soft and slow,
both of which were excellently we'll rem
dered. A piano soloI followed, Chopin, by
Mrs. Caroline B. Jilson; cavatina, ''Or la
sulr onda,' Miss May Murphy; string
quartet, "Die Scheme Muellerin," Mr.. D
Muehlenbruch, and Paul, Wellington and
Theodore Jennison; selection from ''Tra
viata," by Miss Kate Kountz, of Pitts
burg, Pa, the soprano soloist of The
evening, all of which were most raptur
ously applaudsd.
Orchestra, chorus and soloists did them
selves and their director great credit.
