Two locally famous dogs died short
time since. One was an English
pointer that caught in its mouth ca
nary on the fly (out of its cage) by
leaping four feet into the air, but with
out hurting the bird or rufiling feath-
er. The other was a Philadelphia
Watchdog that attacked every police
man he saw, once damaging one very
seriously by taking big piece out OF
him, and chewing his calf. He was
owned in Disston's saw factory, and il
he found the men loafing around out.

Mr.. Gunderson, vice-consul for Swe-
den and Norway, at Bordeaux, France,
has hit upon novel way of sending
messages from the sea. The ancient
bottle is always liable to broakage, and
the recent pretty inventions of tin
ships or buoys are found too expensive
and Troublesome in practice. Mr. Gun
derson employs the small colored bal
looms made for children, which cost
only shilling dozen and can be
carried empty. He puts the message
inside, and throws the inflated balloon
overheard. 1t travels rapidly before
the wind, keeps the message perfectly
dry, and is a striking object at some
distance-a great advantage as regards
the chance of being picked up. One
was recently tried, with letter inside,
off Dover, where one of the inventors
ships was aground, and two hours
afterward the letter was posted in Do
yer by an unknown hand.

on their purchases. The manager says
that the whole secret of success in CO
operation is to start on small scale and
extend the business slowly. To this
rule he attributes the success of the
venture. 1t was begun eight years
ago by several men who worked in a
factory, and thought it would be a
good idea to cheaper provisions by
buying in lots and then dividing. They
formed little society, and kept their
stock in a room of a members resi-
dence. Next they hired small store,
and from that the business has grown
to annual sales aggregating S250,OOO.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

He heapeth up riches and another
man shall gather them. The youngest
bank president in New York, worth
100000, recently died at the age of
thirty; and man named John Day,
who set up a drinking saloon along a
Colorado road of fifty miles, which
previously had none, soon filled big

ounces of lead in his head and his gold

When Mr.. Hit, American secretary
of legation at Paris, introduced Gov
ernor Hendricks to Gambetta as his
good friend, the French orator and
statesman was greatly puzzled. "Why,'
said he, "you belong to different
parties % "Yes," said Mr.. Hendricks,
some of my warmest personal friend
ships are among my political oppon-
ents." "And that is common in your
country?" asked Gambetta Nothing
more So" remarked Governor Hen
bricks. "There, said Gambetta, sis the
ideal republic" Gambetta's apprecia-
ton of political state of affairs in
which political opponents can express
their differences without shooting one
another's head off or running swords
through one another's body, betrayed
itself in his own growing moderation
of tone and his good sense in subduing
the passionate radicalism of his party.

CHANGE OF TIME. On the 18th inst. a

of the United States. BY the new arrange.
ment, each Is degrees of longitude mark

come the practical measure and within
the limit OF each Is degrees covering
about 900 miles, the clocks will all regis.
ter the same hour at the same instant OF
time and upon crossing from one belt OF
Is degrees to another change of full
hour will be made Thus, to illustrate
supposing the F. g. E. turnpike through
this town to be on one of the Is degree
lines, north and south, and that at Gil
bert's Hotel it were l O'Clock p. m, it
would at the same instant be IL O'Clock
noon, in V, B. Osler's Office on the opp0-
site corner, assuming the 10 degree line to
be the centre Of the street AT the same
time that it became O'Clock p. m, at the
Gilbert House, it would be o'clock p. m.
at all points within 900 miles to the east
ward, and as it would, RS We have said be
II o'clock, noon, at the same instant on
Osler's corner, it would likewise be 10
o clock noon, at the same instant at all
points within 900 miles TO the westward.
From this will follow the novel result that
two points fifty feet apart would have an
hours difference in the time, and yet be-
tween two points distant from each other,
east and west, 1900 miles the difference in
the time would be no more, whereas prac-
tically, in the first instance the difference
in time is nothing and in the second is
really two hours. A man could board a
train in Graceham at 8 o'clock a. m. and
after riding As minutes, westward, find
himself in Hagerstown at a quarter Of
nine, same day. This time scheme has
been gotten up for the benefit of railroad
schedules, that constant and unvarying
time may be used and it is likely to be
some time before manufacturers and bust
ness men will all agree to have the time
out of joint from one to sixty minutes in
order that their clocks may agree with
their neighbours,

There were two democratic tickets vO

twelve republican tickets upon which APP

entire Orphans Court ticket was thrown
out in each case, SO that Mcssrs. Stokes

third loss was divided amongst the repub.
lican ticket. The tickets were terribly
scratched, in one or two instances there
being but one name left.
The general result as we learn as we &c

and Reich has been elected on the demo

co in this county has been the result of an
attempt to make political capital thereof
such proof has just been furnished.
Over two months have elapsed since the
date of what should have been the open
ing of the public schools and yet we find
the republican statement by the County
Commissioners and the democratic reioin-
der by Mr.. Lakin, published last week,
the latest possible date before the election.
The intended use of these two docu-

liberal thinker that politics in this county
has finally gotten to be so desperate a
game, that in order to WIN an election, the

4 Strange Disease.

Dr. =. NJ. Wilhelm of No. 10 town

Concord ON Monday nigh> with his sick
son John, aged 70 years, On the way to
Salisbury to cona:!: n-. Wilhelm in re-
gard to the extraordinary maady with
which his son was acfllited. II is a most
peculiar case, and the disease is what the
doctors term "hyper;ethesin." An ordi-
nary bathing tub can be filled with cold
water and the boys feet placed therein,
and in less than ten minutes the water
Will be made so hot that ono can feel tho
heat through the slaves of the tub. The
boy sniiers agony rs if h, had his feet in
Il bed OF conls oil the time, and was car
ried from his fathers house to Salisbury
with his feet in tub Of water. Between
his house and Concord Mr.. Wilhelm had
TO change the water four times, and short
ly after being changed each time it would
become hot again. At times the pain
suffered by the boy is almost beyond en-
durance. Morphine used in treble dosss
has no effect upon him, but mt times
whisky is used to good advantage. He
has been suffering about one month.
MT wilhelm IL running n steam mill,
and this boy is the chief help. On the
dny that his malady appeared one of his
ill't prcthers was NJ the engine, and by
chance very strong head of steam was
put on. The machinery was soon in
violent and rapid motion, so much that
all left but the little fellow, who climbed
on the engine and was at the steam gauge
trying 10 regulate matters. The older
boy, John, coming up and seeing the
pcrilous condition of his little brother,
hastily put upa ladder and mounted it
for the rescue, but upon reaching him
the rocking of the boiler and engine was
so great that he could not get the young
fellow down, who was manfuliy trying to
manage the guage. The machinery was
finally stopped and everything righted.
The excitement and strane upon Johns
nervous system in this case is supposed
to be the formation of his disease, rs he
WAS attacked the same day with strange,
stinglng sensation in his arms, and from
tina. to his legs and feet, where he is now

less they can connect the shock and scare

A Man Without Fear.

marines said lately, when talking over the
newspaper reports OF the daring Of some
of our soldiers in Egypt every often
bravery only means Satan getting into
you, for some time. You lose your head
and your fears. Now, the brayest man
ever knew WAS a convicted thief. He
had smuggled himself into the marines
somehow, without letting it be known
that he was ticket.of-leave man. My
lieutenant had once to take my men on
shore to garrison temporarily small
fort near Girgenti, near Sicily; among
them was the ex. thief Hardly were our
men landed and in command of the guns
than two of the enemy's ships hove in
sight, and soon they were launching par
ty under cover Of the ships guns. We
were but handful and no match for the
boatsful attacking us. Our fire was kept
up steadily, but so was the FIRE from the
ships. The men in the forts were drop

At last-I am forced to confess It'll o
two or three marines who still had whole
skins took to their heels into the scrub
wood behind. Poor chaps, there was
some excuse. Certain death was crawling
up the hill upon them in that landing
party, which neared the rampant with
rounds Of cheers. "Shame |" cried the
thief after his running comrades; and up
he got, loaded gun, and fired it right in
tho enemy's face, just too seconds before
sword thrust put him forever out oi
pain from his broken leg. The man had
always been sneaking fellow on board,
and we were surprised enough Mt che
heroism of his end. When his loss was
reported home, it came out, through some
relative, that he was convict. Poor
wretch ne made plucky ending, at any
rate? 2"
