ROVER

Rover was gift. Born on the same
day with baby Charley, he was pres
ent to him. 1t was winter, and Rover
way wrapped in a square of flannel and
laid by the kitchen fire, and fed milk
from a saucer. Five pair of hands
helped him change his position five
pair of feet ran themselves tired wait
ing on and capering about him in their
joy, and five tongues said: .~Oh see"
when he opened his eyes and put out
his cunning little red tongue to lap the
milk. .. .I -.,... .-.......
One of the differences between him
and the baby upstairs was that he grew
so much faster, and when little Charley
was ready to creep, and rolled over in
the effort. Rover could bound after q
ball and curyet around, as much at
home on his own legs as he ever
could be.
Rover was well named He never
saw a patch of water that he didn't
make dive for it, nor piece of wood
land that he did not explore The chill
dren were all lively. They ran races
with him, and swan with him, but
were not always ready for his mischief.
Once he seized little pair of pants (the
owner was in the water). What %
commotion! His eyes shone with fun.
The bare-legged owner started for his
truwsers. Whenever at safe distance
Rover stopped and shook them
vigorously, paved and rolled over
in the grass with them, and
finally deposited them on the
doorstep. Now, little Dick could not

caught and tied up. His release was

part of his punishment or not, can't

NASHlNGfoN,'DC, OCT. IL.
Lieutenant Darlington, of the Signal
Corps, who commanded the Proteus Arctic
expedition, has completed his report to the
Secretary Of War, and the document to-day
formed the subject OF conference between
the Secretary and General HAGEN, Chief OF
the Signal Corps, who has returned to
Washington. Nothing was agreed upon
relative to the PRONUNCIATION of the report,
which is understood to deal severely with
some of Lieutenant Garlington's accuseis.
He states that everything possible under
the circumstances was done to insure the
safety of the crew and stores of the Pro-
teus, and that all stories of mismanagemeht
and lack of ability in the conducb of the
expedition are baseless. Every detail of
the cruise from the date of leaving st.
Johns till the Proteus was crushed in the
ice is carefully explained, and the report is
said to be very carefully prepared and
exhaustive document.

Chinese Cavalry.
[Cor. London Telegraph

Arrived at Hangchow the first object
which met my eyes was body of Chinese
soldiers, evidently lately concentrated. They
consisted of the three arms and, although
somewhat rough in appearance, proved to be
uncommonly serviceable-looking fellows upon
near inspection. A squadron of horse was
crossing the bridge at the moment when my
boat came to an anchor, and as they went
by could but notice that they were well
mounted, that they rode well, that they were
armed with breech-loading carbines and
lances, and that they were fairly well drilled
in European fashion. l had no opportunity
of seeing them maneurve, but the march
past was good-quite equal say, to the or
binary marching of a French cavalry regi-
ment, though not perhaps so smart as that
OF an English or German squadron. 1t
would have compared very favorably with a
sotnia of Cossacks The bridge being low I
was able to get good view of the men, and
Judged them to be, mainly, Tartars, and
southern Cinnamon, at any rate. They wore
blue and white uniform, were warmly
clad for it was cold, and seemed well fed

THE OTHER FELLOWS.
Texas Siftings.1


The sun had retired through the golden gates
To his bed in the gilded west,
And the moon was fitting her silver horn.
When the girl that l loved best
Was slowly swinging around with me
In the waltzs passionate whirl:
And my heart kept time to the fairy tread
OF my girl, my beautiful girl.
The stars shone out on the dusky night
Like the pin near her milk-white throat,
And her voice was tender and sweet and low,
And her hands-but how could note
Every charming turn of form and face,
When one most bewildering curl
Fell over her brow and kissed the white lids
OF my girl, my very best girl,
She breathed her love on my tender soul
Like sight from the land of the best,
And looked in her eyes with right that
was mine;
And then-shaf I tell you the rests
We returned to the room and the music
swelled out,
And again she essayed the mad whirl;
But another man had her-the- son-of-a-gun!
OH my girl, my beautiful girl!
And he kept her.
