A Dog i'm q Melon Patch,

A Scotch terrier, born in France.
and now buried on Long Island, was
as vain as turkey gobbler and as cute
as a fox. When his dinner of scraps
was sent out he would smell of it, toss
his head and strut off; but the mo-
ment that he thought he was not OBJ
served the dignity was dropped and
the meat snapped up. If laughed at,
his solemn manner and injured air
were very comical. Sometimes the
mischief lover of the family would
say to him, in tones of praise: ooh.
you homely little imp, you ugly little
scamp, you shall be hung up for a
scarecrow," just to see the expression
of pleasure in the energetic motion of
his shortened tail. He was often ia
ken to the woods to hunt. When his
quick, short bark told the boys that
he had freed a squirrel, to tease the
dog they would 60 to the tree, look
up at the squirrel, and then turn and
walk away The terrier would scratch
furiously, and, catching a sprout in
his teeth, would fairly fling himself
on the ground in his rage. Neddy's
foibles were apparent, but he was
brave and true. He died defending
his owners melon patch.

THE INSANE.
How Things Appear to Those Who
Have Lost Their Reason.

| The first that [ remember of my at
! tack was while was riding in a rail
road car. 1t seemed to me that the
passengers in the forward part were
getting up amateur theatricals The
fact that this did not surprise me, nor
appear at all out of place, illustrates
one curious feature of insanity, and
that is, it's close similarity in many
respects to dreaming 1t is well known
that the strange phantasmagoria at
tending upon most of our dreams
never strike us at the time as at all
astonishing, illogical, or contradic
tory, because the critical faculty in
sleep is partially and perhaps wholly
dormant. And so also sit in insanity.
And as a sound or touch will suggest
or give direction to an ordinary dream
so everything that occurs within the
sight or hearing of an insane man af-
fects him in like manner. Also, he
has no more control over his words
and actions, when the insanity is COM
plete, than a sOmnambulist. And,
when a patient comes to himself, after
having been insane, hefeels as though
he had been having long and, some
times, a very unpleasant dream. Some
of my decisions were of frightful
character, and resembled a nightmare
more than anything else; but more
often they were by no means disagree
able. OF course, it seemed strange to
me afterward that could have been
carried away by such absurdities. At
one time [ thought that the end of the
world had come, and that the day of
! Judgment was at hand. This was
somewhat remarkable, because [ had
not for years been a believer in the
scriptural prophecies relating to those
two events. Nor had [ any faith in
the doctrine that there is hell of fire
yet, i'll imagination, [ visited that
place of torment, and witnessed the
fortunes of the damned-without, how
ever, getting scorched myself. Some
strange cOnceits, that / had come
across in books, occasionally suggest
ed material for my mind to work on
[ saw men whose souls [ believed had
been taken from their bodies, leaving
behind the intelligent personal identi-
ty-an idea suggested by a character
described in Bulwer's Strange Story. u
Again, thought that demons occa-
siOnally terminated human bodies af-
ter death; and this fancy must have
got from dramatic work by Bishop
Coke, entitled Saul" in which the
evil spirit sent to trouble that unfor-
tunate monarch, terminated and took
possession of the body of a priest whom
Saul had slain. I mention these in
stances as serving to show the dream
like character of insanity. "InSani-

The Telegraph Strike Ended.
New York Herald.

The strike of the telegraphers has
come to a formal and, so to speak,
official end. The head of the brother
hood, In note to the members, tells
them to surrender.
The strikers have conducted them
selves well. If wires were cut and
disabled no such. bad and criminal
work has been traced to them, and it
is proper to hold them guiltless of law
lessness. Their strike became the oc-
casion of a good deal of foolish and
undemocratic writing in newspapers,
which rushed to the side of the en-
ployers and against the employed,
some journals even going so far as to
suggest thatlaws be adopted to prohibit
strikes by telegraph and railroad oper-
atocs. The discussion which these ex-
traOrdinary propositions caused has
done no harm, except to those who
showed themselves the superservice-
able supporters Of powerful corpora
tons.
The strikers evidently overestimated
their own strength and endurance.
They thought that the telegraph com
panieS could nOtget on without them.
They forgot that the American people
adapt themselves with singular readi-
ness to the most inconvenient changes,
and did not foresee that the public,
finding the telegraph no longer able
to serve it, at once took to transactine
a large part of its business by mail
thus helping the companies to resist
their striking working workmen by
lesseling their business.
But the strike has been extremely
useful, by impressing upon the public
mind the absolute necessity Of a gov

Sam and the Elephant.

Sam Wah, of Wilmington, Del. a
mild-eyed a Celestial as ever sprayed
a linen shirt, visited the Zoo on Thurs
day, and, after having ''heaplee fun
in the monkey house, stopped over at
the elephants home and watched with
much interest the little girls feed the
huge quadrupeds with peanuts and
ceke. A party of wicked lads noted
the contemplative satisfaction with
which Sam regarded the scene. They
beguiled the innocent fat-iron artist
into conversation, and finally persua-
ded him to give one of the elephants
a ginger cake which they had dosed
with red pepper: They then retired
to watch for the result. Sam patted
the animals trunk softly with one
hand, and remarked, " Eatlee
muchee."
The elephant closed its eyes lazily
and reached out for the cake with its
long trunk. Sam gazed with placid
satisfaction at the beast as it curled up
its trunk and poked the cake down its
throat Then the elephants little eyes
snapped viciously. Sam did not APP
pear to notice this, and turned around
to get another cake. AS he did so the
elephant reached out his long trunk
and wound it about the 1uckless
Chinaman's body. Then there was a
whirl and the thud of a Chinaman s
body twelve feet outside of the ropes.
The keeper rushed to the scene and
promptly pulled Sans head from a
parrot cage, where it had been jam
med, and carried him out for dead.
At the door, however, Sam revived,
opened his eyes and remarked
'Muchee earthquake. Then he got
on his feet and walked refectively tc
the station. He took the next train
for Wilmington where he confden-

Army Officers PAY Accounts.

Gen. Augur, in command of the De
partment of Texas, has struck a
severe blow at the practice of post
traders cashing the pay accounts of
army officers. In general order he
prohibits the traders of that depart
ment from cashing, receiving in pay
ment or in any manner handling or
negotiating pay accounts, that are not
due at the date of the transaction.
Violations of the order will subject
the offenders to annulment of appoint
ments. Paymasters, too, are required
to be more particular in future, and
must report every case where it is evil
dent that officers accounts were trans
ferred, in violation of the regula-
tiOns.

MUST BE CRAZY.
Cranks Seem to be Turning Up Every
Day with Some New Insane Freak
in Their Heads.

A paper published at Bradford, Pa,
says: '"The days of daring seems to
have settled down upon the world.
A drug clerk In this city, Julius Behl-
ing, is making a series of experiments
which, if successfully carried out, will
certainly give him niche IN the tem-
pie of fame. Mr. Behling procured a
strong umbrella with bamboo ribs, and
one night in July mounted the rail of
a bridge, and, opening his umbrella,
stepped off into space. The distance
to the water was perhaps fifteen feet.
He went down easily and landed in
about three feet of water. He then
made up his mind to startle the world
by jumping off the great Kinzua via
duct 800 feet high. On Wednesday
last he went to the bridge with an ex-
cursion party, and, stationing himself
on the structure at its highest point,
tremblingly opened cotton umbrel-
la. There was no breeze. Behling
carefully adjusted the umbrella and
let it drop. 1t did not capsize, but
when half way down it started off in
a southerly course, and was soon lost
to sightin the dense forest which skirts
the valley. The next day Behling
robbed his neighbor of a tom cat,
which he carefully slowed away in a
bag and took to the big bridge. The
cat was fastened to the handle of a
strong umbrella and was sent on TRIP
from the top of the bridge. The
weight of the animal acted as bal
ance, and it and the umbrella went

A WAR STORY
SIantOn's opinion OF Lincoln, In
Which the Latter Concurred.
Denver News

Denver news.
Among all the sturdy heroes of the
war who were mentioned In speech
and song at the late reunion of the
Grand Army, all mention of Edwin
M. Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary OF
War, was omitted by orators and
writers. AS an evidence of the high
esteem in which he was held by the
President it is related that during the
early part of the war the Western men,
as they were then called, had poor
opinion of the fighting qualities of the
men in the East, and, headed by Owen
LovejOy, of Illinois, devised scheme
which they thought would prove this
theory and be at the same time of i'm
mense service to the army In the East.
Armed with all the details of the plan
a committee headed by Lovejoy pro-
ceeded to Washington, and, calling
upon President Lincoln, unfolded to
HIM the wonderful scheme of trans
ferring 80, 900 Eastern troops to the
army Of the West, and supplying their
places with an equal number of West
ern men. Their eloquence and plausi-
bic arguments convinced the Presi-
dent to the extent that he gave them
an order to Secretary Stanton to carry
out the details of the plan as proposed.
On entering Stanton's office, he was
found busily engaged in writing, and
without looking up he desired toknOw
the object Of their visit.
Lovejoy explained the scheme as he
had before done to the President, but
was met with fat refusal by the Sec
rotary.
But we have the Presidents order,
sir, ;" said Lovejoy.
did Lincoln give you an order of
that kind?' quoth Stanton.
HE did, sir.
''Then he is id fool " said the
irate Secretary.
''Do you mean to say the President
is a id foolw asked Lovejoy in
amazement.
Eyes, sir; if he gave you such an
order as that"
The bewildered Illinoisian betook
himself at once to the President and
related the result of his conference.
did Stanton say | was a id
fool?' asked Lincoln at the close of the
recital
HE did, sir; and repeated it."
with that peculiar PARKWAY look
for which the PRESIDENT was noted, he
looked up after a moments pause and
said:
eff Stanton said [ was a id fool
then | must be one, for he is nearly
always right and generally says what
he means. will step over and see
him"
This he proceeded to do, and Stan
ton convinced him in a very few mo-
ments that the pan proposed would
be taken as an insult by the whole
East. Her soldiers would stop enlist
ing and her capitalists withhold the
solid assistance they had been previ-
ously furnishing the North. He thus
added largely to the confidence which
the President had previously reposed
in him.

The Palmetto States Alligator.
From the Aiken Is. O. Reporter.

From the Aiken Is. @ Reporter.
An alligator measuring ten feet
seven inches in length and, weighing
800 pounds was killed in Aiken Coun-
ty last week. The existence of this
saurian reptile in Glover's pond has
been known for twenty-seven years,
and many is the load of ,,buck-shot
that has been fired at him, but it was
reserved for the good craftsmanship
and long range rifle of Capt. George,
to terminate his depredations. The
reptile must not have been less than
so, and not improbably rs or 100
wears old.
