How An Unframed Dog Played

Louisville Commercial.


Yes, sill" said Professor Thomas
w. Tobia, Grab Orchard Springs is a
very pleasant resort, and there is a
nice company OF summer idlers there.
| have been there some days, and
feel much invigorsted. You cannot
find bar room. but you can have
drinks sent to your room. By the
way, there was almost a fatal case OF
mistaken Identity up there last week
during the hot spell. Several of the
most popular ladies Of the springs
eoncludedto 90 bathing one AFTERNOON.
They took the greatest precautions as
to there destination and safety from
intrusion. They took Jim Robinson
along to guard them-Jim, by the
way, being dog named after the late
popular manager. They took along
also some light netting and nuns
yelling to improvise into bathing
suits, there being no suits discovered
at the springs. Well, it went along
very nicely for awhile. Jim sat upon
the bank and watched the clothes, and
not cloud was athwart the bathing
horizon. The ladies, having pinned
on the light draperies, made a dive
into the pellucid waters. When they
came to the surface and walked up in
the shallow water there was a change
in Jim's demeanor. Jim had been
instructed to keep men away,
aud when the ladies emerged the
wet draperies were clinging so closely
that Jim's mind became disturbed,
ana, having strict orders, he took
them Tor men, and setting up a bark
like a wolf he went sailing fiercely
into the water after the ladies. They
tried to quiet him, bat be snapped at
them so viciously that they ran shrek
ing out OF the water and up the bank.
BY this time some gentlemen at dis
lance had become alarmed and came
rushing up to see what was the mat
ter. This produced fresh screams,
and Jim's barking fire was divided.
The ladies hid behiaa trees, and with
difficulty aud much disgust succeeded
In persuading the gentlemen that they
we're merely romping with Jim. How
ever. there was no more bathing that
day, and mosquito bar bathing suits
are at discount at the springs"

The Johnstown Pa Tribune states
that sixteen years ago Francis NJ.
Brown, residing in Baltimore county,
eighteen miles from Baltimore city,
eloped with a woman named Celia
Reichenecke, taking with him his four
year old son, and leaving behind his
wife and two younger children, one an
infant. Mrs. Brown removed to
Johnstown, where she has since resid-
ed, supporting herself and children by
the use of her needle. LastWednesday
morning a fine looking young man
called at her house and asked for
Mrs. Susan Brown. Being informed
that he was addressing Mrs. Brown,
the young man embraced the lady
and made himself known as her
long lost son. lie explained that his
,ather was prosperous miller at
Union City, Tenn, worth at lesst
S65, 100, and that until very recent
date he had believed the woman who
lived with the father was really his
mother. The truth in the matter was
made known to him by the brother in
law of Brown whilst in an intoxicated
condition, and, taking slEantage Of
his fathers temporary ab ence, he
wrote in his day book; "Father-I
have learned that my mother lives; by
the help of God, | intend finding
her." After a tedious journey the
young man reached Baltimore last
Tuesday, and, ascertaining his
mothers whereabouts, preeeeisd 20
Johnstown. The Tribune adds:
Mrs. Brown says she was married to
Brown on the % of December, 1860,
at Hereford, Md, where she was born
and reared. Brown is ? native Of
BALTIMORE" ArS. Brown haa re-
tsined counsel, and will at once begin
proceedings against her husband fOF q
legal settlement.
