a Knowing Setter.
BErdehe.

Well, sir, that dog-eh? That Gordon
setter used to own. was telling you
about him, you know; we'll, he was smart.
Didn't take him long to catch on to all a
mans points, and he soon found out all
about my ramrod and musket, summer. vaca-
ton style of shooting. You know when
YOU take your gun out Of its case how
good bird dog goes wild with JOY dances
all around you, thrusts his tongue into your
face and gives you swab with it from chin
to eyebrow, and finally rushes out into the
yard and yelps and bowls and chases the
cat and the chickens up into the trees from
sheer excess of delight and exuberance OF
spirits. That's usually the way Of the dog.
Well, this Gordon setter of mine, he used
to watch me pretty close about the 18th,
and some day when he'd see me unlocking
the guncase, he'd sneak in, sit down very
solemnly, and watch me with an expression
that said palmer than words; You amt
going to take it out this year are your But
Id go on and take the gun out and rub 1t
mn little, and he'd shake his head and
look doubtful and say: 81 wouldn't go out
if were you; what's the use| And when
I'd sit down and oil the locks, he knew 1t
was settled. He would heave the most
hesrt-breakisg 81 h that ever drew on hu-
man sympathy, get up and 60 out into the
backward and sit down in the shade OF the
wood pile and cry, not loud, You know, but
silently. Most touching thing ever looked
at. And then he wouldn't eat bit OF sup,
per. When it was brought to him he would
shake his head and say it would choke him
if he'd try to eat and get up and crawl
under the house and moan and mutter
nearly all night. he did hate to see me
shoot. Sold him finally, when reformed,
Couldn't do any shooting after that. OF
course. Well, / sold the dog to hunting
friend, who was splendid shot; and ne
talked about dogs undying fidelity and
love for his old masterl Three days after l
sold that dog met him in the street, called
him by name, and put ont my hand to pat
him. III eat wire cartridge if he didn't
back off few steps, look at me steadily, as
though he never saw me before in all ms
life stuck his tail straight out, raised his
fore foot and made dead point on me; and
then walked away to the other side oil the
street. Cut me dead. And he never spoke
to me again.

town and using the fork for the first time.
thrust the morsel they had transhxed over
The shoulder, while Their fingers, from nm
conouerable habit, went into the open
mouth. There is an old ballad in existence
which describes the lamentsble fate OF Q
nervous young country squire in the days OF
James IL, who, being invited to q grand
dinner where forks were used, IN his agita-
ton thrust his so far into his mouth that the
prongs pierced his cerebellum and killed
him.
Forks came to America with our early
settlers, but were BY no means in common
use till the commencement Of the last CEN
fury. In parts Of New England the Puri-
tans forbade their use as articles Of sinful
luxury.
The FIST forks were the two-pronged. The
threepronged fork was not made until some
half century ago Previous to that time
every one ate vegetables and the like with
their knives Iron and steel forks are said
10 have been first made at Sheffield at the
end Of the last century.
As recently as 1920 knives aud forks
we're so rare in the taverns of Europe, Eng
land and America that travellers always car
ried case OF their own. The Highlander
costume TO his day includes kuife, fork
and spoon in handy case.
1t is worth noticing that from the very
first invention of the fork, the people OF
different countries used them more or less
in different way. John Bull, though dex
ferrous enough with the fork, is rarely seen
TO relinquish his knife at table, unless he is
eating fish,
But Cuts and Comes gain,
using both eapons and all his faculties al
thst serious business dinner. Your vel
bred Frenchman, on the contrary, after d
little preliminary execution with the knife
LAYS it down, and takes the fork in his righ'
hand, and makes that the minister to hil
appetite until he is satisfied. At the French
table hote the fork is always a substan
tial weighty. well-6nished article, generally
Of silver, while the knife is mere shred o.
soft iron, fixed in wooden handle, aud Of
the value Of only few sous; it may be, and
is the case in some places, that there is no
knife placed for the guest, the proprietor
presumiDg that ifhe use knife he will pro
duce one from his pocket
The German popularity in the use of the
fork is in that Of applying it perpendicu
larly to the plate or trencher, the prong:
bouncing upon the selected morsel, like q
bird of prey out of the clouds, and carrying
them of, This peculiarly WAS noticed BY
he author of book of travels, more thar
one hundred years ago, and it is as appos
lely descriptive OF German handling, at Thu;
lime of day, as it was then.
The Russians were not educated up t.
he fork until comparatively late era
when the instrument was commended Il

hey did not take kindli to the innovation
installing the fork at first for a toothpick
and travellers are not wanting wtD assert ia

The Constitution OF Virginia and the
Volunteer militia.
To The Editor of The Dispatch :

To the Editor OF the Dispatch
A bill has been offered in the House OF
Delegates providing for the maintenance
and support OF the volunteer militia. This
bill further provides for the raising OF
funds necessary to organize, equip, and
make effective the volunteer force OF the
State. This is done by every other State
in the Union, but has heretofore been en-
tirely neglected by our Legislatures,
although 1t is provided in our State Con-
stitutiOn-Article TX. section 2-that
{" the Legislature shall provide by law for
the encouragement Of volunteer corps OF
the several arms OF service, which shall be
classed as the active militia" This matter
has too long been neglected, and the public
now look TO this Legislature to take such
steps as the Constitution provides for, and
TO make such provision by law as will
nut the volunteer force in an effective con-
ditiou, throwing this protection around our
people, and at the same time take a step
recognized by all Virginians as necessary
towards thwarting all claims for strong
or centralized government, and thus put
ting into effect by law that provision in
the Bill OF Rights "that well-regu-
lated militia, composed OF the body of the
people, trained to arms, is the proper,
natural, and safe defence Of free State
that standing armies in times OF peace
should be avoided as dangerous to liberty,
and that In all cases the military should be
under strict subordination to and gov
erned by the civil power" will the Lee
gislature ignore the Constitution and the
wisdom Of the Bill Of Rights aud leave the
volunteer militia to disintegrate, as it must
do, il no assistance is given to it2

THREE HUNDRED HOUSES BLOWN D0wN-CAT-
TIE DROWNED IN THE STREAMS.
Reports, says Rome (Ga.) special Of the
18th, are coming in OF a cyclone which
passed over the northwestern portion OF
the State Wednesday. Trees, fences, and
buildings in the path OF the wind Were
blown down without number. Near Rome
Captain Gordon's barn was blown down
and two mules killed. At Janesboro' the
colored Methodist church was carried
away and several houses unroofed. In the
country it is estimated that not less than
three hundred small houses and negro
cabins were demolished and fifteen hun
dred people rendered homeless. Ten
miles from CovingtoD a colored woman
was picked up bodily by the wind, and af-
ter being carried some distance through
the air was landed in small stream, from
which she was rescued alive, but badly in
jured. Two negro children persisted be-
meath the falling ruins OF cabin In which
they were sleeping.
At Livingston, house in which Il coun-
try dance was in progress was blown down
almost over the heads OF its inmates, but
all escaped serious injuries except young
farmer named Green, whose skull Is sup
posed to have been fractured, and his
death Is almost certain. Following the
cyclone came a rapid rise in the small
streams, which flooded the lowlands fol-
miles, and caused considerable loss OF
cattle by drowning. The financial loss
will probably aggregate 100000.

The Richmond Dispatch Of the 9th con-
tains an article In regard 70 the ores Of
Virginia which should receive the atten-
ton OF every one interested IN the future
welfare OF our State.
Remarks eulogistic Of the amIty existing
between the different sections Of the
Union are all thrown away In the face Of
truths SO entirely at variance with the laws
Of fellowship and union as those pointed
to by the Dispatch.
"In the interest OF the SOUTH" but
breathe that sentence in the year of the
average northen Republican and you call
irto active being all the most vindictive
impulses. Virginia ores are in the main
her hope for future greatness; seeing this,
the northern Republicans, with dlabolical
satisfaction, viii, as the Dispatch says, vote
solidly for admitting foreign ores free Of
duty. Yet there are men in and of the
South who are anxious to further ieopar-
die our interests by urging policy
similar to that which our northern friends
propose to force upon us.-Aileqhdny Sen

Precision I'm the Coinage.

The work Of the Assay Commission in
testing the coinage OF 1883 delivered from
the several minis OF the United States was
continued at philadelphia Thursday. The
several Committees OF Counting, Weigh
ing, and Assay made their reports, the re-
suits OF which were that all the coins the new
law required them to examine were within
limits OF exactness prescribed by law, and
that in fact very few Of them vary from the
standard by even so much as one half the
tolerance" Of margin allowed either in
weight or IN the fineness OF the gold and
silver they contain. The results were,
therefore. declared to be entirely satiSfac-
tory. The commissioners expressed their
greet pleasure at finding such precision in
the coinage. They believed that in this
particular the products OF the American
minis surpass those OF any country in the
world
