Last week Mr.. Thorp was getting
ready to move his family from the hotel
at Oak Point, where they have been
spending the summer, back to his resi-
dence in East One Hundred and Six
teenth Street. On Friday night his son
Frank took Leo from Oak Point on the
boat TO his home In Harlem. The dog
had made this trip several times by
water, but had never gone by the road.
Frank locked Leo up in the house and
returned to the Point. The next morn
ing, when Mr.. Thorp visited his house,
Leo was gone. He had torn away with
his paws the shutters on window of the
basement, but had found that iron bars
prevented him from getting out that
way, and had gone upstairs to the front
parlor, where he had ripped off win
dow shutter and jumped through the
thick glass into the front yard, a dis
tance of eighteen feet.
Some boys on the Harlem River, at
One Hundred and Twenty-second
Street, where the Oak Point boat lands,
told Mr.. Thorp that thay had seen the
dog there early that morning. Late
the same morning Mr.. Nagle, who was
OF MS grounds at Oak Point, saw dog
swimming in-shore. He watched him,
and saw him come up dripping on the
beach and fall over on the sand. He
ran down to the water, and found the
dog was Leo. The animal was nearly
dead from exhaustion, and had to be
carried to the boat-house. When Mr..
Thorp arrived from Harlem, he found
Leo so weak that he could hardly lift up
his head
Two young men who had been out
rowing said they had seen the dog
swimming out from the Bronx kilns in
to the sound. Leo was covered with
mud that he had got i'll climbing over
the marshes on the sunken meadows
opposite Port Morris. The distance
Leo swan is over three miles. He has
recovered his strength again, and is now
IN the water most of the time.

Nav Catalogue of Organs.

The Mason Hamlin Organ andiPiano Com
pany have Just issued their new Catalogue Tor
The season Of 1S84-5. It forms handsome Alto
pamphlet of 46 pages, and contains illustra-
tons accurately showing the appearance of all
the STYLES Of organs regularly made by them.
with detailed descriptions of the capacity of
each: together with quite full mention OF the
general modes of construction employed and the
great favor with which their organs have been re-
oeived all over the world; with accounts of their
triumphs at all the great comparisons OF such
instruments at Worlds Industrial Exhibitions
for many years. with pictures of medals, deco
rations and diplomas of honor obtained.
In looking over such catalogue one IS forcl-
bly, reminded of the magnitude which the bust
ness of reed instruments has attained. Twenty
five years since only few were made, under the
name "Melodeons," which had not and did not
deserve much favor with musicians, enjoying
worry limited sale, at prices varying from $40 to
S125 Now $4,000 organs are made yearly IN
the United States, which are sold in all civilized
countries at prices from 1922 to 81 1000 or more.
This at least may bel said to any purchaser of q
Mason & Harnlin organ; he will unquestionably
get the very best instrument of its class which
can be made. Thirty years experience is q
guarantee of what this company can and will
do. They cannot afford to send out poor or
gans.
The present catalogue shows an increased
and very complete assortment, both as to cases
and capacities. 1t will be sent free, to any one
desiring to gee it, on application to the Mason
& Hamlin Organ and Piano Company, Boston,
New York, or Chicago.-[ Boston Traveller.

A Foe in the Air.

A foe, all the more dangerous because unseen
turks in the air of every locality where malaris
is developed by marsh mists, noxious gases, OF

mittent, dumb ague, and the forms of fever which
assume q typhoid character are its products
There is no safety, even for the most vigorous
constitution, unfortiied against this insidious
foe, and the danger to persons of a bilious habit
or feeble constitution, is doubly great. Protec-

Wanted The North Star.
[From the Minnesota Bazoo. !


The new telephone girl was on deck
yesterday. There was ''balloa" and q
voice said, ST want the north star"
"Well, you ought to have it," she
snapped.

The ResectiOn of Bones.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch. ]

One of the first instances of the re-
section of bones was after the battle ssof
Chicamauga, where there were an i'm
mense number of wounds in arms and
hands, received while in the act of load
ing guns. A young man who had been
shot through the arm and the humerus
shattered by a small-sized bullet,
wanted to know of the surgeon if there
was no way of saving his arm, as he
would pro oably need his arm after he
got well. The old surgeon said there
was nothing but to cut the arm off
''slick and Clean" His assistant, a
young man, however, said he thought
he could fix it and he did. He took out
a four-inch section of the bone, iamned
the two ends together, bandaged the
arm carefully, and in four weeks time
the bones were united and the soldier
was discharged with an arm, shorter,
tits true, than the other, but not nearly
so short as it would otherwise have
beer and hand that was almost as
good as ever it was.

OF almost every known variety; alsC
the O'Banion & Kent orchard of eight,
acres, for which $4,000 advance ha
been offered and refused.

CHARITY.

The rich man gave his dole, not ill-content
To find his heart still moved by human woe;
The poor man to his neighbor simply lent
The scanty savings he could scarce forego.
The one passed on and asked to know no more;
The others wife all night, with pity brave,
That neighbor's dying child was bending DER,
And never deeming 1t was much she gave.
Oh God forgive us that we dare to ask
Solace of costless gifts and fruitless signs
Scorn on the sight that shuns the unwelcome task,
The dole that lacks the salt of sacrifice
No gilded balm the crushing weight can lift;
No soothing sigh the maddening woe can cure:
TITS love that gives its wealth to every gift;
III would the poor man fare without the poor.

DIR. S. B. BRITAIN says: "As rule
physicians do not by their professional methods
build up the female constitution. and they

liable in our variable climate and under our

to strengthen the enfeebled powers of woman

persons outside Of the medical profession.
Among the very best Of these remedies 1 assign

Of war, says that the condition of the militia
in the several states is generally FAVORABLE.

measure to further develop and improve the
efficiency Of the militia. He says the action
of congress increasing the number of officers
to be detailed for duty in giving military in
structions at military colleges, has proved
great benefit. He recommends legislation
by congress authorizing the retirement of en-
listed men after thirty-fve years service with
seventy-fve per cent. pay, and allowances at
the time of retirement. In regard to term of
service he says the reduction Of the first

club were present and about twenty new
members were enrolled Mr. J. B. Olivier
presided.
After routine business Mr. A. Martin,
editor of ''Le Canadten,'' being invited to
address the club, made stirring speech in
which he demonstrated how and why the
French population has always been in favor.
of Democratic principles and rules.
He illustrated by many quotations and
proofs the anti-French spirit of the RepubIi-
can party and especially of their standard
bearer Mr. Blaine.
Mr.. Martin passed briefly in review the
career OF the man the Republicans want to
give to this country as president; his venal-
ity was fully dwelt upon and humorously
illustrated. Mr.. Martin is an able, fluent
and witty speaker
The local Democratic ticket was strongly
recommended to the members as being COM
posed of respectable, competent and influen-
tial men. The speech, which lasted for an
hour, was frequently interrupted and fol-
lowed by bursts of applause from members.
The meeting then adjourned to meet Friday
at the same hall. Several orators will adj
dress the club in English and French.
