Risking His Life to Save His Dog.
Dntrnif pnet and Taih,.nn

At s O'Clock last night a man stepped
on board the ferry boat at the foot of
Woodward avenue and his bulldog trotted
in front of him. The dog continued his
trot to the other side of the boat and
jumped off on to the slush Ice in the river.
The dog went through head first and
struggled desperately to get back to the
surface.
Without a moments hesitation the
owner of the brute leaped from the boat.
seized his property by the tail and held
fast. The boat hands hurriedly threw
him life preserver and shouted for him
to catch hold, hut the fellow sung out:
''Save the dog first" Accordingly the
sympathetic deck-hands fished the bull
dog out first and left his master clinging
to a large chunk of ice. When the dog
was safe they put a pike-pOle into the
master and drew him, drenched with ice
cold water, to the deck. A few minutes
after, the water was running in streams
from the man to the floor, as he thawed
out before the steam adiator in the sa-
loon. 'My name is JONES'" said he, as he
looked into a tumbler half full of whisky
''Peter Jones; Pm nervy; nerve is what
does it. rather drown than lose that
dog" and he swallowed the whisky,

1t was a refrigerator car that rolled
slowly up Fourth avenue about noon yes

ical-looking man in a white necktie was
so busily occupied with a tract labeled
"Sinner, repentr" that he tailed to notice
for some time that an attenuated woman,
of obvious Teutonic extraction, was cling

Bracelets for Men.

A decided innovation in mems fashions
is the bracelet. Many men have worn
these ornaments in their lives, but they
were made of steel. But that bracelets
will be worn by men from choice has
already been decided by the goddess which
makes style for the upper middle classes.
The large jewelry firms have met the FASH
ion half way, and have got some splendid
styles. Cuffs and cOatsleeYes will be cut
short so that the ornament can be shown
to advantage. This new decision makes
1T easy for ladies to decide what to give
their gentlemen friends and relations.
A handsome pair of bracelets can be
had for $500, and the recipient will be
even better pleased than if he had receiv-
ed his annual slippers. But no lady need
limit herself on that account, as higher
priced bracelets may be bought.

Moral Philosophy in Philadelphia.


While the head needs the heart to give
warmth and vitality to its ideas, the heart
equally needs the head to give wisdom,
calmness, order and strength to direct its
impulses and embody It's desires. Feeling
without knowledge is like ship without
a rudder or a horse without bride. Un-
intelligent emotions may drift us into all
kinds of excuses, and their unrestrained
ebb and flow render all steady growth i'm
possible. The stronger and the more in
tense they are themore urgently do they
need the guidance of clear thought, we'll
informed mind, and a strong will.
The best benevolence is that which re-
lies upon both these influences, and so
blends them as to form the habit of right
doing. For, after all, it is the constant
repetition of right actions which builds up
a noble character.

Mad. AIbOni and the whistle.

Hamburger FreWndenbLdtt.
The celebrated artistic, Marietta Alboni,
was noted for her courage and sdnQfrOid.
The eve of performance to be given in
Triest she was informed of the existence
of plot to hiss her off the stage. Having
ascertained the names of her detractOrs
and where they could be found, she donned
male attire, her tall, robust figure and
short hair assisting to complete the dis
guise, and went to the cafe where the
oonspirators held their rendezvous. She
found them in full consultation. After
listening awhile the artistic addressed the
ringleader as follows: II hear that you
intend to play a trick on somebody. l am
very fond of practical joke myself, and
should be glad if you would allow me to
join you on this occasion" 'sWith
pleasure" was the reply. "We intend to
hiss an operatic singer off the stage this
evening"" ''Indeedl What has she
been guilty Off" go, nothing; except
that, being an Italian, she has sung in
Vienna and Munich to German audiences,
and we think she ought to receive some
slight castigatlon for her unpatriOtic con-
duct" IL quite agree with you; and now
please to tell me what / have to dO?'
"Take this whistle. At a signal to be
given at the conclusion of the air sung by
Rosina the noise will begin, in which you
have only to join" II shall do so without
in her pocket. The following evening the
house was crowded from floor to ceiling.
The opera was ''Il Barbiere di Seviglia.'
The opening airs, sung by Almaviva and
Figaro, both favOrites of the public. were
received with great applause. Then Nine.
Alboni, as Rosina, appeared on the stage.
AT the moment when she was about to ad-
dress her tutor a few of the conspirators
began to set up a row without waiting for
the signal. The artistic, without showing
the slightest concern, advanced to the foot
lights and, holding up the whistle, which
was attached to her neck by a ribbon,
said, with knowing SMILE "Gentlemen,
are you not little before your time? |
thought we were not to commence whist
ling until after had sung the air." There
was death-like stiffness. Then suddenly
laundering applause, begun by the con
spiratOrs themselves, resOunded from all
parts of the house. Alboni had gained
the day; she was called eleven times be-
fore the curtain, and received showers of
wreaths and bouquets.

A ISLANDER Refuted.

When Mrs. Uhler committed SUI
icide the Associated Press of New
York flooded the country with
dispatches to the effect that since
the killing of Haverstick, she had
lived in various houses of i'll fame.
The Herald now contradicts this
statement and says regarding the
recent history of Mrs. Uhler: All
the evidence pointed toward the
sincerity. of her penitence since her
return to New York. She lived
in houses of the utmost respecta-
bility, and while she had been
queer in some regards, and at times
doubtless given to the use of NOR
phine and opium. this is the only
fault which can be proven against
her.

The Courier suggests that the first duty of the incoming legis- lature should be to order an in vestigation of the present man. agement of the Territorial prison. The SENTINEL heartily concurs. Within the last year there has been a great deal of improvement in that institution, and the true condition of affairs should be brought out and put before the public. They are just as much entitled to a report where there is favorable showing as where the reverse is the order. The prison is a public institution, and the people have the right to sec how it is conducted.

The acme of hippodroming has been reached by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Last Sunday he announced in his pulpit that at the close of the services the distinguished viOliniSt, Reminyi, would discourse few sacred airs as a farewell to this country. The great divine also remarked that king David, who was sort of Wandering Jew, used to play the fiddle for Gods sake, and he thought it ought to be good enough for his congregation. The great telegraphic press. without which life would be unindurable, thus tell us uf the affecting seen !: "Those who desired 10 go after service were afftctionately invi- ted to go, and those who wished to stay and hear the wandering minstrel of Hungary were affec- tionateIy requested to stty. After the benediction almost the entire congregation remained. Beecher tried to induce Remenyi to sit and play on the pulpit platform, but the Violinist, With characte- ristic modesty, seated himself on the steps. He played a con- certed piece first, and followed it with an air on one string, closing with the Hungarian national hymn. Beecher rebuked the applause which followed the first piece, saying he would not think il tribute if one of his prayers were applauded, and many pieces of sacred music were prayers
 without words. A fter Remenyi had finished, Beecher wished for him as hearty a welcome home as he had'received in this coun. try, where he had delighted sc many thousands with his music.''

There seems to be a general feeling that the bill granting pensions to the Mexican War veterans will be favorably acted upon by the Senate. Notice was recently given by Senator Williams of Kentucky that he would call the bill up at an early date, and there appears to be a popular approval of the measure which will cause the Senate to promptly ratified the action of the House. It is a matter of sur prise that such a bill has not long since become alaW.
