.ADROIT SMUGGLING.

Who would have imagined that dog
had been made serviceable as a traveller,
and thus earned for his master upward
of 100000 crownsP And yet, an Incl
dent like this happened upward of thirty
years ago.
One of those Industrious beings, vino
know how to make chaldron of Goals
out of billet of wood, determined, in
extreme poverty, to engage in trade.
He preferred that kind of MERCHANDISE
which occupied the least space, and was
calculated to yield the greatest profit.
He borrowed small sum of money from
a friend, and, repairing to Flanders, he
there bought pieces of lace, which, with
out any danger, he smuggled into
France in the following manner:
He trained an active spaniel to his
purpose. He caused him to be shaved,
and procured for him the skin Of another
dog, of the same hair and Of the same
shape. He then rolled the lace around
the body of his dog, and put over it the
garment of the stranger so adr oitly tina
it was impossible to disco er the trick.
The lace being thus arranged in his pc
destrian bandbox, he would say to his
docile messenger, Forward, my
friend" At these words the dog would
start, and pass boldly through the gates
of Malines and Valenciennes in the face
of the vigilant officers placed there to
prevent smuggling. Having passed the
bounds, he would wait for his master OF
q little distance in the open country.
There they mutually caressed and feast
ed, and the merchant placed his pack
age in a place of security, renewing his
occupation as necessity required.
Such was the success of the smuggler
that in five or six years he amassed a
handsome fortune and kept his carriage.
Envy pursues the prosperous; q mis-
chievous neighbor betrayed the lace
merchant, and, Notwithstanding his ef-
forts to disguise his dog, he was sus-
pected, watched and discovered.
+ How far does the cunning Of some ami
mails extend Did the spies of the Gus
tom House expect him at one gate, he
saw at distance, and instantly went
toward the other. Were the gates shut
against him he overcame every obstacle
sometimes he leaped over the wall, al
others passed secretly behind carriage,
or, running between the legs Of travel
ers, he would thus accomplish his aim
One day, however, while swimming {
stream near Malines, he was shot, ant
died in the water. There was then abou
him 100000 crowns worth Of lace, thu
loss of which did not afflict the master
but he was inconsolable for the loss o
his faithful dog.

FAMILIAR PHRASES.
Orinin of q Ee,r of Them.


The origin of phrases is curious and
interesting, and speculations in regard
to their origin are very common. The
common phrase, Catching a Tartar"
has its origin variously stated. Crosse,
the antiquarian, says it came out of
story of an Irish soldier in the imperial
service, who, in a battle against the
Turks, called out to his comrades that
he had caught a Tartar. "Bring him
along, then," was the reply. "He won't
eome," answered Paddy. "Then come
along yourself" said his comrade. To
which the Hibernian responded, "Ah,
but he won't let me-"
"You cannot say boo to goose"
How often have persons relieved their
feelings of irritation at the weakness of
others by hurting this phrase at them !
Had the latter only known its origin
they could have been paid back in their
own coin. The origin is this When
Ben Jonson, the dramatist, was intro
duced to a nobleman, the peer was so
struck with his homely appearance that
he exclaimed, "What? you are Ben
Jonson? Why, you look as if you could
not say bool to a goose" "Boo |" ex-
claimed that witty dramatist, turning to
the peer and making his bow.
The phrase Putting the cart before
the horse" can boast of great antiquity,
having first been quoted by Lucian, the
great Greek writer, nearly 1,700 years
ago. Francis Rabelais, the French satir-
list and wit, whose "Gorgantua" was
published in the year 1888, has the
phrase "He placed the carriage before
the steed." No derivation of it can be
given, but the meaning is very obvious,
and refers to those who begin to do
thing at the wrong end. ~ have a
bone to pick with you" is phrase that
is uncomplimentary to the ladies at start
ing. 1t means, as iswen known, having
an unpleasant matter to settle with you,
and this is the origin of the phrase: At
the marriage banquets of the Sicilian
poor, the brides father, after the meal,
used to hand the bridegroom bone,
saying: "Pick this bone, for you have
taken in hand a harder task" .-'.
The well-known saying that a shoe
maker should stick to his last originated
with Appelles, the celebrated Greek
painter, who set picture which he had
finished in public place and concealed
himself behind it, in order to hear the
criticisms of passers-by. A shoemaker
observed defect in the shoe, and the
painter forthwith corrected it. The cob
bier came sgain the next day, and, en-
couraged by the success of his first re-
mark, began to extend his censure to
the leg OF the figure, when the angry
painter thrust out his head from behind
the picture and told the shoemaker to
keep to his trade.
"There's good time coming, boys a
good time coming" was written thirty
years ago by DR.. Charles Mackay, and
sung with very great popularity by
Henry Russell in his concerts Throughout
the British islands.

"THE topic of universal interest at
W, hington, " telegraphs the Chicago
Tribune correspondent, "has been the
of the autopsy. However
excusable the errors of diagnosis made
by the attending surgeons, tits none the
less true as fact that they have treated
the case from the start in entire ignor
ance of the true character of the injury.
1t is almost incredible that a group Of
intelligent and experienced surgeons,
having large familiarity with gunshot
wounds, should have gone on exploring,
cleansing and dressing a burrowing
abscess for eight or ten weeks, while the
gunshot wound which they were sup
posed to be treating was left entirely
alone to the curative powers Of unas-
sisted nature. From day to day we had
bulletins more or less explicitly stating
the vicissitudes of the so-called wound.
DR.. Woodward was putting his
microscope onto the pus and
taking photographs of the interesting
aspects thus brought to light. The
catbeter was going up and down, now
four inches, now twelve, now only three
or four, and the wound was said to be
healing to suit. The granulations were
reported upon, and the nature Of the
healing, whether from the ball outward
or otherwise, was discussed and an
nounced by the doctors in charge time
upon time and with great confidence.
The latest and most ingenious appliances
of science were brought into requisi-
ton, and the location of the ball sup
posed to be ascertained with reasonable
certainty and accuracy. DIR. Bliss
claimed that the Bell experiments had
been entirely successful, and that they
had verified the united theory of the
doctors that the ball was located
in the lilac region. Its position was
stated in half and quarter inches, ex-
cept that it did come out later than the
depth OF the ball from the surface was
not so nicely understood. And now it
appears that the ball was half way across
the body, in quite another direction,
and that the path of the bullet was al
most at right angles with the long alb.
ssess which they were treating in its
stead. But the autopsy upsets more
than the doctors Immediately concerned
in the case. In many particulars il
makes the criticisms of outside physi
clans as ridiculous as the statements o
those in charge. For instance, man!
claimed, with warmth, that TIN
ball was not encysted, and wal
q constant source of irritation an(
danger. Now it appears that the bal
was completed encysted and the wounc
practically healed. The great consola
ton in il all, and the one which vii
protect the doctors in charge from
fierce howl of indignation all over tn
world, is the apparent certainty that tn
wound as now understood was necessari
ly mortal. Had it been simply in itsel
comparatively slight injury, and on
which, under prompt, intelligent AM
correct treatment, could have been sue
cessfully COPIED with, one can hardl
, conjecture the effects of popular grie
and rage. But it is evident that tn
President was fated. The only wonde
lis that he lived SO long"

A Word TO FATHERS.

Love is capricious, and the pretty,
well-dressed girl Of 81, for whom you,
the father, have kept handsome house
and grounds, so that some worthy young
gentleman Of good means may be at
tracted toward her for the background
of apparent wealth, is no better in the
market of marriage than the girl who is
not surrounded so. In fact, if you wish
that your girl should be married off
your hands, she will be more attractive,
and less for sale. if she appears as her
self in all her own maidenly adomments
of prettiness, taste, education, without
the help of your house and grounds. II
she prides herself upon what you ap-
pear to lend her only during that period
when her lover is coming to your fine
house and grounds for her she may be-
come hypocrite; while if you bring no
lover to her through any aid of yours,
and permit her to love some one who
has not stepped within your gate, she
may marry happily and live, not in
your house, but the cottage which lie
planned without seeing you.

ABoUr THE MAGNETIC NEEDLE.


Why the magnetic needle points to
the north is thus explained by Prof. O.
7. Patterson, of the United States Coast
Survey. The earth is itself magnet,
and attracts the needle just as ordinary
magnets do, and it is found to be affected
by the action of the sun in manner
not yet fully understood. The magnetic
poles of the earth ale not in line with
the geographical poles, but make an
angle with them of nearly twenty-three
degrees. At the present time the north
crn magnetic pole is near the Arctic cir
Gle, ON the meridian of Omaha, and,
from the nature Of the case, the pole
may better be described as a region
rather than a fixed point. The needle
does not everywhere point to the true
astronomical north, but varies within
certain limits. At San Francisco it
points seventeen degrees east of north,
and at Calais, Me-, as much to the west.
At the northern magnetic pole a>bal-
anced needle points with It's north end
downward in plumb line; at San Fran
cisco it dips about sixty-three degrees,
and at the southern magnetic pole the
south end points directly down. The
action of the earth upon a magnetic
needle at its surface is of about the
same force as that of hard steel mag
net forty inches long, strongly magnet
lied, at q distance of one foot. 1t is
very probable that a study of dynamo
electric machines, now so much used in
the electric illuminations, will reveal
soon some far-reaching truths regarding
magnetism in general.

JOHN BRIGHT is opposed to capital
punishment. In speech before the
University College Debating Society re-
Gently, he said the infiction seemed to
him policy as unchristian as it was un-
philosophical, which, so far as he could
Judge of the experience of other coun-
tries, had failed so far and so long as it
had been persisted in. 1t seemed to
him that there could be no plan less OPP
posed to teaching men the sacredness OF
human life than that of the ordinary and
frequent sacrifice of human life to the
law. He was glad they had resolved to
discuss this subject, so that hereafter
they might swell the public opinion
which would compel Parliament at last
to bring our practice up to our princi-
pies, and to the practice of some dozen
other civilized nations. Mr.. Bright ap-
proves, it is believed, the policy so earn
estly advocated by Matthew Davenport
Hill and others, of the absolute seclu-
sion of murderers from the world. Ho
would advocate life Imprisonment and
separate confinement, making pardon
impossible except on evidence of error
in the previous trial.
