ALittle Mournar.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
A communicating dog lying dead
in gutter is repulslve object. Past
such one people were hurrying one
day, when a little boy, thinly clad, and
hobbling on crutch, called: "Here,
Bowser," and then, taking 1.-The stu
alton, dropped his crutch, and kneeling
by the dead cog, cried as if his heart
was broken ooh, Bowser, Is you
dead, and can't go home with me?"
1t took but a moment to change the
expression on faces from one Of con.
tempt to that Of pity and sympathy
The boy was but poor waif, but he
kneeled by the side Of his best-loved
earthly friend, now dead. Merchants
and well-dressed ladies stopped with
kind words to the little mourner.
One gentleman, appreciating the grief
Of the boy, called an expressman, and
told him to take the dead pet to some
place where he could be buried as the
boy might direct, and call upon him
for his pay. The burying Of a dog
is not much, but the binding up the
wounds in the heart Of that poor boy
on his crutch was an act worthy Of
permanent record.

A Beautiful Incident.

A poor Arab, travelling In the desert,
met with a spring Of clear, sweet,
sparkling water. Used as he was only
to brackish wells, such water as this
appeared to his simple mind worthy Of
a monarch, and, filling his leather bot
tie from the spring, he determined to
go and present it to the Caliph himself.
The poor man travelled a long way be-
fore he reached the presence of his
sovereign and laid his humble offering
at his feet.
The caliph did not despise the little
gift, brought to him with so much
trouble. He ordered some of the
water to be poured into a cup, drank
it, and thanking the Arab with a smile,
ordered him to be presented with re-
ward. The courtiers around pressed
forward, eager to taste Of the. wonder
full water, but to the surprise of all,
the caliph forbade them to touch a
single drop.
After the poor Arab had quilted the
royal presence with light and joyful
heart, the caliph turned to his court.
iers and thus explained his conduct :
During the travels of the Arab" said
he, "the water in his leather bottle be.
came impure and distasteful. But il
was an Offering of love. and as such ]
have received it with pleasure. But
well knew that had suffered another
to partake of it, he would not have
concealed his disgust F.; and therefore ]
forbade you to touch the draught, lest
the heart of the poor man should have
been wounded"

Chase After a Jack Rabbit.

Globe Democrat
MOUNT VERNON, ILL, Sept. 2.-Mr.
Daddo, passing my farm this morning,
saw jack rabbit come from the gar
den. He took down the road with all
the speed his horse possessed, but could
scarce keep in sight. Calling on neigh
bors, the chase soon became general.
Our best dogs could not keep in sight
of this Western ranger, and gave up
the chase in disgust, but as he kept in
the road the horsemen finally chased
him down and caught him. He was
pronounced to be thoroughbred jack
rabbit by men who have seen them in
Kansas. Now the curious part comes.

grown, or twice the size Of common
rabbit, with ears fully six inches long,
tipped with black. There never was
anything Of the kind in this country

MADRIB, Sept 7.-Dispatches just
received regarding the German occu-
patton Of Yap, state that the Spaniards
on the island had hoisted the Spanish
flag and had lowered 1t at sunset, as is
customary with all nationalities, and
that Immediately afterward the Ger
man gunboat ran in, landed marines
and sailors, hoisted the German colors
and formally occupied the place, de-
spite the protestations Of the Span
iards. Prince Bismarck has offered to
withdraw the German forces from
Yap, provided Spain will not occupy it
pending a diplomatic solution Of the
question as to SPANS claim Of the
island. Germany will acknowledge
Spanish occupation of Yap provided
Spain proves that the Spanish flag had
been hoisted on the island before the
German gunboat had arrived in the
harbor. The excitement at Madrid

A Good Dog Story.


Salt Lake has one of the most intel
ligent dogs in creation, as the follow
ing story shows: The owner of the
dog is also the proprietor of a COW.
Every morning the dog is started off
to drive the COW to pasture down near
the Jordan. A lunch for the dog is
tied up in a paper and fastened
to his collar. He will drive the
COW to where there is good pas
ture, and on hot days will then lie
down in the shadow she casts, moving
along as the cow moves and thus keep
ing constantly in the shade. He does
not touch his lunch until noon, when
he slips the collar from his head, tears
off the paper and deyours his repast
He will then, with his paws, push the
collar back over his head, and towards
evening starts the COW for home. This
story is vouched for by several persons
who have witnessed the dogs perform
ance; in fact, some of the people in the
vicinity are in the habit Of watching
him every day.

A SHORT time ago a rat got into the
cage of canary belonging to Buffalo
woman and killed the bird. The
woman returned in time to trap the
rat in the cage, and kept it there six
days without food or drink, until it
died of starvation. To further satisfy
her vengeance she would at times
prod the rat with a red-hot knitting
needle. She also tortured it by giving
it some vitriol in spoon and red
pepper pill. 1t is also related that
when it died she cried because she
could no longer punish it.

Diseased Hogs Slaughtered for the
Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, Sept. During the past
week the health inspector condemned
ITO cholera-stricken hogs to the tanks.
Yesterday, in slaughter-house, at the
yards, he condemned twenty-nine that
had been killed and dressed and were
all ready for market. The hogs were
the property of various scalpers who
do business 10 the yards. The heaviest
weighed nearly 200 pounds, and the
smallest was only thirty pounds in
weight. The puffed and discolored
flesh inside and out. and the sickening
smell which attached to the carcassess,
made the discovery an easy matter.
Cholera has never been so prevalent
among hogs at the stock yards as it has
been this season, and scalpers, it is
alleged. instead of endeavoring to
stamp out the disease by refusing to
purchase, deliberately buy the stock in
hope that they can evade the health
inspectors on their regular rounds.
