A Southern Dog-Pound.


The Charleston Is. C.) NeWs tells this
story of the dog-pound in that city
while the reporter and the policeman
were talking very small white boy,
bare-footed and wearing only a kilt,
lodged under the club OF the policeman
at the door and went up to the pound.
He stood near the pound and with tears
in his eyes cried out Billy The call
was answered by shaggy little terrier,
which had evidently been asleep, but
which was aroused by the familiar name
and came at once to the rail, wagging
his little stump tail, and the recognition
was mutual. The little fellow wanted
his dog, but the stern official at the
round table informed him that he would
have to pay two dollars before he would
be allowed TO take his pet away. The
law having been explained to the
youngster, he dried his eyes, wiping
away the tears on the cuff of his kilt,
ana, starting out, said: Mister, please
don kill Billy till come back. I've
got the money in my savings bank an
I'm going to get it ,"

An Ind an explorer in the employ oi
the Indian Survey has returned from
four years journeying in Thibet. dur
ing which he spent a year in Lhasa,
the capital of Thibct, and the Rome OF
Buddhism. Before this traveller only
four Europeans in this century have
visited Lhasa. Hue and CADET, the
French miss onaries, were driven from
the city forty years ago, after living
there a few months. Moorcroft was
killed after he left the city, and an
other traveller was permitted to remain
there only a few days. He says the
city is crowded with temples, and has
its Vatican in the monastery at Patola,
where the Dalai Lama lives, who is re-
garded as the incarnation of Buddha.
The building is sLrmounted by five
g lded cupolas, which, when sparkling
in the sunlight. present a dazzling
spectacle. 1t contains numerous i'm
ages, one of which is seventy feet high.
During the fest walls in the middle OF
February the Thibetans gather at
Lhasa from all over the country TO pay
homage to all the gods and goddesses
who are supposed to be present. These
ceremon es last about month. at the
end of which all the citizens are con-
sidered to have become purified for an
other year.-N T. Post.

The archives of the Government at
Washington contain many curious COM
munications. but none, probably, pos
sess a more romantic interest than the
ollowing. which your correspondent
was permitted to read yesterday by
Treasury Department official. 1t was
Q letter which accompanied a large
sum of money as a contribution to the
conscience fund. The writer began by
stating that in the year 1866 he was a
passenger on the steamship Henry
Chaunccy. New York TO San Francisco.
He was a telegraph operator, and un-
der engagement to the California state
Telegraph Company. During the voy-
age he became acquainted with gem
tleman who was known to his fellow
passengers as Charles Edmund Hast
ings. A fast friendship grew up be-
tween him and the writer. Upon their
arrival In San Francisco, they put up
at the same hotel, and occupied djoin-
ing rooms. What followed is here
gwen in the writer's own words;
1.-The next day l reported for duty.

office. The description of Emmons
tailed exactly with that Of my friend
Hastings, and in some indeiinable
manner, became convinced that he
and the defaulter were one and the
same person. Upon the impul'e of
the moment slipped the message into
my pocket. When | returned to tho
hotel I handed it to Hastings. and
asked him to read it. | then told him
my suspicious. Without going ton
deeply into particulars, he confessed
everything. 1t was the old story.
He had sunk every dollar he possessed
in Wall street and in an evil moment
had used the funds of the Office until
detection stared him in the face. He
started for New Orleans. but, hearing
that the police were on his

While search was being made for him
in the South, he was rapidly steamng
away to the Pacific Slope. At the ex-
piration of several weeks they had
probably found new clue, which had
resulted in the sending of the telegram
in question. Hastings begged me not
to expose him, and promised that under
a new name and in new country he
would begin life over and in a few
years make good the Governments
loss. promised silence, and he disap-

the dinner table.
1t chanced that there figured upon the
bill of fare that day roast bear meat,
which was served as sort OF rarity,
and Just as the newcomer sat down,
some was ordered by a party of three
gentlemen opposite, who were prompt

heed to the order.

place for five minutes, the chairs on
either side of him having been immedi-
ately turned up, lest some guest equally

minutes he grabbed hold of waiter
who was passing behind him.

with the same sublime contempt.

hold of the heavy dining plates that
were laid on either side of him and
dashed one after the other down vio-

smashed them into pieces, brought the

him in an instant. and started some of
his immediate neighbors to'their feet in

arm, "kin get waited on in this hyar

before him.

obsequious waiter.
"Yes, take that" pointing to the
gold eagle that still remained on the
