A BUFFALO dog under a course OF
instruction in carrying articles in its
mouth inadvertently swallowed a sill
yer dollar. The money being out of
its element gave trouble and threaten
ed the life of the valuable animal that
had SO suddenly withdrawn it from
circulation A medical student chic

sewed up the wound. The dog is now
as good as ever; and so is the dollar.
ThE native cunning of the China
man was exhibited during a stage rob-
berry in Oregon lately. Two masked
men armed with revolvers stopped
the stage, ordered the passengers to
dismount, form in line, aud hold up
their hands, an invitation they respond

THERE are only two colored mem
oers Of the West Point corps John
Hanks Alexander. of Ohio. and George
Young, of the same state. Young is
a black, regular-featured lad, with less
Intelligence than Alexander. Young
is not doing rs well as might be wished
for, and his chances for remaining on

white friends in the corps.
