We have received the following in
terestng narrative from correspon-
dent in Grcenock, who thus writes:
"a remarkable case of life-saving by a
dog occurred last summer in Greenock,
in a timber pond attached to Il saw
mill. The strip of land upon which
the sawmill is built presents frontage
of about fifty yards to the public street.
and extends fully two hundred yards
towards the Clyde. Two-thirds OF the
ground is wet ground that is, ground
entirely covered by water when the
tide is in. Three sides OF this portion
are incloscd by stout paling. through
which inclosure the tide ebbs and flows.
The fourth side is formed by perpen-
dcular embankment of four feet deep.
which also forms the termination of
the dry ground. The inclosure, or
pond as it is called, is used for stor-
ing timber atloat. At high water. the
floating timber and dry ground are
nearly level. And as at the time of the
following incident the pond was closely
packed with timber. there seemed at
high water to be little apparent differ
cnce between dry ground and wet
ground.
"For several days two dogs Of the
bull-terrier kind, whose owners were
at work in one or other of the adjoin-
ing ship-yards, were enjoying them
selves in their masters absence by
chasing each other in play, rushing
impetuously hithcr and th.iher, some
times along the street, occasionally
making dart into the yard round
about the sawmill, and as suddenly
disappearing again-out into the street
and up one Of the many closes at hand.
One Of these charges led to a rather
sudden and somewhat disastrous termi-
nation. 1t was high water. In at the
gate of the sawmill premises rushed
the two dogs, the one close at the
heels of the other, across the yard and
on to the floating timber. One of
them was soon made aware of the
instability of its footing by its slipping
into the water between the logs which
were floating few inches apart. The
two logs between which the dog fell
were floating on their corners, and
therefore formed slope on each side
like the letter V, which caused the dog
to slip back into the water at every et-
fort TO scramble on to the top side
of its temporary prison wall. Its more
fortunate companion retreated to dry
ground; but on seeing the struggles Of
its friend, it at once returned, and, by
intelligent gesture, invited it to terra
firma. The efforts of the unfortunate
dog were of no avail, still it perse-
vered, during which time the other
had twice returned from dry land. On
making the third visit it seemed to
grasp the situation, for with its teeth
it at once caught its submerged COM
panion by the back OF the neck and as
sisted so etlectually as to enable it to
scramble out of the water and join in
another romp, but not within sawmill
premises. They were never afterward
seen within the gate, coniining their
fun to the streets on all subsequent oc-
casions.
1T may be of interest to note that it
was u male dog which fell into the
water. the other, lis rcscuer, was of
the gentcr sex. - ChaHJers' Journal.

IX-President Arthur.

Ex-Presidcnt Arthur has none of the
prevailing Anglomana, SO far as
know, writes New York correspond
ent to the Utica Observer, and yet he
was strictly English in the style OF his
whiskers and the longings OF his appe-
tite. Before his election to the vice
presidency he used to eat most of his
midday luncheons in a downtown
chop-house of the London sort; and
since his return TO private citizenship
have seen him several times over his
steak or chop and Bass in the same old
place. Arthur has not yet appeayed in
court in resumption of his law practice,
but he Is regularly in the offices of his
firm, and the understanding is that his
services are in fair demand. Having
been the collector IN the port, and
therefore familiar with the laws and
usages of the custom-house, he expects
to strike right into rcmunerative cases
Involving Importers troubles. That
there was difference of opinion as to
what share of the firms profits he de-
served was proved by the fact that up
to within few days Of the issue Of q
circular announcing the copartnership

"Onc hundred and oighty-SiX pounds

"Any fatP"

This dialogue plunged the dude into
the most profound thought For at
least quarter of an hour he did not
say word. but continued to stare at
the man across the table. Then with
another great effort he said:
"Can you lick SulliyanP'
NO." said Mike slowly.
"Why cant you?' said the dude
irritably.
Con he is too much for me,' said
the plug, showing the respect in which
he held John l.. sullivan in every line
of his ugly mug.
"Well, you're n fine plum, you are, !"
said the dude contcmpIuously. "What
good are you anyhow
The heelcr did not say anything, but
sat smoking composcdly.
"Mikc," said the dude, after an
other long pause, 'you make me very
weary"
The big man across the table con-
tinued to look ut his mastor calmly,
until that youngstcr gathered enough
energy to decide that he ought TO go
home, and together the two men went
out and climbed into cab which was
waiting for them at the door. This
goes to show one of the uses of the
hecler. | should think it would be
