A telegram to the New York .Ss,,, from Nyack,
June Is, says: On May 10, as Andrew Dorfner,
jr., aged nineteen years. an only son. was going
to church in Piermont, he was bitten twice in
the calf OF the leg by a mongrel dog belonging
to James Saryent- His father says:
"When my boy came home and told me what
had happened 1 treated the wound with salve
and caustic, and told Andrew to get some OF the
dogs hair to bind on his leg He did not do this
at once, and his leg was swollen aud he was
lame for two weeks. Then 1t broke out like the

The Queens Personal Appearance.
London Letter TO the Chicago Herald.
The queen, who looked, as 1 thought, ex-
tremely gracious. when Mrs. Astor and Mrs
White were introduced at the drawing-room ,
was the centre figue in n setting of dazzling
brilliance. Mixed with tolettes inexpressibly
gorgeous in hue, texture and Recommendation,
white shoulders and rounded arms. were the
varied uniforms OF men. i'm all the hUes of the
rainbow. The flashes of diamonds, the glitter
Of gold and Jewels, the background OF artisti-
cally draped and brightly colored walls, the
gentle ripple of movement and the softly
falling music dreamily echoing from distant
corridors made up altogether very satisfying
program. The queen, who is perfectly well
aware that she looks her best in the shades of
widowhood. wore black satin. From the regal
coronet, which sparkled with hundreds of
diamonds and pearls set i'm fine gold, flowed a
majestic white tulie veil. The royal throat was
encircled with q wOndrous necklace OF glorious
pearls four rows deep, and in the tiny ears were
diamonds emitting the purest rays. The royal
person fairly blaZed with ribands, stars and
orders, and am free to confess, impuden t
republican though l am, that Victoria pre-
sented a Queenly and majestic figure on which
the eye dWelt with instructive respect. She is
the picture OF wholesome woman who feeds
well, sleeps well, thinks well, and is favored
with sound mind and healthy body.
He Had Been There Himself. Perhaps.
From the Lewiston (Me) Journal
One day, when a member OF our party had
landed an unusually large fish, our guide sug-
gested that we put a lot of lead inside OF him.
Load him so he'll weigh down." said he.
That's the way all of 'em do" The owner of
the fish spurned this proposition. An amusing
happening occurred when the big fish was dis
played on the piazza and duly weighed before
the congregation. A gray-haired sportsman
coolly felt Oh the fishs belly to if there might
be anything inside of him that did not balonr
