HIS LAST ROLL CALL.
Death of an Intelligent and Faithful Po-
lice Dog.

New York Herald: Niger JIM
died in the Thirteenth street police
station a few days ago, after a long
and faithful service in the ranks Of the
police force.
He was only a dog, but as a guar
dian of the peace he leaves behind
him a record that few can equal and
none excel. He has been attached to
the twenty-ninth precinct police sta
and, according to the statement
OF Sergeant Schmittberger, has
never missed a roll call in that
time. He wandered into the station
house one evening and at once seemed
to consider himself a member of the
force. Directly the bell sounded to
fall in line" jim would head the
line and march into the presence of
his superior officer with q dignity and
cOmposure worthy Of imitation. If
jim was ION PATROL when roll time
came arc and he would mount the sta
tion-house steps and scratch at the
door until it was opened and he was
admitted. Then, announcing his pres
ence by a short, quick bark, he would
fall in" with tail erect, and await the
order to march. When the station
house had become quiet Jim would
curl up by the stove and sleep with a
clear conscience Of having done his
duty.
One evening q "drunk and disorder
ly" was brought in and Doorman
Dempsey stood by the desk waiting to
take him inside. Suddenly he jumped
for Dempsey, and, taking him by the
throat, was fast choking him to death
when jim sprung to his feet, and,
grasping the situation at q glance, re-
Versed things by jumping for the
drunken mans throat and Selling it
in a vise-like grip.
Dempsey was released in an almost
insensible condition, and the prison
er vas locked up.
Niger jim" always, until the last
year or two, went on the "last tour"
with either the sergeant or rounds
man, and it was during one of these
walks. through the precinct that he
made his reputation as a burglar
catcher. Walking one morning, early,
past O. jewelry store Jim's eyes spied
q window with a pane of glass remov-
ed, and, quick as thought, his sprang
inside through the aperature. The
roundsman followed and discovered
Jim in a corner carefully watching the
burglar he had captured. The man had
packed up q quantity OF jewelry, and
but for Jim's timely suspicion would
have escaped with it. He is now
serving time for the attempt.
With some reporters Jim was very
friendly and sociable, but with others
he would growl and bark until they
would depart. Some time ago Jim
was run over by a heavy wagon, his leg
receiving serious injury, but it was
thought, as he llmped out to roll call
regularly, that he would get well, but he
became so i'll that the services of DR..
Bass of West Thirteenth street were
thought necessary, and he was called
in. The doctor did all in his power to
save poor Jim, but without success.
Jim died quietly and peacefully, leav-
ing behind him a name and q record
that will long be remembered in the
twenty-ninth precinct. He is sadly
mourned by the officers of Capt. Will
Jams command, andthe captain and
sergeants will unite in having him
stuffed and handsomely mounted, to
be placed in the back room Of the
station house.

THAT WIFE OF MINE.

Sho met me at the door LASH night,
All dainty, fresh, aud smiling,
And threw her plump arms round me tight
In manner most beguiling.
Then, in her sweet, impulsive way,
She Rugged me, as she kissed me,
And told me how the l~ivelong day
She'd thought OF me, and missed me.
She helped me off with coat and hat,
And led me, still close-clinging,
Into the dining-room, and sat
Down at the table singing.
The meal was perfect; fresh-Cut flow RS,
The freight warm and rosy,
Made all seem bright; swift flew the hours,
And we were, 0! SO coy!
Then, after dinner, she and

Our happiness made earth a Heaven,
And now, as | review it,

Almost before we knew it.
We sat there on the sofa then,
She nesting close beside me,
Softly she smO0thed my hair, and when

She fondly pinChed my cheek, and SO,
Her dimpled hand upon it,
She whispered: Darling, do YOU know

SLAVERY IN ARIzoNA.-Though slavery
has been abolished in this country, there is
something that very strongly resembles it
in existence in Arizona. Living at Arivaca
is an old Mexican named Pedro Aguirte,
who owns several Spanish grants, each II
by Is miles III extent, on which are more
sheep and cattle than he can count Pedro
is very wealthy, and runs things in that
section, and he owns every poor greaser in
that section, body and soul. The way he
gets possession of them is this INDECENT
MexicanS come to him and engage them
selves to do work in return for crackers and
milk He gives them about five cents worth
of crackers and perhaps five cents worth of
milk day, and they are theuceforward
known as his poems, term which has about
the same meaning as slaves These Next
cans go to the surrounding gold diggings
with their horn spoons, carry the pay dirt
TO Arivaca creek and sit there all day spoon

it was Davy Crockett who boosted that he
had kissed every baby in his district Gen.
Sherman's speciality is kissing young VIC
men, of which he has probably done more
than any living American. Most of the
Presidents have been brought with diff
Guilty to the point of kissing babies as an
official duty but some candidates for the
office have passed the ordeal bravely. 1t is
related of General Scott that, having kissed
a pretty baby whom he saw alone, he was
set upon by some forty mothers, each of
whom presented her darling for the same
favor. The General could not escape on
that occasion, but carefully avoided after
wards any act that might lead to indis-
criminate OSCILLATION. Mr. Cleveland has
shown his habitual firmness in declining
the invitations OF fond parents TO kiss their
offspring, though they have sometimes
pressed him closely.h

PACKING THE LUNes WITH AIR.-Deen
breathing and holding the breath is an
item of importance. Persons of weak
vitality fnd an uninterrupted succession of
deep and rapid respiration so distressing
that they are discouraged from preseyering
in the exercise. Let such persons take into
the lungs as much air as they can at a
breath and hold il as long as they can,
they will find a grateful sense OF relief in
the whole abdominal region. Practice viii
increase the ability to hold the breath and
the capacity of the lungs. After time the
art may be learned of packing the lungs.
This is done by taking and holding long
breath and then forcing more air down the
tracbea by swallows of air The operation
may be described By that of iish's mouth
in water. TO those who have never learned
it it will be surprising to what an extent
the lungs may be packed. Caution at first
is needful, but later practice will warrant
large use of the treatment. The whole
thoratic and abdominal cavities will receive
immediate benefit, and continuance, with
temperance in eating, good air and right
exercise, viii bring welcome improvement.
