A Strange Dog Story.

a Lewiston attorney is backed up by a
Lewiston physician in his assertion that the
following dog story is absolutely true the
occurrence having come under the obser-
walton of the physician at Old Orchard this
summer, and related to the attorney upon
honor; An intelligent dog was afflicted
with feas. They clouded his existence if
we may believe appearances, since for four
fifths of the time the intelligent dog was
tied up in a double bowknot fighting the
smaller and less intelligent but more nim-
BILE feas He had chewed the hair from
his sides, and his eye was lack-luster. The
angry canine decided TO take bath in the
waves of the ocean, and in so doing dis
covered that, as the sea water heightened
upon his legs and sides and back, the tleas
fled before it as. ever, the wicked flee. Soon
after the dog was seen backing out of the
water, smile growing over his counte-
nance as an idea took possession of him. He
was next seen with huge wad of cotton
in his mouth. With this, lifted aloft, he
backed slowly out The fieas crawled
higher as the sea water rose about him.
They occupied his back and then his head
made uncomfortable as they were by the
salt water. Then at last as the dogs head
sank very slowly beneath the waves the
multitude vacated it, jumping to the wad
of cotton that was floating Just at the dogs
nose. The heas foated away forever on
the tickle wad of cotton, while the dog

APanther,s Leap of Death.

The panther was half cautering, half
bounding toward the friendly shelter which
he had marked, and rapidly shaking off
his stiffness and increasing his distance
from US. We all turned to Yussuf, who
was a perfect picture, as he sat with his
spear held high in the air on his half-rear
ing horse, whose eyes sparkled with the
same excitement as his masters. The pan
ther had got between three and four hun
bred yards start, when Yussuf shouted
Rider We sat down to our work and
tore in pursuit.
As we expected, Ma ckinnon and Yussuf
quickly shot ahead; but the stride of the
Waller gave the latter the advantage, and,
besides he was rather on the right, the
side towards which the panther was bend
ing, and had thus less ground to go over
Johnson was bad third; but his cool and
experienced eye had marked the panther's
probable line. and his fine Workmanship
enabled him to save every inch of ground
and would probably bring him up at the
critical moment. The rest of us could only
say that we had an excellent view of the
chase, as we toiled in the rear.
Mackinnon, with his spear ready for the
thrust, was rapidly gaining on the panther,
who looked over his shoulder and seemed
to calculate whether he could cover the
half mile which lay between him and safety
before the laundering hoofs behind him
should be along side. All at once he
stopped in his gallop and couched, almost
facing his pursuer, with bristles erect and
glaring eyes. The Walers heart failed
him when he found himself face to face
with the defiant beast. The horse SHE'D to
one side, crossed his legs and made ire
mendous stumble on to his nose. Mac
kinnon, VINO had been leaning forward
with poised spear, was thrown on to his
horses ears. The panther's spring was de-
livered and felt my heart sink. Suddenly
could l believe my eyes? l could have
sworn that there was no one on the plain
moment before-there was native at Mac
kinnon's horses head, whose ready hand
on the bride had saved the Waller from
falling. The panther's spring had missed
in consequence, and the lad managed to
regain his seat. Yussufs ready spear
passed through the spotted body as he shot
past. and a minute afterward Johnson gave

A Cadet who swooued,

Nine. BarrioS is q beauty. She is of the
genuine South American type. According
to our ideas she lacks hight and there is
too much of her aquiline nose. But she has
an air of magnificent distinction, and the
most superb eyes and the richest and most
melting voice in the world. l shouldn't
say that she was crushed under the loss of
Barrios. think she grieves decorously, in
black lace and diamonds. She is said
to be only "a, and may be, as South
American women don't long retain their
girlishness. Of the seven children three,
including the cadet, are her stepchildren.
Her own four are little tots, dressed oddly,
but always picturesquely. Nine. Barrios
as magnificent jewels. Her collection of
diamonds is said to rival the European
crown jewels. But she does not wear
many of them now only diamond comb,
that blazes like an electric light, and a pair
of solitaire earrings as big as hickorynuts.
One afternoon lately just as she had
stepped out of her carriage and taken her
seat on one of the benches facing the
grassy plain where the parade was formed,
a cadet, standing in the middle of the line
near the colors, suddenly fell full length
on the grass. 1t is no uncommon thing for
them to faint after hard days drilling,
particularly when it is warm and the belts
around their slim waists are strapped I'M
usually tight. 1t was soon known to be
young Barrios. Nine. Barrios uttered a
little cry and flew to the edge of the
path skirting the parade ground. She
is said to be very affectionate to
this step-son, and certainly showed
motherly solicitude Meanwhile his belt
had been unfastened, his coat opened, and
while one cadet famed him vigorously,
another ran for water to the officers
quarters close by. The line stood notion
less-nothing short of judgment day could
move that soldierly corps. The young fell
low lay at full length, as still and white as
death. Presently he stirred family. A cadet
officer, with red sash tied around his
slim waist, stepped out of the ranks
and advanced toward Nine. Barrios, tell
ing her it was nothing but fainting fit,
and in a moment or two Barrios was helped
to his feet and walked feebly across the
plain to the barracks, supported between
two cadets. Nine. Barrios, with COM
panion, hurried-if anything so graceful as
her quick walk could be called hurried
and met him. So you see she has heart
as well as glorious eyes and delicate
voice West Point Letter.

AT APPOMATTOX.
ONLY ONE EYEWITNESS OF THE
SURRENDER NOW LEFT.
Col. Peers Story on the Historic Field
Only Few Reminders of the
Noted Event Remaining.

A great man here is Col. G. I. Peers,
Chief of the County Court, an Office he has
held uninterruptedly for eighteen years,
and altogether for nearly quarter of a
century. Colonel Peers is the only white
man now living at Appomattox Court
house who was here at the time of the sur
render of General Lee. He is the friend,
counselor and leader of the little commu-
nifty, and his kindly blue eyes and flowing
white beard give him a patriarchical APP
pearance. His office in the basement of
the Courthouse is crowded with musty old
papers, many bearing date early in the last
century and concerning the estates and for
tunes of many:proud F. F. VS.. Colonel
Peers is probably better acquainted with
the local events Transporting at the time of
Lees surrender than any man in the South.
With great kindness he pointed out the
scenes of the memorable incidents of the
Sth and 9th of April, 1865.
4 remember WELL, he said, as standing
on the Courthouse green, he gazed
thoughtfully at the woods skirting the
western sky, as though catching again in
memory's eye the glimmer of hostile BAN
ners through the trees, " remember as
though yesterday the day when the army
of northern Virginia passed into history.
There were few men in Appomattox that
spring. Some were with Lee around Rich
mond. others with Joe Johnson in the
south, and others again were sleeping on
the fields of Gettysburg, Antietam and
Charlottesville.

NE FAMous AppLE TREE.

about o o'clock that Sunday morning
word was brought to General Lee, who had
ridden up under one of the apple trees on
the banks of the creek, til at the infantry
was in his front several thousand strong.
According to the decision of the council
the night before, he Immediately sent for
ward from this point the flag OF truce.
This was the only part played IN the clos
ing drama OF the war by the famous APP
pie tree of Appomattox- General Lee and
General Grant never met under its boughs
in fact. the latter never got within two
hundred wards of the apple tree. He rode
through the village about an hour after the
flag OF truce entered his lines, and was met
by General Lee on the brow of hill half
way between the town and the apple orch
ard. Here the two chieftains corversed
awhile, and turned and rode together into
the town.
Meeting Wilmer Mclean in front OF the
Courthouse. General Lee asked him where
they could do some writing, and the party
was escorted by that gentleman to mis- own
house, where, in the parlor, the articles OF
capitulation were drawn up and signed.
An hour or so later General Lee passed me
on his return to camp. He was alone and
rode thoughtfully, his head bowed upon
his breast, as though in deep thought. he

who. while conscious OF having done his
best, had been compelled to submit to the
inevitable, feeling at the same time the ter
rible importance of the step he had taken:
After the surrender both Generals retired
to their respective headquarters, and, If l
mistake not, neither came into town again:
Both, 1 think, left on Tuesday, General
Grant leaving General Gibbon to complete
the surrender and parole officers and men.
During Colonel Peers narrative he point
ed out many points of interest. The spot
where the two great leaders met is marked
by pile of stones, while nearly mile up
the road, on the brow of the hill, stands the
solitary poplar under which the Confeder-
ate commander stood while delivering his
farewell address to his troops.
The Mclean house, where the articles OF
surrender were signed, is long, comtorta-
BILE looking, red brick dwelling, with a
porch running its entire length. Over the
parlor door hangs picture of the ROOM
representing it when the articles OF surren-
der were being signed. Wilmer Mclean,
who owned the house at the time, was
refugee from the first battle of Manassas,
bringing his family here to escape the hor-
rors of war. In 1869 the old place passed
into the hands of n. H. Ragland, its pres
ent owner.-Appomatto Cor. Philadelphia

Speaking of salt brine, used in Sheffield,
England, for hardening steel, of which so
many notes are current, an exchange says
The mixture improves with age and use,
and to such an extent that its value is
largely increased. In some cases these
tanks are fifty years old, and have a value
in proportion to their age. 1t appears that
the constant dipping of the hot metal into
the same solution alters in some way its

TAKE ESoUGH SLEEP.-Sleep sufficiently.
Eight hours are not too much for any per-
son. Pale, thin, nervous people should
have ten hours, if possible. Let them take
it regularly, coIsciendously, and always in
a well ventilated room, and presently they
will be astonished to see how their cheeks
begin to fill out and grow rosy; how their
eyes sparkle; how fresh and elastic and al
togther ike new creatures they feel and
how the mountains of languor and depres-
sion, discomfort and trouble, which had
weighed them down before, seem some
how to have rolled away out of sight, and
almost out of remembrance.-Helen Her

Transportation and Markets,

Cheap and rapid transportation is of the ut
most importance to those who are both producers
and consumers. 1t cheapens all that he buys
snd enhances the price of all he produces. The
"LANGFORD COLONY" is most advantage
ously situated in this respect. 1t is between two
railroads that both connect with steamboats,
that run from the Sacramento and San Joaquin
points to the Golden Gate. This gives the cheap
est freight and passenger rates for the distance
on this Coast. The markets for all kinds of pro-
ducts are good. The Canneries, Wineries and
Fruit Dealers take all the Fruit raised at highly
remunerative prices. There is an unlimited
demand for all the Wine, Raisins, Figs, Prunes,
Green, Dried and Canned Fruits that can be
grown. Dairy Products, Fowls, Eggs and Vege-
tables find ready sale. Every acre of this land
when in bearing Fruit Trees or Vines will net

THE DARK CLOUDS GATHERING


"There were anxious wives, broken
hearted widows and childess mothers
among US, and the few who mained
could easily see the dark clouds gathering
closer over the Confederacy. Lee, driven
out of Richmond and uprooted from Pc
tersburg, was hurrying his weary troops to.
ward the western mountains, with the
sleuth hounds of Grant and Sheridan press
ing hard behind. On Saturday morning
April Sth, few stragglers reached Apo
mattox with the information that Lee was
close at hand, while terrified country peo-
pie from the west came in with the intelli.
gence that Sheridan had come up the rail-
road track and was across the road in Lees
front. In the afternoon Lee arrived and
encamped on the brow OF a hill about q
mile from town. About half way between
through a fertile meadow, runs Appomat-
tox creek, crossing the road near an old
apple orchard.
q 1 went into the Confederate camp that
night and learned from an officer that q
council of war had just been held by Gen
Lee and his Generals, at which it was de-
cided that if Sheridan's cavalry was the
only obstruction in front an attempt would
would be made early the next morning tc
cut through, but. if 0rd's infantry should
arrive during the night there would be
nothing left bat surrender. Lees pickets
had been thrown through and about mile
west of the town, and a sharp encounter
occurred about dusk between them and the
Fifteenth New York cavalry. The picket
line fell back through the town, followed
hard by the enemy, and it was in leading
this pursuit that the commander of the
cavalry. Lieutenant-Colonel Root. was
killed in the center of the village. This
was the last life lost at Appomattox. On
Sunday morning battery was planted in
my yard, one hundred yards from the
Court house, and an artillery duel with the
Federals began. From this battery the last
shots were fired by the army OF northern
Virginia.
