A Dog Story.
[From the Boston Gazette.

From the Boston Gazette.i
Lovers of dogs will be interested in
the following true story: A lady was
visiting friends at the seaside, where
there was a fine dog whose master was
in the habit of giving him money every
day to buy meat for his dinner from
the butchers cart. The lady, admir-
ing the handsome, intelligent animal,
called him to her at she sat at break
fast and fed him from her plate The
dog at once went to his master, and
standing on his hind legs, paved and
scratched at the gentleman's breast
pocket. At first the master failed to
understand, and ordered him away;
but, TIE creature persisting, he finally
said: HWell, | do believe he wants his
money and offered him coin, which
the dog instantly took, and trotting
up to the friendly visitor, deposited it
in her lap with q wag of his tail and a
look which seemed to say, 81 always
pay the butcher, and why not you? 2"

How They Took Him In.

A drunken man in Norwich, Conn,
recently fell down on the street and
went to sleep. He was accompanied
by faithful dog that would not let
anyone touch his master. Two police
were called, and although as brave as
men average and as ingenious, they
could devise no way to get their man.
The "cops" struck at the dog with
their clubs, but he was too good a
dodger to be knocked out, and the ex-
ercise seemed to be fun for him but ex-
hausting to the men. Finally some
one suggested that the animal could
be caught in a blanket. A horse
blanket was procured and several men
took hold of each end of it, and hold
ing it over the dog dropped it on him.
Twice he bafled them in the operation,
but the third time the faithful animal
was captured and dragged off, and his
master was taken to the police sta
ton.

Queer Testimony About Liquor.
From the Buffalo Courier

FROM Cne Bu1dlO courier.
DR.. Hopkins gave testimony in the
Tracy will case yesterday which will be
a sad blow to some of the arguments
used on temperance platforms. He
positively refused to give an affirma-
tive answer to the question: "Does
the excessive use of alcoholic stimu-
lants lead to mental disease?" On
the contrary he said he knew of no
instance where alcohol alone had led
to this dire result. Furthermore, for
8 man in Mr.. Tracy's condition he be-
lieved his regimen did good to both
body and mind. In other words. there
are circumstances where the doctor
will allow q man to drink two pints
of red wine and B. quart Or two Of
champagne per day. The practice of
diluting brandy was commended in
yesterdays proceeding. Just what
effect this may have on people who
are in the habit of taking plain drinks

The remainder of the session, which
closed the conference, was devoted to
the discussion of various phases of the

He'll Gate.
From the New York Herald.l

Everybody remembers the terrific
explosion on the 10th of October last,
when Flood rock succumbed to more
than $50 pounds of dynamite. The
houses within a mile of He'll Gate
shook, windows ratified, and for g.
single instant we thought of the crack
of doom. Since that time thegate has
afforded safer passage for outgoing
and incoming vessels.
AS Gen. Newton says in an inter
view which will be read with interest,
"Another entry to the port of New
York-a very important matter
was established. Since October, Col.
Mcfarland informs the readers of the
Herald, thirty thousand tons of rock
have been removed, which gives an
eighteen-foot channel.
The work, however, is still incom-
plete. The removal of thirty thousand
tons a year for several years to come,
and at an annual cost of 100000,
will afford q channel twenty six feet
deep and from three to four hundred
feet wide.

Terrible Storm In the British Channel
Many Lives Lost.
Reports have been received from all
parts of the United Kingdom telling
of the disastrous effect of the hurri-
cane of the 10Th. The British ship
Malleny was wrecked in the British
Channel, and twenty persons were
drowned. The shore is strewn with
wreckage. The bodies washed ashore
have been stripped of valuables by
wreckers. The Norwegian bark Fred
erickstad, from Musquash, N. B., for
Swansea, was wrecked off Padstow,
and nineteen persons were drowned.
The bark Alliance was also wrecked
off Padstow, and four lives were lost.
The other persons on board were saved
by a life-boat. Another large bark
was seen to be in terrible distress, the
crew being huddled together on deck.
The vessel foundered next morning,
and it is believed that from dozen to
twenty persons were drowned. The
gale prevented the people on shore
from rendering assistance. The cries
of the doomed men were heard dis
tinctly by those who were watching
the vessel from the shore.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 14.-The special
train bearing the remains of Chief
Justice Chase, and the committees
and others who are to attend the cere-
monies here to day, arrived this morn
ing at 8 O'Clock over the Cincinnati,
Washington & Baltimore Railroad.
Under the arrangements made by
local committee of arrangements of
which Mayor Smith was chairman,
the party was met at the depot and a
cortege formed to escort the remains
to Music Hall. The weather, which
has been fine for many days, became
stormy with rain, last night, but by
the time the cortege began to form the
clouds had partly broken away and a
warm October sun was shining through
the purified air. There was respect
full gathering of people about the Grand
Central passenger station anxious in
that way to testify theirregard for the
distinguished dead. Aplatoon of police
prevented encroachment on the space
required for the orderly forma-
tion of the cortege. This was formed
with the first carriage containing Gov.
Foraker, Mayor Amor Smith, Attor-

A Notion OF Raleigh's.
From the New York Herald.1


They are trying to raise tobacco in
Southern England. Ever since the
time of Raleigh and of King James of
pious and "counterblast against to-
bacco" memory this has been a favor
tie notion. But while they can no
doubt get the plant to grow there, just
as they can get pineapples to grow in
lighthouses, to rear it successfully for
commercial purposes has always been
found as futile as the effort to make
cucumbers out of sunbeams. The lat
est news is that they are cultivating
seventeen varieties of the coveted weed ,
Including the choicest Virginia and Ha-
vana, in Kent. When they succeed in
curing the leaf under an English sun
English hopes of profJably raising to-
bacco will be better founded.

SISTER DORA.



In October, 1886, a statue was raised
in the town of Walsall, in She Black
Country, 1.-THE first every erected In
England to woman, with the excep-
toin Of Queen Anne and Queen Vic
toria."
A singular story lies behind this
event. Walsall, large manufactur-
ing town, was filled, twenty years ago.
with rough, drunken community of
laboring people. The drainage and
streets were in deplorable condition,
and every year smallpox and low fever
ragged unchecked.
In 1864 Dorothy Pattison, better
known rs "Sister Dora" went to Wal
sail during fearful outbreak Of small
pox, nursed the sick and diving, and
even with her own hands laid out and
buried the dead, when no man would
dare to perform the last friendly Office.
So violent was the antipathy to the gray
gown of the Sister, that she was stoned
and driven through the streets of Wal
sail with vile obscenity and abuse.
Once stone thrown by q boy cut her
in the forehead, and felled her to the
Garth. She went on with her work
quietly, but with indomitable resolution.
treating her rough enemies. when they
became her patients, with infinite ten
derness, mixed with shrewd, joking HUI
NOR, which caught their fancy. One of
the very men who had stoned her was
brought in, crushed almost beyond rec
ognition in coal-pit, for her to nurse.
He became her most devoted friend.
Slowly she won over the multitudes
Of ruflianly men and women. She be-
came "Our Sister Dora" to the igno-
rant, faithful souls.
On one occasion, when the hospital
was filled with cases of virulent small
pox, she closed the doors to prevent the
spread OF infection, and with one mans
help nursed, cooked. washed and
scrubbed for them all. One patient.
when in the last agony, raised himself
with terrible effort, and cried out:
kiss me once, sister, before dier'
which she did instantly.
When she fell victim to her work.
at last, the people mourned for her as if
each man had lost his nearest friend.
One of the eight cen laboring men who
carried her to the grave said:
1--WE want her cut in marble, with her
cap an goon an blessed face. It's not
that we'll forget her; no danger o that,
but we want her to be there so that
when strangers come and SEQ her stand
ing up there. they'll say: Who's that?'
An we'll lsay: Who's thatP That's our
Sister Dora!'"
The statue recently erected was built
by countless small contributions from
the poor, and stands in the very square
where she was stoned, to show one tri-
umph of pure womanly goodness in the
world. Youths Companion.
