The Little Dog which Followed a New

York Regiment Through The War.
A little dog was the chief pet of the

fully understood the advantages of
breastworks. At Charlottesville,
where we were hurrir] about a good
deal under u heavy cross-tire of artil-
lery, she was greatly discomposed.
When we got in "tho last ditch

after, Fan leaped in, i'll a hurry and
Struggled down close to the nearest
man in a way that made us laugh.
Then She remembered her master, and
left her shelter to look for him. The
poor little thing was hit twice at Chan

some hereditary pets, the goat OF the

THE GRAY NUN.


abere comes each dying day to bless,
little while before the night,
gentle nun in convent dress
OF clinging robes all gray and white.
She lays her cool hand on my face,
And smooths the lines Of care away.
Her tender touch with magic grace
Dispels the worries OF the day.
She folds The mystic curtain BY
That hides from view the shadowy
throng,
And gives me those for whom ! sigh,
The vanished friends for whom I long.
sometimes she brings a perfumed spray
OF flowers that bloomed long years ago,
The breath of nine laid away
Meath many u winters dritted snow.
No other guest gives such delight,
Nor can of peace bestow the same.
As she who comes 'twixt day and night,
And Ttpiiyht is the gray nuns name.

and says: MANY curious secrets
are unfolded in this branch of the
Post Office Department. There
stands now, il seems, among the
dead letters" a pair of No. 6 lady's
Shoes" No doubt the lady thinks
herself fortunate that her name was
not on the package, sand her willing
ness to see the pair of shoes sold at
auction is perfectly natural. An old
wig has been lying in the office for
two years without a claimant, while
the owner probably wears his hat in
church. 4 pair of corsets, made to
emhr ace a thirty-three inch waist,
can find no one to confess to them.
They stand along with several other
pairs of similar size awaiting the
auction. Besides innumerable pairs
ofshoes, suits of clothes, handkerchiefs,
collars and cuffs, cheap jewelry, with
an occasional lock of hair and an en-
gagement ring, there are numerous
lsdies' bustles. brown hair switches,
false bangs and frizzes, and even
pairs Of carriers In another package

Without going into the particulars
of what the ladies of the w. G. T. L..
are able to accomplish Cor "God and
home" there is n question that such
narrow mindedness as they displayed
in st. Louis, Friday last, is neither
cOmmendable or in accordance with
good sense. Mrs. Cleveland, as the
guest of Mrs. Whitney, had no right
to show disapproval of what she
served at her refreshment table, and
had she done so, she would have b en-
held up as one who did not under
stand the first principles of etiquette.
On the other hand, Mrs. Whitney
has perfect right to offer her guests
such refreshments as she deems fit
ting, without consulting a band Of
women who, in their zeal to uplif,
the homes of others, nine times in
ten, neglect their own homes. As a
body with steadfast purpose, The
w. {. T. |. deserves credit and eli
enlargement, and should have it,
nut when a few of the members cast
about in their minds for some means
of ANNOYING their sister woman whose
position necessitates a certain line of
conduct from which they are exempt,
then they over-reach themselves.
Mrs. Cleveland, young and thor
Oughly new to the society with which
her lot is cast, has no right, nor
should she be expected to revolution
Ize such society at one fell swoop, and
thus make herself obnoxious. If
Mrs. Whitney offended, why not
send the resolution stating her offense
to her, and not to the wife of the
president, who, as guest, has no
right to Interfere with the preoga-
tives of those by whom she may he
entertained.

Hamilton, Tex, Herald has just is
sued a special addition in which the
resources of the county of Hamilton
as well as the toSn, is fully and COM
pletely detailed. Among other
things worthy of note, the Herald
says of its town:
Hamilton has temperate popu-
lation, there being only one saloon
in a population of 800. As an indi-
cation of the growth of the temper
ance sentiment it would be proper TO
state that ten years ago when we
numbered only $50 in all, there were
three salons in active operation.
Now the patronage will scarcely jus
tify one. Then, drinking openly at
the bar of saloon was considered
dignified and gentlemanly; now it is
under the ban of popular disappro-
val, and nothing will sooner defeat
a candidate for anv office of trust
than the popular belief that he is adj
dicted to his Cups"
