a Does NosE.-The following anecdote
is related i'll q foreign contemporary by a
we'll known English gun-maker:-A black
pointer dog, while hunting in a moor in
Argye-shire, was on one occasion severely
rated for eating some carrion, part ofa dead
and purrid sheep. Passing to leeward of
the carrion about an hour afterward, the
dog evidently remembered the former scold.
ing, and giving his master an expressive
look continued to hunt. The stencil from
the carrion was 80 great as to be almost in
supportable, and, ,hurryiBg past it, his mas
ter was surprised to observe the pointer,
generally a most obedient animal, make o
sudden wheel and draw directly upon the
carcass, from which no whistling or COM
mand could prevent him. An advance to
check him led only to his steady and regu-
lar approach, making point after point TO
the dead sheep. Annoyed at this, his own
er seized him by the neck and drew him
away, when at that moment a cock grouse
rose from the very mass of carrion, and gay
ly growing flew down the hillside, but was
in very few minutes afterward safely
bagged. After tho bird had gone, the poin-
ter at once cheerfully resumed his hunting.
The sense of smell was so powerfully dis.
crimiuative as to detect the presence of one
small bird from the horribly tainted air of
the dead sheep.

WHAT CAUSES SOME MEN TO STRIKE.

The following items, clipped from New
York paper which has always espoused
the principles set forth by labor organiza-
tions, will serve to give the public some
idea of the grievances" which often impel
men to strike:
Labor held y meeting on Thursday night, which
lasted all night to discuss the strike of the dyer5
at Straugc's silk mill. The dyers wanted to go
back to work, but the men ef other trades object-
cd, and the meeting adjourned without any deci>
sion. State Factory Inspector Fell visited Pater.
son and consulted with Deputy Inspector ODon-
nell on settling the matter by arbitration but the
dycrs declined to have any arbitration until the
Knights permit it.
On Monday there was a general demand by all
hricklaycrs and plastercrs' laborcrs Of New York
for an incrca.c of wages. The strike was ordered
by the General Council of tho Laborers' Union on
April 5. The new rate demanded is $3.50 per
day for bricklaycrs' laborcrs and $2.75 for pias-
tercrs' laborers. Heretofore they have been paid
but 50 25 per day.
Eighty employees in the moulding department
at Peck Brothers brass shop in New Haven,
Conn, quit work Wednesday. Foreman Edmund
Mllctt says he gavo some instructions to two Of
the moulders, which they did not obey whereup-
he discharged them. This led the othars to 60
out also.
Two nunureu WcaVerS III the Broad BrooK
Woolcn Mills. at Hartford Conn.,, went on
strike last week because one of the men was dis
charged for absenting himself from his work for
five days on the plea Of sickness, when he was
really out Of town.
The first item shows what poor, fallen
human nature is capable of-men wanting
to continue work, but willing to forfeit their
situations at the fiat of men of other trades
or orders from knights of Labor" who
know nothing about them or their interests,
and is a commentary on the crimes commit
ted in this country in the the name of liber.

cushine,a Island.

Mr. William NJ. Sargent, A. NJ, of this city
whose genealogical and historical papers pub
lished in the Register, and read before the meet
ings of the Portland Genealogical Society, and
which have been received with much fayor-has
Just published, through the press of the American
oto-Engraving Company of New York, an his
torical sketch, guide book and prospectus OF
Cushings Island. The book is pamphlet OF
lust 100 pages printed on good paper, in fair,
clear type and abounding in views of and about
the island, from paintings by the well known
artist, H. b. Brown, or sketches by John Calvin
Stevens, the architect The cover, designed by
Mr.. Stevens, is unique, adorned ON the one page
with mollusk shells, and branches of wind-tossed
pine, bearing in scroll work the passage from
Montagne:
GA nosegay of eulled flowers bring
With nothing of nay own except the string
That binds them"
The other page presents the sea serpent in the
waters OF Casco Bay as seen from Cushings
Island. The little volume is dedicated ''to all
Portlanders at home and abroad" "at this CEN
tennial anniversary of their city, embodying az it
does in modest way one chapter of its munich
pal history"
Commencing with the historical SKETCH Mr..
Sargent has in compact form presented all that is
known about the island from the time that Cap
tain Christopher Levett, a gentleman of good
fortune, who had already filed the position Of
"His Maiestys Woodward of Somersetshire,"
and one of the Council Of New England, under
permission of Sir Ferdinando Gorges made the
island his home and the centre of his patent Of
5000 acres, granted him by the Council May 5th,
1923, or 2e3 years ago, down to the present day,
when the island is owned by the children of the
late Lemuel Cushing, himself descendant in the
seventh generation from the emigrant ancestor,
Matthew Puritan, who with Governor Haynes.
the ministers, Cotton, Hooker and others, came TO
New England in 1888. Accompanying this sketch
will be found the earliest chart locating Cushings
Island-the Terra de Estevan Gomez-drawn by
d. Ribero in 1929.
Following the historical sketch we have the
guide book with its complete descriptions OF the
typography, the natural attractions, walks and
rambles, archery and tennis grounds, shooting,
bathing, season to visit the place, climate, shore.
deep sea cod, mackereng and sword fishing,
methods of communication with the main land,
the luxuriousness of the hotel life at the Ottawa,
the cottage and general social life, and in con-
clusion, the prospectus of the property, with
views of the grounds beautifully laid out by Mr..
Frederick Law Olmsted, the celebrated landscape
gardener and an account of the thorough sewer.
age and especial fresh water privileges Of the
place.
Mr.. Sargent has done his work remarkably
well, and while he has given comprehensive
story to his readers, he has interviewer among
the detail much beauty of landscape and sea
word-painting, and numberless appropriate poeti-
cal stanzas by well known poets who have been
fascinated by this charming isle.

Capt. Cottier on the Stand.
LIVERPOOL, April 20.-Capt. Cottier, OF the
steamship Oregon, testified today. During the
examination before the Board of Trade as to the
loss of his vessel he said that at the time OF the
collision the steamers lights were probably ylsi,
BILE for a distance of six miles. The night was
frosty and clear. The aurora which prevailed,
however, would have rendered it difficult to see
the vessel itself. The captain denied that his
crew and fremen rushed into the life-boats ahead
of the passengers. He added that he tried 70
beach the ship, and said that if the bulkhead had
been closed he could have sailed the Oregon into INTO
New York. AS it was it would have been apso-
lutely impossible to save the vessel even If they
had been able to set sails, which, however, tney
could not do because all hands were engaged IN
the work of transferring passengers from the
sinking ship.
the sinking of the steamer could have been pre-
vented if the bukhead doors had been construct,
ed to work along vertical, instead of horizontal
grooves. The coal had choked up the horizontal
grooves and the doors could not be closed Inc
hearing was adjourned.
