lookout for dog with q thorn in bis
foot.
And when this dog came the other
day, We thought our youthful dreams
were about to be fulfilled.
We pstted the dog on the head and
called him Cm.ar. He seemed highly
gratiHed. We gently lifted up one
foot and then the other, but instead OF
a thorn. could only find some remark
able sharp toe nails and vast amount
of dirt. We confess We were some
what disappointed, but on reflection
we thought tnst thorns might be
scarce and hard to find, and that the
dog was not to blame. Perhaps, if
We kept him, he might get thorn in
his foot, and then he would go of and
bring us other dogs that had thorDs in
their feet, and we would heal them
up, and 60 on doing good to dogs,
until they would begin talking about
and abusing us. just like other people,
who are not dogs, but a d-n sight
worse.
Well, We gave the dog something to
eat aDd home. His wounds healed
up, his regular meals showed visible
effect, his spirits rose, his step was
more strong and elastic, his counien-
ance beamed with intelligence and
affection, and he was as susve and
afable as a candidate for school direct.
or In fact, here is the exact picture
of our dog:

brick, jus, as he was disappearing b.
tween two rails of the fence.
The hullabaloo excited the attsae-
ton of S19 dogs who resided in tAs
neighborhood. and they swarned int
the street just in time to see Caesar
making of with ten pounds of bacon
in his mouth. Those S19 dogs imms-
diately gave chase, and all the boys
that lined each side of the street en-
oouraged them by volley of rocks,
brick bats old bottles, clubs and every
thing they could lay their hands On.
Cesar. being hard pressed, dartel
under house with bis prise. Up
stairs big fat woman had just got -
on stool to wind the clock, when
Cesar Numbered in under the floor
beneath her, frightened her so that
she lost her balance and came to the
floor with crash. shaking the hoass
to its foundation, and inducing ths
neighborhood to think that an earth
quake had happened.
A grocer's horse and wagon stood at
the front gate, and the horse took adj
vantage of the general uproar to rsa
away, break the wagon all TO pieces,
and finally fetched up at the foot of .
ladder on building up which three
bod carriers were going with bricks
throwing them of and piling them up
on top of the dead horse in inextrica-
bic confusion with broken limbs.
The fat woman lay on the floor 10
dead faint, S19 dogs were barking
under the house, and the yard was
full of excited people. The fat
woman's husband came home, loaded
up his double-barreled gun with ten
penny nails, and laying fat on the
ground, cooked both barrels pointed
under the honse, and fired !! About
twenty dogs were under the house ar
guing with Caesar about that meat,
and every one of 'em got a ten-peuny
nail except Ca ar. who, as further
proceedings interested him no more,
Lit out and saved his bacon in more
senses than one.
The discharge under the house set
it on fire, and the FIRE company turn
ed out in full force. The front fence
was torn down and the furniture was
thrown into the street. One man
picked up a coal scuttle 10 the garnet
and with rare presence of mind car
ried it into the street. and then around
to his house. Six excited men rushed
into the house and fell over the fat
woman, who was still lying peacefully
on the floor. With a heroism mosS
praiseworthy, they lifted her up, bore
her to the second story window and
let her drop. The fall broke her leg
and woke her up. when she immedi-
ately added her yells to the pands-
mouium.
At last things were put to rights
and the fire was put out.
But the dead dogs remained under
the house and could not be got out.
The first warm day last week q mias-
ma was observable near that dwelling.
the second day the fat woman and
family moved to the country, and itn
as strange as true that everybody who
passes the house caress their nose
with both hands.

Oh! the pains we took with that
dog.
Meat was no object, and We were
only too happy to provide bones.
At first, the department of this dog
was excellent. When We first took
him he was so derned ornary and
humble he couldn't see his reflection
ina dishpan without going off and
hiding under the house for a half a
day; but he got over that in a day or
two, aud his confidence increased with
his grub. 1t was not long before he
could bark at people in the street and
in week he exercised a general police
authority over the place. He would
chase stray pigs, and find out how de-
lusive are the things of this life when
he tried to get "tail holt;" he would
drive the neigbbors' chickens out of
the yard, and be was death on cats,
irrespective of race, color or previous
condition.
Oh, he was a jewel that dog was.
AS we said. we called him Caser.
But we uldn't find q thOrn-ye
found it afterward.
Well, things went on all right, un-
til that family council upon the mo-
mentous question of bacon and cab
bage for dinner. We noticed that
dog took a lively interest in the DELHI
eratioGs, but as he was Member of
the House" We thought nothing of it.
Once, when we rose to a point of Or
der, and suggested to the president
ress, that, in view of the prevailing
hard times, the troubled state of the
national finances, the evils that result
from imitation and indigestion, that
we, as family, 60 without any din
ner. We noticed that dogs countenance
fell, and he gave q deep Sigh !; but
when our motion wss received with
indignation, and the committee on
ways and means reported in favor of
breakfast bacon, that dog gave howl
of triumph and licked his chops with
satisfaction.
The bacon and cabbage sat side BY
side on the table, awaiting the sacri-
Zee, the flames roared in the kitchen
stove, and the preliminary prepare
tons for the midday meal we're in
progress.
Cesar fooled around the table con-
s;derably. He would raise his head
and snuff and then meander out of
doors and look up the street as If he
was looking for somebody; then he
would come back and take another
snuff; then be would put his forepaws
on the table and look-just to see ifI
the cabbage was there. At last be
made spring upon the table. One
leg vas Q little shorter than the others,
and being heavily loaded With dishes
and . teakettle of hot water, the |
whole concern, dog and al, came
laundering TO the aoor with an awful
crash. Cesar seized the meat, how
ever, and with an unearthly howl
shot out the door and into the front
yard, where We had the satisfaction of
bidding him goodbye with . fui;-sized

THAT MANDkMENT.

Considerable Feeling In Montreal Labor
Circles Over the Threatened Mandament
OF Archbishop Fabre Against the knights
Of Labor.
MONTREAL. Aug. 2S.-Thero is consider
able feeling in labor circles over the threat
ened mandamcnt of Archbishop Fabre
against the Knights of Labor. 1t is believed
the Archbishop is acting under pressure
from Cardinal Taschereau, who, 1t is said,
has insisted on aggressive action against
the organization, and urged the Arch
bishop TO proclaim the order in
his archdiocese in accordance with
his recent correspondence with the c ardinal
Prefect at Rome. Many members OF the
Knights of Labor have been requested by
the cures of parishers TO withdraw quietly
from the order in advance of the manda-
ment, so as not to prejudice their standing
as Catholics. Whether the parishioners
will oblge their priests and desert the order
remains TO be seen, but prominent Knights
of Labor say they will stand by the order
in defiance of the attitude of the church,
The result is anXiously awaited,
