A NOBLE DOG.


{. i. Belt, Esq, of Burke county.
one OF It's most prominent and trust
worthy citizens, says that a few DAYS
ago, on returning from trip to Eman-
uel county, he was followed to his
home by a dog, which met him on the
road. lie endeavored to prevent the
dog from accompanying him, but
without avail. About an hour after
arriving at his residence colored
girl some thirteen years Of age had
her clothes to catch fire in the kitch-
EN-, and ran burning and screaming
into the yard pursued by her mother.
who attempted to over take her and
extinguish the flames which threat
ened to destroy her child, but was
unable to reach her. The strange
dog took in the situation and with
marvellous sagacity and beyeyolence
ran after and caught the girl, threw
her down and held her down without
biting her, and with his teeth tore
every shred of the burning garments
from her person. In her fear and
agony she attempted to get away from
him and continue her flight to GER
tain death, but he held her add kept
tearing the flaming clothing from her
until it was all of. lIe seized the
cloth with flames 50 fierce as to burn
his tongue. his lips and his feet, and
to single the most Of the hair from his
head, and did not desist until his good
work was thoroughly done. Thisr re-
markable scene was witnessed by a
number Of persons, Mr.. Belt. Mrs.
Belt and others, who youch for its
truth and whose vcracity and credi-
bility are beyond the slightest ques-
tion.-,Sacanaah Times.

If President Cleveland complied
with all requests for a lock Of his
hair his head would be as bare as a
billiard ball in less than week. One
lady from indianapolis has written
that she is poor, and asks the Presi-
dent to instruct his barber to for
ward to her all the hair cut from the
Executive head. She proposes to
make this hair into Cleveland charms
and sell them to gentlemen to wear
on their watch chains. Another per-
son in Richmond, Va, wants the
same hair to stuff pincushion made
of silk, taken from an old United
States flag. This cushion She will
rattle at a.church fair for the benefit
OF a needy MsthodiSt congregation.

RAISING BUFFALO.

Some Of our Western ranchmen
are embarking in the business of rails
ing bufaloes. There are about fifty
head on the ranch of the FRANKLIN
Land and Cattle Company and there
are also some buhaloes on the Good
night ranch. The FRANKLIN is pay
ing $50 a head for buffalo calves.
There is a herd of 1000 bufaloes in
the western portion of the Neutral
starp. When buffalo robes are worth
from $l5 to $40 apiece, ana buffalo
steak 12l cents per pound in the
Dodge City market, it would seem as
if there was money in buffalo raising.
A dozen years ago millions of buffa-
loes rOamed at will over these plains,
and they were slaughtered for fun
and their robes. 1t would not be
surprising if they would yet be more
valuable than beef cattle.

UNTIL DEATH.

Make me no VOWS Of constancy dear

TO love me tho die thy whole life long,
And love no other till thy days shall end
Nay, it were rash and wrong.

To bind thy heart itit should choose to 60
Love should not he slave.
My placid ghost, ! trust, will walk serene
In clearer light than gids these earthly

Above the jealousies and enyies keen
Which SOW this life with thorns.
Thou woullst not feel my shadowy caress
II, after death, my soul should linger here;
Mems hearts crave tangible, close tender.

SOMEBODY HIT,

Under the head of "Don't Learn a
Trade, the Rhea County Ncws, pub
lished at Spring City, Tenn, fires this
broad side into the young men of the
day:
mo, don't learn trade, young
man. You might soil your hands,
swift your shirt collar, and spoil your
complexion sweating. Go hang your
chin over q c0nnter; learn to talk
twaddle TO the ladies' part your hair
in the middle; makean ass of yourself
generally, and work Tor wages that
wouldn t support a Chinese laundry
man on rice and rats, and leave a big
enough balance to pay his washwo-
man just because it is little more
genteel in the eyes Of the people
whose pride prevents them from
pounding rock or saving wood, and
whose poverty pinches worse than
your long-legged clothes-pin, if the
truth were told"

EDUCATION,

MIR. Ruskin makes the following
criticism on modern education, in a
letter to The Church Bills. Its
pungenoy will be appreciated on this
side Of the water: "Sir-Will you
permit me in your columns to ask
the editor of The Spectator, in refer
ence to the article on education, in
his last Saturdays issue, whether he
has ever CHANGED TO notice anything
that either Mr.. Thomas CARLYLE or |,
his pupil, have written on the sub
lect during the last thirty years? and
farther, what he, the said editor, un-
derstands by the term education"
| know Of nothing that has been
taught the youth Of our time, except
that their fathers were apes and their
mothers wrinkles; that the world be-
gan in accident, and will end in dark
ness that honor is folly, ambition
a virtue, charity vice, poverty a
crime, and rascality the means of all
wealth, and the sum of all wisdom.
Both Mr.. Carlyle and | knew perfect
~ well all along what would be the
outcome of that education. And
should be extremely glad to know
what else was expected from it by
the members of the School Board ?
| am, Sir, your obedient servant,

AN UNFORTUNATE MAN.

Dennis Ollerron of Louisville has
had rather an eyentful life, In ear
ly days he was prosperous in Buffalo.
He became drunkard and then a
tramp. lie reformed and went to
work in Louisville. Last October,
while handling ties, a big spread
head viper darted from pile and
buried its fangs in his breast. His
companions pulled the snake off, and
filled Dennis with whisky. They
kept him drunk for week, and he
never felt any i'll effects from the
bite. A few months later a mule
kicked him twice in two seconds,
breaking some ribs and his collar
bone. Shortly after he had recover
ed from these injuries, and while
asleep in the shade of a tree, man
drove Il buggy over his neck. He
apparently wasn't hurt, but week
ago his neck began to pain him, and
now he is in hospital suffering from
a general break up of his badly used
system.

A DEMOCRATS VOTE.

There are numbers of towns in
Vermont where no Democratic vote
was ever cast. Lincoln belonged Tor
years to this class. But one year as
they were counting the vote, the old
citizens who had control OF the bal
lot box were amazed and Mortified
to discover in it a Democrat ballot
for Governor. There was hasty
consultation among the judges, who
were all staid and conservative men.
Then one of them rose up solemnly,
and holding up the ballot to sight,
said impressively; "We have in the
box a ballot for the Democratic cam
didate for Governor. Did anyone
cast it?" There was no answer. ave
thought it was a mistake, said the
Judge, and he threw it on the floor.
