A North Carolina Colt Which Answers
Questions Promptly and Intelligently.
A horse or dog which has been
trained to a point where he seems able
to do his own thinking, always de-
serves honorable mention and remem-
brance. A traveller in North Carolina
gives his experience with a colt which
seemed to know more than enough to
''pass the time of day." He was a
nondescript beast, about fourteen
hands high, of a dun-brown color, and
with a coat as shaggy as a spaniel's.
He looked as if he had not been combed
since he was born, and even through
his rough coat 1 could count every rib
in his body. But he had an eye which
showed there was a spirit within him;
large and lustrous, it was also gentle
and coquettish. 1 stepped up to him,
and, patting him on the neck, asked
his nam of the landlord.
''Sam," he answered; '.and he knows
it. Bid him good morning"
[ did so, and instantly the colt bowed
his head and lifted his right fore-foot,
which I took in my hand and shook
gently.
.'Now talk to him, and see if he
doesn't understand YOU"
Sam l asked, edo you want to go
with meP"
Sam bowed his head in assent.
IF / take you along will you behave
like a gentleman"
Another bow was the prompt reply.
"Now ask him something that re-
quires mo- for an answer"
care you afraid to swim the river?"
He shook his head instantly, but
thinking he might not have understood
me, and seeing the advantage of hav-
ing the wild steed fully pledged to
good behavior, 1 changed the form of
the previous question: will you run
away with me and break my neck?",
A shake of the head, twice repeated,
vas the prompt reply. Then l put my
arm about his neck, and he put his
face against mine and stroked my
beard in a fondling manner.
.:You and I are going to be good
friends, SAM" l said, patting his head,
~affectionately. Instantly he nodded
very decidedly, by way of affirmation.
l concluded that he had been trained
70 distinguish between questions meant
to be answered by eyes, or .sno.' from
the infections of the voice. Even with
that possibility his intelligence seemed
something marvellous. -TouM's Com.

Now I'll tell you why 1 wouldn't go
into the restaurant and have Il cup of
coffee with you while we were waiting
for the train. l didn't like the way you
asked me. Keep quiet, 1 have the floor.
Not half an hour before, you said to
Mr.. Puffer: Come, let's get a cigar"
and away you went, holding his arm
and not giving him a chance to decline.
When we met John O'Howdy on our
way to luncheon you said: Just in
time, John, come take lunch with u.s."
And then tonight, when we found the
train nearly an hour late, you looked at
your watch, turned to me and said, in a
questioning way: ..Would you like a
cup of coffee?" And / did want it;
I was tired and a little hungry, but I
would have tainted before | accepted
such an invitation. And you went
away a little bit vexed with me and had
your coffee and bread and butter by
yourself and didn't enjoy it very much.
In effect, you said to me: IF you want

husband in the world, but you do as
nearly all the best husbands do. Why
do you men seem to dole things out to
your wives when you fairly throw them
to the men you know? Why don't you
invite me heartily, as you invite men?
Why didn't you say ''Come; let's get a
little coffee and something" and take
me right along with you? You wouldn't
say to Il man: Would you like ME to
go and buy you a cigar?" Then why
do you always issue your little invita-
tons to treats in that way to me? In
deed, indeed, my dear husband, if
men would only act toward their
wives as heartily, cordially, frankly as
they do toward the men whom they
meet, they would find cheerier COM
panions at home than they could at the
club.-BMrdette, in Brooklyn Eagle.

ANOTHER SHOCK.

Charleston.
Buildings Rattle and Crack, Causing Mnch
Aiarm-Shocks at Other Places.

CHARLEsroN, s. c.. Oct 22.-The conf
dence OF the people was again broker this
morning by sharp shock of earthquake.
1t occurred at twenty minutes past five,
and lasted about twenty seconds. Houses
were shaken and windows ratified at a ter
rife rate Plastering was broken in many
houses and fell in few. A few chimneys
that stood the severity of the first shock
succumbed to the one this morning. Many
are Of the opinion that 1t was second
in force and duration only TO the great
shock OF August 81, and all agree vhat II is
by far the most severe since the first week.
II came from the south and went toward
the north. IL was as usual, accompanied
by whizzipg sound. II did not at all in
terfere with the business Of the city:
Everything went on as If nothing had
happened Workmen were on their
scaffolds by7 O'Clock, and though there was
general spirit OF uneasiness, everything
went along smoothly until second shock
occurred at quarter TO 3 O'Clock. 1t was
not so long in duration as the morning
shock, though 1t was undoubtedly more
severe. People rushed from their houses
into the streets, and workmen came
down from their scaffolding, some
jumping off. Several persons were slight
ly injured by jumping from windows,
uO iiit WIS iDsbr was ohJ INV
seriously injured The Custom house re-
ceived another crack, the Cotton Exchange
broke open where had just been repaired,
and severa private houses were somewhat
cracked. Even this did not cause pa lic.
The people talked in the streets few
minutes and then returned to their houses.
WorkmenSwen' Dack to their scaffold ng
and finished their days work. Everybody
will sleep in their houses t ght, though
many are afraid. Reports received from
other parts Of the State say that the shock
was general and severe throughout the
whole State. 1t was very strong at SOM
erville, where plastering and chimneys fell
from many houses. The shock was felt
pretty generally throughout the State,
Georgia, Florida and Virginia. The shock
at Washington, ID. G., was severe enough TO

LouisviIie Leaf Tobacco Market.

Louisville Lear Tobacco Market
The market has been without important
variations from the late conditions in any
respect, whether in tone or price. The bust
ness done has been larger, the weeks sales
showing an increase over last week of ~
hogsheads, though the receipts are 20 hogs
heads smaller. The only noticeable waver-
ing Of Burley prices during the week was
at that sale. though the tobacco was a pc
culiarly meritorious collection, considering
its magnitude. Subsequently the tone OF
Burley mediums and higher grades has
been steady to firm, though the differences
have not been entirely covered and prices
are hardly as full as week ago. Low
grade Burleys are without new features
Dark and heavy tobaccos have been steady
and even throughout the week, with offer
ings bearing unusually small proportions
to the daily totals There have been no
fine offerings Over-sweated kinds and
dried Green-rivers remain dull and slow.
We quote 1885 tobaccos as follows for full
weight packages:
