dren to church on Sunday morning.
He GOES to the aItar-rails and lies
down, facing the congregation.
When they rise to sing, he rises,
and when they sit, he lies down.
One day, shortly before my visit, a
stranger clergyman was preaching,
and the sermon was longer than
usual. The dog grew tired and
restless, and at last thought oc-
cured to him, upon which he at
once acted. He had observed that
one of the elder Indian boys was
accustomed to hand round plate
for aims, after which the services
at once concluded, He evidently
thought that if he could persuade
this boy to take up the collection,
the sermon must naturally end.
He ran down to the back seat Occu-
curied by the boy, seated himself
in the aisle, and gazed steadtastly
in the boys face, Finding that
no notice was taken, he sat up and
begged" persistently tor some
time, to Mr. Ashton's great amuse>
ment. Finally, as this also failed
the dog put his nose Under the
lads knee, and tried with all his
strength to force him out of his
place, continuing this at intervals
until the sermon was concluded.
Did Lot this prove a distinct power
of consecutive reasoning?

What Smoking Does for Boys.

A medical man, struck with the
large number of boys under fifteen
years ofagewhcm he observed smok-
ing, was led to inquire into the eff.
feet the habit had upon the general
health. He took for his purpose
thirtp-eight aged from nine to fif-
teen, and carefully examined them.
In twenty-seven, he discovered in
furious traces of the heart, In
twenty-five, there we're various
disordered of the circulation and
digestion, palpitation OF the heart,
and a more or less taste for strong
drinks. In twelve there were FREE
9uent bleedings of the nose, ten
had disturbed sleep, and twelve
had slight liberation ofthe mouth,
which disappear on ceasing the use
of tobacco for some days.
The doctor treated them all FOL

The whole country was struck by
spectacle which was presented al
the funeral of General Sheridan.
Among the palllbearers were two
ex-confederate generals, Wade
Hampton and Joe" Wheeler.
Side by side at the open grave stood
Jaseph E. Johnston and William
L. Sherman, the two most famous
survivors OF the civil strife who had
fought each other with mighty ar
mics in a campaign destined to last
in the annuals of war.
On October 9th, at Richmond,
there will be another significant &C.
casion. A monument to General
George E. Pickett, the hero of the
immortal charge at Gettysburg, will
be unveiled. The place Of honor in
the ceremonies has been assigned to
the survivors eff Pickett's division
and of the Pennsylvania brigadeS
which met and resisted that terrific
assault. These veterans will not
lace each other for the first time
since that dreadful day in 1863.
They met last yeer as friends on
the field of Gettysburg and talked
over the past as only brave, big
hearted men could. Mrs. Pickett
and her son were present Oh that
occasion and were the recipients of
every possible attention and court
esq from the men who wore the
blue as well as those who had fol.
lowed the southern cross.
Pennsylvania hospitality did its
best for its southern guests last
year, aud Virginia is glad of an
opportunity to show her apprecias
ton of such treatment.
Extensive preparations have been
made for the reception and enter-
tainment of the Pennsylvanians.
When the good people of the
north and south see such evidences
that the spirit Of fraternity has OBJ
liberated the bitterness of the past
they pay little attention to 'the

AsWINDLXNG SCaEME.

The Grass Valley Union shows
ND the travelling advertising swind-
lers.
These itinerant beats always
catch the custom of men who under
no circumstances advertise in q
home paper.
Some weeks ago one Reilly came
to Grass Valley in the interest OF a
sheet published intermittently for
the sake of making money. Many
sharpers are working the same
scheme; that is, going through the
State writing sketches of country
towns and supplementing their
brief and untrustworthy history OF
a place with alleged biographical
notices of as many leading business
men as they can persuade. to pay
for the sketch.
Manager Brown OF the State
Board OF Trade strongly denounces
this system Of swindling.
ssThe men who consent to this
are generally swindled as well as
laughed at, by intelligent people"
said he. The publications contain
ing them are not bona fide, and af-
ter the money for the biographical
sketches is wrenched from the VIC
Tins the circulation generally stops.
cit is only . bare-faced fraud +,
practiced upon gullibls people, for
the sake Of extorting money. While
such papers pretend to give, infer
nation of California, they contain
nothing of the sort. 1t has serious-
~ injured al kinds Of legitimate,

FOR PRESIDENT.
BENJAMIN HARRISON
OF INDIANA.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
LEVI P. MORTON
OF NEW YORK
THE CHINESE BOOMERANG.

The Nye county Democracy have
met at Belmont to ''point with
pride" and "view with alarm" 6
number OF public questions. Among
other things the convention toyed
with the Chinese question and
adopted the follow 1g plank:
eve point with pride to the fact
that nine-tenths of the Democratic
Congressman are with us on the
Silver and Chinese questions. and
deplore the fact that nine-tenths OF
the Republican members are
against u.s."
The Nye county Democrats evil
IDENTIFY got their ideas about the Re-
publican party and the Chinese
rom the Examiner and Alta, and
they evidently know nothing about
the history OF the Chinese Exclusion
bill.
The Chinese Exclusion bill was a
nice little trap fixed up by the
Democrats in the House to place
the Republicans In the Senate on
record. The bill went through the
House like . dog with a tin can to
his tail, and when it reached the
Senate, old Stewart, who is always
awake when such schemes are afoot,
exposed the job and called on the
Senate to pass the bill and give
eCleveland a chance to sign or veto.
1t is a well-known fact that Cleve-
land would veto the bill, but he
would hate like the deuce to have
anything to do with it.
The Democrats in the House saw
that Stewart had them IN the door,
and in order to let the President
out of a hole, reconsidered their
action in passing the Dill.
There were seventeen votes
against reconsideration OF these
four were Democrats and seventeen
Republicans. There were eighteen
votes in favor of reconsideration;
of these twelve were Democrats and
six Republicans. The roll call thus
shows that large majority OF the
Republicans voted against reconsid-
Grafton and large majority OF the
Democrats voted for it. A recon-
sideration OF the bill means its de-
feat, and the Democrats are thus
put on record as contributing a
large majority to this end.
This incident punctures the head
of the big bass. anti-Chinese drum
which the Democratic Coast papers
have been pounding on SO heavily
fer the past few months. They
may still pound the drum, but it
will no longer resound to the editor
ial whack. The boomerang has
come back on the rush.
