A Noble Retriever.

Swiss Cross.
The Western Mail first published
the following remarkable story of a
brave dog: On December 90 last the
steamship Muley Hassan was passing
through the Straits of Gibraltar, when
Captain Thomson went on deck with
his retriever Nellie. The sagacious
animal at once ran to the rail of the
vessel, raised herself on her fore paws,
and commenced to whine. The cap
tain looked, but could see nothing.
The dog, however, got more and
more restless, and finally jumped
overheard, and swan astern. The
engines were stopped, and boat low
cred, when the dog was discovered,
firmly holding the collar of the coat
of a drowning man, who was lying
across two oars. 1t was afterward
sscertained that he was the only
survivor from a Spanish revenue fe-
lucca, which had been upset in a
squall, and that he had been in the
water four hours when rescued. 1t
would have been impossible for him
to have survived much longer. Both
man and dog were in a very ex.
hausted condition when taken on
board the Muley Hassan. The above
incident has formed the subject of q
presentation to Captain Thomson off
silver medal and diploma, for his
gallantry and heroism in saving the
life of the poor Spaniard. Without
in the least wishing to depreciatt
Captain Thomson's effort or deserts
we must say.that Nellie most certain
iy deserves to have some sort of hon.
or conferred upon her, and that sht
certainly ought to be ranked among
the historical dogs who have earned
name and fame for heroic deeds.

With her lovely eyes and soft, warm hair
And her dear little hands that fluttered so,
And in which the dimples would come

When love or storms made her pink or white.
There is only this: must pray to Him
To send her back in the twilight dim.

A Corner in Sour Kraut.

A Sharp and enterprising st. Louis
cabbage and kraut operator visited
Chicago recently and purchased in the
aggregate eighty car loads of cabbage.
He went amongst the principal grow
ers first and secured most of their hol-
dings not already sold or engaged,
and he afterwards called on the South
Water street commission houses and
purchased of them quite freely, who,
soon after closing their trades with the
st. Louis man, discovered he had al
ready bought what they figured on
getting. The Mound City man then
went among the kraut dealers and
sold kraut for future delivery, reserv-
ing enough cabbage to sell at fine
profit to his brother dealers. He was
aware, as many of the well posted
operators are, that the supply in the
West, on account of the drouth, is eX-
ceedingly small, and the visible sup
ply any point quite limited. Thus,
in few days ofquiet, effective work,
this party, at a very small outlay,
made over ten thousand dollars.
There appears to be openings of this
kind all the time, but few people see
them.

The Rain Preventing Seeding In the

ST PAUL, MINI, May l3.-The out
look for finishing wheat seeding in the
Northwest is very discCuraging. 1t has
raiuel almost continually for nearly two
weeks, and the ground is thoroughly
soaked, and II some places water is stand
ing from six inches 10 a foot deep in the
fields that are already plowed and ready
tor seed. Nothing has been done for more
than a week, aud even should the weather
turn bright and warm nothing can be done
for three or four days more, and in some
places a week would not put the ground
IN working condition.
The worst condition Of Affairs is in
Southern Minnesota and Dakota, as the
rains have been heaviest III those sections
North of line drawn through Minnea-
polls end st. Paul the crop Is not suffer

part OF Minnesota there are thousands OF
acres that will not he sowu at all this year,

ground gets in condition to he worked.
Farmers are devoting their land TO oats
and other grain, and the wheat acreage
will be about one OnC-touIth less than last
