CORRESPONDENCE ]

A few weeks since the pretty and ac- complished daughter of MT. and Mrs. J.H. Corrin of Meriden, formerly of Coventry, left the parental home nest for the pur- pose of improving her health, starting in company with friend, upon north westward journey, by Chicago and North western railroad, to St. Paul. After spend ing about three weeks with relatives, the family of Chauncey W. Griggs, of the lat ter city, she accompanied them. upon trip to the extreme northwest, leaving St. Paul July 18th and arriving at their destination, Tacoma, W. T., upon the eve of the 21st ut. The last named city becomes the home of Col. Griggs' adoption. The party at present are stopping at the "Tacoma House," overlooking the bay. Miss o. reports improved health and spirits and perfectly delightful weather, adding that the recent eclipse sailing above the snow crowned summit of Mt. Tacoma was fine spectacle, the mountain being grand re. ality of the faithful pen picture-"cleal cut, solitary and eternally white."

THE CAUSE OF THE GOODNESS. Mrs. l.. Fl. Cargill of West One Hundred and Forty fifth street owns the homliest dog above Forty ninth street. He is so ugly that his owner christened him Dude.
 Mir. Charles A. Wachter keeps butcher shop on the corner of Edgecombe avenue and West One Hundred and Forty-hfth street. The butcher owns the handsom- est black cat in Harlem.
 The dog has visited the butcher shop SO often that strong friendship exists be- tween the dog and cat, and their antics to- gether are the talk of the neighborhood.
 Last Monday they were having wrest- ling match in Edgecombe avenue, in front of MT. Grasmucks beautiful row of new houses. They rolled over and over each other 100 times. Then they would sepa- rate, and after chasing each other all over the neighborhood, they would suddenly rush at each other, embrace, and begin their wrestling again.
 The recent heavy rains have badly dam aged the sidewalks in this avenue, and n great hole still marks the spot through which the torrent of water escaped, In their playful embrace the cat and dog rolled into the hole and were nearly drowned.
 They finally climbed out of the excava- tion, but since the accident the animals won't play together. When the cat looks at the dog it is with look of contempt.
 Mir. John s. Devlin, an expert in animal signs of recognition, told the writer that the cat planes the dog for the accident, while the dog is of the opinion that the cat should have warned him of the dangerous sidewalk. Whoever is to blame the fact is quite apparent that they do not speak as they pass by.-NcsO York Sun,
