ON a seat in the Boston and Maine depot here
a satcnel containing two $500 United States

other articles, and on returning for them they
were gone. About a week ago young girl
from nelghboring New Hampshire town came
into the Office Of lawyer and told this story;
On July she and her mother were standing
on the depot platform, when lady dressed in
black handed her the satehel, with request
to hold it while she got a ticket. The lady in
black failed to return. and the girl took the
satchel TO their New Hampshire home. There
they looked at the contents. seemingly only
some cotton batting and other things.
The satchel was laid aside until few days
ago, when, having need of some cotton, she
went to get 1t, and discovered the treasure.
The next day she came to the lawyers offloe

Har IsMelrr il Safe.

Mrs. James Crawford has annoyed the city
police greatly to-day by telling how she lost and
recovered SO, 900 worth Of diamonds recently.
Mrs Crawford is a woman Of wealth and a rela-
tive of the late Commodore Garrison. Ten
days ago she hid her diamond earrings, dia-
mond brooch and other jewelry under bit of
bric-a-brac in her back parlor. Only a servant,
whom she had had for years, and seamstress
knew where she had placed the trinkets. Two
days later the jewelry vanished. Mrs. Craw-
ford told the police all about her loss, and they
at once pitched upon the seamstress as the
thief. After several scenes, in which the sus-
pected woman and Mrs. Crawford went into
Mysteries the police decided they had made
mistake and tried the trusted servant. Several
more scenes andno traces Of the jewelry we're
the results. No clew to the identity Of the
thief had been discovered until this morning,
when messenger boy appeared at Mrs. Craw-
fords door with a little box While Mrs.
Crawford was undoing the package the boy
ran away. The box contained all Of the miss
ing jewelry, carefully packed, but unaccom-
panied by a word of explanation. The police
explain their inability to clear up the mystery
by maintaining that some Of Mrs. Crawford's
friends have merely had little lark with her
and her diamonds,

Doesn't BeIieve Br,co win win.

Z The Hon. Julius Dexter. the lone mugvump
of Cincinnati, has been telling the politicians
at his hotel, to-day, why he thinks Calvin S.
Brice will not succeed Senator Payne in Con-
gress. He said: II am not so sure as most
people that Colonel Brice will be elected The
strongest point against him, and one that is
being urged for all it is worth, is that he is q
nonresident. Some have it that he even did
not vote in OHIO. Doubtless money Will have
some influence. but do not think the Legisla-
ture Of Ohio viii select a Senator on account
Of his wealth. Allen o. Myers speech. adVis-
ing the members of the Legislature not to elect
a millionaire will have some effect. But Col
onel Brice's wealth is not against him so much
as the fact that he is resident of this city.
There are several candidates in the field, and
in my Judgment either Of them stand as good
chance as Colonel Briee. They are Thomas, Of
Springfield. McMahon, Of Dayton, and Mr..
Neal. They are well known in the State, and
are residents Of long standing. These three
candidates might. after few ballots. consent
to join their forces and defeat Colonel Briee.
My idea is that Colonel Brice will not have a
walkoyer and may never reach the goal first.

Dogs that Learn Trades.

Scientific American.
The dog corps, long since establish
ed in the army, has been recently
much increased, 50 efficient have these
little soldiers become. At an early
stage of the trials they gave satisfac-
ton as advanced posts, scenting or
hearing a stranger approaching even
in the darkness, and quickly learning
the difference between a friendly and
a foreign uniform. The latest trick
the military dog has learned is that
Of carrying dispatches between dis
tant sections of an army or reliefs or
re.enforcements presumably advanc-
ing through hostile country. The
system is an offshot of the dog SNUG
gler system, which is described in the
current number of BlackwoUd's, and
the steps by which the animals are
taught to understand what is wanted
of them is best shown by reference to
that article.
The smuggler in broad day walks
across the frontier, his dog by his side,
leaving the latter at the house Of his
accomplice and returning without
him. When night falls, the dog is
given beating and turned loose to
find his way home. Next he has a
small packet fastened to his collar,
and gradually the burden is increased.
Then half dozen or more are en-
ployed at the same time the most
intelligent being given no burden,
that he may the more readily act as
q scout for the others. He goes ahead,
they keeping well back, till he gives
them the signal that the coast is clear.
The customs dog from its earliest
years is made tC play hide and seek
with bags of coffee, rolls of lace, pack
ages of tobacco, and the like. They
do not bark, being taught to sit silent
ly in ambush and give a low growl or
simply cock their ears and point the
true direction of the advancing pack.
The French army dogs, mastifis,
like the smugglers' dogs, though first
they must be taken from point to
point to find them again, when they
get to understand the idea, and what
is wanted of them, will find distant
column or command with little diff
Guilty if given the general direction,
unless it be at too great a distance,

had bet a farm that Jake was wrong
he'd have lost the farm. A fire built
in the tree as the old hunter describ-
ed made a lively tree of it for n few
minutes, for thirty-four black snakes
came wriggling and comforting them
selves out of the hollow trunk, and
only two were agile enough to get
away into I bushes. After the
snake COLONY had been cleaned out,
and the jubilant hunters had come
back and congratulated Uncle Jake
on his knowledge of coon and snake
lore, the old hunter quietly remark
ed:
"Oh, | knew you'd find it that way
if you took the trouble to investigate.
But you're pack of dum-gusted
fools for doin it.
"HOw's that?" said Sam Greedy in
surprise.
'Cause, if you'd left them snakes
in the holler," replied Uncle Jake,

load of coons holding council in the

it."
