A Dog story.

A week or two ago the porter Of the Bristol
ROYAL inflrmary was disturbed ono morning
about 0,so by tho bowling Of dog outside
tic building. Finding that it continued, be
went out and tried to drive il awas; but il
returned and continued to howl so piteoasiy
that be was obliged to 60 ont 70 it cgain.
This time he observed that one Of its paws
was injured He therefore, brought 1t Ia
and sent for two nurses, who at once dressed
tho paw, aud were rewarded by every canine
sign d gratitude, including much licking Of
their hands The patient was retained for
two days, during which time ha received
every attention from thoss inside the house,
and from the neighbors outside, who quickly
heard Of the casa As no one appeared To
clsim the dog. he was sent 70 tho Home for
Lost Dogs IN the city, where SO interesting an
animal wac, Of course, not long in finding q
purchaser. The dog was one OF those called
"lurchers.s
have myself called ON the porter OF the
infirrnory for confirmation Of the story, and
am ASSURED by him of its truth How did an
apparently fgiendkss dog know where 10 80

OF the dog which took its friend for treat

proper TO give me quite an amount Of
newspaper notoriety, something l never
sought OF wanted but do think, in JUS
tice to myself, family and friends, that l
should reply.
In the first place was not ousted from
office, my term of Office had expired for
both 1857 and 1888 Any person who
knows anything about the collectors s
office knows that the Office goes by de-
fault If bond is not given by specified
time, which was my case for 1889.
In regard to being a defaulter and
leading a fast life. it is lie out Of the

have made arrangements to do the same.

His Friends Get the Plums.

Georgetown Democrat
The Republican party of Delaware is
getting ready for the campaign of next
year and endeavoring through it's clubs
to keep its members well in hand for the
contest. That there is much bitter feel
ing among the members, arising from
the way in which the offices have been
distributed is plain, and the old ele-
ments which for 50 long time divided
them are still at work and need only the
opportunity TO show themselves. The
plums which belong TO Senator Higgins
to bestow are given to his own friends as
rewards for their fealty TO him when he
was in need of support, and, as a result,
those who see no prospect of chance at
the spoils are becoming the more embis-
tered because their enemies are so fOrtu'
nate. Nothing the Republicans have
done has ingratiated them in any respect
with the people

ONE of our Pennsylvania exchanges
tried to score mean point against ex-
President Cleveland by saying that Presi-
dent Harrison would not go a-fshing on
Decoration Day. Harrison was jaunting
on yacht yesterday while the Grand
Army memorial service was being held
to which he was expected We have lost
the paper and cannot quote it, VIII our
contemporary have the honesty, fairness
and decency to recall the inuendo against
Cleveland or to speak with like disre-
spect and untruth against Harrison

MONEY is no object with our foreign
representatives. Whitelaw Reid has
leased a palace In Paris for $50, 900 on a
salary Of $4,000. Messrs. Lincoln,
Mccormick and Emory have chosen the
most expensive districts in London as
residences. It seems that they all expect
to win distinction in another manner
than Phelps, Lowell, McLaue and Noyes
won it. They expect a display Of wealth
to place them where modest worth placed
their predecessors.

CARNEGIE made subscription of

THE New York papers were mistaken
in saying that the yacht Restless, on

General Wanamaker. Wanamaker is a

OF course, the South has deep inter

does, manifest just as earnest desire to

Northe people should be watchful and

General Miller to the vacancy on the
Supreme Bench hut intends to nominate

Woods is ''the most worthy and learned
Judge" who instructed the grand Jury 10

Indiana and then when the Indictment
was likely to include "blocks-of-hve'
Dudley. he instructed the jury that the

THE various reports of differences

on the observance of the Sabbath, and ON
the appointments are not likely to prove

practical politicians harshly. He is
hand in glove with Quay. Otherwise
they are all of the "What.are- we-here

obtain the particular Office they strive
for they simply pull themselves to-

are not to be shut off so easily. 1t is
