A Dogs Faithful Service.


Mr.. Robert W. T. Denham died at
West End this morning. With his death
there is connected a strange story of a
dogs devotion.
The dog is not famous breed accus.
toned to petting and fondling, but q lowly
cross between a cur and hound, and yet
he exhibited humane intelligence and
fidelity.
Mr.. Robert Denhem, who lives on the
Green Ferry road, near Westview GENE.
terry, left his house yesterday morning
with his dog and gun to take a squirrel
hunt. he had not proceeded quarter of
mile in the woods when he was stricken
with paralysis, and fell to the ground
speechless and helpless. No human aid
was near. he could not call to his friends
who we're almost within hearing even if
he could have uttered sound.
His dog, his faithful and constant com.
panion for many years, found him in that
condition. Unable to move his master to
his home, he could only stay by his side,
which he did for many long weary hours
which must have seemed days OF agony
to the suffering man.
The dog watched and waited by his
stricken friend, but human aid came not,
and the day was near its close.
Going to his masters house, he went
iu and whining piteously, tried to attract
the attention of the family. They thought
nothing of his queer conduct at first, but
as it continued, they began to notice
his acts more closely. He would start
away from the house whining and bark.
ing, and going a enort distance, would
return when he found they did not follow
him. This he did as many as eight or
ten times.
Finally they decided to follow him
which, when be >aw, was furious with
delight, and set off in a perfectly straigh
line through the woods.
They came upon the old man lying in
the woods unable to move, aud then they
understood the dogs actions. Tenderly
they picked Mr.. Denham up and carried
him to the house. He lay in the same
condition until early this morning, wher
his spirit left his frail tenement of clay a
half past FIVE.

Strangled by a Dog.

By q most singular accident baby
lost its life in Kentucky. John How.
ard, farmer, lives about two miles
below Ludlow, opposite Riverside. His
wife, while engaged in her household
duties, set her 19 months-old child on
the floor. The little one began playing
with puppy that happened to be in the
room at the time. Fastened around the
puppy's neck was long, light chain that
dragged on the floor. The baby and
puppy we're having lively time when
Mrs. Howard heard bump. She looked
around and saw the little playmates
tangled up in hesp, the puppy having
pulled the baby over. The mother
started to pick the child up, when she
was Mortified to find that its face was
distorted and its body limp. She also
found that during the play the loose end
of the chain had in some way become
wrapped around the baby's neck, chok-
ing it to death in the presence of its
mother. Every effort was made to
restore respiration, but it vas too late

- An esteemed correspondent has pro-
pounded to us question which involves
a question in finance far too deep for our
penetration. He says: "A man arrived
at Ell Paso, Texas, with silver dollar in
his pocket He goes into a bar room,
buys drink and gets iu change Mexi-
can dollar, which is worth eighty FIVE
ceuts down there. He crosses the bridge
into Mexico, gets drink over there,
planks down his Mexican dollar and gets
in change United States dollar, which
is worth eighty Eve cents over there. In
this manner he crosses back and forth
until he has bought SO O5 worth of whis-

Rebukcd For Lying.

Ihe following letter was written by
Senator Hampton to Postmaster, General
Wanamaker in reference to the appoint
ment of a postmaster for Columbia. The
Senator sent copy OF it to Postmaster
Gihbes, and by direction of its author
Major Gibbes handed this copy to the
Columbia correspondent fthe Neacs and
Courier for publication.
It is known to be fact, says that cor.
respondent, although the Senator does
not state it in his letter to the Postmaster
General, that be was told by Wauamakel
months ago that Mr.. Edwin T. Gary, q
moderate Republican Of this city, who
had received strong endorsement from
the business community, should succeed
Major Gbbes as Postmaster. In this also
the head of The Postofhce Department
failed to keep bis word. Mr.. Clayton,
an Independent" was appointed for 9
reason which may be guessed.

Senator Hamp!on's pen is pitiless, as
Sherman and others have found before
now. His letter to Wanamaker, which
follows, will maintain his reputation as

memory is not treacherous, your assur.

Gibbes should not be removed uotil the

Not only did you do this, but you volun.
tarily assured me that inasmuch as Co.
lumbia was my postofice you would,
when successor to MI. Gibbes was to be
appointed, consult me.
1t is matter of small Importance to
me who takes the place of Mr.. Gibbes,
but as I Informed him, in passing
through Columbia, Of the promise you
had made, you may, perhaps, under
stand how your action has placed me in
false position.
But it is fortunate for me that Mr..
Gibbes will know that I, at least, told
him the truth, though I was grievously
deceived in believing what was said to

reliance to place on statements emanat.

Another very significant fact that
appears from the School Com missioner's
Annual Report is that of the more than
five thousand children attending the
public schools of the County, only little

No better investment of the same
amount of money can be made by parents
thansto put few dollars into few good
newspapers for their children. We do
not mean SO much the great newspapers
of the: day thatiare filled with sensational
reports Of crimes and tragedies, but those
papers Of q more aolid, literary, histori-
cal and biographical character like the
Youths Companion, of Boston, that are
gotten up with special reference to the
tastes and inclinations of the youth of
the land, and which inculcate good,
wholesome lessons in morals and religion.
Put a paper like this in reach Of your
boys and girls, and it will open up new
world to them, arouse their mental ac-
tivities; and stimulate them to new and
different modes Of habit and thought and
speech. 1t will help!lthem to realize that
they are living in a world of wonderful
opportunities and responsibilities, and
that they themselves have q part to per-
form in the great drama Of life.
