A DOG WORTH HAVING.

Ventura (Cal. Gazette.
A reporter of this paper was in
formed recently of a remarkable ex-
ample Of sagacity, understanding
and obedience in a dog. The ami
NAL is what is called shepherd
dog, is 10 years old, was Dorn in
Montana, and cannot understand
English, the man who raised him
being Mexican.
This Mexican is now in the en-
ploy of the Messrs. Schiappa Petra
as sheep herder, and in his duties
is ably assisted by his dog. About
week ago he laid the following ex-
traordinary wager with one OF his
employers: He bet his dog and a
years work against 800 that the
dog would stay or the ranch alone,
unattended by any human being,
for five days; that the animal would
take the sheep to pasture in the
morning and bring them to the
corral at night, and in fact look out
for the sheep in every way as well
as a man could.
The bet was taken, and the Mexi.
can, first hanging up plenty of meat
tor the dog to eat, gave his instruc.
tons to his dumb assistant and left
the ranch. coming to town. Last
Sunday the money was paid over by
Mr.. Schiappa Petra, the dog having
carried out, for FIVE days, the in
structions of bis master and win
ming the wager for him.
The Mexican says his employers
are very rich Cot course they are)
but that they have not money en-
ough to buy that dog.

DO YOU SMOKE.

The late Judge KELLEY, it is sta.
ted was like Gen. GRANT, a victim tc
tobacco. For years he was an in.
veterate smoker, and he also chewed
At night he would sleep with a quid
of tobacco in his mouth. Some
years ago cancer developed upon
that part of his cheek against which
the toabcco rested at night. He had
it cut away, and acting upon the
advice OF his physician, he gave up
smoking and chewing. He had a
very strong will, and kept his reso.
luton, but he said that the desire
for tobacco was almost maddening,
and that he frequently had to leave
places where there was tobacco
smoke. His system had become sat
urated with nicotine, however, and
he never recovered from the effects
of it.

YOUNG MAN. Go TO AFRICA.

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Young man, go to Africa! That
is Millionaire Huntington's advice
to the youth of this country who
want to make their fortunes. Mr..
Huntington doesn't address his ad-
vice to all young men who want to
make money. There are fortunes to
be made on the Congo, in rubber
ivory, skins and precious stones,
and the climate on the uplands il
excellent. The only drawback
about Mr.. Huntington's advice il
that he thinks young man ought
to take from $4,000 to 100000
along with him to start in business
Now, what in the name of goodness
would young man with $4,000 OF
100000 cash want to go to the
jungles of Africa to make fortune!
With that amount of surplus cash,
he could make a good thing in Geor-
gia.

A GROWING EVIL.

Wife desertion and bigamy are
alarmingly on the increase in the
United States. It's not confined to
any section, but in every State these
crimes are reported as being COM
mitted. In Georgia similar infrac-
tons frequently occur.
Some times it is the case that hus-
band and wife have lived many years
together and the husband becomes
infatuated with another woman and
deserts wife and children and elopes.
1t is also not infreqent that man
comes into community a perfect
stranger, but soon ingratiates him
self into the good option of the
people and finally into the good
graces and affections of some pure
and unsuspecting maiden, marries
her, and then when he tires of love,
departs suddenly without even a
goodbye.
These lecherous scoundrels should
not be allowed to go scot free, un-
pursued and unpublished, but on the
contrary, they should be pursued
and arrested and punished much
more severely than the midnight
burglar. The latter only robs you
of property that can be replaced by
industry anc economy, but the
bigamist and wife deserter wrecks
homes and hearts, leaves ruin and
years of suffering and disappoint.
ment. He robs the heart of its Joy
the mind of peace and the cheeks O.
the bloom of health. Black, brutist
and unteeling must be the wretch
who will desecrate the marriage re
lation, one of the hottest of God,
ordinances, and trample on thu
loyal affections of a pure woman
Gods best gift to man, in such
diabolical manner. Such a brut,
should be dashed on the naked bacl
through the country by every mai
he meets and no stopping p1ac,
should be his, even after the law ha
dealt with Eim, in it's too lenien
manner.
1t is high time that public senti
ment should cease to allow thes,
bigamists to escape with ilnpunity
but the Nervousness of the evi
should arouse public indignation t.
such an extent as to duly mete GU
just retribution to these lasciviou
scoundrels, who despoil homes
blight lives so ruthlessly, and with
out conjunction of conscience.
1t is only in throwing around the
marriage relation due observance o.
the obligation, until death do part, ,
that the perpetuity Of the family
circle IN all its legitimate results car
be sustained. The law partially
furnishes this safeguard, AND its re.
quirements should be enforced anC
maintained with a jealous and un
fiinching purpose. No guilty MAJ
should be allowed to escape.

FLORIDA is now excited over the
discovery of rich phosphate deposits
The State is fooled with capitalists
and some small fortunes have al.
ready been made. The land in which
phosphate has been found originally
was sold for S1.25 and $3.50 per
acre, and now the lowest estimate is
$1,000 per acre, and some refuse to
sell at all. 1t is said that the phos-
phate beds of Florida are richer
than those of South Carolina or any
that is known. AS source ofwealth
it will excel the orange crop.

FORAKER, the Republican candi-
date who was defeated for Governor
Of Ohio by Campbell, used some very
questionable methods during the
campaign not only to beat Campbell
by knowingly using forged papers,
instigated by one disreputable Wood,
but the same ballot box papers, had
the forged signatures of Senator
Sherman, Butferworth and McKin-
ley, Republican leaders whom be
desired to Kill off. Foraker used the
papers and paid Wood for them.
Now that the disclosures are made,
it virtually kills Foraker, as il
ought.

A Death-D Dealing Joke.
TFrom the Charlotte Chronicle. I

From the Charlotte Chronicle.
Fuller particulars of the death OF
Morrison r. Avery are obtained from
a letter frog, Mrs. Moran, of Morgan
son, to her aunt, Mrs. Harvey White,
of this city, which says: "Morrison
Avery's death was SO sad. Two young
men came with the body. They say
Morrison was taking this wretched
cold, ola grippe" and had gotten some
whiskey and quinine, to take for it.
His two room-mates passing by the
room of an acquaintance, saw bottle
marked "Pure Rye Whiskey," and
thought it would be a good joke to
take it out; and so they took it to their
room, and set it on the mantelpiece.
Morrison had retired, and next morn
ing when he got up, he took up this
bottle and took swallow of what he
thought was his medicine, and it was
carbolic acid. He knew in moment
he was poisoned. He walked to the
wash. stand and fell perfectly uncon-
scious, and was dead in twenty min
utes. They say the room mate who
brought the bottle in, is nearly crazy.
None of them drink at all, and it was
only a joke, taking, as they thought,
the whiskey from this other fellow"
