The Man About Town of the st. Louis Re-
public, "outside of that of a dog for his

is an old negro about 70 years of age, who
was born a slave in General JubaI Early's
family, brought up with 'Jube, became his
body servant, served all through the war
with him, as watchful of his master as a
mother of her babe. After the war Joe was
informed that he was free. Use free?' said
Joe, with look of contempt. Use not free.

Early is very fond of his servant, and has
told every shopkeeper in Lynchburg to let
Joe have anything ne wants, and send the
bill to him. Joe follows his master around
on certain occasions like a dog. When
Early lets the mountain dew of old Vir-
ginnv get the better of him, Joe will say:
Mass Jube, you mus come home"
"Why, who are you talking to? Who's
boss, anyway"
"Well, Mass Jube, when you's sober
you's boss, but when you's drunk Use

"Well, Joe, you're right. When I'm drunk
you're boss"
And Early will resign himself to the
faithful old darkey's care.

''The fact is, George, the new minister has

A long silence followed, during which
George absently helped me to pickles and
mustard, while his wife sat looking as de-
mure as saint at circus. Suddenly she
exclaimed:

don Field relates the following instance of
canine retribution which came under his
notice few days ago: Two shepherds ON the
North Derbyshire moors, living in adioin-
ing cottages far removed from any other
dwelling, had each dog of the cur breed
that were sisters. One of these gave
birth a few weeks ago to a litter
of five whelps, and all seemed to
go well with them until the 28th of last
month. On that day, in the early morning,
the mother of the pups was in the yard eat
ing her breakfast, when the sister appeared
on the scene. An attempt was made by the
intruder to share the meal, This was re-
sented by snarl and growl, which failed
to drive off the hungry sister, and again she
essayed to appease her appetite, when she
was fiercely attacked and severely mauled,
and went limping away bowling with pain.
About an hour after this incident. the
owner of the cur with family went on his
round of inspection, taking his dog along
with him. Their departure would appear to
have been noticed by the vanquished sister,
for about an hour afterward she stealthily
made her way to the stable wherein were the
Whelps before named, and worried them all.
Having accomplished this terrible revenge,
she proceeded to carry her victims to place
OF concealment, but was caught in the act
by one of the shepherds children.

BEETHOVEN'S LAST PLANO.
1t il to be Placed at the Birthplace of the
Composer.


Pail Mall Budget.1
The "Beethoven's House Society,"" Bonn,
has recently acquired Beethoven's s last piano.
1t was made by the court piano maker,
Konrad Graf, who died at Vienna in 1851.
He went to that city in the beginning of this
century, and soon gained reputation by
the excellence of his pianos. The instru-
ment in question was expressly ordered
from him by Beethoven. In consideration
of his deafness, it was made with four strings
to each key, instead of the usual three. Ow-
ing to the strength of its tones, Beethoven
used it almost exclusively in the last years
of his life.
After his death it passed into the hands of
bookseller, Franz WINNER, of Vienna;
and, after the marriage of his daughter to a
Swiss clergyman named Widmsnn, it be-
came the property of the Widmann family
in Berne, Its genuineness is proved by
documents, and confirmed by the authority
of Johannes Brahms. It is now to be
placed in the house in which the great COM
poser was born at Bonn.
