MONKEY AND BULLDOG.
How n Venerable Simian Punished an Ag
gressive Canine.

BTebbtNe Subihes
Some species of the monkey family
are held sacred by the Hindoos, with
the result that the naturally mischiev-
Gus animals become extremely familiar
so familiar, indeed, as to be really a
nuisance, at least in the eyes of Euro
pean residents. The author of Thirty
Eight Years in India" gives an amusing
account of an experience of his dog with
one of these sacred mischief-makers:
"The monkey took up his position day
after day on the lower branch of large
mango tree, and there he remained, in
different to all thfeats and intimidation;
and this led to delicious result"
81 have already mentioned Toby, my
unparalleled bulldog. When the nuis-
ance of these sacred monkeys began to
be annoying, Toby interested himself in
making occasional raids upon the in
truders, but with little effect, and he
seemed quite distressed by his failures.
One day was standig with the dog
by my side when he observed our defiant
old friend take his seat as usual on the
branch. AS he allowed his tail to hahg
down it struck me, and verify believe
it struck Toby also, that, although his
body was out of reach, his tail might be
grabbed.
81 spoke in low tone to Toby; he
seemed to understand, crouched, and
very gradually approached the tree. Tho
monkey remained immovable and APP
parently unconcerned, and the tail con-
tinued to hang temptingly down.
Suddenly Toby made rush for the
tail. Every thing bespoke triumph
long delayed.
"Alas! alas! The venerable monkey
never moved, but as Toby's open
mouth turned upward to seize at least
the tail, he quietly, but at the proper
moment, lifted it up with his left hand
as gentleman would raise his coat-tail
to enjoy the fire, and, STOPPING slightly
forward, gave Toby pleasant box on
the ear with his right hand, looking at
him as he passed with calm and satirical
Indifference.
"More amusing still was the fact that
after this rehearsal the experiment was
repeated more than once. / can still
vividly recall the calm, philosophical
Indifference of the monkey, the calcu-
lating advance of the impassioned and
yet batiled Toby, the repeated rush, the
quiet elevation Of the tail, and the in
sulting pat on the gasping cheek" IS,

My DEAR NEPHEW: learn that you

that am not on the best terms with
members of your craft. They have hurt
my feelings more than any other people,
and given me much pain. / am not on
familiar enough terms with them to loaf

chair much, and encourage him with a
iob-when can avoid it. can't feel at
home there some way.
Last week had mouth full of tooth
ache, and it bulged out my jaw about a
foot. The pain could not be told,
though l had it right at the end of my
tongue. People could hear it ache clear
across the street. / dreaded to get it
pulled for the dentist said it would be
necessary for me to be there in person,
and it could not be done by telephone,
and l could not send hand, or l would
have sent my mother-in-law gladly.
The family said if that tooth growled
half as much as did it must hurt awful.
Its very heart throbbed for me wildly,
but could not encourage the attach
ment. l wanted to get away from that
tooth.
When / was forced to go to the dentist,
he told me to take that seat and put on
one of my sweetest smiles and he would
take the tooth in q second. / was in
hopes he could take it with a camera,

would get the wrong one, but he said he
could see it aching as il it was being
paid. / asked him if it was necessary
for him to be in tho neighborhood, and
he said it was. l was in hopes it would
jump out itself, it was such jumper.
When he got hold of it he only sue
ceeded in pulling yell out of my mouth
half mile long. He told me to shut
my mouth or would wake up all the
babies on the block. / told him If / did
shut my mouth he could not get at the
tooth. Then he spit on his hands and
took fresh grip, put his foot ON my
stomach and pulled. AT last it came out
to see what was going on. My neck was
stretched out foot and hasn't gone
clear back yet. But the old tooth-it
looked like the forks of the road. 1t
was wisdom tooth; but it was very un-
wise. / tell you | felt proud.

PHILLIPS LEGION.
THE REUNION LARGELY ATTENDED.

The third annual reunion of Phillips
Legion, OF Confederate veterans, was held
at Glover's Grove, near Marietta, on last
Thursday, 2lst inst The attendance was
large, and the affair was success in every
particular.
The Marietta Silver Cornet band headed
line of about $50 survivors, who marched
from the court house to the grove. 4
number of these old veterans showed the
marks OF war in empty sleeves lost legs
and other physical disabilities, but more
enthusiastic and well pleased crowd in
participating in the pleasures of the occa>
sion would be hard to find.
At the well shaded grove large crowd
of ladies had assembled also, and the en-
tire crowd was estimated from 1900 to
1000.
General Phillips announced the program

justly due the many congratulations he re-

sponded in his usually gifted and eloquent
style, making a speech of great power
pathos and beauty, warming the hearts Of
his old comrades with words that breathe
