A jolly Sea-Dog.

There is sheep dog on board the
steamer HORROR, which piles between
Rio de Janeiro, New York and Liver
pool, that regularly takes his station on
deck at the third watch, and can be re-
lied upon as thoroughly as the oldest
seaInon on board. His name is Nick, "
and whenever a sail Is sighted nothing
can stop him until he reports il to the
officer on the bridge. He frequently
sights a vessel before the lookout, and
understands what 1t Is to be the first to
report. II he hears the lookout sing
out, he understands perfectly what Is
said, and will obey any order the men
give him. He Is very valuable as ba-
rometer. There Is no change in the
weather which is not foretold by Nick
He only enters the Captains cabin on
important business, either to announce
4 all in sight or predict q change of
weather, which he does in a most re-
markable way. When he wants to in
form the Captain that sail is in sight
he runs IN, and barks vigorously several
times and then walks out. When he
becomes weather prophet he stands on
his hind legs and paws at the barom-
eter, and, according to Captain Hening
and his crew, Nick Is usually several
hours ahead of the instrument. The
steamer was at Rio when the revolution
broke out, and remained there several
d,ys- The dog usually accompanies
the Captain on shore when he goes,
but on the morning of the revolution,
when the troops paraded the streets,
was very anxious TO know what Was go
ing on, and jumped overheard and
swan ashore to satisfy his curiosity.
When Captain Hening came ashore he
was met on the wharf by Nick, who
barked furiously aud tugged at his
pantaloons to go back to the ship. The
Captain said he instantly knew some
thing had happened, and his fears were
verified when he reached the Office of
the company. Nick is about six years
old and has shaggy black-and-tan
coat, with the softest and most intelli-
gent eyes ever set in the head of an ami
mal.-NetO York Star.

The Beecher Statue:

The statue of the late Henry Ward
Beecher, now being made by j. O. A
Ward, and destined to occupy a site IN
Prospect Park, Brooklyn, Is about
ready for casting, but the relatives and
friends OF Mr. Beecher are said to be
very much dissatisfied with it. Accord
ing to one il bears no resemblance at
ali to the great preacher, the position is
a yery awkward one, and the clothes
are SO put on as to lead one to think
that Mr.. Beecher must have been a
yeritable dude Many are complaining
because they hnve not been invited to
see the plaster cast at all, notwlthstand-
ing they were among Mr.. Beechers S
nearest friends, and contributed hber-
ally to the fund for the erection of the
statue. DIR. Searle, who knew Mr.
Raecher for more than twenty-five
wears and attended him IN his last III
ness. said the other day that the only
member of the family who had seen
the statue was Colonel William Z.
Beecher. The widow of the dead
preacher had not been invited to look
at il. and had not done So DIR. Searle
said that he went TO Mr.. Warde's studio
on his own responsibility 81 was
disappointed in the statue, he added,

the left is very poor. OF course L

Beecher, but the likeness is not good

the fact the photograph from which

At the fiftieth hour an auricle of the

At the end of 1873 hours the lungs and

Opportunities for Stanley.

Establishment offers him an engagement
for fifteen nights, promising him one
half of the gross receipts, free OF tax,
and telling him at the same time that
a guarantee fund Of 10000 forins has
been deposited with the Austro-Hun
parian Consul at Cairo, and that the
sketch OF a convenient program from
him would be highly acceptable at an
early date.
A similar proposition has been male
to Stanley by the Vienna Orpheum ad-
minIstration, who inquired of him in
The same letter if he would be willing
70 bring some trained elephants with
him.
Herr Zizula, a manufacturer OF BIZ
lard tables, offered Mr.. Stanley place
as sole purchasing agent for his firm OF
fine and medium fine ivory, at salary
of fifty fiorins per day. with 3 per
cent. commission on the amount Of his
purchases.
The administrators of the Panbion
offer him for the exclusive right of
exhibiting his bust in wax the sum of
20 fiorins, payable at Easter at a
first class Vienna banking-house.
On the part of the Edison Phono-
