A correspondent sends from Michigan
a true story Of "A farmers dog who has
been found guilty Of obtaining goods
under false ~pretenses.
He is extremely fond Of sausages, and
has been taught by his owner 70 90

Day after day he appeared at the
butchers shop, bringing his masters
order. and by and by the butcher be-

came, the farmer complained that he
was charged with more sausages than
he had ordered.

DOG AND COUGAR IN A FIGHT.

Mail Carriers Canine Companion
Makes a Good Show Against Odds
Jim Mcmahon. who carries the mail
into Vance. was iding leisurely along
the trail with the nail pouch slung over
his horses back. and his dog, a big,
courageous an nal, bnmful Of fight,
and ready 70 Laekle anything from a
mouse to a belr, was trotting ahead ot
the horse, OCCASIONALLY making short
Excursions into the forest through
which the roads winds on the trail OF
some wild animal.
Suddenly, after having made a dash
through the brush, the dog came tear
ing out into the road, uttering savage
and fierce banks. his hair brlstling and
eyincing u~nmistakable signs Of terror.
Jim at once surmised that the cause OF
the dog retreat must have been due
to an ~apparition Of some unusually
large wild animal.
Squirting his horse he rode up 10 h
point where the dog was still growing
and encouraged the animal 10 attack
the unseen cause Of the commOtion.
The dog responded by a fierce rush into
the brush. and in "A few minutes APP
peared near the road in savage con
fict with a large cougar. After a short,
fierce round both went down, the dog
on TOP. His master knew, however,
bv his screams and growls that the dog
was not having the fight all his own
way.
The Q had leaped and fastened
his cleaning fangs on the dogs head,
while his hind feet, with sharp claws.
were tearing into the dogs side, and
were making the hair and the blood
hy. The horse, which had now seen
the wild animal, was plunging and
rearing in terror. Jumping from hi;

to the dogs rescue.
Cougar and dog were rolling around
and round, now one On top and then
the other. and moving so swiftly it wa
hard TO distinguish them. They were
all tangled up in a maze Of hair, blood
and blood curdling yelps and screams
jim wanted 70 kill the cougar but
didn't want 10 kill the dog So Ia
waited for an opportunity, and then

the cougar at this time released hi

A Frightful Wreck on a Railroad
Near Basic, Switzerland.

BAsLE, June 15.-Further details of the
terrible railroad accident which occurred
Yesterday at village near here, on the Moen-
chenstein and Basic Railroad, show that two
engines and three carriages, loaded with
excursionists, fell into the stream which
flowed beneath the iron bridge which gave
way and caused the disaster. These carriages
and engines now form shapeless heap of
wreckage beneath the bridge structure, and
by its own size prevented two other carriages,
which were suspended practically in the air,
from falling and still further increasing the
number of killed and wounded. So far 1870
excursionists are said to have been drowned,
with many citizens of Basic and its neighbor-
hood. OF the large number of persons
Injured, over 800, many have suffered so
seriously that it is considered likely that their
injuries will terminate fatally, as they consist
of bad decorations, and in some cases limbs
have been completely severed.
Shortly after the first horror of the crash,
ing of the engines and cars through the bridge
and into the swiftly running stream had died
away, the survivors of the accident saw a
scene which must have rivalled in horror the
most hearlrending features Of the Johnstown
disaster in the United States. Beneath the
bridge, or what remained of it, was hideous
mass of broken car wood, car wheels, engines,
railroad car upholstery, seats, mats, axles,
broken glass, twisted tinwork, intermixed
with still quivering heads despatched with
blood and brains, protuding arms and legs,
bloody garments of all descriptions, hats and
bonnets, umbrellas and parasols, hands and
feet, while floating down the stream were
numbers of dead bodies and family struggling
men, women and children, few now and
then uttering horrible cries of terror or emit
ting those fearful, gurgling, suffocating,
moaning gasps peculiar to the drowning.

Why it is Scored.

The Baltimore Sun seems not to understand
how it is that the rural press give it SO many
gibes, for it declares it is only interested in
having proper candidates nominated. No
candidates would be considered proper by it
unless dictated by the Sun, but the question
arises what has the Sun to do with the selec
ton? 1t is not Democratic paper, and
does not profess to be. And not only is this
true, but it is endeavoring to disturb the har
mony now prevailing in the party by inuendo
and Misrepresentation. Every observer knows
that the people are taking large hand in
the make up of the Democratic ticket, and
they will select such candidates as they desire.
When the people make ticket they will see
to its election. Does the Sun regard the
people incompetent to name proper candi-
dates? If not, why don't it let them alone,
and not endeavor to discomfort them by insin-
uating that there was some Interior design in
calling the nominating convention for July
3O-about the usual time for nominating state
tickets-and by limitations that horrid bosses
are working diabolical schemes for self-ad-
vancement This is not true, and such course
is calculated to cause dissatisfaction. The
Democratic press propose to correct all false
impressions, and the Sun may expect to be
dashed whenever it tries to work its schemes
against the Democratic party.

Counting the Money.

1.-THE money appropriated by the late billion
Congress, wrested from the sweat and toll OF
the people by taxation. were coined into silver
dollars, the counting Of the pile, dollar by
dollar, would be a serious business.
Let us suppose one man TO take the job.
If he counted at the rate of fifty dollars a
minute, which in a long continued count
would be impossible, and worked eight hours
a day every day in the year except Sundays
and thirteen other days for holidays, or, in
other words, let him work eight hours day
three hundred days in the year, how long
would it take him to count il all if it were
possible to count fifty minute?
Let us see.
If Christopher Columbus had undertaken
the Job, and began counting on that eventtul
day when his eye first rested on the new world,
he would not have completed the contract yet.
He would not have gotten well down to
work by this time.
Ii would take him ten more centuries-ohe
thousand years longer to complete the count.
If King John of England had undertaken
the job the day he put his signature to Magma
Charter he would still be working at it, and
would have nearly eight hundred years OF
work before him.
IfWilliam the Conqueror had gone to work
the day after the battle of Hastings, he would
by this time have finished counting the ap.
preparations Of the first session and made n
beginning on the second session.
If Alfred the Great had gone diligently to
work the day he assembled the throne Of Eng
land and worked as a well attended steam
engine ever since, he might get through in
the year of our Lord 300.
Charlemage would get through hundred
years earlier, about 220O.
But if our counter had begun about the
time the Vandals overrun the Roman Empire
and captured and plundered the eternal city,
a little more than one thousand four hundred
years ago, he would be about completing the
count at this time.
That's the way business Congress where
quorums are counted can get away with
taxes

Nearly Depleted.

According to an official statement prepared
at the Treasury Department last Saturday,
the net available balance is 81, 43S, 943. This
does not include the amount held by the
banks and the fractional coins, says the Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Leiger, which two items on the first Of June
amounted in round numbers to S43 100000,
and which, added to the net available balance
reported. makes the general balance now
held by the Treasury $I7, 100000.
The fractional coins are unavailable for the
redemption of the public debt, but are for
other debts in sums of $l0or less. The funds
held by the banks are available, but hnanc'ers
believe its withdrawal would produce financial
disaster, and as a fact are not available. The
actual available cash, therefore, is but So,
4Ss, 9l3, shrinkage Of about S89,00O,OOO
since July LIST, year ago. Some S50, OOO,OO0
of bonds are due shortly, and their redemp-
ton must be passed. A decrease Of govern
ment receipts, on account Of the lessening Of
imports by increasing taxation, and the enor'
nous increase appropriations, has produced
this result, and the governments financial con-
dition is embarrassing, at least. The strain
cannot be much longer borne.
When Cleveland and Democratic House
laid down their trusts in March, 1889, there
was a full treasury surplus of about $780,
100000. In two years the available cash is
less then 81, 100000 1t was well the people
reversed the majority in the House at the
last election, and retired some of the mem
beers of the Senate, or the situation would
be much worse before Mr.. Harrson's term
expires A Democratic House, to meet next
winter, can do much to stay the hand of ex
travagance and wastefuuess, but a Demo
cratic President and Senate are necessary to a
complete reversal of the present policy. The
indications point to this result, and if the
farmers and tax payers don't look to their
interests and accomplish this, they will have
only themselves to eensure.
