A Moving TnII.

Some one is acquainted with very fas-
cinating and wonderfully intelligent dog
named Lion, who shows plainly that he
knows just what is said to him, and also
what is said about him to others. He
manages to do considerable talking HIM
self with his tail; and conversation took
place one day, when lady called on his
mistress, that amused the visitor very
much. During her call, Lion walked into
the parlor with an air of being the right
man in the right place, laid himself com
fortably down on the soft carpet, and closed
his eyes in great content.
"What handsome dog you haveg" said
the lady as her eyes rested on the noble
looking animal.
Lion opened one eye at this.
EYES," replied his MISTRESS land what
is still better, he is a very good dog, and
takes excellent care of the children"
The other eye was opened now, and Lion
waved his tail to and fro along the carpet.
"When the baby goes out, continued
his mistress, she always goes with her,
and l feel sure then that no harm can
come to her"
Lions tail thumped violently up and
down on the floor.

In its obituary notice of Mr.. Spurgeon
the Washington Post said that when enter
ing his church one Sunday he heard a
young man say ''its a id hot day and
that he made it the text of powerful ser
mon against blasphemy. WhereupOn a
correspondent of the Post shows what an
ancient and peripatetic old rounder this
story is. in 1S4S, he says, "the year be-
fore Mr.. Spurgeon entered the pulpit as a
boy preacher, | was the youngest appren-
tice in a printing office, the foreman of
which used to repeat a story exactly iden-
teal with the above, except that he laid it
to the charge of a minister who had labor
ed and died in Erie. Penn, years before,
when the foreman was a boy. Twenty
years later the story was revived, with
Henry Ward Beecher's name in it. After
it had gone the rounds several years in the
face of explicit denalS, | mentioned to
Mr.. Beecher my first acquaintance with
the story, under circumstances which car
ried it back to a period before his birth.
He smilingly replied that he was tired of
denying the truth of the story as applied
to himself, and felt compelled to let it run.
And now the same old lie comes to the sur
face again, with Mr. Spurgeon as the prin-
cipal actor; it will never die. In the dim
future, when some dusky scholar from cen
trail Africa sits upon the crumbling arches
of the congressional library and views the
ruins of the capitol, It will still be in circu-
lation, modified only by inserting the name
of the latest renowned preacher

"And he is so gentle to them all, and
such a nice playmate and companion, that
we would not take a thousand dollars for
him.
The tail seemed in danger of being
thumped and shaken off; it went up and
down, to and fro round and round, in such
uproarious glee.
There was something different, however,
to come. "But Lion has one fault" add
ed the speaker.
The tail was now perfectly quiet, as
though it had been turned into stone: and
if ever a dogs face expressed disappoint-
ment and uneaSiness, Lions did at that
moment
Again and again have | told him that
he must not come into the parlor with dirty
feet and lie down on the carpet, and again
and again does he disobey me-
Poor Lion. The visitor really pitied
him, his expression was so utterly wretch
ed and crestfallen. He packed up, as it
were, his eloquent tail, and skunk mourn
fully out of the room in the deepest hut

4 Very Sly Fox.

Many stories told of the crafty fox are
doubtless incidents of the imagination. But
a writer tells of an anecdote which, though
taxing belief, he says is vouched for by an
eyewitness of the affair. Some fishermen
on the west coast of Ireland were in the
habit of going to a small island few hun
dred yards from the mainland, i'm quest of
bait. The island was inhabited by large
numbers of rabbits, and could be reached
at low tide by wading, the water then be
ing only few inches deep.
One morning they went in their boat
quite early, it being high tide, and OH land
ing saw dead fox lying on the beach.
The fur of the animal was all bedraggled,
and he seemed to have been drowned. One
of the men, remarking that his skin was
worth something, pitched him into the
boat Procuring their bait they returned
to the mainland, and the man who had
possessed himself of the fox seized him
by the tail and flung him on shore As
soon as the animal struck the beach he
picked himself up with considerable agility
for dead fox, and shot off like fash up
among the cliffs, while the men stood star
ing at each other in mute establishment.
The men concluded that he had crossed
over to the island during the night, when
the tide was low, in search of rabbits, and,
finding in the morning that he was cut off
from the mainland, counterfeted death,
with the expectation of thereby procuring
a passage to the shore in a bOat-an eX-
pectation which was fully realized. Dos

Matching. have also seen a few living
specimens about IL feet in length. Proba-
bly, the largest alligator ever seen in Louis
lana was killed in a small lake on the
plantation of II. j. Feltus in Concordia
Parish. According to the statement of
Mr.. Fetus, now of Baton Rouge, this spec
linen measured - feet in length. The
great reptile had long been famous for miles
around, having destroyed numbers of hogs
and hounds owned in the neighbOrhood of
his retreat He had become so wary, from
the number of Intellectual shots fired at
him, as to be almost unapproachable. FL
nally he fell victim to a long shot fired
from Mississippi rifle in the hands of Mr.
Feltus, who had persevered n!hunting him,
having been the greatest loser by his dep
relations. The huge carcass of this rep
tile was tOwed to the bank by boat. 1t
required the strength of pair of mules
and stout rope to haul it ashore, where
the measurement was made with the result
noted above.-JGnudty Century.

The National Debt Of the United States.
From the New York Press

From the New York Press
Estimating five persons to each family,
census bureau calculations demonstrate
that the federal debt of the United States
amounts to SIS. - per family. On sim
liar basis of calculation the debt of Great
Britain is S337.60 per family; of Austro-
Hungary, S354.20, and of France, SjS1. -.
Germany has no statistics from which to
figure out accurately her debt per family,
but the indebtedness is estimated at 500
1t is one of the notable features of the
financial stability of this nation that the
national debt per family is so low, and it is
the subject of comment that while the ratio
of national debt to families has decreased
steadily the national wealth has been grow
ing faster than that of any nation on the
globe, and our capital and resources have
improved more rapidly than those of any
other nation.

The building IA Fire-Trap.

The Hotel Royal was an imposing look
ing tire-trap. 1t consisted of three brick
buildings, with atwood interiors, wood
staircases, wood elevator shafts, wood
floors. The elevator and the stairway were
in the centre of the building. The build
ing was poorly fitted with fire escapes. One
single ladder on the Fortieth street side
served as means of escape Platforms
were at each floor. They were reached by
windows. The Sixth avenue side and the
rear of the building had no fire escapes.
The law requires that in hotels there shall
be a fire escape of some kind in every
room. The testimony of at least two of
the guests who escaped is to the effect
that this law was violated.

Other Disasters RecaIIed.

This fire recalls memories of similar dis
asters in New York city or vicinity in
which there was great loss of life. Sixty
persons persisted when the Park Place
buildings collapsed last August. The
most serious loss of life by fire occurred
at the burning of the Brooklyn theatre in
December, 1876. Kate ClaXton was the
leading actress in the play of the 1.-TWO
orphans which was then being given
at the theatre. After the curtain had
risen on the last act of the play fire was
discovered behind the scenes. The audi
ence became frightened and rushed for the
doors, causing a crush in which many per-
sons were trampled to death. The stairs
gave way and many others were suffocated
or burned Two of the actors lost their
lives and nearly 800 of the persons who
comprised the audience were killed. Less
than 100 of the bodies recovered could be
identified. In December, 1877, a dozen
lives were lost by an explosion caused by
fire in a building on Barcley street and
seven persons were killed in the fire in the
Potter building on Park Row in 1882. In
February, 1883, a slight fire caused panic
in public school building on Fourth street
and Ii children were crushed to death.

whether the higher prices being paid in the

ket Meanwhile the new wool is coming
forward and stocks are steadily increasing,

cleaner and better manner than for several
years, and on this score should command
an advance. Prominent dealers have free
ly expressed the opinion that Ohio and
Michigan woods will show an advance Of

strong competition among buyers and q

this country has been offered. There is a

here, and while prices are no higher they
are very firm. Ohio ! Michigan woods
are in light demand New woods from these

for Texas woods. Territories are selling in
a small way Pulled woods are quiet. There
