His Dog Retrieved the Bomb.

A rather reckless Biddef I'd (Me ) man, with no respect for law or gospel, is said to have devised scheme for catching trout by the wholesale, which did not work as well as he thought. He thought that bomb exploded in tn, brook would bring all the fish in it t.. the surface, so that he would only hay, to pick them up. He provided himsel
 with a bomb powerful enough to blast a schooner out of water and went to a
 local brook in which there were said to be lots of trout. He fixed the fuse, ig- nited it, and threw the bomb into the brook. As he did so his dog jumped il' after it, seized it in his mouth, got bacl. to shore, and started after his master
 who was logging it across the field as fast as he could in the realization of hi. danger. The man had the good luck to get over fence, which bothered the dog, and moment later, hearing an explosion, he looked around to sec his dog going slxyward. d.-Lewiston Journal.

 ''It is very unfortunate" he said. "De Gex might as well have accepted this commission. We soldiers fight for France, and for France alone. Govern ments are an accident; they are here to- day and gone tomorrow. And the di- rectory won't last. However, the die is cast. There is nothing more to be done. By refusing Bonaparte's offer De Gex has made an enemy who neither forgets nor forgives."
 "Then De Gex is going to be shot merely for offending Bonaparte?"
 'I did not say that; but you can draw your own conclusions. am afraid you also have offended him."
 "Why? How could I know that Dc Gex would refuse an offer which gave him his life?'
 "But the general will say that you ought to have known. He may even imagine that Dc Gcx has placed you in communication with some of his royal. ist friends and that you are in sympathy with them. The best thing you can dc is to keep out of his way for few days"
 This was my own opinion. If had lost his favor because De Gex had re- fused his offer of a commission in the

THE CASAS GRANDES.
Prehistoric Ruins to Be Reproduced at the Worlds Fair.

Prehistoric Ruins to Be Reproduced at the Worlds Fair.
 Along the cliffs bounding many of the mountain streams in Arizona the explorer will find vast excavations made in the solid rock, and which at some time, long anterior to this, have been the abode of human beings. Frag- ments of ingeniously wrought pottery, ollas or jars, filled with charred corn and beans, are found about these mys- terious caverns, and stone hammers and axes, besides other implements of the laborer, are often dug from the ground in the vicinity. These are the ruins of the cliff dwellers, about whom so many conjectures have been made by scien- 'tists and so much has been written. First among these prehistoric relics, both in extent and state of preserve ,tion, are the famous "Casas Grandes." " They are situated in the valley of the Gila, about twenty miles from the sta ,tion of Casa Grande, on the Southern Pacific railway, and are by far the larg. est in extent and in the best state oi
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-11-17

ANCIENT RUINS OF THE CASA CYANIDE. the United States. The features of the cliff ruins are peculiar and in all re- spects they are interesting, but the builders of Los Casas Grandes were to them as our Anglo-American people are to tho native Indians of to-day. The cliffs were the abode of hunted race who burrowed in their caves with the instinct of self preservation which comes to an animal when 1t would avoid it's enemies; the dwellers of the valley lived in great magnifcence, sur rounded by their focks, their herds and their fields of grain, devoting their at tention to the development of their by no means crude arts and sciences.
 In 1887 some of the prominent men of the territory petitioned the government to take some steps to protect the ruins from the ravages of time and weather. Their endeavors were successful and the department of the interior sent men to build roof over it and such walls as would protect it from the sand and windstorms. This has been completed during the last year and the Worlds Fair association is making preparation to reproduce the ruin in Chicago next year. Among the prehistoric ruins of the United States this Is the most prominent and most of all deserves the attention and interest of scientists Though the narrative of its existence has gone forth to the world in many exaggerated forms, 1t has never been examined and passed upon by those who can give any reasonable opinion of it's age and origin. With the story of the cliff dwellers, it is still mystery and one that perhaps will never be solved. The hieroglyphics of the Egyp- tians have been read, but those of pre- historic America have not, and the mysterious ruin of the Casa Grande stands the monument of a people who, it seems, passed from existence almost in a day without a single definite con- clusion to work their origin or extino tiOn.
