Three weeks ago an Indiana
man taught his dog, a very finely

tobacco. Now the dog comes into
the house by the back door, never
goes to church, is careless at his

with a lower grade Of dogs, and ii
IS feared that he is beginning 10

MISS ROSES RUSE.
BY NJ. L. SAFFOLD,

A good many years ago, before
the late war, | was travelling in
the South Oh a steamboat which
ran on the Alabama river, be-
tween Montgomery and Mobile.
A gay party of young people had
boarded The steamer, going on IA
pleasure excursion TO Mobile.
There was to me much amusemen,
and interest in Watching the do
lnes OF these young folks. | was
attracted by one girl, and soon
singled her out for observation.
She was quite young, certainly
not over eighteen, full Of life and
vivaclty, and as lmperious to the
gentlemen who ilocked about her
as any queen. Culture. refine.
ment and dellcacy were SO marked
in her that l thought of her as
some fair lily, which the touch OF
even air and sunshine might III
lure. and | wondered as | gazed at
her sunny hair, soft, blue eyes and
fragile form how the poor child
could ever meet the duties and
cares of life without being crush
by them. With the freedom OF
Southern life, she was travelling
without any special chaperon or
protector; nor did she need one,
as everybody treated her with un.
bounded respect.
One day | was sitting OH the
guard I.rail of the boat near the la
| dies cabin, when saw one of the
boat hands come up from the
depths below. lie was a stout
young colored boy, scarcely grown
black and grimy from his work
Upon his cheek was an ugly cut
fresh and bleeding. He whisper
ed some request to the coloret
chambermaid, who was standing
near me, Of which l caught only
the words: "She's my young mis-
lis.' The chambermaid disap
peared inside the cabin and 500,
returned, accompanied, to m.
great astonishment,by Miss Oliver
the young girl Of whom l hav'
been speaking. She advanced
promptly TO the colored boy, ,shool
his sciled had kindly with her Owl

The Wine and Spirit Gazette says

The Wine and Spirit Gazette says
that the Mississippi act is The se'
verest liquor law ever passed by
any Legislature in the United
States. A liquor dealer can do
business only in the front part OF
his shop, where men can be seen.
He must not sell adullerated Ii.

The Kansas City Medical College
is having trouble over a colored
student who was admitted TO the
institution a few weeks ago. He
is light mulatio, and represented
at first that he was a halfbreek In
dian from Oklahoma. and that he
had attended both the Fiske and
the Howe Universities. All went
smoothly for a lime, until the stu
dents discovered that he was no
Indian, and then trouble began.
The faculty has asked him to leave,
and he says that he will have a
lawsuit first. The negro citizens
are talking about prosecuting the
officers of the institution.
