The Official reports forwarded by
Colonel Dodds, the commander of the
French forces in Dahomey, ascribe new
terrors to the new explosive, melinitc.
He says that the wounds inflicted by the
bursting of a shell charged with this
compound are especially severe, while
the gases which follow the discharge are
so mephi:ic that not only the enemy but
the attacking troops are likely to be
overcome by them. When he sheled
the Dahomeyan stronghold at Sabovi,
the place was reduced to dust heap in
an hour, but the vapors that arose from
the ruins were so noxious that he was
compelled to order his troops to retreat
to the distance of half mile, in order to
avoid the danger OF suffocation. In the
warefare of the future, remarks the New
York Post, possibly, armies will fight
each other with discharges of chemicals
instead of shot and she'll.

Mexico is progressing. The natives
played American baseball all summer,
and now the skating rink has reached
them. The City of Mexico newspaper,
Two Republics, says: Skating in the
rink is becoming popular pastime, al
though introduced here only a few
months since. The old rink near the
Y. M. G. A rooms continues to draw
crowds every night, and on the special
'ladies' nights it is as full as on the Or
binary nights. Many young ladies of the
leading families may be seen there
whirling around the hall on the skates
and all merry and contented. In the
new rink in Hospital Real street, Just be-
yond the Hotel Jardin, the attendance is
great, and both sexes patronize the ex-
ercise and enjoy themselves as they rush
and mingle in the whirl. On Sunday,
from 10 to o'clock in the day, there
was a special skating party of the elite in
the old rink, for which special invitations
had been issued, and the hall was
crowded.

Transcript, "stock raisers will turn their
attention to the common donkey, and
with few generations of liberal feed
ing, careful grooming and Judgment in
selection, will raise breed that for oil
draught and carrying purposes will be
superior to either horse or mule. The
hoofs of the donkey seem absolutely in
capable of lameness, his endurance is
without parallel save in the camel, and
with good treatment there is no reason
why the size of the breed should not be
greatly increased. The donkey has a
bad name. but ages of ill treatment have
given him a bad temper, which can be
overcome only by kindness.

LApORTE, PA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER %, 1892

"Langham was SO sorry he couldn't
meet you. He won't be back till this
evening, so we-let me introduce Miss
Mildred Palgrave, who is staying with
us-thought we'd drive to fetch you in
stead. l am afraid we are poor sub
stitute for brother Lang, but you must
make the best of 1t and take us on our
merits"
Looking at them I though myself
lucky, and thanked heaven that Lang
could not come, migrate / was.
Miss Palgrave held out weil-gloved
hard, saying, 81 am SO glad to meet you,
for Langham has told me so many stories
about you as a boy that quite feel 1
know you already. But they tell me
that must treat you with respect, for
you're mighty Nimrod now, and a
slayer of wild beasts"
"Not many, I'm afraid. Mere trave-
lers' tales. Some of dear old Laugham' s
yarns," answered /, modestly, but 1
was secretly gratified at her taking such
friendly interest in me.
"You've got to take Mildred and
Goliath (the tiny terrier) in front and
drive" said Nellie, when my luggage

Nothing loath, helped the girls into
their seats, and we were soon at The
Moat, which was only five miles from
the station-a very short five miles, and
l hated Banjo for making the journey
SO brief, when should have liked it to
have lasted forever. My companion
chatted on as If she had known me ali

with her and quite forgot my boyhood's s

her presence as we drove up the avenue

moro like fifteen months than fifteen
years since these kindly folks had last
seen me.
AS we sat at lunch Mr.. Carter apollo

myself with the pike fol- one afternoon.

him, Is huge brute who abides by the
island. He is willy, but as no one has

he'll give you show. Last year he
broke two of my friends, one OF them
twice, and they swore he must be fifty
pounds at least. He ate good sized
duck last summer, and we picked up a
half dead carp not long ago that weighed
over fifteen pounds, and had big hole
in its side like cavern. No doubt it

ing Johnson's directions, swung it well
out into deep hole at the mouth of O
back water that ran round little island
in front of the house.
"That's the place, just where your float
is now," cried the squire, who with the
girls had come down on the lawn to
watch the fun.
A charming oupthey made-that fine
old country gentlemen, the picture of
health and good nature, with three pretty
girls standing by him, and Don, his
sedate old pointer, at his heels; while

ment. AS my bait touched the water
the excitable little dog pricked up his
ears, and advanced at the waters edge,
surveying it critically as if he fancied it
might be some vagrant water rat with
whom 1t was his duty to do battle.
"Come to heel, Goliah, come to heel,
called Mildred. you'll tumble in and
catch your death of cold.'
But she called in vain, he needed not
her warning, and / almost forgot
my fishing, so taken up was l with
watching the comical little beast, as he
lodged about the bank in fussy impor-
tance, his red jacket contrasting prettily
with the dry grass aud weeds.
My bait was so big and lively that it
kept the float moving brisklv, constantly
pulling it under, and as l had no spare
corks was obliged to let it go, hoping
that sensible patriarch would discrimi-
nate between bony roach and float
and prefer the former, in spite of the
attractive red top of the latter.
However the eccentric vagaries of the
said red top attracted all Master Go
liath's attention, and each time the float
bobbed up he gave little jump and a
yap in unison. At length his excitement
grew so intense that we all burst out
laughing. To him it appeared no laugh
ing matter, but serious subject which
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1892-12-23

required investigation, and when the
bright red top disappeared longer than
usual he could stand it no more, but
jumping with dash, regardless OF the
bitter cold water SWAN out for the point
where he last saw the float.
Mildred's face was a study. "Oh, my
poor little dog" che cried. "Do get
him out at once, Mr.. Galloway, and
bring him-in in. Don't lose moment. T"
AS we'll as his laughter would let him
johnson was padding to meet the bold
swimmer, aud leant ready in the bows,
with my sleeves turned up, to grab him
as soon as he was pear enough. His
round, little head and big eyes and red
coat made him look like some strange
new water baby ONE to view the world.
When he was within SIX feet of the boat j,
aud l was just making ready for the
grasp, there was mad swirl that sent
the water flying into my face, rush, a
huge pair of jaws swept the surface, and
in moment tne Patriarch had pulled
poor Goliah under the water, aud he was
lost to our sight!
All the girls screamed in chorus, and
Mildred gave such weird, wild, ago
nized cry, as she saw her darling disap-
pear to certain death, that felt almost
as if were a murderer; for had l not
been fishing this would never have hap
pened.
Johnson had all his wits about him
"He's gone for his hold there under
the willow" said he, driving the slow
punt forward, and plunging the pole
deep into the water in hopes of frighten-
ing the monster off his prey. As he did
so up came fish and dog, the latter strug-

across the pixies jaws, whic made him

CHRISTMAS.

Oh, the glorious Christmas weather, wher
all hearts keep time together,
And We never have feeling that is no
serene and bright;
When the snow is falling, falling, and the
sound of coasters calling
To their fellows on the hillside echoe.
clearly through the night.
How the sleighbells tingIe, tingle. while the
snow goes crinkle, crinkle.
And the furs and robes about us hardly
serve to keep us warm;
And our feet and fingers tingle to the music
and the jingle,
As we drive on swiftly homeward through
the thick flying storm.
How the lights shine out to meet us; how the
dogs rush out to greet US,
As we draw up at the gateway; and the
horses, in a steam.
Stand there restless, stamping, stamping In
the drifting snow, and clamping
At their bits, impatient of us-like the
shadows in dream.
How the blazing hickory fire flashes higher,
higher, higher,
As we pile the wood upon it and draw
closer all around;
And the cracking and the swapping of the
logs, like wood-gnomes rapping
For release from out their prisons, has a
weird and wintry sound.
Oh. the warmth and love within there Oh,
the stories that we spin there
out in all the snow;
And at length we leave the fable, and recall
the lowly stable
Where the King of Love was lying many
centuries ago.
Till, as we all sat there thinking, little eyes
with sleep are blinking,
And the old clock in the hallway tells of
Christmas come again;
And the whole white earth rejoices as we
hear the angel voices
Sing again the old, old story: "Peace on
earth, good will to men,"
Then to wake up at the dawning of glori-
GUS Christmas morning,
To find everybody happy with the warmth
of Christmas cheer.
All, when love is such feeling, all our bet
ter selves revealing,
Let us dwell in love forever and have
Christmas all the year.
