a wonderful Dog.

Squire Schwab's Office was crowded
shortly near o'clock yesterday after
noon with friends and acquaintances Of
the genial magistrate, who had been i'm
vited into the squire's Office to witness
the truly wonderful feats performed by
q pet dog that had been attached by
Special Constable Burroughs Ia the case
of "A. FL. Moorman against Henry Wei
chelman for S71.95.
Weichehnan travels for a New York
clothing house, and until recently has
lived at 113 Clark street. Moorman
learned that Weichelman was about TO
remove to Gotham and Immediately
brought an attachment suit against him
In Squire Schwab's court. When Con-
stable Burroughs went to the Clark
street house to attach Weichelman's ef-
fects all he found was beautiful dog,
for which the clothing drummer Ia al
legged to have paid $500.
Several children noticed the officer
carrying the dog along the street, and
told him the dog performed tricks and
also smoked cigarettes. When Squire
Schwab's Office was reached and the
magistrate was told Of the dogs won
derful instinct he procured package
Of cigarettes, and after summoning q
number of friends resolved to test the
dogs ability as stated above.
A lead pencil was tied TO the animals
paw, and upon sheet Of legal cap pa
per the dog wrote its name Clancey--in
b very legible manner. Through quill
holder the canine smoked several ciga-
rettes and astonished . the assembled
crowd by expectorating. The dog seemed
to enjoy the sport and the cigarette
smoke seemed to enliven him as he
pranced cheerfully about and amused
the crowd by his funny antics. II il
alleged that the dog formerly belonged
to some English nobleman, from whom
he was stolen Cincinnati Commercial

A Clever DEFENCE.

Sea captains have many adventures.
and the stories Of their wonderful es-
capes seldom lose by repetition. Many
years ago pirates cruised up and down
the English channel to the great peril OF
the merchantmen. The story Is told OF
q Captain Davis, who was noted for his
quick wit as well as for his skill i'm navi-
cation, that he was returning from Ire
land with cargo consisting mainly of
butter.
He had not been out very long when q
pirate was seen coming down upon him.
In vain all sails were spread; every mo-
rnent brought the pirate nearer.
The men were at their wits end. but
the captain knew a trick or two He
ordered his men TO take of their boots
and stockings, and directed that score
Of butter barrels be brought on deck.
In few minutes the barrels had been
knocked to pieces, and the butter was
thickly spread all over the deck and out
side the ship. Not rope nor spar
that was not slippery. Even without
their boots and stockings the sailors
could scarcely keep ON their legs.
On came the pirate, not dreaming how
smoothly he was to be received. Cap
tain Davis assumed an air of submission
and allowed the enemy to come along
side quietly.
But 10! when they jumped over, fully
armed, with pistol in one hand and
sword in the other, they slipped about
and tumbled over each other on the but
tered deck like 30 many rats.
One fellow shot head foremost down
into the cabin, where he was imme-
diately set upon by the boy; another
slid across the deck and shot out into
the sea by an opposite portfolio.
Not one OF them could stand on his
feet, and as pirates are generally super
stitious, an idea seized them that the
ship was possessed of the devil They
hurried back into their own vessel, cast
loose, and Captain Davis got safely into
port at the expense of a few pounds Of
butter. - Youths Companion.

Ths Bared Head At Funerals.

The barred head at funerals Is, for hy-
gienic reasons, becoming q custom Of
the past in some localities. An agita-
lion against it was started by Captain
George A. Raabe, member OF many
benevolent societies in San Francisco,
and as result of his labors nearly
every society of the kind ON the Pacific
coast has adopted resolutions to the ef-
feet that the members shall keep their
hats on at the graves Of their departed
comrades. Grand Army posts in Cali
fornia have followed suit. Societies in
Milwaukee are discussing the same
question. Health Commissioner Win
gate, Of that city, recently made these
sensible remarks ON the subject Of the
exactions of the modern funeral:
Death comes at q time very often in q
family when an overworked and nearly
broken down mother or sister Or wife,
or perhaps q husband, is nearly If not
completely prostrated, and whose health
Is In q most precarious condition. Ply
sicians can testify. as no other class in
the community can, to the often serious
results Of funeral as 1t is conducted
nowadays. A delicate member Of the
family, who perhaps has not been out
of the house for weeks, worn down and

NEw York. Sept. 15.-The iron
steamboat Pegasus, with the men of the
Sixty ninth regiment and the naval re-
serves aboard arrived at her dock, after
hard mig hts battle with heavy sea
and southeast storm. Much anxiety
was felt when no news was received up
to midnight Of the arrival Of the boat
at Fire Island. 1t was very rough on
the ocean and some fears were had that
the boat might have met with an acci-
dent. The naval reserve and the Sixty
ninth regiment were marched to their
armories where they were dismissed by
the governors orders.
A reporter who was on board the
Pegasus sent report Of the expert
ences Of the passengers and reserve.
The boat arrived OF Fire Island light.
two miles off shore, at 8 o'clock D.
m. It was then 20 dark that the
captain decided that the only safe thing
to do waa7to put back to New York. 1t
was blowing q heavy gale from the
southeast and the seas were pound
ing the Pegasus hard. The pilot
was unable to find the can buoy that
marks the entrance to Fire Island inlet.
IL would have been certain destruction
for the Pegasus and her living freight of
500 men to have attempted to run
through the inlet III the darkness. and

and when he had got out fairly into the

Jefferson CorroDorated.

The biggest fish story of the season comes from Saltwater, says the Green wich, N. Y.) Recorder, and strange to say bears the evidence of truth. About 8 month ago Tom Jefferson was fishing in the Hudson and caught on to a fish which pulled him out of his skiff. Jeff ferson's story was laughed at when he told it and he was told that he had been using too much "bait." Last week Tuesday, William Tobin saw a large fish floating on the water, but not drift ing. He secured the dead fish and found it caught by the gills on strong hempen line attached to something in the bottom of the river. It had in it's mouth the identical spoon and red rag which lief ferson had lost. It was pike and weighed twenty-seven pounds.
