DOG OF THE CIVIL WAR.
"z,p' Met Confederate Adversary While
Two batteries Cheercd.

II had dog that followed me all
through the war. and WAS of great
service 10 me- sail Cap. Fred Smith, q
member of the OH Veterans Club,
according to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat
HE was just common, 'ornery'
looking 'yaller' dog, but he had tho
heart of woman and tho courage Of u
lion. 1 enlisted at Mattoon, and the
dog followed mo there. / sent him
back home, but he wouldn't stay.
The Captain took liking to Zip,
and when we were ordered South he
went along Zip participated in several
of the big battles of the war, and in
any number of skirmishes. He would
take up his position near our battery of
field pieces and bark defiance at the
Confederates.
"At Shiloh she'll exploded within
ten feet of Zip. cutting off three inches
oil his bushy tail That angered him,
and he advanced on the enemy barking
furiously. The lines were about 500
yards apart, and shot and shell were
flying thick as hail Zip ran forward
fully 800 yards and gave the Johnnies
to distinctly understand that he allowed
no hampering with his tail.
The Confederate battery also had q
dog, big, lank mastiff, and he came
out to see about it. They didn't waste any
time sparring for m opening but took
hold in dead earnest. The John nies
stopped shooting and began to cheer
their dog. We did the same. For full
ten minutes those two batteries stood
silent while the gunners watched the
contest Of the canine knights, who
fought as though the fate of nations
depended on them.
"'Sick him, Tige Give it to the
Yankee son-of.a-gun + yelled the Con.
federate cannoneers, advancing in front
of their guns.
Go it, Zip Rip him into ribbons,
Zip ! we yelled, also advancing well in
front of our lines. A Confederate SER
geant threw rock at our dog and that
brought on trouble.
keep your hands off that dog =
yelled the Captain of our battery, as he
hurried back and trained gun on the
Confederate group.
That set both batteries to roaring
again, and beneath the flood of iron
those dogs fought on. am sorry to
say Zip got the worst of it. He was
outclassed. and, though he put up as
game fight as ever dog did, he was
sent to his corner loser. How the
Confeds did yell and hoot and howl !
But We had our revenge. We socked
a six-pound shell into their dog and
blew him into sausage meat"

Advice to Young Mon.


Here are few good rules given to
nervous young men who: ARE just start
ing out in that serious business of call
ing upon young ladies.
Ring the bell with your right hand,
which should always be ungloved in
case you are obliged to shake hands be.
fore being unable to take the glove of,
though there are those who think
gloves may be kept on and removed at
leisure. Hand one card to the servant
for each of the persons you are calling
upon and state distinctly the name.
Similarly some men never give but one
card. If you are calling at house
where young lady is visiting another
lady whom you do not know you should
invariably leave card for the hostess
also. This is a matter of courtesy to
her. In q case like this you should, if
in the evening, invariably wear evening
dress, no matter how we'll you know
the young lady-that is. if you move
in dress-suit circle and have one.
When she introduces you to her host
ess she will be much better pleased if
You are beyond criticism. Leave your
hat and overcoat in the hall, and after
you are ushered into the parlor or re-
ception room it is well to sit in chair
that faces door, so that when your
friend enters you can rise gracefully,
facing her. Upon leaving do not ex-
pect that she will follow you into the
hall. Invariably say goodnight before
leaving the room. And when you have
said goodnight do not stand upon the
order of going, but 60 at once. ~

THE MISSION ROAD.

a Thoroughfare that 10 in wretched
Condition.
Numerous and strong complaints are
made about the wretched condition OF
the ''Five-mile House road" to Alhsm-
bra and San Gabriel.
Inside of the city limits the thorough
fare is in very excellent condition, but
in the county precinct it is unspeak-
able. A gentleman who has resided
here for 20 years during which time he
has driven more or less constantly over
the road, says he never knew it to be in
such wretched condition. In one place,
for example, a hole has been excavated
right in the middle of the roadway,
and wagon breaking chuckholes exist in
great numbers.
No road in the county Is more used
for traffic than this and it should be at
once put in good shape. 1t is suppos
able that the supervisors are in ignor-
ance of its condition, if 30 they should
inspect and remedy it at once.

porter to Mr.. F. w. Ludovice yesterday,
'syou must have confidence in the prop
osition."
my confidence in the proposition
amounts to this" replied Mr.. Ludovice,
"this country is full of ready invest
ments for money-not mere specula-
tions, but Investments in interest-yield-
ing properties. But many OF these in
vestments are of character liable to
depreciation of the article yielded
through the evil of over-production.
just at the present moment the demand
for crude petroleum 30 far exceeds the
supply that could place 1000 gallons
per day on the San Francisco market
without depreciation of the STAPLE"
"What makes the demand go perma-
nent ?"
1.-The fact of it's value for fuel. 1t is
slowly and surely superceding coal at
every point where it can be obtained
One of the small steam schooners plying
between San Pedro and Humboldt is
fred with it. She cannot steam in ex-
cess OF nine knots, yet on 600mile
voyage she can best any 10-knot boat
that uses coal, because you do not have
to stop to clean fires if you use petrole-
um. A coal burning vessel will have to
clean fires every Elk hours, during
which operation the steam runs down 33
per cent at least. All this time your
oil consuming vessel goes right along at
a steady jog and never has to open her
furnace doors. Petroleum is bound to
supercede all other fuel wherever a suffi-
cient supply can be had; and, while the
output is gradually ON the increase, the
demand increases out OF proportion to
it, so that none of the small vessels dare
attempt to dispense with coal for some
time to come
