An Intelligent Dog.

More than one story has been told OF the
refusal on the part OF q dog who had been
entrusted with carrying a paper 20 bis

10 him. such relations have generally
been received with n degree OF incredibly
However, an English paper published 10
Egypt, the Egyptian Gazette, tells a story
OF the kind with o circnmstantiaity which
appears TO entitle 10 20 credence.
The paper says chat one Of It's patrons in
Cairo regularly sent his dog, a large and
very intelligent Russian hound, TO get The
Gazette on it's arrival from Alexandra.
The animal always carried coin IN his
mouth with which 10 pay Tor the paper
One day the dog came back without the
paper and with the coin stillin his mouth.
This was good proof that the papers had
not been obtained and lost. The gentle
man went 20 the newsdeaier's TO see what

He found that the copies Of the Egyp
tan Gazette had all been sold very soon
after their arrival and that when the dog
came none was left. The dealer gave Che
dog a copy OF the Bosphore Egypten, "a
French paper, instead, but he absolutely
refused TO receive 10. Therefore the dealer
gave him back the coin and sent him nome
It is not TO be supposed that tho dog
could distinguish by sight between French
paper and an English paper, or indeed be
tween any Two newspapers Of similar gen
sral appearance. but he had a method OF bis
own OF distinguishing them-by means OF
the sense Of smell

NEW YORK. Sept. Perfect weather
characterized Labor Day in New York.
All the big manufactures shut down, all
wholesale establishments. business ex-
changes. downtown Offices and most OF
the reail shops closed. Up town the hoi-
iday was not so generally observed. Most
OF the places Of business there are retail
shors and they were open this morning
State courts and the courts General SEES
sions were opened for few minutes
only. business being put of until to-
morrow. The labor parade moved from
Cooper Union at Eighth street TO the
Battery. The labor leaders calculate that
IS 900 men were i'm line. No disturbance
OF any kind has been reported.
In Brooklyn the parade was one OF the
largest ever held. The most impressive
feature OF the demonstration was per-
hans. its peaceful character.
Several anarchists were marching IN
the ranks. but they had to act Ike the
sober-minded workingmen around them
and they were not even allowed 10 carry
their flags in the main parade. By spe-
cial orders the leaders prevented any nag
from being carried except the stars ana
stripes and trade banners.
