The Devotion of a Canine Mother.

Half dozen small boys, shepherd dog and her five puppies and box of matches caused $500 fire in Alleghany.
 The dog and her puppies were kept in vacant stall ill the rear of George W. Evans livery and feed stables on East street, near Elm street, and the boys were looking at the pups through a knot hole in the side of the building, and in order to get better view of, them held lighted matches to the knoth4e. One of the lighted matches fell through the knothole into the straw in the stall and set it on fire. The boys seeing the blaze ran away for fear and did not give the alarm. The fire was discovered by a policeman.
 When the fire broke out, the mother of the puppies made a heroic effort to save her offspring and succeeded in car rying them all to 8 place of safety except one. She had to leap over high barrier to get out of the stall, and the last one she carried out was all ablaze when she sprang from the flames with it in her mouth. Her grief at not being able to rescue the last was evident, and she had to be held to keep her from rushing back into the flames for it.-Pittsburg Dis pa66k

Like a Gigantic Barrel.

For many years Heidelberg universi- ty has had the honor of owning the lar gest barrel, or "tun," as they call 1t, in the world. They have had the honor, although it does not really belong to them, for Arizona has barrel that makes theirs fade into insignifcance. The one at Heidelberg will not hold liquid; neither will the one in Arizona. In this they are the same, but are differ ent in many other ways. Arizona's bar rel is the work of nature, and it is on a high peak of mountain, about five miles from Aguas Calientas, which is in the Catalina mountains, about 16 miles from railroad. The barrel is one of those peculiar rock forfnations and is about 200 feet high, and the top of it is at least 2,000 feet above the valley.
 1t can be seen for miles before the traveller gets to it, and its appearance Is most deceiving. It requires no effort of the imagination to see the large utensil of Bacchus perched on its peak with 8 glass under a faucet as if ready to be filled. A large Assure in certain spot forms bunghole. It does not look like barrel unless seen from the plain; on all other sides it is simply rugged rock. It is a soft granite formation of volcanic origin and is crumbling to pieces all the time. It is so soft that half dozen men with picks could knock it to pieces in few days.-San Fran cisco Call.

A MASSACHUSETTS LAWYER.
How a Famous Lawyer Passed His Tout
 In ,h.. All Hay State.

How a Famous Lawyer Passed His Youth
 In the Gld Bay state.
 Ex-Governor George D. Robinson, senior counsel for Lizzie Borden, is of an excellent type of true American man. hood and has fairly won his way to prominence as lawyer and statesman. hardworking New England farmer, whose farm, of moderate extent, was in Lexington, Mass, about two miles north from the center of the town. Charles Robinson was a stalwart, earnest man, and his wife was of avigorous physique. Both were of kindly disposition and both were much esteemed. They had two sons, Charles and George, both of whom became lawyers.
 The farmhouse was painted white, with green blinds, and was separated from the country road by white, paled fence, behind which was pretty flower garden. On Sundays Charles Robinson and his wife and sons were wont to ride together in their old fashioned covered wagon to the little Unitarian church which faced the village green.
 In 1855 or 1856 George D. Robinson was student at Harvard college, whence he frequently went to visit his parents, generally walking to and fro, the dis tance being about 10 miles each way. He was then beardless youth, tall and spare, but muscular. and wore a high black silk hat and a black frock suit. His step was long, rapid and elastic, and as he strode resolutely along the dusty highway his large, thoughtful, blue gray eyes had an intense, faraway expression, as if even then, nearly 40 years ago, he was striving to fathom the future, which proved to be so full for him of forensic and political triumphs.
 After he was graduated from Harvard he became village schoolmaster in what was then the little town of Chicopee, in western Massachusetts, and there con tinued the course of self denial and inde- fatigable industry which has since made him famous as lawyer, legislator and chief executive of his native state.-New York Tribune.

Life In Ajaccio.

Life in AJaccio IS something like that on board ship. The city square is the deck, the eating house corresponds to the saloon, the coffee house is the smoking room. Private houses serve merely as berths for sleeping and rest. A great deal of walking is done by the residents, but it consists in pacing slowly back ward and forth over limited extent of ground.
 A hundred yards of promenade, or even less, will suffice. The pedestrian, if he is engaged ill conversation, stops often, with the exclamations:
 "Holdl Listenr' or "That's just what sayw
 At an interesting point Tn his story he taps his companion on the breast and stands facing him for five minutes at a time, discoursing fluently.
 One day at dinner an English resident was commenting on this peculiarity to 8 number of Corsicans.
 "Yes," replied one, ''I think the Ajac- clans can beat the Parisians. The best lounger ever met was N N of K. Ionce walked with him down to the bar, and we did the distance in two hours"
 The bar and the square are one half mile apart. t.--''Studies in Corsica"
