The story OF dog Of France Is told
In the Outook--e dog who became one
OF the most loved Of all the followers
of Napoleon- He was a shaggy dog,
whom the soldiers called Mustache.
and who. casting his lot with that Of
the army. had followed IL into Italy.
Scarcely had the army reached Alex-
andria when Mustache warned his COM
radcs Of night attack. his timely
waking saving. perhaps. the army. In
return the dogs name was inscribed
on the roll-book OF his company. From
that day he was entitled to draw ra-
lions a grenadier's portion daily.
Moreover, the regiments barber was
ordered % comb Must4she at least once
a week. 1t was not a sinecure for tho
barber, for not a member of the reei-
ment was greater fighter than the
dog. Once he was wounded in the
shoulder BY q bayonet thrust, and once.
IN the battle of Marengo, he lost an
ear. But every wound was dressed
by the company's surgeon. and every

the dog reappeared at Austs riitz-
He wa. Al the midst Of the fight. The
company was hard pressed. and the
standard bearer was left alone-with
Mustache-ataongt the dead and dying.
The Austrians we're charging and at a
shot the standard bearer fell. The dog
and the flag were left behind together.
SEEKING the tattered shred of tricolor
in his teeth, Mustache started across
tho field. Leaping from the very feet

gained the prize, on through shot, and

he reached tho French lines, and
dropped at his comrades feet the
blood-stained rag. He lifted broken

own hands. they say. fastened a medal
around the hero's neck. And then,

II appears that In some sort Of civic
demonstration in st. Louis the other day
perhaps the celebration OF the founding
OF Chicago, or something Of that sort-two
immense floats, representing respectively
the Monitor and the Merrimac, were in
the procession. II was an evening parade
and in some way while passing down
Grad Avenue the unfortunate Monitor
caught fire. A thoughtful citizen turned
In an alarm, and the fire department
responded with promptness. II happened
that the captain OF the Monitor was
new men in the navy, having before
been in the merchant service as comman-
der OF truck. and hearing the noise OF
the engines behind him, he was impressed
with the notion that the whole Confede-
rate Navy was coming down upon him.
He concluded that the time for flight had
come. so hitting the mules a crack with
his whip he went tearing away at the
RATE of some twenty knots an hour, with
his craft blazing fiercely. The astonish-
ed fremen at first paused, but soon saw
where duty lay, cracked their whips,
ana tore away after the hre Interested
citizens followed OIL foot, and small boys
brought up the rear.
How long this thing kept up We are
not told. but we are assured that Hamp-
ION Roads on the last days fighting
was quiet place compared with Grand
Avenue. II was evidently the object
OF the crafty Monitor commander either
10 get out 10 sea or TO run In under the
ems Of some friendly fort. But the ST.
Louis fire department, though accustomed
to lying in wait and springing upon its
victims with a single bound, showed that
II could course a fire when necessary.
IL was used to old-fashioned fires but
IL a fire was skittish and got up ana ran,
the department was wiling 10 90 What II
could TO catch IL and hold II still while II
put IL out. So while the Monitor stood
out 10 sea. carrying every possible pound
OF mule. the engines and hose carts toi-
lowed close In her wake. Finally, the
ill-siarred craft being burnt TO the waters
edge, the fire went out, and the hulk
drifted down side street with the noble
commander clinging TO floating mule.
The nre department returned TO head
quarters. Harper's Weekly.

Resolutions OF Respect.

Richmond, Va, oct. To, 1873.
At a regular meeting OF the Board OF
Directors Of the Richmond Society FOR
the Prevention of Cruelty 10 Animals,
the following was unanimously adopted:
The hand Of death has been again busy
I'm our midst, and an All-Wise Providence
has taken from us one Of our most ac-
tive and efficient associates.
Though but a short time "A resident OF
Richmond. CHARLES W. LYLE, Esq,
of the Richmond Bar. had been an active,
earnest and efficient officer Of our so
ciety, combining the dual duties OF secre-
tary and assistant counsel, which he
performed faithfully and intelllgenuy.
His cheerful. affectionate and humane
disposition endeared him TO all with
whom ne came I'm contact, and his voice
was ever uplifted in behalf Of the weak
and the poor, but more especially were his
sympathies enlisted I'm behalf Of the dumb
and helpless creatures. 10 care Tor and
protect which IS this sOcietys chief aim.
Endowed with quick intellect, intense
VigOr and an intrepid courage, he gave
promise Of a career Of usefulness and
prominence in his chosen profession OF
the law.
His death deprives us Of an associate
whose place it will be hard TO fill, and
Of a friend whom we cherished and APP
preciated; therefore, be Il
Resolved. That these resolutions be
spread upon the records Of the society.
and a copy be sent to the hereaved family
of the late CHARLES w. LYLE. with
the tender of our sincere sympathy IN
their aniction: and be- IL further

In this way All the gold which eould

"The three largest producers OF gold
on the Atlantic belt were Virginia mines
with records OF $4,000 TO over $4,000
each. and this under the crude methods.
Some OF the best mines in Virginia are
I'm Fluvanna and Goochland counties.
among them the Hughes mine, five miles
from the James river. In FluvaEna coun-
~. and likely 10 be a very large producer
in the future as II has eleven tested

nearly si6 per ton OF 1900 pounds. This
property has abundance Of the best tim
bcr for mining use and for fuel Labor
I'm this county can be had at seventy
five cents 10 sl.00 per day, and the cost
of all material and living are as cheap
as that at any place on the whole belt.
Another Of the most promising Of
the gold mining properties in this section
is the Tagus. consisting OF five separate
gold tracts Of $50 acres situated In Gooch-
land county, near the Fluvanna county
line. According 10 the thirty samples OF
gold ores Of this property sent to the
New Orleans Exposition, by Mr.. Charles
Willard. the assays run, taken from the
surface down 10 eighty feet $500, 5000,
$500. 5000. 5000, Sl4OO 5000 S2i.OO, $500,
5000. $500. $4,000 $4,000 gold. and 5000
silver to the ton of 1000 pounds. This
property begins four miles from the James
river. and runs along the line OF the
county northeast. Near this is fine
gold property now being developed and
upon which I'm the rext year twenty
stamp mill with all the latest gold-saving
appliances will be put in. The ores run
from 5000 TO $4,000 per ton
Near the Tagus on the northeast, upon
a tract Of forty acres. a small pony stamp
mill dhe 800 pound stamps was put some
two years ago at very small outlay.
This mill assays about two tons Of ore
day; has cleared on an average for the
last year and q half, about $500 per week.
The property has been recently sold for
100000 TO New York parties. Western
mining men have begun TO investigate
this belt and many have bought mines
and begun work. notably the Brewer mine,
owned and worked by Senator Hearst OF
California now nv his heirs.
ut is safe TO say that in the past as
much cor more) gold has been lost as
saved for the want Of proper machinery
and applianCeg."
