DEATH OF A DOG IN THE SNOW.
hls Frozen Corpse Discovered and Ex-
humed by His st. Bernard Friend.

his Frozen Corpse Discovered and Ex-
humed by His st. Bernard Friend.
Romeo is a noble st. Bernard dog
and Brutus an English pug. They
were owned by a Harlem gentleman
and were inseparable friends. Their
likes and dislikes were Identical
They slept in the same kennel, ate
from the same dish and roamed
about the yard together
Seldom did they appear on the
street and then only with their owner.
But on the morning after the recent
heavy snOwstorm little Brutus did
not respond to the breakfast. call.
Search for him proved fruitless and
Romeo was invited to eat alone, but
he refused to touch his food.
With an air Of evident distress he
wandered about the house, at times
whining piteously, looking for his
companion. His search, too, was in
vain, and finally he laid himself down
on rug before the dining-room fire
with his head between his paws, But
he did not close his eyes.
For perhaps an hour he remained
there motionless. Then he arose,
walked around the room once or twice
and then left the apartment. Soon
afterward he was heard bowling in
the back yard and scratching at the
door for admission.
Members Of the family fastened to
the spot and found Romeo there
standing over the dead body of his
friend Brutus, investigation soon
solved the mystery.
Brutus, it appears, had in some un-
known manner wandered out doors
into the driving, binding blast of
snow Unable to return inside the
house after barking, bowling and
scratching for some time he laid
down in the snow. He had not been
strong for several months, and he
soon yielded to the icy breath of win
ter and was frozen to death.
Romeo had, in exploring the yard,
found the little fellows corpse in a
tiny snowbank, and, true to his in
stincts, drew it out and tried to carry
it to place Of safety.
His efforts to restore life to his lost
friends body were touching, and he
seemed to more acutely mourn his
loss than any other member of the
household. For two days he would
not taste a morsel Of food, but after
thirty-six hours of fasting he allowed
himself to be persuaded to eat.
Little Brutus' frozen form was
placed in a shallow grave dug out of
the almost solid ground at the foot of
the garden, and Romeo was present
at the burial. Every movement was

THE FIRST WHISTLE.
When tho Observation-Disclosures Was Flrs
Heard on the Mississippi

When tho acknowledgements Was First
Heard on the Mississippi.
ii see they have finally settled the
discussion as to who was the flrst
man to use a steamboat whistle on
the river" said Captain Jere East
man, Of Cairo, at the Laclede last
night. at was mighty interesting
discussion, too, and the thing was In
doubt for some time, but it is all set
tied now, and Captain j. Slut Neal
was the man, AS Captain Neal ex-
plains 1t himself the story is some
thing to this effect: He was the en-
gineer and part owner of the Revinue
spell that with an H., mind you),
and she was the first vessel to use a
whistle. They got 1t from Anderson
Fulton, in Pittsburg, where the boat
was built. That was in 1S43.
"You see, they were making a trip
with Government supplies to Fort
Touson, on the Red River, in 1874.
They had had the whistle then, for,
while they were making the trip,
Polk was inaugurated President and
old Cap'n Neal-he wasn't old then
was the only Democrat on the boat,
and l tell you he made the Injuns
jump when he set that old whistle to
footing. In those days the whistle
was placed atop Of the boilers and
the engineer could amuse himself to
his hearts content If he wanted to.
Old Cap'n Neal was a steamboatman
born. He was the first man on the
river to use the life-preserver, and
sent Cap'n w H. Fulton all the way
to Philadelphia to get a supply of
them for the Revinue. On the trip
that l tell you about the Revinue
lowed a keel boat all the way from
Pittsburg via New Orleans to Fort
Touson, on the Red River. That
was before the annexation of Texas,
and at that time Fort Tous0n was
the boundary line between the United
States and Texas, and l tell you that
was feat for steamboating in those
days. ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

Puritan Collections.

In the records of one of tho
churches Of New Haven we read that
in 1850 the "deacons informed the
court that the wampum which is put
into the church treasury is generally
so bad that the elders to whom they
pay it cannot pay it away" Money
of all kinds was scarce among the
New Haven colonists, and the Indian
money; wampum, which then circu-
lated as currency, was easily disflg-
ured and broken, being made Of
frail sea-shell
The cOlonists, some of them, at
least, had good deal Of human ma
ture, and managed to dispose Of their
worthless currency and at the same
time gain reputation for generosity.
In modern days their descendants Of
the baser sort drop clipped and
punched coins into the "plate."
The court to whom the New Haven
deacons complained, ordered that "no
money save silver or bills" should be
accepted. Then the deacons found it
difficult to get any contributions.
The colonists wished to keep their
good wampum for trading, as the
storekeepers would receive no other.
When they found that they must de-
posit "wampum without break or de-
forming Spots" or SILVER or bills" in
tht contribution box, they refused to
give anything,
But a hundred years later there
came wave of public enthusiasm
the War Of the Revolution. Then
the people gave of their best, with a
willing mind Contributions were
taken in the meeting-houses, after
divine service, for the Continental
army. Money, fnger-rings, earrings,
watches, stockings, hats, coats,
breeches, shoes, produce and grocer
les were brought to the meeting
house to give to the patriotic sol
diers.
"Even the leaden weights were
taken out Of the window-frames,
made into bullets, and brought to
meeting" writes the author Of "The
Sabbath in Puritan New England"
On one occasion a collection was
being made for the army in the Leba-
non, Conn, Westinghouse, Madam
Faith Trumbull was present, and had
on a magnificent scarlet cloak, which
had been presented her by Count
Rochambeau, the COMMANDMENTS
chief of our French allies. She
walked from her pew to the deacon's
seat, and taking off her cloak gave it
as her Offering to the army. 1t was
cut in narrow strips and used as red
trimmings for the uniforms of the
soldiers.
Her example so reused the congre-
CATION that an enormous collection
of goods and provisions was sent to
the suffering men who were fighting
