What cros5-eyed bull pup can do has been shown in Jersey City. Der nard McDonough, his owner, keeps a saloon. His dog saw rat and sprang for 1t, but owiny to his strabisnal in- firmity he sprang in the wrong dircc- tion and dashed against an oil stove, upsetting it. The saloon caught fire, and but for the fact that the firemen rolled out several barrels of whiskey, one barrel of kerosene and kegs of other drinks, the loss would have been heavy. As it was, the bull pup has cost MT. McDonough $1,5OO.
 One of our English landlords has de- cided to dispose of his extensive hold ings to American homesteaders. This is Lord Brassey, who Bought the entire land grant of the Houghton and On tonagan railway in northern Michigan some time ago, and whose company has found the tract unproduct1ve of minerals or lumber in paying quantity. He now proposes to sell the land in small lots to farmers, advancing money for the building of barns, houses, etc., and allowing the purchase price and all to run as debt against the purchaser at BE per cent. interest until he is able

Colonel Forsyth succeeds General nIcCook.
The race for the place vacated by Ma
jor General Howard's retirement was be-
tween General McCook and General Ru-

peculiarly fortunate in receiving the ap-
pointment over General Ruger, who
stands at the head Of the list of brigadier
generals, because he would otherwise re-
tire in a few months with the rank OF
brigadier As 1t Is Major Ruger's promo
ton will probably only be delayed for
that length Of time.
Colonel James w. Forsyth, who be-
comes a brigadier general, is one Of the
most distinguished cavalry officers in the

ord Of service in Indian campaigns. AT
