Clearly n Stand.OH.

Some years ago two officers in the
British army in India had a difficulty
which resulted In a duel. The colonel,
the challenged party, was an old cam
paigner who had won his laurels In the
Crimea, and was a gallant soldier. The
choice Of weapons being his, he named
pistols, and elected that the affair
should occur in a dark room. We Sc

these were exhausted We rushed in t.

man stood erect and soldier-like in hii
corner, untouched: but directly behind
the officer who had given the challenge
were three bullet-holes made by the
colonel's pistol "How Is this?" said
the grizzled major; "had you been

Benvenuto Cellini's Dog.

Facts like the following, taken
rom tho memoirs OF BenvenutO Gel
lini, attest the marvellous instinct Of
the canine race, and are not very
fare:-
A robber one night made his way
nto Cellini's studio, and the artists
log at first tried to attack the thief,
who was armed with sword; then,
running to the room occupied by the
workmen. ne wakened them, pulling
the covers from their beds and shak-
ing them by the arms. Not under
standing the cause of these impOrtun-
tiles, the workmen drove the animal
from the room and locked the door.
The dog then started in pursuit Of
the robber, who had gained the
street, and seized him by the mantle;
but the thief had the presence OF
mind TO call mad dogI" which
brought a number Of people to hi:
assistance, aud for the time he es
:aped punishment
A long time after, as Cellini wa.
Galking one day in q public square
at Rome, his dog suddenly sprang
upon j young man and fercely clung
to him, notwithstanding the swords
and clubs of the bystanders. He was
finally made to release the young
man, who retired so hastily that he
let several small objects fall from un-
der his cloak. and among them Gel.
tini recognized ring belonging to
himself.
'Uh," cssed he, sit is the miscrean,
who entered my studio at hight, and
my dog has recognized him" and as
he spoke he set the anima: free,
when the rObber fastened to ask par.
don and confess his crime.

Cubans Fight with Dynamite.

The Cubans have adopted dynamite
as a means of comba ting the Spaniards
in the protracted revolution, the echoes
Of which are now beginning to be
heard throughout Europe. In the last
battle between the combatants, fought
in the mountains near Ramon de las
Yagnas. the Cubans had filed holes in
the earth with dynamite, and these
mines they exploded while Spanish
regiments were passing by. At the first
explosion a Spanish lieutenant and
thirteen soldiers were blown into pieces,
and this so terrified the Spaniards that
an entire company Is said to have de-
serted to the insurgents. Several 9TH
er explosions followed. which, though
less fatal than the first, spread dismay
among the Spaniards and greatly de-
moralized them.
