PuppIes ana rIower beds.

We once watched the united efforts Of
a litter Of setter puppies, the particular
object being the destruction of a fine
bed Of geraniums, an enterprise which
promised maximum Of result" with
a set off Of a mere trifie Of an effort, if
once a protecting fence of wire netting
could be surmounted. One after another
the puppies charged the fence, only to
fall back baffied, but not discouraged.
Failure only made them more deter
mined. With savage barks and growls
they returned again to the attack until,
after a desperate leap and scramble, the
biggest puppy rolled over among the
geraniums. For a moment he was al
most awed by his success. He squeaked
and sat down, but only for moment.
Then he hurled himself into the thickest
part of the bed and tore the geraniums
to pieces Cornish.

Mrs. stowe'd Fascinating Description OF a
Vessel Under salL
Mrs. Stove, in "The Pearl of Orr's
Island, gives this fascinating descrip-
tion If a ship under sail: "What is
there belonging 20 this workaday world
Of ours that has such fund Of never
failing poetry and grace as shipi A
ship is a beauty and mystery wher
ever we sec it. It's white wings touch
the regions Of the unknown and the
imaginative. They seem TO us full Of
the odors Of quaint, strange, foreign
shores, where life, we fondly dream,
moves III brighter currents than the
muddy, tranquil tides of every day.
Who that sees one bound outward, with
her white breasts swelling and heaving,
as if with a reaching expectancy, does
not feel his own heart swell with
longing impulse. TO 60 with her 70 the
faroff shores9 Even at dingy, crowded
wharfs, amid the stir and tumult of
great cities, the coming in of a ship is
an event that never can lose its inter-
est. But on these romantic shores Of
Maine, where all is so wild and still
and the blue sea lies embraced in the
arms Of dark, solitary forests, the sud
den incoming of a ship from a distant
voyage is a sort of romance. Who that
has stood by the blue waters Of Middle
bay, engirdled as it is by green slopes
of farming land, interchanged here and
there with heavy billows Of forest trees
or rocky, pine crowned promontories,
has not felt that sense of seclusion and
solitude which is 80 delightful? And
then what a wondor There comes a
ship from China, drifting in like a
white cloud, the gallant creaturel How
the waters hiss and foam before herl
With what great free, generous plash
she throws out her anchors, as If she
said cheerful Well donep TO some
glorious work accomplished The very
life and spirit Of strange romantic
lands come with her. Suggestions Of
sandalwood and spice breathe through
the pine woods. She is an oriental
queen, with hands full of mystical gifts
All her garments smell of myrrh and
cassia, out of the ivory palaces. where
by they have made her glad. No won
der men have loved ships like birds and
that there have been found brave, rough
hearts that in fatal wrecks chose rather
to 60 down with their ocean love than
to leave her in the last throes of hen
death agony"

DoNGoLA, Egypt sept ga Cavalry on
,he wost bank of the Nile and gunboats on
the river caused the Gervishes Co abandon
this district, and tho Egyptian flag was
hoisted over Dongola. Before the pursuit
of tho fueitiyes was stopped practically
all the dereish chiefs had surrendered and
opposition to the advance of the Anglo
Egyptian force IN this part Of the country
had entirely collapsed. Only five British
soldiers were wounded
Gradually tho detachments OF cavalry
which had been sent out In scouting par
ties found that the enemy had deserted
tho main camp and that the dervishes
were Ia fun flight, carrying with them
their women and children. During the
pursuit the cavalry killed numbers Of
deryishcs and many others threw down
their arms and surrendered.
Wad Bishara succeeded In escaping and,
according 70 tho latest Gdyices, has not
been captured. Among tho emirs who fell
into tho hands OF the Anglo-E Egyptian
troops woro Hassan Nejumi and Abdul
Diam They say that the rule of the
khalifa will be completely broken by the
repeated defeats OF the deryish forces who
thus far have failed almost entirely to in
fliot any loss upon the Anglo-E Egyptian
troops.
1t is not believed that any further ad-
vance will bs made for the present The
whole campaign has had TO be conducted
with the most rigorous economy, owing
to the opposition Of the French and Rus
sian commissioners of the public debt
Of Egypt to the'use Of Egyptian funds
for the purposes Of even the expedi-
tion to Dongola, and therefore they are
not likely TO sanction expenditure OF
Egyptian money for further advance
upon Khartoum Thus, II the campaign
is TO be pushed beyond Dongola, the GOV
ernment of Great Britain must furnish
the money and re-enforcoments required.
