North Carolina POPS.

Raleigh, n. c., Aug. 6.-Senator But
ler's paper today attacks electoral fusion
with democrats and also attacks Chair
man Jones 1t says:
"The democratic state executive COM
mittee has passed resolutions which bear
the appearance of willingness to be fair
and reasonable. The real purpose is to
try to make proposal on which no self
respecting populist could entertain for
moment and that when such PROPOSE
tion is Indignantly rejected to go before
the people and try to make it appear
that the populists are not honest, because
they rejected overtures looking to CO.
operation. There is not a democrat in
the universe smart enough to catch an
ordinary North Carolina populist in such
a trap as this, and they are hereby for
mally notified of that fact. Chairman
Jones is a strong representative of the
worst type of bourbon democracy and
would rather vote for Cleveland today
and be thick with Whitney, Hill and
Brice than support Bryan or any genuine
reform democrat. Jones is supposed to
be the mouthpiece of Bryan"

Chief Thad Mullin of the Blrming ham
fire department left yesterday for Salt
Lake City to be absent two weeks. His
visit to the home of Mormonism is TO at
tend the annual convention of the fire
chiefs, which meets In that city Monday.
These conventions are of vast impor-
lance and much is to be learned there. 1t
is,safe to say, however, that but few fire
chiefs in the United States or Canada can
learn our own Thaddeus much more than
he already knows. Capt. VIII Walton

the abolition of the fee system of pay
ment for officials and the substitution Of

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 6.-Tennessee
held an election today to select judges
for the court of chancery appeals and
county officials. Indications point to the
election of Barton Wilson and Neil, dem
ocrats, for judges. but the republicans
made desperate efforts to elect w. r.
Turner, their candidate in this district.
The money question is not considered in
the election, and in several of the east
Tennessee counties the democrats had no
candidates. The prohibitionsts are hope
full of carrying "a few counties. The pop
ulist vote is going with the old parties.

Dog Stories.

 About fortnight ago I was given fox terrier, on condition that if 1t did not suit me should return it to the donor. Last Sunday evening l was sit ting in the drawing-room with my wife, the dog lying on his mat by the fire. l said that I was dissatisfied with the dog, and should write and offer to re- turn him. My wife urged me to do so then and there, and, after discussing the matter for short time, l got up to pen the letter. As I did SO the servant came to take the dog for run prior to turning in for the night. No sooner was the garden door opened than off went the dog, full speed, into the dark ness, and has not oeen heard of since He had always been taken out in the same way before, and had always come in on being called. Whether he un- derstood the conversation, cannot tell All l can say is that I can offer no oth- CT explanation for his disapps My wife and the servant who let the dog out can vouch for the truth of these particulars.

Flogged the Wrong Man.

The law officials in England some times make mistakes, but we do not know that logging has ever been ad- ministered to the wrong man. But this is what has just happened in Hong Kong. One of the prisoners in the Eng fish Jail there had been sentented to receive eighteen lashes for misconduct, and In some way the wrong number was set down on the flogging sheet. On the day fixed a coolie. who was in jail for gambling was led out to the wooden horse, tied up, and given the dose be- fore he could get out d remonstrance. The warder subsequently, discovered the mistake and communicated it to the superintendent, who at once informed the governor His excellency immedi- ately signed an order for the mans re- lease, and the wander gave the sufferer ten dollars as compensation out of his own pocket Freedom and ten dollars however, were not over liberal compen- sation for eighteen cutting strokes on the back.-W estGninster Gazette.

 Apropos of your interesting article on Recent Ratlore," in "The Spectator of November 9th the incidents named from H. c. Barsley's graphic Studies on Rat Catching suggest my writing to narrate clever exploit of retriev- CT dog belonging to the housekeeper of wellknown newspaper office in the Strand Rats are constantly caught on the premises, and the dog, fully aware
 
 that his intelligence is quite worthy Of record Last Sunday he was heard barking loudly calling for assistance in the competitors room, where there was q rat hole in the floor. The dog had watched two fine rats come up through their hole, and immediately they were fairly away from their point of entry, he rushed up and sat on the hole. to cut off their means of retreat, barking forthwith for help Nothing would induce him to budge until a board was brought and placed over the hole, when he started in pursuit, and soon dispatched the intruders. His master assures me that the dog origl- mated this ingenious method of proce- dure, and that he has practised it with like success on several other occasions.
