INGALLS, SPOTTED DOG.
His Owner Turned the Laugh on Gen.
Grant.

Gen. Ingalls, had just returned from
trip to Washington, and brought with
him an English spotted coach dog,
which followed him everywhere
through camp, and attracted no end of
attention. A dog of any kind was
rather an unusual sight in an army in
the field, and an animal of the peculiar
marks and aristocratic bearing OF
Ingalls, companion excited widespread
remark. Every time the dog came to
headquarters Gen. Grant was certain to
comment upon the animal, and perpe-
trate some good-natured joke at the eX-
pense of his classmate. The dog fol-
lowed the usual canine custom, and eX-
pressed his feelings by an agitation of
his caudal appendage. To describe his
actions astronomically, it may be said
that he indicated anger by imparting
to his tail series of longitudinal vi
brations, and pleasure by giving it a
gentle motion in azimuth"-familiar-
ly known as a wag.
One evening as the general was sit
ting in front of his quarters ingalls,
came up 10 have a chat with him, and
was followed by the dog, which sat
down in the usual place at its masters
feet. The animal squatted upon its
hind quarters, licked It's chops, priclSed
up its ears, and looked first at one
officer and then at the other, as if to
say: II am Gen. Ingalls, dog; whose
pup are you?" In the course of his re-
marks Gen. Grant took a look at the
animal, and said: well, ingalls,, what
are your real intentions in regard to
that dog? Do yoa expect to take it in
to Richmond with you?" ingalls,, who
was noted for his dry humor, replied
with mock seriousness and an air of ex'
treme patience: Il hope to; it is said
to come from long-lived breed" This
retort, coupled with the comical atti
tude of the dog at the time, turned the
laugh upon the general, who JOINED
heartily in the merriment, and seemed
to enjoy the joke as much as any of thu
| party.-Gen. Horace Porter, in Century

METHODS OF VENTILATION.

through the other chimney, and the air
rushing down one and up the other car
ries the smoke from the match along
with it. The reason the air does this
is because the heat of the candle flame
expands the air in the one chimney and
forces it upward. Tho atmosphere, in
order to even matters, supplies more by
way OF the only channel left open to it.
Now, coal mine is freed from it's
foul air and new fresh air is drawn into
it in exactly the same way. The en-
trance to some mines are comparative
ly small, when the large excavations
beneath the surface are taken into con-
sideration. The air in the mine easily
becomes foul, and soon becomes unfit
for human beings to breathe if some
ventilation is not secured. 1t is only
necessary to have two shafts and to
build a fire at the entrance of one OF
them in order to secure the desired re-
suit. If the fire is made to get its draft
down one shaft and up the other, as in
the case of the lamp chimneys, all of the
foul air will be drawn out of the mine
and corresponding quantity of fresh
air will be drawn in. The dangers of
explosions of fire damp will also be
averted inasmuch as this deadly gas is
drawn out and dissipated before it can
collect in sufficient quantity to do dam
age Of course there are mechanical
contrivances for drawing bad air out
of mines, but they are not more efficient
than a simple furnace at the entrance
of shaft. A striking example of the
value of fire for the purpose of getting
rid of foul odors is afforded in a Jail in
New Castle, Del. 1t seems that the
| Jail was built over sewer which
emptied into the river near by. The
odor from the sewer filled the Jail and
made it very unhealthy place to live
in. The nuisance was abated by build.
ing furnace and smokestack in one
corner of the Jail yard. A hole led down
from the furnace to the sewer pipe
When the fire was lighted the bad all
in the pipe was drawn up by the fire
and sent out of the stack many feet
above the Jail.
Something of this same nature take:
place when a storm occurs on hot day
The air in certain spot becomes heat
ed, and in expanding is forced upward
drawing with it certain amount OF
moist air from the neighborhood sur
rounding the heated spot. The mois
ture in this air rapidly condenses wher
it reaches the cooler strata above, and
turning to water, descends to the eartl
again in the form of shower.-Theo
dore Waters, in Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Peacock at Home.

The real home of the peacock or pea
fowl is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and the flesh is used for
food AS these birds live in the same
region as the tiger, peacock-hunting is
a very dangerous sport. The long train
of the peacock is not it's tail, as many
suppose, but is composed of feathers
which grow out just above the tail,
and are called the tail-coverts. Pea
cocks have been known for many hun
dred years. They are mentioned in the
Bible. Job mentions them, and they are
mentioned too in l Kings, 10. Hundreds
of years ago in Rome many thousand
peacoclSs were killed for the great feasts
which the emperors made, The brains
of the peacock were considered great
treat, and many had to be killed for a
single feast.-St. Nicholas.

A STEED OF THE SEA.

bare, stands in the PROV of the boat
as it is pushed from the shore. He
watches intently, and presently he
sees one of the big turtles taking n
nap on the clear white sand of the bot
tom. He dives quickly, and, swimming
down from behind, seizes the turtle
firmly by it's shell. OF course the turtle
wakes up and, like bucking broncho,
begins to dash and plunge wildly about,
seeking to throw its plucly rider. Not
succeeding in this, it darts quickly to
the surface, where the boy gets his
first breath. Then down again it goes
tearing through the water and beat
ing the foam with its fiippers. But it's
rider never lets go for moment, and
presently the great turtle grows ex-
hausted, and the boy, by lifting on the
front end of the shell forces it to the
boat, where it is quickly loaded aboard
and taken away to market. 1t is great
sport and the boys enjoy it as much
as our western boys like lively young
pony to ride.-Chicago Record.

two or three days assault on fort in
front of Dalton. In spite of advice,
Holmes took position, one of the days,
at the edge of some woods in front of
the fort, exposing himself openly to
the enemy's sharpshooters. He often
had told me that he could not be hit by
rifle ball. Not only did he stand in
full view, but he. would motion the

Two Men Killed and Two Others
Probably Fatally Hurt in Indiana.

Tho-ntown, Ind, July 31.-Unknown
train wreckers are responsible for the

Greensburg, and Fireman e. Crick-
mere, of indianapolis, the probable fatal
injury of Henry PINE and Charles
Cavenir, of Cleveland, and the wrecking
of the big -Four" Chicago express, due
in Cincinnati at seven o'clock Friday
morning. The wreck occurred here at
2:30 o'clock and as yet the responsi-
bility has not been traced. That it is
a case of deliberate train wrecking
there is no doubt. A coupling pin had
been driven into the switch so as to hold
it open and throw the train off the
track. The only mystery is in the mo-
tive. AS the big Four" haus several
hundred tons of West Virginia coal

at first thought to be the work of re-
vengeful strikers, but this theory finds
little credence.

TURNING AND GRINDING.

We have our little fallings-out and argu-
ments and such,
And then we make 1t UP again; they don't
amount to much.
But on one subject anyhow, we're all of
the same mind;
We all of us don't want 20 turn, and all do
want to grind.
rye heard about grindstone of labor
saving kind
1t only takes one person to turn 1t and to
grind.
You work a treadle with your foot the
same as mother sews,
And a fellow don't mind turning when he's
grinding, suppose.
But ours is not that kind of one; 1t amt
that we're asleep,
But moneys scarce and hard to get, and
>, elbow-grease Is cheap
Where there's half a dozen elbows that are
half the time in sight,
Though mother puts on patches. reckon,
every night.
"Boys," father said, the other day, zone
thing you've got to learn,
We can't all do the grinding, for somebody
must turn.
OF course I'd like you all to be as smart as
folks are made,
But it isn't very likely that you win be.
I'm afraid
"And there's very few so stupid that they
really couldn't earn
Themselves an honest living if they'd just
agree to turn
BY all means try for grinding, but own it II
you find
That you can do the turning, but amt
smart enough to grind"
When father talks he says it. He likes tc
think things out.
see him smiling, sometimes, at the things
he thinks about.
When he comes in from the plow-feld, he
don't tell you how he aches,
He tells you something queer he's seen, Of
birds, or beasts, or snakes.
IT'S only in the winters we have time to &c
to school,
But we dig at 1t, 1 tell you, and hope Tn
not a fool
And the thing we talk the most about, the
thing we hope to 6ro,
In race that's free to every one, is wha
I'm coming to.
Wen keep our eyes wide open; II we're only
fit to turn,
Wen look for the best way there Is, ant
that's the one We'll learn.
But think how mother and father'd feel, 1
they should one day find
That every single son they had was smar
enough to grind

Monday afternoon, brought word that
the mounted police of the Northwest

for the Yukon country at the British
line, beyond White and juneau passes,
and compelling all who have not
years supply of provisions to return
to the coast. But few of the fortune
seekers who have left Tacoma and the
Sound within the last few weeks for
Dyea or Skaguay had crossed the passes
into the interior when the Queen left
Dyea, July 2s. The first pack train
over White Pass was expected back at
SlSaguay the day the Queen sailed from
there. Rev. Alfred Hummer, of Oak
land, Cal, went ashore at Skaguay and
reports that he was told by two men
there it would cost $500 to have their
supplies, weighing 1000 pounds, car
ried over the pass. Mr. Hummer and
Capt. Carroll, of the steamer, warn
everyone not to attempt to enter the
Yukon country before next spring. The
captain says not even those who are
now at Skaguay or Dyea will be able
to reach the interior this winter, prin-
cipally because supplies cannot be got
