DOGS LIKES AND DIsLIKEs
some Curious and Amusing Cases
Which illustrate Their
PecuIiarities.

Animals, like human beings, have
been known to exhibit strange antip-
| ethies toward certain persons and
! things, dogs, perhaps, more so than
any other of our four-footed friends.
That famous canine, Oriel Bill, of
Oxford, was for time such violent
hater of postmen that 1t was not safe
for any uniformed letter carrier to
approach the Mitre, where Oriel Bill
held undisputed sway. Accordingly
arrangements had to be made for all
missves to be left at an adjoining
house by the postmen in order to save
their feelings-physical as well as men
tal--and the dog from venting his Gu
rious aversion upon them.
The same precaution had to be taken
in the case of another but less famous
canine. Until postman was foolish
enough to throw stone at this animal
without the least provocation it was
on good terms with all the letter car
riers who called at the house. After
that, however, furious hatred of her
majesty's postal servants took posses
sion of this previously amiable cur,
and when il had severely bitten one
of the postmen they all refused with
one accord to deliver letters at the
house.
The owner of the dog complained to
the British post Office authorities, but
the latter supported their subordi-
in ha NJ nd hoI {ol
up, and in the end the complainant ar
ranged for his letters to be delivered
at place where there was no canine
that delighted to bark and bite.
At hotel in west of England town
there is dog which exhibits an in
tense dislike for soldiers. What are
the why and wherefore of this feeling
toward our gallant redcoats IL is i'm
possible to say. but the sight of one
has the same effect on this eccentric
canine as red rag has on bull. The
consequence is that the dog has to be
kept severely under restraint, so that
soldiers can come and go without run
ming the risk of losing a portion of
their anatomy in the process. What
makes this antipathy toward them all
tine more remarkable is the fact that
the animal shows decided partiality
for policemen.

expected bath is evidently responsible
Tor this extraordinary aversion.-Lon-

BALLET DANCERS LONGEVITY
Have Lived to He Septuagen-
nrinns and Octogenarians.

/ The longevity of the ballet dancers
evidently has more substantial foun-
dation than the jokes of the humorists
who have found so much-fo amuse them
| in the persistency with which the
premieres cling t, their profession. A
European statistician has been devoting
himself to a study of the eminent in
that art, and his Investigations seem to
establish the fact that they are an un-
usually long-lived lot. The famous
Carlotta Grisi is living now at the age of
II, and one OF the ballet dancers at the
Opera in Paris is 20. But he is man.
Amalia Ferraris is still teaching at the
age of rs in Paris, and seems likely to
continue that work for some time to
come. Fanny Essler was "A when she
died, and Taglioni had passed her
eightieth year. Rosita Mauri, the pop
ular premiere at the Opera, in Paris, is
over so and has begun to talk of retir-
ing.
Some of the more famous dancers of
earlier times, commencing with the
first of the profession, succeeded in
reaching the following ripe ages: Pc
court. 76; La Camargo, 60; Noverre, s3;
Vestris, the elder, 70; La Guimard, GO;
Gardel, 50; Vestris, the junior, 80;
Mazilier, II; Blasts. 20; Perrot, SO.
La Cerito, one of the greatest ia.
vorites of her day in Paris, and
much admired once in this coun-
try. is living in retirement in Paris
at the age of rs. The Oldest in this list
was Noverre, who stood among the
greatest in the art during the middle of
the eighteenth century.
Compared with these veterans. our
own Bonfanti, who is now teaching in
this city, seems in the first flush Of her
powers. The only ballet dancers who
come to this country in these days are
not likely to be long remembered.
There are very few of them, and those
we see are not eminent. Nor are they
much appreciated. The practical dis
appearance of the old-fashioned spec
tacular plays has resulted in the pass
ing of the premiere. After these pieces
ceased to have their interest for New
Workers they remained popular ION the
road" and there were always several
of these companies travelling about and |
one or two well-trained Eu-
ropean dancers. But they have also |
come to an end. and with them the tarle-
tan spirited piroquetters dropped final
~ out Of sight.--N. Y. Sun.

the treaty (call it an "agreement"
only, If you please, Of 1885, the
Cherokees ceded to the United
States their remaining lands in the
state of Georgia for consideration
partly of the lands which they now
occupy in this territory, together
with guarantee that they should
be allowed to continue forever in
the enjoyment of their ancient
right and power of self govern
ment. 1t is therefore apparent
that the theory of existence in the
Cherokee nation is very different
from that upon which we account
for the being of state in the
Union, while the latter is but a
precarious statutory creature, the
former has been from time i'm
memorial self-existent, and has of
late also fortified itself against all
possible egression by solemn
agreement with the United States.
To abolish state would require
only the exercise of bit of legiti-
mate legislative power, but the
abolition of the Cherokee nation
lies not within the rightful power
OF the legislature; it would partake
Of the nature of war measure and
could find no precedent in the
scope of civil jurisprudence; nay.
more, it would necessitate on part
OF the government, the practice of
bad faith as well as a disregard of
the cardinal principles OF the law
OF contracts.
The present tide of procee dings
in congress looking to the doing
up" of the Cherokee nation, seems
to go upon the theory that AS to
the Cherokses, there is difference
between their property rights"
and their right to exist as dis
tinct body polite; that while
congress is bound to respect the
former, the latter is entirely sub
ject to legislative discretion, and
it is noticeable too that some of
our best Indian thinkers are being
led away by this legal fallacy
The truth is, between the property
rights OF the Cherokees and their
right to exist as nation, there il
owing to the exceptional nature Of
the case, no difference at all. hey
for instance, bought of the govern
ment the land wnich they now
occupy and paid for it; their own
ership in the soil is therefore
deemed too sacred to be meddled
with by legislation; yet in the same
way, they bought, as far as the
United States were concerned, the
right OF self-government and to ex-
ist as body polite. Hence it is
obvious that the right of the Cher !
okees to self-government and to be
a nation, is to all intents and pur-
poses, a property right" and as
such it is entitled to all the scru-
pulous respect that is thought to
be due to the ownership of a horse
or an acre Of land.
The fact is, that in law, congress
has no right or power to abolish
the Cherokee government or to
suspend the operation of any of its
departments, than it has to annul
the patent under which these peo-
pie hold title to their lands. Their
rights in each case, are based upon
the same guarantee. M

defensive and seemed unable to withstanc Sharkey's rushes. The latter whipped in a beautiful left hook on the wind. and fol- lowed it up with a right on the jaw. The sailor kept doing all the work and was al- ways ready to mix it up on the slightest provoeation. He alternated with left and right on head and body, occasionally chang ing to left hooks on the wind, which were slowly but surely attending to Corbetts case. It is Sharkey's fight so far I"he pace was terrific.
 They CIinched Frequently
 Eighth Round-Sharkey was the first to lead, landing left chop on the cheek. They clinched frequently and the referee was kept busy separating them Tom tried a left chop blow which fell short and Jim jabbed his left hard on the nose. Sharkey sent a right straight to face, which made Jims head rock. but Jim was ready with a left hook which grazed Sharkey's ear. Both men fought fast, clinching repeatedly. Jim hooked his right hard on Toms jaw, half dazing him. He quickly cuperated and went back at his man hammer and tongs.
 Ninth Round-Corbett landed with his left. Tom went right back at the same moment. The clutches were frequent and the men refused to break together. Cor bett struck Tom rather low on the body and the sailor appealed to the referee. Corbett showed Tom from him and said, "Oh, you go away" The men were in the center or the ring mixing IL up Tn the uVe- Hest manner, ORoprxe calling to Tom not rto mind Corbett's low hitting. Just at this moment for some unaccountable reason, McVey. one of Corbett's seconds, jumped through she ropes. protesting that Sharkey had done something wrong to Corbett The moment Mcyey climbed through the ropes Police Inspector Mclaughlin grabbed hold of him, while the crowd yelled frantlcally foul, foul Corbett loses; look at his sec ond in the ring"
 Sharlzey Declared the Winner
 Referee Kelly seemed to pay no attention to the matter, but kept looking at the fighters, who continued their aggressive work McVey tried to pull away from h. spector Mclaughlin, while the spectators kept yelling at the referee, who finally separated the fighters and ordered them to their corners Corbett seemed not to un- derstand why the referee should interfere, and protested, but Kelly stopped the bout Meanwhile the spectators stood up and yell ed that bets should be declared off, as they believed McVey committed the breach of ring rules premeditatedly. It looked for a while as if a riot would ensue, but as soon as the referee declared Sharkey the winner on the technicality he announced that all bets were off, as McVey's action was undoubtedly prearranged. As soon as this announcement was made the specta- tors resumed their seats and awaited the departure of the men from the ring

NEW COALING STATION.
United States and England Negotiating
 for Cession of One to America

London, November 23.-The Vienna corre- spondent of the Daily Chronicle says it is semi-officialy announced there that nego- tiations are on foot between Great Britain and the United States with a view to ced- ing to the latter coaling station in the straits of Babel Mandeb, the straits uniting the Red sea with the Indian ocean. With this object in view the island of Socotorta in the Indian ocean, hundred and twenty miles east of Cape Guardafui, the eastern extremity of Africa, is to be leased to the United States, the latter undertaking to erect lighthouse east and west of the island, which must not be fortified. It is further stipulated, the correspondent says, that only warships are to be allowed to coal there so as not to injure the English coal trade at Alden and on Perem island.
