Duplicity of Dachsunds.
From the London News.)


I know a lady who was the happy pos
SCISSOR of two Dachshunds. There was one
delightful cushioned chair by her fireside
reserved to their use. In it was room for
both; but it was understood between them
that they must occupy it one at time
only. The first in possession was gener-
ally allowed to remain as long as he, or
she, liked. Sometimes, however, the
younger dog grew tired of the comparative
discomfort of the hearth rug. He would
then make believe" that there was an
enemy outside the window. Springing to
his feet, he would rush, with a growl,
across the room, and would then go off
into shouts of defiant barking. The old
Dachs, startled, would jump out of the
chair to see what it was all about; where
upon her ungallant junior would wheel
around and gain the cozy nook with run.
Etiquette forbade the elder, though de-

Austrian Politics.

(From the st. Louis Globe -Democrat)
The resignation of Austrias ministry shows
that the political troubles in that country which
caused alarm throughout the Empire in the past
year or two are not ended yet. The serious
feature of these troubles is that the Emperor
Francis Joseph. who has been on the throne for
half century, and who is very popular in all
parts of his polyglot domain, is in his SEVENTEEN
year, and is said to be in feeble health. The
parliamentary deadlocks and falls Of ministries
are not likely to result very harmfully while he
remains, but his successor will not have the
same prestige and influence. This consideration
gives world interest to Austrian politics at
the present time.
