FOB POLITICIANS.

The following conversation was
overheard on a railway train:
why, the time was" saba pas
senger with a gorgeous watch-chain,
"when we had our county so well in
hand that we could elect a brindle
pup to any office we chose to nomi-
nate him for"
And you can't do it now?" quer-
led the other passenger, a man with
a cOnSumptive cough.
Il should say not. The other fel-
lows have beat US three to one in the
last two electiOns."
ITO what do you attribute the
changer"
"Well, I am inclined to think the
reason is that when we had the
power we elected too many brindle
pups. "-Ex.

Miscellaneous.
A WONDERFUL CAROLINA GENIUS.

The Charlotte Observer in describ-
ing the recent hurricane which over
took and largely wrecked the city of
Galveston had resort to the very
opposite poem of the late Joseph w.
Holden on Hatteras. The following
day the paper published the poem in
tulI, as it has done at intervals in
the years since it first appeared, sup
plementing it with the opinions of
Governor FOwle, Walter Page, Gen.
CI1ngman and the poet L~ongfellOw.
expressed in one way or another re-
lative to the genius of the author.
Mr.. Holden died young like Byron,
Burns, Keats and Poe, none of whom.
unless 1T be the lastnamed, surpassed
him in native inspiration. Between
his accomplishment and his power to
accomplish lay a vast gulf. Hat
teras poem, the speech at the Var
borough House Press banquet as
mayor of Raleigh, which is a verita-
bic idyl in prose, an unpublished
hymn adapted from the book of Job
and some fugitive efforts in prose
and rhyme notably a description of
the Chicago fire in a half written
novel which good judges have said
equaled Dickens description of the
Lord George Gordon Riots in Bar
naby Rudge-these are but thistle
down fOated on chance winds from
the great uncultivated garden we
never saw. Governor Swain who
watched Holden preside in the House
of Representatives in August 1868,
pronounced him next to John Stanly
and Rufus McAden in dextrOus use
of the gavel.
When it is considered that this
was said Of a e youth who had
never before been in Il legislative
body and had not then a fOrtnight's
experience in the chair it is great
praise. Holden had the gift of ora
tory as we'll as of pOesy. The former
he put to the worst of use in the bad
days of Reconstruction it is pleasant
to- think that from his sad and
wasted life there springs for present
use this fine flower of Hatteras, re
calling him again, and awakening
afresh the hope that he too may
have gained the open sea at last

TRAINING THE PUP.

We confess to a thorough liking
for a good dog; in fact, we do not
think u boys life is complete with
out a dog. There T dogs and dogs,
however dogs that are fit only for
the manure pile, (and these are
greatly in the majority and dogs
that have more sense than men.
However we'll bred a dog may be, he
IS liable to be a nuisance unless we'll
trained. A we'll trained shepherd
dog on the stock farm is worth as
much for practical purposes as the
best horse on the place, and besides
is Il source of permanent delight on
the farm. The following directions
for training a shepherd dog are from
the pen of Mr.. James Arnold, in
Farm, Stock and Home:
Now, having got the right pup,
the first step is to establish a bond
of confidence between him and your
self. Make him believe that you are
his best friend, feed him a few It'd
bits, and when you eat a lunch
divide it with him, and he will watch
for your coming as d girl for her
lover. Having established yourself
in his affection the first thing to
teach him is to drive sheep. This is
the kindergarten of the pup. Tell
him to drive them up, clap your
hands Il bit, and run with him, and
if an old eve turns at him, go for
her yourself and encourage the pup
to do the same. Don't let anything
we drive him in his puppyhoOd,
and when he is grown he will have
courage. Next, teach him to use his
voice. This you can do by telling
him to speak up" and at the same
time initiate the bark of the dog. He
Will soon learn to do the same. Re
member that plenty of bark in Il
sheep dog is better than too much
bite, although Il few nips II good
sometimes, to give the flock II whole
some fear of the dog.
Now teach the dog to jump, as he
viii frequently have to go over
fences to perform his duties. To do
this, take him to a low fence that he
cant crawl through or run around,
then step over and say ''jump.'
Coax him. but always wind up with
the word Jump" Practice him at
this until he will jump "a fence four
and a half feet high. Next teach
him to go around the flock. This
you can do by swinging your arm in
Il circular and using the
words "go around" Speak plain to
him, and remember that he is learn
ing a language foreign to his own,
and like a person, he has to have
time to learn it. If he does not I'M
derstand you at first, show him what
you want by doing it yourself, and
encourage by telling him he is a
'.gOOd doggie," and when he has
gone far enough call him back by
the single word there" and beckOn
to him as you would a person. AL
ways use the same words, and make
the appropriate motions for what
ever you want him to do. Teach
him one thing at a time, have pa
tience with him, and after a while
he will understand your motions as
far as he can see you, and when you
want him to come back just beckon
to him, turn and walk away.
How to train a shepherd dog is one
of the many things, however, which
can be learned only by actual expert
ence.-Wallace's Farmer.

AN ARTISTIC PAINTING.
''Napoleon's Retreat From Moscow" by Mrs.
Denmark. of Raleigh.

'Napoleon's Retreat From MOSCOW by mrs.
Denmark, of Raleigh.
We clip the following from the
Raleigh Morning Post of Octo-
Der 18th:
There is exhibited at Messrs.'
Weathers and Utley's store on Mar
tin street, an oil painting of unusual
interest, especially by reason of its
great artistic merit and because it is
the work of u Raleigh artist. Ma
poIeon's Retreat from Moscow" is
the title of the painting ard it is
from the work of Mrs. j. w. Den
mark, who is, by the way, "a daugh-
ter of the late Colonel L. L. Polk.
The painting is pronounced by all
who have seen it a real gem, and de-
clare that it would reflect credit
upon a master in the world of art.
The picture was admired by scores
of people yesterday and caught the
Y of a member of The Morning
Post staff in passing. It is remark
able for the perfect proportion OF
general outline, perfect shading and
tints of the landscape, notably a soft
sunset glow which skirts the hOri,
ION, and for the excellent likeness
of Napoleon who is represented as
mounted on horseback and followed
by his corps of aides, the long line Of
soldiery stretching far cross the
country on the left, their polished
bayonets g~listening in the sunset
glow.
Mrs. Denmark is an artist of whom
Raleigh and the State at large may
be proud. She has painted several
Dictures heretofore which have at
tracted public attention and elected
high compliments. Her work is all
the more a credit to her for the
reason she is a self-made artist in
that she has not had the advantages
of special advanced instruction
either in an art school or by private
tutor and her success is due to her
personal talent and it's faithful de-
velopment unaided by instructions.
It is we'll worth a trip to Messrs.
Weathers & Utley's store to see this
last painting by Mrs. Denmark.
