Ever since the receipt Ut Tien Tsins ct the

grave doubts az to the authenticity Of Tie

have added their quota to the growing tl..s-
trust Of things Chinese
II seems that Mr.. Warren at present act
ing as British consul at Shanghai, has been
told by Sheng. the famous Chinese director Of
posts and telegraphs. that Yuan. the governor
OF Shan Tung, told him fshengi that q mes
sage had passed through to the United States
from Mr.. Couger on the 18th OF July telling Of
ihe conditions at the British legation. 1his
fipher dispatch was faxed by Chinese off
nials. II IS pointed out at the state depart
ment however, that there are plausible expla-
nations of this curious fact which tend to
show the authenticity of the cipher dispatch.
Secretary Hay cabIed Mr.. Conger that he
might have implicit faith in the person that
brought the dispatch to him. Mr.. Conger
therefore had right to trust the man. and
possibly he told him in a general way the CON

should be obliged to destroy il to insure his

WELi. SPENT.
Money Expended in Building kailroads
Good Investment.

The county court last week pass
ed an order, a notice Of which was
printed IN the last issue OF the Sen
tinel, taking up and eancelling the
last of the twenty one thousand dol
lar bonds voted by Grafton and
Knottsville district To the original
capital stock Of the e. Il b railroad.
For twenty years the taxpayers Of
the two districts have noted on their
tax bills so much for interest and
principal for G.. d b. railroad bonds.
This year that particular item will
be missing. The levy until the last
few wears for that purpose was l65
cents on each 800 valuation. 1t may
have seemed to the taxpayers many
times a burden, but when the fact
is taken into consideration that this
road might never have been built
but for the assistance rendered. by
the Grafton and Knoxville districts
and in view of the great benefits
that have accrued the two districts
bv reason of the building OF this
road there is no reason now To re
greet the investment. 1t is true the
taxpayers got no direct returns, but
they have reaped liberal reward
Indirectly. Inc experience in this
case as in most all others of SINH
lar character goes TO show that mon
ey spent in aiding the building of
railroads that ofen up communiea
ton and trade between sections is
money always well spent The dis
tricts which contributed to the
building OF the G. n @. railroad
helped to put in operation line OF
communication be tween Grafton
and vicinity and large and rich
section of country to the south of us
that has been great benefit for
years and will prove a much great

considerable time, had occasion in his

a certain road At a house on that
road lived a big bulldog which always
came out and attacked him viciously,

one winter day in n low sleigh, a
means Of correcting the dog by moral
suaslon occurred to him. He stopped
his horse in the road before the house.
The dog rushed out madiy, barking
and threatening to jump into the
sleigh. The minister sat in his sleigh
and paid no attention. The dog re-
tired, returned to the assault, retired
again, and a third time rushed out to
the attack, but did not touch the man
Then he returned to the doorstep and
lay down, apparently crestiallen ant
