A Chinese Dog story.

The following dog story is a favOrite
one in China:
There was a Chinaman who had
three dogs. When he came home one
evening he found them asleep on his
couch of teakwoOd and marble, whip
pee them and drove them forth.
THE next night when he came home
the dogs were lying on the floor. But
he placed his hand on the couch and
found it warm from their bodies; there
fore he gave them another whipping.
"The third night, returning earlier
than usual, he found the dogs sitting
before the couch, blowing on it to cool
it."

THE ONION CURE.
Remedy which Is Claimed to BE
InfaIIibIe In Pneumonia

Remedy which Is Claimed TO BE
InfaIIibIe In Pneumonia.
This remedy, which is claimed to be
infallible, was formulated many years
ago by well known physician in New
England, who never lost u patient by
this scourge: Take six or ten onions,
according to size, and chop fine Put
in large spider over hot fire, add
ing about the same quantity Of rye
meal and vinegar to form a stiff paste.
Stir thoroughly and simmer five or
ten minutes. Put into a cotton bag
large enough to cover the lungs and
apply to the chest just as hot as the
patient can bear It, In about ten min
utes change the pOultice, and thus con
tinue reheating and applying, and In a
few hours the patient will be out of
danger. And just here a word Of eau.
tion. In applying this or any other hot
pOultice care must be exercised not to
let the patient get chilled during the
changing process Have the hot one
all ready to go on before the cooling
one Is removed, and make the ex-
changes so swiftly and deftIy that
there is not a moments exposure OF
the body surface, which becomes ex.
ceedingly sensitive to a chill.

Mich. Tn, the issue OF, Dec. 10 he vividIy
describes what. he saw Of the battle of
franklin; says his standpoint was at the
eettonpress, about 40 rods in rear of the
main line OF works: that the 10th Ky. and
one other regiment moved quickly by the
flank and restored order, etc, etc. That
cottORpress was close to the gin, and what
was left of these structures were within Il
few feet Of the breastworks; very much
Of them had been utilized in the con-
struction Of the works. now think that
the south end of the gin was continuous
with the works. Forty rods in rear would
have placed the Captain well within the
village limits, and so far away that to des-
ignate a regimental organization would be
doubtful: and, again, the breach made
was much more extensive than the front
Of four regiments of the size OF those NEIL

to the Lackwanna, the Kennebec to the
MonOngehala, the Itasca to the Ossipee,
and the Galena to the Oneida.
About 6 O'Clock slight breeze sprang
up from the northwest and blew the fog
to sea; the sun shone in his morning glory,
and i'm the order stated We were moving
toward Fort Morgan. With my glass /
could discern men ON the ramparts Of Fort
Morgan as thick as ants, and apparently
not much larger. They were aware of our
intended visit, and We're rapidly completing
preparations to give us a red-hot reception.
Fort Morgan mounted about 90 guns, in
three tiers, some of them of the best Eng
lish make and recently imported. This
was one of the strongest of the Govern
ment's old stone-and- brick forts on the
coast. In addition TO the armament men
toned was battery of 10 Brooks riffed
cannon, all 1O0-pounders, planted on the
beach outside Of the northwest angle of the
fort. This battery was only little above
the water level and was protected by an
immense pile Of sandbags. To add to our
embarrassments we were obliged to go into
the Bay by the channel that was kept clear
for blOckade-runners, and that carried us
within close musket-shot of the fort All
the rest Of the main channel clear across
to Fort Gaines was not only piled with
heavy timbers, but was planted with tor
pedoes.
OPENING THE BATTLE.
When within n mile of the fort. at Gas
o'clock, our Tecumseh fired the first shot
4 OO-pounder-whch fell short. Half a
minute later Tecumseh fired her second
shot, and cloud of brickdust showed
that we were within reach Of the fort! AT
this time came glad surprise. Immense
American flags were held in folds at every
masthead by sailors knots, and the instant
the first puff of powder smoke was seen
to arise from the Tecumseh the cords were
pulled by sailors below, and To- our entire
line was in twinkling clothed in an inn
mense display of the beautiful, soul-in-
spring Stars and Stripes.
