a DOG STowAWAY.-Many years ago,
upon returning from residence in Italy,
we took a steamer from Leghorn to Liv-
erpool to avoid the fatigue of the land
journey. On coming into port at Mar
seilles, we were. detained several days,
the ships boats plying between the steam
er and the shore, the harbor being as
usual crowded with ships of every ma
ton and description. On the second day
after leaving port most miserable, half
starved terrier dog, one side Of whose
body was a mass Of pitch, was observed
to crawl upon the companion ladder, Civ
ing terrified look around him.


Much surprised at the sight of the
wretched ANIMAL the Captain exclaimed:
" Whose dog can this be?" and the in
quiry went around among the several
passengers and crew. No one owned
him, and the steward, following him on
deck, explained that he had found the
poor creature hidden away in an empty
berth. Captain NJ, kind and humane
man, proposed to adopt him as one Of the
the ships company, and, sitting him up
on his hind legs, made pretense OF Civ
ing him a dozen as punishment for com
ing on board as stoWawdy, greatly to
the amusement Of the children, and then
named him Jack"


A sailor creased his coat and set him
free from the pitch, making him look
more respectable and with good living
and kind treatment, Jack soon recovered
his spirits and seemed, out Of gratitude,
to attach himself especially to the Cap
tain.


Ifspoken to in any other language than
English he would remain quite uncon-
ccrned, but Good dog" q" Good old fell
low" would make him wag his tail and
look happy.


Before coming into the Mersey we took
in ourpilot. Then sudden change came
over Jack, who had been a most quiet,
peaceable traveller. lie grew quite eX-
cited, running up and down on the bridge
jumping up to get look over the side.
So great was his evident excitement the
nearer we came to Liverpool that he at
tractcd the attention Of every one on
board. On reaching our destination, and
while as yet the steamer had scarcely
stopped, the ropes for mooring being
thrown on shore, Jack was observed to
mount case Of oranges placed at the
side Of the steamer, and at one bound
lcapcd on shore in a moment.


Follow that dog" cried the Captain
to man Standing on the wharf, "and
see wher hc goes.' Off set the man,
and atc. some time returned quite out Of
breath, aging he had been obliged to
give over the chase, Jack having set off
with quick iun up one street and down
another, evidently taking the nearest road
home. The curious fact was how the
dogs instinct enabled him to choose out
Of the many hips lying around one whose
destination was Liverpool. How he came
on board none Of the sailors could tell
that he was doing wrong he evidently
knew by hiding himself away until dis
covered by the steward.

INVENTION is not entirely confined to
the Chinese. a Brookfcld lady has had
a goose pleasantly engaged on several
eggs. 1t is a well established tradition
that a goose will not remain contented on
a nest unless there is a gander in sight.
1t is a beautiful illustration of the confd-
ing and lovable dependence of the sex.
About the time the setting was half over,
the gander died Here was dilemma.
The eggs were not far enough gone to
make good goslings, and yet too far
to make palatabe omelettes. She was
not able to borrow a gander, so she
resorted to artifce. She took looking
glass and placed it in front Of the nest SO
the goose was able to see its own reAec-
ton, and being nothing but goose, the
sitting continued, and in course of time
eight fatherless goslngs mournfully en-
tered Brookfeld. This is not a subtle ar
gument in favor Of woman's rights, but a
simple statement Of an honest lact.-Dan-

PROF. JOHN WISE and W. Fl.
Donaldson, Two experienced
and well known eronauts, pro.
pose to take the balloon voy
age to Europe, of which SO
much has been SAID and so lit

Aldermen have responded to a
petition from them, and made
an appropriation of $4,000 to
aid them in fitting out an eri-
al ship, in which they will start
from the Common in that city
on the 4lh of July. The gen.
tlemen intend taking two other
persons with them, and through
the cooperation of the Frank
lin Institute of Philadelphia,
expect to secure the services
of two scientific men. Prof.
Wise bases his reason for un.
dertaking this perilous voyage
on the following theories: At a
certain height above the earth
there is a continuous air cur
rent, or tide setting from west
to east, caused mainly by the
centrifugal lorce generated by
the revolution oil The earth on
its axis, and that this current
moves at the rate OF from go to

The Convention which met las
Saturday, in this city,was a decid

in attendance, and as to the
character of the resolution,
adopted. Of the regular reso
lutions, we need only say thai

expressed in no equivocal Ian.
guage.


We have watched the progress
of the Farmers movement with
interest. Thus far it has been
conducted with great prudence
and wisdom. In all the resOIu.
tions we have seen, which have
thus far been adopted, in various
places, we find nothing but a
temperate and dignifcd demand
for just and equitable relief for
the farmers of the nation. An
effort has been made to create a
prejudice against this movement
by charging that it is intended
to advance the interests of the
farmers at the expense of all
other classes. The charge is
wholly unfouDded. The farmers
only demand equal rights for all
and special privileges for none.


The resolutions adopted on
Saturday are to be laid before
the Constitutional Convention
We hope that that body will en-
graft such provisions into the
fundamental law as will render
the existence of oppressive mo-
nopolies in Ohio an impossibility.


We say, therefore, that, judg.
ing the Farmers movements by
its avowed principles, it should
receive the unanimous support
of all good citizens. The inter
ests of all classes in the body
polite are so mutually related
that whatever promotes the real
interests of any one class, at the
samc time benefits every other
class. The increased prosperity
OF the farmers will insure better
wages to the mechanic, the farm
hand and the laborers in every
department of industry. The
movement being simply intended
to secure equal rights to all,
commends itself to as as worthy
of the unreserved support of all,
regardless of class, occupation
or party.-Circleville Union.

Some eight OF ten years ago, SAYS the
New England Farmer, Joseph d. Holmes.
Charles Jordan and William Millard, three
young farmers living almost within a
stones throw of each other, decided to
join in establishing a dairy milk route
from their farms to Pawtucket, Rhode
Island, some six miles away. Neither
farm was large enough to sustain Il route
alone, but the three together could do it
easily. Neither wanted to take the place
OF a middlcman and do all the marketing,
nor did either wish to give up his business
to middleman. So they agreed that
each should take his turn on the milk
wagon.


The milk accounts are all kept IN one
book, and the buyers at the illage settle
their bills by this book, whether il comes
by one OF another of the members of the
company. Each of the three men 90 with
the wagon every third day in regular
order, unless for accommodation sake one
goes a trip for one of the others Each uses
his own horse and wagon, and each knows
the amount OF milk that is taken from the


different farms every day.


The two trips that each one makes every
week enables him to market most of his
other produce, such as apples, potatoes,


sweet corn, tomatoes and other garden


products, of which each one raises consid-
cradle quantities, without making special
trips for such purposes Nor is there any


hitching up and going to the store for
purchase ali the buying, as we'll as sell
ing, being done on their regular market
days; and they are all in daily communi-


cation with the post office. which is no
small convenience 10 farmers


Under this system OF partnership the


cost of marketing is reduced to the mini


mum, while each bears his Just proportion
of the expenses and receives equal share
| in all the advantages Of the combination
Since this arrangement has been estab-
lished all their farms have been really


enhanced in value The young men have
| increased their stock, and it is better fed
| and better housed Buildings have been
| repaired and enlarged, more and better
| tools purchased, and the land is constantly


increasing in fertility and productiveness.
But little complaint is heard from them
about hard times for farmers They pay
their bills, take the papers, and know
what is going on in the world outside.
We have been familiar with this com


pany from its organizations and believe
the example these men have set is worthy


Of imitation by many farmers who are


now grumbling about the cost of getting
| their goods to market.

The demands of our Government upon Spain-published in the Miner of yesterday may seem harsh, to some folk. But when we come to look at the enorniity of Spain's latest offense, against this nation, we are free to confess that we "cannot look at the matter in that light" Individual murdercrs are, in almost all countries, sacrificed, in one way and another. Why, then, should a murderous nation be permitted to shield itself from just punishment behind international law7 This, Spain is now aching to do, and this, our Gov ernment should not permit her to do.

 Always lawless power; always cruel, arro- gant and vindictive, she cannot now under stand why an enlightened world will not permit her to revive the horrors of the In- quisition; the old wholesale massacres and robberies which marked her westward course and followed her on her retreat to her own narrow confines, after God had pitied her col onists in America and given them their free dom.

 Her acquiescence in our demands cannot restore the lives of the poor wretches who recently sailed on the Virginius; nor would it cause her to cease torturing the Cubans No, justice and the voice of humanity must guide our Government in this matter, and nc cant about International law should preyen, 1 our saving the Cuban lamb from being de youred by the Spanish lioa. ....-:..
