THE DANUBE NOT YET CROSSED Russian Columns Concentrating to Cross the Danube at Eight Points—The Utter Worthlessness of the Roumanian Army —A False Alarm Stampedes It—Turks Bombarding Villages—Inefficiency of Sebastopol Blockade, NIOIIOLA8 RECEIVED COLDLY AT BUCHAREST. London, May 10.—The reception of tho Grand Duke Nicholas, at Bucharest, was cold, without a single cheer. BUSMAN VESSEL ESCAPED FROM SEBASTO POL. A Russian war vessel escaped from Sebastopol and reached Batourn Sunday night. When seven miles from shore she sent fonr boats with torpedoes to attack the Turkish frigate in the roadstead. The boats were driven off. Two reached Pati. The fate of the others is unknown. A steamer also disappeared. The Rus sians attach importance to the escape of the steamer, as showing the inefficiency of the Sebastopol blockade. TURKS HURRYING TO TIIE DANUBE. The Turks have diapatohed 1G,000 men from the garrison at Widdiu to the Broadukscha in all haste. ROUMANIANS AND SERVIANS. The Roumanians officially report 4,000 wonndod in Kalafat during the bombard ment. No Russians are further west than Twinesveru. The Roumanian party which domauds active co-operation with Russia, are held in check by foreign in iluence, which favors a tomporizing poli cy. Tbo Servian volunteers are constant' ly passing the frontier to join tho Bosnian insurgents. The Circassians, who hove risen in Trans-Caucaasian Russia, have destroyed all telegraphs. The defeat of the Russians near Batourn, with 4,000 hilled, is generally believed. NO QUARTER TO ROUMANIANS. The impression appears genoral at Widdin that no quarter will be allowed to the Uoumaniaus who cross the Dan* obo. The MERIDITE8 drove the Turks from Orosohi. MOVEMENTS ON THE DANUBE. A great movement has commenced among tho Russian troops on the opposite bank at Giurgevo. Eight battalions of Russian infantry, several batteries of ar Cillery and squadrons of cavalry passed through Giurgevo, following the road to Simnitza. They have oonsiderab'e force at Kamora. Desultory firing is going on The Turkish troops are enthusiastic. The Russians are apparently attempting to force the Danube,or by a manoeuvre draw away tho Turks from other points. Up to last night, however, they were not sue cessfnl. The Hungarians have begun forming at Pera. Nicsic has been revictualled. RUSSIAN FLEET IN THE RED REA. Great excitement exists at Jeddah from apprehension of the appearance of a Rus sian fleet in the Rod sea. GERMAN AND AUSTRIAN PROTE8T AGAINST POLISH LEGIONS. The German and Anstrian representa tives at Constantinople are instructed to protest against the formation of Polish legions in Turkish service. RUSSIAN AMERICAN FLEET I OR PERSIAN GULF The Liverpool Courier's London corres pondent says, the India office has infor mation that the Russian vessels at Sen Francisco have been ordered to the Per sian Gulf. PLAN OF THE CAMPAIGN. The Bucharest campaign will now pro ceed according to tho original programme, tho Roumanian army remaining on the defensive within its own territory, the Russians crossing the Danube at eight points simultaneously, and pressing for ward toward tho Balkans with all possible rapidity, leaving behind in Bulgaria civil officials charged with the organization of the institutions. The Roumanian Cham ber of deputies voted a credit of two mill ion dollars for maintainance of the army. RUSSIAN COLUMNS MOVING FOB POBITION TO CROSS DANUBE. The greatest possible Becreoy is observ ed as to the movomonts of Russian troops. Still from various indications, it would appear that tho troops on the left wing, which had at first extended all along tho lower Danube, have gradually been drawn nearer to Galatz, ltoni and Ibrail. As for the troops which havo passed Bucharest, they are reported to bo bearing on Olten- itza in order to better disgnisc thoir movements. There ore comparatively small numbers actually in position on Ihe Danube — most are echeloned further back, poiutB being chosen at cross-roads, so that troops may be moved in one or another direction. Thus, those south of Bucharest may be available for advance, either on Oltenitza or Ginergeva. At the same time, there are signs that a Russian column is moving still further westward. This column is kept tho most backward, so it may bo meant for Turna, Magureli, opposite Nikopoli or for Simrutza, oppo site Sisters. It will take some time, it seems, before the whole force is in posi tion. According to an estimate, not more than half can bo said to bo already with their accompaniments, without which, of course, no campaigning is pos sible in Bulgaria. WORTHLE8SNE88 OF ROUMANIAN TROOPS. The JaBsay correspondent of the A^mjs, disonssing the efficiency of the Rouma nian army, notes that there was a Rou manian corps of observation stationed at would be a good thing to exeroiee those troops, and accustom them to the sound of I war; so one night he ordered an alarm sounded, but he has been heard to say he bitterly repented having taken so bold i measure, for it took him a week to get I the detachment together again. The sol diers have not yet nil been found, and they are supposed to be still running. The Telegraph's special from Pera says I there has been an unusually late winter throughout Asia Minor. Snow is still deep on the ground, retarding military operations. THE BRITISH FLEET ARRIVED AT PORT SAID. TREASURY WHISKEY CIRCULAR.

Washington, May 14.—Several mem bers of the Cabinet deny positively that the Government has formally adopted any now policy in respect to tho incur sions on tho Texas frontier. They say that tho subject is uudergoing investiga tion, and it is believed that the questions will be formally presented to whatever Government may be established in Mexi- oo, with a view to socuriug some satisfac tory solution before resorting to harsher measures. Various statements havo been tole- gta-ffied by sensational correspondents from this city, giving nu account of cer tain filibuster expeditious whioh are bo- ing organized in tho interest of Lerdo, the recently expelled President of Mexi co, and about to enter that country with tho conuivauco and sympathy of the Ad ministration. It is alleged that negotia tions having thiB object are now actually going on. There is official authority for stating that no such schouio or project is under advisement by tho Government, and that if the existeuco of any expedition of this character shall become kuown to tho Government its members will bo imme diately arrested. Even individuals do- parting with tho known purpose of join ing such an organization would bo ar rested. The story in all its details has a fishy look, and has probably boon started for speculative purposes. It creates no o citoinent hero and very little talk. L. Q. W. Unxtnirioti, Uy., Race*.

Governor ly confined to the natives about tho Con damine and its affluents, where I was fro quently in company with natives for about a year. They had two weapons—one largo, for war, the other Hinall for game. I should think the weapon is seldom thrown in war, since most of thoir con tests (such as they are) take place in scrub or forest,where it could not bo used to nd vantage; but I have seen a native fright fully cut iu the abdouieu, and was told by a native that ho had been struck by t boomerang thrown by the hostile party, I have seen a few of these contests, but never saw the boomerang used iu any way. The “waddys” wore thrown freely, the spear seldom. Tho game boomerang is thrown among (lights of ducks, and also parrots when congregated on tbo trees and gathering nectar from their flowers, and with marked effect. This I have seen several timos. There are two ways of throwing tho weapon, whioh, as I could throw it well at oue timo, I will endeavor to describe. It ia grasped quite at the cud by tho right hand and raised above the head, the elbow being bent, tho weapon assuming a position with its convex odgo downward on a nearly horizontal lino at right angles to tho intended lino of flight. Tho arm is brought swiftly round from left to* right, be coming gradually extended until it reaches a lino directly iu front of the face, when the weapon is delivered from the now straight arm, with tho concave edge toward tho line of flight. This is the method of throwing into the air. No dependence can bo placed on tbe return of the weapon within a circle of 20 yards, though it sometimes returns dangerously near the thrower. If its moots with an obstacle it is cither stopped and falls dead to tho earth, or its course is changed. In either case its peculiar motion is de stroyed, as must bo obvious. Iu tho other method of throwing, the weapon is hold in the flame way, but delivered nearly on line with tho hip, and made to striko the earth about 10 yards in front of the thrower, pitching, I believe, (though it is not easy to observe,) on ono of its horns. Thence it richoohots and flies straight away for perhaps 70 or 80 yards, keeping a position of about four feet from tho earth, and gradually rifling until it is spent. It returns very little, if at all. In this way only can it be used for war, since in tho othor it begins to mount at once, aud would soon be above tbe ene my’s head. The weapon is made of vari ous woods, n peiee with a slight elbow being Boleoted. It is hardenod by baking. The right form is arrived at by trial, as I have seou during the process of manufac ture. Those sold to Europeans are tho failures. I had to pay a good price for the two I brought homo, but they oellent specimens.—Nature. NADOWA. OONFLBEION OF A MAN WHO MUBDERKD ms wife's lover. The town of Vau Wort, Ind., is greatly excited over a sensation of first-class dimensions. On Friday evening a respect ed aud well to do farmer named John Anson, living iu Jackson township,eloven miles from Vau Wort, wont to that place and made a startling confession to the officers. His story substantially is ns fol lows : About the first of last January a young man named Arthur Audersou, who engaged in c itting timber, went to Anson’s house and secured board. An derson was much impressed with tho charms of Anson's wife, aud made him- Holf exceedingly agrooablo to her. This did not osoapo tho attention of tho hus band, who, howovor, hud too much con- fidonco iu his wife to believe that she would bo guilty of infidelity to him. So things moved on until about the first of March, when Mrs. Anson suddenly ex pressed a determination of coming to Fort Wayne. She gave her husband very lit tle information as to tho object or proba- blo^duration of her visit to this city. She left and oawo to Fort Wayne, Anderson remaining at her house. Her husband receiving no letter from her, bis suspi cions became oxcitod, nnd ho wont to tho post office and asked if there was any luttor for Anderson. Ho was inform od that thoro was a letter for Anderson, but that tho latter had directed that his mail should not- bo given to any one who had not a written order from him. This redoubled Anson’s suspicions, aud ho liustonod away, forged au ordor from An derson for the letter, nnd soon returned to tho post offioo. Ho obtained tho letter, and found that it was from Fort Way no, and was iu his wife’s humlwriU ing. Anxiously ho toro oj on the en velope, ami discovered the existence of guilty relations between tho writer and Anderson, nnd also that she had come to Fort Wayne and was to bo joined in this city by Anderson at an early day. The husband nearly orazod, returned to his home with tho tell-tale epistle, aud do* nouuced Anderson as a villain. Tho lat ter seized an uxo and dealt Auson a blow, which, however, was not serious. He was about to repeat tho attack when An son took tho large butcher knife from tho tablo and drove it three times through Anderson’s heart. Anson left alone with tbo body of tho man who had wrongod him, was driven almost to frenzy. He took tho body and dragged it some dis tance from tho house to a small shed on tho farm used by tho lumbermen. There ho dug a grave and buried tho body, and, to further conceal tho crime, burned the shanty down over it. Anson declares that his lifo sinco tho 1st of March has boon wretched and miserable beyond longer endurance. Ho says that ho has got no sloop at night aud no peace by day, and that if he had attempted to longei carry his guilty secret about with him ho must havo become insane. Auson’s confession when uindo was not generally believed op account of his past good character. A party was sent, however, to tho spot in dicated by him, aud Anderson’s body was exhiuued nnd fonud to have boon stabbed in tho manner confessed by Auson. Last woelc a brother of Anderson,tho deceased, win in tho city looking for him. He re ported tho mysterious disappearance to tho police authorities horo, and requested them to trnco it up. Auson says ho has not heard from his wife since the homi cide, but she is believed to be in this city somowhoro.—Fort Wayne (lnd) Senti nel, May 7. Emmanuel. In a history of this war, published in 18GI by Gamier, of Paris, it is said that ftvo of tho mon who fought in the army of Naples “desorvod to havo their namos writtou in lottors of gold.” One of tho five was the young man who is to becomo Dr. Hammond's son-in-law. At the close of the war, Naples having been incorporated with the kingdom of Italy, the Marquis, togothor with his fath er ami brothers, offered thoir services to the Italian Government. But, as tho Lanzas wore kuown to bo strong legitim ists, their offer was not accepted by Vic tor Emmaunol. Iu 1865 tho Marquis, finding tho Italian army dosed to him, decided to offer his servioos to tho Austrian government in the war with Prussia. Ho was recoin- mended by the late Queen of Naples, who iR n sister of tho Empress of Aus tria. Ho was received as ono of tho Em peror’s cadets, and shortly afterwards rose to the rank of First Lieutenant. Iu 1871 ho left tho Austrian army. His pay was insufficient aud ho hod got himsolf into hot water with his Colonel, llo offered his resignation and reooivod an honorable discharge. Iu tho same year ho decided to emigiate to America and make his own wav in tho world, asking favors of no ono. Being an excellent linguist, anil having received a most thorough militaiy educa tion, ho hoped that ho could at least earn n fair livelihood in tho new country as an engineer. In this ho was bitterly disap pointed, nnd ho obtained work at Delmou- ioo’s, whore he was discovered by Mrs. Crosby.

Thin is the limit beyond whioh medical honors in this country are not supposed to go. Yet Franco had its Baron Nelaton; aud per* haps the Crown will so far compromise between tradition and justice that, when a great physician hus reuiized a fortune and retired, the British peerage will ad mit him within its ranks.

The Emperor William’s favorite mare which ho rode at tho battlo of Sudowa died a short timo ago, and in connection with the event this story is related : Du ring tho battlo the King, accompanied by Prince Dismarck, repoatedly placed him self in groat danger from the shells whiz zing around. In vain Prince Dismarck urged his kiug not to expose himself so. “But,” relates the Princo, “wliou his majesty had ordered tho cavalry to ad vance at Lips, and the shells came thicker than ever, I ventured to expostulate afresh, and said, ‘If your Majesty has no pitv for yourself, ut any rate have some for your minister, for whom your faithful people will hold you responsible.’ Tho King then gave me his hand, and replied. ‘Well, Dismarck, now lot us ride on.’ So saying, His Majesty turned and cantered away as slowly as though ridiug along tho Linden. That made mo wild, and riding up behind him I gave Miss Sadowa a sly kiok that considerably hurried her move ments.

A WEDDING ROMANCE OF NEW YORK FASH ION A RLE LIFE—HOW A YOUNG ITALIAN NOBLEMAN MADE HIS WAY IN THE NEW WORLD. The marriage of Miss Clara N. Ham mond, tho only daughter of Dr. William A. Hammond, ex-Surgoon Goneral of tho Unitod States army, and well known ns one of the leading members of tho tnedi- val profession in this country, to the Marquis Maufrodi Lanza di Mereato Bi anco, a member of a family whioh claims .lescout not only from tho noblest names in Italy, but from royalty itself,took place at St. Thomas’s church, Now York, Thurs day night. The Now York World states Hint tho groom-duct, tho Marquis Maufrodi Lanza for reasons which will presently appear, loft his homo in Italy for tho United States live years ago. On reaching Now York ho found himself absolutely without resources. As be had received a first class military education aud had served in the Italian army ho fancied bo could easily procuro an appointment as engineer in the military or civil service. Ho soon learned his mistake,and thereupon looked about him for an honest moans of earn ing his livelihood without calling on his relatives. A few weeks after tho arrival of tho Marquis iu this county, Mrs. Howard Crosby, tho wife of Chancellor Crosby, dining at Deluiouioo’s, was so much at tracted by the singularly well-bred man ner and bearing of one of the waiters that she iuducod tho gentlemen of tho party to make inquiries, which dually elicited his name and something of his history. This was told the young Marquis Maufrodi Lanza, and Mrs. Crosby, after satisfying heiself that he was exactly what he repre sented himself to be, made au effort to secure him some employment more bofit • ting his education aud capacity. She procured for him a uoto of introduction to Mr. Schlosiuger, tho American partner in tho firm of Warburg & Co., silk impor ters, iuto whoso service ho entered, whore he rapidly developed into a thorough bus iness man aud a skiilfid accountant, and was finally placed in charge of the entire correspondence of the firm. Tho Mar quis was now earning a competent salary, and readily made for himself a pleasant position iu tho best society of Now York. Meanwhile his gratitude to Mrs. Crosby made him a frequent visitor at her resi dence, and there it was that he first mot the young lady who this evening is to become his wife. Tho groom elect is the third son of Conradodi Munfrodi Lanza, duoadi Dra in, nnd he bears the title of marquis him self, iu virtue of a special privilege grant ed to tho Lanza family throe centuries ago by Philip II. of Spain. Under this privilege all male members of tho second branch of the Lanza family are allowed to bear this title. Tho marquis was born in Sicily and is now thirty-two years of ago. Ho was educated at tho Military Acade my of Naples, and at the same time was a page at tho court of King Francis II. In I860 ho entered the Neapolitan army as a lieutenant of artillery. He was present at tho soigo of Gaeta, and for his gallan try during that a*. igo reooivod two deco rations. After tho fighting around Gaota he was taken prisoner by Gen. Cilchina, com mander of tho national forces of Viotor A LITTLE BTOUY BY WAY OF CHICAGO. Tho Chicago Tribune contains tho fol lowing noconut of a St. Louis incident which, somehow, did not got into print locally : A St. Louis hotel hooper, after giving tho Southern.Hotel disaster some thought, hit upon a notable expedient, took his trusted employees iuto his confidence,nnd chuckled as he thought of tho immense success ho was going to achieve. About 2 a. m. ou Friday an alarm of fire was sud deuly given iu tho hotel—boll -boys gal loped to aud fro along the halls arousing tho guests, a well trained brigade of porterH flow to tho baggage room, tho clerks, like ho many automata, soized the books and othor contents of tho safe, and tho burly head- waiter stood at tho top of tho stairs politely ushering the guests, in thoir various Rtages of dishabille, toward tho office. When they had all assembled there the proprietor, who had boon anx iously watching tho scone, with his watch in his hand, jumped upon tho counter and said: “Ladies and gentlemen, 1 have been undesirons of having tho comforts of my guests impaired by tho sad scones at the Southorn Hotel, which doubtless aro fresh in your remembrance. To this cud 1 have thorougoly drilled my oi ploy os, so that each ono knows his duti in the event of a lire breaking out.

NOVEL REVENUE. A DISCARDED SUITOR BITES HIS LOVE’S NOSE OFF. Dubuque, May 14.—A young lady school-teacher in Allamakee oonnty had a lover whose affection turned to rage iu a singular manner.

He packed up his duds for loaving the country, but be fore going called at the school to say fare well. After a few minutes’ conversation he requested the favor of a parting kiss, and reached out to unbrace her, when she struggled, nudor bashful modesty. Seizing the opportunity, ho drew her face to his and hither nose uoarly off. The end part, a good mouthful, tiuug by tbe gristle, aud was sowed in place by a neighboring surgeon. With best possi ble care she will be disfigured for life. Putting his Horse to Bed.—Iu a book written by Major Charles Loftus, former ly of tho Royal Navy and Into of the Cold stream Guards, occurs the following pas sage : His undo asks : “ ‘Whore are you going?’ ‘1 am going to lay my horse,’ I replied. ‘Lay yonr horse!’ he said, ‘what do you mean ?’ Iu two minutes I ex- plaind. ‘Oh!’ said ho, *1 should like to seo that performance,’ and, jumping up, he was followed by all tho geutleraen to the stables. ‘Now, how iH this done?’ TUo grooms wero bedding up their horses. I walked up to miue, aud commenced by patting him ou tho neck, nnd talking to him in soft, low tones. Ho began pawing first with ono fore foot, then with tho othor, nnd evidently knew mo and my voice. Taking a snaffle bridle, I put it on, pulled him gently back into the stall, rubbed my hand up aud down on his knees, and then, putting my mouth to his ear, whispered iuto it, as if talking to him. Ho began immediately to move, and, bonding his knees, slowly let himself down on his near side, I at tho same time keepiug well clear of him, while I still patted him on the nook. When I took tho hridlo off, ho settled for tho night. ‘Now,’ said I, ‘bo’s safo, and will sleep all night. Como away!’ They wore aston ished. ‘Why,’ Raid my undo, ‘I shall send you to Astley’s Amphitheatre, aud make yonr fortune. Where did you learn this?’ “From my own groom,” I re plied.” The Liilowt Nfylen In lll|rli-tonet! I'unoral*. “Burleigh” writes from New York: “A nobby funeral lias especial regard to tho hour of the day, usually eleven in tho morning. Tho soxton has a groat deal to do with giving character to tho services. It is a common thing to givo a clergyman if he is of the right stamp, from $25 to $ 100 for his services. The amount of light let into the room, the pose of tho coffin, the arrangement and costliness of flowers, tho casket itsolf with tho number of coaches, attest tho social rank of the deceased. “It is getting to be rather common for ladies to ordor thoir casket and funeral trimmings while they are in good health. A wealthy lady in Now Jersey has just done that thing. Another lady in this city purchased the material for her funer al attire, was measured by a dress-maker, bad the garment made up in tho neatest stylo, fit tod aud tried on, as if sho was going to a ball, and then carefully laid away iu tho drawer until the groat change should oorno. Tlio Mroiti I.oiiiIoii Doctor. The illness of the Prince of Wales was tho evout which made tho reputation of Sir William Gull so truly national. He had boon a lecturer of Guy’s Hospital for four and twenty years when ho was oalled nway by a sudden summons to Sandringham. This was not, howovor, his first introduction to tho Princo, as ho had previously attended him. Tho Prince had been struck down by tho commonest nnd deadliest of diseases, typhoid fever, the most fatal aud the most easily pre vent) bio of disorders. Wo talk of Bulga rian atrocities ; but every year thoro uro atrocities far more dreadful committed iu this oouutry by tho butchery of some hundred thousand pooplo whoso lives might bo saved by some care aud common sense. The avorago duration of life in England has boon lengthened several years on clear historical evidouce ; thoro is no reason why tho average length of human lifo should not extend, say seven years more, if only people could bo ad vised to give anything liko tho sumo atten tion to prevention which they do to euro. It is to bo said to the credit of tho dootors, by whom nu increase of business would naturally bo re garded with not unfavorable eyes, that they insirfl loudly and constantly on the demands of sanitary reform; but it is the insensate army of their patients who will not consent by timely care to abbreviate the labors of the medical man. Royalty itself was stricken down, and tho wholo land became learned for awhilo ou tho pathology of typhoid fovor. l)r. Gull packed up his portmanteau ami started at once for Sandringham. Wo will not say that his patients wero loft to look afte.r themselves, for thoro is no lack of able men to help such a man at such a need. Sir William wuh in attendance night and day at Sandringham, and lavished human watchfulness and skill. There was nothing he did rot do for tho Prince, llo was not only physician but nurse. That memora ble illness is a glorious pago in our English history. To all human Rooming it could only end fatally. Wo wore hoping against liopo. It was almost only the great Lon don physician who held that whilo thoro was life there was hope. In answer to a na tion’s prayers our Prince was given back to ns. But the human moans of preserving lifo woro mainly tbe treatment and constant attendance of Dr. (lull. This proud and glorious position will give him a lasting name aud his own proper niche in tho history of tho reign. It is not that a thousand other brave men would not havo equally done their best; but tho supreme chance came to this par ticular individual, aud he usod it to the very beat. Hardly any rank or roumuer- J There is no use asking the Sprigginses to subscribe agniu for any New York pa per. Mrs. Spriggins spoiled ten yards of calico, weok before last, trying to cut out a dross from the pattern published in one of tho big Now York dailies which that paper printed over tho ridiculous label of “A Map of tho War in Europe.” Last week one of her neighbors, relying upon tho religious character of tho Christian Onion, tried to cut out a chomiloou from its pattern; but tho tlftng doesn t fit woTth a darn, being too bias iu the left limb. After this if any subscription agent calls iu that neighborhood ho will got scalded, sure, unions ho travels for one of the regular, old, reliable fashion papers.— Ex. Mr. Darker and HI* H’lille lliill Pup. Mr, Parker was walking down Broad way yesterday, a bonevolout smile on hia ruddy countenance, and a fat, white bull dog trotting complacently at his heels. Occasionally Mr. Parker would look around at the dog and chuckle to himself. “Tho Board of Aldermen bo darned,” said Mr. Parker. “I’m not going to put a four foot strap on your nock, Marcus Aurelius,” and Marcus Aurelius wagged his stump of tail. Just then a small boy exploded a bomb directly under the dog’s bluok nose, and that animal gave a howl and made a dash at tho small boy. “Look a yoar,’’ yelled a policeman to .Mr. Parker, “you want to put a strup on that year dawg. He’s mad.” “He is not mad,” said Mr. Parker. “Well, old feller, whoso tho judge? I say that yoar dwag’s mad, and I’m goin’ to knock ’im on the head with my club.” Mr. Parker for the moment looked frightened. Suddenly, however, a twin* klo came into hia eye, and drawing him self up to his full height, ho addressed the policeman hantily : “Officer, you evidently do not know whom wo are. We had desired to pre serve our incognito, but you force us to reveal ourNolves. Wo are tho Grand Duke Alexis! and that is our bull-dog. That dog is an alien ; he is not a citizen, and must not ho bound by foreigu laws and straps. Do you wish to embroil your laud in a war with Russia? If you do just club that dog.” •Well, call off your dawg thon, said the policeman. “Hero, Bloyiskinonrskiroscurobiskina* Hchowhockonski,” said Mr. Parker, with out tho slightest hesitation. “Well I’m blowed,” turned tbo officer, as Mr. Parker and hia dog disappear d. “I’m blowed ef that dawg couldn’t work a freo lunch route off the people’s legs afore the Juke could peruouuoo half his name.”—A. 1.
