That he did not evacuate sooner by

Raising' our Own l>ogs.
A correspondent of the Farm
and Home thus expatiates on the
dog;
Perhaps the principal end served
by his cultivation is that the dog
keeps the country from being in
fested with sheep. This noxious
creature would increase beyond
bounds, were it not for the fun
the dog has in keeping him under.
Not that the dog cats sheep. There
is nothing selfish or unselfish in
his attack on this tiinid quadruped.
It is mere playfulness on his part,
which is encouraged by the fact
that the sheep does not resist bnl
only runs from him. The sheep
won’t fight, so the dog has it all
his own way, and all the more fun.
It is perfectly plain sailing.
Tiie most remarkable fact con
nected with this habit is, that the
sheep-killing dog seems never to
be domesticated. We never knew
a man to own one. The habit is
confined to a wild breed. Men’s
dogs have often been believed in
a neighborhood to render this pub
lic service, but their owners never
claim it on their behalf. On the
contrary, they usually dispute it
with apparent surprise and the
indignation of injured innocence.
The sheep killing variety is not
the tame dog.
Another feutureof canine nature
fits him for what is called a yard
dog. It is the feature expressed
with both truth and poetry in the
words following, viz: that
• dogs delight,
1 To bark and bite,”
and it is faithfully enjoined on us
in the same stanza to “let ’em”—
an injunction generally followed,
and, indeed, one which it would be
difficult to disobey.
This favorite attribute is often
indulged at the expense of both
the brute creation and the human
without proper discrimination. The
dog will even bite the best friend
of his master, unless personally
introduced. He stands on eti
qhette. A man in dishabille stands
a bad chance with a dog. lie ad
mires full dress.
The.indiscrimination of the dog
in his regard was once the sub
ject of comment by a friend of
mine, who remarked that in a half
century of experience he had only
once known a dog to bite the riyhfi
man. This really looked as if
there was discrimination on The
dog’s part,but no mistaken grounds
of evideuce. He generally bites
the wrong man.
• Dog owners and raisers labor
under many hallucinations. One
is that their dogs will not bite
you. They know you so well, they
are confident, in their own mind,
that their dogs must know you,
too—can’t help knowing you.
1 am repraledly reminded of the
story of two gentlemen entering a*
yard. Say A: “ Brother B, please
call off this dog.” B.—“Oh, Brother
A, lie won’t bite you.” A. —‘‘But
he has done bit mo."
Such is the mistaken confidence
men have in their own dogs.
Never trust them. Keep the dog
raiser between you and them at
all times—concieutiously—or you
are iu danger.j
Freedmen are very successful iu
dog raising. Those who have no
visible means of support are
usually the most so. A freed man
will not sell his dog for any price.
There is a certain superstitious
notion entertained by him of the
fatal consequences. The law of
cause and effect, it is known, has
not much weight ou tho judgment
of the freedmam
Our generation has been accused
of being thriftless aud wearing
j out the convering tho
t goodly land of our ancestors into
a wilderness. They have not neg
lected, however, to add to its
oharms that peculiar one of being
“COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
: a 1 howling wilderness.” Night
is made ample hideous, and day
dangerous by their. vigilant sub
stitution for fences and locks. ■
In order to the full development
of our resources in this line, to
which so many persons are pecu
liarly devoted, ought we not to
import Chinamen ? Let the inqui
ry be, not tlii; price of Now York

The census taker should have a
| list of questions : Do you raise your
own dogs? What number? Value?
In what does their value consist ?
We once knew the owner of a fan
cy Italian greyhound, thorough bred,
to declare his dog worth SSOO. He
was asked the question last pro
| pounded, “What is he worth it for ?"
Rather staggered, be at length retor
ted, “Why, what is any dog worth it
for? Hie inquirer could not see it
in that light.
The cow kind is valued according
to several qualities : for work ; for
beef; for milk ; for hide. The dog
differs from the cow in these regards
The horse has ar value capable of ex
pression, but the value of a dog is
chiefly, le+thetic. It is a matter of
taste, concerning which there is no
disputation. Questions arise .cornier n
iug sheep for wool, sheep for mutton,
hardy sheep, etc., hut each man is
likely-to think well of his oicn breed
; td-dogs, Even tho ladies expend
their affections on poodles, and be
have towards them in a way which,
to say the.least of it, is very waste
*ul of the raw material. However,
in such cases wo are not envious.—
| We would not share these fond ea
rcsses either with the dog or after
him.
Seeing thus the high appreciation
in which he is held, let us, one and
all, cry,” hurrah for the dog !” and
with just pride add, “.wo raise our
own.” No provincial product i 3 the
dog. His cultivation is universal.—
There is no need of importation, for
we can raise our own. No chance
f or exportation—he can’t bs spared.
Every people, every section county,
district, neighborhood, family, raise*
his, her, their, its, your, our, own.
i dogs. Tho whole range of
| sive provisions is scarcely adequate
to express the numerous relations
borne to the dogs we raise and “pos
| sess.” As a people we possess so
■ many, and so many sorts of people
possess them.

Our (home is evidently beginning
to explode. ~ It grows too overpow
ering. Oar emotions have readied
the step which can be expressed only
in mu io—wild and opevalio music
with a chorus to wind up with as
long drawn out as the tones of the
animal wa describe, when his night
accents are prolonged a:.d have no
“dying fall”—albeit we wish much
the animal himself could have one or
more of the self-same—whether dy
ing or dead.
This affectionat94ribute to the dog

yet, hut disoourseth in linked sweet
' ness long drawn out,) is paid in ad
vance by a Lover or Mutton.
How They Fell iu Love.
They had “grown up together,’’ in
the full sense of tho term, and that
was the matter. They had eaten
each other’s mud pies, taken the
croup iu each other’s snow forts, cried
out the sums on each other’s slate,
tipped over each other’s ink bottles,
sopped up the ink with their mutual
| handkerchiefs, "told’’ of each other ■
j in about equal proportions, and “made
i up” in a common exuberance of sobs
j 1
and sassafras. They had played i'.t
lovers behind the woodpile, been
married by the prize speaker, been
divorced by the “first base,” been
reunited by the minister’s daughter,
and gone to house keeping in the
peat swamp, at regular intervals as
far Lack as their memory extended.
She had blue eyes, and never under
stood vulgar fractions. He used to
miss, so that she might get to the
hea ! of the class.
One day she braided her hair in
two little braids behind, and tied it
with a pink lute string rifetTSm at three
cents a yard. When they walked
home together he touched it gently,
to signify his approbation, and she
blushed like a May flower. It could
not have been long after that before
she grew shy at singing school, and
was apt to he going home with her
brother. In another year, when he
went to St. David’s College, she cried
herself to sleep, forgot to crimp her
hair, and said nothing was ihe mat
ter. So, oi couise, when -be came
home, on his first vacation, it all hap
pened, as it could uot very well help
happening, and as 1 suppose it must
go on happening to the end of all
young things’dreaming or old ones’
warning. She sat in the choir, in a
blue dress with whith spots, with a
[•ink bonnet and pink cheeks, anil
sang in a very sweet little coutry
voice, that quivered and culled about
the pillars of the sunny w hile meet
ing home, like an incense iu an open
field on a May day, you might have
thought, and you might not. He
grown rather tall, rather quiet, with
long hair, ami the unmistakable St.
David’s shawl, sat below, iu his fath
er’s box pew, and listened.
One Sunday it chanced that the
Rev. Mr. Love, the recently settled
and very popular shepherd of the
“meeting house,” felt moved in the
spirit to preach to his flock as a ser
mon upon Christian amity, aud to
suggest as its most fitting musical
'accompaniment hymn 857 of the
‘*Sweet Singer of Israel” (just intro
duced). Ah, you excellent mothers
of washing days on your minds, and
ye fathers struggling to keep your
faith under the discovery of Tom’s
first segar, do you never suspect in
your stupid good hearts, the tears of
solid comfort rolling into your spec
tacles as you sing, and your souls
aglow with all tho hidden meanings
of fellowship in one Master whom
they who love not never know—do
you never suspect the flirtations con
ducted over that admirable hymn ?
It may be very much too bad, but it
is very much the case. It is quite as
bad in me to suggest the sacrilege to
your young people. Bless your in
dignant souls, they stau I in need of
no suggestion. Ask them. Ido not
deny that it is atrocious in me to
spoil the hymn tor you ; but that is
another matter. She then, in her
; blue aud white dress, with a sunbeam
I struggling through a little ground
! glass gallery window upon her pink
{bonnet, sang:
j “Blest be the tie that binds
’ Our hearts in Christian love ;
J t’he fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above-”
It struck him that her voice was
i less like incense now, and more like
{melted silver; which was a very
good fancy, by the way, and he would
{ make a note of it against some in-
I definite exigencies as class orator.
! “Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares,”
faltered the little silver voice ; and so
tinkled into this:
[s2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
“When we asunder part, #
It gives us iuwurd pain ;
But we ahull still be j, ,incd in heart,"
and he, turning louiul with the audi
ence, back to the Uev. Mr. Love, as
was the fashion in the Bloomsbury
First Church , lifted his face to hers,
and their foolish young' e\es met —
met ami dropped, and the work was
done.— Elisabeth Stuart Phelps.

An Obstinate Elephant.
0 Brien’s ineungene- exhibited in
Meriden yesterday (Thursday), ac |
cording to advertisement, at the usu
al grounds on Suite street. Just
after the close of tha afternoon per
formance the great elephan', Mogul,
look it into his head to enact a trag
edy not on the hil|» j so walking ma
jestically out of bis enclosure, he
went for his keeper in a fit of rage.
The keeper sought refuge under the
cage containing kangaroos, which
Mogul disdainfully turned over in a
jitly, and walked through the canvass
out of doors. Then he w ent on a
tour, of inspection, and if not “seeking
whom he might devour,” he certainly
seemed willing to accommodate any
body or anything that might wish
tor a set-to. Meeting a pile of lum
ber in the adjoining lumber yard, he
quickly spread tha boards in good
shape for seasoning. Then meeting
in his path one of the mules belong
ing to the company, he rail h : s tusk
completely through its body, pin
ning it to the ground, and killing
the animal instantly. The next oh.
struetion in Ins path was a
wagon belonging t 0 Messrs Grether
and Hall, which he scornfully seized
with his trunk, and raising it, he
smashed it to pieces ; then lie return
ed to the dead ft)life, and again plung
ed his tusks through it, and breaking
off bne of his tusks close to the jaw,
sauntered carelessly into State street,
with none to molest or to make him
afraid, the crowd following at a safe
j distance behind, while before and
about him everybody seemed to he
very busy in getting out of his way.
I he keeper and oilier attaches of the
menagerie soon rallied, and by strate
gy and good tai-.ti C9 be was induced
to enter a field belonging to Mr.
Camp, thence into an orchard, where
lie indulged in the pas-time of tear
ing and smashing whole lengths of
picket fence. Ihe novel method of
sutsluing him, temporarily, by shoot
ing him in the face and trunk wi it
buckshot, was adopted. Some fifty
heavy* charges Were fired at him ; the
stinging effect acted well as a slight
cheek upon his operation, during
w-hieh his keeper fearlessly approach
ed and chained him to an apple tree
aboHt twelve inches in diameter,
which was no sooner discovered by
the enraged animal than he instantly
and without app a eut effort, but
with the great' st ease, tore it up by
j lb® roots, and again created the
. greatest consternation among the
| immense orowd who had now col
i looted in the immediate vicinity. • All
went, and stood r.ot on the order of
i S°'ng, but some tall running was
. done, and some laughable incidents
occurred in the stampede, leavii g the
ground free to .\J .gul and his would

He was, by great daring and agility

secured by chaning his bind feet to a
very large tree. Here he was left for
the night, and a guard stationed
with rifles loaded with ball, to kill
him should he again break loose dur

much chagrined a t It is confinement,
and continued to snort and struggle
to break his chain, affording much
excitement throughout the city dur

end es two hours, thrown dawn and
secured in that position, when simul
taneously his beating begun, bv a
dozen stong men with clubs, iron
bars, spears and pitchforks, and con
fined until the men were exhausted,
and was again renewed from time
to time, for about two hours; at
which time after many* wounds and
pounding enough to seemingly kill
him, he was as obstinate as ever.
Refusing to surrender, lie was left to
his own reflections in this condition,
and tlio beating abated for a time. At

A Novel Invention.
There is to he exhilfted at the
State fair, in Macon next week,
a combination of wood, wire and In
dia rubber—a machine—which can
take in any language; say anything;
pronounce distinctly; laugh, cry, hiss,
shriek, squall, sing divinely in alto,
soprano and basso; in short, anything
of which the human voice is capable.
This extraordinary result of ingenuity
and preseveranoe consists of a fancy
gilded table, benath which is a foot
lever for moving a hallows above. On
top are a combination of wires,
strings, delicati wooden lever, rubber
tubes, and trestle-work forming the
speaking machine. Behind is a bel
lows, which represents the lungs.
The air is forced through a narrow
aperture iuto a tube representing the
wind-pipe, end thence into a large
swelling representing the glottis
Thence it passes out through avent
representing the human mouth, ftitb
movable lower jaw, lips and tongue

push up the jaw and tongue, in imita
tion of the human mouth aud tonooie.
giving expression to the sound of the
rushing air. These wires, and others
which act instead of the teeth, are
worked by wooden levers, at the end
of which are keys.
There were fourteen levers and wires,
each creating a different sound when
manipulated,and certain combinations
ot these sounds produce any sound
or syllable asked for. A separate le
ver makes a laughing sound. Skillful
manipulation of all these levers causes
ths artificial mouth to speak as well
a 3 lhat of a human being, except that
there is no inflection, and the sound
of the final d or t is impel feet, being
pronounced like tli. The principle is
a sort of inverse stenography, coin hi n
ii g the component sound of syllables
iuto perfect words. A small box, fur
nished with piano keys and filled with
wire and wooden slate, produces the
singing in combination with a mask
made in imitation of the human face
and its organs of speech. The testi
mony of parties who have seen the ma
chine is that there is no humbug about
it. It is the duly one ever perfected.
There have been others invented at
different peri oris, but their articu
lation has been confine 1 to a few sen
tences. This can -ulate am thing.
