THE STORY OF A DOG’S LIFE.
Hov.* Jill’s Heroism waa Roquietod at
the Do.j Pound In Now York.
From the .W to York Evening Sun.
A dos fancier stood on corner of
Thirtv-first street and Broadway with a
v mug tlog under his arm. The fancier held
t!:e (log out toward the passers-bj* and so
licited them in t!ie following manner:
“‘Ere’* yerfiuo.Saint Bernard, miss. One
c - them'ere dogs wot drags ]>eon!e out o' th’
Alpine snow storms, slings 'em over their
Licks and carries 'em fewer European
miles. Take a look hat ’is beamin' eve.
miss. Oh. ye needn't be afraid. ’E won’t
Lite ye; will ye, Jill?’' said the fancier, put
ting his thumb in the dog's mouth, who
chewed on the horny digit with an assumed
growl..
Jill was fat and jolly. He was plump as
u pear and lmd just entered that i*riod of
bis existence as a puppy which intervenes
between mother’s milk and prepared dog
cakes. He was as attractive as a darky
baby, and almost as helpless. There was all
axpealiug look in his big brown eye which
caused ]>exn>le to stop and caress linn. This
was particularly the case with the Broad
way lielles, who smoothed his shaggy coat
and held his cold nose against their cheeks
with exclamations of:
•Oh. you cunning little fellow! What
soft ears he has! How old is he!"
These incidents usually ended with the
young ladies asking the price of the dog,
anil the answer, ‘’Five dollars, ma'am; 1
wouldn’t take a cent less.” und the return to
tiie fancier of the dog with a sigh. Many
times did the girls turn back as they saun
tered aw ay, as though sorry to part with
the dog.
9 -Business is poor to-day,” muttered the
fancier to himself as he took a bottle of milk
from his pocket and poured its contents into
a shallow tin pan. The dog was industri
ously lapping up the milk, thrusting his red
tongue in and out of his mouth and occa
sionally-dropping his nozzle into the pan up
to his eyes, when a lady passed by, leading
u little iriri by the hand. The pair stopped
to look at the dog.
“Ye’d better buy one fer yer little gal.
ma'am. Thev’m the kind as saves people’s
lives, an’ they grow* t,' be as big as a calf.
Jist as harmless ns rabbits, ma’am. An’,
seein’ as yer little darter wants one of
e’m so lmd, I’ll let ye hav’ ’im fur four an' a
! alf.”
“Oh, do, please, nia,”said the child, whose
arms fairly ached to make a cradle for the
dog.
A minute later Jill was blinking sleepily
in the arms of the little girl mid a $5 bill
nestled in the pocket of the fancier. The
child expressed a fear that Jill might take
cold, although the day was very warm, and
so she wrapped him in a scented, laoe, em
broidered handkerchief. As they rode home
ward in a Broadway car Jill fell asleep in
the child's lap, and she talked in whispers
to her mother for fear of waking him. Jill
had fallen into a very pleasant place. He
was duly presented to papa when he came
home that night, and after a game of bail
with the child he was put to bed in a little
wicker cradle, and the flaxen-haired doll had
to put np with a shakedown on the floor.
The next day a red ribbon was placed
around his neck. As the weeks rolled by he
began to lose some of his rotundity and the
wicker cradle became too small for him.
But his loss of ingenuousness was compen
sated for by his increased intelligence. He
would sit up in the corner, talk for a piece
of meat, fetch slippers and do many other
wonderful things. But the time for the
summer exodus came. In spite of the
child's protests, Jill was left at home when
the family went to Newport Deprived of
his mistress’ care, Jill feil into bad habits
He contracted a fellowship with the dog
next door and was often shut out when the
servants locked the doors for the night. One
rainy evening when Jill was whining at the
basement door a sneak thief came by and
threw a net over his head. The ribbon was
torn from his neck and he was sold for ?! 50
to a South street saloonkeeper who wanted
a watchdog. Jill was tied in a hack room
of the saloon until he had partially forgot
ten his old friends and then released. He
received very kind treatment at the hands
of his new owner and he grew very fast,
fed. as he was, on the bologna sausage, the
cornel beef, and other delicacies from the
lunch counter, he even promised shortly to
fulfill the prophecy of the fancier that he
would become as "big as a calf.” And with
increased stature and age there came to Jill
a perception, born of his heredity, of the
.dignities of life. The curs that barked at
his heels lie only glanced at compassionate
ly. and he was intrusted with such delicate
errands as going to the butcher’s after
meat. Ohe day when Mrs. Sheehan's girl
baby had wandered across the road and was
in imminent danger of falling off the dock.
Jill quietly trotted to her, seized her dress
with his great mouth and carried her hack
to the sidewalk. Then when the baby tried
to get back to the dock again. Jill kept his
body between the. child and the road despite
the fact that the child pulled at his shaggy
coat and called him “Naughty dog.”
But there came a time when the saloon
keeper became financially embarrassed. Ho
couldn’t meet his rent, and creditors pressed
him hard. And so, when Capt. O'Neil of the
coasting schooner Mary Jane, offered him
SIOO for the dog, the saloonkeeper, with
tears in his eyes, took the money, only
making the Captain promise that whenever
he came to this port he would bring Jill
ashore to visit his old friends. There were
many wet eyes the day Capt. O'Neil sailed.
Mrs. Sheehan's baby took her last ride on
Jill's back in the morning, and at 2 o’clock
the schooner's lines were loosest. Jill had
lieen tied to the mainmast, and his strug
gles and howls were watched and listened
to with painful solicitude from the dock as
the vessel swung out into the stream.
But Jill soon made new friends. He was
fed by the cook, coddled in the forecastle,
and loved in the cabin. The Captain's soil
John and the dog formed a strong attach
ment for each other. They became insepar
able. When Jolui went aloft Jill sat on the
deck and watched him greedily until he
came down. Wherever John went Jill went
with him. even if he had to jump-into the
sea and swim. Oho afternoon, off Hatteras,
wlien the sea horses wore white manes and
leaped like wolves at the schooner. John
fell overboard from the masthead. He
drifted rapidly astern, now thrown on the
crest of a wave—dandled in the arms of the
ocean. Jill was asleep in the cabin, hut the
Captain’s shrill whistle brought him out.
He bounded on the deck aletr and watchful,
and ran astern, where the Captain stood
helping lower the boat.
“There lie is, Jill ” said the Captain,
pointing his shaking finger at a speck in
the foam 300 yards astern. “Fetch him.”
So eagerly did the dog respond that he
fell iijxm his back into the yeast. John was
a stout swimmer, hut no human arm could
have fought off death long in those churn
ing abysses. He was beginning tb lose heart
and strength when, rushing down a watery
hillside came the dog. The dog would have
sci 'ed him, but John managed to place his
left hand on the animal's hack, and so,
swimming together, they were plucked from
the ocean by theboat. John was ill for
throe days, and during all that time Jill
never left the cabin, and his food was car
ried to him by the cook on a plate.
If Jill had been admired lx'fore, ho was
idolized now, and when a block fell from
aloft one day and struck Jill in the back the
Captain and his son were iri.-onsfliable.
After many weeks of suffering the dog was
restored to partial health, but he was sadly
marred and broken. The block had injured
his spine and had left n:i ugly wound upon
which the hair refund to grew. When tbe
schooner ran up to the pier at South street
one dnr, Jill’s bock wawtoo weak to permit
Mrs. Sheehan's baby to ride upon it.
While the schooner was in port the Cap
tain's son made frequent excursions ashore,
and during one of these trips in a crowd on
the Bowery the dog became separated from
his master They sought each other vainly
for an hour; then John went down to the
vessel te get his father's help in finding the
dog. The whole crew was sent ashore anil
a reward of *25 offered to the man who
should find the dog. In the meantime, Jill
had found his master’s trail and was follow
up it up when the oog catchers’ wagon
came in sight. Poor Jill was captured after
a desperate struggle aud put in the pen at
the dog pound. It was decided by the pound
master that as the dog was injured he
wouldn't fetch a good price, and the next
morning, in company with ten more unfor
tunates, he was lowered into the water in
an iron cage. A few bubbles rose to the
surface, and when the dead animals were
dumped out upon the dock the light in Jill's
glorious eves had been quenched.
Half an hour later a bronzed sailor ran
into the pound panting for breath.
“Where’s my-my-dog?” he gasped.
“What kina of a dog was he, sir?” was
the reply.
“A big black St. Bernard, with a deep
scar iu hir, back,” and the Captain stood
with heaving- chest and dilated eyes waiting
for the reply.
“I'm sorry sir, but we drowned a dog of
that description less than half op hour ago.
If we hud known—”
“Drowned him! Drowned Jill!”
The Captain's face twitched convulsively
and his eyelids did double duty. The, rage
•supervened.
“May the curse of an honest man rest
upon every one who had a hand in this dirty
work.
He raised his fist, browned and hardened
by wind and water, and would have driven
the poundmastor through the side of the
building, but his friends restrianed him. The
sailors took away the body of Jill in an un
dertaker's wagon. He was embalmed, and
now lie sleeps well beneath the daisies in a
Connecticut village. A marble monument
stands over the dog’s grave, which Deal's
this inscription:
Here lies
JILL,
Who saved the life of
JOHN* O'NEIL,
Off Hatteras.
He was murdered at the New York
dog pound for 40 cents.
POISON IN HER TEA.
A. Prima Donna’s Adventure in a
Queer Establishment.
“When I first went to Europe.”said Mme.
Nevada to a New York Mail correspondent
the other day, “I studied for three years in
Vienna, and for the first few months I
boarded with a woman who took advantage
of my inexperience to impose on me in every
way possible; in fact I paid a very high price
and was almost starved. As I tnink
of that place now, it makes me shud
der. The mother was a perfect old
hag, who went abont the house in a
ragged old petticoat, with her black
hair tumbling down over her face and
shoulders in an untidy mass, and a pair of
little rat’s eyes peeping out at you from
among the yellow wrinkles. Really, the
things that used to take place in that family
are incredible. There were two grown up
daughters, aud I would sometimes enter the
parlor and find one of them sitting quietly
under the piano, doing nothing, apparently,
and often 1 would be awakened at night by
strange sounds, screams, men's voices,
threats and oaths I was only 13 yeai-s old
at the time, and was too timid or unsus
picious to say anything about this, but the
worst thing of all was the food which they
gave me. There was only one kind of meat,
and that I had never been able to en . It
was pork. I was 'ashamed to complain, but
would cover the piece on my plate with po
tatoes or bread and leave the table
almost famished. This went on for some
weeks, until finally I became so [Mile and
weak that my teacher noticed the change
and asked me about it I told him how it
was, and he said that I must go home at
once and order some proper food. Well, at
last I f crewed up my courage, and one day
I said to the servant that I had to sing at a
concert that night, and wished her to cook
me a lieefstoak and bring it to my room!
!io old woman hap<ieued to be out at the
time, so I succeeded in getting the steak,
and 1 assure you I ate it ravenously. Then
I started off for the concert, congratulating
myself on having managed the thing so
well. However, I had no sooner en
tered the house than the old woman
came hobbling up to me. seized me
by the arm, forced me into a corner and
commenced abusing and insulting me in the
most abominable way. I was so terrified
that I forgot my timidity and managed in
some way to tear myself from her, and to
rush to my room, where I bolted the door,
and then sank down on the floor in hyster
ics. Finally I grew calmer, and began to
think out what 1 had better do. It was
already past midnight, but I commenced
packing up my things at once, resolved to
leave tlie house at daybreak. At about 5
o’clock in the morning, I feel asleep from
sheer exhaustion, and I dreamed that I
saw the old hug standing by the stove in the
kitchen making some tea I followed each
one of her movements, and at last saw her
fill a cup from the tea-pot and carry this in
her hand to the cupboard. There she reached
up to a high shelf and took down a bottle
marked ‘poison.’ from which she poured a
few drops into the cup. Then she put the
bottle away carefully and came up stairs to
my room carrying the tea and knocked at
the door.
“At this point, I awoke with an awful
fl ight, and at once looked at my clock; it
was just t> and the day was breaking. I
arose, bathed my face and was about to re
sume my packing, wfien there came a
knock at my door. I asked who was there,
and a high, piercing voice, which I recog
nized onlv too well, replied: ‘lt is I, my
dear. I have brought you a cup of tea;
open the door.’ It is needless to say that I
did not do it. She continued knocking, and
begged me to let her in, but, of course, I
refused. Then she threatened me, and
poured forth the foulest language I have
ever heard, and at last she came back to
persuasion, saving, and I can never forget
her words. 'I am here on mv knees like a
dog, and I implore you only to taste this
tea which I have for you.’
“You can imagine what a state I was in
by this time. I was perfectly desperate,
and after waiting for two or three hours
listening and hardly daring to breathe, I
cautiously opened my door and made a rush
for the street. There were three flights of
staire to descend, and at the bottom of the
second one 1 met the old woman, glaring at
me like a fiend. I don’t know how I ever
<ii<l it. but in some way I was given the
strength to pash her out of my way, and I
escaped, leaving her stretched at, full length
on the floor."
“And what happened after that?” I asked.
“Oh. I simply got an officer to go there
and carry off my things. Of course I had
no interest in putting the woman in a prison
or anything of that sort; but don’t you call
that a case of supernatural warning ?”
FLESH TO ASHES.
Mrs. Spangenberg Cremated in an
Hour and a Half.
From tlie Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Cincinnati Crematory is a success. A
baby, a thin man, a heavy man. a distant
relativo of one of the Presidents of the
United States, und now a woman, have all
successfully entered the retort as corpses,
and, after a period of time ranging from
one hour to two hours, have emerged ns
ashes —white, pure, refined ashes--so thin
that the least breath of wind would scatter
them to the four winds of heaven, and yet
so compact that they could be carried in a
watch-locket or tiny urn.
MRS. SPANOEXBERO.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Spangenberg,
of Camp Washington, a lady or HO years of
age, the wife of a saddler, a oeliever in cre
mation, the mother of seven loving children
and the grandmother of four, was cremated
at 3:'ti o’clock.
Tli* day wai a lieautiful one. The burn
ing ravsof tbs sun, evenly distributed by a
gentle breeze, were neither srorehmg nor
unpleasant. A larger crowd was in attend
ance than ever before, and they were most
ly ladies. They expressed the greatest in
terest in tbs prociedings, walked all around
the unroofed building, and were all in time
admitted into the basement to peer through
the thin isinglass doors of the retort at the
curling iumoi that wrapped the corpse.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1887.
Children, eager to see, clflnbed up into the
window* and tritd to view the mysterious
Croc.ss, so different from the ordinary
urial.
THE EXERCISES.
Upon the arrival of the funeral cortege,
at 3 o’clock, the pall-beaaers quietly carried
the coffin into the cellar to the right ot the
retort.
The fires had been started at 10 o'clock
and the heat of the furnace was about
2,000' Fahrenheit. Removed from the
coffin the body was placed on a steel lad
der covered with a linen sheet saturated
with a solution of alum water.
Rev. John A. Vos, of the German Protes
tant church of Camp Washington, a fine
looking, portly gentleman, made a few re
marks in German, not touching upon the
subject of cremation, but saying that there
was now no occasion for sorrowing or
mourning: that the pains of the body, the
cares and troubles Of life were over and
suffering past; that the spirit of the good
woman liad gone to its Maker.
HOW THE CORPSE BURNED.
Then the huge iron doors of the retort
were opened and the ladder containing the
corpse slipped in. The oveu looked glowing
and hot, Sparks of fire flashed ever and
anon on the surface of the oven's floor. The
door shut with a bang, and the crowd filed
slowly out, their places only to be filled by
eager parties from the outside, until every
one had taken a look.
Flames red and blue and green now filled
the retort, and nothing else was visible. The
thin and dried flesh sizze l and sputtered
beneath the alum tinctured sheet. Then
the various gases of the Ixvly escaped, and
were eagerly caught up by the intense heat
and carried into the chimney and out into
the open ether. Hotter and Hotter gi ew the
heat. It was even painful to gaze in at the
fiery, glassy glow.
The engineer, with a red bandana hand
kerchief saturated with ice water on top of
his head, shoveled in the last of ten bushels
of coke, and at. 4 o'clock the relatives had
all gone and only a few stragglers remained.
The flames now assumed a pale yellowish
hue, and were steadily carried out of the
chimney. After an hour nothing could be
seen but the form of the deceased clad in a
vapory shroud of white. Then the sheet
seemed to pass away, aud nothing was seen
but a long pile of' thin ashes. There was
nothing to indicate that it had been a human
Dody, for the skull was flat. The arms and
laxly were till one pile of ashes lying on tbe
cross-bars of the ladder and down on the
floor of the retort. No more fuel was
added: no more was needed. The furnace
will cool, and early this morning the ashes
gathered up and given to the relatives.
THE SENTIMENT BEAUTIFUL.
Whatever there is of sentiment surely be
longs to cremation. Associated with the
passing away of mortality by incineration
there is nothing of that horrible idea of the
body being the prey an 4 food of worms and
maggots. There is no idea of imprison
ment down in the deep, cold earth. What
more beautiful idea of her deeasod husband
could the young and blooming widow en
tertain than that there on the mantel piece
or on the window-sill, where the warm rays
of the sun pour in, all collected in a hand
some porcelain or bronze vase, lay her
former and noble lord! When the
first agonlw of her grief were over, after
she had many a time and oft bedewed the
ashes with her tears, and time wore on.
she might plant flowers, beautiful
flowers, in the urn. and they would
soou come and remind her that there still
was life an ’ happiness, and something yet
to live for. They would be to her a pkenix
whose ashes an Egyptian sun warmed into
life, and as the flowers bloomed and bright
ened the color would come back to her pale
and haggard cheeks, and another lover
would come to citeer her widowed loneli
ness.
Cremations are not as solemn, not as
heartrending as funerals. They are more
economical, and, in a sanitary point of
view, better for the health of those that are
left behind.
Fully one thousand people witnessed the
cremation yesterday, and there was among
them all not a dissenting voice, but every
one said: “What a peaceful, nice way of dis
posing of the dead!”
An Old Maine Pedagogue.
From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
Henry H. Hobbs, of Norway, years ago
was a school teacher of note. He was very
successful, and always preferred to be the
“master” in districts where they were wont
to have trouble. His popularity arose as
much from his free use of tbe rod as from
his knowledge of the three Hr . He often
alludes with pride to the fact that he "was
never lugged out of the school house.” On
one occasion he was kicked just as he was
leaving the house at noon by a scholar
whom he had punished. He coolly said
nothing, but, getting his dinner, he
opened the school in the afternoon
as if nothing had happened. Ho saw
several of the larger boys exchange signifi
cant glances, and he at once ordered .some
lialf-aozen of thorn into the floor. Thinking
that they all combined were enough fol
ium, they obeyed. “Now,’says Hobbs, “I
do not know which one of you kicked me,
but I shall be sure to get the right one. for
I’am going to lick you all. I shall begin at
one end and go aU through the class. And
he is a mean, dirty fellow who will see
others whipped for anything ho alone is
guilty of. If there is any man to him he
will speak out. Step forward, sir!” This
was said to the boy nearest to him. As the
rod descended the guilty one spoke out.
“Master, I am the one.” “I thought so,”
was the reply. The others took took their
seats, and the offender was punished
