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 PAIN KILLER. fholer^Morbus fVajnps folic fji&rrhoe^ f^ummer Qomplaints IjYSenterY i/71l Cured bx a teaspoonful of Peir/DavisPain filler in a little DfiUcor Sugar and Water Au-Druggists Scu.ir.
