The Mswkrrr llintiorl*! TrIU of n Deg Thnl
Wrnl •Sunil l.wwl lllmnt-11.
On the Western farm where much of
tlio summer time of my lifo was paused
wo had a dog. There being two or three
boys on tho farm, we hail seven or ei^ht
dogs, ns n matter of fact, but thcra was
one particular dog, with whoso tail I
desire to point a moral. Ho was a hun
ter. Morning after morning, summer
and winter, ho wont forth to hunt. Night
after night ho came Iwk home, his
hair full of burs, bis feet oovered with
stono-brnisos, and his ears pendent with
wood-ticks. For seven long years that
dog lived on the farm. He gnawed not
tho bone of idleness, neither was he wise
in tlio conoeit of the sluggard, hconuse
in ail those sevon yearn he hunted all tho
time, seven ilnyn a week. But, nlas 1
like the slothful, he "roosted not that
lie took in hunting" (Prov, xii„ 27). Be-
ennso he never fonnd auything. Not one
single, lone, solitary, lost thing did ho
And in all those seven yonrs’ hunting.
Never fonnd s thing. But we kept him,
because wo lieliovcd, indeed wo knew,
tlint tlio dog’s intentions wero good. Ho
meant well. Every morning ns lie went
forth, happy and confident, he hoped to
find something and bring it homo witii
him joyous and triumphant. But never
did. And at last, ono keen, clear,
bracing Novomber day, ho went down
in the ferny glens and lost himself. We
never heard that ho died; nolwdy ever
snw him or heard anything of him
ngnin; his bark came back no morn; ho
was just lost; ho had wrapped tho
drapery of tho unknowable about him
and joined the innumerable caravan of
intangible tilings he hod been hunting
(or years. The moral of this passage is
self-evident. Thorn nre men, even in
your own oirolo of noqnniutnnoo, who
Imut all their lives and never find any
thing. They take the Congressional
Record for its jokes and rood the Nation
for political inatriiotion. He goea to tho
minstrel show for nmnsement and roads
tho Washington papers for news. Ho
goes to a summer boarding-house to get
cool and takes a vacation that ho may
rest, He goes to the country for cream
and fresh eggs and keeps n horse to
save street-ear fare. In nil this he doetii
foolishly. He hunts well enough hut
not wisely. You must know, my boy,
before yon go hunting, whore to hunt
for what you waut. You might go deer
stalking all over Coney Island for twenty
years and never bring home a pair of
branching antlors to hang in tho ances
tral halls of the flat in whioh you live.

The Trade Dollar and Its History.
Of the trade dollars authorized by th«
act of February 12, 1873, and made a
legal tender to tho same extent os other
silver coins, there wero coined up to
July, 187(1, $15,631,000, of whioh $12,-
200,108 had lmon exported for "trade”
purposes in Chinn and Japan, leaving
$3,361,802 in circulation In tho United
Blabs. When first coined the 420
grains of stiver In the trade dollar wero
worth 102.5 cents in gold and 118,6
cents in currency, the gold Value of a
dollar note at that time tieing bnt 86.4
cents. By 1876, when Congress took
nwny from this coin tho legal-tender
quality—which it was said tlio framers of
the act of 1873 never intended
to givo it — tho value of silver
bullion bail so declined that the
trade dollar was worth but 81.8
cents. Tho qnautity of silver in the
standard silver dollar being bnt 412)
grains, ita value was proportionately
less. After the trade dollar ceased to be
a legal tender $20,540,610 more wero
coined. When, In 1878, its coinage was
stopped, tlio total amonnt issued was
$35,659,360. Of this amount it is esti
mated that from $7,000,000 to $8 000,000
remain in the United Btates. Up to
July 1, 1883, tho trado dollar would
bring in Now York York 69 cents, bnt a
concerted movement being then made
against them, their value fell to 86
cents, and they pasaed out of cireula-
| tion. Their popularity had not boon cn-
I hancod by the fact that they lmd been
| bought nt a discount by manufacturers
nud mine-owners in Pennsylvania and
elsewhere to pay ont at their face value
to their employees, so that tho agree
ment of tho - New produce dealers
to decline after a certain date to take the
trade dollnr, was welcomed all over the
country ns n signal to pnt an end to nn
odious practice. The bill which hns
jnst passed the House authorizing the
exchange by the Treasury of standard
dollars for trade dollars, dollar for dol
lar, will have, of course, if it beonmea a
law, the effect of raising the valne of
the trado dollar to par. As bullion it
was worth during the past year from 86
to 87) cents. The Uiial passage of tho

Frenchman from Horeb Falls was iu

English Servants.
Arriving home rather late n few nights
Imok I was aooosted by a policeman who
was hanging about outside my gate.
"Beg pardon, sir; bnt are yon aware of
tbe goingB-on of your servants?” . "No;
what do yon mean?” I said rather
sharply. "Well, sir, it’s just this; there
ain’t one on ’em about the place.” "Oh,
nonsense,” I said. "Why they’ve all
been in bed and asleep these two
hours.”
"Exouse me, sir, bnt if you’ll follow
me I’ll soon convince you that you
havn’t a servant in your house.” Boe
ing that the man was serious, I followod
him to a certain dancing saloon not very
far away. I had little difficulty in gain
ing admittance, and there, sure enough,
wero cook, housemaid and nnrse disport
ing themselves in the mazy valse. The
nurse was the first one to "spot” me,
and I at once began to demonstrate with
her for neglecting her speoial charge—a
child in arms. Imagine my horror
when, in self-defence, she produced tho
pride of the family from a onpboard in

Tlic Helen Jewett Tragedy.
Capt. Veal, n Texas pioneer, pays a
nowspnper correspondent, wns a near
neighbor ot 11 ic hard Furmolee Robin
son, a young mnu of high family, who
left New York a fugitive under suspicion
of being tlic murderer of Helen Jewett.
The tragedy had certain elements of
mystery which made it a great sensa
tion. In Texas Robinson wns known
only|ns Richard Purmclee. Ho kept a
livery stable for many years, and his | tlio corner, where she hnd carefully
stowed it away, so that the enjoyment of
tho dance, might not be interfered with.

connection with the crime wns n secret
known to but very few people. In his
cscaiie and flight from New York, Rob
inson wns assisted by a friend named
Wadsworth, who afterward visited
Texas, where Capt. Veal met him and
talked over the Jewett case.
“In your conversation was there over
my question raised as to whether Robin
son really killed the woman ?” the -corre
spondent asked,
"None whatever,” replied Capt. Veal.
"When we talked about the tragedy il
wos always upon the understanding thai
he was the one who did it. Farmelco,
as we always called him, led a quiet, re
spectable life, nud very few know he wns
Richard Robinson. I recollect when 1
first met Wadsworth lie wouldn’t admit
that he knew Parmclec by any other i .. -,
name, but when I hnd convinced him \ P a ' n llHUftl J re 10V ' _
that through my family connections in j
New York I was intimately acquainted !
with Robinson’s antecedents, hp be
