The Difficulty ahwatt that Dog.
liY JOHN QUILL.
This was the cause of all the trouble:
LOST—On the 10'h inst., a small
Terrier Dog, with a brass collar upon
bis neck, and the tip of bis tail gone.
Answers to the name of “Jack.” Five
dollars reward will bo gived to the per
son who returns him to JOHN QUILL,
No. 84, Rickety How.
1 inserted the above in the Daily
Flipftap, in the hope that 1 might recov
er the animal, to which I was attached.
The Flipflap goes to press at 5 a. m.
At halt past six I was awakened by a
pull at my door bell. 1 got out and
opened the window. As 1 looked out I
saw a man standing in the front yard
with a mongrel dog, tied to a rope - He
gaz -d up aud observed :
“llel|o ! are you tho fellow who lost
a doig X"
“Yes, I am.”
“ VY r eil, then, I’ve fetched him,”caid
the man.
1 iben oxplained to this wretched hu
man being that my dog was a terrier,
while his looked more like a dog of
wood with half tbc bark off aud propped
up ou four sticks, than a dog of any
kind.
“Well, ain’t you a going 'to take
him ?"
“I wouldn’t have him as a gift. And
I want you to move off now, or l’lt
call the k polioe.”
“Nuw, i guess you think you are
smart, don’t you ? I’d bust you ovei
the jaw for live cent-, I would, kou
don't know a good durg when you see
him, you don’t,” aud he went out, after
ripping the pailiugs off the fence.
In about a hall hour there was anoth
er riDg at tho bell. 1 went down.—
Xkero was a man with six dogs of a va
lietv of breedjj,
“VVh-wbioh of ’cm’s him, bsb-boss,”
said Ibis fellow, for ho stuttered as it
he would strangle on a small sylable.
“Nii her of them.”
“Y-you said his n-na Dame was J-
Jack, if didn’t you V*
“Yes, that's it*’*
“\\-well, then, wh-wh-what de you
call that I” says he, as he suDg out
“Jack,’ and the whole six dogs looked
upend waggod their tails like a lot of
spavined oxcuiu fly time.
* “Why, I call it confounded nonsense
to expect me to take the whole six dog 6
becauso they're named Jack. 1 dou t
want to start a sausage mill, you unde,
stand. Mmco meet isn’t in my line.”
“W-w-w-well, ain’t you going to take
him ?”
“Certainly net, do you snrvpndo T am
a gibbering idiot !”
“ W-w-weli, ycu sh shant have him
now it you want him. I w-w.wouldn’t
trust a decent d-dog with a m-m-man
like you anyway.”
And the six canines fe'.l into line and
troitep down the rtreet af.er him.
I bad not got luirly into the house
belore there was another ring. Seedy
looking wi;h a semi-decayed yellow dog.
His riL-s stuck out so that he look as if
Be had gorged himself with a spiral
spring.
•‘leu advertised for a dog, I believe
Well, I caught biiu around aero in the
ally, alter a desperate struggle. Fine
dog, sir.”
•'■Well, I don’t think he is. He looks
to Die il he wasn’t well. He is too
elherial foi this world, young mao, dc
peud upon it."
l Oh not at all, sir. Oaly sheding
his coat, sir ; all gooi dogs do it this
time of year. See that, sir," sad this
seedy Caucasian, holding the dog by
the cufff the n< ot Bee to«be y lpsv
that’s a sign of pluck ; that dog wouiu
tight a minim wild cats, he would, and
l.ck ’em too, sir.’
“Git out! ’1 exclaimed and the dog
put his tail between his legs and ran
lor the gate.
“See that, sir ? Bee that,” a .id the
man, as he t>e:z-id him, “that’s a sign
he’s woll trained ; no raw dog b'ebavev
like that, I want you to know. Now
s,p 'Be you fork ovtr that five."
•‘Not much ! 1 don’t wai t him my
ft i lid.”
“You won’t do it? Well tbeo, take
Lina Lrscv n j-fivc cents, and say uo
more about it. lie’s a valuable annual
Y’uu’ll never get auothersuoh a cliauoe.’
“I tell you I wont have him.,’
“Well don’t then,” said the man as
he kicked the auitnal over on my flower
pots and broke three oi (hem, while (he
brute dashed madly down the middle
of the street.
Just then a big ruffian in a slouch
hat catne Up with a bull-dog, sprung in
the knees, and lamenting tho entire 10-s
of his tail. When the ruffian spoke to
hitu ho waggad tho whole of tbo last
half of him.
‘‘l’ve brought tba.*, there dog,” was
the observation made by tho ruffian,
and I’ll fiinger them thifo stamps, I
reckon.”
“My friend,” says I, “that is not my
dog.”
‘•Yes, it is, though.”
“Hut it is not.”
“Dju’t I tell you it is? Didn’t you
say the tip of his tail was gone 't Well
just look at him, will you ?”
“Well, I won’t have him, anvh tw !’
“You want to cheat me, do you ? I’ll
fix you. S-sick him, bull !” said the
outrageous ruffian, as the dbg flew at
me, giviug me barely time to get iunde
and shut tho door on his frontispiece.
I guess I sqneeZid the nose off of that
dog. Hut the man cursed me for about
five minutes, and then flung a brick at
my door and wont away.
In less than twenty minutes another
ring: Bmall pock-marked man in red
shirt, this timo. Had a speckled that
looked as if be had been out without an
umbrel a when it was raining ink. B»ys
this victim of the small pox :
“You know that dog you advertised
for ?” Well, here he is.”
j ‘ 0 pshaw,” said I “you know that
tflD’t my dog.”
j “Your name’s Qiill, ain’t it ?”
| “It is,” said I.
1 “ Well, then, this here is the dbg
He is the best ratter you ever seen.—
Blings them around like he was amus
ing hisself, he does, and—”
“But he is not my dog.”
“An 1 he is a bully watch dog. Laok
at him 1 Look at him now—he’s watch
iDg new l Why he will sit there and
watch and watoh uutil he goes stone
i blind, he will. He watch all night if
lyou only let him. I’ll just chain him
' up while you go in and got the V ”
| “No you needn’t,” said I. “I’ll blow
his Drains out if you don't take him
away.”
“Well, say, stranger, I’m a little
strapped to-day ; jugt lend mo five on
him this morniog, will you? I’ll pay
you to morrow.”
“See here, now, you just git out of
here, or I’ll take the bide off of you,” t
said, for I began to get exoited, you
know.
“Aw ! you ain’t worth a oent, you ac
tually ain’t,” said the pock-marked
man as he walked off, after clipping the
dog over the head with one of my nice
palling o , and then putting his lingers up
to his nose.
Not a minute after up comes a man
with a mastiff as big as a small horse.
“Say, boss, want that five,” was all
he remarked, by way of introducing tho
subject.
“Well,you cant gru it, and if you
don’t leave I’ll call the police,” I ex
claimed in do-pair.
“Watch him Zip !” said the man,in
stancy, and tho dog flew at me, throw
mo down, and bit a slice of muscle out
of my leg, and di-figured my nose for
life. Tneu the assassin whs owned
him oalled him off and went away laugh
ing.
I didn’t answer any more tings that
about four o’clock in me af
ternoon I looked out of the second story
window, and the yard was full of men
with all kinds of dogs. Black dog,»,
white dogs, yellow dogs, variegated dogs,
flea bitten dogs, deg 6 with ta 1, dogs
without tails, rat tamers, bull pups, poo
dles, fox hounds, spaniels, Newt.und
lands, mixed breeds, pointers, setters,
and a multitude of other varieties, alt
growling, yelping, barking, snapping
aud jumping about, until there wasn't a
flower pot left in the plac6, at,d the
noise was worse than a menagorie at
meal time.
1 havu’t got my dog yet. I don’t
want him eitner. I don’t care if I nev
er see another dog between this and
the silent grave. I only wish that all
the dogs from here to .Russian America
were collected into a convention, and
Dad hold of that man with the mastiff,
ihai they might kuaw on him until he
had not a morsel of meat left on bis
skeleton. That is all I waDt in the dog
line in this world.
Going Rack for Reform.
Tbtr; has been something of surprise
created among the Hxdicais of New
Hampshire at the discovery of a law for
the puaishuient of “profanity and other
vices.” It appears from tho statistics
giveD, that there has been a steady
growth of profanity, and other kindred
vices, in the Bta’e of New Hampshire,
during the past eight years. Ot late it
has becomo so fearful.y prevalent, evt n
among a large number ot Radical cLu-ch
members, who had anticipations of office
whioh have not, of oour»e,becn gratified,
that the more rcspectablo citizens of the
various towns have held meetings with
a view to petitioning the Legislature for
a law by which the growing e7i!s might
at least be cut bca. Before apjliomon
had been made, however, it was ascer-
tained that there was no hope of sococs
! for the reason that the Radical members
t tereof wero (r jncunced the most advan
ced and confirmed publicly known oases
in the State. Respectability was in a
quandary, until an antiquarian of Con
cord discovered among (ho statutes a
law passed by tbs ruling Democracy of
that d»y, designed for the correction of
circus riders acd ether profane stran
gers who occasionally visited that re
gion, and, when drunk, gave offense to
decency, in accordance with this law,
a prominent liadical, just returned from
an un uceessful trip to tho National
Capital, was brought up and “fined”
for “damning" his neighbor. The dis
covery has given joy to decency and
disagreeable suprise to advanced fixdi
callism. The law, although as we have
said, had been forgotten, for the reason
that, under dominant Democracy, there
had never been occasion for its applica
tion to any native there.— Pomeroy's

Pea*.
Editor Journal iL Messenger : I no-'
lice that since tho war very few far
mers grow peas. Why is this ? Have
they lostßeed? Have they forgotten
that a good pea field furnishes fine
grazing in tho full for stock? We aio
neglecting an important interest. The'
peactop is valuable in many respects,,
aod is one of the cheapest crops raised.
1 ho fanner needs pea fields to fatten
his h. or Has and rnu/es in the I*ll, and it
puya well to raise them for that pur
pose, even if we have no hogs or cows.
But the great value of tho pea crop i»
not ao much in its fertilizing effects
upon our worn and exhausted soil. A
heavy crop of cow pea vinos grsatly
benefit the land, by furnishing it vege
table mould, which our exhausted 6oil
mostly Deeds. The whole catalogue of
guano, ph ephates, etc., about whieh
our farmers are now so much excited,
will fail to keep up our luuds without
a due supply of vegetable mould.—
This is furnished in abundance by the
pea crop.
Plant peas on every acre of your
land, whether you gather a bushel or
graze a hog, cow, or mule. Let them
lie and rot, and turn them under in the
spring. The succeeding crop of what
ever kind will report good interest.
Plant peas to restore exhausted soil.
Plant peas to enticb your land and
assist in keeping it rich.
Method or Planting. —Mr. Dick
son says : “After the second plowing
of com, run a shovel lurrow to the
middle of a corn row ; drop one bush
el of peas to every eight acres—say
six to eight peas to a hill—and cover
with a barrow.”
I suggest the following amendment
to Mr Dicksnn’a plan: Alter 6iding
the corn, run a shovel furrow in the
middle, and drop the peas. The two
remaining furrows to split out the
middles, when plowing the corn with
eweeps, will cover the peas nicely
without the additional barrow. This
saves labor which is the great desider
atum in this age of farming. The crop
ol peas will only cost you one furrow
to the row; and the ultimate per cent
ago in the way ol ben fit to the land
will bo incalculable. Try this plan.

Special attention is invited to the fol
lowing article from tho Louisville Cou .
tier Journal :
It has been for many years a fixed
belief among practical men, that tbe
success of sorghum as a producer of su
gar would revolutionize the entire sugar
interest of the West Indies and tbe
Southern S a'es.
About a year ago a company was es-»
tahlish'd iu Keutneky, la.log for its
objeot a thorough manufacture of sugar
from tie Chinese cane. This compa
ny made its hoadqnaiters at Louisville,
ad work in a quiet and busi
ngs like way. Its experiment is now
an undoubted success. About eight
miles out of tvwn, on the ylantation of
Mr. John 11. Seebolt, supax of the very
finest de crip’ion is being made out of
siighum in l»rgi quantises. All tbo
origin i 1 and ULuities Lave been van
q used. Not an ob.'-ttcle'remains in the
way of tbe ci t rprise. It is a complatrf
success.
N) rna cen investigate the matter
wi bouUccming away with a strong im
press:oa on bis mind that the threat
en and r volution is in rapid progress of
lu li mont This sugar is no way infe
rior to the b st Wett India sugar.
It would be tedious and perhaps im
possible to make plain to the mind of
the re dir the details of tbe process of
mat u icture. It is simple, and thema
chtn ry, as we learo, i no expensive;
bat it is necessarily full t f tecl ntcalilies
which would require tbe aid of illus r»-
tioas to be described. Saffiac it to say
fiat the tram f.ictureis iu atual progress,
and that there is uo reasonable doubt
that it wi’l become a leading article of
rxpori Irom this market before the end
ot tbe present year.
