A Faithful Doc.???Some fifteen years since
a very singular and interesting occurrence
brought to light in the Burgh court, Edinboro,
??? by the hearing of a summons in regard to a
dag tax. Eight and a half years previously, it
seems a mau named Gray, of whom nothing
was known except that he was poor, and lived
1 n a quiet way in some obscure part of the
town, was buried in Old Grayfriars??? church
yard. His grave, leveled by the hand of time
and unmarked by any stone, is now scarcely
discernible; but although no human interest
would seem to attach to it, the sacred spot had
not been wholly disregarded and forgotteu.
During all these years the dead man???s faithful
dog had kept constant watch and guard over
the gravo; and it was this animal for which
the collectors sought to recover the tax.
James Brown, the old curator of the burial
ground, so the story goes, remembered Gray's
funeral, and the dog, a Scotch terrier, was, he
aaid, ono of the most conspicuous of the mourn
ers. The grave was closed in as usual, and
next morning ???Bobby," as the dog was called,
was found lying on the new made mound.
This was an innovation which old James could
not permit; for there wss an order at the gate
stating, in the most intelligible characters, that
dogs were not admitted. ???Bobby" was ac
cordingly driven out; but next morning he
was there again, and for the^econd time was
discharged. The third morning was cold and
wet; and when the old mau saw the faithful
animal, in spite of all chastisement, still lying
shivering on the grave, ho took pity on him,
and gave him some food.
This recognition of his devotion gave ???Bob
by??? the right to moke the churchyard his
home; ana from that time on he never spent a
night away from his master???s tomb. Often in
bad weather attempts were made to keep him
within doors, but by dismal howls he succeed
ed in making it known that this interference
was not agreeable to him, and latterly he wus
allowed his own way. At almost any time
during the day he might be seen in or about
the churchyard j and no matter how rough the
night was, nothing could induce him to forsake
the haliowod spot, whose identity, despite the
irresistible obliteration, he so faithfully pre
served.
Bobby had many friends, and the taxgather-
ors by no means proved to be his enemies. A
weekly treat of steaks was long allowed him
by Sergant Scott, of the engineers, and for
more than six years he was regularly fed by
Mr. Traill, of tho restaurant, 0 Grayfriars
place. He was constant and punctual in his
calls, being guided in his midday visits by the
sound of the thus gun. On the ground of la
boring the dog, proceedings were taken agaii.
Mr. Traill for payment of the tax. The do
fondant expressed his willingness, could lie
claim tho dog, to bo responsible for tho tax-
but so long as the dog refused to attach him
self to any one, it was impossible to fix the
ownership; and the court, seeing tho peculiar
circumstances of tho ense, dismissed the sum
mons.
Bobby was long an object of curiosity to all
who had becomo acquainted with his history.
His constant appearance in the graveyard had
caused many inquiries to be made regarding
him, and efforts without number were made to
get possession of him. The old curator, of
course, stood up as tho next claimant to Mr
Traill, and finally allured to pay the tax him

Four years longer tho faithful little dog kept
liis loving watch, and at last died, to the re
gret of all who knew him, never having been
out of reach of his master???s grave, though in
his later years tho infirmities of doggish ago
forced him to accept a partial hospitality of
the curator. During tho many years which
???lapsed between the death of his master aud
his own departure tho lowly grave was forgot
ten by all but the dog. No stone guarded it,
and not even a mound marked it. The grass
and weeds grew luxuriantly over it as over the
level soil around. There had been for years
nothing that could mark out the grove from
the surrounding soil, but tho little dog know
tho sacred spot under which lay his master's
remains, and for hours used to stand upon it,
keeping his guard. A little way from tho
grave is an altar tomb, under which Bobby
used to shelter hitniJK'iu bad weather, and to
which he always was wont to take the bones

ATbuajtt Husband Ovkrtakkn.???John Wells
ami family, which consists of his nnfiable wife
ami four children, have until nuite recently
all lived quietly, peaceably and harmoniously
together, so far os the Citizen is aware, on tho
Ferguson place, a few miles from Harviell. A
few days ago, Mrs. Wells went to ono of the
neighbors, to be absent dining the day. Mr.
Wells spoke to his children, and said that they
might also go out and remain if they chose,
and that he would take a lunch for dinner.
The children are of different ages, tho smaller
ones quite young and the older ones merging
into womanhood. They accepted the oppor
tunity of spending a day, away from home,
and left very soon. It seems that Mr. Wells
was working a scheme to leave his home and
family. Not very long alter his family had
departed he was seen riding leisurely along
past Dr. Glass??? residence. The doctor recog
nized him, but of course knew nothing of
where he was going or whither he was bound.
Mr. Wells drove a double team which was at
tached to a lumber wagon. Following the
horses were two colts, one a yearling and the
other a young animal. Next morning Mrs.
Wells called upon Dr. Glass to know if he had
see.i anything of her husband. The doctor
stated to her that he had seen him pass the
day prior, as above described, but that he
knew nothing more.. Mrs. Wells seemed to
thoroughly comprehend the situation instan
taneously. She went - to her son-in-law's
place, near by, and borrowing a horse she
aped on after the fleeing husband as fast as
the animal would carry her. Every little dis
tance she would make inquiries, and succeeded
in following him with very little trouble.
Tuesday she came nearly up with him at a
place named Pittman's Ferry, in Arkansas,
about forty miles from Harviell. She sus
pected, from the time he had made, that he
???would be eta certain house, and she was cor
rect in her theory. In approaching the house
che took a circuitous route and came up on the
other tide and to her satisfaction discovered
men working in the field quite a distance from
the house. She approached them. One was
the owner of the farm, and through him she
learned that her runaway husband had ar
rived there and waa going to put up over
night. She told her story to him. She said
that Wells had run away from his family, and
asked him to assist her in taking the horses
and wagon out of the stable during the night
and she would take them home. This gentle
man was in sympathy with her as soon as she
related the circumstances, and readily con-
???ent 'd to assist her in her clandestine scheme.
So Mr*. Wells remained in the background
and awaited the retirement of the man who
ought to have been her support ??nd protector.
It seems, however, that Wells suspected that
something was wrong and he would not ???turn
in ??? On the contrary he sat on the front porch

Cost of Selmnit State Secrets in Germany.
???The remarkable trial which has been iu
progress for several days at Leipsic before the
supreme court of the German empire had end
ed iu the manner Bt which our Berlin corres
pondent hinted. Both the prisoners have been
fonod guilty. Captain Hontscli, os the chief
criminal, has hjeu sentenced to nine years???
penal servitude; Kraszewski, ns second in
juilt, is to bo confined for three years and a
lalf in a fortress. Tho trial is worth the while
itudying, if only for the side light which it
throws upon tho relations between Germany
and tome of her neighbors. The offense for
which Ileutsch and Kraszewski ore to suffer is
that they sold to foreign governments military
secrets which, in the interest of the German
empire, ought not to have been disclosed. Per
haps every completo criminal code ought t<
provide for this offense; but it is, in all prob
ability, unknown to our law. Were a clerk
from our war office to divulge military# secrets
he would cscapo severe punishment; his of
fense would entail at most expulsions, unless
he were foolish enough to purloin Borne docu
ment and lay himself open to the charge of
theft. But in legislating for a military state,
such as Germany, a different courso has been
taken. Tho German criminal codo contains
minute and stringent provisions as to the of
fense of giving in time of war information re
biting to fortresses, movements of troops, or
plaus of campaigns. It also makes it an of-
feme to communicate, even in time of peace,
matters which it is for the interest of tho em
pire should not bo divulged to a foreign power.
This prohibition is elastic and comprehensive
It enabled Prince Bismark to ruin Count Ar-
aim on the ground that in his pamphlet,
'Pro Nihily,??? he had published secrets offi
cially intrusted to him; and it has been
brought to bear with equal success against
Captain lleutsch and Kraszewski. That they
liad infringed this provision of the criminal
codo admitted of little doubt. Tho former had
exceptional opportunities for prying into the
secrets of tho grand general staff. Once on
officer in the Prussian army, and afterwards
employed in the telegraph office at Berlin, he
was well acquainted with officers of high rank
in the army, and he possessed considerable
reputation os a writer on military subjects.
Kraszewski, tho other prisoner, is a man of
niork. Ho would bo remarkable is tho history
of literature it only beenuse he had written
some 300 volumes, including about 200 novels.
A fertile aud successful novelist, poet, historian
and critic, lie had endeared himself to all poles
by his long continued services to their national
literature; and they will learn with deep re
gret that ho is convicted of playing a part in
the intriguo which has boon the subject of in
vestigation before the supreme court. Tho
counsel for the prosecution did not distinctly
explain what motives had led a man ofletters,
advanced in years, whoso interest in politics
hud been chiefly plotonic, to ongago in the
hazardous game of tho conspirator; but tho
evidence was clear as to his guilt.???London

Gibls as Pickpockets.???As the female hand
is allowed to be inoro dextrous than the male,
it stands to'reason that girls should learn the
trade of pocket-picking at least as roadiiv as
boys, if not more so. And they do. Tboro
are no smarter pickpockets in New York than
girls and young women who follow, tho trade
among the shoppers on Broadway, Sixth ave
nue, Fourteontn street and Twenty-third street,
They can mingle among the women, push
against them nnd keep very close to them with
less suspicion than men would cxcito, ami
they are as clever at gettiug away when their
work is done as any artful dodger of tho other
sex.
You probably have heard of feinalo Fngins
in New York who teach young girls to become
expert pickpockets. I think it is safo to say
that there aro quito as many women following
this profession os mon. Tho police know doz
ens of them in different parts of tho city.
They do not keen regular schools, but they
are at no titno without pupils. 'Most of them
ore to be found in tho crowded tenement neigh
borhoods, sorno keeping small stores in which
tho plunder brought in by the pupils, if it is
a thing that can be sold, is received aud dis
posed of. Children of eight, ten and twelve
years aro encouraged to go out and pick up
anything they can get, and if they show
smartness they are taken in hand and trained,
often much more thoroughly than they would
bo for an honest calling. I speak only of
girls; the training of boys for miscellaneous
theft is so notorious that it need not be men
tioned. Nearly all the trainers q*e old women,
and thoro is not one who, if accused of her
villainous work, would not protest innocence
and virtue till the accuser was glad to get out
of the reach of her rasping tongue. It is
characteristic of these women to invoke bush
els of blessings on you one moment, and pour
a torrent of anathemas the next. They live
mainly on the spoils brought in by the chil
dren they employ and teach and prepare for
the penitentiary, and some lay up a good
deal of money, though they always pretend to
be poor, and never spend much on them
selves.???New York Letter in the Detroit Froo
Press.
Jacko and Polly.??? 1 The great fun was to
watch her and Jacko in their contests for the
upper perch. Polly, having taken her tiffin,
was disposed for on afternoon nap, and she
accordingly commenced to mount the rope
ladder, but Jacko immediately set up a chat
ter, savagely showing his teelli, meanwhile,
and shaking tho rope violently to impede the
movements of Poll. In spite of this, up she
goes, steadily, hand over hand, nearer and
nearer to the coveted perch, on which sits the
monkey in a boiling passion and trembling
with excitement. Ilolding on by his tail and
hind legs, he now attempts to get hold of Poll,
but she snaps at his hands right and left, with
rapidity that is perfectly astounding, and
presently a shriek of pain announces that her
beak has drawn blood, aud down drops poor
Jacko like a stone, while Poll takes quiet pos
session of the perch, when, after repeating a
few self-congratulatory notes, she dozos off as
if nothing had happened. Jacko, meanwhile,
sits upon his haunches, examining his bite
with a very rueful countenance; but a little
petting from me sets him right, and a thorough
examination of everything eatable and drink -
iring been made, he goes regularly to
work to ???blow the steam off." Making the
rope ladder his center, he performs a series of
splendid jumps to it from all the articles of
furniture in the room, much to the disgust of
Polly, an then,???after a headlong rush round
the apartment, he bounds up the ladder like a
dash of lightning and make* a grab at Polly's
tail, dropping at once to the ground to escape
the consequences of this daring act. Tne
bird, however, was never injured by him in
this way, for she watched his every movement;
the only time that he ever stole a march upon
her was once when she happened to be feeding
in the sand tray immediately beneath the
rope ladde, down which her stealthy enemy
slipped like a serpent, and making a snatch,
caught her by the base of the tail. At that
moment a well directed branch of bananas
frem me hit him in the cheat, and down he
came, whereupon Poll seized him by the fleshr
part of the lower arm and bit it through. This
pointed that they would have killed him.
** ???How did you get into tho sack???? first ask
ed one of them.
??? ???I was put into the sack,??? ho replied with
great cunning,???because I refused what other
men would reckon groat good fortune. The two
men you saw' running away are two great
barons, who were commissioned to fetch me
nnd take mo by force to the king of Franconia,
who has determined I should marry his daugh
ter Berta. Before now ho has sent ambassa
dors to beg me to come and marry her, but
refused, showing them that I have alway
lived as a countryman, nnd should be miser
able at court.???
??? ???And why is ho, a king, so anxious that
you, a countryman, should marry his daugh
ter???? inquired the brigand, shrewdly.
??? ??? Because,??? replied tho peasant, equal
the occasion, ???lie has learnt from his oracle
that unless his daughter married a country
man he will loso his crown and all the country
will go to wreck and ruin. 8o now ho sent
these two great barons to take me to him by
force, and they are taking ino to the shore,
where a great skip awaits us in which I
be embarked.???
??? ???You aro foolish, indeed, to complain of
such good fortune?' answered the brigand.
??? ???Will you change places with me?' asked
Campriano.
??? ???Gladly enough,??? roplied the brigand,
???Thou I???ll give you leave to do so/said
Cainpriono, ???on condition that you promise to
remember ine when you coine into possession
of your kingdom, for whoso marries Berta will
be king of ail Franconia."
??? ???Yesl yes! I won't forget you,' answered
the brigand, fairly caught by tho bait; ???only
tnako haste nnd let me get into tho sack before
these great barons come back, lest they should
discover the exchange wo have made.???
???Campriano got. out readily enough, and
walked away as soon as he hnd made fast tho
mouth of the sack; and the other brigands
having gone away ???too, the cxccutisncrs came
stealthily back. Finding the cost clear nnd
tho sack looking iuskas well as when they left
it, they rau off with it ngain, and plunged it
into tbo sea with all expedition before any
other hindrance might occur.???Notes aud

Did It WiTn a Chip.???An interesting story
is told in connection with tho old stato prison
nt Charlestown, which shows how small and
insignificant a thing may give liberty to
prisoner: A convict had been sentenced to
imprisonment for fifteen years for committing
a series of burglaries, ami had served between
three and four years when ono day he brought
a small chip of wood from tho shop whero ho
was engaged iu labor to his cell. This fact
was not worthy of notice at tho moment.
When, howover, the prisoner, with others had
inarched to their cells, he placed tho chip in
such a way as to prevent tne bolt of the door
of his cell from fastening. Tho ofllcers on
duty mado their usual inspection, saw each
man in his cell aud so reported. After tho in
spection had been made tho convict in ques
tion opened his cell door, closed it again and
passed quickly out of a side door into the
yurd. In a moment ho had gained tho shop
whore ho worked. Hero he put a pair of over
alls belonging to on<* of the instructors em
ployed by contractors, and from thero ho got
upon tho prison wall and enteriyg ono of tho
S unrdhouses ho found an overcoat which ho
onned. He was now ready to bid adieu to
tho prison. His movements were in no wav
slow, for he knew that at any moment hfs
absence might be noticed and the officers bo
upon liis track. Leaping from tho wall the
convict was soon in tho stroet and off ???for parts

Prospect of the Removal of One From
Lowell to Atlanta.
A gentleman recently returned ??? from
business trip to Boston details a conversation
ho had while there with the president of a
calico print works, located in Lowell. In tho
talk the Boston gentleman spoke of the won
derful progress in cotton manufactures in the
south of recent years, saying:
???Before the war we used to get the hand
manipulated cotton from the south, the
seed being picked out by
darkeys and the cotton sent
us in loose bags. Afterwards the cotton gin
was invented and the cotton was baled in bet
ter shape. Then a few factories were estab
lished and course yarns were sent ua to be
woveu into low grade goods. Later on they
produced better yarns and began to weave
their own coarse goods. Now, the southern
mills are turning out some of the best goods
made in the union and sending them to us to
be printed. This brings us face to face with
the fact that the next step
the south will be the es
tablishment of print works in that section.
My company is seriously considering the ques
tion of transferring a part, if not all, of Its
plant to Atlanta and establishing there a
print works that can do this sort of work for a
majority of the southern mills for some years
to conic. We think Atlanta the central and
proper point for such an enterprise."
The gentleman who give* this information
is confident that the investigations now being
made by the Lowell company will result in
the establishment of a large print works in
this city before another year goes by.

The rapid improvements in the many ills
to which the human race is heir, says the
Daily World, Nashville, Tennessee, can be
attributed to but one source, and that is St.
Jacobs Oil, the world renowned pain cure.
There were at the Markham house last
Tuesday two young people who have had a
most romantic courtship and marriage, nnd,
it is to be hoped, they will realize in their
new state all tho bliss that their fancy has
painted.
They are Mr. P. J. 8. Montgomery, of Social
Circle, and his lovely bride neo Miss Ituth
Norma Lacy, daughtor of Mrs. S. C. Lacy, of
Vcrmejo, New Mexico.
Mr. Montgomery is a prominent young bus
iness man of Social Circle, who learned of tho
charms of the fair westerner through a relative
of the young Indy. A letter of introduction
was secured little more than a year ago, which
Mr. Montgomery forwarded. A correspon
dence ensued, which resulted in
tho young Georgian taking n
three thousand mile trip to the mountains and
plains of tho territory a few months ago.
ter traveling across a plain for some distance
his journey ended at the foot of a chain of the
most rugged and picturesque mountains for
which that lovely country is far famed,
handsome country house, surroumlod by for
tile fields was the homo of tho young lady
whoso face Ho had seen only
fancy. He met her and
is but fair to uny that his extravagaut dreams
.were fully realized. She was just sixteen,
though larger than the Georgia young ladies
of that ago. In her lovely western homo she
bloomed a ???rare and radiant maiden." Her
hair was dark and gracolullv crowned n
shapely bead and broad brow. Her eyes wero
deep blue and her cheeks wero tinted with tho
most delicate glow of a summer sunset.
It is needless to say that this most unusual
but exouisite combination of western benuty
coupled with a young lady's raro qualifica
tions of mind aud heart quite took tho breath
from tho young Georgian. Ho spent several
days at the hospitable home.
ine evening the young lady remarked:
We will have a shooting match to-mor
row."
That quite pleased tho young man and tho
next morning ho appeared oariy on tho sccno
swinging a faithful thirty-eight calibre six-
shooter, which in Georgia was considered a big
pistol. A moment later the lady appeared as
fresh as a daisy kissed by the dew nnd swing
ing in her nimble fingers a forty-flvo calibre
nearly two ieet long I
A small mark wus put up forty feet away.

times, nnd tho mark was not ovon grazed 1

Horses woro ordered and long rides
taken amid the most gorgeous scenery of that
bewilderingly beautiful land. Tho young
Georgian found his chnrmor to bo a most ac
complished rider, fearless of tho wildest
bronco, and perfectly at homo in any
position in her western laud. It is no wonder
that the young Georgian fell desperately in
lovo, and it is not surprising that his ardor
forced him to declare that tho charming young
lady ???had been his heart???s undoing."
Tho tender tilection was reciprocated, nnd
when, six days later, tho young man turned
his face homeward, it was with the under
standing that would soon roturn and trans

Miss Lacy lmd 'a charming sister three
years her senior, Miss Ecco Homo Lacy in
tho meshes of whoso charms Mr. T*. M. Mc
Guire, also of Social Circle, became willingly
entangled.
It became arranged that two young
Georgians should on the 3d of tho prosent
goodly month go out to New Mexico ami wed
these two charming young ladies. And that is
what they did do.

tars aiul tho marriage of her
daughters was an event of importance. Their
home was eighteen miles from tho railroad,
and it was determined to have the double
marria&o as romantic as ??? tho courtship hnd
been. An excursion was run up to tho lovely
little town of Trinidad/Jolorado, soventy miles
away, and a thousand frionds of tho young
couples assembled at tho opera house to wit

and Captain Kelly, tho latter Mr. Mont

e had three fingers shot off, whereupon he
and his partner swore they would ???clean out
the town," and began firing at everybody in
sight. There were only three guns in town,
but these were used with good effect and both
desperadoes were soon crippled. O'Fallon,
finding himself mortally hurt, rodo to his
partner aud saying, ???I am shot and a dead
man, but will stay with you," fell from his
horse. Rafsing himself on nis knees he took
deliberate aim with his rille at a
young man named Smith, not
concerned In the fight, and shot
him dead. The eitfsens then opened a general
fire on O'Fallon, who bad again staggered to
his feet. Her was shot fiye times before he fell,
and then, lying flat on the ground end cov
ered with blow!, continued fighting until dead.
Rattlesnake Jake also fought desperately, con
tinuing shooting until he died, wounded in
fourteen places. The citizens escaped with a
few slight wounds. Both desperadoes were
members of a horse-thief band which for some
time bad infested that j??rt of the territory.
