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 unseen by him and succeeded in taking all the noy Poll as a source of fun, still he grew to horses out of a back door and making off with respect ** *??? * lA 1 ??? * them, only leaving the wagon and a few traps Times, he had thrown in for her naughty runaway I ??? ??? spouse.

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 and other food provided for him by tho gener ous persons whose names have been mention ed. Lady Burdett-Couttsgladdened tho heurts of many lovers of animals, when she perpetu ated his memory by a lasting monument of granite and bronze. The monument is a drink ing fountain made of Peterhead granite, and surmounted by a lifo size statute of Bobby in bronze.???Every Other Saturday. 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 *nd watched all night This, for a time, frus- 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 Times. 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 Quorios.s 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.

WESTERNER. A Letter of Introduction Results In a Trip to New Mexico, and That Trip Undoes a Young Man's * Heart-An Engagement and a Romantlo Marriage - Another Marriage. 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.

Portland, Oregon, July 15.???Pour more fisher men were drowned at the month of Columbia river yesterday. This makes fifty men drowned there the last three months. 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. Bangl went tho young mail???s pistol six times, nnd tho mark was not ovon grazed 1 Tho young lady, as graceful as a fawn, step ped to taw. Sho raised the heavy ongino of death nnd scut six balls as straight as an arrow to the very heart of the mark 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 plant fb e t.-MM . dower,to a Georgia.gardcn. 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. Mrs. Lacy U a widow with cattle upon n thousand hills. Her wealth reaches tho snug figure of a half million 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 ness tho ceremony. Tho two couples appeared on the stage under tho escort of Mrs. Lacy and Captain Kelly, tho latter Mr. Mont gomery???s business partner at Social Circle. Thrco ministers were present; among thorn wero Rev. Mr. Timmons, of Social Cir- o. The ceremony was deeply impressive. After tho connubial knots were tied tho bridal party repaired to tho Grand Union hotel, where a magnificent banqnet occurred.

DESPERADOES SHOT TO DEATH Uattlesnnkfl Jake nnd Hill O???Fnllon Killed Alter n Desperate l ight. Helena, Mont,.

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. Preparing for Cholera.
