"Yi', fir, thatV so ovury woid of
it ; nud I'll jeft tell you how il was.
Totlicr niyht w had muho fliifjinp at
our linitfp. You know our Sal'n hci'ii
going to the ringing rchool lately, mid
fhe and tho other gnU mid tho young
teller that go hev got fo that they
can rfjuak like hlazes. So inot every
night they meet at somebody's house
mid practice.
Well, tho other night thero was a
whole ere w on 'em nt our house ami they
had a higtimo Such a ecreechin' and
f qualm' mid helUrin' you never heerd
in all your lives. You'd hev thought
by the noiso a whole gang ol tom
cats had brokoloosonnd tackled Squire
Jones' big bull and wor jest bavin'
it hot and heavy. Well, that nr dog
was in tho room whilotbey worbingiir,
nnd ho was the most interested crcetur I
ever saw. He watched 'em bcatin' tjmo
and going through their manoovors,
and 'pared to understand 'cm all as
well as they did. At first they sung
lively tune, you know; and purty
toon, when they got tired of these,
they commenced on psalms and hymns
and othfr jerious things. Tho dog, he
swr-
'paired to like these botteriti' he did
tho lively lunci", nnd sot down ns eloo
up to 'em ns he could while they sung.
At last tho gals coaxed Jim lllow
hard to .lnrr 'Old Hundred.' Yon!
know wlutt nn old teat in' b.-uo voice ct,1 tl,nt ,,u? Ui'mlknii will carry
Jim has. When hu commenced, the' Alnlminn, Kloiidn, Illinois, Iowa, Kan

"Who? Jim?"
"Xo, blast you, the dog. Dlowlinrd
ho sung away lor awhile, and jest then
he tut tied round and kinder bit hti
hind legs."
"Gosh n mighty I I'lowhard J"
" Xo, you all-fired fool you, the dog,
ol con i so. Then sit. I to the old woman,
' Xnney June,' sea 1, you jest bet your
boots that dog's got somethin' In his
head.' Ami Xuiicy Jane sej she, You
git out I tdinnt do it.' Jest then the
dog picked up somethin' In his mouth
nt:il bolted out ol the room qulckei'ii a
streak. I didn't pay much attention
to it, and nobody elo noticed it.
" When niuwlimil finished, nil tho
gals crowded round him nnd com-
meitccd flatteriu' on him, when Hiul-
dcnly we all heerd n noise. It wn" the
oifiillcsl mixed up tiolxc ever anvbodv
heerd. K very body wan setut nearly
to death. Sis of the gals fainted nway
Into niowliaiil's arms all at once.
They wor hnngin' on to him from all
sides, like stiiug benns onto a pole.
Blou haul t,ot still (or n uiiunll or two,
but II was more liuggin' than ho could
stand, and he wilted light oil' lii scat
onto thu Hour and tried to crawl under
the sofa. Hclorc hu got mnre'ii hi
head and shoulders under, the gals all
came to and caught him by the tcet and
tiled to pull him nut. Illnwlwmi he
hung onto the folndegs mid bclleird
murder; nud the gals fcrceched, mid
some on 'em run around the room nine
teen times inaiuiniiit belnre they could
find anything else to lalul onto.
" I picked up a caudle and rin-hcd
out into the back yard, with two or
three of the spuukicxl men, and whal
do you think that nr intellectual dog
was doin'? He'd got it miiMo-bnok
spread out belnre him, and he was a

Il is now believed by many, who

in the Piesideiitial campaign. It is
said that the course pursued in thu de-
paitmciits In this city, mid in tho va

the policy. Xo doubt Mr. Johnson Is

and Is very much out ol humor because
he did not receive the nomination, but,
nevertheless, I do not place much icli-

very likely to come out for thu rebels,
