Albright, ol Kno Mountain, caught a male fawn la the Compton wood and petted It until It followed bim to hi home, more than tw miles diHUuit. The little animal soon an swered to the name of Dick, and In a few weeks became very mucb attached to orx of Albright's calves. At Hrst the calf was shy of the fawn, but Dick cbaed It around the panture, cornered it up and licked it on the bead until It became fond of him, and ,w "ley were almost constantly to gether. Dick did not pay the slightest attention to the other calves on the place, and dur ing the summer and fall Dick and the call fed and played together in tbe Delds and woods near by. When the cattle wer "yarded" in tbe winter Dick stuck close U tbe calf and lay down in the straw with it, and if any of the animals came near hi chosen companion while they were resting under tbe shed Dick would bristle up and drive them away. Tbe calf grew to be a steer, and Mr. Albright began to work bim with a mate. He ww driven on tbe oil side, and Dick walked by bim wbenevei the team was at work. He licked the steei on the head and neck and tbe steer did th tame thing to him. If Dick happened to wander away In woods to browse while Mr. Albright was lagging, the steer would low for him as a cow does for her calf, and Dick would come bounding and bleating through tb brush, and he and tbe steer would lick each other as though they had been sep arated all day. Dick never noticed th other steers in the least, and when Mr. Albright began to stable the steers Dick made such a fuss over being kept out of the barn that Mr. Albright enlarged tha off one's stall so that Dick could lie with his companion at night. Tbe affection of the buck and steer was never lessened in the slightest; in fact, it became stronger right along, and Mr. Al bright allowed them to be together the year around. One day while Mr. Albright was drawing a load of logs down tha mountain, the off steer lay down in the road and began to groan and froth at tha mouth. Mr. Albright immediately nn yoked bim and tried to get bim to stand np. Dick was walking by bis aide when he lay down, and the moment tbe steer be gan to groau and roll tbe buck got down on his knees, licked the steer's face, bleat ed mournfully and showed remarkahl sympathy for the suffering brute. The steer grew worse, and in a few min utes stretched out on his side and died. The buck continued to moan and lick the steer's bead, aud Mr. Albright left him there, drove the other steer to the foot of the hill and went off to get a man to help him skin the dead animal. When he re turned, Dick was still on his knees by th steer's head. He was bleating piteougly and licking the face and neck of his lifeless companion. Mr. Albright drove himaway several times, but be came back repeatedly and seemed to bo determined to stay by tha carcass. Then they started to skin the steer, and when they had removed the bide from the head and chopped the boms off, tbe buck, bleating furiously, stamped his hoofs, bounded back and forth and acted as though he was crazed with grief. The spot was half a mile from Mr. Ab brighfs place, and every day Dick visited ft, refused to eat and became so thin and weak that be could not walk. Mr. Al bright tried to force food down his throat, but it was useless, and one morning ha found poor Dick lying dead in the barn yard. Sera nton Cor. St. Louis Globe--Democrat. FROM WASHINGTON CITY. Admiral Walker Leaves for Venezuela on Board of the Chicago Entrusted With Sealed Orders. Consul-General Sutton has cabled tha State Department that the time for the free importation of corn has been ex tended by the Mexican Government until November 13. The "ten days" statement just issued from the Treasury shows the total net gold in the Treasury to be $ 114,218,971, an increase of about $50,000 since the first of the month. The receipts at New York from customs in that time were f 3,077,803, showing a slight falling off irom the corresponding period of last year, and a decrease of more than $1, 000,000 as compared with the first ten days of August, 1802. This large de crease of 25 per cent, is evidently due to cholera, all the steamers now at quaran tine being heavily laden with goods. Treasury officials are anticipating a heavy decrease in customs receipts be cause of the cholera epidemic in Europe. There are good reaeons for believing that the sealed instructions which were delivered to Admiral Walker on board the Chicago entrusted him with a mis sion more important perhapB than any that has been confided to an American naval officer in recent years. The pro tracted conference which President Har rison held with Acting Secretary of State Aaee on nis recent visit to Washington ; the long consultation between Secretary of the Navy Tracy and Mr. Adee before Admiral Walker's orders were finaliy agreeu upon; tne careiuuy worded official statement given out that Admiral Walker "was directed to pursue a vigor ous course in dealing with the situation, especially in connection with foreign aggression;" all take new significance on the supposition, believed to be well founded, that Admiral Walker's mission to La Guayra with his squadron will be to proffer the friendly intervention of the United States to the Venezuelan authorities, whoever they may be by the time he arrives out there, for the pur pose of preventing the final absorption of Venezuelan territory bv Great Brit ain, and, further, to secure the restora tion of the atatuB quo as to such bounda ries as existed prior to 1877, and to ob tain consent for submission to arbitra tion of the question of title to the terri tory In dispute.

After the close of the service she waited on the clergyman, who greeted her cordially and asked what she thought of his discourse. "Eh, man," she replied candidly, "it's a lang time sin' I first heard ye preach that yin, sir, and I've heard ye at it a guid wheen o' times sin' syne." "Ay, Janet," said the minister; "how of ten do ye think ye've heard it, naf" "Oh, aboot a dizzen o' times, sir," she replied. "An' div ye mind it a'?" said the minister. "Aweel, maybe no it a', sir."
