UNCLE 'JOHN lived1 and moved lit these parts forty' years ago. ' Cards and horse races and dog lights were his chief delight. : Few men , could, beat him at a game of "old sledge." '. His horses had lightning in their heels ; while his dogs (bull dogs and fighting dogs were fashion able In those days they were the genuine "dog days") carried the swift arrows of death in their bristling fangs. But it is seldom given to one man to excel in three pursuits at one time and in all places. However in respect of cards, horses and dogs, Uncle John had never met his match until fate took him to Sparta, then as now a flourishing little village in White county.' Even there he beat everything in sight as far as birds and horses were concerned, but his dogs were badly worsted. The Spartan inn keeper bad the king dog of all his tribe a ferocious "bull" that " chawed up and spit out" everything that came along. Uncle John put fifty dollars in specie on his own " Tige," but if Tige had gone through a Cincinnati sausage grinder he could scarcely have looked more ragged than he did when he came out. As went the first so followed the second, faster and faster, till it seemed unmerciful disaster had overtaken Uncle John, in the dog line at last. He traveled many Weary miles in search of a dog that could whip that tav erukeepcr's dog, but all to no purpose. He was losing his money fast and worse than all ho was losing his temper and his patience Faith in the "try, try again'! had almost deserted him. He went out on what he vowed was his last hunt and was near Sparta on his return late one after noon, gloomy and dejected, for he hadn't found the right animal yet, when, as good luck would have it, just as he got within a few miles of that inn which had been the scene of so many disgraceful defeats, he met a backwoodsman driving an ox team with a groat vicious looking wolf chained behind the wagon. Ho was not long as certaining that the wolf was as wild and as savage as a hyena ; that he but an hour bef oro had been caught in a trap, and that his owner could be induced to part with him for a valuable consideration. " I'll give you two dollars and a half in hard money for the critter;" proposed Uncle John. " : " Not enough yet," said backwoods. "Well," said Undo' John finally, "if you'll just help mo strap him behind my saddle an'll take five dollars, it's a trade. And they traded. "If I don't whip that blamedjtavernkeepcr's dog this time," muttored Uncle John to himself, as he drew toward 8parta "he may take my hat for a corn basket." ' , '. As it was quite dark when our hero reached the inn, he cautiously unstrapped the terrible beast, and pitched him into a doscrted out-bouse, which fortunately stood hard by, fastened him in securely and entered the hotel. " I think I've found a dog that'll chew yourn up this' time,'! re- marked Uncle John to the major-domo, after passing through the usual salutations. " You really think you've found him at last, do you?" chuckled the master of the king of dogs, and tipping a sly wink at the crowd, " Well, what do you say to lettin' 'em together in the morning ?" "All right," said Uncle John. "I'm bound to be off home mighty airly in the mornln', but if you'll bo ready directly after breakfast, I won't mind just giving you one more turn, anyhow." . The rumor soon spread through , the vil lage of Sparta that a great dog light was to come off next day by sunrise and tho whole vicinity was on the qui tine. Our hero ex plained that his dog was so tigrut that he was obliged to keep him closely confined, "Blamed" said he, "if I bolievo he knows his own master yet. So it was arranged that bis dog was to remain in the out housean old crib or barn by tho way and that the dog was to bo unchainod and turned in with him at a given signal. By daylight everybody was up and ready for the fray. Tho old barn in which Uncle John's dog was shut was so dark at that hour that only his outlines just enough to indicate that ho was a "Bho'nuff dog" could bo detected. Bets ran high, the odds being all in favor of the great victor in so many hotly contested lights. Uncle John staked a round hundred against a liko sum of the inn kocpor's. Time was called. The ferocious bull dog sniffed his ttntagouist through tho cracks of the old barn, growled deflanco for a moment, and when unchain cd and tho window opened, lit in at a single bound. Ah I then and there was hurrying to aud fro, and Bputterings of distress, and cheeks all pnlo which but an hour ago blushed with a quart of rum or something less. Men, women and children outside were running around that crib, trying to peep in through (he cracks and crevices. Bttoh a sputtering sputtering, growling, yelling, gnnshing of teeth and caterwauling has never been heard in Bparta from that day to this. Tho tavern keeper, excitedly suggested that " forty wolves couldn't keep more fuss than them two dogs." Uncle Johu awaited tho issue with calm dignity of one conscious that he holds four aces in his hand aud tho firth up his sleeve ; the only cool man ou the ground. But it didu't lout long, sooner than it takes to tell it, a int whiuo was heard at the window, the shutter was thrown open, and What was left of poor 'Bull" struggled heavily to the sill and fell in a raw lump to the. ground on the outside". - This was the first and Inst time be ever turned back oh an enemy; bo made one i or two nervous kloks and all was over. He was in it shocking plight indeed; minus one ear, one eye, and the ' greater part of his "innards;" - he . might have i passed through a threshing machine and fared better. . Unce John hastily snatched the wager from the stakeholder, mounted his horse and rode off in a sweeping gallop, yelling at mine host that "whenever he had any more fighting dogs '. to please lot him know." . m t. , How long the wolf remained in that crib as monarch of all he surveyed, or how long Bull's master was in finding out the nature of the dog that sont his favorite to his last account, is not precisely stated, but it is said that when he became fully conscious of the facts as they existed, he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, mounted a stump and gave ' utterances to such male dictions as wore never heard before.- His character as a dog-rightist gone, his money gone, his dog gone, and Uncle John gone (nevor to return), stirred the deep founda tions of his inmost ' bile. , It is stated as a fact that he never smiled again; and all that any one had to do to get up the big gest sort of a rumpus Was just to ask that Spartan if be had any more dogs he'd like to bet on. lfahvtUe Paper.'"" ' " Alum How Obtained. IN some portions of huiopo alum stone, a grayish colored mineral, is found in large quantities, from which the best alum of commorco is procured; in Italy this stone is obtained from quarries by blasting, and, when exposed for a short time to a moist atmosphere, becomes friablo and eventually fails to pieces. The first process in tho manufacture of this varioty of alum is the erection of par allel piles of these stones, arranged in reg ularly formed layers, on each side of which, and in close proximity, channels are exca vated and filled with water. A gentle heat is then applied, and tho water sprinkled over the heaps at frequent intervals. By this treatment the stones Boon commence to pulverize, but the moistening is continued for several weeks, as it facilitates the sopa ratidn of their constituent elements. When completely pulverizod, the powder is thor oughly boiled in vessels specially prepared for this purpose, i This process causes subsidence of earthy ingredients, ' and an evaporation of all volatile foreign substan7 ces. Tho liquid is then withdrawn into other Vessels, and allowed to remain undis turbed until the alum appears In the form of crystals, which is usually tliecase in the course of a few days. This is! termed Ro man alum, and is regarded as tho most vat uable variety in the market,' because pos sessing fewer impurities than any other. It can be readily recognized by tho auburn tint seen ou the surface, which is imparted it by the presence of minute ' particles of the sulphate of iron. Another varioty of alum la manufactured from alum slate ; a species of sandstone containing a large quantity of clay, wAieh is extensively dissominated throughout dif ferent portions of the United States and Canada. In its preparation, tho slates,like the alum rocks, are arranged in regularly formed masses and subjected to a certain amount of heat and moisture. At Whitby, where the most extensive manufactories of Europe are located, these masses are often built to a height of one buudred feet, with a baso of two hundred feet square. Owing to the composition of these slates, twelve months, and often more, are required for tho burning process. After an artificial tire has been continued for several weoks, no additional food is necessary, as tho chemi cal changes in tho ingredients will funiiuli sufficient material for combustion. When thoroughly pulverized by this process the powder is placed in large vessels of water, where tho Boluble salts they contain are washed out, after which tho liquor is boiled, and, for tho purpose of eliminating all im purities, condensed by the agency of heat into a powerful solution of copperas and tho sulphate of ammonia or basio alum. This liquor, thus condensed, is then con veyed into largo tanks, where the iron is chemically separated and a suitable alkali added (tho basic alum not possessing the property of crystalization), which causes the formation of crystals on the sides of the tanks. These are again dissolved, and tho solution placed in casks around the Bides of which, in a short timo, the alum crystals are re-formed, and those, when they become free from moisture, are ready for market. It is estimated that G1J tons of alum slate are required to one ton of alum. JV. T, Mercantile Journal. ' tW "O mamma, mamma," said a tow headed little urchin, in a tone of mingled fright and penitence. " Oh, mamma, I's been thwaring " ' ' . "linen swearing, my child; wiiatdid you say?"

A New Swindle. AN ingenious though unsuccessful at tempt to defraud the Government has just been brought to light in N. York. For Ingenuity of conception and complete ness of detail it has rarely bcn surpassed. A young man, scarcely twenty years ol age, teller of a down-town bank,- wrote to the Treasury Department at Washington, inclosing a $!00 bill, quite worn in appear ance, which he wished" 'Sxohanged for new money. 'The money he doslrod sent to his address in that city, The Jotter and- bill were refdrred to the proper"clerks iu tho office without suspicion of wrong." Upon examination it was found that it was a trifle shorter than it skould be. This led to closer investigation, which revealed the fact that it was constructed of slips cut from the genuine bills of the same denom ination, pasted, together with wonderful exactness and care. These strips, to the number of fifteen, wore pasted to a strip of tissue paper almost invisible, so thin Was Us texture. The first was cut from the left end of a genuine note, the second from another bill to join, the third to join that, &c. Fifteen bills of the same issue must have been manipulated in order to obtain tho requisite number of strips. So small was the portion taken from each bill that its absence could be easily concealed from any , but a critical eye, by jonining the edges of, the major and , remaining parts. The rectangular pieces were fitted to their respective positions in the .manufactured note, were joined with such exactness that the engraved lines and printed words were complete and unbroken. Detectives were stationed at the desig nated place, and when tho young man called for his answer from Washington, he was arrested on a charge of attempting to defraud the Government. He was astound ed at tlie arrest and made a full confession of guilt. Hitherto, ho had worn an un blemished reputation, and had many and influential friends. It was satisfactorily shown that it was his first deviation from the path of rectitudo, and as his penitence was as sincere as his grief, his friends asked for mercy. General Spinner was presented with a petition signed by influ ential men of that city, who begged to re frain , from a prosecution of the offender. The culprit himself wrote a letter to Gen Spinnor, concealing none of the facts and imploring forgiveness. In view of these circumstances, and tho fact; that he was the only support of a widowed and aged moth er, aud a sister of great respectability, the prosecution was withdrawn. . , 7. For the same reason the name of tho un fortunate . youth is suppressed from publi cation. , Here it may be stated that tho piocos takon from the $o00 bills do not impair their vahto, as under a rule established by Secretary Boutwell, any bill from which less than one-half bad been taken will be redeemed at the Treasury Department at the full value of tho original bill. A Wonderful Story. " An occasional correspondent" of tho World, writing from Paris, relates a won durful story of an unparalleled surgical operation, the removal of the brain from a dead man's head mid placing it in the skull of a chloroformed condemned sol dier. The operator was Professor Muller of WeUshicht, and the operation was per formed in Leipzic, Germany. A soldier who had killed his colonel in cold blood was condemned t(j die, but given over to the tender mercies of . the surgeons, and kept in close confinement until an oppor tunity for viviscotion was presented. This came when a beer saloon keeper was brought to the hospital ill with a fatal malady. He died, the soldier was chloroformed, the live man's brain removed and replaced by that of the dead man. The patient kept in a sound sleep for two weeks, but gradually came to life. At the end of the third week speech returned, but It was hesitating and stammering as a child learning to talk. The soldier had forgotten his military training and prated of beer mugs and wine butts. The soldier had been gloomy and taciturn, but as metamorphosed ho was the jolly, garrulous saloon keeper. Evidently a ease of change of identity. Whatever tax the story makes ou credulity no change is made for believing it. In Disguise. One of the strange accidents connected with the Atlantic tragedy was the discov ery that one of the bodies, apparently that of a common sailor, one of the ship's crew, was that of a young woman some twenty years of ago. Her sex was not found out until preparations were being made for her burial. ' Billy," the name by which she was known by tho crow of the ship, was a good fellow and a general favorite, taking her grog and tobacco with tho rest of them, although superior to her companions in deportment. Whatover may havo been tlie life of tho poor girl, her death was that of a self sacrificing horoitie, for she perish ed in attempting to save others, when many of her companions were intent on solf-prosorvation only. Her secret what every it might have been, whether of un happy love, or unrequittod passion, or hitter romoiso, or a strange thirst for the perilous adventures of the ocean, perished with her in the rude waves that have swal lowed up in tlioir bosoms so many of the mysteries and sorrows of life.
