There was no bel ter behaved dog in
the entire State of Illinois than Bal
lard's "Monte." Ho was young.lmnd
some, intelligent, educated nnd of
good moral habits. Ho was a high
bred setter, with loog, soft hair, dark
brown in color and tawny under the
throat. His eyes were soft nnd melt
ing in their expression, his silken curs
had the patrician droop, and his aris
tocratic tail wus eloquent in its ex

ho tasted his first "lass of beer, and
from that moment was a ruined dog
The way of it was this :

a moment after came to a dead point
on a field-mouse or a grasshopper. Ho
chased rabits an indiscretion which
he would have scorned in his sober
senses. It was painfully evident that
Monte was drunk palpably and
shamefully drunk drunk as a fiddler.
The next morning Monto got up with
a raging headache. But he seems to

it was funny to see a dog making a
beast of himself, nnd so they invited
poor Moute to take another aud an
other, until the upshot of it was that
he went homo that night drunker than
ever. It got noised around town that
Monto liked beer, and everbody began
to invite him. Tho consequenco was
that he became a sot. Ho negloctcd
his business. His beautiful, eyes lis
came red and rheumy, aud his silken
cunt got shaggy. Ho frequented tho
bar-rioms und "laid" 1r invitations
to drink. When lmrd pressed ho
would "run bis face" with tho bar
keeper. Monte made frequent attempts to
reform, but dog flesh is weak ; alter a
day or two of nbsfmence ho would
plunge into a dcr debauch. Aud so
lie went from bail ta worse. His mas
ter becoming alarmed, served notices
on all tho whisky shops not to let
Moutc have anything ; but to no pur
pose. He found means to get drunk
every day. Beer got too weak for
him and he took to whisky. Other
dogs began to look down on him.
Smith's dog a ruiseiable mongrel
cut his acquaintance. Even tho fists
and bench-legs regarded him with a
pity that was more galling to his
proud nature than contempt. Final
ly tli1) end came. After ail unusually
protracted debauch, Monte began to
ee things. Ho would bristle up to
imaginary dogs, aud then shrink in
the most abject terror from some im
aginary asuuilaut, then he would come
to a dead point on nothing, ami ho
would hustle imaginary o :.bout tho
yard, and, gotiing them in a corner,
bark for hours at vacancy. He
couldn't kleen. He couldn't eat. Ho
couldn't do anything that was sensi
ble, and filially he died ns the foul
dieth ofjunjanis. -Wo .buried him
under an Apple tree, with a hend-board
bearing tio following iucriplion :

A singular incident happened

on
by
An
old gentleman nnd his hopeful son ot
about nineteen summers got on the
ears tit Croppers Station, in company
Willi two blooming lasses. I heir ap
pearance and actions excited some
suspicion, aud upon inquiry it was
ascertained that the two gentlemen
were runaway lovers and tho two la
dies cousins, who were going to be
come of one flesh with the father and
son respectively. The father, discreet
man that bo wns, hart chosen the elder
of the two maidens, who wns about
twenty, nnd tho son hud taken the
younger,. a blooming miss of eighteen.
They accomplished their journey in
safety, were married in Jeflersoiiville,
and returned en dipt. Clohcssy's train
again. It wus quite amusing to see
them as they chuckled over they suc
cess in outwitting tho stern parents
of the girls leaning neross the aile to
whisper to encii other, and resuming
their erect attitude to give an allec
tiunate squeezo to the fair ones by their
sides. We never before heard of fath
er and son running oil' on the same
Iraiu to get married, but presumo it is
well to have that kind of confidence
existing iu the same family. Lexing

Ail occupation pursued in various
parts of Texas, uud peculiar to that
State, is tho trade generally known
at "cattlo skinning." A number of
daring and uot over scrupulous fel
lows will baud togeather aud scour
tho country at all hours, for the pur
pose of "skinning" any luck less bovine
that may oe found out of sight of its
owner. The cattle are driven into
tho hush or r ravine, shot down nnd
hastily deprived of their skin and I he
carcasses left for the wolves or buz
zard. This bus beeonio a real science
in Texas, and many are making mon
ey nt the business. The bide of a
good steer will bring $6, and us it is
all clear money it is bound to pay.
Efforts are being constantly made to
culch three "skinuists," but they nre
so sharp, that they always dudo cap
ture. This is a branch of the cattle
trade with which the people of other
States are not generally acquainted,
but us the old mun said to his son, "it
shows what energy aud persevereuce
can accomplish."

The Chicago Tribune fays : "One of
the most remarkable human beings
that ever had existence, complained to
the mnvor vesterdav that ho had been
swindled by the proprietors of Jones'
Museum, a traveling show ol the hor
rible order, now located at No. 45
Randolph sireet. It appears thut
while tho 'museum' was being urged
through the neighboring state of Indi
nun, tlie mauairera discovered the com
plainant. Frederick Hetti.ch, nt Tot-
letson. lie resembled a gorilla so
nueh that they conceived the i lea of
engaging him to personate a wild man
in their entertainment. The seductive
offer of 825 a month and board was
thrown out ns a bail for Fred to nibble
at, and he gulped it down, without
wasting time in consideration, and be
came a member f the company, con
sisting of an obese woman, a man so
thin as to be almost invisible nt a side
view, a sword-swal lower, n learned pig
with a propensity for short cards, a
monkey, n fangless snake, and a hand
organ. Arrayed iu tights, Fred, with
his repulsive features uid misshapen
body, struck terror In the hearts of the
simple rustics who patronized the show
on its tour through the hoosier State.
He was a great card for the manage
ment. Every person who saw him
firmly believed that his grandfather
was ut least a fino old African
gorilla who might have met Mnngo
Park in his solitary wanderings. Af
ter Indiana had been thoroughly can
vassed the museum proprietors decided
to visit Chicago and take Fred with
them. They arrived hero a f-iw days
ago, and ever since the "wild man
has been a source of wonder to those
who have seen him. But wild men
resemble tame men in (wo respects nt
least; they will eat nnd sleep. The
museum people, however, npjienr to
have overlooked theso minor matters
iu their dealings w'ult the "wild man."
Thyy have given him in money n:u
have never even asked him if a crust
of bread would do him good. Nuttl
rally enough he complains to 1I13 mayor
that he cannot live long uinler such
unfavorable circumstances. He cun
not be a decent wild mau on an empty
stomadi. Every time he comes on the
slago he feels mure like going to sleep
than bellowing around aud making a
fool of him -elf for nothing a week. All
he wants tho mayor to do is to get some
money for him from the museum men.
The mayor told him ho would see what
could be done. Seriously speaking,
Ilettiscli is a horrible-looking person.
He bus a small, round head, glutei ing
black eyes, no perceptible cliin, pro
truding lips, turned-up nose, nnd a
foreheud that recedes at a most acute
tingle. In addition lo these peculiari
ties be is slightly humpbacked.
THE t llAXt liM IN FAVUK OF CUHIi:.
The Fond du Lac, Wisconsiu, Com
monwealth thus hits oil" the absurdities
of our sytem of criminal law: If any
body kills you the State will punish
him, if he is caught and convicted, but
will not be particuliii ly "desolate," as
the French say, if he gets oil". Cer
tain it is, ho will have every possible
chance uiibrded him, if he bo cuught,
to defeat justice, in spite of all the lax
you paid during life, which according
to the compact, had direct rel'eronce
to t!io conviction of your murderer.
He will bo presumed innocent; tue
burden of proof v ill be thrown on the
prosecution ; there must be an actual
preponderance of evidence to convict ;
lie has unrestraint d right to challenge ;
the judge is compelled by luw lo be
one of his counsel; to lean to bis
side; und he may have ns many law
yers ns his purse will ufl'or.l, who, if
they do not secure a verdict iu his
favor will tire out justice by tho num
erous mclhnda of delay that the hu
manity of tho code lias put into their
power. So you see there is very little
likelihood of your names being aveng
ed. But even if lie is conv.cted and
punished, righr minded men unite in
declaring it should not be for killing
you, that would be the Lex tiiliotiis,
and everybody knows that's wrong.
It would not bung you to life again
but would simply bo barbarous r?
venge. No; it is perfectly clear, if
the murderer be punished at all, it is
not for killing you, but to keep him
from killing nn, and to deter others
from killing us. He is not to be pun
isbed for what ho hns d me, but for
what ho mny do, or embolden others
to da.
A man hud his none bitten ofl' in u
row at Plover recently, and us if to
add insult to the injury .inflicted, his
opponent kicked the severed member
about tho floor, nud otl' red it to a dog
for lunch, which the latter decliued.
The noseless victim s.ivs he did uoi
miud having the uose chewed oil", but
to give it to a dog to eat is the feather
thut iiacturcd tho dromedary s spiuo,
and he will see what revenge bo cau
get by law.

FACT) FROM TllK CENSUS.-
Some curious facts como to light up.
on examining the figure cf (.lie latu
census relating to manufactures. In
addition to the conclusions reached aa
to the relative importance of several
principal cities, in the aggregate of
their productions, wo leara which
State excels in each sepnralo branch
of manufacture, nud how large a pro
portion of the country's total produc
tioii it supplies. Thus, in tho manu
facture of cotton goods, Massachusetts
lakes precedence, turning out about
one third of I ho aggregate production
of ali tlie States. Massachusetts also
takes the lead in blenching, b.oU and
shoes (producing nearly ono half of
all made in the country), baskets.
brushes, cordage, cutlery (over one
half) chairs, spinning and wearing
machinery, fish oils, paper, phto
trraphv, preicrves and sauces, sails,
straw goods, wearing nppearel, wire,
and woolen goods.
New York heads the list in the
manufacture of artifical limbs, awn
ings nnd tents, bellows, leather belt
ing, billiard tames, unnKoinaing, ci
gars, cheese, paper and packing boxes,
brooms, carriages, cider, coffee, coffins,
paper collars, confectionery, cooper

pocket hooks, printing, pumps, regalia,
safes, show cases, silverware, soap and
candles, starch, sugar, tin, copper an't

Pennsylvania claims pre-eminence
in tho matter of blacking, brass fbund-.

lumber, general machinery, steam
boilers, lead and zinc paints, patent
medicines, perfumery, roofing materi
als, sow, steel, stereotyping nnd dec
trotyping, unbrellns und canes, whips
nnd turned nnd carved wood.
Connecticut stands at the head in
bells, firearms, gunpowder, hardware,
plated ware, spectacles, nnd .one or
two other articles which constitute
subdivisions of general beads.
New Jersey leads oil' in artifical
building stone, snddlcrv hardware,
japanned ware, kaolin and ground
can lis, trunks, valises ana satchel.
Illinois is at the head in butcher
ing nnd in distilling liquors. It also
exceeds in the production of paper
bags and packed pork.
Ohio makes the most boats, pro
duces the most dressed flax, and turns
wooden ware. One or two other
States are mentioned ns pre-eminent
