"Ain't you afraid he will bite you soma night when you come home late?" we anked. "Not a bit of it, he's too intelligent. He knows ray step as soon as I put ray foot on the gallery. Why, I weuldn t take five hundred dollars for that dog. He's the most reliable biting dog in San Antonio." About three days after the foregoing conversation took place, quite early one morning we met a policeman lend ing this identical dog ont into the suburbs. "What are you going to do with Major Jones' dog?" we asked. "He gave Lira tojue te take out and shoot." "What for?" we naked ia amaie mant. "Because he tackled the Major en his couiiDg home, and bit him iu thir teen places ; and he will not be down town for a week." "But I heard the Major say that that dog was intelligent ; that bo knew his step, and wouldn't bite him no way he could fix it ; that he wouldn't take five hundred dollars for that aaimal." "The dog ain't to blame for it," said the policeman, gazing sadly at poor Nero, "it's the Major's own fault.'. "How so V we inquired. "Well," responded the policeman slowly, "the dog did know his step and never even growled at him before; but last night for the first time since he 'owned the dog, the Major came home three hours earlier than usual and per fectly sober, and somehow bis step was very different from what the dog was used to ; he didn't taugle up his legs .8 much as common by any means and the dog was fooled by it, took him fer n perfect stranger, and bounced him. The dog ain't to blame ; he missed the smell of whiskey; he didn't hear the Major whoop and cuss and. fall down - the cellar, as he always Joes when he comes home, so Nero kept on biting the Major in fresh places, until, the larany lnienerea. "Come on, Nero 1" and the sad fu neral cortege resumed the line of march lor the brush. The Church Union says : "Two steamboats are to be fastened togeth er, stern to stern, in San Francisco Bay, for a trial of power. Wt never saw the thing tried with steamboats, ; but we have seen it tried with church es many a time. They take two church es of different denominations and place them stern to steru in a Western vil lage." Theu they whip up. Each pulls with forty-yoke power. They fill the whole region with their din, and the end is, neither goes forward a peg. They just neutralize 'each other that's all." The ladies do not think much of Jones. His little girl swallowed a cent and all the neighboring women rush ed iu to help Mrs. Jones tear around. Wheu Jones reached the scene the lit tle oue was pouring out her soul, in melody and bis wife was crying, VOh. what 6hall we do 1" Jones said that if the child kept her mouth open like that his wife might take a lantern and ge dowu her throat aud hunt the mon ey up. Home Sentinel. A story is told of a shrewish Scotch woman who tried to wean her husband from the public house -by- employing her brother to act the part of the ghost and frighten John on his way ; home. "Who are you?" said the guidmau, as the apparition rose before him from behind the bush. "I am auld Nick," was the reply, "Come awa', man said John, nothing daunted ; "gio's-a shake of your hand ; I am married tae a sis ter o'yours." A month from now there won't be politics enough in motion to make a iLree-line paragraph. The number ef editors who have become bald-headed ta a search of idoas will be alarming ly increased. "Sooner or later," says a writer, 'everything is found out." Just so. A. married man, for instance, is gener ily found out later about three ours later than he should be. A lady being atsked whether she uld keep a secret; replied, "Of ursa not; what ia the good of know 2 secret unless you may immodi idy tell it to somebody else?"

The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small stream and occasional wot meadow in which doposts of neat or muck are stored, su lllclent to fertilize, the whole upland sur face, aftar it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It Is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farm ing, that we know of this side of tlie West ern prairies. Wo found some of the old est farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. 1 he geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine denosit. and all through the soil we found evidences of eatcuTMOua substances, generally in the furinuf indurated calcareous marl, show ing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ; and this marly ubstauce is scattered ail through the self, in a very comminuted forur, and in the exact cotiditiou most easily asaimmilatsd by nuch plants as (he farm r dee r to eult'TaV). tm JOB WORK tow at mm 1 1 'REPUBLICAN" OFFICE At lis bweet qh frU, nttlf, prmpL ly, i e sU IpuU U J0i ny etW srtaJKiWtt m (JU IHtU. .7 ' ' I' I !!', BUSIHSS CARDS. 1 EIIOTT I 1 .
