Remarkable French Dogs.
M. Rouil, the owner of tho dogf, has
boen for ton years professor iu au-jnsti
tution for deaf mutes, which suggested
to him the idea of trying whether sxsimi
lar system of education could d,ev?lop
the intelligence of dogs. lie had diso
had some experience as a prestidigita
teur; audtheso two professions combin
ed to render his exhibitions truly
wonderful. M. Rouil came by invita
tion to Mr. Hamer ton's house, bringing'
with him two of his dogs?Maocho, a
poodle, and Lyda, a cross between a
poodle and a spaniel. A number of
guests were present to witness the per
i'ormanco, and all agree in corrobwrating
the statements of Mr. 1 fa inert ou. A
largo tablo was placed in tho jcentre of
ths room, and on it wore laid sqpe cards
on which the' letters of the alphabet
wore printed in large capitals. M.
Rouil then told Manche to spell fro
mage (cheese). Sho immediately picked
out an F, and an (), und then seemed to
hesitate. "You only give us three letters:
thore arc sevcu," said M. Rouil Manche
theu found M, A, G, E, ami the word
was complete.
Sho was then asked to translate ; and
the word p/crd (horse) w?s written iu
Gurman characters on a slate. Manehe
read it* or pretended to do so, and put
her paw on the slabe as a sigushe under
stood. ''Give it to us in French," said
M. Rouil j and the word cKevnt was im
mediately produced. "Now in English,"
and without hesitation, she found the
letters for horse.
She then performed the remarkable
feat oT correcting a mistake in orthogra
phy. Mr. Hamcrton wrote the word
meson on the slate, inatcad^of maison
(house) ; and, on being asked where the
error was. Manche pointed to tho letter
"0," und theu picked pa ? : 4'a" and au
In spite of her success, the nnituul
scented to accomplish her work with
considerable effort, and made sounds of
complaint. The authority of her master
although exorcised with grvut gcntlcue&s,
seemed irresistible as that of a mag
ncli/.or ovrr his Bubjeot. Perceiving,
tins, Mr. Hamcrton suggested giving
her a rest, ar.d she was allowed to retire
to a corner and enjoy sotno bon-bons,
while Lyda took her place on the tnble
Some numbers were now substituted
for the letters of the alphabet. Several
problems were written on the slate,
which Lyda apparently solved without
difficulty.
Her master then propo.-ed trying a
little mental arithmetic, and said, "Lyda.
it you had ten pieces of sugar, and met
ten Prussian dogs, how many pieces
would you, a French dog, >f\vo to each
Prussian ?" Lyda replied to this quei
tion by pointing out the zero with great
energy. -'And now," said her master,
'if you vcre to share with mo ?" Lyda
took tho figure 5 aud give it to liiru.
M. Rouil theu went out for a moment,
while Mr. Hamcrton asked the log for
several numbers successively, whieh she
brought without the slightest hesitation.
Manche then came forward, and a
pack of playing cards was spread ou the
table, M. Rouil holding another pack iu
his hand, and asking the company to
choose a caril from it. Without making
any mistake, Blanche immediately
brought tho corresponding card from
the pack ou the table.
Sho thon played a game of cards with
a young lud}', and was beaten ; after
which she took refuge in acorner wi'li
an uii of deep humiliation.
Tho most surprising feat of all came
next. A pack of cards was spread ou
the floor in the next room, and the door
nearly closed. M. Rouil tol l one of the
guc.-ts to ask the dog iu a whisper to
fctoh any card be choso to name. The
aco of spade' was called for. Manche
went iu search of it, and immediately
returned with tho right card in her
mouth.
Mr. IJauicrlon himself then examined
tho dog again in her literary acquire
moots, and sho translated the word chicn
(dog) into English ; and spelt the word
feu (fire) without difficulty ; but at this
poiut M. Rouil interposed, and said
gently, "That is very well for the singu
lar, ^now give us the plural." Wonder
ful as it seems, Manche at once picked
out tho letter X, a id ^jave it to Mr.
Hamerton.
This account is almost incredible ; but
the facts are vouched for by Mr. Hnmor
ton, who, however, offers no satisfactory
explanation of them, "if the dogs had
beoii lens clever," he says, "we might
have believed in their actual knowledge;
but thej really knew too much. Being
convinced that there was sonic commu
nication between them and their master,
I .had invited several very intelligent
friends to be present, telling them that
my object was to discover the system of
M. Pi (mi 1, and asking their assistance
They watched as close as I did, but
cowld discover nothing." During many
of the pcrformauccs M. Rouil stood be
fore tbe fire place at some distanco from
the dogs, and mada no motion with
either teotor hands, nor did he advanoe
or retreat a singlo step. Tharo could
therefore be no communication through
tho motions of his body. The dogs
performed equally well when their backs
were turucd to thoir master, which for
bids tbe supposition that they were
guided by his eye. And the tones of
his voice, though encouraging and excit
ing, as .if ho were speaking to a chili,
rcvealod that oould be interpreted as a
method of communication. The only
supposition left was that tbe dogs might
be guided by the sense of smell ; but,
as M. Rouil stood at some distance from
the table, and could not have known be
forehand what words would be called
for, it was impossible that he should
have tonched tbe cards in aay way to
guide the dogs by tbe scent. The whole
performance sesuis inexplicable.? Trans

Southern l abor and Products.
The annual review of the trade and
commerce of Charleston, which has just
appeared iu tho journals of that city,
suggests some points conce rning the gen
eral condition of tho Southern States,
which are of considorable importanco to
the wholo country. South Carolina,
which dorivud ample revcuues from her
i own products before the war, is gradual
ly recovering from the heavy losses she
has been compelled to endure and the
trado of Charleston hose to an aggregate
of about *?70,000,000 last year?the
cotton receipts having been nearly one
huudroi] thousand bales in esojsa of
those of 1871*2, with a corresponding
ioorcaso in the receipts of lumber and
naval stores. Iu South Carolina, too,
n anul; ct iringindustii-isarebeginuingto
make headway, aud the outlook is en
couraging. Sea Island cotton, h. Wdver,
iu falling off, both in quantity a- d tjuali
ty. The Charleston News shows that
very genera! and serious losses on this
crop have been occasioned by the in
creased growth of other species and by
the better preparation of the long.stapl
ed qualities of other couatrics the result
being t> affect prices and to restrict the
cuhitntion of tho Sou Islands. It ap
pears also, (Vom a review of the wholo
Southern cotton field, that the probable
yield this year will bo below the limit of
1870 71?at the highest estimate, not
more.than 3,500,000 bales. In 1870
71 j the crop reached nearly a million
bales above this amount. Among the
causes assign d f >r this falling oiT, be
sides unfavorable weather, rust, and the
worm, is one which is very significant?
namely, that a larger acre was put under
cultivation than the labor nt command
could manage. The invenitablo conse
quence of this was, tb it when the heavy
Spring rains occurod, followed by an
unusual growth of gr.iss, a great part of
the Holds became choked, ninny of them
wcro abandoned, and the resultant loss
is considered to be fully equal to any
increase in the area. This illustrates
the defective methods which still pre
vail i:i the South; the great want oftb.it
section is labor, aud another want is
education in the uses aud the reward of
labor. South Curelina has taught hor
sisters, during tbe paat two years, some
useful lessons which she has herself
learned under circumstances of peculiar
difficulty; but that which R II. Hil%
rightly calls ' the material aud political
problem of tho South" is yet to be sol
ved. Mr. Hill, in bis recent speech at
the Jonesboro, Fair in Georgia, put his
counsel to the Southern people into half
a dozen crisp sentences, thus: '.Half
tbelabor and supplies employed in rais
ing 5,000,000 bales of cotton could bo
employed in raising supplies without re
duction in tbe value of the cotton crop
$1. Rut half this labor would raise
more tti n you need for supplies. You
could employ much ol it also, in enrich
ing your lands and inproving your prop
city in many ways. Thon you would
come to tho end of the year with your
cribs full of corn, your smoke kouse full
of meat, your family full of emilos,
yours elves f?ll of independence, and
your pockets full of money for invest
ment.?jN. T. Com. Advertiser.
The Perils of Good Looking
Trunks.
Smashing trunks is aot the only pas
time of depot attendants, it seems, nor is
smashing the only ill fate te which the
"Saratoga" is liable. There is another
way of making the traveler miserable.
Probably it is not necessary to say that a
hack driver has been, arrested for it, Sod
it is, therefore, a shrewd trick. The per
son in the game takes a short trip and
takes his trunk with him. It is well
known that trunks have no legs, and can
not run away; so, trusting in this fact,
the baggage master in the smaller places
are very apt to leave the trunks all in a
heap until the cars arrive. This is the
opportunity that the designing traveler
has in view. He steps up to see if his
trunk is all right. In looking it over
be takes its oheck off and puta it en the
bait looking trunk in tho lot, and puts
that trunk's check upon his pisee of bag
gage. Then he wanders away satisfied.
I On reaching his destination he takes the
I trunk to which his check entitles him
and drives off with it. Thero are, of j
course, all sorts of chances in the matter,
but the experiment always pays, since
the piece disposed of is only ballasted
and utterly valueless. The great difficul
ty, now that the game is exposed, is how
to put a check to it. People who have
anything valuable in this world, and who
take it about in trunks, can read this
and have something to worry over when
ever they make a trip on the cars.
Success in Life.
"You should constantly bear in mind
that nine tenths of ua are, from the very
nature and necessities of the world, born
to gain our livelihood by the sweat of the
brow. What reason, then, have ws to
presume that our children are not to do
the same? The path id steep and long.
Iudustry, care, skill, excellence in the
parent, lay the foundation of a rise under
more favorable circumstances for the
children. The children of those take
another rise, and by aud by descon lant'S
of the present laborers boom? gentle
men. This is the natural progross. It
is by attempting to reach the top at a
single leap tbat so much misery is pro
duced in tho world. The education
which is recommended consists in bring
ing children up to labor with steadiness
with care, and with skill?-to show tinm
how to do as many useful things as pos
sible; to teach them how/ to do all in the
best manner; to sot them an example of
industry, sobriety, cleanliness and neat'
ncss; to make all theso habitual to them
so they shall never be liable to fall in
the contrary; to let them always see a
good living proceeding from labor an d
thus remove from them the temptation
to get the goods of others by violent and
fraudulent moans.

who having long admired a colored
I widow living in the uoxt block above,
but btfing ufraid t > rcvc.il his passion,
wont to a white man and asked him to
write the lady a letter asking her hand
in marriage. The friend wrote, telling
the woman in a few briof lines that the ,
size of her feet was tho talk of the
neighborhood, aud asking hor if she
eon hi n't pare them down a little. The
name of the colored man was signed, and
j he was to call on her for an answer.
Subsequently the writer of the letter
met the negro limping along the street,
aud ssked him what the widow said.
I Tho man showed him a bloodshot eye, a

Tobacco and Liqaor.
Our countrymen spend mere messy
for ths luxuries than for the necessaries
of life. It is no woader that many
people are poor when their "bard ?Es
ings are wasted on indulgences which
do harm Instead of good. Bread is tbe
great staple of food, and $100,000,000
wers spent' last year for flour te feed oar
{ people. But tho tobacco sold in tbe
country for cbswiog and smoking end
snuff coat $250,000,000; about seven
dollars for every man, woman aad
child.
This is bad enough, bnt the east of
intoxicating liquors consumed in 1870, v
was, $G00.00O,000, averaging nearly
twenty dollars to svery man, woman aad
child. A very large amount of this is
used in poor families, and reduces them
to want and wretohodness.
