[Bill Laments the I ?j Can Atlanta Co, Old Laddie ia dead. Our'good old doir. Wo ne'er .shall see hita more. II : died niel Sunday at 10 o'cluck; we buried him at jt. Laddie waa seven teeu years old. We raised him from puppyhood to dog hood sod ?ll those years he seemed like one of the family. He loved us all aod we loved him, for he was affec tionate, good mannered, dignified, courageous and very handsome. He """", sought- s fight- with ftoot-her deg, and never declined one and always came off thc viotor. His face and neck and feet and part of his tail were white; his hair long and glossy and his eyes were amber or rather a brilliant yellow sapphire. In truth, he was a very handsome dog and came from well-bred stook, his grandsire having been sold for $500 in Montgom ery. He was known aa a shepherd dog-a Sootoh collie-and knew his duties and qualities by intellectual in heritance. We did not have to train him to go after the sheep or the cattle and bring them home. When I left thc farm and moved to town he seemed lost and unhappy for awhile, but soon adapted himself to the little grand children and followed them around, and daring his last' illness, when he couldent walk, it would please him for mc to lift him up to the sandbed, where the children were playing. Thc smaller the ohildren the stronger his love for them. They were the sheep and he was the good shep herd. We did not send his carcass to the potter's field. I dug a shapely grave down in the corner of the garden, then lifted his dead body gently into the wbeclbarrow and rolled it' to the place. Thc wheelbarrow was the hearse. 1 was the horse and five of the grand children were the escort. When all was ready my wife and daughters came down to the funeral and we buried Laddie and mounded up his grave and placed a board with his name and age upon it at thc head and another at the foot. The little chil dren pluoked pome green asparagus nearbyaand some Texas pinks and roses and slowly and sadly we went away as mourners. Dogs have a curious and interesting history. To ancient times they were under J the ban of Jewish contempt and were pro nounced and denounoed ad unclean by the Mosaic law. Not a good word is said of them in all sortpture. "The price of a dog is an abomination to the Lord," said Moses. Job saith: "I disdained to set their fathers with the dogs of my flock." "Am I a dog?" "Beware of dogs." "For without are dogs and soeerers and idolaters and murderers and whosoever* Koveth and inaketh a lie." But surely they must have had some good reputable dogs, or they would have killed off the brcod. It was the mean,thievish, trifling dogs that gave a bad name to all the race, just as they do now? Cuvior says that dogs in general are the most contemptible of all domestic animals, hut that the improved speoies are the most useful and complete con quest ever made by man. All their faculties are adaptad tn proOt. and pleasure and protection. Barbarous nations owe much ot their bet ter nature to the possession of the dog. Culvier says that the principal and best speoies are indigenous tpj{ certain countries. Such as the shepherd to Arabia, the Esquimaux and Newfound land to Siberia, St. Bernard to the Alps, etc. But dogs have got mixed sad crossed into ?il sorts of forms and fashions, like the Cubans in Cuba. They now range from the little, pug ?nd rat terrier aod bcnohleg flee, ?p to the boar hound of Germany and the mastiff and drover's dog; of Southern Europe. Pointers and setters and spaniels and the long-eared hound have come in later by training and breeding, but most of the different kind of dogs are degraded mongrels. But a dog is a dog and every man and boy loves his own and will defend bim. "Love mo, love my dog," is a Proverb 350 years old. Alexander Stephens was asked what was the se cret of his attachment toa dirty little snarling dog that followed him around. ?e replied, "Well.v I hardly know, bat I reckon I love the little dog be? c?use he loves rae.' * That waa reason enough. Ho had beither wife nor children to love him. and sb he con - pirated on the dog, but still his 'rienda thought ho might have chosen * more attractive one. ' ^ The poorer a man is and tho more ??endless, the stronger is his attach ment tp his dog, and. the dog seems to Tcciprocate and will not desert his baster. A nigger's hound is as hap py and contested SB a fine lady's J^le. Pope, says: ?-*fi?! tie p?or Indian whoso untutored S LETTER. . )emise of Faithful ine. nsUtution. \ mind, Sees God ia clouds and hears Him in the wind, But thinks admitted to-the heavenly sky, His faithful dog shall bear him com pany." We have had but five dogs in fifty years at our house and they were all good dogo, faithful dogs, and loved the children. Of course, I don't in clude the yaller pup that we had not long ago and were raising to take Lad* die's placo. Ho was an ignomiuous fraud. He Stole everything that was in sight and in reach. One day the pantry door was left open and he car ried off half of a boiled ham. He stole sgg8 and butter and carried off hats ?nd books and bonnets and kept us continually alarmed.' One day our old peach man, who lives sixteen miles sway, camelup with a load of fruit and [ gently persuaded him that he need ed a smart dog, so be tied bim io his wagon and hauled him home. I asked bim tbe other day how the purp was setting on. "Fust rate," he said. "When I got him home that night I turned him loose and fed him, and the next morning he beat me up and run six chickens before breakfast and 3bawed on them. I give him 9 decent licking and reformed him. That night he followed the boys to the evo ods and caught a 'possum and he's Setting to be a fine dog." He dident have room enough here in town to ex pand. AB a general rule women are not fond of dogs. They prefer oats. The dogs are in the way and take up too much room, and are always scratch ing for fleas, and when bad weather somes they traok up the house and want to lie by the fire. My old friend Foote told me that he and his old 'oman had lived together Sfty-two years and there was never a 3ros8 word or a hard thought between them about anything excepting dogs. "I was fond of dogs," said he, "and my wife despised 'em and just as soon as they followed mc into the house she would take tho broom or something und maul 'em out, especially in muddy weather, for she was a powerful nest housekeeper and I wasent." "How many dogs did you keep, Mr. Foote?" "Well, you See in my younger days [ was po wer fol fond of fox hunting and I kept four good fox dogs most of the time and then I had a squirrel dog and a rabbit dog and a 'possum dog and a pinter. That's only eight. That's reasonable, I thought, but my wife dident and ehe used to let me know it sometimes." But our good old dog ls dead and we all mist; him. Nobody ever struck him a lick, or had a cross word to him. He was a dog, but be was a gentleman in ail his deportment. ^ wonder where I can get a good youDg dog to raise to take his place. The winter is coming on and as soon as tho chicken thieves find out that Laddie is dead they will come prowling around. Higher eduoation basent stopped the niggers from stealing chickens. BILL ABP. ? -- tm ? PI It Happened in a Bros Store. "One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of couRh medioine that I did not have in 8took," says Mr. G. R. Grandin, the popular druggist of Ontario, N. T. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. 1 said to her that I oould freely recommend Chamberlain's Gough Bemedy, and that she could lake a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if she did notfind it worth the money to bring back tbe bottle and I wenld refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady carno back in company with a friend in need of a cough medioine and advised her to buy s bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. I oonsider that a very good recommendation for the remedy."

CHARLESTON, OCT. 20.-The editors )f all sorts of journals, teohnioal, in instri?? ted political, have assured .he Exposition Company of their mon )ordiai sympathy with the groat pro* jeot and of their wish to be helpful n promoting its success. The atti tude of the press towards the under aking appears in the following ex tracts, which are made from the mass )f correspondence received by the de partment of promotion and publicity: Tho Architects aod Builders Jour ?al, of Baltimore, which is devoted to .he interests of architecture, build og and real estate, says: "We are ;rateful for the matter sent us. As ire circulate largely through the South, we will in tho future ' devote lonsiderable spaoo to the exposition, hough thc mutter wc "aun luu?t io hat relating to its buildings and archi ve ts." Tho editor of the Atlanta Journal lays: "I arr deeply interested in this ;reat enterprise, and will endeavor to dd it through the columns of the Jour isl." The Augusta Herald aod the Ashe ville Citizen both assure tho exposi tion company that they will take great deaouro in doing anything ([within eason to promote so laudable an en erprise; and the Baltimore Amerioan lectores that it will be pleased to end its aid to the success of the ex cition. The Boston Herald "will be glad to lev?te as much spaoo as possible to he South Carolina exposition;" and he managing editor of the Chicago Chronicle states that it will give him rfejasure to make use from time to imo of matter relating to the under atiog. The Commercial Advertiser, of New fork, "will be glad to do what it can o promote the South Carolina Inter tato and West Indian exposition;" ,nd the Commercial Tribune, of Cin innati, declares that it "will be glad o assist in any way it can in the pro eot on hand." Thc Chicago papers are all very rilling to do their share in helping he enterprise along. The Chicago Tribune in expressing its pleasure in urinticg matter about the exposition rom time to time, aod ibo Chicago Times-Herald saying that it "will be ricased to co-operate, and do all it an to promote the enterprise. ' * *it is hoped that we can be of lonsiderable service to you in push ng the project to success.'' The editor nf the Florida Times Jnion aud Citizen cordially declares 'It will give me pleasure to do all in ny power to advanoo the interests of roar commendable enterprise," and, n fact there is hardly, a newspaper vhioh has not heartily responded to he request which has been made them o assist in promoting the exposition >rojeot. "We will do all we canfor you," lays the Indianapolis Press; "We ihall be pleased to help your enter >rise ia every way is our power, * lays the New York Mail and Express, vhilo the Manufacturer's Record of baltimore, through its editor, Mr. Hiohard H. Edmunds, expresses itself n the following pleasant way: "It is ilmost unnecessary to assure you that he Manufacturers' Record will do ?verything in its power tb further the ,ucccsB of the Charleston exposition. ' * *I am greatly delighted at the >rogress that is being made and feel ure that your exposition will prove a rery great success." The Morning Herald of Baltimore esponds with equal friendliness: 'The Herald will be very glad to dc ill within its power to aid in the work if making tho South Carolina Inter data and West India exposition a ucees?. The Herald has for some rears devoted its best efforts to thc levelopment of the* South, and ie herefore in hearty sympathy with thc ;reat enterprise which has been or ;anizcd by the business men of Char* eston. If we can serve you at ans inie, piesse let me know." From the Morning News of Savan tah comes the assurance: "We will, oi ourse, do whatever we can to assisi he exposition;" from the News anc )b s er vor of Raleigh, N. 0., : "Il ronld give us great pleasure io oo ?perate with you fully ?nany way thai rou may desire," and from the Nash rille American: "You may oount oi he Amerioan doing its foll share to rard making the exposition a success.' These are only a few of the ver* nany hearty expressions of good wil rhich reach the department of pro notion and pabV.o?? almost every day 'rom the newspapers publised io otho: {tates. The responses ?of the Soutl karolina newspapers have been no les luuouraging, as may be seen from th 'oliowing quotations from letters bl ile in the department. Tho editor of the Anderson Intel igenser writes: "You may count o he hearty oo-opreation of tho Intclli gencer in any way possible in advene og the interest of the exposition com >any? The exposition deserves am mould have the co-operation of ever paper in thc Slate." Thc Clinton Gazette says: "1 gives mo pleasure to ssy that 2 ?ill do all I eau to help make the exposi tion, in which we should all feel tho deepest concern, a suooess." The Daily Reocrd of Columbia: "The Record will do anything it can to help the exposition." Tho Journal and Review of Aiken: "We oanassure you that the Journal and Review will do all it can to advance the interest of the exposi tion." The editor of The Lantern, Chester: "I will gladly do what I can to help on the enterprise." The editor of Tho Southern Chris ti tai AdvofiatCj Colombia: It will bc a pleasure to assist the exposition. * Tho enterpriso will not only bo a benefit to Charleston but to tho State. I would he glad to help it for the city alono, but of course its larger purpose makes it int*^?Nfeing to more people." Tho Southern Presbyterian: "Wish tho exposition all success." The manager of the Florence Daily T?Q1C8 and Weekly Times-Messenger: "I am very much interested in thc enterprise and want tho people to take full advantage of the opportunity afforded to advertise through the ex position." Witb hardly an exeeption such is tho spi 'it of every letter received by the department of promotion and pub licity from the editors of newspapers within and without the State.
