He needed a new one. His last dog u
to bark all night in the year, until, i
frantic desperation, wo would shy
boots and cologne bottles and fnrnil
at him. Bat he always went on wo
and iu the morniug, Gumbs would oe
calmly out, and gather np those miss
and carry them into the house. He
more than twenty pairs of our boots
slippers in his possession, besides ol
logs, and oakes of soap, and hair brue
and match safes, and towel raoke. Ant
never had the manliness to offer to |
them back. On the oontrary, he trai
that dog to sit by the frout gate, au<
seize us by the leg when we came
three or four times a week, appare
for the purpose of scouring some c
boots. Bnt we poisoned him one ni
and the next morning Gumbs threw
oaroosB over into our yard. We thrt
baok. GumbB returned it. We I
staid at home that day, and spent
time in handing the dog to one ano
over the fence. Then we hired a mi
stand there night and day, to return
deceased to Gumbs' yard. It wai
bilaratiug work. The corpse raj
traversed that fence six or seven t
sand times every twenty-four hours,
mast have been familiar with the ri
even if ho was dead. At last, he
away with so much handling, an<
the laBt day the men whiled awe
boors by flinging only the tail at
other. Our man at last buried th?
and resigned. And now Gumbs ha
a new dog. It will bo excessively s
lar if we do not fish fer that dog,
eyoning soon, with a codfish line <
piece of beef, and to run him up al
sudden to our window, and launch
into the sewer. No dog owned by n

THE TIMK TO ADVERTISE-The dull
season, SB it is called, IB the beet time
for remunerative advertising. When
people have most leisure, they read
most. At the watering places and nu?
merous Hummer resorts, where tourists
are congregated, the merchant who takes
advantage of his opportunity will not
fail to send his circular; or, if ho de?
pends upon newspapers mainly, he will
not pass by the quiet dullness of summer
without keeping bis business constantly
before tho people who have deserted the
towu for more cougeuiul life in the open
CJuntry. It pars to advertise judicious?
ly-it pays to advertise, if the truth ?B
told. It don't pay to stop advertising.
All you have spent is wasted, if by your
neglect to keep the public acquainted
with the advantages you can offer, they
discover tho usual enterprise wanting at
any time for auy reason in the manage?
ment of your business. "What's the
matter with A, B, C it Co., thoy dou't
advertise auy more. Guess they otu
played out," said a friend of ours, not
long since. Well, sure enough, wheti we
had our atteution called to the fact, it
did appear so to us, and it was uot long
before we read amoug the items of the
doy, "We regret to uuuouuce tho tem?
porary suspension of the well-known
Urtu of A, B, C & Co. Liabilities and
assets not yoi ascertained," etc. "By a
throat latch" wius the race. Keep a
little ahead; don't yul tired, for it is just
here the applause is uguinst you, and
once the popular current sets in adverse?
ly, you may "throw up tho sponge," for
you are no longer counted among the
probable winners of the race! Intelli?
gent, persistent effort; truthful advertis?
ing in season und out of season, fair
dealing, small profits, once price strictly
adhered to, and the terms C. O. D. to
all, will surely result in success to a retail
establishment.-Baldwin's Monthly.
All the lands in Texas, unless they
have beeu purchased by individuals
from the State, or were owned by thom
prior to the independence of the repub?
lic iu 1888, are the property of the State,
and have beeu held as thu heritage of the
people. As these Unds, which include
some of the best cotton lund in the
world, were held for actual settlers, to
whom they were sold ou very moderate
terms, they were attracting an immense
emigration to Texas, and formed, in fact,
thu foundation of its wealth. Real or
fraudulent Mexican grants have always
been plentiful iu Texas, us iu California,
and the assemblage of depredators form?
ing the late Legislature passed au Act
conferring tipoti the thirty-five District
Courts of the State, and ou any ono of
them, final jurisdiction for claims of
land under thu Mexican grants. As
these courts are in thu hands of men an
disreputable and unscrupulous as the
Legislature itself, thc present probability
is that the public lauds will be divided up
among the scalawags and carpet-baggers
iu tracts from 100,OOO to 1,000,000 acres
each, and it is well known that this law
was passed in order to give these courts
powers to allow fictitious claims. Tins,
observes the Philadelphia Ane, is the
work of the frieuds of General Graut, the
men upheld iu all their acts by the
power of bia administration. They are
to be allowed to rob the State as a re?
ward for political services in bis behalf.
An ad ni u ist ration which depends ripon

THICKS IN AI.IJ TRADES BUT OURS-A
case of enterprise on the part of a Lou?
don newspaper reporter has recently I
come to light, which reflects moro credit
upon the industry and ingenuity of its
originator than on his honesty. Our
readers may possibly remember reading
accounts of a discovtry made in London
in 1857 of a carpet-bag containing hu?
man remains, which disoovery caused
great excitement and furnished material
for numerous articles uuder the title of
"Tho Waterloo Bridge Mystery." All
the detectives of London were at work
on the case, and ull were thoroughly
bullied. Lately the matter bas been
brought into notice again by a British
soldier stationed in India, avowing him?
self to be tbe person who threw the sack
with its oontents into the river; but as
bis story was found to disagree with the
statements published in the newspapers
at the time of the discovery, it was con?
jectured tbut the soldier bad lied about
the affair in the hope of being sent borne
to England. The revival of the subject,
however, bas bad tbe effect of bringing
out a letter from an old sub-editor, who
writes to the Birmingham Gazette that
the whole affair was the result of a
s?beme concocted by an impecunious
penny-a-liner in order to supply mate?
rial for an exciting newspaper article.
The human remains contained in the
sack were procured by tho reporter from
a dissecting room, and the Back was let
down from Waterloo Bridge by a confe?
derate, who was disguised as a woman.
The trick succeeded, the originator of
tbe scheme was first on tho ground with
the news, and all London was sat agog
by the rumors which gained currency in
regard to the "horrible mystery," which
has never been explained uutil now.
A census taker in California reports

PUBLICANS.-In Roc ki n g bum Couuty,

towns in this Couuty that show conclu?
sively that more thau 500 who voted for

thirty, in South Newmarket, tho num?
ber is fixed ut about sixty, in North

there are over seventy-five who have
openly declared for Greeley and Brown.
Other towns show a proportionately
lurge number of recruits for the Liberal
parties. From Stafford and Belknap
Counties, wo have equally encouraging
reports. Mr. Daniel Marcy has just
visited Bumstead and other towns in
that vicinity, uud reports that almost
every mun he met told him of several
well kuown Republicans who have de?
