Mary Rt i Cigar giri who v.o. br.cadv.ay ana lived One Sunday mornn, an. was seen iatejr ia? ccacn at the Astn? strange man. About . tte body was found in .: er^o.pposite the St v\.. . Hoboken. Poe was In. delphia at the time, but ?? York papers?at t a were several flashy S b a New York?and tro.n the o? these Sunday pape^ ue :>?.. celebrated Marie Ro jo . scene of the murder .n fc'arls ) O' New York. That st r;. and fh?c Murders in the Rue Mor;- .e. two stories that made Poe t'-*: o :; both continents an 1 e^t b is ?; i9 reputation as a wr.ter of detec Ive taies. H s theory was that a young n"\\ii olhcer nad gone with th s girl t > hoboken, to tin Elysian Fie ds wh b was not unlike the Coney Island of to-day, but witfcou its large bulidings. where people went on Sunday to or:nk beer. Poe's theory, as brougnt out in bis story or Marie Ropet. was that the young naval officer had as sau'ted the girl and choked her in a small boat that he had previously moored on the Jersey s.de, and that he rowed down the river, threw her oody overboard and escaped to b:s vessel in the "ower harbor. In justi fication of this theory Poe describes marks on her back as haviDg been the imprint of the ribs sf the boat v.he-e she lay before being thrown overboard. He also noted the tact that a boat was found floating rn the bay about where the Liberty Monument now stands. That was generally accepted as the solution ol the mystery. Superintendent Byrnes, in his book on "The Criminal Ca^es of America," takes up the Mary Rogers case and puts another construction on the case?that she was accompa? tied by a dark man wh i came from ?Philadelphia and murdered her and then escaped. The giri's body was found in tbs river nearly nude, but lir a thicket on the shore of Hobo ken. arranged w.th very dramatic effect. wer<* found her belongings??at. shawl. &c,?to give the impression-that the murder bad been done there. Som? four or live years ago, writes William M. Clemens. I went to Hoboken and looked into this case. 1 found, fifty yean after, that there were fi\e liv ing witnesses. 7 found one eld gen tleman who was a constable in 1843 and endeavored to make an arrest in 1 the case 1 foun 1 there was a road house run by an old woman and her two sons, two rough, tough boys of the Bowery, type, and it was proved by these witnesses that this girl bad been seen at the roadhout-:e. justify ing the theory both of Poe and Byrnes. But, going over the news paper files, I found a small account ot the finding or a man's body in tha river off Fulton street without coat or hat. well dressed, as a dandy of thel tlay dressed; and in further investi gating the case and talking with these old people. I proved to my sat isfaction that both the man and the woman were killed in the road hous3 tor their money and both thrown in to tbe boat, and the girl'* apparel placed in the thicket to attract at tention.. One of these witnesses was arrested on suspicion at the time, and afterwards moved West and di? appeared. The other was drowned. The Bachelors' Excuses. * At a June wedding breakfast in Plttsburg, the bachelors were^called upon to give their reasons for re maining single. The following were among tbe reasons given: "I am like tte frog in the fable, who, though he loved tbe water, would not jump into *.he well because he could not jump out again." "1 aa too selfish, and honest enough to admit it." "i paeier. on the one hand. liberty, refreshing sleep, the opera, midnight supters, quiet seclus on, dreams, c - gars. a bank account and club to? on the other hand?disturbed rest, cold meat, baby linen, EOOthlng syrup, rocking horsee, bread pudding and empty pockets."

The Training of Dogs. Nowaday there is a groa' cra7? tor acting dogs?dogs which come o J.rt.e stasis**, and do Ui'mrs by them I selves, in every case the tra'her be gmp by leading tbe dog through 'b rjovenwrt<* !)<? ha?- to make, and a each h'sscn the trainer does ( v<u>tl>* tne same thing in.tin* same way a?( uses tbe same words in giving c command. *A dog is taught to beg by beinf first backed up Into a corner when be has two walls to'rest agains'. Hp is taught to wa;k on bis bind logs by by o<*ing led about in this po> tiot while the trainer supports his fron; legs, Jumping is a very easy trie! to teach. The trainer begins b* holding a suck .3 low down that tin d?g cannot walk under it. |*y fir grees tne stick is raised until the do,t is compelled to jump In order to ge' over it. and directly be does so be V well rewarded. Performing dogs rp ceive most of their food in tin shape of rewards f'jr good conduct. ICvery now and then one hears o an outcry against the cruelty n teaching dogs to perform tricks. Tin ?utcry may be justified Ic the case of dogs that are taught to jump ovei very high obstacles, because that b about the only kind cf a trick which can lie taught wrh a whip. It b possible to "whip a dog" over a high jump. The audience does not sef the whipper because the do^ start? irs ?-run up" out or sight at one side of the stage. A whl|? is worse tcan useless to tbe trainer who is teaching a dog to do a trick hi which the animal appears to thinii. A dog Is taught to apparently dis tinguish between colors by lea mine a sncret signal givei, u? h:m by bis trainer when he gets to tne desired color. Sometimes the signal is the snapping or the lingers done very softly, and in ? way not noticed by the audience. Sometimes the sig nal is even less noisy than that, and consists in the clicking of the nails of the thumb emi first finger. Cucc tram a dog ? pick a thing up when he hoars Mir1 s'gnai lo do so. and you have taught him a variety of tricks such as adding up a sum, telling tne time by looking at a watch and so or. hJlephunt vs. Railroad.

The engineei sounded his wi tev.e bul the elephant trumpeted loudly, lowered its head and charged the oncoming tr^in. Sr> great was the impact that the ele /.bant was killed on the spot and the engine derailed and badly damaged The elephant's tusks were smashed off, but when a search was made foi them they could not be found.
