THOMPSON’S DOG JERRY. N y W L RO A .‘,,‘;_.(:. ~About one hundred miles from Mobile, on the banks of the Tombigbee, there lived an old planter named Thompson. Mr. Thompson was a great: lover of horses, and his plantation was headquarters for lovers of the canine race for many miles around. Mr. ’ Thompson had a son: named William —we will call him Bill, because every‘body é€lse called him by that name. Bill was about 14 years of age when the war broke out, and it very much interfered with his father’s plans concerning his education. However, the war euded, and he was sent to finish his studics at theUniversity of Virginia.: Bill remained at the University for abeut four years, and at the expira-| tion of that time returned to his home., "The o'd gentleman was very proud of Bill—indeed he had to be. He had grown. to be a tall, elegantly formed man, of graceful manners and genteel appearance. : B . In his joy at his son’s return, Mr. Thompson had provided an elegant repast, and the elite of society were in‘vited to weleome Bill home. The entertainment wus numerously attended and the occasion promised to be the one of the season, for the old gentleman and Bill were really great favorites. The old mansion was thronged with youth and beauty, and to the merry music of the dance the hours glided swiftly away. . / Bill 'was congratulated over and over, but the many congratulations he received occasioned the drinking of more whisky than he could carry, and his part for receiving was brought to a close: by getting helplessly drunk, in which condition he was found under the table. : ¢ The old gentleman, however, smothered his resentment, taking into consideration that this might ‘have been an accident, and that it would not again occur; but this hope was soon to be dispelled, for as other fetes followed, at other places, it was found that Bill was too fond of whisky and that heregularly came to grief at each entertainment. - ; | Mr. Thompson was nota man to very long tolerate such action on his son’s part; and, ene morning after cne of Bill’s exercises, he spoke to him concerning the matter. Bill could: not deny 'it, and there was a poor chance for an apology. :

The old gentleman Lecame enraged at Bill’s: silence, and thus addressed hims. S : v

“Bill, I have raised you. You are my only son, my only child. You have disgraced me and my name. 1 had tondly hoped you would be an honor to me and it. I’ll have no more of this. You can remain’ here if you want to; and this may be your home., You can have a horse to ride and I will clothe you decently ; but,” he added with emphasis, “you shall hot hereafter get drunk on my money. If you get drunk you shall either earn your money or stéal it.” , It was in vain that Bill tried to apologize. The old gentleman would take no apology. The fiat had gone forth, and however dry his throat might be, Bill knew there would be no retraction of his father’s words." So he concluded to be a temperance man, but as.is usual in such cases, though the spirit was willing, the flesh was weak. ° \

Bill’s throat seemed to be very dry and annoying, and at last he made up his mind that he must ‘calculate on someplan whereby he coald get a drink of whisky. - * In some of his old readings Bill remembered the fable of the*WiseDogs,” «nd determined to profit by it. Meet~ ing his father one evening, about a month after he had received the preceding lecture, he thus addressed him : “Father, do you know anything about the colony of Yankees down here at the mouth of the river. ;

“No, I don’t,” was the reply, and a gruif one, too, for the old man didn’t like the Yankees and didn’t like to hear anything about them. :

“Well, father, they must be a queer lot! They’ve got a school down there.” “Yes,” thundered his father, “schools for niggers.” j -“Well,” replied Bill, “Jet us give the devil his due; they teach white children,too® . - v

“Yes,” said the old man, “they teach lies—they teach them lies.” “Well, I suppose they do,” replied Bill, “but what I was about to ‘speak of is that they have a school for dogs.” “For what ?” ; “A school for dogs! They teach degs to talk!” : : : :*Come, now, Bill, if you are fool énough to believe such stuff, don’t try to make as big a fool of me. Teach dogs to talk! they may teach them to steal.. Ishouldn’t wonder if they did. but don’t tell me about this teaching dogs to talik!” : i “Now, father, I respect every word you say,” replied Bill, “but I am proud as a gentleman to believe what gentlemen say; and I haye heard several talking about it. Really,lknow nothing of the facts; but as I said, I heard several speaking about it and I believe it. I was down town the other day, and your dog Jerry was with me, and a gentleman from up in Tennessee noticed him as we were speaking of the 'school. I asked him how long it would take a dog like Jerry to learn to talk, and he said a dog as knowing as Jerry would learn in two months. Some dogs will learn in three months; and some’ will learn in six months; and he said a good many never would learn.” : ST + Bill’s praises of Jerry did not gé>unnoticed. If there was anything that ‘the old gentleman did. fully believe, it was certainly that there.never was another dog that' knew as much as Jerry. The conversation for this time terminated, but. Bill felt that his father would mention the subject again, and he was not mistaken. a ' A few days after the above dialogue, the old gentleman met Bill and thus addressed him: “Bill, do you really believe that Jerry could learn totallee? o G S S

“I certainly believe it,” replied Bill. “Doyouknow how much they charge down there?” v

“Well,” replied Bill, “they charge twenty-five dollars admission,and then ‘ ten dollars a month for board and tuition for whatever time it takes.” | * Bill, how much would it cost for. 'you to take Jerry down there and put him to school ?” S Bill figured up theamount and came to the conclusion that about seventyfive' dollars would defray the necessa~ ry expenses, ‘and so apprised his fath-. efy NG : ft “Well, now, Bill, the Osage is coming down the river this afternoon; you get ready and take Jerry down there and put him to school; if you find ‘thie school all right leave him there; if'mt_ﬁyouhﬂng%g’{ n home, 1 wouldn’t sell him for a thousand dollars, and

if any dog can learn to talk, Jerry ‘}; the one. --~ T N Bill was not loag on board before he had the whisky, so much longed for; and by eight o’clock in the afternoon he was drunk as a lord, and already got into a fight. Poor Jerry, seeing his master rather roughly handled, took -a share in it, and biting one of the parties engaged was quickly set upon and knocked over the side of the boat, and falling just in front of. the paddle wheel, was struck by it and instantly killed. ;

Bill did not discover the loss of the dog until the steamer had arrived at Mobile; and it was to that place that ‘he had originally determined to go. His astonishment and sorrow at the ‘loss of his favorite dog were very great; and it moreover necessitated all the strategy Bill was possessed of to bring- his original plans to anything like a successful ending. , ITe had originally intended to take the dog to Mobile, and on returning te his home declare to his father that bie had been misinformed, that the scl,]o,pg ‘was a-humbug and all the pretepded teachers knaves; and he well knew that so great was his father’s dislike for anything Yankee that he would escave without a very severe crossexamination. The Killing of the dog had upset all Bill’'s reckoning and he was oompelled to 'frame a new story which, as the sequel will show, hesuccessfully did. : |

After remaining about a week at Movbile, and having pretty near exhausted his cash in hand, Bill started for home. - His father met him at the landing and asked him many questions concerning Jerry’s. chances of learning to talk. Bill declared that there :was no doubt of his ability to learn; that he had seen a good many dogs not half as smart as Jerry who could tatk 'quite well and the result was that the old gentleman was much elated with theidea of possessing such a wonderful being as a dog that could talk. . - :

Before the end of two months, which Bill had declared would be sufficient to give Jerry a decent education, Mr. ‘Thompson had become quite impatient to hear concerning Jerry’s progress, and Bill had written several letters, by his father’s orders, to ascertain how the dog was getting along, but strange as it seemed no reply was receiv‘ed/‘to any of them; and at last Bill wasZordered to get ready and go down and see’ about Jerry and bring him home, if only for a visit. Bill again went down the river on the same steamer by which he went on: his previous trip, with very much the same results, so far as his conduct was concerned, until he returned home. This time his father did not meet him at the landing to Bill’s great re:«f, but soberly waited for him at the house.

The old gentleman’s disappointment can be better imagined than described, when Bill came into the house alone; for he had not the slightest doubt that his favorite dog, fully informed on subjects .in general, would soon delight his ears with a hearty *“‘good evening” in place of his accustomed familiar bark. v

“Bill,” said his father, “where’s Jer-

Bill made no. reply, “I say, Bill, where’s Jerry ?” “Jerry’s dead, father.” “Dead ?” o P “Yes, dead.” < : “How did he die?” - “1 killed him,” coolly replied Bill. “You killed him!- You killed Jerry 2’ ‘ “Yes, father, I killed him.” | “You rascal—"’ v “Hear me, father,” interrupted Bill. “Let me tell my story, and then if you think I did wrung you can abuse me, and do and say what you like. “I went down to the school,” continued Bill, “and I was there all thro’ examination. Jerry could talk as well as I can. They said he wasthe smartest dog theyever saw. Wecamedown aboard the steamer and Jerry sat up in a chair and as the ladies whom he had seen before came one by one into the cabin, Jerry would say ‘good morning, Mrs. Smith,’ or ‘good morning, Mrs. Jones,’ and he looked as stately as a judge.” ¢ “Well, father, at last’ we started away from the landing. Perhaps we had got a half mile away, and the ladies were looking out of the windows, and Jerry was still sitting up in his chair, when all of a sudden he turns round to me and says: “Bill, how are you, my boy ?” 1 says “I’'m all right.” e “How’s the old man ?” he says. “All right,” I replied. . “How’s the old woman ?” says Jerry..

“Now, father, I didn’t like to hear him speak about you as he did when he called you the old man—l couldn’t stand it very well, but when le spoke that way about mother I couldn’t bear it at all; still I dide’t-say anything, only to say she was well.” “Just then he looked around, and speaking right loud, says he, “oh, Bill, Dill, does the old man hug and kiss the cook as much as he-'used to?” I didn’t reply, and he kept on, “Bill,” says he, “I've seen the old man kiss the cook, Louisa, I mean, more than fifty times; and I'll tell the old woman when I get home. Won’t she give it to the old man ?” “Father,l couldn’t stand it! It was right before the ladies. I got up and I took Jerry by the.throat; says I, “You lying dog, I'll choke you to death ; this comes of your cursed Yankee education. I might have known they’d teach you to slander your friends.” . “Well, father, the villain tried to bite me. I had him by the throat and —I doun’t know what I was going to do with him, I was so enraged, but I carried him on the deck, when he tried to bite me worse than ever. I ‘went to kick him somehow--I was too angry to recollect just how—he must have jumped overboard, and the wheel struck him and killed him.”

“Now, father, I have done. If you blame me I must bear it, but I was really glad he was dead when I came to myself, for I thought wiat trouble he would make with his lies.” il

. The old gentleman was pale as a ghost, : “Bill,” said he, “you did right. I ought to have known tnat he'd lie if he could talk. Bill, here’s a hundred dollare. Don’t go and get drunk on ‘this money now; but, Bill, don’t you say anything about this you have told. Jerry was a mighty smart dog, but somehow,” he added, in an undertone, “I always had an idea that that l dog was watching me!” ot 3 Tl & G — e The Ligonier BANNER declares in favor of Judge Gooding for Secretary of State on thedemocratie ticket.

‘general ruin and unprecedented sufdering on the industrial class; and ‘#llso believing that thorough organization and unity of action may induce Bhose in power to take such steps as Wwill avert calamitous results, call up#n those, regardless of political affili#tion, who will unite for independent #Bction 'to select one delegate in each Congressional District, and afterward, By proper authority, two delegates for ‘each State at large to meet in national convention in the city of Toledo, on the 22nd day of February, 1878, there to take such action as wisdom may dicfate.” Upward of one hundred names are appended to the call, prominent among them leing those of &;ﬂﬁdﬂ% Phillips, of Massachusetts; ter Cooper, of New York; Thomas' D.

oy . Suppose A Case. Indiana Farmer. : - Suppose at a certain time red wheat and white wheat were worth the same price per bushel. / Suppose at that time you became indebted to A. B, the miller, and he agreed with you to take pay after harvest in 100 bushels of wheat, “either red or white,” each being of the same value at the time of the agreement; and suppose before harvest and pay day arrive A. 8,, discovering that the farmers are growing more red wheat than white, and that white wheat is going to bring the better price; and suppose he quietly: draws his pen through the word “red” in'the agreement,and when pay day arrives presents the note-to you and demands payment in white wheat only. How would A.B.,the miller, differ from the bondholders who took their bonds payable in the coin of the country, gold or silver, and now demand that payment be made in gold only? Who would be guilty of fraud, you (the people) for refusing to pay in white wheat (gold) or A. 8., (the bondholders) for striking ‘out the word ‘“red” (procuring the passage of the silver demonetizabion bill) from the’agreement ? 1 S - BBS— The Free Trade Blubber. Extract from New York Sun editorial, Lt T Free trade in the sense' of the doclrinaires is an Impracticagility, with an enormous public debt, fhe interest on a large part of which is to be paid to bondholders abroad, and to be collected from dutieson imports at home. But improved trade is practicableand attainable, without any violent crusade against domestic man ufactl&res. Since 1862 more than one hundred tariff and revenue bills have been passed through Congress often only to favor monopolies, and with no regards to the public at large. - They were so many additional burdens loaded on the back of the taxpayer.” Now it is proposed to cut down the number of articles subject to duty from more than two thousand to about four hundred, designating the duty on each ! when practicable, the non-enumerated articles to enter free. Specific duties are to be levied as the rule, and ad valorem, under which fraud had flourished, only when the specific system cannot be satisfactorily applied.

A Timely Suggestion.

The following dialogue is reported as having taken place between a game: keeper and a patient looking through the iron grate of a French lunatic asyTum: A .

Patient—“ That’s a fine horse;what’s it worth ?” i

Keeper—" Five hundred dollars.” Patient—“ And what did that gun CUSt ?" 2 1 -

Keeper—*‘One hundred dollars.”

Luther Benson’s Latest Trouble.

Luther Benson has another trouble on hand. Besides his occasional falls from intemperance, it seems he has been up to a little literary swindle.— ‘Mr. A. E. Sinks, of Indianapolis, an author, 1s on the eve of bringing a civil suit against Luther, to compel paymenf. for certain literary works performed by complainant for defendant, part of which is writing “Fifteen Yeare in Hell,” a book heretofore attributed to the authorship of Mr. Benson, and from which he reaped considerable pecuniary benefit. Letters establish without a doubt the authenticity of Mr. Sinks’ claims to be the anthor of that work, and the suit -is quite likely to be made exiremely _unpleasant for this great apostle of ‘temperance.—Elkhart Review. .

I have just ﬁnishejcreading‘Senator Voorhees’ great speech. In my opinion, the word great d%gs not sufficiently qualify'it. I think it is the greatest speech ever made|on the subject of finance. It should be read by every laboring man in the §nitedStates; and those who ean not read should have some one to read it for them. Indeed, I think it would be a 4 good plan for the voters of ewery| school district to meet in their school houses.and select their best reader%o read it, while the rest comment upon it. It will require every western an to put his shoulder to the Wheel in order to roll off the yoke of tyranny placed on us by the moneyed power.

Bear With Each Other.

Times aré terrible hard, and money very scarce. Many honest men. are unable to pay their debts, becausethey cannot collect what isdue them, or because they have had bad luck or made short crops. Those they owe should wait with them, if possible.. Sueing them entails costs they are not able to bear. They would pay it if they could, and if you get judgment and sell their property at sheriff’s sale it will not bring one-fourth its value, and probably ruin them forever, Wait on thein if you can--give them a chance to make another crop, or to collect what is due them, and they will pay prineipal and interest. - But, there are many debtérs who are not tryiug/to pay their debts—who study how to keep from paying them instead of how to pay them. Such men ought to be sued—ought to be made to pay.: They are a curse to the country, and the sooner we get rid of them the better. 'They buy every thing they can get on credit—make false representations iu order to get credit—and then put their wits to. work to keep the man who credits them out of hismoney. -« = - . Merchants, lawyers,doctors,mechanics and farmers, who have debts due them, generally know: who is and who is not honest, and they should bear with the honest ones as long as possible.+—Connersville Examiner. -

Let Justice and Equity Prevail.

Selinsgrove (Pa.) Times. Sl - Democrats as a party -do not favor any scheme of internal improvements. by the Government; yet, after the Government has furnished means and granted lands to two Northern Pacific railroads, it seems scarcely -just and equititable that the:people of the.South should not be regarded with equal favor when they ask for the same aid in the construction of only one Pacific road. . When we look at the guestion in this light, we feel as-if justice demanded that the Government shonld treat both sections of the country alike. Besides, the Union Pacific rvad is a monopoly without- a competitor, and a competitor would be a wholesome restraint upon it. “But no one should be allowed at the same time to be a stockholder or bondholder in both roads. They shbould always be kept separate and independent of each other in all their interests. . .. '

FRIGHTENING CHILDREN. — Nothing ecan be worse for a child than to be frightened. 'The effect of the scare it is slow to recover from; it remains °

sometimes until maturity, as is shown by many instances of morbid sensitiveness _and excess of nervousness, Not unfrequently, fear is employed as a means of discipline. Children are controlled by being made to believe that something terrible will happen to them, and punished by being shut up.in a dark room, or by being put in places they stand in dread of. No one, without vivid memory of his own childhood, can ecomprehend how cruel 'such things are. We have often heard grown persons tell of the sufferings they have endured, as children, under like circumstances, and recount the irreparable injury which they are sure they then received. No parent, no nurse, capable of alarming the young, is fitted for their position. {Children, as near as possible, should be trained not to know the sense of fear, which, above everything else, is to be feared in their education, early and late.—Selinsgrove Times. =~
