What is called "a sweet thing in funerals" has just been exhibited at Alton, Ill. The corpse was a young woman, and the pall-bearers were eight young women dressed in white and wearing Fatally Mangled by a Bulldog. Mr. Boote has for some months past had what he considered a valuable English bulldog, in which he took considerable pride. The dog was not considered safe to run at large, and therefore, was kept chained in the yard back of his house. He was sometimes cross to members of the family, but had never attempted to bite any of them, and sometimes was very good-natured. Mr. Boote's little daughter, only five years of age, was in the habit of feeding this dog, which Monday proved himself to be one of the most savage of monsters. After dinner was over the little girl took the remnants of the meal as usual to feed the brute. She had just got within the limits of the dog's chain, when he flew at her, and seizing her by the throat, pressed her to the earth, and commenced tearing her tender flesh in the most terrible manner. The poor little child could not even scream while the ferocious beast was tearing her throat, her cheeks, her nose, her scalp and breast. The flesh was literally torn down to the bone on the entire left side of her face, and mangled most horribly. All this agonized mother saw from the kitchen window. She ran into the yard screaming "My God! My child!" and was fast advancing on the dog, when he released his hold of the mangled child and flew at the mother, but she fortunately evaded him. Police officer John Thomas, whose residence adjoins that of Mr. Boote, was providentially at home eating his dinner,and when he heard Mrs. Boote's screams ran out into the yard. Looking over the fence he took in the situation at once, and in an instant was in his neighbor's yard, with his pistol drawn and cocked. "I prayed to God," said Officer Thomas to our reporter, "that I might not hit the child when I fired, for the dog's mouth was on her throat, and I feared I might miss my aim. The dog was literally eating the little girl's flesh." His prayer was answered. The bullet struck fair in the ferocious animal's forehead, and he released his hold long enough for Mr. Thomas to seize the child and hand her to her mother. But in his dying throes the dog returned to the attack, and caught Mrs. Boote's by the hand, which was terribly lacerated by his sharp teeth. Officer Thomas then prepared to fire again, but the brute released Mrs. Boote's hand and sprang at him.

Mr. White admits at the many more English are good a thousand than is the case wrious continental nations however, that the English ran generated in America as is posited even in America itself thirty years ago, he says, that riage of Yankees—i.e., Amherst people of English blood—with Germans was so rare as practiced exist; and at that period thie England a more purely English than that of New England quotes in defense of his position express-ed by a British his acquaintance at the "fine rite New England volunteer regiment" by him on furlough during one Mr. White was of the same observation had taught him English Coldstreams and that Spain's own regiment in Cuba compare with them, at least two of Spaniards.

A Detected Rusk.—Bayard Taylor tells a story of a lady in Germany, who was called suddenly to provide a dinner for the reigning duke. She was at her country-house, short of provisions, when she received word that the duke was near by, and would dine with her. The only meat at hand was a haunch of venison and some scraps for soup. The soup went off well. But, as the waiter was bringing in the venison, he unluckily lifted the dish, and the haunch fell upon the floor. The lady was in despair, but, without a flush on her countenance or a quiver in her tone, said, quietly, "Take it away." The ill-fated haunch was taken out, put on a new dish, and regarnished and brought back again. The hostess, who had been talking serenely with her royal visitor, cut off a delicate slice of the venison, and said, "Will your Royal Highness have a piece of this?" He was shrewd enough to detect her artifice, and good-natured enough to show an indifference to accidents, for he replied, not without a touch of sarcasm, "Thank you; if you please, I will take a piece of the first." At precisely two o'clock by the bells the other morning a policeman who was walking up Beaubien street caught sight of a negro who was skulking along a fence, and he called upon him to stop. "Ize in a big hurry to ketch de mawnning train for Toledo!" called back the African. The officer threatened to shoot if he did not stop, and the skulker halted. "Does you imagine that I hez dun got a chicken heah?" he asked, as the offender came into the room when I tried for the dog's mouth was on her throat, and I feared I might miss my aim. The dog was literally eating the little girl's flesh." His prayer was answered. The bullet struck fair in the ferocious animal's forehead, and he released his hold long enough for Mr. Thomas to seize the child and hand her to her mother. But in his dying throes the dog returned to the attack, and caught Mrs. Boote's by the hand, which was terribly lacerated by his sharp teeth. Officer Thomas then prepared to fire again, but the brute released Mrs. Boote's hand and sprang at him. The force of the dog's onslaught, which was directed at Mr. Thomas's throat, but fortunately fell short, was enough to knock the officer against the grape arbor, and before the attack could be renewed, the dog fell dead from his wounds. The terribly mangled child was carried into the house and medical aid summoned. Everything possible was done to relieve the little sufferer, but the physicians were of opinion that the wounds would prove fatal. She bore her terrible sufferings like a little heroine, and preserved her consciousness all the time. At midnight we received word that she was dying and would soon be beyond the reach of suffering.—Cincinnati Gazette. Sam Honston and the Ham. On a recent business trip to Houston I had for a traveling companion a well-known merchant of this city, who told story after story of early days in Texas. One struck me as worth preserving. "When my father first came here," said the merchant, "he settled in Houston—the capital of Texas. I was put in a grocery and provision store under a very strict and parsimonious boss. One morning, just as I had swept out, Tom Gen. Houston's body servant, came into the store. Looking round he spied a fine ham—a rara avis in those days. Having asked the price, he said he would take it and the president would call around and pay for it. I felt proud of my sale, and called the attention of the boss to it as soon as he came in. "Did you get the money?' he asked, quickly. "No; but President Houston is coming round to pay for it." "President Houston—the devil! Did Tom say he would see it paid?" "No,sir." "Then you are a fool. Now,sir, you go straight to the president's kitchen and bring me that ham, unless Tom will say it shall be paid for." "I started off, very much crestfallen, and not liking the job before me. But I resolutely walked into the president's kitchen. Tom was there. I saw my ham lying there, with a few slices out of it, and, seizing it, told Tom unless he would undertake to see that the money was paid I must take it back. "Tom cogitated awhile, and then said: 'Young man, take back your meat.' The general is a mighty good master, but a mighty poor paymaster, and I don't keer to involvilate myself with his debts.' "This was enough for me. I left with the ham in my hand. Going around to the gate, I had to pass the front door. There stood Gen.

"Does you imagine that Ihez dun got a chicken heah?" he asked, as the officer approached. "Yes, air; that's exactly what I imagine." "And if I hezen't got a chicken I kin go right down to de depot, kin I?" "I guess you can." "Well, sah, den gaze on dis yere an' tell me if de name is chicken!" said the man, as he pulled a big goose around in front of him. The officer went back on his word, and took the negro under arrest, and the victim was yesterday exclaiming: "Whar's de use ob tryin' to get along wid dem policemen? De best way is to drop de goose an' make fur de woods." A youngster of a Boston primary school, says the Literary World, was playing about at home in the presence of his father, one day not long since, when the parent heard him off caroling thus: "Angle two times, nigger on a pond, Angle two times, nigger on a pond." Surprised and somewhat displeased at the inelegant nature of the musical snatch, the father inquired how the child came by it. "O, that's what the teacher makes us say at school," he replied. The next day the father paid a visit to that school, and respectfully asked the lady instructor if the curriculum of her department included the above doggerel. She was puzzled for a moment to understand him, or to reply. At last the whole thing came out with a flash of intelligence. "Angle—two lines meeting at a point." This geometrical definition, taught to the children, was the simple original of the child's translation: "Angle two times, nigger on a pond." A lady was very much surprised on the occasion of her wedding, the other day, to receive as a present an article of alver that she had presented to a bride some six months ago. This shows how hard times are. Tom cogitated awhile, and then said: 'Young man, take back your meat.' The general is a mighty good master, but a mighty poor paymaster, and I don't keer to involvillate myself with his debts.' This was enough for me. I left with the ham in my hand. Going around to the gate, I had to pass the front door. There stood Gen. Houston, the president of Texas, with a pocket handkerchief in one hand and a toothpick in the other. 'My little man,' says he, in his superb manner, 'tell your master I am under great obligations for a most delicious breakfast, and would pay him, but I really haven't got the money.' The fact is, young man, Texas is very poor, and, as her president, I must share her poverty.' — Correspondence N. Y./Sun. Incidents of the Recent Reservoir Disaster in Connecticut. There seems to have been some minor incidents": An Irish woman who lived in a Granite mill tenement, and thought more of her pigs than she did of her family, cried out as she saw the water coming: "Oh, my God, me pigs are goin'!" and would not leave until dragged by sheer force from the pen, where she had determined to die with her beloved pigs. The dead porkers were afterward found arranged artistically around the mineral springs well. A Massachusetts parson was on his way to claim a Wellington bride when the flood stopped him. But his girl came up the next day herself, and the couple took their bridal tour in a trip around the ruins.

English and American Characteristics. Mr. Richard Grant White passes in hisological controversy in the Galaxy with Mr. Fitz Edward Hall to give his opinion on the comparative good looks and other physical perfections of English and Americas. As he has lately been visiting on the other side of the Atlantic, and if rumor be true, has enjoyed exceptional advantages of studying the arithmetic across their own dinner tables, his testimony may be worth something. We are the more inclined to accept it, moreover, because he decides in the main favor of his own countrymen. If, therefore, he is wrong in his conclusions, he has been warped by patriotism and not by flunkyism, and dares to fight a widespread prejudice cherished by none more dearly than by the inhabitants of Great Britain. Mr. White admits at the start that many more English are good looking in thousand than is the case with the various continental nations. He denies, however, that the English race has developed in America as is popularly believed even in America itself. Up to thirty years ago, he says, the intermarriage of Yankees—i.e., American born people of English blood—with Irish and Germans was so rare as practically not exist; and at that period there was not England a more purely English peopler than that of New England. He notes in defense of his position the surprise expressed by a British Colonel of acquaintance at the "fine men" of the New England volunteer regiments, seen by him on furlough during our late war. Mr. White was of the same opinion, for observation had taught him that the English Coldstreams and the Queen of Spain's own regiment in Cuba could not compare with them, at least in the case of the Spaniards. He equally repudiates the notion that American women are pretty dolls in their youth, destined to be early. A traveled English lady had told him that the chief difference between English and Americans lay in the fact that she saw here no fat old men. She did not say anything of fat old women, though she was neither fat nor ill. Adiposity is the main distinction which separates the English from Americans. They are more rosy and rotund when past middle age than people on continent, and the cause, according to writer, "is simply beer."

We have given in these columns from time to time, explanations of the novel features of the Rogers Upright Piano, an invention which is destined to revolutionize the prevailing system of piano making. We have shown that as every particle of strain or wear falls upon solid metal, as is the case with the harp, the piano now becomes an instrument, which like the harp is just as valuable after years of use, as when fresh from the manufacturer's hands. We now give below the opinion of four gentlemen of San Francisco, whose judgment in regard to the merits of mechanical inventions no man on this Coast will question: SAN FRANCISCO, April 25, 1877. MESSRS. BLACKMAR & DAVIS. Gentlemen— Having heard that the Rogers Upright Piano Company had introduced a novel and important principle in the construction of pianos, we have examined the instrument with much interest. We find a simple but original application of the "set screw," by which metallic slides holding the "tuning pins" are moved up and down, tightening and loosening the strings. It is evident that neither weather, climate, nor lapse of time can have any effect upon pianos constructed with this ingenious mechanism. THEODORE P.

The hear was exactly the reverse. She could hardly be called ill-looking in the face, but her pale, blank, unfeatured countence reminded one instant of a sheep. She was a washed out, and although long, a faded creature, with no more builders or hips than my forefinger. And yet she was a perfect English type, and so like some of John Leech's women that I could not look at her without daughter." On the other hand, Mr. White is forced confess that the English "get ups," particularly in the case of men of all senses, is distinctive, and is in a heat measure the cause of the impression of superior good looks and strength.

Then too, there is a fixed separation and subordination of classes, and differential behavior often corrupted into sequousness is the result. An Englishman usually shows at once for all he compares with them, at least in the case which separates the English from Ameri-ans. They are more rosy and rotund in past middle age than people on her continent, and the cause, according to her writer, "is simply beer." Americans no live in England, and adopt English bibits, become as fat and as rosy as the tives, which would not be the case had here been any previous change of type. It is a curious fact that English women are generally represented in French saces as thin, bony and sharp-featured, and so they often are until high feeding and much drinking has made them red and fat. One is reminded of Hawthorne's peasant satirical account of the "Female Bull" in reading Mr. White's account of two Englishwomen，admirable presentatives of opposite types.WE NOTE: THE NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM OF ART AND CULTURE IS A LOCAL FILM STUDIO WITH 100 MONTHS OF EXHIBITION AND SHOWING OF ART FROM A BOSTON BASED MUSEUM OF ART AND CULTURE.
