Charlie Nupier's D0g.

a good while age, boy named Char
he had dog, which was very fond of
the water, and in hot weather he used
to swim across the river near which the
boy lived. One day the thought struck
him that it would be fine fun to make
tie dog carry him across the river, so he
tied a string to the dogs collar, and ran
down with him to the waters edge,
where he took off all his clothes, and
then, holding hard by the dogs neck
and the bit of string he went into the
water, and the dog pulled him across.
After playing about on the other side
for some time, they returned in the way
they had come; but when Charlie looked
for his clothes, he could find nothing
but his shoes. The wind had blown all
the rest into the water. The dog saw
what had happened, and making his
little master let go the string, by pre-
tending to bite him, he dashed into the
river, and brought out first the coat,
Charley dressed and went home in his
wet clothes, and told his mother what
fun he ana dog haa had. His mother
told him that he did very wrong in
going across the river as he had done,
and that he should thank Gnd for max
ing the dog take him over and back
again safely. Little Charlie said: "Shall
| thank God now, mamma?' 'and he
kneeled down at his mothers knee, and
thanked God; then getting up again he
threw his arms around the dogs neck
saying: 81 thank you too dear doggie

The following letter from Hon. Glide
OH Welles, Secretary Of the Navy, to
ecutive Committee of the National Uni
on Club, is a model as a condensed ar
gument in behalf of the policy OF the
President in contravention OF the de-
structive course of Congress-:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July II, 1866.
SIR: Your note OF the 10th inst. was
received yesterday. cordially approve
the movement which has been institu-
ted to sustain the Administration in
maintaining unbroken the Union Of
the States" and recognize in the call
which you have sent me the principles
and views by which the Administration
has been governed.
The attempt made to destroy the ma
tiollal integrity by secession, or the vol
untary withdrawal of a State from the
Union, has been defeated. War has for
ever eXtinguished the heresy OF seces-
sion. On the suppression OF the rebel
lion, measures were promptly COM
menced to reestahiish those fraternal re-
lations which for four years had been
interrupted.
The policy initiated by President Lin
coin to restore national unity WAS adop
ted and carried forward by President
johnson; the States which had been in
rebellion were. under this benign poll
cy. resuming their legitimate functions;
die people had laid down their arms,
and those who had been in instruction
were returning TO their allegiance; the
Constitution had been vindicated and
Union WAS supposed to pc restored, when

AnOsher NeW Piano Muuvfucto,.,,

Although the war through which the
country has lately passed hada DAMAGING
effect upon many branches of individual
arts, yet it is really gratifying to notice
evidences OF enterprise and PROSPERITY
on the part of some of our prominent
manufacturers. Onedepartment of trade
aione-viz; piano manufacturing is
now being greatly extended in Balti-
more. and we have now to notice the
completion of new factory for Mr..
Charles NJ. Stieff, whose rapidly in
ereasfng business demanded greater ac-
commodations for his employees. This
new addition to the principal factory
renders it, with siugle exception, the
most extensive south of New York.
The latter has Il front on Camden street
of forty-six feet, with depth of one
handred and eightyfive feet to Perry
street. The building is five stories high,
and most substantially built. In the
frst story are the drying rooms, where
high temperature Of atmosphere is
maintained in order to season the timber
prior to its going into the hands of the
workmen. The second story is devoted
entirely to the regulating and modu-
lating the tone of each instrument pre-
para DRY to its removal to the ware
rooms, the making of scales and patterns
and the getting up of new designs. In
the third story the instruments receive
their strings, the intricate work. and
what is known as by-finishing. The
fourth stessy is used as the vanishing
! department., and the fifth devoted to
the manufacture of all varieties of eases,
carved legs and tops. The two upper
stories are provided with drying sheds,
where material for fifty pianos may be
at one time exposed to the sun and
properly dried.
The new factory just completed fronts
on Perry street forty feet, is four stories
in height, and is only connected with
the establishment on Camden street by
large yard. 1t stands entirely unob-
structed on either side, thus giving an
abundance of light, air and ventilation
to the employees. The first story is used
for the cutting up of lun Der for the
various parts of the instruments, the
second for case making, the third to the
manufacture Of sounding boards and the
insertion of the full iron frames, and the
carved feet and pedals, key boards and
key board frames, and the other various
carvings. The building is supplied with
one Of Bates improved hosting
machines, saving much labor to the
workmen. In this extensive establish
ment it will readily be observed that
there are all the facilities for the con-
struction of all styles ofgrand and square
pianos, which will enable the proprietor
to enter into competition, in turning out
fine instruments, with any establish
lrnnt in the country. Mr.. Stieff is now
= ing regular employment to about
seventy tirst-class hands, and although
business is not quite as brisk as might
be desired, still there is no dizziness no,
ticeable, every instrument, as turned
out, meeting a ready sale. The principal
exhibition and salesroom IS at NO. Z

RIDING A HOBBY.-The Archbishop
of Dublin tells of a horseman. who,
having lost his way, made complete
circle. When the first round was finish
ed, seeing the marks of his horses hoofs,
and never dreaming that they were
those of his own beast, he rejoiced and
said: "This at least shows me that am
in some track" When the second cir
cult WAS finished, the signs of travel
were doubled and he said: SHOW surely
| am in a beaten way and with the
conclusion Of every round, the marks
increased, till he was certain that he
must be in some frequented thorough
fare, and approaching a populous town;
but all the while, he was riding after his
no SEES tail, and deceived by the track
of his own error. So it is with men that
ride hobby.
AMERICAN BEAUTY.-The remark
able beauty the American ladies seems
to be the leading topic of European So
ciety. Wherever they appear. the COM
pliments thus bestowed are undoubtedly
deserved. A writer in q London jour-
nal, in giving an account OF the gay
scenes on the Bots, in Paris on bright
day last month, says: 81 could not help
renlarking the prevalence OF American
beauty among the ffequenters of the
drive. Miss Beckwith, Miss Terrence,
and a host of other stars from the West,
decidedly carried the day, and completes
