Strossmayer has been called upon by the Vat

Austrian government would, of course, inter-

10 the Editor Of the Press:
Your notice of the knowing Newfoundland
dog, recalls some incidents in the life of dog
which was owned for some years by Mr. Skill
lings of Peaks Island formerly of Bangs ISL
and. When DESTROYS of a change of lfe he
would swim to Portland, distance of over two
miles, and, after passing week visiting, re-
turn. He would sometimes be found at Com
mercial wharf by Mr.. Skillings, after several
days absence, sitting in his boat, in which
he mad come to town, and awaiting Mr.. SIS
coming on board to take him home He had
accompanied Mr.. Skillings, at various times,
to Watts Ledge, near Richmond Island, seven
miles from Bangs Island, on cunning excur-
sions after sea fowl, and he was most excel
lent retriever.
On one occasion, as the dog was getting old
Mr.. Skillings eft his house without him, and,
as necessary for sea fowl cunning, before day
light. The dog finding his master gone, swan
to Cape Elizabeth to some part of the shore,
which required swimming nearly mile. and
went to Cape e. Lights distance of six miles
more, where he remained until Mr. Skillings
passed in his boat, on his return, when the dog
swan to the boat, was taken aboard, and re-
turned home with his master. On another &C.
cas'On, Mr.. Skillings shot two sea fowl while
he was standing on top of Bald-head, 80 feet
above the sea. The dog made directly for the
water, by running down until he approached
the precipice 80 or 40 feet above the water, when
he leaped in, seized the two fowl and swan
with them around to the Cove. A common
excursion for him in his latter days, was to
swim to House Island, merely to play with the
sheep which, though play to him, was great
worry to them, for they in their fright would
make for the water, and too many of them being
drowned, the sheep owners were compelled to
shoot him.
He had habit Of showing his teeth and
gums when approached by friend or stranger,
but not as is commonly the case, in anger, it
being merely a way he had to show his joy.
People who are curious in such matters may
discriminate as they please between instinct
and reason, and how much less than reason was
shown in some of the above cases. 1t is well
suggested, however, that high dog Instinct
appears more elevated, at least, than low |
order of human reason.

being the legend engraved thereon. He was neither very young nor yet middle. aged; about thirty, the learned in such matters decided; but he took Greysfeld by slorm. Never had the simple country folks seen such graceful, courtly manners, such simple elegance of dress, such a superb carriage of wonderfully handsome head. Never had they heard such pure, perfect language, which yet was never pedantic or strained in effect. He had told some of the elderly gentlemen that his means were limited; but it was difficult to believe this when he paid so iberally and promptly for his board and other necessaries, dressed so beautifully, and seemed SO carelest of ex- pense.
 To Maude and some others of her men, tai calibre, he was simply a magnificent "beau, whose attentions were an honor. and to win whose hand was a great social triumph. What was he to Hester Shaw?
 From the time when Testers father had placed his hand in dying blessing upon her head, and then left her an orphan, the girl had been slowly starving. It was four years ago, Before that. she had been the close, constant companion of highly edu- cated clergyman; since then she had been the companion of those who grudged the intellectual labor required to study the al- Manac.

The coal monopolists are victorious, after all. By large majority. the House direc. ted the preparation of bill abolishing the present customs duty on bituminous coal but little finesse on the part of the Ways and Means Committee, aided by rule oi the House. defeated the measure. The minority bafae the majority, and prevent free coal. The Senate Finance Committee came to the rescue with an amendment to the Tax and Tariff bill, redacing the duty to fifty cents per ton, which would have given the Eastern States the benefit of &C., cess to the Nova Scotia coal mines. On Thursday last, however, the Senate reiec- ted the recommendation of its committee. and so extinguished, for the session, the only remaining ray of hope upon the sub ject.

MT. R. W. Thompson, a civil engineer in Edinburgh, has invented . locomotive for common roads, which promises to work well. It can go over rough roads or plow-- ed fields, and draw heavy load. turn sharp corners and be guided in narrow streets. As a means of conveying heavy loads, and of blowing, it is likely to be valuable. The engine is mounted on broad wheels, the tires of which are Cov- cred with thick hoop of India rubber. It would probably do admirably in our lev el western country; it has the speed of the the horse and the safety of the OK.

Concerning the pumpkin: This berry is favorite with the natives of the interior of New England, who prefer it to the gooseberry for making fruit cake, and who likewise give it the preference over rasp. berry for feeding COWS, as more filling and fully as satisfying. The pumpkin is the only esculent that will thrive in the North. except the gourd and two varieties of squash. But the custom of blanting it in the front yard with the shrubpery is fast going out of vogue, for it is now generally conceded that the pumpkin, as shade tree, is a failure. Mark T4Cain. .y .racs
