Dog Story from the "Hub.v
From the Boston Herald.

LAOAA NAS
Mr.. Edward Watts, a well known citi-
zen residing at No. % Harvard street,
tells a. very remarkable story about a
pair of English bull terriers that he
owns and prizes very highly. He says,
and Officer Coombs of the Fourth Sta
ton vouches for the truth of the story,
that one day last week he had occasion
to go from his house to Portland street,
a. COED mile, for the purpose of paying
a small bill. Arriving at Portland
street with the dogs, he met the man
he wished to see on the sidewalk, and
there paid the bill, at the time drop
ping q $50 bill, nthe curb stone, though
he knew nothing about it till his arrival
home, some two hours afterward, and
after calling at several places on his
way home. Finding this $40 bill gone,
he took~his dogs and started back,
calling at the places he visited on his
way home. On reaching Sudbury street
he called his dog Jess showed him a
$50 bill, looked about as if hunting for
it, and told the dog to " smell it OUT
The dog then started off with his nose
to the ground in front of his master;
and pushing round into Portland street,
where they had been before, and where
the bill was paid, he stopped, poked
about the dirt with his lose and in
few minutes ran up to his master with
the lost $50 bill in his mouth. That
looks like a very tough story, but i
truthful men are to be believedthen il
this story true.

Darwinian Retrogression.

A New Zealand correspondent of the
San Francisco Alta is responsible for
the following story: ESgEEaE NA~
However strange Mr. Darwin's theory
that man is descended from a mon
key-may seem to be to many, the fol
lowing particulars in the early history
of one of the present members of Par
Lament for New Zealand are related in
all sober earnestness in Southern papers.
Mr.. BIS early life was spent in the wilds
of South Africa. When amer infant
ehe was one day laid peacefully at rest
at the door of his woodland home. His
worthy parent, near the cabin, shot the
offspring of a large monkey, at which
the feelings of the affectionate mamma
were of course much wounded. She
was, however, driven away by the APP
preaching hunter, and, in passing the
cabin door, noticed and stole the future
New Zealand legislator. The loss was
not discovered for nearly an hour after.
ward, and then all efforts to find the
robber proved u~nayailing. Three
months after this period a hunting
party came across a family of monkeys
in the Wilderness, and there, in the
arms of the careful, although u~ntutored,
wet-nurse, was the long-lost child, who
chatted and jibbered in the most ap'
proved monkey fashion, apparently
fully equal to the ~exigencies of the
situation. Could there be any more
convincing evidence than this, of the
affinity of our race, and those hardy
denizens of the woods?

Whence comes that firm reliance, that absolute, un-
doubling faith in the efficacy of Hostetters Stomach
Bitters as a remedy for indigestion, bilious disorders,
intermittent and remittent fevers. which VIGOROUSLY
prevails in all parts of the United States? This conf
dsnce has been growing for twenty years, and it is still
extending, 1t is not the result of credulity; it has not
been engendered by any human device, but is the
spontaneous and natural consequence of experience.
What peorle see daily going on under their own eyes
they cannot question. When families ia unhealthy
districts. that resort to this wholesome vegetable tonic
as a preventive, escape periodical fevers. and their i'm
mediate neighbours, who neglect that precaution. are
Frustrated by the disease. how is it possible that the
phenomenon should be without its lesson In like
manner when it is seen that obstinate cases of dyspep
STA, of liver complaint. of constipation. of nervous
weakness, and of general debility, yield to the opera
ton of the famous remedy, how can even incredulity
itself withhold its endorsement? Eye-witnesses of the
salutary effects of the bitters. are to be found in every
civilized ettlement on this continent. The thousands
upon thousands who owe their restoration to health
and strength, or their preservation from sickness to
its extraordinary medicinal properties, are enthusiast
tic in its praise. The multitudes who recommend it in
q neighborly way to their friends and acquaintance,
as well as those who make public their estimate of its
virtues, are always ready to state their reasons for the
faith that is in them. They have all either felt or wit
messed its beneicent operations.

So general has the public confidence
become in DR.. Ayers medicines, and SO great
the demand for them, that unprincipled viii
lains are attempting to deceive the unwary
by imposing upon them their worthless nos
trums under a similarity of name. Cherry
PectoraI Lozenges, Dr.. Ayers Trochcs,
Ayers Pastiles for Coughs, Cherry Pectorai
Cough Drops, Ayers Fever and Ague Cure,
which are of DR.. Ayers manufacture or
cemposition) are specimens of this villainy
and deceit. They not only defraud the sick
of their money but of their health, or the
recovery of their health, which is far more
importaut than money. From actual coun-
~terfeits the people are protected by law
which the Doctor promptly enforces, but
these evasions sometimes elude the law, and
purchasers must protect themselves by re-
fusing to be deceived by them.-DoUer

" Is IT MEDIcINE?-A friend of ours,
who halls from one Of the uppexdistricts of
South Carolina, called at the Pick office,
and among other novelties, he mentioned
" Wolfe's Aromatic. Schiedam SchnapPs,''
and stated as g fact that, in his section of
the country, nearly all the physicians, in
certain cases, when they deemed ardent
spirits necessary to prolong or save life, in
variablyused these "~Schnappsj" justly re.
garding 1t as the only spirits that could BIO
procured pure and unadulterated. He also
stated that this medicine or "~Schnapps''
was becoming the only beverage sold on the
great stage or railroad routes. He says
those physicians who have used and
analysed it state that for diseases such as
gravel, govt, rheumatism, &C., it is incom-
narahle-

The Investment of Savings.

There are thousands of persons throughout
the country, who have from one hundred to
one or two thousand dollars saved up which
they do not wish to use in active business, but
from which they desire to realize as large and
steady an income as possible. Savings banks
are excellent for temporary convenience, but
they necessarily pay low rates OF interest;
government bonds are safe beyond question,
but at present rates yield such a small income
that most investors of moderate means prefer
something else.
Under these circumstances -frSt-cLdSS raul
road bonds are becoming a favorlte invest
ment among all classes. Many of them are
practically as safe as government bonds, while
they yield an income much larger than Five
Twenties. Messrs. Jay Cooke q Co, the
| eminent and conservative bankers who made
such a grand success of the government loan
during the war, and have recently succeeded
in selling two undr millions of the new
United States 5 per cent. loan, are now otfer-
ing to the American public a railroad bond
| that is probably the most attractive and de-
sirable now on the market. Speaking OF the
first mortgage 1880 gold bonds OF the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, the security re-
ferred to, a New York financial paper OF the
highest standing says:
1t is because these bonds are both a first
| class Railroad security, and a Real Estate
mortgage, on lands worth twice the amount
i secured, that We them to those OF
our readers who desire an investment that is
safe beyond question, while readily negotia-
BILE and bearing a good rate of interest.
| They are a first lien, not only on a great
Railroad and its traffic, but in addition are a
first mortgage or. valuable lands at the rate
Eof so acres to each 500 of indebtedness
Add to this the fact, that the rate of interest
Il $40 per cent. gold), is more than S pei
cent. currency, and that the bonds are al
ways exchangeable at 10 per cent. premium
for the lands on which they are secured
practically giving the power of Foreclosure
at willy, and it is easy to explain the high
favor with which these securities are now
regarded. Central Pacific RI. Bonds, Sc.
cured only on the Railroad itself, are beerint
Il only sir per cent. gold interest, and are nov
selling at 1O3. In the light of this fact, it ii
not unsafe to predict that Northern Paciics
bearing SEVEN AND THREE-TENrHs per cent
gold interest, secured both on the RAILROAD
and on %, 900 acres of land to each mile o
track, and now selling at par and accrued
interest, will at an early day be worth Ito.

Visitors to the Yo Semitic.

Travel to the 70 Semitic Valley for
the season of 1871 is nearly closed.
though q few visitors will drop in from
time to time during the present month.
The total number of visitors to the val
ley in 1870 was about LOO, which was
some 600 more than in any previous
eason This year, up to- last week,
2,133 visitors had entered the valley,
and the total for the season will prob
ably approximate 1900 Next year the
stage ride and horseback portion of the
trip will be greatly reduced by the adj
vance of the railroad southeastward,
and the journey will be made with SO
much greater ease that the tide of travel
will undoubtedly be largely increased,
and twill be necessary to provide in
creased hotel accommodations. Inn
~provenents in the way of trails dip and
down n the mountain sides, whereby
visitors may obtain the finest views Of
the valley with much less labor than
hitherto, are making, and the attrac-
tons for tourists viii thereby be largely
increased.AT The subject of the 70
Semitic guardianship and the ownership
of property in the valley; and its per
manent occupation and improvement,
is, likely to come prominently before
Congress and the Legislature of Califor.
mia at the coming sessions of the respec,
tive bodies.--San Francisco Bulletin.

UNPLEASANT DOOR OF PRESERVATION

UNPLEASANT ODoR OF PRESENTATION
This source of annoyance, which is often
d~if6cultsto treat, may be removed as
follows: Mix a tablespoonful of the
compound spirits of ammonia with a
small basin of water. By washing the
arms, arm-pits, and hands with this
solution, the skin will be left clean and
sweet. The wash is cheap and harm
less, and is much preferable to the per-
fumes and unguents which disguise but
do not relieve the trouble.
