A Faithful Spaniel.

DURING August last two schoolbOys,
brothers, went TO bathe in mill-pool be-
fore lunch; brace of spaniels accompa-
MED them. The younger brother TOOK
with him an old hat to wear in the water,
to keep off the heat of the sun. While
the boys were bathing the spaniels strayed
away some little distance. After they had
bathed, the boys separated, each going to
a different house for the afternoon. The
spaniels met the elder brother as he was
leaving the pool, but noticing that the
younger one was not with him, refused to
follow him for more than a short distance,
and when they observed that the younger
one was not following him, regardless of
orders and whistling (though, as a rule,
they were not more partial to one brother
than another), turned back to the spot
where the boys had bathed. There they
found, not the younger brother, but the
old hat, which he had thrown away into
the water after bathing They fetched
this out of the water, and then, as if struck
that something must be wrong, kept
swimming round and round the place
where they had found the hat floating.
A farmer, who had meantime met the
younger brother on his way from the
pool, passed the spot, and seeing the

come away home, knowing to whom they
belonged. The dogs, however, could not
be seduced from their search for the sup
posed drowned body of their young mas
ter, and the farmer left them. Other vii
layers also saw the dogs engaged in their
search, and rumors soon spread about the
village that Master A. W. was drowned.
Meantime the younger brother had gone
home, and had heard from his brother
that the dogs had refused to follow him.
He went back to the pool and there, late
in the evening, found the spaniels still
patiently watching and searching for him.
OF course they came away instantly with
him, after dogs usual boisterous wei
come. The villagers who, meantime
had first heard the supposed mournful
news of the boys death, could hardly be
persuaded that it was not his ghost that
they saw pass with his dogs in the twi-
light on their return home. Land and

The Fashionable Spring BOnnets.

TIE display of new spring bonnets
made on this occasion was the first public
one of the season, and exceeded in style
and beauty those of any previous year
The combinations were extremely novel,
and many of them very effective. Frou-
frou and wine color upon white chip
formed striking contrast; more. delicate
was the association of n pale cameo tint
with turquoise blue and apple blossom
with very light shade of peacock color.
Positive colors seem almost abandoned;
tints are the rage, and are well adapted
to the soft delicate materials of which
bonnets and their trimmings are COM
posed
A few bonnets are composed of silk
and the "long" English Grape, which
has heretofore only been made in black,
and this season appears in colors for the
first time, but the majority consist of
straw, English or italian, and chip, the
dead whiteness of which is sOftened and
rendered more becoming by the fine light
blues, and green, and butfs, and pinks,
and myrtles of the trimming.
A very handsome black lace bonnet was
trimmed with lace mixed with nasturtium
color; a spray of darkly-tinted begonia
leaves, to which branches of black cur

ornament.
Everything depends upon the "make-
up" of the bonnets this season, the
shapes being, so far, totally devoid of in
dividuality or expression. The later
spring importations may develop styles
more distinctive, but at present the at
traction rests with the colors, the mate.
rials, and the artistic skill of the milli-
ner
No more remarkable change in fashion
has been effected than that which has
taken place in colors during the past few
years. From few positive colors, with
their simple shadings almost distinctly
marked as the colors themselves, we have
developed an almost infinite variety of
charming tints, pale, scarcely to be de-
fined, but exquisite as the reflections OF
light and shade, as the simmer of the
sunshine as the changing hues of spring
and autumn, and the different tones OF
earth and sky. The use and proper
blending of these tints is to-day the most
distinct indication of cultivated taste and
personal refinement 1t is becoming a
cardinal principle in ladies' dress to avoid
the contrast of positive colors, and SC
harmonize tints as to present fine and
complete whole.-NeD York World.

have not dispatched any Embassy to the
courts and governments of friendly coun-
tries, we have thought fit to select our
trusty and honored Minister, Sioni To

as Ambassador Extraordinary, and have
associated with him Iussammi Takayoyssi

Extraordinary, and invested them with full
powers TO proceed to the Government OF
the United States, as well as TO other
governments, in order to declare oar cor
dial friendship, and to place the peaceful
relations between our respective nations
on firmer and broader basis. The pert
cd for revising the treaties now existing
between ourselves and the United States
is less than one year distant. We expect
and intend to reform and improve
the same so as to stand upon
similar footing with the most
enlightened nations, and to attain the
full development of public right and In

THE OLD WORLD.

A London dispatch of the sth says the Med
ical Commission had found that O'Connor,
the Queens assailant, was Of sound mind,
but an enthusiastic Fenian. O'Connor said
to the Commission that he used an unloaded
pistol because he only desired to frighten the
Queen into a compliance with his demand.
Any fatal result from his assault would have
brought the Prince of Wales TO the throne,
and that event he does not desire. He wishes
the Queen to be the last English monarch.

AnteIOpe-Huntjng with Cheetahs.

THE hunting. .cheetah," trained for
hunting the antelope in India, belongs to
the leopard tribe, but differs from the
common leopard and panther in many re-
spects He stands proportionately higher
on his legs, and is of lighter build. His
color is paler yellow, and his spots are
circular and equally distributed over the
body, whereas in the leopard and panther
they are in the form of irregularly shaped
rosettes, much resembling the dirty print
of dogs foot on clean carpet. The
head is round, with long, erect ears and
fierce, staring eyes, with deeply marked
sinuses beneath. The claws are not ro.
tractile, but similar to those of dog, and
in some manner the cheetah seems to con-
meet the cat and dog tribes together. BY
the aid of long tail, furnished with a
thick, bushy tuft, he is enabled to turn at
speed wonderfully quick, whisking this
member round as a greyhound does his
in following the doubles of tired hare.

gradual reforms and improvements OF
our policy and customs so as to be upon
an equality with them. With this object
we desire to fully disclose to the United
States Government the condition of affairs
in our empire, and to consult upon the
means of giving greater efficiency to our
institutions at present and in the future,
and as soon as the said Embassy returns
home we will consider about the revision
Of the treaties, and accomplish what we
have expected and intended. The Min

you to favor them with full credence and

your continued health and happiness, and
for the peace and prosperity of your great
Republic.

set our hand and the great seal of our

Press Dead-Heads.

RAILROADS occasionally complain of
dead heading, but no institution suffers
so much from it as the press. A sensible
writer says;
"The press endures the infection of
dead-headism from the pulpit the bar
and the stage; from corporations, socie-
ties and individuals. II is expected to
yield its interests, it is requested to give
strength to the weak, eyes to the blind,
clothes to the naked and bread to the
hungry; it is asked to cover infrmities,
hide weakness and wink at quaclls, Dol
ster up dull authors, and flatter the vain;
it is, in short, to be all things to men, and
if IL looks for pay or reward, it is de-
nounced as mean and sordid. There is
no interest under the whole heavens that
is expected to give so much to society
without pay or thanks as the press"

Democratic Financiering.

THE Democratic party, if we may be-
lieve its orators and writers, has superior
ability to manage the financial affairs of
the nation. 1t now asks the people to re-
store the Government into its hands in
order that its finances may be more wise
ly economical. The last Democratic.
President was James Buchanan, who was,
so far as his personal affairs were con-
cerned, one of the best tinanciers in the
country. His Administration, for which
his party was quite as responsible as its
chief, did not do so well by the country
as Mr.. Buchanan always did for himself.
When Mr.. Buchanan was inaugurated in
1857, there was cash in the National Trea-
sury to the amount of $40, $40, ia. He
had no war on his hands, nor had he any
occasion to make extraordinary expendi-
lures, vet when he left the Executive
Chair he left a debt of nearly siXty-fiVe
millions, and only about two millions and
a half in the treasury to go towards meet
ing it. The kind of financial manage
ment the Democratic party gave the coun-
try may be inferred from the following
table, showing the yearly excess of ex-
non ndituraS OUer rpceiDts.

"A celebrated Irish farmer gives this
advice to one young in the stock-raising
business: "As a breeder, you must be
careful not TO lose the calf flesh, If you
do so by starving the animal at any time
of his growth, you lose the cream-the
covering of flesh so much prized oy all
our retail butchers Where 90 an the
scraegy. bad-feshed beasts come from
that we see daily in our fat markets. and
what is the cause of their scragginess
Il is because they have been stinted and
starved at some period of their growth.
IL the calf flesh is once lost, it can never
be regained. A great deal of tallow may
be got internally by high feeding, but
the animal can never again be made one

THOSE FOOTSTEPS.
In the quiet hush Of the tender night,
When my eyes oil mp with tears,
Comes my darling TO me, all golden bright
With the sunshine Of three sweet years.
And he smiles a. he climbs TO q seat on my knee,
To whisper his childish mirth;
Then clasps my neck-though you may not see,
For my darling IL not Of earth.
Only within the twilight gloom,
When the hours are long and sweet,
] hear all shout In the lonely room
The patter Of little feet
Patter Of feet that come and go,
With a sweet yet restless will,
just as they did month ago,
Ere they grow forever still
And my heart at those spiritsounds that seem
81 GEAR yet so far away,
Gides into the faith Of a sweet love-dream,
That follows me night and day.
And this love.dream, tender and evor sweet,
still whispers soft and low
Keep thou in thy heart those tiny feet,
And follow the way they GO"
Then my sorrow sinks down "a a ea1et WILL
Wien the winds are into their rcst
And bow with claspcd hands. and still
The footsteps are in my breast

CURE RoR HORSE Pulling AT Hal
TER.-A year ago had four-year old
mare which had contracted the habit of
pulling back whenever she was fastened.
She would be sure to break loose if what
held her could be broken By her drawing
in such backward way. She was cured
of the habit By taking a rope two feet
long. fastening one end around her body
just back of her shoulders, and passing
the other end through the ring of the
halter and tying to the post. She lty
back for her usual pull for a few times
when fixed in this way, but soon found
she was drawing from her body instead
of her head, which she did not relish, and
soon gave it up entirely. She can now
be left anywhere with perfect safety. as
nothing will induce her TO pull back when
fastened.-Cor. Of Country Gentleman.
