out o. him, and Donald no preen the
waur."
As If aware of the misfortune impending
over the family, the little animal was dull
and listless; he did not gambol about as
was his wont, neither did he seek to
stretch himself before the kitchen fire in
the society of the children. During the
last day of his masters life, he visited the
door of the sick-room, throwing forward
and sidewise his long ears, to hear, If pos
sible. any sounds which might be adj
dressed to him. On the circumstances
being reported to the saddler, Donald was
permitted once more to enter the apart
ment. 1t was mournful scene. Wife
and children were assembled round the
death-bed, to which, drawn by affection,
Donald closely advanced, as if to bid a
final adieu to one he dearly loved. With
life fleeing fast away, the invalid could
only with kind look lay his pallid hand
on the meek face of the faithful animal
family murmuring the words, Poor
Donald" and shortly afterwards he
breathed his last.
As there was no money to pay the debts
public auction was inevitable, and among
the articles advertised, prominent place
was given to the fondly cherished "Don-
add"
On the day of the sale, he munched his
grass and. thistles in the wooden booth
with his accustomed gravity, though the
children's attentions were little bolster
Gus. One patted his face, another rubbed
him down with wisp of straw, while a
third clasped him round the neck,
crying bitterly, as if his heart were like to
break. They were distracted with the
possibility of losing Donald, and what
could console them?
He was bid off by a gentleman of the
neighborhood, who soon after entered the
cottage, and sought out its mistress in her
grief and obscurity. Laying his hand on
her shoulder he spoke to her few kind
words, 'Do not be so distressed about
the loss of your tavorite donkey. I have
bought it for you, and you need only pay
the price, when you are able to do so, af-
ter settling your husbands affairs. Make
a good use of the little animal, as you de-
sign, for the benefit of youself and child
rem.
The woman looked up wonderingly and
gratefully. ut is very kind O you, sir"
she said, "but have ma words to thank
ye. For what ye haze done, yen haze the
blessing O. the widow and fatherless.

WASHINGTON.
Demands on Spain.

Washington, "a. 1t is ascertaned from 4
reliable source that Spain instead of carrying
into effect the understanding of the fish polo
protocol, namely, to investigate the conduct
of those of its authorities who have infringed
upon Spanish laws and treaty obligations, and
to punish those who may have offended. has
made demands for indemnity in the affair of
the Virginius, and for other ALLEGED wrongs
suffered by Spain, owing to fillibustering ex-
petitions fitted out in this country and land
ing or attempting to land men and munitions
of war on Spanish American coast.
To this demand our government has re-
piled in firm but courteous terms, asserting
the untenableness of the position of the Span
ish government, and reminding it of the re-
missness or inexcusable delay in making rep
aration for wrongs suffered by American citi-
zens in person and property.
The latest information from minister Cush-
ing is that he is still pressing our demands on
Spain.
II seems certain that the clause in the
protocol providing that reciprocal reclama-
ton shall be the subject of consideration be-
tween the two governments will not end salts
factorily, in which case it will become
the subject of arbitration as per agreement,
droviding the constitutional assent of the L.
S., shall be given to it.

Boston Dry Goods Market.

FRIDAY, Aug. 81
There is a light increase in the volume of trade
from ilrst hands; quite as much as could be ex.
| pccted when it is remembered what large QUAINT.
ties of goods were placed in June, and which, as
! matter OF course have not been distributed I'd the
retailers. There is some Western trade here, and
few Southern dealers who buy their shoes in this
market are also purchasing small lots Of domestic
goods, but the facilities for moving goods and du
placing orders is great that there Is DISPOSE
ton to purchase in large quantities. Trade is not
brisk but it Is healthy, and all the croaking in the
world Will not prevent business equal to the want
of customers, and this is all the trade that sound
business policy will encourage.
Brown Cott0ns remain as reported last week and
there is no change to note in the situation; light
WEIGHT goods are not sold up 50 closely as the me.
more upon lhis class of fabrics.
Bieached Cottons are quiet and the sales have
been limited to small lots OF the best makes.
| There has been no movement in Cotton Flannels
ard the market Is quiet at unchanged prices.
Fancy Shifting Stripes in tasty designs have been
in fair request, but the sales are limited to small
Denims and Ticks are quiet and the sales only
in small quantities.
Grain Bags continue to be in fair demand and tho
sales up to the present time have been very large
Drills remain unchanged, and the demand either
for export or the home trade has been light.
The movement in Prints the past week have not
been marked by any special begree of animation
and the sales have been mainly in small parcels of
those styles that are most popular.
Ginghams are selling very well for the season,
and arge quantities have been distributed.
nl Inc loD9ing trade nave had more inquiry for
ducts OF The various mills have been fairly sought
for.
Woolens on the whole have not been in brisk re.
quest, although certain fabrics are taken fast
they are shown, and any mill that is making Wors.
teds or good limitations of these goods Is busy and
have orders for weeks ahead. We hear Of mills
that have declined TO take any orders at pres
ent prices, and there is certainly rmer feeling in
this class OF goods.
Beavers remain without special Improvement
but the advent of cooler weather will surely lead to
an increased demand.
There is more inquiry for Carpets, and low prices
are likely to stimulate trade.
