HARNESS FOR SWELL PUPPIES.
Dog Collars that Cost Much More thar
the Little Beasts are Worth.

eyes," said the dog merchant,
eve have some very queer customers.
In those cases we have about 500 pat
terms in dog collars. I see you look
somewhat astonished, but il you were
here for little while you wouldn't be
surprised. There's modest little COL
lar that we sell to the dealers to retail
for twenty-five cents, and here's one OF
solid silver, made to match lady's ban.
gle bracelet, that you can have for sss.
That's about the range Of prices. This
collar was ordered to match a silver
bracelet. Ladies are our best custom
ers and they will buy the most expen-
sive goods. Sportsmen buy cheap,
substantial collar. They are like South
erners with $500 gold watch and a
shoe.string for guard. A 81 900 dog
belonging to a sportsman will have a
dollar and half collar, while a cur l
wouldn't give house room will some
times wear from $40 to sac worth of
trappings. Pug dogs are now all the go
and there is no limit to the price paid
for them. As high as $500 will be paid
for one by lady sometimes and then
it Is brought to us to rig out. Let me
show you some blankets for pugs.-
These bring from S. to SIS each; but
but We have some even more expensive. I"
care collars any protection against
dog thieves9" inquired the reporter
Again Mr.. Bremen smiled as he replied:
"They take the dog and the collar
both. The other day a we'll known
gentleman came to me for collar with
an inscription plate on it. He had en-
graved on the plate:
'If this dog is returned to o,
$40 reward will be paid"
al told him that he was encouraging
dog thieves, and besides, the dog, in my
estimation, was not worth the reward.
He sadly shook his head as he said -
'Mr. Bremen, that dog belongs to my
wife. She is as fond Of him as she is Of
me- But there is one kind of customer
that makes me sick. That is the young
man who wants collar for his girls dog.
He's always got smile on his face
when he wants this inscription:
"Bow, WOW, WOW.
I'm Sadie Smiths dog;
Whose dog are your"
"Then he smiles again as il he has hit
on something original. If VIC don't
laugh why we lose his custom. "-Ne5U

In the House of Commons this
afternoon the Under Foreign Secre-
tsry stated that telegram had been
received from Cartwright, Consul
General at Alexandria, which alluded
to an indirect communication from
Arab Pashs with view to surreu-
dering his military party, but there
has been no direct communication
from Arab Pasha so far.
In the House of Commens this
afternoon Gladstone read, amidst
cheers, an extract from instructions
forwarded to Lord Dufferin, British
Embassador to Constantinople, after
the Cabinet meeting yesterday, saying
England was glad of the cooperation
of any power, but calling upon the
Sultan to state dates for the dispatch
of troops and before their dispatch to
issue a proclamation upholding Tew-
Fix end the Khedive and denouncing
ARABIA Pasha as rebel.
Gladstone said communications were
still passing with Italy, regarding her
cooperation, and added that COM
munication had just been received
from Musurus Pashp Turkish Embss-
sadOr at London, -aouncing that the
Sultan would send troops Immediately.
The communication of Musurus Pasha
contains no reference to the proclama-
ton denOuncing Arab Pasha as a
rebel. The communication will not
interfere with the proceedings of the
conference.

New YORK. July 28-In the pro-
ceedings brought by Attorney Gen.
eral Russell in behalf of the peo
plevs. New York Central & Hudson
River railroad and the New York
Lake Erie K Western railroad, for a
mandamus to compel the railroads to
receive and transport freight as com
mon carriers, decision was rendered
to day granting motion to quash the
writs of mandamus.
In his opinion, the Judge says, that
if the power existed at all to
change the law in the mat
ter, fixing the rate of wages, such
power rested in the Legislature and
nOtin the judicial branch of thegovern
meut. He says he has come to the con-
clusion that neglect OF a rail
road to transport freight rendered it by
the citizens Of a State is was q private
wrong, for which the citizen is entitled
recover in action at law such damages
as he has sustained. That it is not
such public wrong as will authorize
the issuing Of a writ of mandamus.

Destructive Fires In Michigan.

CHICAGO, July 28.-John Raper, a
young Englishman, for years in the
employ Of Benjamin Allen & Co, Jew
elers OH State street, has absconded
with about $4,000. He was the chief
bookkeeper, and the firm trusted him
implicitly. He had lost the sight of
one eye, and his stealings began when
1t seemed likely that he would lose the
other. 1t is supposed that he has
gone to England, where his sisters are
living.
An East Lama, Mich, special says:
The forest fires in the northwest are
burning Gercely. Field Of grain,
farm houses, fences and orchards, to-
gether with immense tracts of cedar
and pine, are burning. The HemleCk
roads, east Of here, are impossible, and
no correct list of the losses can be
given, as accounts conflict.
Browns Camp, on Hope Creek, was
burned yesterday, with a lot of
sleighs and climbing equipagea. Re.
ports are received that horses, cattle
and other stock are burning, and that
the farmers are deserting their homes.
At5 pm. heavy storm set in, lasting
