Sledge Dogs.
Forrest and Stream. ]

Kamschatkan dogs are probably the most
sagacious of all feral types, and are employed
and trained in the most careful manner for the
multitudinous services required of them. Soon
after birth they are placed with their dam in 4
deep pit, that they may see neither man nor
beast, and after having been weaned are con-
demned to solitary confinement for six months,
at the end of which time they are put to a
sIedge with other dogs, aud being extremely
shy and frightened withal they run as fast as
they can until they become blown and cowed.
After this trial they are remanded to their
pit, where they remain off and on until they
are thoroughly trained and sedge- broken.
This severe education s0urs their temper amaz-
ingly, and makes them anything but compan-
ionable. Drivers are frequently obliged to stun
them by a blow on tile nose before unharness-
ing them, on account of their savage nature.
Besides drawing sledges they tow boats up
rivers in Summer and keep their masters warm
in Winter nights. They are remarkable
weather prophets and discount the Signal Serv-
ice Bureau, for, if when resting on a journey
they dig holes in the snow, there is certain to
be a storm. They are of the husky type,
shaggy, with erect curling bushy tails, and not
very sharp noses and ears. They live exclHs-
lively on fish, which they catch for themselves.
In Winter their ration comprises 40 frozen her.

In future letters I viii endeavor to describe
to you all the curiosities. The railways
brought 161 $40 strangers or visitors on the
opening day, and it is estimated that fully
800 600 people were out in their best to see the
grand sights All the different trades were in

and made good display. But the flag is low

The paper ON which bank notes arc printed
is called distinctive paper" being used ex-
clusively by the Government for the printing
of bonds and current notes. The mills where
it is manufactured are at Glen Falls, West
Chester Co., Pa. An agent Of the Treasury De-
partment receives the paper direct from the
hands of the manufacturer, and every precau-
tion is observed in order to prevent any loss.
Short scraps of red silk are mixed with the
liquid pulp in an engine.
The finished material is conducted to q wire
cloth without passing through any screens,
which might retain the silken threads. An
arrangement above the wire cloth scatters a
shower of fine scraps of blue-silk thread, which
falls upon the paper while it is being formed.
The side on which the blue silk is deposited is
used for the back of notes, and the threads
are so deeply imbedded as to remain perma-
nently fixed. Each sheet is registered as soon
as it is made

The City Markets.

The official price current of the Washington
produce exchange, says: Flour in nominal in
quiry, as buyers are allowing their stock to
run low in view of the closing year. Choice
grades of milling wheat in good demand. The
demand for mill feed is constant. with only fair
offerings. Hay in short supply and market
active. Rye straw steady. There is little, il
any change, to note in the butter market.
Daily receipts of eggs increasing. Market
dull and tendency is to lower prices. Poultry
in light receipt and active demand for choice
stock. Apples in large supply and low prices
ruling on car lots. All other than choicest
variety neglected. Irish potatoes in heavy
receipt Onions steady Quail and pheasants
are scarce; rabbits plentiful. Venison out
lawed in this District after january Receipts
OF both cattle and sheep have been small dur
ing the week, but sufficient for limited supply.
A change to colder weather will improve
prices. Veal calves in light receipt and good
demand.
