Policemen Smith tells US of singular
act perpetrated by small dog of the COM


mon cur species, owned 10y family on the
south side TIE dog and cat had been


brought up together and affiliated better
than dogs and cats generally do. A week
ago the cat sickened and died. The dog


missed its companion very much and for
some days went about the house whining
pitiously and seeming to call for its miss
ing mate as we'll as searching every place
for it. If offered food it would take it to
the door Of the little kennel where both had


slept and laying it down would whine for
the missing cat to come and eat. Finding
that the cat did not come the animal re-
fused to eat, nor could coaxing or petting
induce it to. Yesterday afternoon the dog


was seen by the family wandering about
the yard, whining more pitiously than
ever and of sudden to throw itself into
cistern, the cover of which had been left


OH for few moments. A member of the
family made all haste to getthe animal out


and when he did so the poor, faithful,


mourning friend was dead as a stone,-had
taken It's own life from sorrow and regret.
Mr. Smith truly says, that if anybody can
beat this for dog story and a true one
too, let him make his report at once, and


we feel good deal after the opinion of the
story teller.-EUening Wisconsin,.

The P0StOffiCe-uayOr Hopkins


During the past two days there has been
considerable speculation and talk in regard
to the Postmastership at this place. On
Thursday it was currently reported that
dispatches had been received stating the
rejection of Major Hopkins by the Senate,
and all sorts of eonjectures were indulged
in as to who would be his successor. No
such dispatch, it appears, was received
The state of the case, up to this writing, as
we understand it, is about this: Several
months since the case Of Major Hopkins
came up before the Senate, and his con-
firmation was rejected by one U0te. Mo-
ton was made to reconsider the vote of re-
lection. Since then this motion has been
pending, but has not been acted upOn, and
Mr.. Hopkins has continued to discharge
his duties as Postmaster. For some time
past he has been in Washington, anxioUsly
awaiting the final result of this motion.
On Thursday the case, he thought, would
be presented He telegraphed to friends
here that his case would be presented that
day, and out Of these dispatches grew the
report of rejection. Dispatches received
from Washington yesterday indicated that
his case would possibly be passed over
without any action on the motion to recon
sider Yesterday being the day fixed for
adjournment, this failure to reconsider
unless something supervene growing out
of the convention of Congress in extra ses-
sion prevents, would be fatal to him, as
tantamount to his rejection, placing the
appointment of a successor in the hands of
the President Later dispatches before
we go to press may throw more light upon
the subject.

RumOrcd Seizure OF Refill by his


Own SoIGierS-DrOwned.


ST. PAUL, July IA rumor is circu-
lated in the city from Red river that Refill
has been seized and confined by his own
guards for fear that he would escape across
the border on the approach of the Canadian
expedition. The authority for this rumor
is not known, but it is positively asserted
that Refill had been for several days under
the surveillance of his guards, who had
openly declared that they would shoot him
if he attempted to escape. The disguised
insurgents say that he led them into this
difficulty, and he merits the punishment if
any one is punished. If reports are true,
the assertion of Bishop Toche-telegraphed
few days ago-that Refill had received
assurance of imperial amnesty, are un-
founded.

r. FREDERICK GRANDSON, on


4V1 leaving college with high honors,
took up his abode with his Uncle Philip,


and for five years led the most quiet and
studious life imaginable.


Uncle Philip, who was a wealthy old


bachelor, proposed making Frederick his


heir. Relying on the bounty of his excel


lent relation, the young man neglected to


make himself master of any profession


preferring to devote his time and talents to
the qualification of his literary tastes, which


induced him to explore the dusky realms of
the classics, as well as the brighter regions
of modern poetry and philosophy. Yet
Frederick was not so much a book-worm, as
to be altogether dead to the pleasures of So
ciety. AS an ardent lover of beauty he
sought it, and admired it when found,
whether in books, in nature, OF in the hui
man mind


Frederick required that others should
sympathize in the enthusiasm of his soul.
This necessity it was, rather than his love
of natural beauty, which first interested
him in the character of little Rose Addison,
the only child of poor widow, who occu-
pied, rent free, one of his uncle's cottages.
Rose, at that time, was only fourteen !;
simple in her manners pure-minded as an
infant, full of vitality mirthful, sympa-
thetic, q perfect charm of feminine beauty.
Frederick observed her scrupulous neat
ness her cheerful morning songs, which
scared to heaven like the lark's, thrilled his
soul; her taste in the cultivation of flowers
delighted him and surprising her one day,
F. as she wept and laughed over the pages of
favorite poet Of his own, he was drawn
= towards her irresistibly. OF course, her
bewitching beauty had nothing to do with


the interest with which he was inspired
Roses beautifully simple nature was
i spread out before our hero, like pure and
4 spotless page, inviting his hand to write
Frederick saw his power. He trembled,
Z even whilst he rejoiced at it. Well was it


for Rose that the handsome, engaging man,


whom she so much admired, had a soul of
the noblest aspirations, q heart of truest
4 honor!


4 sFrederick resolved to devote himself to
the development of all that was pure and
bright and good in her nature. He became


too deeply engaged in his task to care for
other society than hers. AS her teacher,
her guide, her friend, he obtained the most
perfect influence over her he moulded her
character at his will he saw her grow up,
a beautiful, undetermined woman; of all
his studies, it was in her that he took most
interest and delight. He selected her books !;
he taught her music, French and Italian !;
and more than all, he instructed her in the


actualities and the highest duties of life.


Uncle Philip was by no means displeased


to see his nephew thus engaged He still


looked upon Rose as "pretty little girl, :"


even when she had arrived at the maturity
bf eighteen. He thought it very kind in


Frederick to lend her books, and be her
teacher. Uncle Philip was benevolent
Enan himself, and he was glad to see his
nephew benevolent also.


But Uncle Philip had not the most dis
tant suspicion that Frederick could design

WAS only her fathers housekeeper,
Il Marian Douglass - Aunt Nanny she
used to call me-a decent Scotch body and
old-time nurse to Lindsey's mother
Mrs. Walton had been Scotch. 1t was from
thence that the girl got her name and her
bonny yellow hair.


Colonel Walton was rich, and Lindsey
was his heiless, but when she was little,
fair-faced bairn, slumbering in her tiny cot,
l used to shed tears Of pity over her, for
"he's but poor that's i'll loved" as they
used to say in the old country, and no one
on earth loved Lindsey when she was
child but her old Aunt Nanny. But, as
she grew older, / used TO temble, looking
at her. Her cheeks took on hue like the
sunset, her blue eyes grew more and more
wlnsone, and then her hair was a glory
about her when she was scarce fourteen.


Her father was always surly with her. He
had hoped that the child would have been
a boy-it was Jeanies only one-and when
he found that it was daughter which God
had given him, he glowered on the little
sleeping face, turned away, and it is true
for me that he did not know his own child.
two years Later, when he met her in the
porch walking with a servant.


"Who's little one have you there ?' he
asked Nan.


"Your own, sir" straightway answ cred
the honest girl.


He gazed moment on the little pink face
then offered the child his hand-but she
would not take it ; and he shrugged his
shoulders and went away.


1t was just after this that we came to
Larch Lanes 10 live the new country seat
which Colonel Walton had named after his
old English home.


There were beautiful grounds to it. The
larches grew everywhere, sometimes in
long rows with wild grapevines lacing them
together. Only the undergrowth was kept
out, and the shade was beautiful. But tbe
garden was highly cultivated. A great deal
of the ornamental shrubbery was FOREIGN.
There was double row of graceful French
poplars along the terrace, and below Law
the whole smiling garden, a great web of
color AT the south end was a summer
house, all open, and the pillars twined with
vines-roses, jasmine and clematis. Here
Lindsey used to sit for hours with her book
and her dog. He was no blinking little
Blenhelm, but an enormous great wolf
mastlH whom Lindsey had adopted when
he was mendicant puppy, and cherished
into the most magnificent proportions
The two were inseparable. She would sit
upon his back and ride down the garden
path as if he were pony.

though it issued from the throat Of a
human, prOunee the words - Your

words came an assurance that the an

it was from his family, concerning the

CHEAP WAY TO FEED A Horse. In
the spring or midsummer, when hay
and gr ain get dry and harsh, 1t is not
best, nor always safe, to feed grain and
hay in bulk. for there is danger Of
permanent injury to the horse, although
the usual process Of lnoisteniDg the feed
IL gone through with. The cheapest
and by far the easiest way for the tired
horse, is to cut the hay or straw with o
suitable cutter. Mixing oats, bran,
shorts or meal with 1t, and thoroughly
mixing, you will then relieve the horse;
for he will get through with his feed IN
a reasonable time, and can lie down to
rest, instead Of being obliged to stand
Up all night to eat his hay. This IL the
cheapest method Of feeding a horse, and
the healthiest way also. The heaviest
teams used in teamiDg over the mount
aims OF the south are fed in this way

dust, and those horses are scarcely
known to be sick, to have the heaves or
