A Dog Dying of Grief.
The last issue of the Forest and Stream contains the following touching story of a dog's love for his master:
About two weeks ago a man named Parcels, a blacksmith, residing near Dobb's Ferry, went hunting "coons" at night. His companions consisted of a neighbor, residing close by, and a faithful dog, apparently a cross between the setter and fox-hound. While searching for game at Sneeden's Landing on the Hudson River, Parcels approached the Palisades, and by some mishap lost his balance and fell down a distance of thirty feet. His friend having missed him, sought him, and by diligent search found him lying where he had fallen and his faithful dog by his side moaning piteously. On attempting to approach the body, the usually friendly animal strongly protested by growls and threatening attitudes, and even jumping forward whenever the effort at drawing nigh was essayed. The man seeing that his companion was seriously injured, went for aid, and in a short time returned with a surgeon and some friends, but the dog, which lay with its head across the body, refused to let them touch the treasure it so faithfully guarded. They were at length compelled to club him most unmercifully to drive him away from his post. An examination proved that life was extinct, so the remains were placed in a boat and a piece of canvas thrown over them. The dog, half dead from the beating, on seeing the disposal made, jumped into the boat also, and, seeking shelter under the cover, placed his head across his master's face, and remained there until a landing was effected. The body was then placed in a wagon and conveyed home; but no sooner had it been covered than the loving friend sought his old post.
After the burial the dog became much depressed, refused its food, and wandered listlessly about, moaning in a low, nervous tone, and beheadless of everything. He would pay no attention to any of the inmates of the house, and all their efforts could not cause him to manifest any signs of recognition. After dragging along for a week, apparently without food or water, and suffering from a severe nervous prostration, he finally died—a martyr to his own love.

A country gentleman lately arrived at Boston and immediately resumed to the Proceedings of Congress.

Dawes, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, reported the refusal of R. B. Irwin to answer certain questions asked him by the committee respecting his distribution of the $750,000 received from the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to aid in procuring the additional subsidy for the China mail service. The report of Irwin's examination was then read, and Dawes moved its adoption in order that the Speaker might issue his warrant for the arrest of Irwin for contempt. After a long discussion this motion was agreed to. But it seems to be made of no avail, for the next day Dawes presented a medical certificate that Richard B. Irwin, witness in the Pacific Mail investigation, is not in a physical condition to present himself at the bar of the House, or be subjected to any mental excitement.
Dawes remarked that the Committee of Ways and Means under the circumstances would not instruct the Sergeant-at-arms to bring Irwin before the House.
Dawes then offered a resolution authorizing the committee to hold sessions for the inven-sion in New York.

A Horse not Your Wife's Cousin.
A country gentleman lately arrived at Boston and immediately repaired to the house of a relative—a lady who had married a merchant of that city. The parties were glad to see him, and invited him to their house as his home, as he declared his intention of remaining in that city but a day or two.
The husband of the lady, anxious to show his attention to a relative and friend of his wife, took the gentleman's horse to a livery stable in Hanover street.
Finally the visit became a visitation, and the merchant, after a lapse of eleven days, found, besides lodging and boarding the gentleman, a pretty considerable bill had run up at the livery stable. Therefore he went to the man who kept the stable and told him when he took the horse he would pay the bill.
"Very good, sir," said the stable keeper; "I understand you."
Accordingly, in a short time, the country gentleman went to the stable and ordered his horse to be got ready. The bill, of course, was presented.
"Oh!" said the gentleman, "Mr. — my relative, will pay this."
"Very well, sir," said the stable keeper. "Please get an order from Mr. — It will be the same as money."
The horse was put up again, and down went the country gentleman to Long Wharf, where the merchant kept.
"Well," said he, "I am going now."
"Are you?" said the merchant. "Well, good-bye, sir."
"Well, about the horse—the man says the bill must be paid for his keeping."
"Well, I suppose that's all right."
"Yes—well, but you know I'm your wife's cousin."
"Yes," said the merchant, "I know; but your horse is not!"
Heat and Hydrophobia.
The mysterious influence of the "dog-days" upon the canine race is an opinion of the greatest antiquity, dating back apparently to Annubis, the dog-form of the Egyptian Apollo, whose appearance in the heavens was a premonition of impending danger. It probably had some connection with the Kunophontia heorte, a festival of the Argives marked by the destruction of many dogs. In the "Iliad," Homer mentions Orion's dog as affecting human health disastrously. Pansanias, in his "Travels in Greece," alluding to the story of Actaeon's destruction by his own hounds, was inclined to attribute the myth to the circumstance that the season had caused the pack of the famous hunter to run mad. Pliny remarks in his "Historia Naturalis," that "canine madness is fatal to man during the heat of Sirius, and proves so in consequence of those who are bitten having a deadly horror of water. For such reason, during the thirty days ship Company to aid in procuring the additional subsidy for the China mall service. The report of Irwin's examination was then read, and Dawes moved its adoption in order that the Speaker might issue his warrant for the arrest of Irwin for contempt. After a long discussion this motion was agreed to. But it seems to be made of no avail, for the next day Dawes presented a medical certificate that Richard B. Irwin, witness in the Pacific Mail investigation, is not in a physical condition to present himself at the bar of the House, or be subjected to any mental excitement.
Dawes remarked that the Committee of Ways and Means under the circumstances would not instruct the Sergeant-at-arms to bring Irwin before the House.

Resolved That the Senate recognizes the validity of the credentials of P. B. S. Pinchback, and certified by Governor Wm. P. Kellogg, of Louisiana, under the seal of the aforesaid State. And that the Committee on Privileges and Elections are instructed to examine and report that said P. B. S. Pinchback is entitled to be admitted on the prima facie case thus made, or if such admission should be postponed till an investigation be made as to charges of corruption in his election, alleged against him.
Thurman objected to the present consideration of the resolution and it went over.
In the absence of Vice-President Wilson, Carpenter was chosen President pro tem. of The Senate.

There is a story of a country clergyman who was sent for suddenly to go to a cottage where he found a man in bed. "Well, my friend," said the pastor, "what induced you to send for me!"

That the Senate recognizes the validity of the credentials of P. B. S. Pinchback, and certified by Governor Wm. P. Kellogg, of Louisiana, under the seal of the aforesaid State. And that the Committee on Privileges and Elections are instructed to examine and report that said P. B. S. Pinchback is entitled to be admitted on the prima facie case thus made, or if such admission should be postponed till an investigation be made as to charges of corruption in his election, alleged against him.
Thurman objected to the present consideration of the resolution and it went over.
In the absence of Vice-President Wilson, Carpenter was chosen President pro tem. of the Senate.
There was considerable discussion in regard to the method of governing the District of Columbia, the pending amendment being Morton's, to provide for the election instead of the appointment of Commissioners.
Although much was said on both sides no action was taken.
A motion was made by Boreman that the vote by which the Senate, in May last, rejected the bill to establish the Territory of Pembina, and provide a temporary government therefor, be reconsidered and the bill recommitted to the Committee on Territories. Agreed to.
Edmunds called up the House bill to provide for the authentication of the Revised Statutes of the United States, and to preserve the original laws. Passed.
On motion of Sherman, the pending bill to provide a better government for the District of Columbia was laid aside; and the Senate proceeded to consider the bill to provide for the resumption of specie payment. Sherman disclaimed any person to reopen the financial debate of last year, but assured the Senate that every word and line of the bill tended toward the announcement in its title. He then explained the bill, and said the first section, providing for the redemption of fractional currency with coin, met the approval of both the Secretary of the Treasury and the President. The second section, which repealed the law making a charge for coling at United States mines, required a sacrifice on the part of the Government to the extent of $50,000 per annum. The third section provided for free banking. Under the present law, banking was virtually free in some of the Western and Southern States, but in the great commercial States it was not. This free banking section, therefore, provided for an enlargement of the volume of currency in case the business of the country demanded it. It also proposed to reduce United States notes to the extent of eighty per cent. of the amount of new banknotes issued. The section did not propose either a construction or expansion of the currency, leaving this to be governed by the business wants of the country. The bill also provided ample means to maintain and provide for speech resumption, and no one doubled, if the bill became a law, that specie payments would be resumed by the Ist of January, 1879.
The Pacific Mail Subdivision investigation does not seem to reach any satisfactory conclusion as to what became of the $200,000. Irwin refuses to answer the most important questions, but it seems quite evident that the directors of the company never authorized the spending of over $10,000, and that for legitimate expenses.
SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
Business has continued good in all departments of trade for the week past, with perhaps a slight interruption on account of the holidays. Grain and domestic produce have been coming steadily forward, the demand continuing good, and the unusually pleasant weather favoring the producers in transporting their grain, without damage, to the seaboard. Already, according to the best estimates, has at least one-half of our surplus crop been exported, and with a continuance of business for the next three months at the same rate of export we shall be relieved of any apprehensions in regard to the future. The tonnage disengaged is still very large, say 45,000 tons, consequently rates of freight are very low, and declining. Charters are at this date offered at less than £3 for first-class grain vessels to ports in the United Kingdom direct. The price of wheat remains unchanged. Flour is weak at current rates. Barley is in fair demand, and for the best brewing prices have declined. Oats are steady and firm. Corn has declined, most of that received being in poor condition—damp and wet. Rye is in light demand. Buckwheat is in fair request. Beans are in demand at good prices. Potatoes of good quality are hard to obtain, even at advanced prices. Onions are in demand at better prices. Wool is more inquired for, and prices are hardening.
WHEAT—Transactions have been large during the past week, chiefly for export, and the large fleet of ships in our harbor are being loaded and dispatched as fast as the grain can be brought forward from the interior. Prices remain steady at our last quotations. Transactions for the week as far as reported aggregate $2,000 cents, in lots within the range of $1.25@1.55, the latter for the best white for milling purposes. The latest Liverpool quotations are 9s 10d@10s 2d and 10s4d@10s 8d for club. The receipts for the week amount to 367,000 sacks, and within the same period 158 sacks have been dispatched for the United Kingdom, carrying 5,019,000 centals wheat and flour valued at $8,004,000. The rates of freight paid at this date to United Kingdom is £3, shippers giving the preference to iron ships.
FLOUR—An exceedingly active business is in progress; the demand is brisk, prices remaining stationary at our last quotation. Nearly all the mills are busy, running full time, turning out large quantities both for local use and for export. We note a contract concluded with the Vallejo Starr Mills for 20,000 bbls for export. We give the following as wholesale rates for cargo lots: Superior $3.90@40; Standard brands, $4.20@430; Extra Superior, $4.50; Bakers' and Family Extra $4.75@50; Extra silk dressed $5.00@512 bbl.
BARLEY—The demand for export continues fairly with a falling off in price. The shipments East by rail during the months of November and December are estimated at an aggregate in round numbers of 14,000,000 bbls. We note sales as follows: 2,600 sks extra choice heavy Bright Brewing, $1.50; 5,000 sks Bay, $1.45; 2,500 sks Bright do., $1.40@1.42%; 1,500 sks light do., $1.32@1.35; 10,000 sks Bright Coast Brewing, $1.37@1.39; 4,500 sks Coast Feed, $1.29@1.29%. At the close,the national Gold Medal was awarded to Bradley & Hulleton, San Francisco, for the best photographs in the United States.

We call attention to the advertisement of the Consolidated Tobacco Company in another place. This company is developing an important industry, and the superior quality of their manufactures should be considered a matter of pride to the Pacific Coast, as well as a subject of immediate importance to all dealers in tobacco and cigars. Consumers are not slow in discovering the excellence of their goods.

VIENNA EXPOSITION PRIZE MEDAL.
California Photography the Best in the World.
THE PRIZE PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY.
California has again gathered fresh laurels at the Vienna Exposition for her superior artistry and productive industries. Messrs. Bradley & Rulofson have just received through the Secretary of State at Washington, the Vienna Medal for the best specimens of photography on exhibition at the World's Fair. The large display of Yosemite views was especially commended.
This is another tribute to the unsurpassed and finished work done by this world-renowned establishment. The reputation of this well-known firm was long since established all over the Pacific Coast, and when they bore off the honors over all competitors, and were awarded the Gold Medal at Philadelphia, it was but the echo of the popular verdict, long since given to them here. Their reputation as photographers then became national. But now when the decision from across the water is but a re-echo of the national award this side, it must be conceded that the tribute is but just and impartial—an equitable and well-deserved testimonial to the active enterprise and indefatigable business test displayed by this firm in every department of photographic art. That their fame should be world-wide is not surprising.

A WORK OF ART
Is, to bring into bold relief THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTER, or some capital quality, the predominance of which must be made as striking as possible.
The real artist displays his genius just here, in suppressing whatever conceals it, selecting whatever manifests it, and correcting every detail by which it is enfeebled.
Hence, we observe in Bradley & Rulofson's noted collection of celebrities such marvelous nicity of attitude, expression, gesture, abandonment, costume, drapery, action, outline—whatever is requisite to make predominate the essential character.
The instinct of genius enables the artist to catch the salient characteristics of his subject, and so produce a life-like picture. What wonder that such work gives unqualified satisfaction! What wonder that in this elite studio we see every person of note who has ever visited the Pacific Coast for the last twenty-five years—statesmen, noblemen, actors, authors, divines, lecturers and others whose talent culture wealth or birth give them place among the celebrities of the world!

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.
How common is the announcement. Thousands are suddenly swept into eternity by this fatal malady. This disease generally has its origin in impure blood, filled with irritating, poisonous materials, which circulating through the heart irritates its delicate tissues. Though the irritation may at first be only slight, producing a little palpitation or irregular action, or dull, heavy, or sharp,darting pains, yet by and by the disease becomes firmly seated,and inflammation or hypertrophy,或 thickening of the lining membrane or of the valves is produced. How wise to give early attention to a case of this kind.Unnatural throbbing or pain in the region of the heart should admonish one that all is not right,and if you would preserve it from further disease,you must help it to beat rightly by the man of such a remedyas will remove the cause of the trouble. Use Dr.Pierre's Golden Medical Discovery before the disease has become too seated,and it willby its great blood purifying and wonderful regulating property,effect a perfect cure. It contains medicinal properties which act specifically upon the tissues of the heart,bringing on a healthy action.Sold by all first-class Druggists.
