A merchant about 12 months old, which always slept in the in his stablo a Dalmatian dog, stall of a horse between whom and himself strong affection existed. A covered bemper of carrota stood in the stable, and one of the man, observing that the contents were disappearing faster than should, kept watza.

Не discovered that the culprit was the Dalmatian dog, which when all was quiet, left his bed by open, and took a carrot, which he carried to the the horse, went to the hamper, deftly pushed it
horse He was seen to do this on many necasions; le navor took more than one carrot at a time, and neret gave it to any but his own particular friend.
The Peking Tinics says:-The object of the Ioan which has been floated in London and Berlin at 97. is to meet the deficiency existing between the silver payments of the indomaity actually made and the gold payments thereof which China has agreed to make. The amo
amonal could of course be very easily paid up withent any foreign loan at all, as we know by the large saus being continually remitted to Peking for quite other ракрочая, And as instanced by the scandalous waste of money allered to have taken place in connection with the Empress Dowager's birthday in spite of Imperial pro- testations against any unnecessary divergence of the national funds. For many monthe nast the question of enforcing the "thuemanty on a gold ba-is has been engrossing the attention of the diplomats and the central Government in Peking, Erst, as to whether the indemnity was a gold or a silver debt; secondly allowing it to be the former, as to the precise mother of payment and rate of exchange binding on Chian in jaging it. Great divergence of opinion has existed in regard to the latter, the Fontes moking the smallest original claim being those most ready now to fall in with China's proposals, und to leave her a
a free ham in
the COAL regard to parshuse
of her gold, in any way most advan tagoons to herself. The question of a silver payment was created by Chisa on the great S63 fall in silver which took place subsequent to restoration to normal conditions, though the rato ef exchange on which o gold payment was to he made was eboarly stipulated in the Protocol in Article VI.
