A C:lever Dog,
From the Lomlon Spectator. May 30. J
Some time uxo I sent you my recol
lections of a dog who kuew it liulf
penny from a penny, ami wbo could
count up as far as two. 1 have been
able to obtain authentic intoraation
of a don whose mental powers were
still more advanced, aud wbo, in his
day, besides being celebrated for his
abilities, was of substantial benefit
toa charitable institution in his town.
The dog I refer to was a little white
for terrier, Prin by name, who lived
at the Lion Hotel, at Kidderminster,
for three or four years; hut n<>w,
alas! he is dead, and nothing re
mains of him but his head iu a glass
case. I had heard of this dog some
months ago, but on Saturday last,
having to uruke a visit to Kidder
minster, I went to see him. The
facts 1 give about him are based on
the statements of Mr. Lloyd, his
master, and they are fully substanti
ated by the evidence of many others.
I have before me a statement of the
proceeds uf "Dog Prin’s box. Lion
Hotel; subscriptions to the infirma
ry.” The contributions began in
September, 1871, and ended ou April
25, 1870, aud during that period the
sum of £l3 14s. Od. was contributed
through Prin's instrumentality. He
began by displaying a fancy for play
ing with coins, not unusual amongst
terriers, and he advanced to a dis
covery that he could exchange the
coins for biscuits. He learned that
for a halfpenny he could get two bis
cuits, and for a penny, three; and
having become able to distinguish
between the two coins, it was found
impossible to cheat him. If he had
contributed a penny, be would not
leave the bar till be had his third
biscuit; and if there was nobody to
attend to his wants, he kept the coin
in his mouth till he could be served.
Indeed, it was this persistence which
ultimately caused poor Prin’s death,
for there is every reason to fear that
he fell a victim to copper-poisoning.
By a little training he was taught, to
place tne coins, after he had got the
biscuits, upon tbe top of a small box
fixed on the wall, and they dropped
for him through a slot. He never
objected to part with them in this
way, and having received the quid
pro quo, he gave complete evidence
of his appreciation of the honorable
understanding which is so absolute
ly necessary for all commercial
transactions. An authenticated case
like this is of extreme value, for just
as the elementary stages of tiny
science or discovery are the most
difficult and the slowest in aecom
plisnment, so are the primary stages
of all mental processes. To find
the preliminary steps of the evolu
tion of mathematics and commerce
in a dog is therefore a very impor
tant observation, and everything
bearing on these early phases of in
tellect should bo carefully recorded.

Arrangements have been made by
which the United States will have a
national standard of time. Ii will be
Washiugton time, and in all tbe
cities of the country having over
twenty thousand inhabitants a ball
is to be dropped at noon. As soon as
arrangemeuts eon be completed, a
standard clock in Washington will
be connected with clicks iu citfi a
and railway depots. Tbe noon time
is already marked in New York
When it is noon by the Wa*h!ngt
time it is 12.12 p. M. at New York. At
Akron it would be 11.41 a. .:. ; and at

An Interestlmr Incident.
A correspondent of the Illustrated
Christian Weekly, who is a teller in a
bank, gives the following and vouches
for its truth:
An old lailv called at the bank with her
book, and asked to have all of her money
She had not been to the bank in nineteen
years, and at that time she had a balance
of'five dollars only. The account, with
the accumulated interest, amounted to
over fourteen dollars. She seemed over
come with emotion when she found out
how much was coming to her, and went
back to the teller, asking him to redepnsit
five dollars, as she did not wish to have so
much money about. In the conversation
that followed she told the clerk that she
had passed through a great many trials,
having lost her husband more than twen
ty years ago. For the past two or three
yitars she ims often been in extreme want:
the only work she was able to procure
latterly was making button holes. Last
week she obtained some coal from tin
city; but on Saturday she took back tin
skirts she had been working on for two
weeks, expecting to receive her pay, two
dollars; but for some reason they would
not pay her. HUe went home, not know
ing what to do. She had eaten nothing
for a day. At last she kneeled down
and ask-id God to show her some way th .t
she might not starve or be compelled to
beg. Rising from her knees, the thought
came to her to open a trunk th it she find
not opened for years. She hoped sin
might find something either to selll or
pawn. On turning over its contents, she
came across the bank-book that I have
mentioned, and which she had long for
gotten.
Don't you think the above a good il
lustration of a direct answer to prayer?
lir. Sctienck's Pulmonic Aeiil
Soa Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Fills. -
These medicines have undoubtedly per
formed more cures of consumption than
any other remedy known to the Ameri
can public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients,and contain nothing
which can be injurious to tbe human con
stitution. Other remedies advertised as
cures for consumption, probably contain
opium, which is a somewhat dangerous
drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great
injury; for its tendency is to confine the
morbid matter in the system, which, or
course, must make a cure impossible.
Schenek’s Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not to contain a particle of opium; it is
composed of powerful but harmless herbs,
which act on the lungs, liver, stomach,
and blood, and thus correct, all moil.id
secretions, and expel ail the diseased mat
ter from the body. These are the only
means by which consumption can be
cured, and as Schenek's Pulmonic Si rup,
Sea Weed Tonic, Mandrake Pills are
the onfr medicines which operate in is
way, it Is obvious they are the only gen
uine cure for Pulmonary Consumption
Bach bottle of this invaluable medicine is
accompanied by full directions. Ur.

office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Aprue, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
&c., and indeed all the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, or mias
matic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in malari
ous districts demand. Its great superiority over
any other medicine yet discovered for the euro
of is, that it contains no quinine or
mineral, and those wbo take it are free from
danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using it as before. It has
been extensively employed during the last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing dis
orders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained tbe reputation of being infalli
ble. It can, bo safely recommend!* as a sure
remedy and specific for the Fever and Ague of
the West, and (lie Chills and Fever of the
South, which, cnco broken up by it, do not
return until tbe disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such as Neu
ralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenic
Affections, Hysterics, Pain in the Bow
els, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of
the Stomach, all of which become Intermittent
or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayer’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is of immense service In those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails,
as it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complnfnfff, arising from
torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates
this organ into healthy activity, and produces
many remarkable cures where other medicines
fail.
