"1 once knew a very eccentric
dog " says a writer in Bailey's Ma-
gazine; "he was a real old English
spaniel, with long body, short leg's
With great bone, grand head, jaws
and teeth like a wolf's almost, and
ting ears that would meet his nose.
Poul fellow! his temper was cer-
tainly unamiable, but I think this
was caused by Lite state of his
health.
"He was a very curious animal,
never showing 110011 attachment to
any one; he would bite his hest
frends on the least provocation. No-
thing, though, offended him su 11101011
as being laughed at -that was an ba-
salt he never forgave. If you be-
gan to laugh at him he would growl
in a very ominous manner, and if
you persisted in it would snap at
you and give you melt a bite that
you would not care Lo try again.
"If you wished to please hint you
load to get e lot of old birds' nests
and give them to hint, one by one;
he would carry them about for some
time and then he would sit down
and tear them to pieces. He was
nus particularly fond of going for a
walk with any one, but if you got
sonic nests and !;ave. Lint enc occa-
sionally he would trot along with
yon as happily as possible.
"Another: curious habit of his was
the-- he, would never got out of the
sato for any one, When ht' was
trotting along he never moved from
his line if he sate any one coating,
bol, if he stew they did not intend
to move, would begin to growl and
