The American patriot., 1855-03-21

FANCY DoGs-A recent traveller in South
america accompanied a number Of ,Iumna
lrdisns on a tapir hunt, says that besides the
hunters, their party was composed OF most OF
the women and boys of their village, together
with score or two of dogs. OF the latter he
he al Is "rhese dogs were curious creatures
to look nj. A stranger, ignorant of the Gus
toms of the Jumnas, would have been at some
loss to account for the popularity of their
color. Such dogs have never seen before.
Some were of bright scarlet, others were
yellow, others blue. and some notified with a
variety of tints. What could it mean? But
knew well enough. The dogs were dyed.
Yes, it is the custom among many tribes of
South American Indians to dye not only their
own bottles, but the hairy coat of their dogs,
With brilliant coiors obtained from vegetable
Juices, such as the red huitoc, the yellow ro-
Goa and the blue of the white indigo The
Ign. gray, often whit, hair of these animals
favors the staining process; and the effect
pro luced pleascs the eye Of their savage mas
tiers. On my eye the effect was strange and
taatsstical. | could not restrain my laughter
when first scanned these ours in their fanci-
FIJI coats. Picture to yourself a pack Of scar
let, AMI orange, and purple dogs!"

SHOPPING.

She stood beside the counter,
The day he'll ne'er forget,
She thought the muslins dearer
Than any she'd seen yet;
He watched her playful fingers
The silks and satins toss,
The clerk looked quite uneasy,
And nodded at the lose.
"Show ME some velvet ribbon,
Barege and satin turk"
She said II want to purchase"
Then gave the goods Il jerk;
The clerk was all obedience,
He Travelled ION his shape :"
AT length, with hesitation,
She bought yard Of tape!
