EXTRAORDINARY DOG.-At AIdcrshott camp there
is n large spaniel, belonging To n sergeant in the
RoyalArtillery, who has been taught by his master,
during tedious days Of camp life, to perform tricks
that are almost marvellous. The dog IS p~erectin his
drill, marching slow, quick, and at the double, in
obedience to the word OF command. After he had
been put through his PAGES, his master called him
up, and asked his opinion Of the various regiments
on the ground Were the Plnngers the best CORPSE
no signs of approval. We're the 42d Foot ;-silence
on the part of the dog. After going over n half-a-
dozen names, the master asked, exactly in the same
tone as that in which he had put his previous ques-
tons, the dogs opinion OF the Royal Artillery. lie
instantly burst out into Joyous barking, jumping
about and rolling. The sergeant then called for
three cheers for the King Of Prussia no sounds

a volley Of Resembling barks that echoed again.
ISACTIvTrY OF THE SOUTHERN AHMY.--Our tele-
graphic dispatches inform US that the Southern
Secretary OF War Is severely criticised at Richmond.
We find in the richmond correspondence of the
Savannah -Ntrs, Of Aug. p, the following state
ment r.f
1.-The chief topic of conversation here is the in
activity Of the army. Much criticism has been passed
upon Gen. BeauregaTd and those whe are believed to
direct the movements of the army, more particularly
respecting his failure TO occupy or destroy Alexandria
and Washington city. Congress called for Informal
ton on this point, and the president referred the
inquiry to Gen. Beauregard, who in his answer plac-
ell the blame where it really belonged. He had been
for weeks almost beseeching the War Department to
supFly him with the material needful to carry on the
war-men, ammunition, provisions, wagons, but the
Quartermaster's and COmmissariat Departments being
in incompetent hands, the battle day came, and found
our generals without the means of carrying the army
forward. Quite an acrimonious debate sprung up in
the House upon the reading Of this answer, in which
Messrs- Miles and Chestnut, of South. Carolina,
who had been on the staff of Gen. Beauregard ut
Manassas, and had supported him in n most gallant
manner during that eyentful day, found il neces-
ssry to vindicate their great chief from the aspersions
which certain members we're disposed to throw ont
against his MILITARY reputation. Since the Dist of
July many circumstances have combined TO keep our
troops in n stationary position. Rain has fallen in
great quantities and almost incesslntly, rendering
the roads impossible for heavy wagon transportation,
and the marching oflarge bodies of troops. and there
has been a great deal of sicknes among our soldiers
probably twenty pei cent. are at this time unfit for
duty.
Az Arctic SToRY.-In the spring of the year 1910,
n whaling vessel sailed from the port OF London upon
n voyage to the Polar Seas. Nothing material is said
to have occurred until their arrival in those solitary
regions, when il became the duty of the crew to keep
n perpetual lookout upon the horizon in search Of
FISH. While thus occupied, it was fancied by one of
the seamen that a sail was discernible, as far to the
nOrthward as the eye could reach. As the course Of
the whaler was towards the supposed vessel, a mast
became gradually Distinguishing amidst the noun
tain Of zee, which appeared in that squar,er'to bound
the SEA. IL was now Summer, and the afternoon
unusually calm, whilst the whaler gradually neared
the object in view, the supposition being that it was
Il vessel engaged in operating upon the blubber IN n
bay which would open to the view upon. approaching
nearer 20 the ice. Upon arriving, however,, at the
spot, il became clear that the vessel was n wreck
embedded in the ice, and could only be approached
by a boat. This having been lowered, the captain
and several Of the seamen landed upon the ice and
proceeded to the vessel, which proved to be a brig.
The sails were furled, very little appeared upon the
deck, and all the arrangements were those Of n vessel
laid up for 4 long period of time. Descending TO the
cabin, the first object that was seen was n large New
foundland dog cOiled upon a mat. and apparently
asleep. Upon touching the animal, it was found TO
be dead, and the body frozen to the hardness Of a
stone. Entering the cabin, was next seen a young
lady seated at n table her eyes were open, and glz-
ing with a mild arl s~tealfast expression upon the
newcomers TO that solitary spot. She was n corpse {;
and in th:t apparently resigned and religious atti-
fu1e had haaU Trojan To death RaSila hpr was
young man. who it appeared, was the brother Of the
lady and commander Of the brig. lie, too, was dead,
but sitting at the table, and before him lay a sheet of
paper, upon which was written the following words ::

ing 20 light a FIRE, bat in vain all is now over"
At the other side Of the cabin stood the cook, with a
