THE GREAT DoG-SHow AT BARSUMs MUsEUn.
We left our Office to-day that will be yesterday
when this paragraph gladdens the eyes Of our road
ers), and wended our way amid victory'buIletin'
reading crowds to the Museum Of the Bsrnum.
The brass band on the balcony Of this scientific and
otherwise institution was playing we entered that
sweet melody which is called in England ono
sveet ome there q no place like 'ome, and when We
got past three large German beauties with their
No. ii. babies getting tickets Of registration fof
the baby show, and general dshevelled mass OF
citizenship in esse or posse and ascended TO The
exhibition.room, we found that number OF dogp
recognizing the music had set up dismal howl IL
their kennels. If it were not this it was general
feeling of canine disgust and impotence at being
cribbed and chained-as they all without exception
are-such balmy, delicious day, when good dogs
should be free and exutant in double concordance
with the glories Of the weather and the war. But
these dogs may be conforted--they won't go homo
till morning." bot then they certainly will for each
day will present different kinds of the animal.
Monday it is the large species: the magnificent
Siberian dog, who could carry a well-grown boy on
his back from here to Sing Sing without over
fatigue; the stately and afectonste Newfoundland;
the persistent snd egosticsl bulldog; snd others OF
weight aud virtue. One OF the dogs appeared vicious
in Lis kennel, whereupon the gallant Commodors
Mutt, armed with whip, rushed upon the trucuenf
beast and drove it into submission and straw. Ihs
gallant Commodore subsequently mounted on the
back Of the Siberian dog, and rode triumpbantly
about, typifying the naval heroes of New-Orleans
and their dogs OF war;
To-day will be exhibited Foxhounds, Harren,
Beages, Settlers, and Pointers, beside Mr.. Buffers

They are advertised to be in all q, 2OO
A very curious collection; and as the dog.haten
are few, notwithstanding the animal has been de-
uouuced as useess expensive and perpicious, at the
Farmers Club, and occasionally gets the drunkard's
complaints, horror of water, and bites and kills.
we suppose the Exhibition will prove remunerating
The report that the dogs to be fed on the babies
is absolutely false. Only monster in human shape
could have given it currency.
