A Funny Doc ,SToRY.-When
the war in Italy commenced, the
Zouaves embarked for Genoa; but
as they Were going on board the
ship, they saw formal order for
bidding the entrance Of all dogs upon
the vessel. AS they were much at
tached to their dogs, they were
stricken with grief. 1t was not easy
to deceive the sharp lookout kept by
the intendent, for every soldier ad-
vanced along the narrow gangway,
one by one, as their names were
called Necessity is the mother of
invention. The drummers unscrewed
their drums, and the best dogs of
the regiment were concealed in the
drums, which were screwed up
again. When regiments embark, no
music is played, but on this occasion
the Colonel determined there should
be music. He ordered the trumpets
and drums to take the head of the
column and to play lively tune.
The faces of the drummers, every
one of whom had a dog in his drum,
may be conceived. The trumpets
sounded the drums were all silent.
The Colonel got angry, and bawled
to know why the drums did not beat.
There was but one thing to do, and
that was to beat. The moment the
drums began to beat, innumerable
dogs began to howl and to bay, to
the astonishment of everybody but
the Zouaves. Everybody looked
right, left, backward, forward-no
sign Of a dog anywhere; and yet the
more the drummers beat, the more
the dogs howled. AT last a spaniel
fell out of a drum, rolled over and
over on the ground, got up and took
to his heels, howling louder than
ever. Roars Of laughter greeted this
explanation of the mysterious howls.
The intendents ordered the drum
mers to advance on board one by
one, and roll the drum as he came.
If a barking was heard, the drum
was unscrewed, and the dog put
ashore. Only one dog got on board;
this was Toutou, who kept quiet
through all the rolling. 1t need not
be said the Sd Iouaves adore Toutou.
He made his entry into Paris, at
their head, a few days since.-Paris
