IRELAND TRIUMPHANT Tho terrified
Democracy Of Virginia city yesterday
held a primary election, and had two
tickets in the field for delegates-one of
which consisted of Americans, Germans
and Irishmen ; while the other ticket
was made up altogether of Irishmen,
without exception, (unless Mr.. Maupin
is a single one), and Ireland was tri-
umphant, eleeting its entire delegation
in the Second and Third Wards, eonsti-
tuting two-thirds Of the nominating
Convention for city officers. The result
has caused a very extensive disgust
among the American and German mem-
bsrs of the Democracy in Virginia, and
who are quite prolific in their denuncia-
tons of the managers We would sug-
gest that il the disafected ones don't
like it, or if they don't like America,
they can enigrate.

SURPRISE has ofteu been manifested
by philologists at the fact that the word
"sack," variously spelled, is found in
so many languages. One Of the most
ingenious explanations is that Of Be-
canus, who said that at the dispersion
of mankind at the foot Of the tower Of
Babel every one took away his valus-
bles in a sack, the most indispensable
article for a long journey, and that no
one forgot the name Of the thing which
was all in all to him.

DOGS.

\ large dog belonging to the late Mr..
Bidley, of Hctton. near Newcastle, being
frequently molcstcd by mongrel, and
leased by its continual barking, at last
took it up in its mouth. and with great
composure dropped it over the quay into
the river, without doing any other injury
to an enemy so much his inferior.
\ gentleman of Whitmore, in Stafford
shire, used to leave his terrier in charge
with the landlady of the inn at St. Adams,
lest he should lose him if he brought him
to London. Once on his return, calling as
usual for his dog, the landlady told him,
with 4 woeful countcnance, that he was
lost. "Our great house-dog and he,' said
she, chad a quarrel, and the poor terrier
was so worried and bitten that I thought
he never could recover. He, however,
crawled out of the yard, and nobody saw
him for week he then returned, and
brought with him another dog, bigger by
far than mine, and they both fell on our
great dog, and bit him so numerically that
he has scarcely been able to go about the
yard or to eat his food. Your dog and his
companion then disappeared, and have
never since been seen in St. Albans." The
gentleman heard the story with patience,
and cndeavered to reconcile himself to his
loss On his arrival at Whitmore he found
his terrier and upon inquiry, was inform
ed that he had come home and had coaxed
away the great dog, who it SEEM. had ac-
companied him to st. Adams, and conf
pletely avenged his injury.
| For the correctness of the following we
can vouch of our own knowledge, and the
| fact recorded in it approaches nearer to the
reasoning faculty in the animal than any
other we remember to have heard. A
favorite spaniel was occasionally left by
his mistress to the care of maid-servant
at house in Hampshire, not far from
Hartford Bridge. On such occasions he
had always been well taken care of, till the
old servant being replaced by a new one,
she neglected him, and instead of the good
fare he had been accustomed to, she threw
him a raw sleeps head.
When his mistress returned home, after
expressing usual joy at seeing her, the dog
disappeared, but presently returned with
the sleeps head in his mouth, which he
brought into the drawing-room, where he
had never been in the habit of coming be-
fore, and throwing it at his mistress feet
in most offensive state, from the length
of time it had been kept, gave her a most
significant look.
The dog had in fact buried the sleeps
head in the ground, whence he was seen
to scrape it up, when he quilted his mis-
tress soon after her arrival. 1t is impossi-
bic to come to any other conclusion, from
the whole of his conduct but that he an
ticipated the return of his mistress, and the
exposure of the servant for the i'll fare he
had received from her.-London Society.
