ed u Newfoundland-no one will
ever find out the cheat. lie is very
sagacious. and is valuable in a fsmi-
" where there are several l:.;le chill
dren. Mothers sometimes leave their
little ones playing in the lot where
there is a large pool of water and
feel no concern about them, believ-
ing that II one was to tumble over
in the pool, the Newfoundland would
pull him out. This is a very CON-
Portable feeling for the mother, but
the little fellow who tumbles in has
a hard time of it, and usually needs
a little marble slab to mark the spot
where they "laid him"
The cur is next in order. He is
the dog most sought after by movers
and our colored fellow-citizens, and
is generally "yaller' or brindle, and
nearly always has a bob-tail. He
generally wears his ears "crspped,"
and always looks as though he
hadn't had a good square meal in
several days. His principal occupa-
ton is freeing 'possums and sucking
eggs-the latter being his special de-
light. Give a colored fellow-citizen
a yaller bobtail cur and an old army
pistol and he "is happy" The
"yaller" cur is as indispensable to
"movers" as tow-headed children.
Who ever saw q man moving to Ar

The poodle deserves our special
notice. He is a diminutive little
shaggy oncer of a dog, and is the
particular delight of some old maids
and married women who have no
children of their own. He is gener-
ally of a whitish or notified color,
land delights in being carried around
in his owners arms. with a blue rib
bon about his neck. When allowed
to run on the street for q short time
he usually frisks about on three legs,
and holds out the idea that he ls
crippled-which is all bosh--but he
never fails to inspire in the breast OF
every man he meets, a strong desire
to knock his brains out against the
pext lamp-post. What a poodle
was made for, is one Of the mysteries
which Professor Tyndall has never
explained to the satisfaction Of man,
kind. They would doubtless maxi
better sausage meat than some othe'
kinds Of dog, because they are al
ways fat, but they are SO small the.
