4 Peculiar Dog.

Not hundred miles from this city,
says Kingston paper, lived family
who owned dog. The dogs name was
Colonel" He was, however, less mill
tary than theological III his tastes. In
respect of the latter subject he made ex-
tensive researches. When n neighbor-
ing church-bell rang the people to the
house of prayer Colonel would howl in
unison with it. On one or two occasions
he visited the sacred edifice itself, and,
after listening to the sermon for while,
he emitted a short yelp of disappro-
baton, dropped his expressive tail, and
went home III fit of deep detection.
We should have mentioned that Colonel
was of the Newfoundland breed, and his
immense size, combined with his glossy
blackness, impaired great solemnity to
his appearance and manner. One day
the family were absent, and "Colonel"
was unintentionally locked in the house.
He recognized his opportunity, and,
walking into the parlor, he removed the
big Bible from the table and began a
studious perusal of that holy volume.
Fearing lest he should read the same
part more than once, he carefully tore
out the leaves as he passed over them,
and arranged them in a heap on the
floor. When the unsuspecting family
returned they walked into the parlor,
and there saw the canine commentator
engaged in his labor of love. He had
dipped into Exodus, bat nothing more.
The Old Testament wasn't to his taste.
But he had been fascinated with the
Epistles of ST. Paul. The letter to the
Romans " Colonel had swallowed en-
tire, thereby surprising most other
theologians, who never could get it
down. The Gospel of st. John he had
also devoured. He liked its loving
flavor. The Revelation was too tough
for him. He had disposed of two chap
tiers, but had stuck on the beast with
seven heads and the horns. When his
admiring proprietor led him out of doors
a piece of scripture hung to his eye
teeth, on which was printed the admo-
milton, beware of dogs" Such a
gorge of Gospel conld have but one re-
suit on dog: "Colonel" is dead now.

Our Russian Emigrants.

The Russian emigrants have been
sadly disappointed and, in some instan-
ces, most shamefully treated in Dakota.
They purchased land III the neighbour
hood of Yankton, and they found but
shallow mold with gravel beneath it
which broke their ploughs. Water was
scarce and bad, and many died by dis
eases occasioned by its use. A farm
was sold to Russian who speaks no
English, portion of the money was
paid, and when the unfortunate man
some time after showed his title to the
property his papers turned out to be
only his first citizenship papers. Hav-
ing the seal the Russian was deluded
into the belief that he had a genuine
deed in his possession. But few of
the emigrants will remain in Dakota,
which is not the Eden they expected to
find it, but rather the Eden of Martin
Chuzzlewit's experience.

FISH DIET.-A medical man asserts
that fish diet is a great humanizer of
the tempers of mankind, tending TO
make them feel more kindly toward
each other, and less disposed to crime.
He instances carniverous animals as
being always the most fierce and violent,
and believes that if human stomachs
could have an occasional respite by the
consumption of fish, the world would
be all the better for it.

The ravages of the yellow fever at Memphis
are frightful to contemplate. A dispatch of the

infected district yesterday was so great that
the undertakers were unable to bury the
bodies, and to-day in two or three instances
whole families were carried to the burying-
ground at one load. Scenes in that part of the
city are beyond description. Those not afilict-
ed are so demoralized that they can be of no
assistance to the sick, but seem chained to the
locality, and make no effort to get away.
