Dog UelusiOns.

There are fashions in dogs as in every
thing else. just at present fashion,
with better Taste than we had right to
expect, has decreed that the Skye ter
rier is the dog which everybody that is
anybody ought to possess. This is a
wise decree, for there is no more intel.
ligent and upright dog than your Skye
terrier. In fact he overfows with
sweetness and light. At the same time
lamentable confusion prevades the
public mind as to what constitutes o
true Skye terrier, and brief discussion
of the matter may not prove uninterest-
ing. There are three principal closely
allied varieties of the rough-haired
terrier-the Skye, the Scotch and the
Dandy Dinmont dogs. OF subordinate
varieties it is not necessary to speak,
and of the Dandy Dinmont breed, the
main feature of which is the pepper
and-salt color of the coat, it need only
be Said that it has now become very
rare---a true Dandy Dinmont being
worth from fifty to seventy Eve guineas.
The Scotch-terrier is a short-legged dog,
with long silver-gray hair. The Skye
terrier is still shorter in point of legs
and wilder in luxuriance OF hair, which
is of steel-blue tint. The Skye's coat
ought nearly to touch the ground, and
it should be q matter of difficulty to
distinguish the end on which the head
is placed from the other extremity.
Now a genuine Skye terrier is worth
from 800 to $3.50 in this country, and
seldom are seen here.
What are called Skye terriers by de-
signing dog-fanciers, and accepted as
such by easily persuaded purchasers,
are simply Scotchterriers with Just
enough of Skye blood to give them a
slight blush tint along the upper part
of their coats. Not only are Scotch
terriers thus wrongfully permitted to as
sumo the rank and station of the Skye,
but pure Scotch terriers are about as
rare here as pure Skyes. The smooth
coated black-and-tan has been so fire.
quently crossed with the Scotch that
he has given to the latter his long legs,
and has materially reduced the length
and roughness of his hair. The con-
sequence is that the analysis of most
so-called Skye terriers sold here would
show one-half Scotch, one-quarter
black-and-tan, and one-quarter Skye as
their constituent elements. A long
legged Scotch or Skye cannot be fine
bred dog, whatever the dog-fanciers
may tell you. The long legs point in
exorably to a black-and-tan or some.
times to poodle ancestry. The prices
of these compound animals vary, of
course, according to the degree to which
they they approach purity. A Skye
with enough Skye to color his back
nicely is worth about fifty dollars. A
Scotch-terrier with moderately short
legs---which is the best that man can
reasonably hope for brings about forty
dollars. Probably in the presant cor
rupt state of the dog market the best
plan for an admirer of rough terriers to
pursue is to procure as good specimen
of a female Scotch terrier as he can
find.- From her, by careful selection,
he can breed dogs of excellent quality.
AS for pure Skyes they are nearly hope.
less, and every one who sets his hopes
upon them will be sure to be bitterly
disappointed.

Burning Her Own House.

Dorcas, Acres of Turner, Me-, tailor
ess by trade, had, by long and patient
labor, accumulated money enough to
purchase small house and lot, when
she took to herself usband-Lazarus
Lucas" to rule over her." The home
was purchased after her marriage with
the money Dorcas had earned with her
needle. The husband was in feeble
health and could cain nothing for their
support so Dorcas worked on at her
trade, and supported herself and her
husband also. She nursed him when
sick, paid his bills, and buried him re-
specially when he died, asked no help
from his relatives. He left no children
and made no will, and Dorcas, being
ignorant of law as it affects married
women and widows, supposed that the
home was hers because she had paid for
it with her own earnings. So she kept
right on making coats and garments
like Dorcas of old happy, no doubt, in
the good work and "alms-deeds" which
she did. But this state of things could
not last long. The two brothers of her
dead husband soon began to exercise
their control over her, as in duty bound
The woman must be protected (?) if not
by her husband then by her nearest
male relative. So Dorcas received no.
tice that she could only have her "right
of dover" in the little home. "The use
of one-third eth widows encum-
brance" Now Dorcas was only an ig-
norant woman and could not under
stand the justice of law which could
take two-thirds of her earnings from
her and give them to relatives of her
husband. So she refused to take any
legal advice in the matter, but as time
passed on, the brothers made it so un-
comfortable for her that she dared not
live in the house. But still disdaining
to recognize the law which men had
made to suit themselves, she set fire to
her home and burned it down. She
said, "If 1 cannot have it, they shall
not" For which crime she was sen.
fenced to the State prison, and served
out the time of her sentence, which i
believe was two years.

A Vain Secret.

A writer in the Washington Star re-
lates the following anecdote of the
White House "During the civil war
a letter was received by the State De-
partment, following telegraph dis
patch from Boston, relating in terms of
such conviction and certainty a plot to
undermine and blow up the Executive
Mansion, with Mr.. Lincoln and all his
Ministers, on some Cabinet or recep-
tion day, that Caleb Smith, Secretary
of the Interior, was confdentially
charged to investivate it, He sent for
a native District and Union man, known
to every citizen, and asked him if it
could be arranged to have some expert
mechanic examine the White House
cellar and approaches, without exciting
suspicion among the workmen. He
said he knew such man, and called on
Tom Lewis, reliable master mason.
Lewis took a gang of men, picks,
shovels, &C., and informed them that
he wanted to excavate for a drain or
spring which made the cellar damp,
had floors taken up, oountermines and
trenches dug, and informed Mr.. Lin
coin, who was not "a particle scared,
that he could see nothing like the WORK
of Guy Fawkes. Caleb Smith was
much exercised, however, and teIe-
graphed to his informant in Boston to
write more explicitly. The man did SO,
and assured the Secretary that 'there
could be no mistake about his informa-
tion, for he had derived it personally
by communication with spirits

A New Theory Of Dreams.

A novel and interesting theory as to
the nature of dreams was lately pro-
pounded before the Royal Medical In
stitution by Professor Humphrey, of
Cambridge, England, defining dreams
as not normal accompaniment of
sleep, but rather result of the abnor-
NAL or imperfect condition of the organ
of mental action. In the natural state,
he says, we should pass from wakeful-
ness to complete unconsciousness, and
vice versa, almost instantaneously, and
this is the case with many persons.
More frequently, however, the trans
ition is protracted, and stages are OBJ
served in which the sleep is but partial.
In this case, according to Professor
Humphrey, the cerebral organ being
in an imperfect state, its action is i'm
perfect, and the first effect of the
lessening of its vital vigor is the loss of
the highest form of mental power-the
control over the mental operations
and in this condition the thoughts
ramble unchecked. chase one another
confusedly over the mental field, and
give rise to all sorts of incongruities of
the Imagination.
