PET PHILOSOPHY.
From the Saturday Review.1

from the SATURDAY ReVleW.l
That people do keep pets and do misuse
them is plain and unquestionable fact. Why
they keep them is another and much mora
df icult question. Some, it is true, have 9
dislike to the destruction of ANNA, life. Car
which got their livelihood in his famous
beard. Others, again, have been driven to
love swallow from the mere loneliness OF
prison life, and the only reason for dou biting
the truth of the legend which connects the
name of Bruce with spider is that similar
tales have been told Of other famous men.
The story of Lady Berkeley who insisted
on keeping her merlins to moult in her bed
chamber, and her husbands consequent dis.
pleasure, occurs among the annals of the
fifteenth century. Little dogs figure on
brasses, and the names of !" Terri, "Jakke F"
and "Bo" have come down to US az memoir.
ais of pets beloved five hundred years ago
Cowper, besides his hares, petted all kinds Of
animals, and demonstrated in verse with his
spaniel for killing fedgling Oldos apostro-
phized fly and Burns mouse. We think it
was Carnot, in the Reign Of Terror, that Law
ished caresses on his dog while he sent hun
dreds of human victims to the slaughter
In fact. there are few people come to ma
ture years who at some time of their life have
not loved dear gazslle or other domesticated
ANIMAL and been gaddened by its affectionate
eye. A taste which is SO peculiarly human
may be humaniziDg if properly directed.
The child, indeed, will rob nest to satisfy q
longing for pet But it is easy to demon.
strate the cruelty of interfering with natural
laws, and the speedy death of the half-fedged
nesting demonstrates clearly enough the fu-
tility of the childish aspirations. The SYM
patnies Of Bill Sykes, calloas as he was, were
awakened towards his dog, and even Charon
may be supposed occasionally to bestow
frindly pat on one of the heads of Cerberus
Although it has often been remarked that
love of the horse accompanies, If it does not
cause, the degradation of many man, vet it
would be hard to ascribe the laiouitles OF &.
blackleg to any true love of the animal oa
which he lays his money. Doubtless the
horse of Calgula preferred his oats ungilt,
and it is the uncertainty Of racing rather than
any fault of the racer that attracts the rogues
to Newmarket and EPSON. A horse would
run quite as we'll, the race be even more often
to the swift, if betting could be abolished,
snd our pr ze costermongers and cabmen find
kindness to their animals like hones.y, the
best policy.
The donkey that is starved and beaten sell
dom favors his driver with more than spas

occasionally meet in the street draws more
than his own weight of heavy men at a cheer
full and willing trot. The principle on which
pets are kept is, however, sometimes difficult
to find. We we're all Mortified lately to ad
cats, and every Indian traveller tells shocking
tales of the cruelty of the Hindoo to the

Ducks and Terrapins.
TFrOm the Baltimore Sun.1

Everybody has heard of Chesapeake can
vas back ducks, and diamond.back terrapins
and great many people know something of
how they taste when served up for the table,
but not great many are acquainted with the
manner in which they are handled by the
dealers in those and other ia med gastronomic
Injuries. There is an establishment in Balti-
more which has been fitted up especially for
this trade, where canvas-backs and all kinds
of game are kept by he thousands in apart
ments where the temperature remains at
eighteen degrees above zero, and where terra
pins in multitudes live and grow fat on
nothing. There are five large closets on the
premises, built in the walls, similar to bank
vaults; and these, by a scientific process are
arranged to keep their into1lor at & very low
temperature by the use of ice, but in diff or
ent manner from the freezing process of q re-
frigerator.
wild game are kept perfectly fresh; in another
from Savannah, white fish from the lakes,
rock anG perch from the Chesapeake tributa-
ries, and blue fish, paddock and Goldfish from
the North. In another closet the smaller and
more common fish are kept, and all of the
closets are filed with some of the special pro-
ducts dealt in. For a month past shipments
of canvas backs by the barrel have been
made to London. Liverpool and to Paris by
steamships run from New York and Baltimore.
The fowls are taken from the cold closets and
when on board the steamers are put on ice,
and reach their destination in excellent con-
dition.
Oysters in barrels are also sent to Europe,
the oysters being packed in sea-wee3 ard
corn meal. But the most novel feature of
the house is the "terrapin department"
This room is kept warm, and the terrapins
luxuriate in air-tight chests, each from five to
ten bushels capacity. These are packed full
of terrapins, which number many hundreds
in the aggregate The most Of them are Of
the Chesapeake ''diam ond- back" variety, and
all are at least seven inches across the under
shell, that being the measurement which the
terrapin must reach before in the opinion Of
the epicure, it is fitted for the table. There
of "slider" or cred fender" terrapins, fresh
water variety, chiefly from the James River
The habits of the terrapin have been made
a study by this dealer. He keeps them in
his air-tight chests, without food, and says
they hot only exist deprived of air, but grow
fat, and if kept in the chests for six months
will each weigh four or six ounces more than
when put in. If the terrapins are allowed to
have liberty or free air, even in the most
limited space, they become very poor, as they
seem to draw sustensnce from thensely es,
but do not take food. All the terrapins in
the chests are enjoying vigorous existence, as
proved by their movements when the lids
were raised. The terrapins are principally
sold to hotel-keepers. and to be served up at
extra junketings, and bring aDout S24 dozen.
During the terrapin season of 1874 one house
in Baltimore sold q thousand dozen.

derful pathetic one about the elder Alexander
Dumas has just been printed. When the vet
| eran novelist went down to the country house
of his children, in Palay, in 1870, his strength
was nearly gone and his courage was waning.
He saw the grave opening before him. and
probably many remembr ances of his extrava-
gances and escapades now and then came to
him. When he was obliged to take to his
bed he was SO weak that the attendants we're
compelled to assist him in undressing. While
laying aside his garments be mechanically put
his hand in one of his pockets, and drew out
the single gold coin which remained to him.
He looked at the shining piece for few mo-
ments with bitter smile, and then said:
When | first went up to Paris | had two
pieces like that. Now have one left. Then,
| as he laid down YEARLY in the bed, he added,
| with that sense of humor which permeated
every fibre of his being: e And yet they say
| have been spendthrift " Between the
time when Dumas went to Paris as literary
aspirant with his two louis dor in his pocket
and the moment OF his serio-comic reflection
on the remaining coin, he had probably
earned many millions Of francs. But money
seemed to burn his fingers. Granville Monay
tells us that Dumas used to keep his gold
pieces in large wooden bowls on his writing
table, and when needy friend came stam-
