How Gen. Hancock was Mistaken
About a Dog.
BROOKLYN Eagle.

Gen. Hancock told a good story
yesterday as he stood conversing
with u group of visitors.
Years ago." said he, "when !
was stationed in California; owned
a valuable irish red setter, u spIen
did dog. Que day that dog dIsap-
peared. ODe of the neignuors Ia.

long time. Finally. AS was walk

day l saw stranger, French.
man, passing along the street with
my dog. approached the gentle
man, and remarked as pleasantly
as l could: "Excuse me, sir, but
that is my dog"
"Oh, no." said he. "that is my
dog"
THAT cannot be-" I rejoined,
"ior raised him
ayes, it Can 0e," he replied, "lor
1 raised him"
"The consequence was we be-
cLme engaged in an alteration
about the dog, and alterations
were dangerous out in that coun-
try. After we had spent some time
discussing the matter in the warm
sunshine-it was u terribly hot day
Il made a proposition which ex
pecied would settle the controversy
'pil tell you, my friend said 1,
what l will do. My physician
knows this dog. IT, you will accom-
pany me to his house he will prove
it Is my dog
"rhe Frenchman manifested
some reluctance to going, as it was
an extremely warm day, but he
finally consented, and we walked
half u mile to the Doctors house.
When we arrived there the Doctor
readily identified the animal. Ger
tainly, General lie said, that is
your dog"
"Now, sir said l to the French.
man, ARE you satisfed?'"
"'No,' he replied; that is my
dog, and do not propose to relil-
quish possession of him.'n
~ called the dog 'Rover,' and he
wagged his tail. Tue Frenchman
called him by some other name,
and he wagged his tail again. See
ing no other way out of the diff
Guilty. 1 suggested to the French
man that we go to my house, and
ask Mrs. Hancock to identify the
dog. My friend at first obj .cted to
this proceeding. The weather was
growing warmer, and the visit Ia
my house involved another walk
of half a mile. After an argumeIt
| persuaded him to 20, and together
we reached the house. Mrs. Ham
cock was introduced, and we laid
the case before her from our re.
sptctive standpoints. Imagine my
astOnisment when after looking ut
the canine, she said: why, GEN
eral, that is not your dog at all,
and your dog was certainly not
named Rover.'"
"rhen l began to apologies tn
my French friend, but the more
endeavored to pacify him, the
more angry he became. 1t was
some time before I could subdue
his temper, and persuade him to
accept my hospitality"
