Although Byron tells about the honest
watch-dog's bark, the honest watchdog Is not
a vegetable but an animal product; and in
stead of having any bark Is provided with a
hide, which is very useful in making dog
skin gloves. This hide, which is not hidden
at all, but worn openly where everybody can
see it, fits hum like it had been made to order
by some fashionable tailor except about the
head, where there Is a large opening, intended
for The accommodation of burglars and other
friends of the family. After a man has been
pursued 10y an honest Watchdog that has not
been fed properly, he is ready to swear that

optical Illusion. Ii Is never bigger than a
cellar door. The dog has also got a tail,
which he uses to express emotion with, and
several legs, but nobody pays as much atten-
ton to the legs as he does to the mouth, be
cause he can't bite with them. The watch
dogs teeth are very numerous, and as he Is
very fond of displaying them, the inference Is
that they are his own. He can't wag them

THE CINCINNATI NOMINEE VISITS THE
PoRAER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
DISAPPOINTED CALLERS AT COVER
NoR's ISLAND.
Freed from the letters of the Warren
Court OF Inquiry General Hancock has
some leisure on his hands. AT all events
he found time to come TO the city yester-
day and spent several hours. A portion
Of his visit was occupied IN sitting for
his photograph at leading uptown
Photographic establishment. Most of
his time, however, was spent at the resi-
dence of Ex-Governor Tilden on Ora
mercy Park. His call was arranged be-
forehand, as also his meeting at the
Gilsey House Senator Wallace, OF
Pennsylv Governor w. b. Franklin,
Of Connecticut, and Mr.. Harry Water
son, Of Kentucky, who had made an
appointment TO accompany HIM on the
visit 10 Mr., Tilden. The party, it is
needless to say, was most HOSPITALITY re-
ceived and entertained by the late can
didate for Presidential honors. The
leading subjects of the proracted inter
view had reference chiefly to the pend
ing Presidential campaign. As 10 the
special details neither General Hancock
nor those accompanying him could OF
course feel at liberty 10 give them. To
Herald reporter, who called last
evening at Mr.. Tilden's residence, the
latter refused to impart any information.
This much was stated, that the visit
was most agreeable and satisfactory
one to all parties, and, further, that
General Hancock accepted an invitation
10 pay Mr.. Tilden an early visit at
Greystone, his country seat.
