HOnOrs TO an Enemy.

That "dogs delight to bark and bite u
and also to IVORY the cat" hath been
said and sung i'll song and story through
many English-speaking generations. II
was with no little surprise, therefore,
that few days since the denizens of an
uptown neighborhood witnessed novel
funeral procession which wound its way
slowly through several backyards to the
place of interment First and foremost
marched old Towser, shaggy and
highly respectable family dog, carrying
by the nape of her neck the disfgured
corpse of grimalkin, whose voice and
form were alike well, if not favorably
known, in all the regions round about.
Behind him followed Jupe, n handsome,
silken-haired spaniel of aristocratic lin
cage, who moves only in the most select
canine circles. Jupe is generally frisky,
but on this occasion he followed stately
Towser with a staid dignity BETTING the
occasion. Neither dog betrayed any
consciousness of the numerous bipeds
watching the singular proceedings, but
each kept on his course as though his
mind was absorbed in his peculiar occu-
patton to the exclusion of all other af-
fairs. The march ended ut large ash
heap, the aggregations of contributions
rom the stoves and furnaces of several
surrounding houses, aud then Towser
laid down his burden. Both dogs then
assisted i'll digging grave in the mound.
When one of the suitable dimensions was
finished Towser picked up all that was
left of poor grimalkin and deposited it
in the soft yielding bed. Then he stood
by an idle spectator while Jupe set TO
work to cover it from sight. AS soon rs
this task was completed both dogs sat
back on their launches and INDUCED in
one long funeral howl, and then as if sat
isfied that all had been done that could

The day of wasp-like waists, thin shoes,

natural disadvantages. Many of them
had foolish mothers and inherit their
weaknesses, ailments and disfi9urements.
But the great destroyer of female health
and beauty In America is malaria. Our

is not yet drained or cleared of forests.
