A Canine Critic.

In the year 1889 a phenomenon ap
peared in the musical world which az
tracted considerable attention in Ger
many. A gentleman who was we'll
known as an enthusiastic musical anna
teur Of Barmstadt, in the Grand Duchy
Of Hesse and female spaniel called
Poodle. By striking the animal when.
ever music was played. aud false
note struck, she was made TO howl
At last the threat of the up
raised stick was equally effective, pres
emily mere glance Of the masters eye
produced the same howl, and at las
the false note itself. A German paper
Of. this period says: AT the present
time there is not concert or an opera
at Darmstadt to which Fredrick S. and
his wonderful dog are not invited, or,
at least, the dog. The voice Of the
prinia donna. the instruments of tho
band, whether violsn. clarionet, haut
bois or bugle- all Of them must execute
their parts in perfect harmony, other
wise Poodle looks at its master, erects
it's ears, shows its grinders and howla
outright. Old or new pieces, known
or unknown to the dog, produce the
same effect" 1t must not be sup
posed that the discrimination Of the
creature was confined TO the mere
execution of musical compositions.
Whatever may have been the case at
the outset of its musical career, towards
its close vicious modulation or q false
relation Of parts produce the same re-
suit. Sometimes to tease the dog, "
says our German authority, ''Mr. s. and
his friends take q pleasure in annoying
the canine critic, by emitting all sorts Of
discordant sounds from instrument and
voice. On such occasions the creature
loses all self-command, its eyes shoot
forth fiery flashes, and long and fright
full howls respond to the inharmonious
concert Of the mischievous bipeds. But
the latter must be careful not to 90 far,
because when the dogs patience is much
tried 1t becomes savage, and endeavors
to bite both its prosecutors and their
instruments"

Sloat. Then the two commands, headed by the American band made street parade, the ter minus being at the State armory, where the new armory of the command was formally taken possession of, addresses appropriate to the occasion being made by His Honor Mayor Lewis and ex-Lieutenant James D. Dewell. The new armory is very handsomely isfaction to all.

The veterans were attired for the celebration in their handsome dark blue uniform. The entrance of the commands added new eclat to the fair. The actives and veterans joined in the festivities of the evening The presence of ex-Capt Nash was source of much pleasure. He was captain about thirty years ago, and has long resided in Cincinnati where hs is a suc- cessful and much esteemed architect and citizen. He was in the city on his way back from visit to Maine, and learning from his old friend, Col Tolles, that the Grays were to celebrate, deferred returning in order to 'join in'' once moro with the old and hon ored command.
