Dogs Il Partnership.

A curious story of canine sagacity Is
reported in the Cologne journa 5. The
owner of number of rabbits near Bar
nicu found that for six success i've nights
one of his rabbits was stolen from the
house which he bad made for them out
of wooden case WI stoed a few
inches sboye the ground At the top of
it an opening had been made about the
width of two hands, which was closed
at night by board on which heavy
stones were laid. The house having
thus been secured, and as il wa found
each morning that only one rabbit had
been stolen, and that all the rest were
quite uninjured, it was considered inn
possible for weasel to have effected
the theft. II was, therefore. supposed
that human hands had been at work.
The owner consequently first made the
opening more secure by mailing down
one side of the board, and covering il
with grass and stones. and then hid
himself in order to watch for the thief.
AL one O clock in the morning he heard
n noise at the rabbit-house. and was not
a little astonished to see two dogs in
stead of man on the top of it. One
was large dog of the neighborhood,
well known to him. cross between n
St Bernard and a large woolly collie,
feared by all other dogs; the second
was stranger. small terrier, just
slender enough TO get through the hole
in the rapbit-house. The big dog, who,
on other occasions, never noticed his
smaller comrades, had evidently come
to an understanding with his little friend
about the nocturnal rendezvous. The
big dog scratched away all the grass
and the stones. dragged up the board.
and let the terrier Jump through the
hole. The latter returned in few
minutes with a rabbit in his mouth,
which he presented to his great friend,
and both proceeded to devour their sup
per undisturbed.

Sir Garnet Wolseley's Goodness on the
Battlefield.


All accounts are agreed as to Sir
Garnet demeanor both before and after
the fight. His GOODNESS and self-reliance
were extraordinary. On the morning
before the battle. when he took all the
Generals and their respective stalls to
reconnoiter the enemy's lines he dis
mounted within a couple miles of Tel-el-
Kebir, and gathering the others around
him, explained exactly what he meant
to do. With short stick he pc nted to
the intrenchments as he might to q
blackboard in lecture-room, and qui-
city indicated in turns the position OF
each part of the attacking force. he
had the whole thing off by heart, knew
and explained in exact detail what every
regiment had to do While they We're
thus occupied, protected only by a small
cavalry escort, the enemy sent out a
party to observe them, but nade no
further demonstration. Wolseley's
lecture" finished, they all remounted
and rode back to camp.
After the battle was practically won,
Sir Garnet came to the bridge across the
canal communicating the right with the
left attack, and getting off his horse,
quietly began to write his telegram an
nouncing the victory on a scrap of pa
per handed to him by one of his staff.
Here, too, he received the reports from
the various staff officers of divisions and
brigades, asking more particularly as to
casualties Are you quite sure?" he
always said. Don't give m wrong
figures. Don't mention any officers
name unless you are quite positive he is
hit.'' All this time he was giving or
ders right and left, now to one SAT- Off
Ger. now to another, and through it all,
confusing and embarrassing as the stu
alton might well have been, was p r
fectly quie and unconcerned.- London
