The Coming Canine Favorite.

There is new dog on the horizon, and from his description he is almost certain to reach us here. In fashion lately we have been going in for the foreigner. The fox terrier has become almost too common. Japanese pugs are too stupid. French poodles are not to be seriously considered. There remain the Dachshund and the Danish mastiff, neither of them quite satisfactory The new dog halls from the low countries, and is not so much novelty as a revival. He has been rediscovered by the accident of the exhibition at Brussels. Dogs were to be an attraction there, and the great desider- alum was to be patriotic and, if possible, local. Of course the milk carrying dogs would be collected in great force, and 1t seemed as if FlSnders would have little else ill the canine world to rely upon.
 Then it was remembered that generations ago, when railways were scarce in the land, there was a little black terrier called spits, largely used on the canal boats that then car; ried on the commerce, and, indeed, the traffic of the Low Countries. His chief qualities almost legendary-were that he was death on rats and unapproachable as watch dog. He was clever little fellow, too, vivacious and attached. But railways had driven him out. An attempt was made to procure some for the show. It proved that there was plenty of life i'll the old breed still. There are yet barges and canal boats in Holland, and they had spits still on board. A very good show was got together. The spits be- came popular, and we shall, no doubt, soon see him here.-London Figaro.

The Bad Manners of Royalty.

Notwithstanding the quasi denial of the official German press, it is true that Queen Victoria received the special German envoys sent to England to announce the accession of William II in very ungracious manner. This is not the first exhibition of brusquerie on the part of her majesty. Many years ago, when her first prime minister, Lord Melbourne, re- signed, Sir Robert Peel was sent for. On his arrival at St, James, Sir Robert proceeded to explain his policy, and demanded certain changes to be made in her majesty's house hold. This the queen peremptorily refused to submit to, and on Sir Robert asking why he was sent for, her majesty replied that 1t was done without her consent, and that she wanted no Tory ministry.
 A few years ago Mir. Gladstone was also subjected to mark of royal discourtesy but the Grand Old Man promptly returned Roland for her Oliver. In conversing with the queen ill relation to a matter of state, the then prime minister used the word ''must" in referring to what should be her claimed the queen indignantly, 'do you know who 1 am? I am the queen of Eng land!' Your majesty" replied MT. Glad stone quickly, "do you know who I ami am the people of England!" But if her ma jesty showed scant courtesy to the new Ger man emperor in the person of his envoys, it must not be forgotten that William II him. self showed still less courtesy to queen the other day in expelling her peremptorily from his dominions. Kings and queens might learn lesson in good manners from republicans a Week

He Obtained the Position,

Do know of any case where an applicant for the police succeeded in deceiving the ex- apiners2' said gentleman the other day. "Well, yes, can tell you of one, but be- lieve there are not many others. About a year ago young man applied for examina- tioR, and acquitted himself very creditably. He lacked a quarter of an inch in height, how ever, and although he had what is called con- siderable pull no power on earth could se- cure his appointment.
 "He wasn't discouraged though, and came up for succeeding examinations only to be reminded each time that but for that fraction of an inch he might hope to swing locust
 ''He was just about giving up all hope when bright idea struck him. He had bis hair cut short, and as it grew trained it to stand up straight and stiff. It wasn't very long before this treatment produced the de- sired effect, and he could pride himself on being the possessor of a head of hair of sur- prising thickness. But its appearance was not in the least extraordinary, so nicely did he have it trimmed.
 "Well, the result was the next time he went under the measure he fully quail fied, and today he is the proud wearer of a patrolman's uniform, and a good officer he makes "-New York Evening Sun.

 Dr. Granville now rose to depart, and turn. ing kindly to me he said, "Lady Muriel, parted from Prince Michael got many hours ago, and he said was not to rest till had seen you, till I had reminded you that this is the anniversary of his flight, and that all through life the 18th September will be a night sacred to the thought of you."
 As the doctor said these words curious sort of feeling came over me. His voice sounded strange, far off, and seemed to see the gloomy bedchamber, the moonlit win dow, the boy in agonized suppication at my feet-the-

I took the pretty gold key and opened the casket, and I beheld 0 necklace of eighteen pearls Ia pearl, I understood, for each day), and attached to it was a heart pierced through by diamond arrow. At the back of the arrow these words were engraved
 "Firenze,

 Gratitudine, Fede, Amore" The heart opened, and within it I found-a shred of twisted rope-and few withered forget-me-nots. I shed few tears, knew not why, and ran down and showed it to my mother.

 We took leave of the minister and his scared attache and returned to the hotel, and it is needless to say we never heard again from his excellency; but in ten days time the papers informed us that his lordship had quilted Florence for some months.
 The whole story seemed to have passed away like an uneasy dream. The Russians had vanished, and their rooms were now oc- cupied by common place middle class Eng hsh family, who I heard conversing about the s'Pitty Pally" (meaning, I presumed, the Pitt Palais), and the padrone and his wife avoided mentioning the princess or any of her suite; indeed the subject seemed so distateful to them that we forbore alluding to it, and after short uneventful period had elapsed, we directed our footsteps homewards to Lon don.
