Trouble About a Dog Fight.
THE OWNERS OF THE CANNES IN A TRIANGULAR
FIGHT

FIGHT.
Judge Miller heard some amusing testimony
in the Police Court to-day in relation to q tri-
angular fight, the participants being Chas. E.
Barber and Saml Lloyd and his son. Howard.
The trouble was the result of a dog fight be-
tween the CANNES owned by the Lloyds on one
side and Barber on the other. Mr.. Barber said
that his dogs pedigree dated back to 14l5, and
he laid particular stress on the fact that his
dog never fought unless he was attacked. The
dog, he said, accompanied him to and from his
office and slept in his room at night.
Several times the judge interrupted the pro-
ceedings, and announced that he could not
sentence the dogs, and he wanted to hear less
about them. The testimony showed that the
trouble was the result of the fight between the
dogs, and the judge said he would settle the
matter by placing all the parties under their
personal bonds Mr.. Barber objected to Civ
ing his personal bonds. and the Judge said he
would change the sentence to fine of $40,
whereupon Mr.. Barber changed his mind and
gave his personal bonds, as did also the other
participants ia the case.

The Vacuous New York Dude.


A gentleman attached to foreign legation
who has seen good deal of New York city this

ually surprised at the number of vacuous and
pompous-looking youths who crowd the door

emily they live in evening Dress There are
eighty or hundred of them, and they all seem
precisely alike. The have narrow shoulders,
slim figures, and some Of them affect the single

stare stupidity at the women without max
ing the faintest effort to Join the spirit
of the occasion or render themselves
useful to their hostess Further
than this, they seem SO remarkably ill-bred. A
dozen times this winter I have rather made an
ass OF myself by presuming to address these
sons Of vacuity. When Glanced to be among
them in a doorway, or was moved by some un-
conscious impulse, ventured to speak Just as

CASsIUs THE CoNsPIRATOR.
A TYPE OF ONE CLASS OF MEN OPPOSED
TO III II-S G f-S 4 z

A TYPE or ONE CLASS OF MEN OPPOSED
To JULIUS CESAR.
Harriet Waters Preston in April Atlantic.
The conspiracy against Caesar was a
coalition between two separate parties
of malcontenst.- remnant of the Old
conservatives, who found it practically
impossible. despite all their efforts, to
adapt themselves to a state Of personal
subserviency and civic inaction. and the
ambitious generals who had accomPa-
MED Caesar on his campaigns, and were
not satisfied with their share Of the
spoil Our old acquaintance Caius Cas-
sius, whom We first encountered fight
ing gallantly in Cilicia, but Of whom we
learned, so to speak, in infancy that
the fault of inferiOrity lis not in our
stars, but in ourselves" may be regarded
as the type of the second class of cOnSpl-
rators. as Marcus Brutus was the great
eXemplar of the first. Early in the year
700, before the death of Tullia, there had
been particularly lively Interchange of
letters between CaSsiuS and Cicero. who.
it appears, had known each other from
boyhOod. For the most part, | think,
the deeper we dip into authentic Roman
history and the contemporary writers Of
Caesars time, the more striking do we
find the main veracity of that great
Shakespearean drama from which most
of us derived our first clear impression
of the year 81 r. c. The author of the
tragedy of Julius Caesar not only knew
all that was to be known in = his time
about the men of that great year but he
came much nearer than some scholars
will admit to knowing all that is now
to be known. Not even the Stupen
dous labOrS of MommSen have availed
materially to modify the outlines ofhiS
Brutus, his Antony, nor yet his Caesar.
But the real CasSius, if not positively
misrepresented, appears to have been
more, and in some respects other, than
the instigatOr of Brutus in that play.
For one thing, he was decidedly litera-
~ and speculative in his turn, and had
lately suffered a conversion from Stoi-
ciSm to Epicureanism.
