An Astonished Admiral.

"Sailors, like horsemen, have q
tendency to become bow-legged,"
said Captain s. Wooden, an ex-navy
officer, who was at the Southern yes
terday. II once saw an old Admiral
whose long sea service had given hia
legs q decided outward curvature,
have a singular adventure with bull
dog that was pet aboard ship. The
sailors had taken great pains with the
dogs education and taught him q
number of tricks. One of his most
frequent exploits was to Jump through
the aperture made by the man holding
one of his feet against the other knee.
1t was trick that the dog seemed to
take great delight in performing. One
day the Admiral came on board the
ship on visit of inspection, and
while standing on deck conversin3
with some Of the officers was spied by
the dog. The Admirals bow legs
seemed to strike the dog as affording
the best chance for running leap hs
had seen in many a day. Suddenly
he made rush and leapt like whirl-
wind through the tempting gap. In
establishment at what had passed be-
meath him, the Admiral turned
quickly around to see what was the
cause. The dog took this action as
signal for an encore" and jumped
again, barking furiously all the time
as means Of showing how much he
enjoyed the sport. The bewildered
face of the Admiral was too much for
the gravity Of the spectators, and,
forgetting the respect due to rank,
they broke into hearty roar, in
which, after he understood the situa-
ton, they were joined by the Admi.
