MARKED DOGS EYES.
An ExpIanatioa Wanted Of the Presencs
oFThese Tan Spots. f>s l

An ExpIanatioa wanted Of the Presence
oKThess Tan Spots. go l
Can any of your readers explain the
meaning OF the tan spots seen so COM
monty over the eyes in black and tan
dogs of most breeds?
When in Melbourne last year, went
carefully over al the dogs in show
with one Oh the stewards, and we found
the spots In all the black and tan ter.
riers, foxhounds, deerhounds. collies.
lurchers, etc. but could get no infor-
nation regarding them from the ex-
perts.
In some of the highly bred toy dogs,
rs the small black and tan terriers, j
found ON inquiry that these spots, for
merly so very conspicuous, were being
bred ont and had nearly disappeared.
Their persistence through 50 many
strongly marked varieties, except those
of late date, is singular, for there is
fairly good proof that when first domes-
ticated the dog was rcd or brown, like
the pariah, dingo, etc.
As far as ] can see, we do not find
the spots white on black or dark
ground, nor yet black or dark ON q
white or light ground. MY explanation
is that they have arisen as q permanent
marking after the dogs ''sported" 'te
black under domestication and have
been preserved and developed through
natural selection. Possibly they are pro.
tective and simulate eyes.
One morning just nc dawn, I had oc.
casion to 60 out into the garden, and
while STOPPING TO examine some flowers,
near q fence partly covered with creep
ers, suddenly saw an animals head
looking through, and what seemed TO be
two seemingly large and ferocious
black eyes glared at me. Suspectine
that black leopard was aboutto spring
over, started back, clapped my hands
and shouted. To my relief, however,
saw tail wag and found that the spec
tator was cooly's dog knew very
well and which recognized me. The
use of the tan spots--in this case ri
least-then occurred to me.
May it not DO that the spots thus
serve protective purpose and have of
ten saved the lives of dogs ti3lack dogs
from their enemies, the smaller felines
such as the clouded leopard, etc. ]? Per
haps the matter is not new, but if it ii
it seems worth looking into.

CARDINAL ANTONELLl.

The Great Papal Statesman as He Ap-
@. peRred to q Painter.
Rudolph Lehmann's visit to Rome in
1857 led to the painters introduction to
the great papal statesman, Cardinal An
tonelli. He says: ..... e..
Before me sat that execrated states
man, "the best hated man in Rome"
In the most affable of moods. His
bronzed and somewhat oriental features
were certainly far from handsome, but
they were full Of character, energy, and,
according to some, cruelty, with the
large, dark, piercing eyes overshadowed
by q heavy brow, the strong aquiline
nose and the full sensual lips. He was
in talkative mood and spoke freely OF
the difficulties that beset his onerous
ministry, Of the position of the papacy
becoming daily more threatened through
the ever increasing energy of its wicked
enemies, or what he called 'the modern
spirits. ;" But" he added, "history
teaches us that it has always triumphed
i'm tho long run. and it will do SO now"
He also told me that the worldly inter
ests of the brothers Antonelli had never
been separated; that they possessed all
their worldly goods in common, one
brother being director of the Banca Ro-
mana; one, the Conte Gregorio, taking
| care Of their vast possessions i'll the Pom
tine marshes, third being syndaco of
Rome and the youngest being employed
in diplomatic missions by the secretary
| of state.
During short rest he showed me,
/ with evident pride, over his elegant
apartment, furnished with all the latest
modern comforts. But the crowning cli-
max was the bedroom, combining with
the solemnity and mystery of the abode
Of a prince of the church all the luxu-
ries Of the boudoir of petite maitresse.
The walls, the curtains, as we'll as tho
hangings round the spacious four poster,
were of the heaviest crimson damask,
looped up with enormous tassels. Dos

srE,LER,s SEA lIoa.

NNR LION HimseIf. Il fs

AhOm nhm9G11s
Steller's sea lion is the king of the
pinnipeds. Unlike nearly all other sea
animals that have been gloriously mis-
named after familiar land quadrupedR,
his appearance is quite honlike, partiD-
ularly his massive head and feroCions
countenance and his powerful neck,
covered with long, coarse hair OF a
tawny gray color. While he does not
roar quite SO thunderously as the king
Of the desert, he roars much oftener
and more universally. In temper he is
more lionlike than the lion himself, for
the old males are continually fighting
and cutting each other with their long
teeth in a way that real lions never
dream of. They are timid and afraid IN
the presence of their master--mafl-e-.
but SO is the lion also, for that matter,
though he is not stupid idiot, like the
sea lion.
Steller's sea lion is at home in various
places in North America, from the Far
alone islands and Point Reys, near Fan
Francisco, Dorthward along the Pacific
coast to the Pribilof islands. He loves

vast amount of ill-natured and un-
founded criticism Of the Hon. JOHN GRIFFIN
CARLISLE is made by persons that object for
more than sufficient reasons to the financial
policy or impolicy of the Administration.
The only just criticism of Secretary CAR
Isle that can be made is that his friendship
for Mr.. CLEVELAND causes him to sacrifice
his own reputation by remaining in a post
where he is only hired man, carrying out
the orders he receives, and made a butt for
all the attacks which the foundering
financial imbecility of his superior officer
draws from all quarters.
In justice to Mr. CARLISLE and in Justice
to Mr.. CLEvELAND's unrelaxing interfer-
ence in all branches of the Administration.
the man should no longer be gibed and
jumped upon for the doings of the master.
The Secretary Of the Treasury is GROVER
CLEVELAND. To him all complaints should
be addressed. Mr.. CARLISLE is simple and
loyal gentleman who has been persuaded to
his injury. Mr.. CLEVELAND is the most
distinguished tinancier of the CLEVELAND

such glory as may attach to the policy of

1twas an important despatch from Wash
inRton which we printed yesterday, that the
lone Democratic member of the Legislature of
Michigan has changed his mind about support
ing Mr.. UHL as his candidate for the United
States Senate. About week ago he gave no.
tice that his vote, truly lonesome one. would
be cast tor UHL, whom he intended TO uphold,
In Joint session, against tho whole power of the
Republican Legislature. We humbly trust that
THE Sun assisted this unterrifed Democrat,
DONOVAN of Bay, to change his mind. We gavc
him the record of UHL as Assistant Secretary Of
state under GRESHAM the bungler. who. In q
single year. brought discredit upon his coun-
try in Hawaii, Samoa, Nicaragua, Turkey.
Madagascar, China, and Japan. This record
was surely all that could be needed TO turn
the mind of the great and only Democratic
legislator in the State of Michigan. Better that
he should vote for the Republican candidate for
the Senate than for UHL. The latest news from
Washington is that he has finally determined
thus to vote, so that the entire vote in both
Houses OF the Legislature Of Michigan will be
Republican upon the question of the Senator
ship. UHL, who was the unanimous choice of
the Democratic State Convention for Senator
last fall, has lost even the single supporter who
in the state Department. If Mr.. DoNovAN's
change OF heart remains unaltered till the hour
at which the vote for Senator Is cast ho will de-
serve the respect Of the Democratic party in all
the States of the Union, and his name
will be unsmirched by association with the
name Of UHL, the bungler.
