INGALLS, SPOTTED BOG.
His Owner Turned the Laugh on Gem
Grant,

Gen. Horace Porter, in his Scam
paigning with Grant," in the Century,
relates the following anecdOte:
Gen. ingalls, had just returned from
trip to Washington, and brought with
him an English spotted coach dog, which
followed him everywhere through camp,
and attracted no end Of attention. &
dog of any kind was rather an unusual
sight in an army in the field, and an ami
NAL of the peculiar marks and aristo-
cratic bearing Of Ingalls, companion ex-
cited widespread remark Every time
the dog came to headquarters Gen.
Grant was certain to comment upon the
animal, and perpetrate some good-na-
tured joke at the expense of his class
mate. The dog followed the usual ca
nine custom, and expressed his feelings
by an agitation of his caudal appendage:
10 describe his actions astronomicaily.
1T may be said that he indicated anger
by imparting to his tail series of lon
gltudlnal vibrations, and pleasure by
giving it a gentle motion in azinuth''-
famlllarly known as wag.
One evening, as the general was sit
ting IN front of his quarters, Ingalls,
came up to have a chat with him, and
was !OilOWeu Dy the QOg. Wn1ch sat down
IN the usual place at it's masters feet.
The animal squatted upon it's hind
quarters, licked its chops. pricked up it's
ears, and looked first at one officer and
then at the other, as if to say: "I'm
Gen. Ingalls, dog; whose pup are you?'
In the course of his remarks Gen. Grant
took look at the animal, and said:
well, ingalls,, what are your real in
tentions in regard to that dog? Do you
expect to take it into Richmond with
you? ingalls,, who was noted for his
dry humor replied with mock serious
ness and an air of extreme patience: ''T
hope to; it is said to come from long
lived breed" This retort, coupled with
the comical attitude Of the dog at the
time, turned the laugh upon the general,
who joined heartily in the merriment.
and seemed to enjoy the joke as much
as any of the party.

beard of education here. This peculiar
condition of affairs has developed
through the ideas of certain members of

however, to establish the custom of
hiring only single women to teach. The
commissioner who advocated this says
that he does it upon the ground that
they are more efficient. When demand
was made for his reasons for such a
course he stated that married women
were only temporarily in the business
and that the single ones who have to
support themselves and have fitted them
selves for the positions should be en-
couraged. The board adopted a formal
