 thirty miles in the darkness in. at the most, about. live hours

 wonderful and. mysterious power that guided his footsteps,

 course, but with "Perplexity" would very much like to have 

 some one explain. 



MURDER MOST FOUL. 



MURDERED because he would not sell for more than $25u] 

 Su.li. we read, was the fate of poor Prince Royal, a 

 Laverock setter, ov ned and offered at a public sale by H P. 

 Llewelliii. --What an inhuman wretch!" was the indignant 

 remark of a friend, a lover of dogs, to whom 1 mentioned the 

 circumstance in which opinion I niost heartily joined. I never 

 heard of any atrocity committed upon our dumb pets among 

 people nulling themselves civilized which has SO stirred my 

 blood; aud the more we look into the matter, the more abom- 

 inable does it appear. This person, moving in good society, 

 pretending to be a gentleman, and having ample means. inteY- 

 este himself to such an extent in dogs as to aspire to have his 

 name attached to a breed of setters.' 



He finds himself at last with a surplus, and decides to offer 

 some of them at public sale, on which he. places large reserve 

 prices. Two hundred aud lifty dollars is bid bv several differ- 

 ent gentlemen lor a single animal, but the amount not satisfy- 

 ing Mr, Llewellin. he orders the poor, unoffending dog aud his 

 mato to be killed. That the dog was a prime good one, and 

 in full health aud strength, is amply proved bv the high in Ice 

 offered at the sale. Then, why should the poor fellow— "man's 

 most faithful friend"— be. consigned to such an early and igno- 

 minious death? Simply to show Mr. Llewellm's lofty scorn of 

 such a trifle as tfOTif). He seems to have had uo friends to 

 u hom lie might have made a present of poor Trinee. Well, 

 the fewer friends such a man has the better it shows for hu- 

 manity. 



We. have, all of us often heard of many vulgar aud disgust- 

 ing displays of wealth, particularly by the ilouveaux rialies, 

 but who ever heard of such a heartless as well as most sicken- 

 ing display as this? When 1 think of old canine pets, many of 

 which we all of us keep many years after their - usefulness is 

 past, simply for the. affection we have for them, it soems al- 

 most impossible that there shoidd be any human beiug so 

 miserably destitute of a heart as tins R. P. Llewellin has 

 shown Himself to be. What a pity that the strong arm of the 

 law could not reach such a case as this! I notice in some of 

 the papers a great deal of discussion about the breed of setters 

 bearing his name. With this I have nothing to do; but, as a 

 faithful friend of a good dog, I feel I am but voicing the sen- 

 timents of many when I say 1 wish to record my protest 

 against such wanton cruelty, and to stamp as infamous the 

 pei-son who committed it. G.

TENNESSEE FOX HUNTING.— I met Col. Johnson this 

 morning, and from him learned that last night he had the 

 most beautiful fox chase he ever took part in in bis life. His 

 dogs were in splendid trim, and as soou as they reached Mrs. 

 Ellis's farm, a fox was started, aud for two hours the hounds 

 run him as never dogs run a fox before. The wily fellow 

 had not au instant to lose, but occasionally a briar patch or 

 a thicket would check the pace for a few minutes, then he 

 would have to take the open, through woods and grass, and 

 once he took to a cornfield, and as the pack came toward him, 

 driving the fox at lightning speed, their music was like the 

 singing of millions of birds. Once he tried to evade his pur- 

 suers by taking to the top of a stone wall, though Nick and 

 Sandy were equal to the strategic move, and never left the 

 trail a second. So hotly did they chase the fox, that he passed 

 close to whore tho Colonel was seated on his horse. After all 

 their magnificent work, the dogs were doomed to lose the 

 game, as he made one desperate spurt, jumped a. five-barred 

 gate, and instantly took a hole. 1 do wish for the sake of the 

 lovers of fox himting that I could convey to them the earnest 

 sportsmanlike manner in which the enthusiastic Colonel 

 narrated the above, aud thev would enjoy it all the more.—

WHISTLING DOCS vs. DOVER.-Uncle James was a 

 veteran t'au.-ier and kept a large lot of tykes, in fact, any- 

 thing in the fancy line of pets, if they were" very rare. Lucie 



party was one of the sort that talk thick, and Uncle ,lames 

 was a wee hit hard o' bearing: "I was B ent to ask you if you 

 wanted to buy a pair of whistling doves." "Whistling dogs! v 

 replied the veteran; '"I've owned aud seen all kinds, but that 

 beats my time. Where did they come from P ''Japan, sir." 

 "No, I don't want them; the ones I have make noise enough 

 by barking and yelping, and if I had a pair of Whisllern they 

 would drive me into the lunatic a.syium."— Lorctto.
