Extraordinary Faculty of Dogs. 
ON my asking the Ayah one evening what made the dogs 
bark so vehemently ? with a look of terror •■she exclaimed, The 
deevils, ma'am ! dog see deevils, know deevils—always bark 
so that when they are supposed to bay the moon for mere 
pastime, perhaps, that is to say, if our English dogs are as 
gifted as their Hindoo brethren, they are, in fact, barking at his 
infernal majesty.— Mrs. Col. ElwoocTs Travels to India.
