DOGS OF WAR AND PEACE. 
“In the first regiment of the Royal Guards,”! 
says M. Blaze, “we had a dog called Bataillon. I 
Entertained by the soldiers of the guardhouse, 
he always remained there; his masters changed! 
every twenty-four hours; but that gave him no 
uneasiness. Sure of his pittance, there he 
stayed. He would follow no one to the bar¬ 
racks; but looked upon himself as the humble 
servant of twelve soldiers, two corporals, a ser¬ 
geant and drummer, whoever they might hap¬ 
pen to be; and without being uneasy about the 
matter. During the’night, when it froze hard, 
the sentinel frequently called Bataillon, and took 
his place to warm himself at the stove; the dog I 
would have suffered death rather than have 
passed beyond the door.- When we changed 
garrison, the dog followed the regiment and im¬ 
mediately installed himself in the guard-house 
of the new barracks. He knew all the soldiers 
—he caressed them all, but would take no notice 
of those who did not wear our uniform. To this 
dog the regiment was a master—an individual 
whom he- loved. His feeling was for blue 
dresses with amaranth facings—he despised all 
other colors.” 
It is owing to the difference among the varie¬ 
ties of the domestic dog in some respects—as 
in docility, strength, size, speed, keenness of 
scent, ferocity, etc.; and their similarity in others, 
as attachment to their masters, fidelity, etc.,— 
that there is scarcely any purpose to which the 
dog has not been put. Like man, he follows 
different occupations; the street dogs are the 
lazzaroni of their race. In the earliest times, 
the dog, like his master, was a mighty hunter. 
The chase of the ferocious or of .the swift was 1 
h s occupation; he brought the wolf, the wild 
boar, and the lion, to bay; or tired down the 
deer and antelope. Soon, however, war be¬ 
came a game at which kings played, and Vte 
Victis! for war in a semi-civilized state of so¬ 
ciety is unmitigated by moderation or humanity. 
Then was the dog called from the chase, or 
from guarding against savage brutes the peace¬ 
ful flocks and herds, to assist human brutes in 
the destruction of each other; the dog became 
a warrior, and a most formidable one, either in 
the citadel, the entrenched camp, or the battle¬ 
field. Shakespeare’s expression put into the 
mouth of Anthony, “Cry havoc, and let slip the 
dogs of war!” is by no means metaphorical.—

SPAR. COATING 
is used by those yacht builders who have a reputa¬ 
tion they intend to keep. The nmst expensive var¬ 
nish is the varnish that does not last long and leaves 
the boat unprotected The cheapest, because it is 
the best, is Edward Smith & Co’s Spar Coating-—it 
was used on the Internati -nal yacht cup winnos— 
on the “Queen,” the “Vim,” etc., etc. Its indial 
cost may be a little more than some, but in the long 
run it is bv far th° most economical.
