dogs.King Humbert of Italy, has rather

a queer taste for royalty in the selec-

t its' of a canine companion. His fa-

%orite is a bull dog of pure English

brood aucl as ugly as bull dogs gen-

erally are. The dog is not a present

from any one. The king fancital that

he wanted it mid he got it. The ilull

dog, it is said, had not been well

brought up, and showed a disposition

to dine off the royal robes. But

King Humbert, is naturally a kindly

man, and he (mused the brute to be

treated so well that at last even a

bull dog began to appreciate kind-

less Mid now it is as safe and sub-

missive as any pet could be.

The only use for a dog at the

sti I in of Turkt.y's paima, is to try ex-

periments on. The Mohatinnedium

dog than as a st.aveng4 T. A ken tat

One of these dogs, an English grey-

Lizzie Al-lemthe woman that was beaten insen-sible by the bruiser, testified to thefacts, and Judge Corey imposed asentence of ninety days in the work-house without the option of a fine.

If Killen goes back to St. Paul anytime during the next ten years hewill be arrested and made to undergohis punishment.
