* r - - Romakdblo Dogs. "We present to our readers this week portraits of two dogs, distinguished, one for liis extraordinary Bizc, and the other for a degree of sagacity almost incredible. The dog has been, time out of mind, the friend of inan,aud the faithful and viligant protector of his pereonand property. Num. LTCiicas iiucwiuwa uuu wuiifso iu ins luum* ory of persons, places, and favors?his bravo ry, bis fidelity, and bis quick appreciation of the difficulties of a position, and more than instinctive power of subjecting circumstances to bis purposes. A dog *vbo acted ob leader to a blind beggur in Now Orlcanj. remembered not-Only the route, taken by., bis mas-. terthrongli*the different street* ofttfe-'eft?,* bjit where contributions 3i? at rogular intcrv als, on two or tliree days of the week. It was noticed by a lady, one of the beggar's patrons, that the dog brought his master toiler house regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, stopping on no other day of the week; while on Tuesdays and Fridays, but on no other days, he was seen to stop at the next house. These were the dayo on which those patrons were accustomed to contribute to tho necessities of the dog's master. What almanac did he consult to ascertain the day of tho week ? A gentleman, living near a country town in Indiana, was lately called to town to sco a sick relative. Ilis dog, a large Newfoundland, acconipained him. On returning home, the master, anxious to receive daily , accounts of his sick friend, wrote a note of inquiry, tied it about Boxer's ncck, and told him what to do, pointing along the road in the direction of the house. Boxer, after a ew momenta ot study, started oli on ins errand, and faithfully performed it. For a period of three weeks he made two daily calls at the house of sickness, and bore to liis master the letters there given him. A more singular instance of sagacity is told Of a large mastiff in an English market-town. Rover had the misfortune to run a thorn into his foot. The matter was ' neglected by his master's family until the foot was largely swollen and extremely pain, ful. The master returning from a journey ' ** just at this time took Rover to a surgeon, ; who extracted the thorn and bound up the , foot, directing that ho bo brought back next morning for a further examination of 1 the injured limb. This was dono. But ; thereafter the dog went regularly every ' tnA.ntnrv (f\ tliA on .. O^ . nna.A| UiUi IUUq tu tuu OUIj^Wll ? U1I1UC] DUl ctlV/U'JU at tlio door till lie was admitted, and then < presented his foot for examination. Finally he was cured, and the surgeon ; lifting up 1 the foot, said, "Rover, you foot is well; you need come no more." This Rover, however , did not uudcrstand, but contiued to come i evidently regarding the surgeon's words in the light ; of valuable professional advice. ? One morning, howdver, he declined to leave the office alone, taking hold of the surgeon'? coat to induce him to come also. Following him to the door, the surgeon found there another lame dog which Rover had brought along, but which the servaut, on admitting Hover, had shut out, not considering bim a proper patient. The good-na tured surgeon took the dog in, and perform ? ed what was necessary for a cure ; the two dogs appearing every morning until the i $ stranger was cured. But this was not the ; - end of the matter, llover brought to the 1 surgeon's office every lame dog he found, ! on .the street, and as all were well treated j and none proved ungrateful, ho shortly found himself, when on the streot, the cen- i tre of an admtiting and grateful concourse rf''fc ?? J i_ _ i? ?i i i . - 1 ui uog?, wno iouowea uim wherever he went, 1 ' - and by barl^s and the wagging of their J tails endeavored to show their gratitude to | their benefactors?obtaining for him among i the.townspeople considerable notoriety, and < the sobriquet of "Doctor Dogstar.". j r fiut as Doctor Dogstar, was in reality a ( skillful physician, tbat which was at first . an annoyance attracted public attention to t liim, and ultimately aided in securing him } 'success in his profession. 1 An: afFecting circumstance was recently J ^ -related in the French papers. A young <( map took a. dog into a boat, rowed to the i centreof the Seine, and threw 4he animal t v i y . * - - * . over, with intent to drown him. The poor ( . * dbg often tried to climb up tlie side of the { y >boat; his master as often pushed liiin back J j " till overbalancing himself in the struggle, he s v. himself fell overboard. Not being a swim- 1 . iner Jie would tfave drowned, but that, as J soon as bib faithful dog saw bim in liiewa- ( ter, he left the side the boat, and held j t 'lm'/master up, uu li 1 a^islance reached them - r -fold the shore., % - ' */\l The fierceness of the bull-jdpg was well tL '.J lustrated by a ^horribly ci'uel exp erjuo^i JLHjhJ, for a wagpr, sodfo ^y^are ago, in the gonh <?f England.' A> jropng'^aao,; confident ? jn thejiiroicity^ that: * poured. The day aft>-r his departuro tLo large house-dog had fallen upon the little 'onier, and so injured it that it could scarce walk. After two days of careful nursing under the landlord's direction the terrier had strayed away no one knew whither. J?ight days thcreattcr it returned to the hotel, accompuined by a vory large dog, when ibo two forthwith fell upon the terrier'# former enemy and gave him so unmerciful a drubbing that he was long unable to more Thereupon the two again disapeared, and, had not been seen since. Op returning home, the terrier was almost the first to greet t}ie merchant. On inquiry, he" whs, Inlil lliaf llin tiffin ntlimul >finH rillnrtin/) bomef looking brtlT^cd and ill at ease, and ^Mt the following day ho bad again disap peared. At the same time a neighbor missed a very laige Newfoundland, which ho prized much. In a few days the two dogs had suddenly returned, and no one had thought farther of their absence. It was evident that the merchant's terrier had procured tho neighbor's Newfouudland to aid hiro in getting his revenge. Judge llaliburlon tells a story showing that dogs are susceptible to the passion of jealously. Going to George's Island, he Itook with him two dogs?a Newfoundland and a small terrier call.id Tit. Tit, being a slender, eleari, and dandyish dog, soon be-, came a favorite among the Judge's friends, and was often admitted in to the parlor when the shaggy Newfoundland, wet and' dirty, wag excluded. The consequence was that Thunder became jealous, and refused to associate with Tit, punishingseverly any attempt at familiarity on the part o the little favorite. As their master, how-f ever, would stiller no quarreling, Thunder contented himself, when in his company, with treating Tit with silent contempt. One day having been on an excursion with the dogs, the J udgc missed the terrier. "Thunder was close at my heels," sav* he,'*and when 1 whi.-tied for the other, wagged his tail and looked up in my face, as4ii lie would say, Never mind that foolish dog ; I am here, and that is enough?or is there nit' tliinrr vrm tvfllit nut In /In ? ""J B J "" " *" ' "Searching in vain for Tit, I happened to ask a sentry if lie know whore lie was. "Yes,Sir; lie is buried in tlio beaeh." "Buried in t he bench ? said I, with great linger. "Who dared to kill hiui I Tell me Sir immediately." 'The large dog did it, Sir. He entired Lira down to the shore by playing with liim, pretending to crouch and then run if? r?sometime.-^retreating from and then aliasing the small dog. When he got him near the beach ho throttled him instantly, ind then scratched a hole in the saud and buried him, covering hiin up with gravel. Afior thai he went to the water, nml tviili paws washed his head and face, and then returned to the barracks." s "On searching in the spot designated, Tit' lead body was found. Meantime Thunder, who had watched our proceedings from a distance, as soon as lie saw the body exhumpluuged into the harbor and swam across to the town, where he hid himself for several [lays, till he thought the matter was blown over, when ho approached me with anxious face and cautious mien, evidently fearful of punishment." A touching instance of tenacious memory in a large mastiff is within the knowledge c mm._ .1 .. 1?t i ui tuts writer ui tins. liiii UOJJ IJMCI lOflU H master to whom he hud been much attached ( His master's portrait was hung in the par lor of one of his sons, into whose possession , Watch also came ; and the dog's favorite resting-place was on the parlor carpet, just below this portrait, which he evidently recognized, and looked up to with a touching atfection. One day, many months after his master's decease, repairs being made, the portrait was taken down and placed upon the floor ; and presently Watch was fouud standing close to it, fondly licking the face of the picture ; and no inducements would persuade the faithful brute to relinguish his |<lace, or permit the portrait to be touched by. the workmen who had taken it down. no. quitted ins post only when ordered by ' lIik master of the house. Dogs seem to find n peculiar and grati- J tying excitement in a fire-scene. There ' ire numerous instances on record through- 1 >ut the country, of dogs, generally power- ' ill fellows, attaching themselves quite naturally to a fire company, and displaying, on ' occasions of conflagration, the greatest enthusiasm. In front of an engine-house in Brooklyn, Long Island,may be seen, in- ! ;losed in a glass case, the stuffed remains of 1 i dog who was long a cherished member of * ,he company,the first on the alert, arid the J nost lively and good-tempered in times of . rial and danger. One of the er,giue com- ' >anies of Philadelphia had long a dog a- 1 nong their number. Hover's name was ( ailed at every roll-call, and liover' himself j v.-is aiwuys carcu ior, sib ins sterling quali- 1 ies of vigilance, activity, and faithfulness J leserved. . .. - v "Bill," whose portrait we here present, is f i dog of many extraordinary adventures, c md well deserves tho collar which was pre- r ented to him a few weeks since by an "ad nirirtg and appreciative assembly, llo beongs to a "fire-escape man" in the caBt of 4 ^ondon,ahd is not only first to discover a J ire in his neighborhood; but also foremost n the advance to the rescue.'

Interesting in Relation to Japan. W. II. Dotty delivered h lecture 011 Japan, in Philadelphia, 011 Thursday evening and from a sketch given id the Ledger we take the following : Tbe government of Japan is shared l?y ec'Clesiart't'al and military sovercgii'. The anirifllMl knvnrniirnV rniii-f ic 1*^1^1 ?? - ? --a" " ">-,u the religions capital of the country, and consists of 20,000 prints, who have in charge 4,000 temples in that immense city. Tlis council is composed of 200 grand high priests of the first rank, who occupy with hitn a portion of the palace. The Siogun.or Emperor, resides nt Jeddo, and is assisted hy a council of hereditary princes, who form the legislative body, who regulate taxation, commerce, public works, police, criminal jnstice, military affairs and religion. The country is divided into 8 provinces, 23 principalities, 68 departments, and 622 districts. The provinces and principalities are governed by hereditary princes, among whom a kind of feudal system prevails. The department and districts are governed by a chief and four vice governors, who are assisted by as many secretaries, and watched by as many spies. Government spies perv'ade every portion of the empire, and are attached to every imperial office, and are always in their presence. The imperial of ficers are kepi in office during good behavior, and arc promoted according to merit, without regard to dates. The higher class of people nre generally of a light olive complexion, medium stature, very muscular, small hands and feet, black hair and' eyes, and have beautiful teeth. Their custom of going about with their heads uncovered, and exposed (o the rays of the sun, make their complexion appear much darker than is natural to their race. There are several distinct classes or grades of society. Hereditary princcs and high military officers stand highest in the order of nobility. Government aud imperial officers stand uext. Magistrates, spies and soldiurs stand noxt in tlii> ordur nii'iit The nobility always wear their insignia or coat of arms on their dress. The city of Jeddo is, he said, without exception the largest city in the world. It contains 1,500,000 dwellings, and the unparalleled number of 5,000,000 of people. Some of its streets are 10 Japanese rise in length, which is equal to thirty-two English miles. The commerce of Japan is immense, and the sea all along theii coast is covered with their ships. Their vessels are laden in the Southern portion of the empire with rice, tea. sea coal, tnlinwio. silk, r.nttnn mill frnni. cal fruits, all of which find a market in the North, nnd then return freighted with corn, salt, oil, isinglass and other productions of the North?which, find ft market in the South. Under our present treaty with Japan our trade with that empire will bo limited, inasmuch, as all our business transactions with their merchants liavo to be inade through government agents; but, with a liberal commercial treaty, our trade will, in importance, be next to China, and second to noue other in the world. * * A Dreadful Spk6tacj.e.?It will be remembered that the Russian line of brittle >ii!p Lefort, lately 'capsized at noonday in the bay of Finland, carrying down twelve liundred persons, of whom nearly four hun* Jred were females.
