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.

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

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 '

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

' - 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,

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

""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

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.

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 .

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

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. *

that we will not buy their bacon at any \

"Another drover arrived on Thursday t
with a lot of hogs, which he was offering at \

by the combination that 'if he sold for less ,
than 10 cents they would make him rue it,'
J meaning that they would uudersell him."
