BROWN LOSES A D0Q. f : I ditl say as Ii never would have a dog for to darken'rny doors, bat when Brown brought it in I must say I never see such a beauty, as is called Sikey, though its wrote on the collar "physic," as plain as can be, but I suppose that's what fit is in French, where it come from. ; I : ! ? I never see a loylier coat than that cree tur had got, as soft as silk,iwith an. eye as seemed for a beam on you, 'as the sayin is. I never did see (such a dog in a house; no trouble no ways, except a nasty 'abit of griawin! things,! as I-very soon cured it on. I'm sure that dog know'd what l was a-thinkin' about, with a temper like a lamb, or else, our cat never would have took to though ! a! mother herself it as she did, through me 'avin saved two beautiful kit tens, one a tahbyjaxdi ththdWackr7iSi is bolhrciSecr, Tor parties as knows me is glad to have a cat out of my, house. . I'm sure the; way as that dogtpok to them kittens if he'd been their own uncle he xould'nt have been kinder, though at times more, free than welcome, as the sayin' is, through a-takin' them out of the basket whenever the mother had turned her back, as was a good mother I mnst say. BrowfT was always at me about not over feedin that doar, and I'm sure I never did. not as he were a greedy! dog, nor ever touched the cat's dinner,! as I considers honorable, and might make many a Chris tian blush, as I've knowed take mean ad vantages at my own tableiin helpin' their selyes to the best, a-thinkib' me to be un awares.;., 1 ' - -' . The trouble as I took with washin' and com bin' that dog nobody would'nt believe, as knowed Friday by his instinct, and would hide in the copper-hole, for I must say I did take. a pride in his coat, as shone like silver, anil, not a tangle in it, and would'nt have trusted him to our Liza, as is too hasty in her ways. . ' Well, I must say as j I was anxious about the animal, for Brown wa3 a-talkin constant about that dog bein' lost, "For, says he, "there's money in him. I says, "Well, then, if he should be lost through my fault I'll find him." ! v I don't think -it was three -weeks after as I'd said it when one day I wanted 'to go as far as the Wandsworth road, and took the dog with me, through k-thinkin'. as the poor thing were a-pinin' for exercise. I'm sure I can't a-bear lookin' after a dog, for turnin'; round, constant don't suit me, but I'd had it once or twice quite safe, and so hadn't np fears,. and certainly he foKj lowed beatitifuTl titl all of a minute IIbok-" for I thought he must have flowed away, and then 1 says to myself, "He's been and run into a shop or somerwhereas." foo 1 stops and calls I'Sikey' Sikey," till parties j asked me what I'd lost, and one young j chap with his impudence told me I'd bet- I ter whistle for him I'm sure I was up and down that road: two good hours, but riot a vestment of him could I see, and as it was a-gettin' dusk I give him up. I could have cried when I got home, and Brown was put out, for we really felt quite lone some without the poor thing. , r I says, "I'll have bills and offer five shil lins reward. He says, "Don't be a fool, you'll rfeyer get; him back fbr five pounds. I says, "If I know'd he was that valuable he never "should have moved: but with a collar and string. i Well, there, he was gone more than ten days when Lwas a-mentionin bf my loss to Mr. Rawlins'onj as keepsjthe Risin' Sun, as says to me, '(Why everldoh't you apply to the bishop for him. j I says, "What's the bshop got to do with; lost dogs?, "Oh, he says, "everythin, Why, bless you, he's got Acts of Parlia ments for 'em, and there ain't a dog-stealer in-London as don't quakefat his name.' 1 I says, "Wherever is he to be found, bless .him?' Says he, "In Bond-street, that's where he's bishop of.' ! J says, "Oh, indeed; but, Jsays, "won't it be a liberty in me to go and speak to a bishop about my dog, as is unbeknown to luVlordship?" He says, Not at all." ' I says, What's the number? Says he, U Ask , any ,gna whm-yxuigf& there, every body knows him and everyone looks up to him. I says, I'm there the first thing to-morrow. J . J didn't say nothing to Brown, through wantin for .to surprise him in bringin the dog back with me, but ofl I went by the West-end 'bus, as put me down in Picca dilly, land soon J found my K way to Bond street, as 1 walks up till meets a police man, as I asked for to direct m"e to the bishop's. "Bishop of What?" says he. Why, of Bond-street, of course, says I. Oh, he says, there it is, and him a-standin in the doorway.! I A noble figger with a apron on like the driven snow, as Pve heerd says bishops always wears. Of all' the kind parties as ever see he was the kindest He felt for me like a father over that' dog. Ah, he says, ! my dean I've hadiosses; but, he says, I'll try and help you. Walk in, says he. . L' - ' ' I did walk in, as is noble premises, and the guns all about the place, as, of course, is a terror to them dog-stealers. Well, he shows me his dogs as is picters, and told me how he'd lost a hangel through a fancy old maid a-takin' it into her head as it was a rabbit, and had it destroyed. She must have been a fool I should say and wanted lockin' up herself, as nobody wouldn't be sa e with; but with all his kindness he wasn't able to throw no lights ever my dog. So I says, I turns you many thanks for your kindness; for, I says, kind you are and a feclin hearty 'for I could see as tears was a comin into his eyes when he spoke of, his loss; and bless you, the place full of the very lords in the land," as he showed me himself a duke as he nuss'd a babby, and praps ve christened, not as he carries on the bishop now thr6ugh havin retired, but he's a no.ble-'arted man as .ever I see. , j i j . - I nvas a-goin home witii a 'eavy art, and a walkin slow down Parliament Street for the bus to overtake me, when what should I see in a man's arms but the very dog itself j: j : ' --j : --r ; Well, just as I come up lie puts. it, down for to light his pipe. I gives a chirrup like fro make sure as it were thr? dog. -Thc ammaT looked up and knowed me. 1 pounces on him and ketches hold of his neck. Let my dog- alone,; says the fellow, a scowlin' at me. Shan't, says J, "itaint, yourlog, i j . . It is, says he.' Your'e a falsehood, says I, for its mine, j I rt . j Well, I'd got the dog that tight as he could'nt jerk it out of fmy.hand, and there vvas plenty of people a-passin as stopped. ( What's the row? v says a fellar. Why this old female's try in to j grab my dorg, says the other. ( . ' And she's agoin'. to grab it too, says I, Are you? says he. ! V Yes, says I, and here's the police, and up one come in the very nick. I says, Policeman, this is my dorg as I lost last Thursday week in the Wandsworth Road, as tills fellar has got. The man says, Who are you a-calling a fellar? I tell you this dog is the property of a gentleman in St. John's Wood as lost it on .Friday, and I've got it back for him. , j9 I says. Policeman its. alt lies, I sware to the dog. I says, my name is Brown, I'll give you my address. So he wrote it down,-and asks the man the gentleman's address in St. John's Wood, as he said he forgot, but know'd the house. Says the policeman, 'Walker.' If you'd seen them two fellars step it at that you'd have smiled, and was reg'lar roughs, and that dog got that dirty as I don't think any i one would have know'd him with a bit of rope round his throat, as had been evident tied up. I was , that pleased as to 'ave a cab, and so got home just before Brown, and to see that dog iump over him when he come in it was for all the world like a Christian, and I do belie jrtheneatr was d ,'glad to see him back as any of us. 1 About a day or "two after up comes a brougham to the door, and out gets a young lady, leastways she was dressed handsome, but; when she opened her "mouth she split it all through her talkin' that loud, with her face painted and floured up, as I could see though she did keep her wail down, as I considers rude in speakin' to any one. So she bonnces up to theloor, and says, I want to see Mrs. Brown, jl says, 'By all means', through bein' at the parlor door. I says, walk in. I ; 1 She says, I've called about that dog. What dog, says I. ! The one you claimed on Monday in Par liament Street, she says, it's mine. I says begggin' your pardon, it ain't. fihe says, "A inena oi mine gave it me on Saturday; he paid five pounds for it, and it waa stolen before three O'clock the same day. The poor man you met with it was bringing it .home to me when you took it from, him. I says, a poor man he may be, but he has robbed you as well as me. Why, says I, how could he know about the dog bein' yourn in the time? Oh, she says, my friend sent a red coat man. down from the club into West minster Saturday night to ferret it out, and he came and told me ;he was on the track Sunday morning. Well, says I, tracks on a Sunday morning may', be aU very well for them as likes 'em, but that man is a thief. tracks or no tracks. . Come, she says, iMrs. Brown, you're a dear jolly old soul, you'll Jet me have the dog. Not it 1 knows it, says 1. make you giv&it up, you call people theives, look at home, she says. ;Now my, good girl, you keep a civil tongue in your head, and take yourself off, or I'll have a police man in, lor Jdo believe you're one of the gang. - ; , She bounced out bf the place a-wo win' wengence, as I says, let her have, but she don't get that dog for all her impudence, as is no doubt one of a gang of swindlers, as goes dashin about dressed up foto take parties in, but I ain't such a fool as I looks, as the saying is, and if they ever gets a-hold on Sikey again they may keep him.M" Mrs. Davis. 0 the "interview with Mrs. Jefferson Davis With her husband, a correspondent writes: J Within fifteen minutes; from the time of her admission to the fort she was with him in Carroll Hall. LieuteriantFessenden bore her company. She has remained with Mr. Davis all day, and took dinner with him. An officer.has been constantly in the same room. Their meeting was a tender and affecting one, as such a meeting must natu rally be after such a protracted separation, and particularly under the circumstances attending their separation.' FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING. i Harper's Magazine and Weekly, before the war, used to pander to extreme South ern opinions. During the war they found that something else paid better, and re versed their course. There hare been of late no more unscrupulous and reckless villifiers of the South, to say nothing of Northern Dememocrats, than those two publicans. They, calumniated both with pen and pencil.; Now that the war is over, they find, like the Herald, that it is impos to recover their Southern circulation, and they whine accordingly. Whereupon says the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail: j . Our objection to the Northern illustrated newspapers was based upon the. indecent and immoral effect of the sensational en gravings upon which those papers depend lur-iueir.circaiaiion. -mw tenaogcy oi tne pictures is to instil into the minds of chil dren and thelnore ignorant adults, incen diary idea4 and false impressions, which time .can never erase, j Their continual abuse and villification of the Southern peo ple, their lampoons and caricatures of the noblest sentiments and j aspirations, have done more to retard restoration anllerigen der reciprocal bad. feeling in the people of the South, than have all the speeches, essays, poems .and sermons oft all tho Radicals combined. We have not forgotten; and will never forget, how those papers repre sented the women of the South,' haggard, contemptible, ornamented with bones of Union :. soldiers hanging from their ears and wrists! We have not forgotten how the Southern man was always painted asr little better than a dog and much worse than a bear, hunted in swamps by his own negroes clothed in uniform or wallowing in the filth of debauchery. Much of this may have been overlooked thd fTOMr'oa r as the effervescence of. malignant cowards i ii i ii wno aesireu to sen pictures, even tnougn it were at the expense of covering an hon orable people with infamy, and corrupting the brutish senses of their black allies. Since the war has stopped, there could be no excuse for continuing these things. Still it Jias been continued, and weekly we are informed that the negro is our superior, by engravings ' which represent graceful, well jdressed, attractive negresses, sitting beside Southern women, who .pull away their tattered, soiled garments,1 and turn up their hideous noses. Not only so, but these pictorials bid defiance to the decency of humanity.
