There is a dog at Brighton— ?a ; large ;?t - Maltese. Sometimes the dog has a purple. / body, with a yellow head and a greed tail; ;, sometimes he is scarlet and puce.: He is a kinder rainbow dog. The fact is he belongs to a dyer in the town, and being naturally white he takes any other colour. ' easily, and now he gets a dip in one rat, and now in another, and he forms a sort of canine advertisement. It is fun to see thia dog, which is quite unconscious of hia • distinguished condition, come up to other dogs, wagging his yellow head .and green . , ; taiU and the way that those dogs, after regarding him out of the corner of their eyes for a minute, tuck their; tails between ■.-.-•* their legs and "scoot" is a caution. Some time since a friend of ours, who had , >r been occasionally a victim of: the "old :; $ complaint" was going down to Brighton ,-, for the race week in great health and spirits. When driving from the station. ' he suddenly came on this dog. " Hall©,:,' boy I What's that? Hey 1 hey! hey! ob7 ' lor! Oh, lor! got 'em again!" and be. *> turned round and went to London, firmly -• persuaded that he was again a victittttb' !< D.T.'s—London Sporting Times. ' r'"!' •■ Good-by,"said Margaret.

A few days ago, the Earl of Hardwicke was-assuring the Court that, although a bankrupt, he hopes by-and-bye to pay jlwenty shillings in the pound; and now , we read in a recent Gazette the name of the Earl of Perth and Melford as among tho«e who have found it necessary to take >"'the benefit of the Act." "How.much, is the ante," whispered a Bed Guloh miner with a single $20 gold piece to the deacon with the collection plate in the Baptist Church at Black Run, Col. He was told to contribute whatever he, chose, whereupon he said he'd chip in a dollar, and proceeded to take nineteen dollars ohange. The deacon softly replied ,tbat no change was given. A struggle ensued, the plate was upset and the congregation were in the act of " jumping the .deacon's claim." when the minister, an old Calif or nian, leaned over the pulpit with a large navy revolver and observed : "TBe brethren will please take notice that I've got the drop on them, and any brother who declines to go to his seat or who touches any of that money will hare aNuneral at his house to-morrow at two p.m. Our mining friend from Red Gulch will kindly release the deacon's throat or he is a dead man." The $20 gold piece Went to save the heathen.
