T.T. WAS INTIMIDATION.
It was in University -place. A boy, preceded by a dog, was crossing by one of the path 3 when he encountered a woman, preceded by a smaller dog. The two canines halted. So did thuir respective owners. Tho animals looked at each other fixedly from a distance of six feet, each with his tail waving over his back, and each uttering low growls, " Call off your dog !" exclaimed tho woman, as sho saw tho situation. " Calls off yours," replied tho boy. "Can't you restrain your dog?" she demanded in a high key. " Ho ain't doin' nuthin'." "Yes, he is ; he's intimidating my Fido."_ "But your Fido is giving him sass. I ain't goin' to restrain my dog when your dog is asayin' ho kin lick him with one hand tied behind him." "Here, Fido ; haven't you more care for your reputation than to faco such a low-down dog as that? Come here this instant ! I shall punish you for this !" "Hero, Shakespeare," said tho boy, as ho gave his dog a light kick, " you lot that animal alone. You tackled one jist like him last fall, and you had indigcbtion for two months. Ho ain't alive ; he'a jist pretendin' to be. He' 6 a stuffed lamb with a dog's tail glued on, and tho woman works him with a string. Conio along with me, and I'll show you a rcg'lar livo dog down here." — Xctv York- b'/tv.
