RICH DOGS.

Unless lie be recently dead, the richest dbg in the world is said to be Billy, who belongs to an American mining magnate. .Hilly is a big dog, and on one occasion he was piloting his master and h.s mate to their cabin on the mountains when the latter was so sure that a certain turning was the right one that he let Hilly and his master go the ir own way and he took his, giving the dog .a parting kick to show his contempt. for Irs intelligence. But the dog was right, and presently conducted his master to the cabin, and then, :n spite of the kick, set out to find the other man. He found him utterly lost and at his last gat-p almost, and led him back. So grateful was he that lie nrosentod the dog. after he had ".■.truck it rich." with a. gold-studded collar, and opened a hanking account in liir, name, which will only be disturbed to give him a fitting funeral. By the will of a Russian princos who died last year t'4ooo was left to her toy terrier. Gipsy. Either from grief or the burden of wealth the dog died six months after his mistress, and as he could not contrive to live at the rate of £BOOO per annum, most of the money was intact, and the judges were occupied in finding the next of kin, which, to all appearance, seemed to be a certain prize puppy. "Whether the lucky dog got the money the account in the Russian paper does not say! A lady who recently died left £2oo each to her coachman and his wife, and the former was also left her horses, dogs, parrots, and other animals, together with £4 a week as long as any of the animal may be living, and lie shall humanely feed, maintain, and care for them.
