E. Wheeler, “late of Sydenham, Kent, England,” is writing a series of “Hints About Dogs” for the Toronto Globe. lowing to say of the bulldo; “Here we have a specimen of a degenerate race. What are put forward for bulldogs in the present day, h their bleared eyes and villa- nous expression, are about as unlike the old English bulldog as possible. “The dog so named in modern times is quite an artificial creation, and brought to its present state of ugliness, and what breeders choose to call perfection, by breeding fron those specimens exhibiting those characteristics now so much valued by fanciers. What our forefathers, some gene- rations back, would have said if such a bandy - legged, underhung beast had been penta to them as a type of the cele- rated bulldog I don’t know. The old breed had certainly no aristocratic cast of coun- tenance, and his home was generally with the frequenters of the tap-room, but there was a certain rugged honesty of expression, and a determination in the ap nce that, if it did not call forth admiration, at all events com- manded some respect, and had not the repulsive look of the present generation. The head was square and large, ears half hung and not too small, full rounded at the tip; forehead low, and top of skull nearly flat; but wide; chest y wide, loins fine, tall of moderate length an medium thickness. The fore legs were straight. but short, and the hocks of the hind ones ver low. The barrel of the chest was full rounded, and the ribs strong and close together. There was not so much of the greyhound bulid about the body generally, the belly being of moderate size and not shrunk away to nothing. The muzzle was flat and the eyes prominent, but not bloodshot and watery, and there was little or no appearance of an underhung lower Jaw. Such was the bulldog in looks, and his temper was mild—faithful and affectionatetothose he knew, but more especially to his master. Now turn to our present race. Look on this picture and on that. Iam bound to regard the present so-called bulldog as simply an ugly mon- strosity, obtained by combining together in one animal the worst features of the entire breed, and leaving on one side any redeeming virtues, except the courage, which is about the only vir- tue that still sticks to this animal. The old and valued trait of faithfulness is entirely wanting, and he will just as soon bite his master as any one else on provocation. Also, this modern race is quarrelsome, savage, and treacherous in the extreme, seldom or never safe to take out with you fora ramble if you don’t wish to get into trouble before you return. The chief features as fancied at present of this breed area very large, bullet-shaj head, with protruding under Jaw, termed ‘underhung;* and this Js considered a Very great point, some ens being under- hung to the extent of three-quarters of an Inch.

It is evidently to the interest of society to put an end to this kind of business. It there ing felony they are never put in force. The occupation has a bad influence on the detec- tive, as he is likely to prosper in_ business in proportion to the fidelity with which he con- the felon, and .his employment involves a sanction of crime. In altogether too many cases he is separated from the criminal by so nothing. The gradations of humanity are so close and continuous that it Is dificult to say Just where the line between the good and bad classes can be draw! The consequence is that these frequently creep into the forces for the repression of crime who ought to be in the penitentlary themsel Asa rule, better men ought to be employed to deal with criminals than are so en; l. It” is not an attractive calling, and those gravitate to it, of course, who find in it the most profitable or congenial thing they can do. Nothing less than a change of conditions can prevent this pressure from prevailing to a greater or less extent. How, then, are the conditions to be changed, so as to not only secure better means for the repression of crime, but to induce sufferers by theft not to compound felony? It has been sug- gested that communities resolve themselves in- to lusurance companies and make good all losses. thus taking away from the individual the incentive for permittirg: the thief to escape punishment if he will return the goods for a consideration.
