After working patiently for awhile upon it, he. with a self-satisfied look, handed it to the Professor and calmly awaited the reward that merit deserves. Prof. Carringtou 1 examined it, carefully, looked at it side ways, turned it upside down, and at last said there was only one thing lacking:"You will bo obliged to write the name of the animal under it before the picture will be complete." Mr. Connard oecasionally exhibits his artistic talent to a wonderful degree. Upon this occasion lie was given a horse and a dog to copy upon the sfttne sheet of paper. When finished the dog was larger than the horse. S.MAX.
