HAVE DOGS SOULS ?
What Mnny Grout Authors llnvo Writ
tea oti Tills Bubjoct.
With regard to the Immortality ol
dogs or other animals , many opinion *
might bo cited In the uiflrmative , sayt
the Westminster Review. Aa Lamar-
tine says :
"No ! ocl will never quench Ills sparli
divine ,
Whether within some glorious orb II
fihlno ,
Or lighten up the spaniel's tender gaze
Who leads his poor blind master
through the maze
Of this dark world. "
Translation.
"I hao never been able to persuade
my heart and my understanding that
dowgs hae na immortal eowls , " panta
the Shepherd in 'Ncctes Ambrosianae , '
when Mr. North's "great Newfunlau' '
swims out to the assistance of himsell
and his companion , Mr. Tickler , in a
rough sea off Pcrtobello ; 'his soul
maun be Immortal. " Later on this no
ble animal was cruelly poisoned and
Christopher North ( Prof. Wilson ) , and
his friends lament his many virtues.
"Often do I wonder , " says the Shep
herd again , "whether or no birds and
beasts and insects have immortal
sowls ! " To which the English Opium-
Eater , who happens to be present , re
plies : "What God makes , why should
He annihilate ? " "True , true , Mr. do
Quincey , " gladly agrees Hogg. Some
of our readers may remember Luther's
words to his dog : "Never mind , little
Hans , thou too shalt have a golden
tail some day ; " or , according to a bet
ter translation : "Thou , too , in the res
urrection , shalt have a little golden
tail. " Swinburne , in his sonnet to Dr.
John Brown , speaks of :
"The night of death's sweet sleep ,
wherein may be
A star to show vour spirit in present
sight ,
Some happier island in the Elysian
sea ,
Where Rab may lick the hand of Mar-
jorie. "
"My dear lord , there is a spirit
dwelling in good beasts , though
irearny and unconscious. " says the
chaplain in Fouque's weird romance
of "Sintram and His Companions. "
Coleridge , writing long before Darwin ,
seems inclined to conjecture the beast
to be an "unripe or' degenerated hu
manity. "
SIR HERBERT KITCHENER.
A. Good Jadgo Qt Character Fair la
Ills Patrouuge.
Gens. Hunter and Rundle had al
ready distinguished themselves in the
khedival service before Kitchener be
came their chief ; Macdonald also ,
Lewis Maxwell and others had joined
the Egyptian army under another sir
dar , but a crowd of good men owed
their appointment to Kitchener , says
the Fortnightly Review. He has eve'r
tried to get the best assistance possi
ble ; he is a judge of character and he
has been very fair and public-spirited
in the use of his patronage. A serv
ice which offers large promises of pro
motion and distinction has been eager
ly sought after. Great pressure , po
litical and social , has been brought to
bear upon the man who really con
trolled nominations , for the sirdar's
recommendations have been invariably
respected at the war office. But in no
case has aught but merit availed and
the result is that the officers now serv
ing in Egypt are "the pick of the
basket , " the brightest and best in the
queen's service. Y/e may confidently
expect those trained in Egypt to rise
in due course to the very top of the
tree. The present generation of dis
tinguished soldiers is passing away.
At the end of another decade , soldiers
of the school of Wolseley and of Rob
erts will be mostly disqualified by age
if they have not already joined the
majority , and the country must look
for their successors among the young
men now coming to the front. Oppor
tunity is the only sure avenue to suc
cess in our army , and those who make
the most of it rise fastest and highest" .
In this way Egyptian service has of
fered the most abundant chances of
modern campaigns. Seldom , if ever
before , have quite young men junior
in regular rank found great openings ,
responsible duties , large commands , at
a time when they would be no more
than regimental company officers , in
specting dinners or mounting guard.
Sir Herbert Kitchener occupies a posi
tion almost unique in the experience of
British generals. Not only is he at the
head of a large army in the field before
he Is fifty , but he has enjoyed extraor
dinary advantage in command , some
thing indeed like complete independ
ence.
