Teufel the Terrier. Told by J. Yates Carrington. (Pall Mall
Gazette Office.)—This story of the " life and adventures of an artist's dog" is nothing less than delightful. A large dog-life literature, to which the Spectator has made some not valueless con- tributions, has sprung up, and we hail Teufel the Terrier as a most interesting addition to it. Teufel' had, like other creatures that have something in them, his " Sturm and Drang" period. That over, and its duration probably roughly coincided with the process of teething, he became one of the " delights of the human race," or at least of so much of the human race as had the pleasure and privilege of knowing him. Of course this book has its specialty. Teufel,' it will have been observed by the reader, was an artist's dog. Some of his most marked characteristics were brought out by his position in life. And we owe to the pencil of his master a number of charming drawings which greatly help us in realising what he was.
