ABORIGINAL.—An incident that took place lately in Hal-
ifax, Nova Scotia, displays most clearly the blissful ignorance
of the untaimed sons of our forest with regard to the usages
of banking institutions, while it also tends to excite the
risible faculties most immoderately. Two Micmac Indians

and a squaw presented themselves

dialogue : Indian—Dis the place where you len.
Teller—Yes. Indian—Sartan me want five pounds, my
brother and sister will see me pay you. Teller—The Bank
does not let out so small a sum as five pounds." At this the
Indian seemed much disappinted and replied—No ! How
much you let'em out den-? Teller—No sum less than twenty
pounds." Upon this rejoinder the dusky interlocutor turned
round and deliberated ~ravely for some time with his sure-
ties, when with an earnest countenance whose native dark-
ness was doubly deepened by chaerin, again addressing
him-
self to the teller, be replied. " more in sorrow than in anger

REASON IN THE LOWER ANIMALS.—At a meeting of
the Zoological Society of Ireland, Archbishop Whateley, in
an interesting lecture upon the study of zoology in general,
stated his belief, that brutes and insects possess reason as
well as instinct. Some persons might feel inclined to ques-
tion this doctrine ; but to the-sceptical he could only reply by
referring them to this undeniable fact, that brutes every day
perform actions which, if peeformed by men, would be styled
rational. Such actions could not by possibility be traced to
the blind impulses of instinct ; and, if they were termed ra-
tional when the agents were human beings, he could not un-
derstand by what process of logic it could be proved, that
they ought not to be regarded as an exercise of the reasoning
- brute creation.

for it was by taking advantage of their memory that men
gifted them with docility. He had heard of a dog who, wish-
mg to reach a boat lying in a river, plunged into the water;
but, finding that he had been carried by the action of the
stream to a point far below the situation of the boat, he got
ashore again, and, plunging again into the river higher
managed to gain the boat by swimming obliquely. 'lll cir-
cumstance surely gave evidence of a higher mental qualifica-
tion than mere instinct. It bespoke a re-soning power. The
slog saw the action of the stream carrying him downwards.
Warned by experience, he went in, allowed for that action by

father's family there was a cat who used regularly to ring the
