CoMMUNICATIoS OF IDEAS AMONG CATTLE
There is a large shallow inlet on the Prussian
shore, known as the Frscbe Half, crossed for
the first time by steamers ten or twelve years
ago. Upon their way the vessels paddle By a
common, near the Elbng river, upon which the
town people turn cattle out to Craze. When
the first steamers passed this common, they
caused every flank Of beef to quake; such
fends in dragon shape had never appeared
before to try the nerves of any COW, or to excite
wrath in the bully bosom Of the most expert
enced among the warriors of the herd. With
tails erect, therefore, and heads bent down, the
whole colony upon the common charged over
dykes and bitches inland, roaring horribly.
Every appearance of the steamer, to the great
Joy of the crew. caused panic and scattering
of oxen, until after a few days, the animals had
become hardened to the sight, and took it as q
thing of course, which meant no harm to them.
Now all the horned beasts on the common
during that first year were in the usual way to
be tatted. In the following spring they had
gone the way of beef and their place was filed
by new generation altogether. So soon,
therefore, as the Half was clear Of ice, and the
steamers again began to ply daily upon the
route between Elbing and Konigsberg, the
sailors were on the alert again to witness the
old scene of uproar by the water side. But
they were disappointed. Though there was the
pasture ground well stocked with new recruits
for the market, who had come from distant
inland farms or out of stalls within the town,
though scarcely one of them-f any one-had
ever seen the apparition Of a steamboat, not
cow ainched. The members of the whole herd
went on grazing, or stared imperturbably at
the phenomenon. 1t was a new thing, no
doubt, for them to see, but they had already
haan tp1l of II Evarv sr,rinp the first mas sing
of the steamers is in this way regarded by
flesh generation on the common with complete
indifference. The experience acquired by its
forefathers ten or twelve years ago seems to be
now added to the knowledge of every calf born
in any corner of our province. And yet, in
what way have these calves been educated? or,
if this fact has been taught to them at all,
what else may they not know?

The Tomb Of James X. Polk.

Mr.. Polk, before he was elected to the presi-
dency, had resided at Columbia, Maury county,
Tennessee, but previous to retiring from Office
he had purchased beautiful residence at Nash
vile, where he took up his abode, after a jour
ney through the southern States, upon the ex-
piration Of his term, in March, l849. Death
unexpectedly shortened his career on the 10Th
of June, l549, and on the following day his re-
mains were accompanied, to their resting place
by large concourse Of his fellow citizens. His
amiable widow has caused to be erected taste
fnl tomb over his remains, in the grounds of
the mansion house. The monument is tablet
supported by four columns, with square pillar
in the centre, on which the name Of the Presi-
dent and other particulars are inscribed.

The Tomb of Madison
MONTPELIER, VIRGINIA.

MONTPELIER, VIRGINIA.
At Montpelier, the name which Mr.. Madison
gave to his beautiful residence in Orange coun-
ty, Virginia, about one hundred miles north
west of Richmond, and thirty miles from the
grave of Jefferson, are inferred the remains oil
the fourth President of the United States, and
father of the Constitution. We have no recol.
lection of any published account of Mr.. Madisons S
tomb, although his late residence has been fire.
auently described. The memory of Mr.. Madison
has been somewhat neglected in his native State.
Short sketches of his life have been written by
John Quincy Adams Charles J. Ingersoll, and
other northern men, and there is a brief notice o.
him appended to his political writings but full
personal biography of this great man is much
wanting. After his death, iu June, 1896, Q
funeral Grafton was delivered before the citizens
of Richmond, Virginia, by William II. McFar
land, esq, of that city, in which he gave al
eloquent sketch of his public life and services
but no account of his private life. Mr. Adams
was appointed by the city authorities of Boston
to deliver an eulogy on Mr.. Madison. The
faculty of the University of Virginia paid due
honors to his memory. In Congress his death
was appropriately noticed by resolutions, and
speeches made BY Mr.. Patton, of Virginia, and
John Quincy Adams. .u# wv.
We believe that the remains of Mrs. Madison,
the venerable relict of Mr.. Madison, who sur
vived her husband until her death recently,
were also inferred at Montpelier.
