one Of the Emperors A. ID. e20. il was
thought to grow like cotton on trees, and
was sold for its own weight in gold. Silk

Affection and Intelligence In the Brute
Creation.

Every one has heard OF the sympathies of
animals towards each other. Cries of dis
tress will often call them forth. When the
dam of a newborn lamb has died, some af-
fectionate sheep. although she may have one
Of her own, has been known to foster and
Suckle the helpless one. In my own imme-
date neighborhoGd, the youngest Of a large
litter OF pgs-a poor little helpless creature
who was not able to get at his mother for
nourishment, was warmed under the wings
Of good natural hen. 1t was fed by hand;
but when turned down, the hen was always
ready to take charge Of it, and thus il was
reared. These Instances might be multi
piled to "A considerable extent, showing the
active benevolence Of some animals but TIE
following fact will prove the existence Of q
combined intelligence in creatures, which |
have reason TO believe has been hitherto un-
noticed by naturalistsa as existing amongst the
leathered creation. The accuracy Of the an
ecdote may be ,ouched for. 10 the island Of
Ceylnn there is to be found very cunning

property. The crow was two cunning and

David Turpie OF a "Bender .

The Monticello Spectator gives a
graphic portraiture of "big drunk"
lately INDUCED in by the Hon. David

Governor of the State of Indiana
Taking possession of a Jewelry shop, in
the absence of the proprietor, be assem-
bled some dozen boys of the town. He
in the first place bought the attention
of the boys with some poor jewelry,
purchased for the occasion. He then
got drunk. Next he make the boys
drunk, having voted five dollars to
that patriotic purpose. After each round
of the bottle they took vote for Lieu
tenant Governor, in which the Hon.
David Turpie received clear majority.
He then sung blackguard songs, told
obscene stories, and sent for more whis-
ky. Growing moro musical, he solicit
ed the presence and aid of one Samuel
Cooper, a decent colored fiddler, who,
being an Aboltionist, declined the prof
fered honor, remarking that "he would
not be caught in the company ofany
such drunken scallawag as Dave Tur-
pie" He then hired white lad, Is
years old, rs leader OF the Bacchanalian
orchestra, giving him one dollar and all
tho whisky he could drink.
Cards were thcn introduced, and the
drunken ogre was carried on until the
proprietor of tho building procured as
sistance and drove the drunken crew
from the building.
The scene is represented as bong the
most disgusting and disgraceful ever
