To the Editor Of the Press:

10 the Edttor OF TIE Press:
In your paper of the 10th inst. was an inter-
esting account of lame OK that showed I'M
common intelligence for an OK, in presenting
himself to blacksmith for treatment, and as
presume your readers have all read it will
not repeat it but offer few comments. The
intelligence which beasts exhibit is called in
stinct, but we are never told what instinct is or
how it is produced, and we are given to under
stand that the intelligence shown by beasts is
entirely different from the intelligence shown
by man both in kind and degree. Now intelli-
gence is understanding and understanding is
knowledge and no one, neither man nor beast
can know anything without the existence of
something to know and the ability to perceive
that something and its relations. II we had
no eyes, that is, if we were deprived of the fac
ulty of sight we could never know what color
is and many other things of which we gain
knowledge only through the eye, and SO far as
we were concerned there would be no such
thing in existence as color, SO as our faculties
are increased and developed are we able to
perceive things and their relations, hence new
things are perceived and new relations of
things as our organizations are developed or
made sensitive to outside things and their re-
lations. Now the intelligence of beasts de-
pend upon tie same principles as that of man
and is the result of the same effects, therefore
beasts think and reason upon the limited num-
Der of things and relation which they are able
to perceive and man only excels the beasts in
matters of intelligence, by faculties to perceive
a greater variety Of things and greater varie-
ty of relations. Il.
