a Singular Incidental Monkey At
taCks Man.

There arc clnsscs of animals that frequently
display great affection for human beings
But the monkey is not one of these, whatever
may be the reason. Whether il is because
lie thinks himself the equal or even superior
to tho other animals or no, certainly lac man
ifests less feeling than any other of the same
intelligence. On the other hand, ho rarely
shows much aversion. and although mis-
chieYous, ho is seldom dangerous. But an iti-
cident that occurred yesterday in Main
street business house proves that tic monkey
can hate with vengeance, and eDdeavored 60
take it, on the object Of his hatred. In tho
second story of this house pct monkey has
Lcon kent for several months, aud not allowed
to come down on the fret floor lie has al
ways had an animosiiy towards one Of the eIn.
pGyccs. and exhibited it enthusiastically when
ever they came in contact. Sometimes hc
would show his teeth at the man, and often
walk around with an angry aspect, as if TO
spring on his prey. Yesterday the man was
waiting in the counting. room, not thinking OF
the monkey, which indeed was supposed TO bc
secure in the second story. But the auImal
raised the hatchway, and, climbing down the
post, crcpt into the room where his foe was
seated Watching his time, the monkey
sprang over the railing, 0 distance Of SIX feet,
on tho man, and commenced biting him
The latter seized him by the throat, aud when
he had nearly suHOcatcd the monkey, threw
him against the wall but hc recovered IN "a
moment aud fed into the store room and
sought hiding place. The firm, Gstccming
the employee, will part with the monkey.
