a singular case ofa monkeys intelligence
is mentioned by the San Francisco Bulletin.
4 n animal of this sort was teased by some
Chinese washer women ,wherest he broke his
chain, and, instead of going fer his tormen-
tors, Jumped upon their clothes lines, from
which he tore their linens, laces, hsndker
chiefs, and everything else that he could lay
his claws on. If this does not show insigh,
into the weakness of human nature; it would
be hard to find ANYTHING that does.

We have heard so much about German un-
an'mity IN the present war that it is rather re-
ireshlng than otherwise to find a German in
tn this country putting himself in opposition.
The editor of the Ncue Xcd reminds the Ger
man exiles that they left their native country
to escape the expressions OF despots like King
William. Much has been said, he exclaims,
y of Germany's greatness, Germany honor,
Gernany's unity of Germany's freedom,
not word" But will Germany be any the
less able to secure its freedom after it is united
than before? And will the true interests of
the German people DO much advanced by i'm
practicable patriots who in struggle of this
kind virtually propose to make their country
free by handing it over to France, and, not con-
tent with protests against fighting, actually
discourage collections for the wounded?
