Romantic Story Of Generosity and
Gratitude.

Here is a neat little story from Ken
lucky: About twenty-five years ago a
young man from that State took horse
back ride to Virginia, where his father
came from, and on his way he met a
man and his family moving West so
poor that they were almost reduced to
starvation. He had compassion on the
wretched group and gave them 500
bill with which to reach their journeys
end. In about fifteen years the young
man received letter from the man he
had befriended, saying that he was q
prosperous merchant in Southern Ken
lucky, and inclosing 500 to repay his
loan. After another ten years, which
included the great rebellion and its ter
mination, he was elected to the Lower
House of the Kentucky Legislature,
and being man of talent and inhu-
ence, was chosen Speaker, during the
contest for which he had noticed that a
stranger and one of the other party was
his strongest supporter His curiosity
was aroused by this and he asked the
mans motive, as he never had to his
knowledge seen him before. "Sir," re-
piled the member, ".you will recall,
when ! mention it, little scene that
occurred when you were boy on your
way to Virginia. 1t was you who saved
my wife from starvation. She has told
me time and again that never did a
morsel Of food taste so sweet-so utterly
delicious, as that you gave her then.
She was but six years old at that time
but when she saw your name, during
the late canvas, among the prominent
probable candidates for the Speaker
ship, she laid down the law as to how |
was to vote. This is all. Neither She
nor her father and mother, brother and
sisters, nor myself, can ever forget you.

and disgracefui scene, which have in
no one point or by no one word exagge-

the iconoclasts had commenced their
wretched work at the Chapelle Expia-
toire. Surely within few days Versailles
must conquer, and some very strong
even-handed Justice must compel the
poisoned chalice to the lips of these
rampant rufflans.
A scene took place yesterday at the
magnificent new Church of the Trinity (;
at the end of the Chaussee d'Autin, on
the Boulevards, which is worth describ-
ing by itself. After stripping the build
ing of all the valuables and decorations,
which were Systematically carried off in
three furniture wagons to be sold,
presume, the federal guards brought out
the marble statue of the Virgin, and a
gem of art, blackened its eyes with
charcoal, made hole in its mouth, into
which they stuck dirty short pipe,
and finally dressed up the statue in the
costume of continiere who disrobed her.
self on purpose. They wound up this
exploit by dancing kind of carmagnoie
around the statue and drinking obscene

Animals and the Faculty of Reason.

So many facts have been recorded in
various works showing that animals
possess some degree of reason, that l

stances, authenticated by Rengger, and
relating to American monkeys, which
stand low in their order. He states
that when he first gave eggs to his mon
keys they smashed them, and thus lost
much of their contents afterward they
gently hit one end against some hard
body and picked off the bits Of shell
with their fingers. After cutting them
selves only once with any sharp tool,
they would not touch it again, or would
handle it with the greatest care. Lumps
of sugar were often given them wrapped
up in paper. and Bengger sometimes
put live wasp in the paper, so that in
hastily unfolding it they got stung; at
ter this had once happened they always
first held the packet to their ears to
detect any movement within. Any one
who is not convinced of such facts as
these. and by what he may observe with
his own dogs, that animals can reason,
would not be convinced with anything
that could add. Nevertheless / will
give case with respect to dogs, as it
rests on two distinct observers, and can
hardly depend on the modification of
any instinct. Mr.. Colquhoun winged
two ducks, which fell on the opposit tie
side of stream, but Retriever tried to
bring over both at once, but could not
succeed she then, though never before
known to ruffie feather, deliberately
killed one, brought over the other, and
returned for the dead bird. Col. Hut
Crimson relates that two partridges
were shot at once, one being killed, the
other wounded; the latter ran away
and was caught by the retriever, who
on her return, came across the dead
bird; "she stopped, evidently greatly
puzzled, and, after one or two trials,
finding she could not take it up without
permitting the escape Of the winged
bird, she considered moment, then
deliberately murdered it by giving it a
severe crunch, and afterward brought
away both together. This was the only
instance of her ever having wilfully in
jured any game" Here we have rea-
son, though not quite perfect, for the
retriever might have brought the
wounded bird first, and then returned
for the dead one, as in the case of the
two wild ducks. The multeers in South
America say, II will not give you the

Fashion i'm Shoes.

Walking shoes are of fine French
kid, stitched with white, with only a
tracery of embroidery across the instep.
Some lovers of uniformity have their
walking shoes made Of the material of
their costume, with foxings of kid.
Black satin CATERS, laced on the inside
of the foot, are selected, frequently, for
carriage shoes. Besides the croquet
shoe, there is an Oxford Tie, high both
at the instep and the heel, which bids
fair to be useful and popular for morn
ing wear in the country. Slippers for
full dress are of kid, satin or silk, as
preferred; slippers for morning wear
are of fancy colored morocco, bronze, or
black kid, and for the ultra classic, the
sandal, with supports of ribbon or eias-
tic for the ankle, are again suggested.
Enameled and even studied buckles, are
worn upon ladies' morning slippers.
These various ornaments-bucl<les ros-
etts and bows, for ladies' wear-form a
large business in Boston, in which
money is represented. The latest
"agony" in shoes consists of walking
boots of Russia leather and the latest
edict of style is that broad-soled shoes
large and easy, will be fashionable.

Arrangement of Rooms.
From the Art Review for May,


Give your apartments expression
character. Rooms which mean nothing
are cherries indeed. Study light and
shade and the combination and arrange
ment of drapery, furniture and pic
lures. Allow nothing to look isolated,
but let everything present an air Of
sociability. Observe a room immediate
ly after a number of people have left it,
and then, as you arrange the furniture,
disturb as little as possible the relative
positions of chairs, ottamans and sofas.
Place two or three chairs in CONVEX
sational attitude in some CHEEKY corner,
an ottoman within easy distance of a
sofa, chair near your stand of stereo-
scopic views of engravings, and one
where good light will fall on the book
which you may reach from the table
near. Make little studies of effect
which shall repay the more than usual
observer, and do not leave it possible
for one to make the criticism which APP
plies to so many homes, even Of wealth
and elegance-"Fine carpets, handsome
furniture, a few pictures and elegant
nothings-but how drearyw The chill
ing atmosphere is felt at once, and we
cannot divest ourselves of the idea that
we must maintain stiff and severe de-
meanor, to accord with the spirit of the
place. Make your homes, then, so coy
and cheerful that, if we visit you, we
may be joyous and unrestrained, and
not feel ourselves out of harmony with
our surroundings.

A Political AnecdOte.

A contributor to the Boston Journal,
who is reviewing political "reminiscences,
writes thus:
On his way from Washington to De-
troit, just after his nomination, Lewis
Cass passed through New York. He
was accompanied by large number of
leading politicians, whom John Van
Buren, described as Cass' pail bearers,
who "were taking his body to Mich
gan by way of the lakes "a sarcasm
which went the rounds of the party pa
pers in those days, and which reminds
US of another remark of his after the
election was over, and Taylor had been
elected, which has never been printed.
We were on our way to Washington,
and met John Van Buren, in the ferry
boat, crossing the Hudson to Jersey
City to take the train to Washington.
We sat together all the way. The Wash
ton depot was then on Pennsylvania av-
enue. We each had valise, and were
carrying them in our hands to the Ma
tional Hotel. On the avenue we met
Mr.. Rives, the proprietor of the GIo6e.
He was going past without noticing Mr..
van DuieH, WIZ StopPeu anu spohe W
him. Rives looked at him, and said in
rather a. sharp way, " You are pretty
Democrats in New York to allow the
State to go for Taylor and defeat the
Democratic candidate. Van Buren,
replied in his quiet, .jocose way, Yes,
Rives, it was too bad, as you say but
the truth is, CaSS hurt the old man in our
State" The two then parted, when Mr..
Van Buren, remarked to us that he
thought Rives had not gained a point
in that game -
