Ingenuity Of Animals.

One of the largest of ferocious ami
mails in South America is the jaguar, q
native tiger, fctis o,,cu. Besides being
large and immensely strong, it prac-
tees extraordinary stragetic schemes IN
procuring food, which indicate some.
thing above mere instinct, because cir
cumstances are constantly requiring
some variations in their foraging expo
ditions for prey. Humboldt says when
they find turtle they. adroitly turn it
over on it's back. It is then helpless
and totally unable to offer resistance
in that condition. With the most cruel
manifestation of feline character the
jaguar then leisurely gnaws out the
qulvering flesh from between the shell
and carapace. Another of the jaguar's
reasoning man@uverings is to quietly
follow the margin of streams. At the
sight of fish near enough to be APP
preached, with quiet dash of it's paw
the game is thrown high and dry above
the bank. Fortunately for the country
the jaguar has match in the great SER
pents that infest tropical America. In
the twinkling of an eye one of these
monsters winds himself round his body
and brushes out life and cracks the
bones into fragments Mt the same mo-
ment.

Senator Wilson's Home.

Senator Wilson's house is thus de-
scribed in the Boston Times: It is a
pretty place, although manufacturing
town. Its main street looks business,
like and fuller of life than most towns
of its size. Leading from the village
center is the street where Hon. Henry
Wilson resides, when not in Washing
ton. It has neat cottages on either
side, with tasteful gardens. Among
the least pretcntlous of these is the
Senator's home. It is two-and- a-half
story house, with straw-colored coat
of paint and green blinds. In front
are two bay windows, and on one side
a piazza and tho main entrance, and on
the other IL small garden which shows
no Indication of cultivation other than
n circular plot containing a crimson
peony bush in full bloom. A cedar
hedge. neither trimmed nor thrifty,
skirts one side of the path. Such IS
the residence Of 1, Massachusetts Sena-
tor. 1t is neither elegant nor attract.
i've, hut simply comfortable and sub
stantiu], without all outward sign of
culture or refinement. It is the house
Of an x-sh"emakcr and is where Mr..
Wilson has long lived.
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1872-07-04
The report, as showing the result of
four years experience, may be summed
up in brief. as follows
Bald Heads.

Hair is essential to the perfect condi.
ton of the blain. Now this assertion
may seem ridiculous when it is we'll
known that the worlds great men, from
julius Caesar down to the present year
of grace, are as bald as goose egg.
There is nice physiological point
involved in this matter of no haired
skull, but it would take to much time
to explain the law, and besides, it
would require several technical terms
which nobody but doctors could under
Standard scarcely one in ten of those
learned gentlemen. If bald men ac-
complish so much without hair, who
knows what they would have done with
it,
Now, it is morally certain as any
proposition in science when the bulbs
out of which each hair springs are de-
stroyed no preparation will regenerate
them. Therefore waste neither money
nor labor in buying hair regenerators.

hood up t" manhood, ventilation would

bonnets save the ladies from that ca
lamity, unless they abuse their long
tresses 10y Overstretching them with
combs. Hats, like the best con-
structed houses, must have provision
for free circulation of air through
them. Hatters, therefore, have the
benefit of science for their guide.

jean Marie Lasche, of Paris, has in
vented and patented certain improve.
ments in decorative oil painting, the
object being to replace the painting in
OIL executed directly on surfaces tor
buildings, ships, carriages, carpenters
work, cabinet work, furniture orna-
ments, ETC., and also gliding, by a
portable oil, painting oiling already
executed, finished and dry which is
applied BY sheets, strips, or pieces up
on the said surfaces, by the aid of a
sticky varnish or waterproof cement.
The process is as follows:
Tin foil of the greatest thickness
that is to say, foil or tin or composite
metal Herewith, which are rolled very
thin and known as tin foil in the trade
lis spread evenly upon a hard and
smooth surface, which by preference is
slightly moistened to assist in the pro-
cess of spreading the tin foil. Upon
this tin foil any desired effect of oil
painting is executed, from the plain oil
painting in fiat tone, to the most Ella
borate ornamentation in all it's branch
es and this can be done either by
hand or by processes of printing, stem
Ching, through the aid of machinery,
in whole or in part, imitation of costly
woods, stones and marbles, subjects
of interior, ornamental gliding, and
combination of gliding and oil paint
ing. In short, anything which is exc
cuted in oil paint may, it is claimed, be
executed upon this tin foil. The work
when finished is vanished, and when
thoroughly dry is removed from the
hard surface upon which it was sheath
ed. It is then ready to be transported
from the shop, and for that purpose it
may be rolled like wallpaper. To ap-
ply this portable paint, the surface or
object upon which it is placed is coated
with sticky varnish OF hydraulic &C.
ment this portable paint is cut of the
suitable size and applied carefully
pressing it against the surface or OBJ.
ject, SO as to drive away all intervening
mir. The sheets moy be applied to- ir-
regular surfaces, carving, sculpture,
moullings, ETC.,. as the tin foil and the
oil paint and gold thereon are each very
p]iable.

From the st. Louis Republican.
VIM. w. Blackmore, un English cap
italist and the founder of the Black
more Museum ut Salisbury, is about
starting out from Denver on an ex-
tended tour over the Rocky Mountain
region. He will be accompanied by
Mrs. Blackmorc, Gen. Cowan, the As
sistant Secretary of the Interior, and
Col. John Dclano, son of Secretary
Delano. They first visit Colorado
Springs and Pueblo, accompanied by
Colonel James Archers, who will show
tho party the great natural wonders
about the Garden of the Gods ~ Pixies
Peak and the Fountain Que Bouille.
From Pueblo they go to the Yellowstone
region with Professor Hayden, the
United States geologist: then leave
him and cross to Fort Benton, then
down the Missouri River to Omaha,
holding along the route interesting
pow. vows with the Indians. Thence
returning westward to Colorado, they
cross the Sange de Cristo Pass to Fort
Garland, and ON to the Pagans' Springs,
where they are to have q pow-wow
with the Ute Indians, who are ilissatis-
fed, and have been making attacks on
the settlers They will next visit the
Pueblo Indians, at Taos, so rs to be
present ut their great annual festival
of the feast San Germania, on the Both
Of September. Afterward they will
visit Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and re-
turn via Fort Union to st. Louis.
It will thus be seen that a most com.
preh nsive route has been planned.
having for its objects the study of the
archaeology and the manner and Gus
toms of the Indian tribes, and also a
careful study of the flora and fauna of
the county traversed. Mr.. Blackmore
has a strong desire to study the Indian
character, and is firmly impressed with
the belief in the capacity of the In
dams for civilization.
Mr.. Blackmore commences his long
journey with the zeal of an enthusiast,
as will be seen from the following ex-
tract taken FROM a private note: - )
"You see 1 have carved out an ex.
cursion which FIR interest, novelty, or
enjoyment will rival any that can be
planned in the Old World. I shall be
glad to add to my knowledge OF. the
great resources of your country, and
shall hope to return-barring scalplng
and accidents-to the Old World q

From Fraser's Magazine (Enelsh).
One explanation OF our ignorance of
the social characteristics of the Amer
leans may he found in the fact that our
Impressions of them are, partly, de-
rived from the books of travellers who,
in hurried journeys through the
States, have simply noted such super
fetal traits of the people rs came
under their observation in hotels, rail-
roads and steamboats, but also. in still
greater degree, conceive, from those
British works of fiction in which ma
tives of the United States have been
introduced, the individuals therein de-
lineated being very generally
accepted by the majority Of
readers as fair types of the American
hgures IN either an odious or ride
ulons aspect. To say nothing of those
portions of Martin Chuzzlewit," the
scene of which is laid in the United
States, 1 may mention Richard Avcrnal
in Bulwer's my Novel" the Colonel
in Levers "One of Them Fullalove
in Charles Reads I" Very Hard Cash."

Maine to Texas, and such as
it may safely be affirmed was never vet
heard from the lips of any one human

ard on the Haymarket stage
is simply a vulgar cockaey, with
habit of speaking through his nose:
and it appears strangely inconsistent
that delicate minded, refined woman
like Mary Meredith should tolerate the
addresses of such a man. When the
play in question was originally pro-
duced in New York, Jefferson of Rip
Van Wrinkle fame was the Asa Trench
ard, and in his hands the character be.
came fair, unexaggerated type of the
native of New England, cool, clear
headed, brave, warm-hearted, but
ignorant of the conventionaities Of So
ciety. Here it would have been cuvuire
to the mass of play-goers, their pre-
conceived idea of the character being
so totally different.
