curios,tie. of Animal Life.
From the Edinburgh Review.l

from the hcFleW.l
There can be no doubt that dogs feel
shame as distinct from fear, and some
thing very like modesty when begging
too often for food. A great dog scorns
the snarling of a little dog, and this may
he called magnanimity. All animals
feel wonder, and many exhibit curiosity,
the latter quality affording opportunity
for hunters, in many parts of the world,
to decoy the game into their power. The
faculty of imitation, so strongly deyel-
oped in man, especially in barbarons
state is present in monkeys. A certain
bullterrier Of our acquaintance, when
he wishes TO 90 out OF the room, jumps
at the handle of the door, and grasps it
with his paws although he cannot him.
self turn the handle. Parrots also re-
produce with wonderful fidelity the tones
Of voice of different speakers, and pup
pies reared by cats have been known to
lick their feet and wash their faces after
the same manner as their foster-mothers.
Attention and memory also are present
in the lower animals, and it is impossible
to deny that the dreams of dogs and
horses show the presence Of imagina-
ton, or that certain sort OF reason Is
also present Animals also profit by
experience, as any man realizes who
sets traps. The young are much more
easily caught than the old, and the adults
gain caution by seeing the fate Of those
which are caught. Tools also are used
by some of the higher apes. The chin
panzee uses stone to crack a nut re-
sembling walnut, and the Abyssinian
balloons fight troops Of other species,
and roll down stones in the attack be-
fore they finally close in hand-to.hand
encounter. The idea of property is
common also to every dog with bone,
to all birds with their nests, and notably
in the case of rocks. Nor can certain
kind of language be denied to the brutes.
The dog communicates his feelings by
barks of different tones. which un-
doubtedly raise in his iellow-dogs ideas
similar to those passing in his own mind.

story or an Interesting Painting


From the San Francisco Bulletin.l
We have already made notices of the
principal pictures now on exhibition 70
the gallery of the San Francisco Art
Association, 3l5 Pine street; but in re-
spect TO them we have received some
details correcting former statement
and which will no doubt be interesting
to the public. The picture alluded to
is lie Bruins portrait of Louise de la
VALERIE. She is represented with one
hand on the head of blackamoor page,
and the other on fountain at Versailles.
The tradition is, as we learn from cor
respondent, that when she entered q
convent she had herself taken in this
way BY LIE Brun, the court painter, wash
iug a blackamoor white, to show the diff
iculty of her repentance. She certainly
looks as if she was not anxious either to
repent or reform, and the rouge on her
cheek is hardly the color of sincere
Magdalen. Behind is Cupid, drawing q
robe over the head of Iona little
allegory for the grand monarch-Cupid
binding the lion. The picture is finely
painted, the hands of Valliere particu
iarly, and istqual to anything by LIE
Brun now in the Louvre. 1t is
only by accident that such o pic
ture could get to this country
it being probably the only lie
LIE Brun in America. 1t is said to have
been painted for the private collection
of Louis XIV, and at the close of the
last century 1t was brought to New York
BY a French woman, who procured il
during the troubles of the revolution
She lived in obscurity, but just before
her death she sent for distinguished
lawyer, on some legal matters, who rec
ogDized the value of the picture, and OBJ
tanned its history from her. After hel
death, be bought it from the sale Of her
effects BY the public administrator. He
was a relative of the present owner
Bishop Kip. and from him it passed into
the bishops hands. An elaborate &C
count Of it was published in New York
in the Art Review of March, 1871. 1t is
the only known portrait Of La VALERIE,
and in 1865 propositions for its purchase
were made by the directors ofthe Louvre
through our minister in Paris, Mr.. Day
ton. The sudden death of Mr.. Dayton,
however, prevented any arrangement.
It is curious coincident that there
should be in this collection two pictures
which we're so much admired by the two
greatest couquerors OF France-this once
the property of Louis XIV, and Van
derlyn's Marius, which Napoleon wished
to purchase for the Lsuvre, and fol
which he gave the gold medal in prefer
ence to 1900 pictures by European
artists. -.--..-.,...-

A scandal Rafuted.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, August BE. l.,
Baker, editor of the Journal, publishes
card in his paper, replying to rumors
that his, wife is the woman who was
found in the company of Rev. G. H.
Robertson, of Louisville, in sleeping
car. Mr.. Baker says his confidence in
his wife's purity during sixteen years Of
married life prevented him from paying
any attention to the rumor at first. He
says the truth of the story is impossible,
because his wife was not in Chicago when
Robertson left for Louisville but was on
her way to Sheboygan on steamer. He
further says that Mr.. Robertson was
greatly esteemed both by himself and
wife while their pastor at Springfield
and that after she returned from her
Lake trip, having some English periodi-
Gals which she wished to mail him, she
innocently telegraphed to the post
master at Louisville asking his address.

Rohespierre and Dantop.

Emilio CASTELAR, in Harpers' Magazinel
These two men possessed very diff
ferent qualities. One was art, and the
other nature; one was chicane, and the
other thought; one was defamation,
and the other eloquence; the
one unfeeling virtue, and the other hu-
man perseverance; the one used cruelty
as a system, and the other as last re-
sort; the one was partisabship with all
its narrowpess, the other humanity with
all its vices and virtues; the one the
Machiavelism, the other the frankness
of revolution; the one was conspiracy,
and the other war; the one selfish in his
most humane impulses, the other gener-
GUS in his most abominahle crimes; the
one anxious for power and glory for him
self, the other for the grandeur 81 the
country; the one astute and calculating,
the other strong and passionate; the one
the disciple of Rosseau, as men of COM
mon talents are always disciples, the
other personal and original, as profound
talents always are. In his cold, paid,
bony countenance Robespierre revealed
the desolation of his soul; while In the
giant face, SCARED by smallpox, Danton
revealed the internal fash Of bis genius.
The head Of Danton, who was the brain
of the French Revolution, fell iRto the
basket Of the guilIotine through the i'm
placable hate Of his lifelong enemy; but
when Robespierre harassed, accused,
driyen TO the brink Of the abyss BY the
men Of Thermidor, wished TO speak to
the Convention, and they refused TO hear
him, wished to supplioate, and they
threatened him; tried to threaten, and
they laughed at him; tried TO silence
them, and they rose against him; as he
leaped from bench to bench in the hos
tile and tumultuous Convention, seeing
no place of safety, a terrible voice ut-
tered the meaning Of the whole tragedy,
"Robespierre, the blood of Danton
chokes thee hlf "a. --a.rn
Rohespierre has retained the greater
authority among the men Of revolu-

tail and passingit under and between
the legs and then pulling upon it, plac-
ing o handkerchief or cloth so as to
completely blind the eyes, but all the
modes never proved half as successful
as patient waiting It's true we have
had at times, with a newly obtained
balky horse, to wait an hour at a time,
but persisting in waiting and taking all
quiet, would after a half dozen times or
so, render the horse willing to go after
stop of three to five minutes, and in the
end the disposition to balk would only
occasionally return.
