Z THREE LITTLE CHlLpREs BURNED 10
|DEArH. Clarksbnrg (Tenn.) letter
to the Memphis -IPDeH says: ..The
most horrible accident that has ever
been chronic]ed in the history of our
c6mnisnity occurred about three miles
from this place on Sunday evening
18th instant. The dwelling of Mr..
Tom Scott; together with his house,
hold goods and all his children, Mum
bering three, were consumed by fire.
The children we're all under FIVE years
Of age The father not being at home,
the mother had to go over to a neigh
boris house for something, distance of
two hundred yards, leaving her house
and children secure from danger, as she
thought Having had no fire since
morning, she believed it had died out ;
but such was not the case, for slie had
been gone but few minutes when it
was discovered that the house was
burning, and before any one could
reach it it was enyeloped in flames,
and all attempts, to save the children
were futile, and the mother returned
only to witness her little innocents be
ing consumed by fire that was beyond
! ali control"

''lf this rising generation of whites

A HARD CAsE.-The Postmaster at

his fathers Office, recently absconded,
being detaulter, is peculiarly an un
fortunate man. A local paper says in
regard to him:
eff there was ever an honest man up
on earth it is James L. Dunning, the
father of the unfortunate young man.
Sonic years ago Mr.. Mclaughlin, then
his money clerk, absconded, leaving a
deficit on his accounts of sevel al tthous-
and dollars. Quietly and heroically the
old man resolved himself to make good
what had been lost to the Government
by his employee. Being comparatively
poor, the Government allowed him to
commence payment Of the self imposed
debt by instruments. Since then no
man has seen James L. Dunning at any
public place of amusement; no one has
seen him spend a single dollar for any
luxury. With stern resolve to wipe
out the stain, be has taken from his sal

DEAR SIRs: During long residence

Killer, both in my own family and among
the Chinese. and have found it q most eX-
.elient medicine. III the summers of
s62 and 1868, while residing in Shanghai,

IA, if used in time. Indeed, using it III a
great many instances, do not remember
failing ID single case. For three years.l
have been residing in this place, more

been obliged often to fall upon my own
resources i'll CAGES OF sickness. The Chi

icine and advice Though without med
zeal knowledge ourselves. the few simple
remedies we can command are 80 much in

have almost daily applications. We allow

At the commencement of the disease.

Mental Constitution of Animals.

It is the impression that animals have
no conditions of mind emitting them to
our consideration. A worse mistake
never gained credence, since they GER
tainly have memory, form strong attach
ments and act in a variety of ways under
the promptings of reason, though it may
be elementary.
Dogs, by association with men, acquire
meaning of words, and may be taught
a variety of performances which demand
thought and reflection. Horses, mules
and donkeys have acquired such knowl-
edge as to act in obedience to commands
given by masters who happen to speak
two or three languages.
Dreaming is considered the unre-
strained activity of mind during sus-
pension of conscientious sleep. Do not
dogs dream and go through all motions
of pursuing game, yelping, ETC., while
reposing? They have sense, too, of
moral sentiment, for they manifest shame
when reproved for mean act, and ex-
press unbounded qualification on being
praised.
Every animal unquestionably has a
limited range of thought, and they GER
tainly communicate their intentions to
each other, as wolves on a marauding
expedition, horses on stampede, buffa-
loes on foraging journey, or birds in
all their intercourse with each other IN
reference to their enemies.
