Breach of promise cases are fairly
kaleidoscope in their variety, and here is
one from the Norwich assizes, in England,
which is notable for its novelty. A ship
captain put into Yarmouth for repairs,
and landed just in time to see fight,
During the progress of the fracas he ex-
pressed an opinion as to its merits, which
was echoed by girl at his side. Turning
to her instantly, he asked if she was en-
gagged, and when she replied in the mega.
tive, he proposed at once and was accepted
Subsequently he called upon the girls
mother and secured her consent, when he
started for South Shields to prepare for
the wedding. There his friends reminded
him of the the trifing circumstance that
he was already married, and would not
let him return TO execute his rash and
bigamous purpose, but instead sent a
message to the girl at Yarmouth that he
was dead. The bereaved female thsught
it only proper that she should attend the
funeral, and accordingly proceeded to
South Shields. Finding him alive, she
brought suit for her disappointment, and
the jury gave her verdict of $500. This
suggests, among other things, whether
a married man may be mulcted for failing
to keep a promise to commit bigamy.

Animals not Governed Solely BY
Instinct.

What is instinct? Il is "ihe faculty
Of performing complete acts, absolutely
without instruction or previously-aquired
knowledge" Instinct, then would ens.
bic auimals TO perform spontaneously acts
which. 10 the case Of man, presuppose ra-
tiocination, logical train Of thought.
But, when We test the observed facts
which are usually put forward to prove
the power Of instinct, ii is found that
they are seldom conclusive. 1t was on
such grounds that the song Of birds was
taken 10 be innate, albeit very ready
experiment would have shown that it
comes from the education they receive.
During the last century Darlington brought
up some linnets, taken from the nest, in
company with larks Of sundry varieties,
aud found that every one of his linnets
adopted completely the song of his master
set over him, so that these linnets-larks
by naturalization--formed a company
apart when placed among birds of their
own species. Even the nightingale, whose
native songis so sweet, exhibits, under
dOmestication, considerable readiness to
initiate other smging-birds. The song of
birds is, therefore, determined by its edu-
cation, and the same thing must be true
as to ncst-building. A bird brought up
in cage does not construct the nest Of
its peculiar species. In vain will you supply
all the materials; the bird will employ
them without skill, and will oftentimes
even renouncc all purpose of building any
thing like nest. Does not this WE'LL
known fact prove that, instead of being
guided by instinct, the bird learns how
to construct lis nest, just as man learns
how to build house ?''-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

Tn the Arkansas Valley.

The writer had the good fortune last
February, to be one Of small party who
started one bright morning from the pleas
ant city of Topeka, for another little city,
in Colorado, called Pueblo; our route
being nearly all the way through the Ar
kansas Valley, Of which we had heard
great deal.
From Topeka, our route lay by rail to
the West Line ofthc State, over the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad.
From there we took team, and travelled
onward through the Valley, passing
through Las Animas Opposite Fort Lyon,
to Pueblo, the Southern terminus of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railway. A glance
at map will show that We thus travelled
through the Arkansas Valley from Hutch
lnson to Pueblo, about four hundred miles
We did it all by daylight, and there were
a thousand things we saw, well worth
telling, as practical promises Of great
and prosperous future for that country,
but the purpose Of this article is merely
to engage your attention on the facts con-
nected with a couple Of large stock farms
visited, situated three miles west of Las
Auimas, and sixty miles west Of the ter
minus of the Railroad.
As perhaps you know, the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad built three
hundred and sixty-one miles Of their line,
last year, and through perfectly new
country, and did not finish building until
December as consequence, everything
is almost in a state of nature, west Of
Great Bend, the Railroad having been
built too rapidly Tor the quick strides OF
civilization and settlement to keep pace
with it. The country, however, is by no
means without its signs of life, for on our
journey oil through the Valley we passed
herds Of cattle, almost countless in nun,
Der, feeding on the upland praries and in
the valleys, apparently without any care
or watching, and certainly without shelter,
or other food than afforded by the native
grasses. They were all in excellent GEN.
dition, ard this too, in the depth of win
ter.
After leaving the Railroad at Sargent
Station, we drove for sixty miles, to Las
Apimas, passing again through vast herds
of thriving cattle, the mules occasionally
'shying" at the carcasses of dead buffalo
that cover the ground all through this val
ley

Think for a moment of that funeral
pile in India where heathenism claimed
the sacrifice Of eleven living wives in
honor Of dead husband. Imagine the
horror of such scene, the cruelty Of re-
atives even who urge the sacrifice, the din
Of musical instruments, the wild shricks
Of agony and despair that go up with the
leaping flames and black curling smoke,
and then turh your thoughts to the kind
and loving husband who stands on the
deck of tbs Nile boat. In the one case,
it is The father and in the other, it is
the son. In the one, it is hcathcnism
in the other, it is Christianity. They are
only generation apart and the magic
power which has wrought the great change
in so short period is the simple word of
God, taught to little hoy in India and a

Divide ct Impera.
now DOES A LIGHT ENGINE DRAW A HEAVY
TRAIN?

now DOES LIGHT ENGINE DRAW HEAVY
TRAIN?
The first locomotive was patented twen-
ty years ago. Drawing only one car, if
lightly loaded, it did very well T; but, when
the load it drew was heavier than its own
weight, its wheels would not Jite-that is,
they would turn round and round without
advancing. Hence COW catcher was
needed behind 10 guard against cattle run
ming in:o it is the rear. 1t seemed, at
first, impossible to make a less weight
move greater on an up grade and, for
81 years afterward, no one invented an
engine able TO draw three times its own
weight. At the present day, however,
locomotives sweep along with trains more
ponderous by l5 or 20 times than they
aye themselves. One means of gaining
this vast increase Of power for the loco
motive, was by dividing the load. 1t
was found, that an engine powerless to
stir five times its own weight Of freight
when concentrated in one car, could read
lily draw it When distributed in a dozen
cars loosely shackied together. 1t was
heavier than each single car; and 1t had
overcome the inertia of each one, mo-
ment before it encountered the inertia of
another 1t was thus more than match
for, each car taken singly; and, pulling
them successfully, it drew after it train
as long as comet, and the farther it ran
the more strength it had to run further
Here was the story of little David over
again. Ordinarily the stripling's weight,
as he told Goliath, was one hundred aud
twenty, but whenever he got mad he
ceighed a ton, Moreover, the engine
forced the momentum required BY every
car 1t had started, to swell its own poten-
cy in overcoming the resistance of all
that remained still motionless.
"This railroad achievement (making a
light engine draw a heavy trair,) if not
SO common, would seem miraculous; and
it is analogous to an expodient for secur-
ing farm which is equally simple and
equ lily efficacious. 1t is this:-'Divide

WASHINGTON AT VALLEY FORGE.

0 NOBLE heart that ne'er from duty sweryed I,
Nor thought of self through all the weary
hours
0 noble life! that did for others live,
And for our nation gave its wondrous powers!
There were dark days, when clouds the sunshine
hid,
And laid upon that heart a load Of care;
But yet unshaken through the storm it stood,
Nor bowed itself Save for new strength-in
prayer!
And there were days of toil-of weary march
Through winter snow and slCct, when hearts,
though sad,
Pressed on, cheered by the voice of him who led
The noblest chief that ever soldier had
When destitution came upon them all,
And with it nurnurs of their sore distress,
All! then he lent his strength their own to aid
Nor failed in ausht of brothers tenderness.
o days LOT past! that held his glorious life!
We hold with joy the precious legacy
OF his great name the name Of Washington!
And by each tongue that name must honered
be;
And as through clouds of sorrow and dismAy
Men looked to him as to their guiding star,
So we within our hearts in memory hold,
Nor with di2loyal breath its brightness mar!

Why MEN Go WEsT.-In 1860, James
Jones, came from st. Joe county Michi-
gau, to Mills county, Iowa. He was then
twenty-five years of age, and worth about
$500 in stock and money. The first year
he rented land, and spent the next three
years in the army. After his return be
bought eighty acres at So l24 per acre,
which he sold four years afterward for
$40 per acre. Meantime he bought 800
acres fprarie on which he now lives.
His main crop has been corn,-which he
has for the most part fed ON his farm to
hogs and cattle, selling very little. He
gets cheap freight by pouring corn into
condensing bags Of hogskin and cow-hide,
which he finds hold ten times more than
any canvas bags Of the same size.

One of the largest Sabbath school pic
mics that could be found anywhere within
the bounds of the Presby terian Church,
might be gotten up by the'childrcn and
youth connected with our Mission Schools
in India. Poobably few Of you are aware
that We have under construction in that
land, nearly six thousand, and that all the
different Mission Societies there are at
work have about one hundred and twenty
FIVE thousand. A part of these thousands
are in Boarding Schools, where some are
preparing to become preachers, others
teachers, hospital nurses, Bible readers,
etc. Others failing to become Christians,
engage in secular business. Many CT our
Sabbath schools at home are supporting
boys or girls in the schools of India, and
perhaps they would like to know what are
the fruits of such assistance. of course the
results are much greater in some cases
than in others, But would like to tell
you story in which truth is stranger
than fiction, and showing what came of
the instruction given to young Indian
Prince.
in 1889 the Marharajah Of Punjaub, in
Northern India, died, and according to
the cruel customs Of the country, eleven
of his ives, some who were young girle
of fifteen, were burned alive on his funeral
pile. They were marched to the fatal
spot in procession and placed with the
corpse on pile Of sandal wood. They
were then thickly covered with jungle
grass saturated with oil and the whole
mass was consumed. The heir to the
throne, Dulcep Singh, was then boy
four years old.
