The Initiative Faculty of Monkeys.

The initiative faculty of monkeys
seems to exceed everything short of hui
man. A sailor, having a number of
woolen caps, &C., to dispose of among
the natives, went on shore for that pur-
pose; his way to settlement lying
through a wood very plentifully in
habited by the species above mention
ed, and it being at midday, he put n
cap on his head, laying the others by
his side, and determined upon little
repose under the shade of plantain
tree. To his utter astonishment, when
he awoke, from the specimen he had
given his initiative observers of the use
of his caps, he beheld anumber of them
upon the heads of the monkeys in the
trees round him, while the wearers were
chattering in an unusual manner. Find
ing every attempt to regain them fruit
less, he at length, in a fit of rage and
disappointment, and under the suppose
tion that the one he retained was not
worth taking away, &C., pulled the same
from his head, and throwing it upon
the ground, exclaimed, "Here, confound
you take it amongst ye" which he had
no sooner done than, to his great sur
prise, the observant monkeys did the
same-by which means he regained the
greatest part of his property.

Novel Horse Pro ectOr.

It is n common thing in our cities to
protect the heads of draft horses with a
bonnet or cushion to keep off the blaze
of the sun. But Dublin protector
proposes to extend similar protection
over the entire animal. He makes a
frame of wood, whalebone, iron rods or
other flexible but strong material, and
this he places over the horse, few
inches above him, the frame being sup
ported either by attachment to the har-
ness or to the thills of the vehicle.
Upon this frame he stretches sheet OF
canvass, oiled cloth or sheet rubber,
which forms a complete pent house to
to keep off either rain or sun. The
space between the animal and the COW
ering permits free passage OF an
which aids Transportation and helps to
keep the animal cool. The principle,
MS far rs this is concerned, is similar to
that of the odd, oval shaped hats worn
by men in the East Indies from time
immemorial. These comprise a light
frame of bamboo slips encircling the
forehead and sustaining covering
lined with cork an inch above, and out
of contact with the head. The slight
rustling of the breeze through ones
hair is said to be very refreshing, and
quite possibly horse furnished with

Capt. Williams thinks the baggage of
most of the saloon passengers will be
saved, and he goes down to assist the
wreckers. He will remain here doing
what he can to aid Capt. Merritt.

Prem0nitiOns.

A Hartford man missed train the
other night, and regretfully retired to
bed. During the night he thought that
he was on the cars, and looking from
the window, he saw houses, barns, and
trees pass by in quick succession. Sud
denly there was crasL and he was ter
ribly wounded. He awoke and foundit
was dream. Morning dawned. He
arose and hurried to the cars, oppressed
with sense of something dreadful
about to occur. He took the train and
fell asleep. Suddenly he awoke, and
looking out of the window, there was
the same scene which had appeared tc
him the night before. The cars hur.
ried along at a wild rate, and he waited
for the crash. 1t did not come. The
train, as usual, arrived in safety, and the
dreamer is now aconfrmed skeptic upon
the subject of premonitions.

A Love That Fifty Years Couldn't Kill,

Mr.. William HenneSSey ana nlS Drlue,
formerly Miss Charity Prince, are the
recipients of much social attention in
st. Louis just now. Mr.. Hennessey is
so years of age, and Miss Prince fingers
on the sunny side of Is. The bride
groom until recently resided in Ken
lucky, where he owned large farm,
we'll stocked, and he is now reputed to
be worth $4,000. The bride had Sis
ter Carrie, when she first met Mr.. Hen
nessey, and to her is accorded the
honor of causing the misery and almost
death of the now happy Charity. MIR.
Hennessey first won the heart of Miss
Charity, and was devoted to her until
the green-eyed monster in the shape OF
the aforementioned sister stepped
between them. An open rupture was
the result, which finally terminated in
his leading Carrie to the altar.
William lived with Carrie, what some
people term happy life, for some fifty
years. But the grim destroyer came for
Carrie few months ago, and she passed
away. After having enjoyed for so long
the happiness of married life, single
blessedDess to William was monotonous
and dreary. The old love for Charity
revived, and to her he wrote a long let
ter, asking her to forgive and forget the
cruel part he had played. To this let
ter she replied, without delay, assuring
him that the old love for him had never
ceased to exist, and that she only waited
for him to come and make happy the
few remaining years of her existence.
The next train carried the ight-hearted
William toward Liberty, Mo. The
meeting was affecting in the extreme,
and many friends of the pair who were
present mingled tears over the happy
meeting. They were married without
delay, and after the ceremony the bride
began to weep for Joy, and kept it up
the entire day.
