CuriOsities of Animal Life.

There can be no doubt that dogs feel shame
as distinct from and something very like mod
esty, when begging too often for food. A
great dog scorns the snarling of little dog,
and this may be called magnanimity All an
imals feel wonder and many exhibit curiosity,
the latter quality afording opportunity for
hunters in many parts of the world, to decoy
the game into their power. The faculty of
imitation, so strongly developed in man,
especially in a barbarous state, is present In
monkeys. A certain bull-terrier of our
acquaintance, when he wishes to 60 out of the
room, Jumps at the handle of the door, and
grasps it with his paws, although he cannot
himself turn the handle. Parrots also repro
duce with wonderful fidelity the tones of voice
of different speakers, and puppies 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 i'm
possibed to deny that the dreams of dogs and
horses show the presence OF Imagination, 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 DID, 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 chimpanzee uses stone
to crack nut resembling q walnut and the
Abyssinian balloons fight troops of other
species, and roll down stones in the attack
before they finally close in the hand-to-hand
encounter. The idea of propriety is common
also to every dog with a bone, to all birds with
their nests, and notably in the case of rocks;
Ncr can a certain kind of language be denied
to the brutes. The dog communicates his
feeling by barks of different tones. which un-
doubtedly raise in his tellow-dogs ideas similar
to those passing in his own mnd.-Ea'n6urg

War and Insurance.

Many thousands of dollars were invested by
Southern men in insurance policies of Northern
companies prior to 1861. The question of the
effect of the late war upon these policies has
never been dfinitely settled by the courts. 1t
has arisen several times, and the inferior
United States Courts, before which the cases
came, have decided in different instances in
a different way Two such conflicting decisions
we're brought before the Supreme Court of the
United States, before the appointment of Chief
Justice Waite, and the associate justices were
equally divided upon the question of whether
the policies were abrogated by the continuance
of hostlites between the sections. The Spring
field Union mentions that there is a test case
before the court of last resort in Cincinnati in
volving this principle. The suit is brought
against the Charter Oak Life Insurance Compa-
ny, of Hartford, to recover 81 900 for the death
of Lewis Worthington, ofGreenvile, S. c., who
took out his policy in January, 1854, and paid
his premiums promptly to the agency in
Hartford up to 1861 when intercourse between
the North and South was arrested by the
war In 1865 Worthington rendered the pre-
miums for the intervening years, but the COM
pany declined to receive them. 1t now resists
the claim OF his widow on the two-fold ground
that the non-payment of the premiums from
1861 to 1865 vi:ated the policy, and that the
civil war, under which all commercial inter
course between South Carolina and Connect-
cut was prohibited, dissolved the contract be-
tween the insurer and insured. The result
will be important as establishing principle
for the determination of number of similar
cases. On the legal maxim that no man should
be required to do an impossible thing, it would
seem that the failure to pay the premiums at
the time specified in the contract, because OF
non-intercourse growing out of state OF war,
ought to be cured by a prompt tender of pay
mcnt as soon as intercourse may lawfully be
had between debtor and creditor

COMFORTS AND LUXURIEs OF THE FARM.
There is class of farmers who are living
only to grasp more acres. Their farms can
never be large enough, nor can their workmen
or themselves ever do quite enough work.
They can not be satisfied with the income of
farm nor could they be with that of any other
business. But those who understand that the
highest object of labor is not simply to make
money, but to provide the largest amount of
the means of improvement and innocent en-
ioyment that the world affords, can make the
pursuit of agriculture furnish more iu1uries
that really contribute to our we'll being, than
any other employment requiring all equal
amount of capital. Their farms are not so
large as to make slaves of themselves and their
sons, and their wives and daughters arc not
worn out with incessant drudgery. Their door
yards blossom with flowers, their tables are
Supplied with many varieties of we'll grown
delicious fruit, their houses are made cheerful
by the influence of books and music, and a
taste for the pure and innocent enjoyments of
life is developed in their children. Here and
there a farmers home exemplities all the con-
tentment and happiness possible to race
doomed to labor and disappointment.-Frac-
tical Farmer.

COMPLIMENT TO SOUTHERN POLITICIANS.
The New York Epening Post, always de-
cded anti-slavery journal, and one of the lead
ers in the Republican party, pays the following
compliment to the Southern politicians of
ante JelIum times, which furnishes strong
contrast to the class of men who have been
prominent in the politics of the North, saying !:
"Personal corruption was never the fault OF
Southern politicians. We doubt if they arc
quite so pure now as in the days before carpet
baggers had taught them such hard lessons.
But should o reasonable number Of them have
preserved themselves from that moral degene-
racy which the spectacle Of crime is apt to in
duce, there will be plenty of room and work
for them in their old places. Political life in
in the South was always in the hands of the
best men. The mere fact that Southern
men were charged with one heinous sin,
and that they we're trying to convince the
world and themselves that they were innocent,
seemed to provoke them to the practice of vir-
tues from which many persons tho paid their
laborers by the day felt themselves excused.
What we want now is just the sort of virtue
they had then. In period when the public
respect for law needs invigoration, we want
men who, like Mr.. Lamar, have its instincts
and traditions by heart. In time when
notions of public and private duty have be-
come sadly blunt and confused, we cannot
dispense with any politician who has sharp
IDEAS of the limits of good conduct

IMPORTANT HOMESTEAD DEC1sION.-Ihe
Supreme Court of this State has made an i'm
portant decision on the homestead law, which
is of great importance to every family in the
State Itinvolves the setting aside of the home
stead act of 1869, so far as that act makes the
homestead subject of execution and sale by
creditors of the deceased "head of the family"
when the youngest child comes of age. Judge
Mackey, who rendered the decision in the court
below from which the appeal was taken, held
that the citizen takes the homestead exemption,
not as an individual, but in his representative
character as the "head of family" In 9TH
er words, that the "head of family" is, with
in the intent and meaning of the constitution,
simply the trustee and the family the cestui qMi
trust-that as the individual is the unit of the
family so the family is the unit of the State, and
the prime purpose of the homestead clause in
the constitution is to secure "local habitation"
for the family. Hence, to deprive the family
of the homestead on the decease of its natural
protector violates the reason Of the constitu-
tional provision, and that, too, when the fam
ilv most needs its sheltering protection. Judge
Mackey further held that the term exempt"
in the constitution, as applied to the home
stead reservation, means in law, as in its ety.
mology, cutting off or perpetual reservation
of the homestead execution and sale for debt.
The homestead, moreover, being in the nature
of a grant, Judge Mackey held that the con-
struction, which gives the largest privileges to
the grantee, must be regarded as the true con-
struction whenever doubt arises in the case
from the terms of the statute. This is the gist
of the opinion of Judge Mackey, which has
been sustained by the unanimous voice of the
Supreme Court.

VOLUME X.---NO. 12.
Ludicrous Scene in Church.

AS an evidence of how some Christians hate
one another, a South German paper relates the
following tough story:
In Bavarian town of the most pronounced
Catholic orthodoxy, the priest preached lately
against the Old Catholics, and related such
horrible things about them that his pious hear
ers were literally horror-stricken at the Old
Catholic impieties. At last the preacher cried
out, 'The Old Catholics are so vile that they
will all be cast into the pit and if what [ tell
you is not true may the devil take me now on
the spotw His excitement was terrible, and
he so struck the cushion that the book fell from
it. Not far from the pulpit there sat an Amer
ican, who had negro servant with him, to
whom he beckoned to take the book up to the
priest, who, perhaps, had never seen one of
those sons of Ham in his life. The negro at
once obeyed, and as he mounted the lowest of
the pulpit steps the clergyman, repeated the wish
that the devil might come and take him if what
he had said against the Old Catholics was not
true. Although the negro went softly, the
preacher heard his footsteps, and, turning
round saw black object solemnly, steadily,
and surely approaching him. Ke looked at him
with terror, and believing that he would the
next instant be collared by his Satanic majesty,
he cried out with trembling voice, ut is, after
all, possible that there may be good people
among the Old Catholics" Turning then
round to see if the object had disappeared, he
saw it still steadily approaching The perspi-
ration burst out on his brow, and full of despair
he called out, "There are even many good peo-
pie among the Old Catholics !" Thinking
that this would suffice, he turned round, but
what was his horror to find that the object was
close at hand Imagining himself in the very
grasp of Beezebub, turning partly to the negro
and partly to the congregation, he cried out,
"May the devil come and take me if all the
Old Catholics are not better than we are"
The terrified priest tainted from the fright and
it was only after some tirne that he recovered.
