Intelligence Of the Horse.

lN a recent Tribune appears q clipping
from the TuIJ, Fis,d and Farm giving an
account Of a party of Surveyors Saved
by Horse" As an evidence that such
intelligence is by no means confined 20
the Indian ponies" the following will
be interesting to lovers Of that noble
beast in general:
In the fall Of 1861 We were campaign
ing in Southwestern Missouri; and on a
very cold evening it became my duty TO
relieve the chain of pickets in our front
| started from camp with about seventy
mounted men about an hour before dark i;
made my circuit, dropping the new men
and taking up the old; and when all had
been relieved il had become quite dnrk
and a slight snow began to tall and the
wind 10 increase in force.
We were now about mile and a half
from camp if We were to follow the
picket-line till We struck the road, but in
a direct line not more than half TO three
quarters Of mile; and wishing TO get
into quarters before the storm became
severe concluded to take a short cut for
hOme-which, like many an attempted
short cut, proved very long one; for
after riding long enough 10 have gone
several times the distance it became ap-
parent that We did not know where We
were, and | was forced to acknowledge
that | was not very good leader
In turn, several of my men, who
thought they could do better, tried TO
lead US; but all to no purpose Ii was
now nearly eleven o'clock, showing and
blowing 3 gale, with a fair prospect of
our having to remain out all night.
had noticed an unusual frctfulness and
indisposition to submit TO my guidance
on the part of my mare; and il flashed
upon nv mind like an inspiration: Per
haps she can take US to Campi We had
dismGunted in a small ravine and built a
fire. | gave the order to mount and told
the boys that was going to try BctseY
and see if she did not know more than
all of us. We moved out of the ravine,
and after getting well out on the prairie
gave her the rein. As soon as she real
lied her freedom | found her bearing off
TO the left, and in about ten or fifteen
minutes We saw a fire which, on nearing
il, proved 10 be the one we had Just left
She showed no inclination TO go into the
rayine but sksted along the edge until
she reached Il narrow point. This she
leaped and soon struck into brisk trot 4:
and in twenty minutes more we were
safe in camp, much 10 the Joy Of all, for it
was feared that we had been bushed.
On several occasions subsequently
tested Betsey's intelligence and always
with the best Of results. Once, having
returned at evening from a long scout,
found camp had been moved and l could
get information only as 10 the direction
the regiment had taken After about
three hours brisk ride Betsey brought
me not only TO camp but to nv own
company, and never stopped till she
stood in front of my tent.-COr- Chicago

lnSect-Catching Plants.

TIE interesting facts lately asccr-
tanned with respect to the habits Of in
sect-eating plants have induced among
naturalsIs a closer examination of kin
dred tendencies wherein their existence
has been limited in the construction or
the circumstances of any species of the
vegetable kingdom At the December
meeting of the St Louis Academy, Prof.
Riley, State EntOmologist, exhibited
some flowers Of the PigsiaHtbuS HLbrHS,
a species of the AscIepidacer or milk
weeds, which had captured q number of
sphinx-mothS (DiflspLiLl Iig5Hla) 10y their
tongues. In this plant, as in many of the
ASclepidaCcaS, the stigma is CuriOusly
rcHcXcd and cleft. Thus when insects
thrust their tongues into the flowers in
search Of honey it often happens that the
intruding member penctrateS one Of
these Clcfts, and its owner finds il i'm
possible to draw it out again. In short,
he Is caught in a trap, and must depart
leaving his tongue, that essential organ
of his existence, behind him or stay with
il and perish. Either way it seems
death 10 the hapless prisoner In q large
number of cases Mr. Riley found that
insects chose 10 wrench themselves
away, leaving the tips Of their tongues
laden with their spoil of pollen in the
miserable jaws or cIefts of the stiCmaS.
These torn and broken limbs remaining
in the teeth of the flowers furnish quite
as convincing evidence Of their murder
Gus intentions as would the presence Of
the entire bodies of their captivcS The
Question nON remaining for naturalist-
20 solve is, How do the insects caught by
the ASclepidaccas, or milk weeds, inure to
the benefits of the plants: In Europe il
has been discovered that the common
olcander catches insects in the same
manner. What purpose in the economy
OF the plant do these captures serve?
That is the query next in order-Chicag0

BLIND ToM.-The wonderful negro
boy pianist, Blind Tom, will give one
of his inimitable concerts in Turner Hall
next Wednesday evening, the 28th inst.
This prodigy, the son of ordinary
southern field hands, untutored and
sightless from birth, is presented as
surprising everything hitherto knowni in
the world as musical phenomenon.
There is no Art about him. God has
given him guide, but it is silent one
that of Nature herself. Unlike the
Great Masters of the day, whose manipu-
lations result from deep and unwearied
study, his instruction comes from a
higher power, and this philosophers are
pleased to term genius, which enables
him, without knowledge of either Ian
guage to sing In German, French and
English, and without understanding
single rudiment of written music to
compose gems of rare artistic ability and
to perform the most difficult operate
pieces, not only brilliantly and beaui-
fully but with all the correctness, purity
of expression, skill and excellence of the
most distinguished artist. Reserved
seats can be secured at Klingbeil's.
There viii be a rush for them, and we
advise our readers to secure theirs early.
