Have Animals Souls =?

A new work has recently been
published entitled Man and Beast,
in which the author, the Rev. }. G.
Wood, seeks to show that the low
CT animals possess those mental
and moral characteristics which in
human beings are supposed to per-
tain to the soul. In support Of
this theory he narrates many sto.
ries, among them one concerning Il
duck whose mate was stolen. The
morning after her loss the duck
commenced morning for her drake,
and refused to be comiorted, but
nursed her sorrow in silence and
far away from the other ducks and
brakes. Some time elapsed but it
did not mitigate her grief. One
day very young drake, whose
duck had been killed. waddled up
to the supposed widow and sought
to console her, but she refused his
consultations. He then sought to
force them upon her, whcreupon
she made 1t 50 hot for him he skunk
away. A few days after this, the
long-lost drake was discovered and
brought back, whereupon his duck
was so overcome with joy that she
did nothing but quack for half a
day. After this periorman e, she
and the drake retired TO n sccIud-
cd spot where she informed him of
the proposals which had been made
to her by the other drake. The
result was, that they hunted hIm
up and gave him the sevorest kind
| of chastisement for his conduct.

Feeling His Wool,

AT fair the other day Johnson's
Co,swold ram did not take the prize
that was otlercred for the best an
imal of that kind. Judge Pitman
was chairman Of the committe on
rams, aud he manifested the deep
est interest in Johnson's Ram; ~.
dicating clearly that if any sheep
ought to takea prize that one ought
to. Johnson's ram was by itself in
pen with q high board fence,
and before adjudicating the prizes
the Judge thought he had better go
in and make close examination of
tho animal for the purpose of AS
certaining the fineness of its wool,
etc. AS soon as the Judge reached
the interior he walked toward the
ram, whereupon the ram began to
lower its head and to shake it
ominiously. Just as the Judge
was about to feel the fleece, the
ram lcaped forward and planted
its head in the Judges stomach,
rolling him over on the ground.
Before the Judge had time to real
izo what had happened, the ram
came at him again and began a Sc
ries of promscuous butts, each
given with the precision and force
of a pi!e-driver. He buttcd the
Judge on the back, on the arms, on
his shoulder blades, on tho bald
place on his head, on his breast, on
his shrs; it buttcd his nose, it but
ted his watch into mass of loose
cog-whcels, 1t butted his spectaclcs
off, it butted his high hat INTO black
silk chaos; t butted hin ovci in
the corner and up against the fence,
then it butted four boards out of
the fonce, butted down another of
the committee, butted three. small
boys into fits, butted the money Ia
ker at the gate, and then fled out in
the country, butting harmlcssly at
the fresh air. The Judge did not
distribute the prizes that day. When
they collected him from various
parts of the pen, they wiped the
mud from his trousers and the
blood from Ills nose, and sent hlm
home with perennial stomach
ache and determination to start
after that wandering mutton, tho
first thing in the morning with
shot gun.

Origin of Phrases.

The term mb rosa originated as
follows: Cupid gavo rose TO
Hippocratcs, and from this legend
arose the practice OF susponding a
rose over the table while eating,
when it was intended that the con
versation must be kept secret. The
explanation of the origin of "by
hook or by crook is, that in the
old time, persons entitled TO get
firewood in the kings forest wero
limited to such dead branches as
they could tear down with n "hook
or crook, without hurt to his
Majesty's tree" ain spite of his
teeth" originated thus : King John
Of England once demanded of Il
Jew the sum of ten thousand
marks, and on being refused, or
dered that the Israelte should have
one Of his teeth drawn until he gave
his consent. The Jew submitted
to the loss Of seven, and then paid
the required sum, and hence the

The Freshe, In Bioun, county.

TO the Editors Of the Chronicle
As smoke rises over the battle or
terror attended the earthquake, 30
does exaggeration follow any great
turbulence. This we have known for
long time, and had 1t in mind when
writing the report of the 18th ult., in
relation to the freshet In this county.
The mills known as the Henry Mills
on Little River, and the residence OF
John Gamble, Esq were not washed
away, neither were Jesse Donaldson
cattle drowned. We endeavored to make
allowance for exaggerated statements
made under excitement aud repeated
by eager listeners, but all newspaper
men know how difficult this is tn do.
In other things, so far as we have been
able to learn, the report was true so far
as it went. Dr. H. Sherrill's house was
washed away, and a number of house
logs, beds, etc, are being gathered up,
! from which ii seems that houses in
the coves have been carried down with
| the current.
Friday we went to Louisville to

and solemnity. The water was over
all the low grounds, and many of the
houses were hidden except the root

Quite crowd had gathered, and
while some wore troubled and anxious

4 SHORT SERMON.
RN SISTER IOHN.

late one windy afternoon, when he en-
countered a short sermon on temperance.
The air was keen and cold, with 'symp-
toms OF snow lie had pulled his cap
down over his ears aS far As possible, and
buttoned his ovcrcoat close to keep out
the singing lake wind, and was hurrying
along at pace that might rival Weston's,
when he nearly ran over little child not
more than four years old, who had fallen
on the sidewalk near him.
Heigho, SIS - he exclaimed, lifting
her safely to her feet again.
The little ragamuffin put up a very
grieved lip. and was going to cry; but
stopped when he spoke pleasantly to her.
"Whew barefoot, and such n day a
d Is with low whistle" why don t

tofs.'
" Don't dot any shoes and stotin's."

that meant of course not, and manner
indicating that she considered the reason
amply sufficient. mo. my Pa diets drunk.

The Right Kind of IL Boy.

Over fifty years ago youth, working
on a farm, asked his father to give him
money enough to buy a gun. The old
vnan could not spare it; but the boy.
nothing daunted, found an old piece OF
iron about the place. and in the course OF
time contrived to make gun barrel out
of it. with the very meager facilities al
forded BY country blacksmith's shop.
He had not the materials to make 4 lock
and stock. so he walked 10 the nearest
town and traded for the necessary attach
meuts and was encouraged by the smith
iO1 having made so good a shooter; this
rave him the ambition TO make another ;
30 he went to cutting out grnldstones
from the native rock to raise the money
for gun materials. and in a short time
there was Il considerable demand for guns
Of his make. During the French war with
Prussia he was called upon to furnish
runs for the army. and in less than eight
month, he made and delivered to the
government OF France rifles Of Il paNicu-
lar pattern. costing Sj,O0O.ODD, which
amount was duly paid. The same man
furnishes rifle, now for the United States.
South America, Rome. Spain. Egypt and
Japan.
