European governments Of issuing bonds when
the principal is made secure and not risked

ALondon gentleman writes to Nature:
"In the recently published edition of
the Descent Of Man there is some ad.
ditional matter concerning the sense OF
humor in brutes, and as the following
illustrative cases fell under my own OBJ,
serYation, | think it worth while to men
ton them as supplementary to those ad-
duced by Mr.. Darwin.
Several years ago / used to watch
carefully the young ourarg-outang at
the Geological Gardens, and / am quite
sure that she manifested sense of the
ludicrous. One example will suffice.
Her feeding-tin was of a somewhat pecu-
liar shape, and when it was empty she
used sometimes to invert it upon her
head. The tin then presented comical
resemblance to a bonnet, and as its
wearer would generally favor the specta
tors with broad grin at the time oi
putting it on, she never failed to raise 0
laugh from them. Her success in this
respect was evidently attended with nc
small qualification on her part.

NPHIS, TENN. SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 2S, 1875.

When in good humor be had several
tricks, which / know to have been self
taught, and the sole object of which was
evidently to excite laughter. For in
stance, while lying upon one side and
violently grinning, he would hold one
leg in his mouth. Under such clreum-
stances nothing pleased him so much as
having his joke duly appreciated, while
if no notice was taken of him he would
become sulky. On the other hand, moth
ing that could happen displeased him so
much as being laughed at when he did
notintend to be ridiculous. Mr.. Darwin
says: Several observers have stated
that monkeys certainly dislike being
laughed at There can be little or no
doubt that this is true of monkeys; but
never knew Of really good case among
dogs save this one, and here the signs OF
dislike were unequivocal To give one
instance: He used to be very fond OF
catching flies upon the window panes,
and if ridiculed when unsuccessful,
was evidently much annoyed. On one
occasion, in order to see what he would
do, purposely laughed immoderately
every time he failed. 1t so happened
that he did so several times in success
sion partly, | believe in consequences
of my laughing-and eventually he be-
came so distressed that he positively
pretended to catch the fly going through
all'the appropriate actions with his lips
and tongue, and afterwards rubbing the
ground with his neck as if to kill the
victim; he then looked up at me with a
triumphant air Of success. So we'll was
the whole process simulated, that
should have been quite deceived, had
not seen that the Fly was still upon the
window Accordingly drew his atten-
tion to this fact, as well as to the absence
Of anything upon the hoor and when we
saw that his hypocrisy had been detected,
he slunk away under some furniture,
evidently very much ashamed of him

CaIifOrnians Poisoned BY Their
ROOGa


A correspondent of the 0reville Butte
county, California; Mercury makes the
horrilying assertion that the gum boots
so universally worn by the gravel miners
in California and elsewhere have latterly
been lined with green flannel, the dye of
which is arsenicated, and which has pois-
oned many persons, some fatally. The
correspondent gives specific instance
of this kind of poisoning, stating that a
Mr.. McKlary, who lives on Cane creek,
near Enterprise, had been suffering seve-
raj months from the use OF these arsenic
ated boots, and that but for a skillful
physician and attentive wife he would
have died. he further alleges that three
more cases are under treatment in this
neighborhood (south fork Feather river)
and number gone to the hospitals, try
ing to fad better care than in their lonely
cabins" This account is given of the
appearance Of the disease produced by
wearing the poisoned boots: The first
symptoms are the swelling of the lower
extremities to two or three times the
usual size, and then the flesh turns black.
The suffering of the patient is terrible,
under constant burning sensation, un-
til death relieves him" 1t is stated that
the complaint is almost universal
wherever the green lined boots have been
used, and reference is made to con-
pany Of Chinese among whom several
deaths occurred last year, then attribu-
ted to an epidemic, but now traced to the
hoots

The Rush to Kansas and Colorado

ne huSn TO kansaS and Colorado
The indications are that the rush to Kan
sas and Colorado will be greater than ever
in 1874. The shortest way to reach the far
West is through st. Louis, the great Missis-
slppi Valley City, of over 1000 inhabi-
tants, and thence west over the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, which
reaches all the great land grants in the
West, and runs six fast express trains, two
more than any other road, between the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers. This road, in
the last two years, has expended over two
million dollars, besides earnings in extraOr-
binary improvements of roadway, in relay
ing its line with the best quality of new
steel and iron rails, on broad new ties, and
in passenger equipment, having substituted
for ordinary cars new reclining chair coach
es with every appliance for comfort and
safety, being elegantly fitted with dressing
rooms, with toilet cOnveniences for ladies'
and gentlemen and families travelling with
children, free of any extra charge. Any
ticket agent selling through tickets to the
West will furnish tickets by this excellent
route through st. Louis over the St. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, the
best and shortest to Kansas Colorado, Ne
braska, California, and the Great West-it
being the only line running through cars
between st. Louis and Omaha. For map
and circulars and timetables, address either
f. A. Palmer, indianapolis, Ind, or p. B.
