Do Horses Reason.

IT would be difficult to convince
some people that horses and dogs are
possessed of reasoning powers, and
as difficult to convince others who
fOndly love these animals that they are
unable to reason from cause to effect.
A story comes to us well vouched for
which will at least interest the reader
if not convince him that horses are pos
sessed of more of the human attri-
butes than many people are wont to
credit them with.
Among the many horses owned by
the Highland Street Railroad Company
is one which used to give the hostlers
a deal of trouble by slipping his halter
and roaming at will about the stable.
The halter was on each occasion
buckled on as tightly as possible, but
to no purpose, for the horse would in
variably be found half an hour after
ward making dignifed tour of the
stable. This became monotonous to
the hOstler, and he determined to as
certain the modats operandj by which
his equine friend secured his liberty.
Again the halter was tightly buckled
on, and taking seat where he could
watch his troublesome charge he
awaited developments. Pretty soon
a horse which stood beside the trouble
some one was observed to poke his
nose into his neighbours stall, and
catching the end of the halter-strap
between his teeth he pulled at it. His
first, second, and third attempts to I'M
loose the buckle were unavailing, but
with a perseverance remarkable even
in man, the horse returned to his work
and finally out dropped the
buckle-tongue, the throat-strap fell, and
the horse of inquisitive mind was soon
stalking about the stable again. A
change of location was of course a ne
cessity.
A large, homely, piebald gelding,
owned by this company, used to mani
fest strange regard for white mare
he formerly worked beside. In the
stable he was hitched with a rope
halter, and until a chain was substi-
tuted he used to gnaw off his halter,
march deliberately to the stall occu-
pied by his mate, and squeeze himself
into the same stall, which was only
large enough to accommodate one
horse comfortably, and a good deal of
effort was required to separate the
equines after they had become wedged
in SO closely Boston Journal.

Came to bless q heart like mine,
Make my spirit now Thy shrine

Oft forgetting Thou art nigh;
Hear my prayer and swift reply

The Indians and their Empress

Mr. Disrselis leading argument in tbs
| debate OF the royal titles bill was the
plea that the measure would satisfy an
earnest demand on the part of the In,
dian princes to have Queen Victoria as.
sumo an imperial rank. 1t seems, how.
ever, that the plea was not tue as 8
matter Of fact, and that the Indians, in
stead OF being pleased, are quite indig-
nant. One of the native journals Of Cal
cntta says:
"The efforts made to constitute hel
majesty the empress OF India legally as
| well as virtually are likely to exert an
influence fatal to the dignity and inde-
pendence OF the nstive feudstories Of the
empire, who, up to this moment, have
been treated as the allies and supporters
OF the paramount power. 1t is true that
treaty. stipulatiOns into which the Brit
ish government have entered still re-
tain their force and obligation, but the
contemplated elevation Of her majesty
the oueen in 8 formal manner to the
rank of supreme ruler in these realms
must materially impair the dignity and
prestige of the so-called allies Of the
dominant power"
Another Indian journal, printed in the
vernsculsT, says:
uWith the assumption OF new title,
her majesty, we cannot help thinking,
incurs new obligations toward the peo-
pIe of India. Nothing has hitherto
trenspired to indicate that Queen Victo.
ria has Just sense Of the responsibilities
She takes upon herself by this enlarge
ment OF her privileges. Fhe adoption of
the measure now before the British legis-
Iature will result in the absorption OF
this vast continent into the unity of the
British empire. Are its deniZens likely
to acquire new privileges by this change
in their relations with England. If they
have been placed on q footing Of equal
ity with EDglishmen as to their civil
ard political rights, what is there in the
institutions of this country to demon
strate that these rights are duly appreci-
ated and recognized? 1t must be sd-
mitted that up to this hour nothing sub
etantial has been done to enable India
to send representatives to the British
parIiament, or in default OF this, to en-
bower her to constitute parliament OF
her own.n
The Indian princes may possibly join,
ere long, in presenting to the imperial
government the demand which ia hint.

many Of them are in position to EN-
phasIza such q demand. The recent
