Animals.

The first literary effort of Fiavius Jose
plus Cook has been made public by his old
teacher. 1t is upon the subject of the "0ld
Cow" and discusses il as follows:
'T.t::e COW is good animal. She has Two
horns and two eyes, and gives milk which is
good to eat. She has four legs. and eats
grass and hay. Some COWS are red, and they
have long tails"
There is very little to be said by @ay OF
criticism of the production, except that it
bears evidence of the writer's immaturlty
His information Is Correct, but his way OF
putting it betrays the fact that it was written
before he had become erudite and competent
to address a Boston audience acceptably.
Doubtless he meant to say that the female
of the bovine genus is benefcient mann
mai; that this ruminant quadruped is pc
sessed of corneous protuberances, projecting
from the occiput that her vision is binocu-
lar, and that she yields edible and nutrI-
tious tactical oxidation; that she is qusdru-
pedal and herbivOrous, assimilating her food
in both the succulent and exiceated state;
that some of them automatically correspond
to the seventh color of the spectrum, and
that they are endowed with caudal appen.
dages of exaggerated longitudinality.

"GRts'' ON THE ROAD.
He Makes Discovery-Bob IngersOIl's
Father.

A. Minor Griswold, of the Cincinnati Sat
urday Night who has been rusticating in this
vicinity lately, writes to his paper as
follows;
l made discovery at the little village
where have been stopping for few days
Hampton, Oneida county, New York-my
native village, in fact 1t is this: The Rev.
John Ingersoll, father of Bob Ingersoll,
preached there during Roberts youth-from
1886 to 1888 The noted infidel was five or
six years old then. The family resided in
the old parsonage, and which serves for
Presbyterian parsonage still. talked with sew
eral old residents who remembered the family
we'll. The Rev; John Ingersoll married me"
said Colonel A. Buell., land L remember
Bob like book. A wide-awake little chap
he was, too. l made his acquaintance when
he Iectured in Utica recently, and asked
him il he remembered his living in Hamp-
ton. He said he did, though not very dis
tinci1y."
The elder Ingersoll was represented as a
man OF pure outward life, not unsuccessful
as a revival preacher, but course, rough,
overbesring and sour, creating at home
peculiarly forbidding atmosphere, as con-
nected with his family and religious dis
cipline. He married his second wife about
the time he came to Hampton, Roberts
mother having died. This second wife was
said TO have been lady of culture and ex.,
him about year, and as soon after the birth
of a child as she could bear the fatigue, her
brother came for her. and carried the moth
er, child, aad her properties to her native
home
II remember" said an old lady with
whom / conversed upon the subject, las well
as though IL wss but yesterday, when her
brother came for her; and l saw him load
her things, and the lady aud child, and
driye away. And felt like going over and
giving old. John IDgersoll piece of my mind
as ever | bad to eatr'
You remember Bob too?'
It's forty years ago, but / can almost see
him now, playing in the front yard over
there. A good natured, chubby little fellow
he was, with curly hair. And when he wan
dered out of the gate into the street his
father would come to the door and cry Raw
bert"
The elder Ingersoll, besides beingof sour,
morose and most unlovely disposition at
home, is said to have been given to uncon-
tr0llable fits of anger. There is story in
Hampton to the effect that he once got mad
at his horse, and knocked him down with a
blow OF his fist upon the temple, killing the
beastinstantly. In 1858 the elder Ingersoll
removed to illinois, where he married a
third wife, widow, who also left him in less
