SagacIty OF Animals Overrated.

IT is next to impossible to shake the
public faith in the value of the Obscrva-
tons of the lower creation. We know
by experience that our barn-door fowls

case of an eclipse, yet that knowledge
does not prevent the public from as
Stunning the possession by birds of mys-
FERROUS sources of information on the
subject of the weather which are sealed
to us. Dogs are supposed to have some
intuition which warns them of ap-
preaching death, and many q heart has
been tortured by accepting as fore
warning of dissolution a dogs COM
plant against the moon for unreasOna-
bic brightness. The fact is that ami
mails in general arc far less wise than
we think, even in the matters that come
directly under their ken. Observations
of phenomena on the part of q man

ing condition upon various objects, an

wise. are far more trustworthy than
that kind Of feeling, which, like pain in
an old wound, warns birds or animals
of the approach of wet. Altogether
curious it is, indeed, to see how far an
finals arc from possessing the kind of
knowledge we are most ready to assign
them, that of things that they may cat
with impunity. Quite recently Lord
Lovelacc underwent serious loss in
consequence of herd of COWS eating
some ewe-clippings indiscreetly placed
within their reach. Cattle continually
mistake the kind of food that will suit
them, especially when they are strange
to the district in which it grows. After
a time they find its noxiOus qualities,
and are. it appears, able to transmit

Sad Romance OF o Lover.

AVERY romantic and sad case has
come under the observation of re-
porter of the Herald, of which a for
mcrly wcll-known young Utican is the
hero. During the war one of the men,
bers of one of our regiments went away
from Utica, leaving behind him an
Irish girl whom he loved very passion
ately, and they expected to be married.
While he was gone, or soon after his
return, his betrothed was taken sick
and died. This affection seems to have
turned the young mans head and has
eventually permanently affected his
mind. He was educated in our public
schools, and. we believe, graduated
from the Utica Free Academy. He
was bright, smart, quick. active, neat,
tidy and temperate in his habits, and a
favorite with all his companions. His
brother was and is now an officer of
high standing in the regular army. and
this young man so perfected himself in
his studies that he easily commanded a
position as teacher in some of the
neighbOring country towns.
Now all the young mans habits are
changed. Shortly after the death Of
his betrothed he became addicted TO
drinking. During the winter months
he controlled his appetite so that he
could retain his position as teacher,
but his employers noted that at all
times he appeared sad and melancholy.
When the school was dismissed fol
summer vacation, he returned to Utica,
but would not remain at the home OF
his friends. He drank steadily, keep
ing inebriated the majority of the time
but disturbed no one. This has beer
his career for four or five years.
This summer his case has taken :
new turn. No one could discover
where he slept at night or obtained hi
meals in the daytime. The untidy con
dition of his clothing led some of hi:
friends to believe that he had fount
rest in barn or out of doors. Recent
ly it has been discovered that he ha'
dug a grave in a secluded spot in Silver
Spring Glen. The other day partie:
wandering in the glen heard singing
aud upon quietly investigating fount
the young man sitting by the side o
the grave upon rude box, apparent,
Indifferent to all surroundings. Hymn:
were sung and prayers were said at
tentively, accompanied by sobs ant
tears. A second visit to the place
when the young man was absent dis
closed the fact that the box used as ,
seat was of matched boards and con
structcd in the form of rude coffin
just large enough to receive the bod,
of the young man. TWAS lowered int.
the pit or grave and covered will
grass and underbrush. The youn.
man now makes this spot his retrea
the greater portion of the time. PEG
pie pass and repass him at frequent in
tervals, but he pays no attention t.
them. The death of his bctrothed ha
robbed him of his brain, and he find
no happiness except in solitude. Sui
eide or dangerous insanity will proba
bly, follow.
The case is one of peculiar sadness t
those who knew the victim when he wa
in his prime.-Utica IN. W Herald.

Old Drinking Cups and Customs.

Drinking from the same cup by sew
eral individuals is an old custom which
is still kept alive in Italy and in all
parts of Germany, and is not unknown
in England among those classes who
are lovers of malt liquor and drink it
sfrom the pewter" When friend
meets another in a coffee-house or tav-
ern, the one who has already ordered
SON. ething does not issue second order
for his friend, but holds out the YES
sci for the newcomer. The German
krmg and the English pewter mug still
show the popular feeling in favor of
one large vessel for friendly party.
The formula of Saxon politeness which
consisted in two drinkers employing
the same vessel is we'll known. The
first wLo drank said IVES he'll Here's
health to yoD, and the one who re-
ceived the goblet, before emptying it,
said Drink he'll q drink your healthy.
From the " Roman de Rou," it appears
that this was customary among the En-
glish as late as the twelfth century.
There were hanaps mounted on one
foot, in the form of a chalice, others
were mounted on three feet, and others
still were made in the form of bowl
or cup. Some were made with covers,
others without, and the materials en-
ployed in their construction were as va
ried as their shapes. The hanap was
particularly used by persons OF high
social position; the tankard. with ham
die, being the more popular vessel.
And such was the tear of poison in the
Middle Ages, that great parsonage
was served from hanap with cover
which could be used as q vessel, from
which cover the servant drank little of
the liquor, which he poured from the
goblet for that purpose. These pre-.
cautions clearly proved insufficient, and
preservatives against poisoning were
sought after under the most absurd
prejudices. The fabulous animal
known as the unicorn or ltc0Tse was
thought to be the enemy of everything
impure. People fancied that by caus-
ing their beverages to be served them
in vases made of the horn of the magi-
cal beast, they could easily detect the
presence of poison in their drink.
Handles were made, as they thought,
of this material for knives; for it was
said that blood would exude from horn
and bone of the licorne, when> brought
in contact with poisoned meats. The
long sword of the narwhal, when
brought to Europe, was thought to be
the horn of the unicorn; and it isproba-
BILE that fossil ivory of many kinds was
also sold under the same name. Well
appointed houses possessed q large
number of hanaps. The inventory, en-
crossed in 1880, of the household of
Charles v. of France, surnamed the Wise,
describes four gold hanaps and as many
ewers, weighing in all nearly ninety

things easy, so long as we must suffer
annoyances in this breathing world,
saying as little as possible shout them,
and making no parade of our martyr
dom. If making fuss and rendering
every one else about us uncomfortable
in any way abated the ills that flesh
and spirit are heir to, there would be
some slight excuse for the folly and
selfishness; but since we cannot escape
tribulations of one kind or another,
fretting only aggravates them. Either
let us be silent and endure, or take
arms against our woes, and by con-

annoyance, agues of anxiety, physical

his grievances into the ears of every
listener, is often spoken of as of fiber
too coarse to feel acutely and suffer
keenly. "It is his temperament" we
are told. HE takes nothing to heart"
