The president has written letter to
, Attorneys General Devens on the subjec,
OF the conviction of Anderson, one Of
! the Louisiana returning board members
The letter. while dispassionate in tone, ey.
presses regret that such proceedings
should have taken place, as apart
/ from all other considerations they
tend to disturb the Cancellation which
1t was hoped would be satisfactory to
all parties In Louisiana. The presi.
dent is evidently not pleased with
the turn affairs have taken, and 1t
, is intimated that he will use his influence
4 and position to secure Anderson's re-
: lease and prevent the conviction Of the
| other members of the board.

DO ALL ANIMALS REASON
A story which knocks Into Pieces
the Claim Of Man that he In the
Only Reasoning Animal.

only Reasoning Animal.
The distinction between reason and
instinct, those elements of the mind
which have been supposed to separate
the animal man from the brute creation.
has never been clearly explained or
proven. The following story, taken
from the GAINESVILLE. tTenn.) Tobacco
Leaf goes TO prove that mans assump>
ton TO the exclusive light TO reason is
not altogether we'll founded or suscep,
tible OF logical proof: "James Meri-
wether, son OF DR.. James Meriwether, of
Woodstock farm, has thoroughbred
pointer, which is said to be the finest dog
in this county, and no doubt is the most
Intelligent. Many little stories and In
stances Of canine sagacity could be inter.
estingly related OF this purp. One espe-
cially may be told which distinguishes
the animal as far above the ordinary brute
intelligence. DR.. Meriwether has tor
some time been partially paralyzed has
lost one hand, and has also been seriously
injured by fall. He is scarcely able to,
nor does not leave his yard without
assistance. Recently, however, one
pretty spring, like afternoon, he ventured
out alone, hob5ling on his cane to a large
field where some heavy blowing was
being done, with the dog at his heels.
Upon reaching the field the doctor seemed
to forget himself, and climbed to the top
of high fence to look over for the plow-
men, who were at the far end OF the field.
All Of a sudden his legs gave way, and
he swung over, as it were. across the
fence, and there hung, unable to extri>
cate himself. He began to cry tor help,
but no one was within hearing. The dog,
however, comprehended the situation, and
after whining uneasily, quickly ran away
at full speed to the house, where he found
Miss Harvey, q member of the family,
and catching her by the dress, he pulled
and jerked until he enlisted her atten.
ton. running short distance toward
the field whining and then back to her.
This he repeated again and again. The
lady, convinced by the remarkable con.
duct Of the dog that all was not right,
followed him; which action on her part
gave the dog infinite joy, which he ex,
hibited by running ahead of her, shows
Ing by his intelligent actions that he
wished her to travel fast. Miss Harvey
qulckened her speed, and soon reached
the spot, where she found DR.. Mer,>
wether in the position described, and
assisted him down. IL was difficult for
her to decide which Of the two was the
happier. the doctor or the dog. DR..
Merlwether resides at the Charles Meri>
wether place, Woodstock farm, lately
sold, just in Todd county. Kentucky, ten
miles from this city. and three miles from
