The Fox as a ReasOner.

For some good instances of reasoning in
animals 1 am also indebted to DIR. Rae. De-
string to obtain some Arctic foxes, he set
various kinds of traps; but, as the foxes
knew these traps from previous experience,
ne was unsuccessful. Accordingly he set a
kind of trap with which the foxes in that
part of the country are not acquainted.
This consisted of loaded gun set upon q
stand pointing at the bait, so that when the
fox seized the bait he discharged the gun
and thus committed suicide. In this
arrangement the gun was separated
from the bait by distance of about twenty
yards, and the string which connected the
trigger with the bait was concealed through
out nearly its whole distance in the snow
The gun trap thus set was successful in kill
ing one fox. but not in killing a second; for
the foxes afterward adopted either OF two
devices whereby to secure the bait without
injury to themselves. One of these devices
was to bite through the string at the ex posed
part near the trigger, and the other device
was to burrow up to the bait through the snow
at right angles to the line of fire, so that, al
though in this way they discharged the gun,
they escaped without injury, the bait being
pulled below the line of fire before the string
was drawn sufficiently tight TO discharge the
gun. Now both of these devices exhibited q
wonderful degree of what think must fair
ly be called power of reasoning. 1 have
carefully interrogated DR.. Rae on all the cir
cumstances Of the case, and he tells me that
in that part of the world traps are never set
with strings, 20 that there can have

Writing PAPER.

OF the several kinds of paper used at diff
ferent times for writing. and manufactured
from various materials, the Egyptian is I'M
questionably the most ancient The exact
date OF its discovery is unknown; but, ac-
cording to Isadore, il was frst made at Mem
phis; and, according to others, in Side or
Upper Egypt. 1t was manufactured from
the inner films of the papyrus or biblos. u
sort of flag or buirush growing In the marsh
es in Egypt. The outer skin being taken off
there are next several films or inner skins
one within another. These, when separated
from the stalks, were laid on a table and
moistened with the glutinous waters of the
Nile. They were afterwards pressed togeth-
er and dried in the sun. From this papy-
rus il is that what we now make use
of to write upon, hath also the
name OF papyr. or paper, though OF quite
another nature from the ancient pspyrus
Bruce, the well known Abyssinian traveller,
had in his possession a large and very per-
feet manuscript on papyrus, which had been
dug up at Thebes, and which he believed to
be the only perfect one known. Pliny says
that the books made OF papyrus were
usually rolled up; and that every such roll
consisted of an indefinite number of sheets.
which were fastened together by glue, care
being taken always TO place the best sheet OF
papyrus first, that which was next in supri
ority second and so in gradstIon to the last,
which was the worst sheet in the roll. This
practice is confirmed by the Egyptian man
uscript taken from a mummy at Theoes, and
preserved in the British museum.
Manuscripts of this kind are by far the
most ancient that have reached our times.

MEMORY's ANGELS.

When the crystal heights Of silence
Are with starry splendorS crowned,
And the night, stupendous shadow,
Wraps the dreaming world around,
Thro' the purple gates of twilight,
Flushed with sunsets dying glow,
In the days departing footsteps
Silent angels come and go!
Unforgotten deeds of kindness,
GenJle words that lightened care,
Clasping hands and CHEEKY greetings
That have Olest us unaware;
Hopes, who's RAINBOW light of promise
From unclouded ether shed,
Arched our morning dreams with splendor
In the spring times that are dead!
Love, that lured us with the vision
OF nobler life than this,
Where the souls incarnate ideal
Dwelt in A potheosis;
Faiths-long canceled-that were plighted
To the friends OF former years,
Touched the sealed springs of feeling,
And unlocked the fount of tears!
In the silence palpitating
With the sense of unseen things,
We can feel their phantom touches
Hear the measured sweep of wings
Catch the fieeting. shadowy fragrance
OF unearthly roses, shed
By the fair, unfading garlands
Wreathed about each shining head.
In our souls some sleeping sorrow
Wakes to throobing life again;
SmC uldering griefs to keener passion
Leap beneath their touch of pam;
Lost delightS-unstable pleasures
Dreams that died and made no sign
Shadowy ghosts of joys departed,
Our departing hearts divine.
Now they feel the fruitless longing
OF unsleeptDg me mory
For the loved yet vanished faces
We no more on earth shall see;
Or, with tender hands they lead us
Back by pleasant paths of yore,
To the lowly, grass grown thresholds
Weary feeL shall pass no more!

inaugurated a system Of selling his

this effectually be advertised exten-

him in earnest in his warfare on high

below what they had been in the hab-
IL OF paying, the good news of Lett's
goods and Let's prices spread from
neighb hbOr TO neighbor, and from
neighbornoOd to neighborhood, as a
truth verified, and his store was
thrOnged daily with cash customers
not only of this but from adjacent

The old settlers OF this county
completed their organization on Sat

The principal object Of the association
is historical. AIl-males and females
who have been in the Territory or

mission as State. The annual meet
ing was fixed on the anniversary OF
the extinguishment OF Indian title to

portant historical data becomes i'm
pressed and familiarized-
As 1t costs nothing to become mem

enroll their names. This can be done
by personal application to the Secre-

It is also hoped there will be full
attendance at the annual meeting on
