she never moved in the stall without
looking round to see where the f0al
was. and she never trod upon it or injured
it in any way. You see that reason die. mot
teach her that she was killing her first foal;
her care for the second was the result OF
memory, imagination and thought after the
foal was dead and before the next one was
born. The only difference that can see be-
tween the reasoning power of men and
animals is that the latter is applied only to
the very limited sphere of providing for
their bodily wants, whereas that Of men en-
braces a vast amount of other objects besides
this The above limitation does not, I
think, apply strictly to domestic animils,
does especially, which seem to acquire some
perceptions beyond mere animal ones.

Borie on Grant.
WASHINGTON Special. /

WASHINGTON, May at is learned here
from good authority that the day previous
to the departure of Mr.. Borie from Philadel-
phia to join General Grant in Europe, for
trip through India, he had a communication
with a personals friend as to the much
talked of candidacy of Grant for the presi-
dency. In this conversation Mr.. Borie in
formed his friend that his object in going
abroad was manly at the earnest solicitation
of several of General Grants intimate
friends in Philadelphia, who were
alarmed at what they termed the ef-
forts of the politicians to put the gen.
eral forward as q candidate for president in
1880. Said Mr.. Borie to his friend: Under
no circumstances should General Grant
permit his name to go before political
convention. He has had all the honor and
renown that can be given to any American
citizen, and il ne were to run again for pres
ident and be defeated, even though he
should be unfairly counted OUT by the
two Democratic Houses of Congress, he
would live in history as q defeated candidate.
1t is the desire of the true friends of the
general that he do not allow the use Of his
name again for the presidency or any other
Office"
It is known from letters received fror,
those who travel with him that they do net
wish him to be q candidate again, and that,
30 far IS he has oppressed himself. he shares
in the disinclination to allow himself to be
candidate. One, at least. of his companions
has written home that the general has said
that he would not, under any circumstances,
accept nomination. It is surmised
here, however, that he nor those
with him have . conception of the
magnitude that the SO called Grant
movement has assumed within the past six
months, and especially SINCE the antics of
the present Democratic Congress began. A
member of the cabinet remarked to your
correspondent the other day that If it Lad
been the fixed purpose of the Democratic
majority in Congress to give the Grant
movement an irresistible send-off, they
could not have set about 1t better than to
have forced an extra session, as they did.
We're the election held to-day, he thought
Grant would carry every Northern State.

Wives, Rights to the Family Purse.


The Country Gentleman thinks that eff
every man would pay his wife weekly sum
for housekeeping clothing, ETC., he would
find that in nine cases out of 10 her manage
ment of the fund would increase not only
his comfort but that of the whole house."
and it says: IF she is equal to the task of
being q wife and a mother she is also equal
to the task of supplying and paying for the
daily necessities of the home. II she is head
manager she will take pride and pleasure
in making 100 cents go a great way
much further than q man could make $50
go. She will also make calculations about
the expenditures OF the weekly sum; will
lay by a certain amount toward buying such
and such supplies in quantities; will learn
that there is no economy in buying soap by
the bar starch or sugar by the pound. She
will systematic her affairs, keep her books
"a day-book and a ledger-and exhibit her
well kept accounts with pride and delight.
The very fact that the expenditure of the
money belongs to her will sweeten her life,
give new zsst to her occupations and make
her q happy and more contented wife.
To most women the idea OF asking for
money is abhorrent. They put it off
from day to day, the dread of it is SO
great. They will wear expensive clothes in
the kitchen rather than ask for the money
needsul for the purchase of plain, calico
dress. The subject of money supplies in
the home, opens a wide field of thought in
the husband. viii he cultivate 1t? Many
wives of the middle class have been &C.
customed to earn their own support; to pur-
chase their own wardrobes. before they
were married. But after marriage all is
changed; they must ask for what they
require, rather than to have it paid to them
quarterly. At first their wants are few,
or all supplied; but one or two years alters
their outlook, and it becomes very dreary.
Can the husband understand thisf trow
not. He will tell you: My wife has all she
asks for never dreaming how many days it
requires to summon her courage to ask for
necessities. An utterly false statement
exclaims some one, there's no woman
afraid to ask for what one needs" May
ask you to inquire Of your own wife how
she feels on such occasions. Unless she Is
afraid to speak the truth, your eyes may be
opened somewhat"

Death from a Spiders Bite.
ALBANY Times.l

Maria Gillett, aged 30 years, died at the
Shakers, Saturday evening, after very short
illness, produced, 1t is thought, by the bite
OF spider nearly two weeks since. She was
the grand-niece of General Ethan Allen, her
grandfather being brother of the hero of
Ticonderoga, and served as captain under
him. 1t is singular to relate, but she re-
tanned the Allen mark, having been born
with six fingers, the surplus member being
removed In her infancy; and her children,
of which she reared two, also bore the un-
mistakable family feature when infants.
She has been q staunch and faithful member
of the Shaker community for so years.

BROKEN STRINGS.

There is no minstrel ripe in years,
But, as his song he sings,
Feels musingly across his harp
To find some broken strings. s
The early songs that from his Tyre
His youthful fingers flung.
Have lost their first Promethean hre
Since love and life were young.
The world may listen to the strains
Which from each harp-string noatS,
But still unto his ear remains
A discord in the notes. "a
And still his heart, unSat1sned,
Seeks yearningIy, in vain,
To find the music which has died,
And mend the broken strain -. -
O World. that listens, when too late,
Unto the voice which sings,
And loves the music, when the years
Have shattered many strings.
But little owes the bard to you
For praises from your tongue.
Who heard not when the harp was new,
And love and life were young.

Here Is an instance of sinstinctn which
shows, think, that there Is no difference
whatever between the reason of animals and
that of men. A mare here had her first foal
when she was 10 or IL years old. She was
blind of one eye. The result was that she
frequently trod upon the foal, or knocked It
over when it happened to be on the blind
side of her, in consequence of which the foal
died when it was three or four weeks old.
The next year she had another foal; and We
fully expected that the result would be the

The Newest Jewclry.

For bracelets the most recherche are the
solitaire jewels set in a narrow band of
gold, and of these several are worn upon
the arm as rings upon the fingers Thus a
SAPPHIRE, ruby and diamond arc often worn
upon one wrist, and perhaps o pink, white
and black pearl upon the other. Or if a
single wide bracelet is worn, it may be in
the form of serpcntne coil, perhaps six
to eight strands, graded in size and fitted
with strings so as to clasp the arm and re-
tain its place wherever it may be put. For
pendants, the most novel and curious are
set with fancy -colorcd pearls, black, pink,
bronze, yellow, salmon and gray, together
with those possessing tho beautiful irridcs-
"orient" so highly priced; Or, again, with
fancy colored diamonds-for there are dia-
monds of all colors, and they are now ca
gerly sought for. For earrings, solitaire
diamonds continue to lead, though some
tasteful devices that 60 well with the new
collarettes and diamond flowers arc formed
Of little blossom of diamond paned leaves
from which the solitaire is pendant Soil
taire pearls are in high favor, and all the
rarer stones are also worn in the ears. "A
new departure is to wear different Jewels in
the cars, as a SAPPHIRE in one and ruby in
the other, or ruby and diamond, as to
have the two alike is but u repetition, and
not 80 effective. For rings, the solitaire
diamond Is still favorable for an engage
ment token, but sapphires, rubies and pearls
are being used more and more frequently
There is variety of new settings for rings.
One pretty style is formed with diamond
of fair size, and sapphire, ruby or emerald
equally large, set close to each other, tho
band or shank being set with Aeur dc lis, or
other ornaments wholly formed of small
diamonds, which completely cover the
ring. One style of tcn-stone hoop ring,
composed Of two rows of five stones each,
is arranged as follows: White diamonds,
emerald, yellow diamond, ruby and white
diamond in one hoop; ruby, white dia-
mond, sapphire, brown diamond and eme-
raid in the other. The effect of this COM
bination is highly novel and pleasing.

A Female Hermit.

Old Mother Dildine, the female hermit
who lives in the mountains about fifteen
miles northwest of Nevada, made her Sc
mi-annual visit to Sutro recently to sell q
few eggs, and lay in scanty supply Of gro
ceries and other provisions. 1 In conversa-
ton she seemed quite self f-possessed and in-
telligent. She says she will be sixty years
old next October; that she has lived alone
in the mountains now for twelve years, and
that she is perfectly happy In living seclu-
dcd from the outside world. Her only sup
port is that which she derives from two
hundred and sixty, Angora goats and eight
hens. She says che Is seldom visited by
the whites, and prefers never to see one
about her premises, for, In nearly every ins-
tance, they tease her about her mode of
living, and after their departure she worries
over their conduct toward her. (. She likes
the Piutes, and often seeks their companions
ship. They have mover yet seen her In
need but that they would shoot some rab.
bits or kill fow birds for her relief, and In
cold winter have even shared the warmth
Of their blankets with her. In height this
singular woman Is about five feet six inches
and In actions sprightly, Her dark auburn
hair lies In wavelets about her forehead,
and hangs about her head ia long curIs.
