Intellect in Brutes.

The central prison at Agra is the
roosting place Of great numbers of COM
mon blue pigeon; they fly out of the
neighboring country for food every
morning, and return in the evening,
when they drink at a tank just outside
the prison walls. In this tank are Il
large number of fresh water turtles,
which lie in wait for the pigeons, just
nnde- the surface of the water at the
edge of it. Any bird aligbting to
drink ne ar one of these turtles has o
good chance of having his heal bitten
offand eaten; and the headless bodies
of pigeons have been picked up near
the water, showing the fate which has
sometimes befallen the birds. The pig
cons, however, are aware of the dan
ger, and have hit on the following plan
to escape it. A pigeon comes in from
Its long flight, and, as it nears the tank,
instead of flying Gown at once to the
waters edge, will cross the tank at
about twenty feet above It's surface,
and then fly back to the side from
which it came, apparently selecting for
allehting a safe spot which it has re-.
marked as it flew over the bank; but
even when such a spot has been Sc
ceted the bird will not alieht at the
edge of the water, but ON the bank
about yard from the water, and will
then run down quickly to the water,
take two or three hurried guIps of it,
and then fly eff to repeat the same
process at another part of the tank till
its thirst is satisfied. I had often
| watched the birds doing this, ami could
not account for their strange mode of
drinking till told by my friend, the
| superintendent OF the prison, Of the
tartles which lay in ambush
for the pigeons. The same friend
had couple Of hill mynahs, (Grocu!s
religioso,) the most wonderful. nir for
mimicry which I have come across,
not excepting the gray parrot OF the
West African coast. One OF these
birds. when hung ont in the veranda
during the afternoons, used to amuse
itself, by calling the fowls to-
gether.t initiating the call of their
Keeper SO well that they used to
flock together under the cage, when
the bird would barst out into Il very
good imitation OF human laugh, as if
it quite enjoyed the fun of taking in
the fowls. Have birds the sense OF
amusement? This one certainly seemed
to derive qualification from the way
in which it had cheated the fowls. -

Alex. Ramsey was once United States
Senator from Minnesota a sgc
While occupying that position he made
the editor of the Pioneer Press postmaster
of st. Paul.
The editor appointed his partner depu-
ty postmaster and the establishment
raked in seven or eight thousand dollars
per annum.. r ."
Mcmillan was elected to the Senate in
place of Ramsey and he turned the editor
of the P. P. out and put his brother-in-
law in. This threw the p P. out of any,
thing in the way of postoffice swag 4
That paper now comes out and pre-
sents the name of Ramsey for the Senate
in place of Mcmillan The editor desires
to be postmaster once more The length
and breadth of the Ramsey movement
consist in the frantic efforts of the P. P.
to secure the postoffice again. -
How mnch the public will sympathize
with this movement remains to be seen

Scientific Discursjon.

The Sunday Science club was fairly attend,
cd yesterday, despite the prevalence of tho
storm. Mr.. NJ. A. Morey opened the exer-
cises with paper on the subject of planetary
rings and nebule, and considered the different
views OF scientists on the subject. He had
little belief in the opinion held by many that
bodies OF nebule throw off nebular rings, the
rings consisting of little bodies of all sizes,
and that the rings finally gather into planet
or satellite. MIR. Alexander explained the
spectrum analysis, and said by its means the
composition of distant bodies can be deter
mined.
Mr.. Wright then read his promised paper on
the preference Vote" This is a theory by
which he proposes to keep bad men and caucus
candidates out of Office. He spoke of the
struggle in the convention some years ago be
tween Washburn and Donnelly, and as a result
the election of Mr.. Il. NJ Wilson, the Demo
cratic candidate. This he commended was
ty He said the caucuses held in this city at
that time were disgraccful, and attributed the
whole trouble to caucus management. Our
disgraceful congressional patronage system is
| the result of vicious election laws. The
| method of electing men by plurality is
wrong, as it kills independent movements
| The better class of voters will not degrade
themselves by taking part in caucus, and is
| there not some way by which voter can stay
away from the caucuses and still exercise
| his full political power? He
| then explained the preference vote. The tick
| ct contains several names for the same Office.
| The first name is the first choice of the voter
| and the next is the second choice, and SO On.
| By this scheme he claimed that the strongest
party will always win, and also the strongest
man in the party.
