Intelligent Horses.

have my opinion, founded upon
close and varied observation, that horses
can aud do convey to each other very
exact intelligence by the various sounds
they produce, from the proud, sonOrous
neighings of full spirited horse, down
to the whinnyings and snortings and
other little sounds with which all keep
ers of horses are familiar. Once. in
long stable containing twenty stalls in
row, a horse on the one end was dying.
Near the other end was horse of
tmid disposition, which showed marked
signs of dread and extreme nervousness,
as though conscious of what was going
on, trembling from head to foot, and
streaming with perspiration. feel con-
vinced that intelligence of what was
passing had reached this horse, and
that, being of nervous temperament,
the poor animal had been troubled to
the painful extent we had witnessed.
Another example OF different kind. 1t
often happened that was away from
the company for weeks and months at a
stretch and on some of these occasions
1 had to return along the road by which
the circus was coming, thus meeting the
vans one after the other all down the
line. When yet there was some dis
lance between myself and the nearest
van my horse would scent or see the
head van-horse and salute him with
loud neigh. This would be at once an
swered by the van-horse, which seemed
to pass the signal to the rear down the
line, where it was taken up from horse
to horse to the very end, perhaps three
quarters of mile away. Then, as 1
rapidly drove by and met the vans, each
horse would turn toward mine as he
passed, greeting him with a friendly and
joyous neigh; apparently holding a
short conversation in passing, as though
welcoming each other after separation.
For it must be noted that it was only
after long absence that such demon

Obelisks.

The Romans had a passion for ODE
lisks, removing the one now In New
York, and the one III London, from He
liopolis and erecting them before the
C8sareum of Alexandria Here is an
account OF an obelisk greater than ours
The great obelisk which now adorns
the piazza of St. John Lateran, at Rome,
was originally set up before the Temple
of Amen at Heliopolis. it is of red
granite, and as it now stands it is 108
feet inches high, and its faces are re-
spectively 9 feet 81 inches and 9 feet
wide at the base one of the bases is
slightly convex, and 1t has been calcu-
lated to weigh 455 tons. The Persians.
the Greeks and the Romans allowed it
to remain In the place it was originally
designed for, but on the establishment
of Christianity Constantine the Great,
intending it for the adornment of his
new capital in the East, removed it to
Alexandria about 800 A. ID. This inten-
ton he was unable to carry out, but it
was brought from Egypt by his success
Or, Constantine, who re-erected it in the
Circus Maximus. A ship was built to
convey the obelisk to Rome 800 rowers
tugged the huge trireme and its ponder
Gus burden across the waters of the Med
iterranean to the shores of Ostia. Ar
rived there the obelisk was slid off from
the deck of the galley on low cart sup
ported by rollers instead of wheels, and
1T was then dragged and pushed through
the gates of Ostia into the Circus Maxi
mus. "All that now remained to he
done" records the historian, Ammianus
Marcellinus, twas TO set it upright,
which they hardly expected to accom-
plish. Large beams of wood We're plant
cd upright and raised to dangerous
altitude, resembling n forest of machine
ny. To these were attached long, thick
ropes, which, from their weight and ten
sion, appeared but as so many slender
threads, and yelled the sky as with
close netting. To these ropes the noun
famous mass of granite, covered with its
profusion of hieroglyphics, was attached,
and being gradually raised up into the
air, md for some time actually suspend
ed, was at last poised upon the base pre-
pared for it by the exer,ions of many
thousands of men. A brazen sphere,
covered with plates of gold, was placed
upon the top, which, being soon after
damaged by lightning and consequently
taken away, was replaced by figure of
a flame, also made of brass, covered with
gold leaf and carved to resemble hlaz-
ing fire.

Boston and New York.

So long ago as 1719, Daniel Neal, an
observant traveller, who ought to be held
in high esteem by Massachusetts, people,
wrote Of the New England metropolis
There are five printing-presses in Bos-
ton, which are generally full of work,
by which it appears that humanity and
the knowledge of letters flourish more
here than in all the other English planta-
tions put together, for in the city of New
York there is but one booksellers shop.
and in the plantations of Virginia, Mary
land, Carolina, Barbados and the
islands, none at ALL"
Happily humanity and the knowledge
OF letters are no longer confined to one
corner OF the country but, notwith-
standing the growth of an opinion that
Boston and New York are to occupy rel.
atively the positions of Edinburgh and
London, the capital of Massachusetts,
still has peculiar prestige as the oldest
center OF literary culture in the country.
causing the eyes of the rest of the Union
to turn toward it with particular inter-
est, glance compounded of respect and
"reminiscences with something of insatia-
BILE expectancy. The privileged Bos-
tonian, it is true, laughs at Boston in
his quiet way. 1t is capital place to
live in" said an eminent publisher who
has his dwelling there, "because then
you can go to New York. But if you
live in New York, where can you go ?"
The mot epitomizes the sentiment Of
many among his townsmen but if
they sometimes join in the alien laugh
against their little city," and recog-
nize a degree of smallness and con-
straint in Its general attitude, they also
keenly appreciate the other side. So
do some OF our friends the New York
ers. One of the younger New York
poets, on visiting Cambridge for the
first time, said to me "We hear a
great deal about the failure of Boston to
quite appreciate the mental breadth and
energy of New York. But with all the
admiration felt for this region before I
came here, l find I didn't wholly APP
preciate it. There is such thing as
New York Bostonism. "-Harper's Mag

How He Was Laid.

It was in smoking car ON the Hudson
river road. A New Yorker was exhibit
ing an invention to several gentlemen,
when an old farmer, with q settled look
of sadness on his face, heaved a sigh and
said:
81 never see such thing without
wanting to weep"
Nothing about this invention to
weep over, that can see, replied the
inventor,
"Wail, it sort O. calls up old recollec-
tions. Twenty years ago this fall

Yes sir, believed had struck the big
gest thing since steam was brought inso

"What was it?"

He paused here to wipe away q tear,
and then continued.
"There was the fortune. 1 figured
that 5000, 600 creased rags were used in
this country five months in the year.
Fifty thousand barrels of grease were
used up greasing spider. Over 500, 900
wasted and gone. One turnip would
make six greasers loo bushels would
make enough to supply the country.
All that was needed was to cut them up
into fancy style, aflix handle, and go
to supply the demand at 10 cents each. "
"There was money in it.
"No, there wasn't / bought 100
bushels of turnips, 500 worth of wire
and hired two men to go to work, and
then took greaser and went over il to
Vermont to see how it would take; they
would not have it. They had something
more simple and much cheaper"
"What could it have been?"
"They spit on the spider !" replied
the old man, as tear made break

The Beaver.

1t is singular fact that these animals
perform most of their work at night, but
they come out early in the evening and
continue at work during the early morn
ing hours. For the remainder of the
day they are rarely seen, except in re-
gions where they are very numerous, or
are entirely undisturbed by trappers.
BY making breach in their dams you
can compel them to come out, but it
will be late in the night before they
show themselves, and they are so wary
that it is extremely difficult to conceal
yourself in their immediate vicinity so
as to see them work.
After ice has formed in their ponds,
they retire to their lodges and burrows
for the winter, and they are not seen
again, either by day or night, except in
rare instances, until thaw comes, of
which they take advantage to come out
after fresh cuttings.
In establishing their lodges so as to
adapt them to winter occupation,
and in the manner of providing their
winter subsistence, the beavers display
remarkable forethought and intelligence.
The severity of the climate in these
northern ATTITUDES lays upon them the
necessity of so locating their lodges as
to be assured of water deep enough in
their entrances, and also so protected in
other respects as not to freeze to the
bottom otherwise they would perish
with hunger, locked up in ice-bound
habitations. When these preparations
are commenced at an unusually early
date, it is n sure indication of an early,
abrupt and severe winter, while, on the
other hand, when these animals display
leisure III their movements after the be-
ginning of October, an open autumn in
variably ensues.
A very interesting fact with reference
to the beaver Is that of his great an
tiquity upon the earth. A presumption to
this effect would arise from his coarse sub
sistence and his aquatic habits but it is
confirmed by decisive evidence. Both
the European and American beavers are
found in fossil state, and under con-
ditions which establish for each of them
very ancient epoch for their first exist
ence among living animals. Remains of
the beaver have been found associated
with those of the mammoth, hippopota-
mus, rhinoceros, hyena, and other ex-
tinct mammals in the pleistocene fresh
water or DRIFT formations of the Val
d'Arno ; and remains were found fossil
by DIR. Schmerling in the ossiferous cav
ems In the neighborhood of Liege.

CAN'T q man laugh as much as he
pleases when he goes to the theater to
be amused? 1t seems he can't in Phil
adelphia. The other evening an old man
went into the Grand Central Thoater in
that sober city and took q seat we'll up
in front. The play amused the old gentle
man hugely, and he laughed loud and
long. An actor on the stage remarked
that if everyone could laugh like that
old man there would be little sorrow in
the world. Just then an usher came
down the aisle and told the Laughter that
he must moderate his mirth. The old
gent, it seems, couldn't, and an officer
came in and hustled him out. The
audience were very indignant and they
missed loudly. However, the theater
authorities persisted in ejeoting him, so
all but few of those present Indignantly
rose and left the house.

AT Rangoon, in Burmah, recently, in
one of the most populous quarters of the
town, a tiger was killed i'll broad day
light. The brute had been hanging
about Dallah, the struggling village
on the other side of the river from Ran.
COON, for several days, and early one
morning swan across the river to Ran
COON. Tagged with the long mile
through n swift current, and no doubt
astonished at the number of people he
came across, he ensconced himself be-
meath a hou5e. The District Superin-
tendent of Police heard of the arrival,
and, armed with Winchester repeating
rifle, went down with another English
man in the direction pointed out. They
came upon the tiger rather unexpected
~. Entering one of the houses on the
river bank, they all of sudden discov-
cred the animal only few inches below
them, with nothing but the scant pro-
lection of an open bamboo floorwork be-
tween them and him. A bullet between
the shoulders, however, dropped him
before any harm could be done, and a
couple more shots made things sure.

PrOgnOstics of Weather Derived from
Twilight.

Since the colors and duration of twi-
light, especially at evening, depend
upon the amount of condensed vapor
which the atmosphere contains, these
appearances should afford some indica-
ton of the weather which may be ex-
pected to succeed.
The following are some of the rules
which are relied upon by seamen {:
When, after sunset. the western sky is
OF a whitish yellow, and this tint ex-
tends a great height, it is probable that
it will rain during the night or next day.
Gaudy or unusual hues, with hard,
definitely outlined clouds, foreteli rain
and probably wind.
Ii the sun before setting appears diff
fuse and of n brilliant white, it foretells
storm.
Ii it sets in sky slightly purple, the
atmosphere near the zenith being of n
bright blue, we may rely upon fine
weather.-PrOf. LOonlis.

he caught his feet in some potato-vines
and fell into gooseberry bush, scratch

answered Johnny, wishing she wouldn't

About the middle of the forenoon his
father came back from the village,
whittier he had gone after breakfast.
I'd like to see you out at the barn

Johnny began to shake in his boots.
He knew well enough what was coming.

his father out with the air of martyr
about to be burnt ut the stake.

S0thern's Estimate Of Americans.

When the conversation again turned
upon America, / suggested that 1 should
like to know his opinion of the natives Of
that country. He paused moment,
and said, substantially:
SIN my opinion, they are the most
liberal, the most generous people of any
country / was ever in. You may know,
possibly, that have travelled somewhat
extensively, but repeat that the Amer
leans are generous, and 1 have more
warm friends in the United States than
anywhere else, and, beside all that, they
are the most go-ahead people in the
world"

A MOST miraculous escape from death
is reported by the Macomb Qll.) Jour
nal. A little 4-year-old daughter OF
Samuel Bland, one icy day, went to the
we'll for some purpose, and, looking III,
she slipped and fell headlong into the
well. The mode of drawing water was
with buckets and rope over wheel,
the bucket being down in the well at
the time. The well was walled; the
distance to the water over thirty feet,
and through this perilous space the lit
tie girl fell head first. Her brother, a
lad some Is or Is years old, saw the ac-
cident and ran to the well, where he was
oined by the agonized mother of the
little girl. Looking into the well, they
could see nothing of the child. Instinct
lively the boy drew on the rope, and the
body was drawn to the surface OF the
water. What further to do was ques-
ton that ran like lightning through the
mothers brain. AS it was, the child's
head was above water, and, if some one
was present to go into the well, there
was rare possibility that it might be
rescued alive, while another pull at the
rope, and it would probably drop from
the bucket, which was supporting it,
and drown, if not already killed by the
fall But there was no assistance within
reach. The boy gave another pull at
the rope, and the little body hung clear
of the water. Slowly and with care,
upon which hung the life of his little
sister, the boy drew in the rope, while
the mother watched every movement
with that suspense that only motner in
her situation can feel and, when at last
the child was within reach. she grasped
it with feeling that, dead or alive, the
body of her darling was safe in her
arms. La falling into the water, the
child had, with an instinct born of self
preservation, clutched the rope, and, al
though rendered insensible by the fall,
her grip remained fast; her body lay
across the bail, and one foot went into
the bucket; thus it was she hung fast as
the bucket was drawn up. AS before
stated, the little one was insensible when
rescued, and her face and body were
somewhat bruised, but she soon became
rational, and, within twenty-four hours,
was very little the worse for her perilous
adventure.
