knew Skye terrier who, being told
to carry iishing-rod, carefully expert
mented along its length to find its CEN
ter of gravity, then carried it on till his
master came to a narrow path through
u wood. Here Skye considered dropped
the rod, took it by the end, and dragged
it under him longthwise till the open
road was gained, when he took the rod
by the center Of gravity again, and went
on. This could not be a copy of human
actions, but the result of original rea-
soning.
Mr.. Henry Cecil gives the following
on the authority of the late Mr.. Dawes,
the astronomer: "Bcing busy in his
garden and having a large bunch of
keys in his hand he gave it to a retriev-
er to hold for him till he was at liberty.
Going into the house soon after he f""-
got to reclaim the keys. The remem-
brancc of what he had done with them
only returned to him when he required
to see them in the evening. He then
recalled that he had given them to the
dog, and forgotten to take them again.
Calling him, and looking impressivey
into his face, he said, My keys! fetch
ME my keysr The dog looked wistful
and puzzled for moment, and then
bounded off to the garden, his master
following. He went straight to the
root of an apple tree, catched up tho
keys and brought them. May we not
fairly put into words the dogs train of
reasoning, thus: MY master has given
me these keys to hold; he has forgotten
them; cannot carry them all day; but
must put them in safety where | can
find them again. "
Mr.. X. Howson sends us the story of
tcrrer-like dog of no particular breed,
named Uglymug, who had u poodle for
companion. Whenever Uglymug saw
signs of family meal being spread
out, he inveigled the poodle into
labyrinthine shrubbery, under the pre-
tence of seeking for rats, and, when the
latter was fairly intent on its game, Ug-
lymug sncaked back to enjoy all by
himself what he could get from the fam

The English Army.

is'N'Dn lIlIUt
What strikes the mind of the civilian
is that we have a small army, which
generally breaks down in all its details
whenever any call is made upon it, and
that our artillery, which we are given
to regard as the best in the world, turns
out to be not far from the worst, while
our military expenditure is out of all
proportion with results. The total mil
itary expenditure of the German army
is fl6,592, 900; on peace footing it
numbers 1909 officers and 4009
rank and file, on war footing 81, 1915
officers and 1878, 346 rank and file, all
trained soldiers, while behind this vast
force there are the landstrum and the
troops of the field reserve, which would
enable it to place in the field 2, 100000
men without drawing on the last re-
serves. What on the other hand, is
our position? Our army estimates
amount to 9l5,645,0O0. For this we
have 1884 officers and 1865 rank and
file, l4,OOO enrolled pensioners and
army reserve force, 1886 militiamen,
1900 yeomanry cavalry. and 4,l9l
volunteers. 1t will be said that Ger
many can obtain men cheaper than us;
on account of compulsory service; but,
making full allowance for the difference
in the rate of pay to German and Eng
fish soldiers in the regular army, this
does not account for the enormous dis
proportion in expenditure and results

Beside the Bars"
By MARGARET Z sANGsTER.

Grandmother's knitting has lost its charm;
Unheeded 1t lies in her ample lap,
While the sunsets crimson, soft and warm,
Touches the frills of her snowy cap.
She Is gazing on two beside the bars,
Under the maple-who little care
For the growing dusk or the rising stars,
Or the hint of frost in the autumn air.
One Is a slender slip of girl,
And one man in the pride OF youth;
The maiden as pure as the purest pearl,
The lover strong in his steadiast truth.
"Sweet, my own, as rose Of June"
lie says, full low, DER the golden head.
II would sound to her like "a dear old tune,
Could grandmother hear the soft word said
For it seems but little while ago
Since under the maple, beside the bars,
She stood girl, while the sunsets glow
Melted away mid the evening stars.
And one, her lover, so bright and brave,
spake words as tender, in tones as low;
They come to her now from beyond the grave'
The words Of her darling so long ago.
"My own one, sweet as rose in Junol"
Her eyes are dim and her hair il white,
But her heart keeps time to the old love tune,
As she watches her daughters child to.
night
A world between them, perhaps you say;
Yes. one has read the story through;
One has her beautiful yesterday,
And one tomorrow fair toyiew.
But little you dream how fond prayer
Goes up to God through his silver stars,
From the aged mother gazing there,
For the two who lmger beside the bars.

NJ. jules Antiques has communicated
to the Figaro long document, which
he declares to be the political testament
of the late Prince Louis Napoleon. The
lucubration ends with Il kind of pro-
grammc OF the third Empire, the prin-
cipal items of which are decentraliza-
ton of the Government and resuscita-
ton of the old provinces; a reform of
the army and magistracy in accordance
with the new Constitution; formation of
a Parliament in which all social groups
should be represented. This document,
written in 1877, was published on the
day of the anniversary of Dec. 2, in the
hope, doubtless, of serving as a pro-
gramme to the dislocated Bonapartist
party.

NEW HAVEN, CT., January 24.-Roellof
Won Barren, Hollander, who has resided
in New Haven with his wife and child for
six months, has fallen heir to an immense
fortune by the death of his great. grand
uncle, Heinrich Spier, of Rotterdam, who
bequeaths him his property. Last week
Heinrich Won Barren, half-brother to
ltoelloif, called at this city direct from
Rotterdam, accompanied by William A.
Beach, the New York lawyer, and, Roelloif
says, told him of his good fortune, and
offered him 5000 in cash if he would
make him manager of his estates. Helm

offer was refused, and Roelloff has since re-
ceived letters from the mayor of Rotterdam
and two notaries who drew the will, in
forming him that the estate left him is esti-
mated between $25,000,O00 and 100000
600. 1t is SAID the property is the accu-
mutation OF several generations, and in
cludes besides an immense amount OF real
and personal property, two shlpyards and
fleet Of seventy vessels. Van Barren goes TO
New York tomorrow to meet the mayor
and notaries who are said to have arrived
there to consult with HIM. Van Barren is
about 35, and says he was formerly
Catholic priest, entering upon that calling
at the wish of his father and other
relatives, but after serving three
years renowned religion against
their wishes. He further says that in an
alteration with his half brother over the
matter he was stabbed, and drawing his
own knife killed his half. brother in self
defence. Acting under the advice Of the
| authorities he went to London where he
married an English woman, and lived I'M
