Animal nnCiOrS.


Certain animals, including especially
the dog, horse, mule, elephant aud cat,
but also the chimpanzee, orang, various
apes or monkeys; the pike and other
fishes; sheep and other animals, some
times become voluntary patients, and
some ines notably patient or submis-
sive, quiet and accomplishing, as well
as intelligent patients of the physician
or surgeon. Not only so, but having
themselves experienced the benefit of
mans medical or surgical skill, they
bring their young or their fellows as
patients to him, and they cooperate
with the physician or surgeon in his
treatment, either by showing the pa
tients what to do, or 10y compelling their
acquiescence in mans arrangements for
their behoof. AS medical or surgical
patients, moreover, some of the lower
animals stand in the most favorable
contrast to man-in respect, for instance
to their sagacity, self control, fortitude,
gratitude or other virtues that are
brought into prominence by suffering
and its relief. There are many instan-
ces of war or regimental elephants in
India going regularly, day after day, o
their own accord, TO military hospitals,
TO get wounds dressed, usually after
having been taken there once or twice
by their mahouts, They submit them
selves to any necessary operations; un-
derstand tho surgeons object and
cooperate with him express pain and
relieve themselves by plaintive groans
though obviously regarding the inAic-
tion of pain as necessary or unavoida-
ble part of the operation, prepare them
selves for suffering by drawing IN the
breath rs man does, recognize and put
confidence in the surgeons voices and
persons as those of friends. OF an
adult male elephant we are told, " that
the surgeon might operate, he readily
extended himself on the ground and
bore with patience the application even
of burning caustic, The acuteness Of
the pain would sometimes force from
him painful groan. But to the doctor,
who, by inAicting momentary tormepts,
sought to accomplish his cure, he ex-
pressed the liveiest emotions OF graft.

Loves Strength.

The gods of old, when man was made,
One day reclining meath the shade
OF high Olympus, formed plan
To make complement for man.
For man in his primeval state
Was not the being wise and great
And good and true that now is seen,
But was at first a mere machine.
And 80 the gods, with toll and pain,
Debated much, and long in vain,
What they should form with the intent
To be for man this complement.
way at last they did discern,
nd made the passions, each in turn
Among the which are reckoned great
Remorse and friendship, love and hate
And every god in turn esssyed
The strength of what their skill had made,
Decreeing that should be the strongest
That gainst their own strength held out
longest.
The lesser ones with ease they threw,
And 30 with hate and friendship too;
But when they came to love at last
He stuck so firm and held so fast
That, though the gods all tugged and strained,
His steady hold he still retained:
Yea, though the gods were hot and blown,
Yet love was neither moved nor thrown.
And 30, as none his strength could move,
They gave the palm, perforce, to love-
And yielded to his tender thrall,
And love was strongest of them all.

INCIDENTS AND NOTES.

voluminous telegraphic reports re-
ceiyed last night:
Toronto, Canada, was greatly ex-
cited
Guitteau lived in Milwaukee dur
ing 1S7S-79, and was thought to be
half insane. He was known as a
pettifogger and defender of evil
women. He was debarred from
practising in the courts.
Guitteau says he went to Long
Branch to shoot the President, but
was deferred by the enfeebled con-
dition of Mrs. Garfield.
Blaine sent to Arthur that he
would keep him advised of the
Presidents condition.
Guitteau went to Washington IN
February with many Recommended
lions to secure the United States
consulship at Marseilles. He
boarded with a Mrs. Lockwood,
acted strangely at times, and when
his bill was presented could not pay
it.
Guitteau preyed upon General Lo-
gan to get his influence.
There is theory in Washington
that the assassination was not the
work of a lunatic, but the result OF
a deep and dark plot.
There was great excitement IN
Denver over the news.
Guitteau was about to shoot a
third time, when Blaine throttled
him and threw him to the ground:
Some think that Guitteau also IN
tended to shoot Blaine.
When Bob Ingersoll called on the
President, the latter stretched out
his hand and said, "Im glad you
have come"
Senator Jones, of Nevada, says
neither COnkling nor Arthur knows
anything of Guitteau.
Business was almost suspended
at the departments in Washington
on Saturday.
There was intense excitement at
Buffalo.
Mrs. Garfield knew all when she
left Long Branch.
The approaches to the Whlte
House are guarded by troops.
