I really think that bruin pos
sesses the sense of humor; at all
events his actoins point that way.
and there is no doubt that he is
extremity cunning and observing.
l once had an English friend visit.
ing me, who played the flute.
He was in the habit Of marching
up and down, while playing, near
q tame bear I had at the time.
The bear had 4 piece of stick
absut two feet long, which be
tossed about for amusement.
After . time, he came to handle
the stiek, very much, - my frisud
did his dute.z Ths ANNOYED my
SENSITIVE friend, and in revenge
he leased the hear with ulcouth
noisss Bxuia shifted and whised, ,
and vaitsd bis opportunity for
delivering . tremendous blow with
his paw It his enemy, whose tall
hat was knocked completely over
his eyes. He escaped being
solped BY dropping fat and roll.
ing out Of tho reach Of The bear.
This bear spent much of bic time
IN the tree 70 which he was chain
ed, and when climbing usually
got his chain twisted over and
under the branches in q most in
tricatei manner, but never failed
to take out every turn - he de-
cended. A friend who owned 4
tame bear told me that for . long
time he could not account for the
mysterious way in which the poul.
try disappeared. Observing At
different times q good many
feathers around Bruins pole, he
began to suspect that the bear
was the culprit. Close watching
confirmed his suspicious. When
bruin though he was rnobserved
he would seize any unfortunate
hen or chicken within his reach
and devour it; but If any one ap-
preached before he could complete
the meal he would sit upon his
prey until the danger Of discov-
cry had passed. He was betrayed
at last By the cackling Of an old
hen that he had failed to silence.

l nave not SAID anything about
the crows, which are a feature of
Yedo. and one which the colonist
would willingly dispense With.
There are millions Of them, and
in many places they break the
silence OF the silent land with
Babel of noisy discords. They
are everywhere aud have attained
a degree Of most objectionable
impsrtinsnce mingled withs GUS
ming and sagacity which almost,
puts them on . level With man in
some circumstances. Five Of
them we're 80 impudept q, TO-
alight on two Of my HORSES, and.
70 Be ferried across the Yurapaa-
AVA. In the iun-earden at Mori
l saw . dog eating piece Of car>l
RON in the presence Of sevsrai Of
these covetous birds. Thsy sn-
IDENTIFY said q good deal to each
other on the subject, and now
and then one or two Of them
tried TO pull the meat away from
him, which he resented. At last
a big strong crow succeeded in
tearing of . piece, with which he
returned to tho pine where the
others were congregated, and af-
ter much earnest speech they all
surrounded the dog, and Tho lead
ing bird dexterously dropped the
small piece Of meat within reach
of his mouth, when he immedi-
ately snapped at it, letting 60 the
big piece unwisely for a second,
on which two Of the crows flew
away with it to the pine, and with
much futtering and hilarity they
all ate, or rather gorged il, the
deceived dog looking vacant and
bewildered for . moment, after
which he sat under the tree and
barked at them namely.
A gentleman told me that he
saw q dog holding q piece Of meat
in like manner in the presence of
three crows, which also vainly
tried to tear it from him. aud
after a consultation they separa-
ted, two going a. near as they
dared to the meat, while the third
gave the tail a bite sharp enough
to make the dog turn round with
a squeal, on which the other vii
lains seized the meat, and the
three fed triun,phantly upon it
on the top of . wall. In many
places they are 90 aggresivs - to
crops, unless they are pro-
tected by netting. They assem-
bic on the sore backs of horses,
and pick them into holes, and are
mischievous in many ways. They
are very late on going to roost,
and are early astir in the morning.
and are so bold that they often
came with many a stately firt
and futter' into the verandah
where / was sitting. ] never
watched an assemblage of them
for any length of time without
being convinced that there was a
Nestor among them to lead their
movements. Along the sea-shere
they are very amusing, for they
take the air in the evening,
seated on a sand bank facing the
wind with their months open.
They are threatening to devour
the settlers. and Q crusade is inst
now Oelng waged against them,
but their name is Legion.

the Suns FUEL.

What keeps the majestic ball
hot and bright? This has great
ly engaged physicists and astron>
omers, and various have been
their theories. If the sun shone
only by mere combustion of its
own materials, the calculation is
that its fire would last five thou
sand years. It is very kind of
DR.. Siemens to come forward
with an emit rely new theory, which
holds out the hope that the men
of science are all wrong with their
dismal foreboding, aud that the
creation 10 not schemsd on the
poor footing of q German stove
or q suburban gas company. The
learned ironmastsr and pbysicist
believes that the sun may very
we'll 60 on illuminating and warm
ing cur world and the family OF
sister planets for a indefinite, if
not infinite, time. He supposes
interstellar space to be filled with
anextremely attsnuatsd hydrogen,
and interplanetary space with
denser gas, albeit more iarefied
than the atmosphere drawnround
each world. The sun, he thinks.
whirling ON its axis, draw into its
poles the THU hydrogen, hydro>
carbon, and oxygen Of our sphere,
and these, being kindled, are pro-
iected outward 1t his equator into
space. The accepted view 10 that
tie heat and light there developed
and radiated perish, Is far - We
are concerned, except for the
small portion arrested BY each
solar satellite; but DR.. Siemens
argues that this heat and light do
their chief work in decomposing
the carbonic oxide and watery va
por which were produced BY the
kindling at the solar poles, 20
that the sun itself perpetually
renews it, own supplies, and re-
stores BY ito energy the waste
matter which has fed that energy.
The theory 10 much too tschical
and complicated to be here dis
cusssd, and We should offer . bad
compliment to its ingenious au.
thor even TO attempt such . task.
DR.. Siemens. however, has had
great experience With the phs-
nomena Of radiated heat, and hia
applications o. the new view TO
the nature Of the zodiacal light
and Of cometsi is particularly strik-
ing. OF course it 10 startling to
hear something in our own avs
tenn which closely resembles per-
petual motion; and those who
maintain that everything comes
to an end, that all mechanical en-
ergy must be gradually degraded
aud metamorphossd, win be slow
to receive the new suggestion. =

party directly after the Legislature
passed the Sunday law. He has of late
heen very loud in his denunciation of
Foster on account of his fight against
the liquor traffic as now conducted.
Yesterday Foster received the following
very remarkable if not insulting tele-
gram from his predecessor:
CINCINNATI, Oct. 13.
To Charles Foster, Gorernor, Colun,-
bus, o: Congratulations on your only
victory in any rebellion. What do you
think OF your achievement? The Grand
Army of the Republic recognize your ef-
forts in behalf of the soldier element of
our party, and the Germans of this and
other cities in Ohio will ever appreciate
your services in their behalf.
{Signed): THos. L. YOUNG.
Governor Foster replied to the above
as follows:
COLUMBUS, Oct. Is.
Hon. Thos. L. Young, Cincinnati, o:
Your telegram is received. Your irony |
is excruciating, but a brave soldier. when
sober. is not apt to insinuate cowardice in
others. / am happy over the fact that

tion of the liquor traffic and the Sunday

Even the party managers know it, al
though they do not openly say go. The
defections in the Republican ranks are
enormous, and they are irremediable.
Tney are mainly among the class Of
people who have waited long, but
having made up their minds are not
easily frightened or cajoled. Sympathy
for Folger personally will no longer
stem the current. The problem which
Republicans have to solve is, how to
make his defeat useful to the cause of
good government and the party too.
They should make it such defeat that
everybody must understand its mean
ing. 1t should be clear that it is not
the result of Democratic skill or in
creasing popularity, but the work of
Republicans themselves, who are de-
termined to emancipate their party from
vicious rule and restore its moral vi
tality.
