PROF WELCKERs, of Halle, has made
an alarming discovery at Weimar. 1t
is that the body buried in the princely
tomb at Weimar, and heretofore be-
ieved to be the body of Schiller, is not
Schiller's body. His proof of the as
sertions is that the skull of the body in
this tomb does not correspond with the
mask of Schiller's face taken after
death He intends, it is said, to ask
permission of the Grand Duke of Sake
Weimer to make excavations in Schill-
er's first burying- place, hoping to find
there the real remains of the poet.

HERE is an illustration of the way in
which a British Attorney General has
to work in these days. Sir Henry
James was in his Office early one Thurs
day morning. He had to meet the
grand committee at IL, and was en-
gagged there until 4. He was in the
House from 4 80 until long after mid
night, plotting the Corrupt Practices
bill He was again in the House on
Friday from 2 until Z. In addition to
all this he had his own legal practice to
attend to and the Government to adj
wise on important questions. This is
the pace that kills, as some of Sir Henry
James predecessors have found to their
cost.

 feariessness. My next neighbor has beau tiful black setter-d dog. put Jumbo near him. The gull quickly took the dog by thel hose It was the dog that was scared. ManyI times his acts have almost forced me to be- < tieve that he possesses limited reasoning faculty. But as Mivart denies reason to thej eat, so must deny, fear, reason to ourJ strange pet from Maine. Mivart claims that all the factions performed by a cat are suchj as may be understood to take place withouts ieliberation or self consciousness" If it bel true that all the mental phenomena displayeds by 8 cat are capable of explanation without the aid of the truly rational faculties which we find in ourselves, then this bird, fullyS aqualing the cat in mental power, sensibiys sognizes external things, but ''does not intel E lectually perceive their being.' He feels3 himself existing but does not recognize thats existence. He feels relations between ob- : jects, but does not apprehend them as rela- { ions He remembers, but does not recollect. He feels and expresses emotions, but doess not advert to them. He seeks pleasure, butt 1oes not deliberately make pleasure his aim.
 All this which Mivart teaches may be true, out find it hard to believe while I studys ihe knowing bird, that at this moment { stands on one leg in meditative mood, ands apparently wondering why his dinner is de- <

The Instincts Of Strange Pet. ; D. A. Goodsell, D. D., in the Christian Advc

cate.
 For some years past have been deeply in
 terested in the subject of animal instincts
 These endowments are so various, in some bases so rich, amounting almost to 8 sixth ssense, in all cases so wonderful, that they
 have held me to their study by growing
 Fascination. We call the brutes and birds
 the lower animals, but are beginning to learn
 that some of them are as well furnished for their careers as man is for his.
 The instincts of the domestic animals can
 be studied only with great difficulty. Csts
 and dogs, for instance, are for 8 time blind
 and incapable of co -ordinating the move-
 ment of their limbs, and wholly dependent gon the parent for the support of life. When Farther advanced, it is not easy to keep them
 from their kind, and to determine what is in7 stinctive and what the result of imitation.
 In the case of domestic fowls the difficulties
 are the same, and in point of alertness and
 Intelligence the domssticated fowl is not to be compared with his wild relatives. It has been, therefore, something of puzzle to decide upon the particular beast or bird
 which would give the best and plainest rel
 suits. Two or three years ago I concluded that if 1 could capture young sea-gu1l, he might give the best results in meeting the soonditions of localized and separate investi1 fgation. But the newly matched bird is not tessily found in this latitude, and have had to wait until this years vacation came to find flQe DlrQ WA0teQ.
 On July Fist went to the Duck Islands, two small and rocky lodges which lie twelve miles at sec from Southwsst Harbor, Mt. Desert, Maine.

On the lodges beyond the gulls layl their disproportionatelyl large eggs, and there, just matched, but pert and active, found the subject wanted. I am particular to men] Ition the date, July Fist, as it must be kept in mind to appreciate the amazing growth of the little downy ball I caught that day It is inow little more than three months past, yet he is of the weight and size of 8 large duck, with wings nearly three feet in spread, and standing much higher than duck. When) found he was little larger than newly ihatched Brahma chicken, was covered with Iexquisitely soft gray down, had long black bill hooked at the end, beautiful blue eye sthe slimmest of legs, and very delicatelyl twebbed feet.

 ]unif smoked at the rate of pipeful everys twenty minutes. Between the sixth anda 'eventh pipes he took rest for eight min 1tes, and at the end of the fifth hour took as est for thirteen minutes. A longer rest wass
 aken by him at six o'clock, to allow for sup per, at which twenty-one minutes were con- E 1umed. Resuming after supper, Cunf puffedE with greater rapidity for awhile, but soon be- { gan to call for water, with which he rinseds lis mouth out several times. His tongue wass

Cunif's tonguef and the roof of his mouth were blistereds badly, and he acted as though he was sorryE he attempted the feat Anderson, on thes other hand, smoked easily and averagedt twenty four minutes to 8 pipe for the frstx two hours. After filling his pipe six timesN he rested for five minutes. At the end ofS his fifth hour he took another rest for fveE minutes. At six o'clock he stopped for sup-N per. After smoking necessarily then for { three hours and forty minutes he took a rest < of twelve minutes. As the hour of ten p. m. approached he was as fresh as when he be- < gan.
