CLEvLANp, ONO, October 2.--At
| O'Clock this afternoon the twelfth
incendiary fire in Cleveland within
twenty-four hours was started in the
lumber yard of the Cleveland Saw
Mill e. Lumber Company, in the
heart Of the great lumber district on
''the fats" A strong wind carried
the flames eastward through the
yards, destroying 100000 feet of
lumber and about fifty feet of the
trestle of the Connotton Valley rail-
way, cutting off trains from access to
the depot. The fire was checked
with the loss of $4,000. About
4 o'clock small boy standing near
the passenger station of the Connot-
ton Valley road observed a man
creeping stealthily up to baggage
car and passenger coach standing on
a side track. Shortly after he no.
ticed flames issuing from the rear
coach and gave the alarm. A loco
motive was backed up and drew the
cars into the open space, where they
were completely gutted, with a loss
of only 1000. the cars being narrow
gauge The entire department was
at the lumber fire, ard had the
flames reached the depot, large
district densely filed with wooden
buildings must have been swept
bare.
Towards 5 o'clock fire vas dis
covered in the Greene block, ST. Clair
street, but was extinguished without
damage. The kindlings used were
two packing boxes saturated with
coal oil.

Wheat at So a Bushei.

HUNTINGDON, Sept. IS james
Patterson has introduced new va
riety of wheat into the upper end
of this county and other parts OF
the State, and has made small for
tune in the enterprise. He brought
the grain here last Summer and
sold to farmers from one to five
bushels for seed. This season he
returned and bought their crops,
paying them 81 20 bushel, or about
thirty cents more than market price.
and took it to the Western counties,
where he had previously obtained
orders for it, and delivered it at s.
bushel. 1t is known as the Golden
Russian wheat, is ofsuperior quality
very prolific and large in the grain
and weighs several pounds more to
the bushel than ordinary wheat.

John w. Garrets's viii.

BALTIMORE, Nh, October 1.-The
will of the late John w. Garrett, dat
ed at Deer Park. August s, 1884, was
filed in the Orphans Court to-day.
All his estate is left to his children,
subject to the following trusts: To
his son Robert Garrett the testator
gives his dwelling, No. II Mount
Vernon place; to his son Thomas
Harrison Garrett the Evergreen prop
erty, in Baltimore county to his
daughter Mary Elizabeth the dwell
ling on Monument and Cathedral
streets, the country house on the Hill
len road and the cottage at Deer
Park, with the furniture, plate, pic
lures, etc, in each, and his horses
and carriages used for family pur-
poses. His sister Elizabeth q. Gar
rett receives the dwelling No. so
Mount Vernon place. The will then
provides that 100000 in securities
shall be set aside by the Trustees in
such manner as to produce the year
ly sum of $1,000, which shall be paid
yearly to aid in improving the con-
dition of the poor in the city of Bal
timore. He names the Baltimore
Association for the improvement OF
the Condition of the Poor, sc long as
in the judgment of the Trustees it is
efficiently managed, as proper me-
dium for the distribution of this
charity.
Mr.. Garrett further directs that
out of the net income of his estate
the sum Of $4,000 shall be devoted
annually to such objects OF benevo-
lence, TO educational purposes. to aid
virtuous and struggling persons, and
to such works of public utility as are
calculated to promote the happiness
usefulness and progress OF society,
said amount to be appropriated to
the furtherance of such objects and
to the accomplishments of such ends
in the Judgment and at the discre-
ton of his trustees. He directs that
the contributions to the purposes
named shall continue during the
lifetime of his children and their
heirs. if the condition of the estate
will then Justify the appropriations.
Mr.. Garrett leaves 10000 shares OF
the common stock of the BALTIC. and
Ohio Railroad (Which does not in
clude the large holdings of the firm
of Robert Garrett & Sons, now COM
posed of his two sons. to be held by
his trustees for the space of 20 years,
dating from his death. The income
is to be divided equally between his
three children or their heirs, and at
the end of twenty years the stock is
to be similarly divided. The city
stock, that held by the Johns Hop
kins University and his own, he says
will control the road in the interests
of B fillmore. and his children, who
are his trustees, are requested to car
ry out the line of policy which, he
believes, has accomplished great re-
suits of benefit fo- the city and State.

Losses by fire.

PITTsRURq, Pa, September 30.-A
most destructive fire occurred at
Natrona twenty miles from this city
on the West Pennsylvania Railroad
at an early hour this morning, by
which the Pennsylvania Self Manu-
featuring Company's acid manufac-
tory at that place was damaged 10
the extent OF 100000. The fire
started at midnight in the vitriol
department and before the flames
were subdued the building, 230 feet
long, 50 feet wide and 50 feet high,
together with the valuable machinery
was entirely destroyed. Fortunate
ly the night was calm or the destruc-
ton would have been much great

Chilian Traits.

The Chilians are certainly the
most hospitable people | ever met.
They will put all they have at your
disposal, and take patriotic pride
in impressing you with all that
their country can boast OF. One
must attribute the lack of hetels, il
would seem, to this genuine spirit
of hospitality. In the country towns
one is always a welcome guest at
the governors house; and at the
mines, or on the hacinda, a ready
cheer is found at the casa grande-
a large, club-like establishment"
so called, where the superintendent
and his immediate assistants eat,
sleep and find amusements to re-
lieve the dull monotony of outside
surroundings. 1t would seem that
to know one Santiaguian is to know
and enjoy the kindness of all his
friends, and to have been a guest at
the establecimiento is to have learn
ed pages of Chilian character and
Chilian institutions. Next to their
amiablity and hospitality, the pat
riotism of the people stand out in
bold relief. You nave but TO cast
your eye down any one otthe streets
and the long array of flag stats that
Stick like barber poles from every
house are in evidence of this pirit.
The streets are named after the he
roes in the recent and early wars Of
the republic. The battered boilers
and turrets OF the captured Huascar
have been carried high up on the
hill of Santa Lucia as standing re-
malnder of Chilian heroism and
during.
The civil holidays are almost as
numerous as religious. Three days
of celebration are set apart to COM
memorate Chili's Fourth of july u
and the national tri-color is waving
before every door for fully two
thirds of the year. The soldiers
are fit representatives of the re-
markable pluck, the undaunted per-
severance and the intense patriotism
of the people. The story Of the
late war fully illustrates this. Some
of the incidents of that war can
hardly be surpassed for bravery and
daring. The Chilian soldier bears
the impress of French influence IN
his whole dress snd carriage, but
he has that unmistakable sang-froid
of the creole which would lead one
to imagine that he was thoroughly
discontented with his profession.

Funeral Of Mr.. Garret.

BALTIMORE, Sept, 2S.-The fu-

to-day. The services were of the
simplest character. The remains
were taken to Greenmount cemetery,

wards OF l50 carriages. Within and
outside the cemetery walls fully
1000 persons were gathered to pay
their last tribute of respect to the
deceased.

we have cited in plants as are
seen in many animal organl.
cations.
We see no good reason why we
should not claim intelligence for an
finals. There are large numbers OF
auadrupeds and bipeds that show
more intellect in some directions
than is shown in the lower orders OF
those beings who closely resemble
the human form.
Probably animals show more in
telligence in building, repairing and
taking care of the houses in which
they live than in any other way.
Nearly all birds build nests. There
are two exceptions to this rule, now
ever. the cuckoo and the cowblrd I:
they lay their eggs in the nests made
by other birds. and they suffer other
birds to rear their young. which Is
certainly very unfair upon the part
of nature. A robin must have pret-
ty hard time to raise brood of four
little ones. When food is scarce and
long distance from the nest, and
when she has two little orphan cow
birds added to her family, she has
no time to spare, and often she is
handicapped by the absence of her
husband, who is off probably on a
musical party with some other = tel-
lows" or it may be that poor Mrs.
Robin is a widow, her mate having
been shot by some heartless pot
hunter.
The various and peculiar acts of
birds show instinct of the highest
quality-that is, if it be proper to
call it instinct. There are other an
imals that undoubtedly exhibit res-
son, memory, invention, motive, in
genuity, viii and gratitude. This
last shows that they have moral
sense. If then these premises are
granted, we are driven to the conclu-
sion that animals reason and think,
and in many cases show the same
evidences of reason and free lntelli-
gence that are observable in human
nature.
1t has been shown very often that
dogs, horses, elephants, birds, and
even pigs can be taught to do most
wonderful things, and we have any
number of cases which may be
brought forward to show free intel
lectual ability on the part of wild
and other animals.
Dr. Kane gives US an account of
his old dog Grim, who was once an
active and vigorous sledge dog, but
in time his legs became covered
with ringbones and warts. When
the other dogs were being harnessed
for a journey, old Grim could not
be found he used to hide in an old
barrel. He was always found to be
quite lame when the sledge and
team were in camp, but when they
were off on a journey Grim was in
good condition, and not At all leme.

love. All THE artistic display is
made to tempt the victim to certain
death. Around the brilliant rubies
and diamonds there is a oolorless
glue. The moment the feet or wings
of any creeping thing touch this
substance the fate is death. Their
vain struggles only bind them more
firmly. The leaf now closes upon
them and the prickiy points pierce
their bodies like the fangs OF tigers
or the talons Of an eagle.
But the great destroyer is the
pitcher-plant Nowhere can there
be found such death-dealing instru-
ment. or one more ingeniouslv fitted
for its work. The leaves form into
tubes. at the bottom of which there
are the secret pools of death. Into
these the unfortunate victims are
hurled. Once down, they are lost.
Bot if by chance some insect more
resolute and stronger than his fel-
COWS makes his way up the inside OF
the tube-a part of which is smooth
and he may think he is about to
gain his liberty, the illusion is soon
dispelled. The prisoner is met with

sharp hairs bar his progress. and he
can only fall lack on his final execu-
zion. The machinery of these plants
is perfect-no human agency can
surpass it. They do their work like
thinking beings. They require no
teaching. Thers is an intelligent,
vitalizing and energetic force organ
izing and perfecting all these things.
We cannot take the ground that
ali we see is only the effect of law.
1t is more reasonable to assume that
there is intelligence behind law and
matter. The intelligence shown in
plants cannot be denied. Indeed,

sion that the same manifestations of
