was once the owner of a highly
educated chimpanzee. He knew all
the friends of the house; all our ac-
quaintances, and distinguished them
readily from strangers. Every one
treating h m kindly he was looked up
on as a personal friend. He never felt
more comfortable than when he was
admitted to the family circle and al
lowed to move freely around, and open
and shut doors, while his Joy was
boundless when he was assigned a
place at the common table, and the
guests admired his natural wit and
practical :okes. He expressed his sat-
isfaction and thanks to them by drum
ming furiously on the table. In his
numerous moments of leisure his IA
vorite occur alton consisted in inVesti-
eating carefully every Object in h S
reach; he lowered the door of the
stove for the purpose of watching the
fire. opened drawers, rummaged boxes
and trunks and played with their con-
tents, provided the latter did not look
suspicious to him. How easily sus-
pic on was aroused in his mind might
be illustrated by the fact that, as long
as he lived, he shrank with terror from
every common rubber-baI. Obedience
to my orders and attachment to my
person. and to everybody caring for
him, were among his cardinal virtues,
and he bored me with his persistent
wishes to accompany me. He knew
perfectly b time for retiring, and was
happy when some Of us carried him to
his bedroom like a baby. As soon as
the light was put out he would

was largely sweeteced and mixed with
rum. He sipped it from the cup, and
ate the dipped bread slices with a
spoon, having been taught not to use
the fingers in eating; he poured his
Wine from the bottle and drank it from
the glass. A man could hardly be-
have himself more geantlemanlike at
table than did that monkey.

Muscles and Brains.

One of the strongest arguments that
can be brought to bear against the
present ascendancy of the athletics in
our colleges is their damaging effect
upon the studies of the men making
up the teams. In the college offices,
the other day the register kindly
showed the records of the university
baseball mines of 1881 to 1884, in
elusive. The nine of '81 had an aver
age rank of 76 in class of 100. The.
nine of '82 averaged SO. The nine of
'S3 averaged SO, while the nine of '84
averaged "a. With the exception of
'81, each nine contained two or three
men of high standing, whose record
showed that man can study and play
ball as WELL Each nine showed also
two or three men standing in the mid
die of the class. Finally each nine
contained several professional ball
players with whom every examination
must have beenin the nature of lotte-
ry. Upon the whole, however, the figures.
were higher than we expected. and
were encouraging to one who believes
that running bases does not uuHt a
man for intellectual work. One of the
first duties of captain is to look after
the college standing of the men under
his charge. A few teams in good stand-
ing will silence the critics of college
athletics. Pri1scetonadn.

Hints on Summer Diet.

Milk is a very important summer
diet, but should be used in moderation

persons are advised to beat the milk a
few moments before drinking. That
treatment breaks the butter globules

drinks. instead of ice water. The ice

during the summer months, may be
entirely relieved BY using small guam

SLASHED ACROSS THE NECK.
A Ball Breaks Up in Row and Jacob Boss
Dangerously Wounded.

A social gathering of bakers, at Mozart Hall,
broke up this morning about o'clock in a row,
and in a fight between Jacob Boss, Al Lafert and
Philip Boyer the frst-named was frightfully cut
across the neck, and his wounds are doubtless of
! fatal nature
The bakers have a room in Mozart Hall, where
they frequently meet for social enjoyment. Last
night the society gave ball, and there were
about Two dozen couples present, each Of the
male members of the organization being accom-
panied by lady AL Lafert and Phillip Boyer,
two journeymen bakers, who were mem
bers of the society, called at
the ball with female companions and were ad-
mitted. after some parleying, upon the promise
being given that they would cause no disturb
ance. Several of the regular members strongly
protested against their being admitted to the
ball, because it was feared before the pleasures
Of the night were over they would cause trouble.
The dancing proceeded quietly until shortly
after midnight when the female companion of
Lafert became offended at something that Boss
said, and resented it by walking up to him
and slapping him in the face. Boss,
who besides being a member of the society, is
eject the woman from the room, and did succeed
in putting her on the outside. Boyer and Lafert
took the matter up, and row followed which
caused the gathering to break up in
general disorder. Boss undertook to
also eject Boyer and Lafert and dur
ing the struggle between the three men Boyer
drew knife, which he slashed across
the neck of Boss. The assailants
Of the wounded man then went down
stairs and easily succeeded in escaping, as no
one pursued them or made any effort
to capture them. Although realizing
that he had been badly cut, Boss
was not aware of the dangerous character of
his wound, and assembled the stairs unaided.
The blood gushed from his neck
in perfect stream, and his clothing
was saturated. When he was taken into light
ed room it was found that frightful looking
wound had been made, extending from under his
left ear across his neck, down below the
chin, the flesh gaping an inch apart, and pre-
senting a most sickening appearance.
It seemed miraculous that death was not
instantaneous. The flow of blood was
partly stopped by the immediate application of
towels, and Dr. Hodges, the police surgeon,
was called to attend the wounded man.
Stmulants were administered, and the
gaping wound was sewed, several stitches being
| required. 1t was discovered by the sur
geon's examination that the carotoid artery
was missed by, the knife only by
dangerous character, there is chance for the
recovery Of Boss.
The mon who did the cutting had not been ar
rested at o'clock this morning.

Mr.. Kelley, Again.

The Atlanta Constitution comment
ing on the fact that the organs make the
KELLEY affair the occasion for abusing
that gentleman and for indulging in de-
clarations about the " snubbing" that
has been given the Democratic party,
says:
$50 far as the Republican organs are
concerned, they appear to forget that it
is neither Mr.. Kelley nor the Demo-
cratic party that has been snubbed, but
the United States Government. Mr..
Kelley is a cultivated gentleman, capa-
BILE of representing his Government at
any court, and his rejection by two
foreign Governments is calculated to
make him person Of some Importance.
{" The refusal Of Italy to receive him
is explainable, but there can be no ex-
PLANTATION on the part of Austria. 1t is
not Dir. Kelley who is shubbed, but the
Government, and it is a Snub that
ought to receive the serious attention
OF those IN power
Correct. Mr.. KELLEY has been
neither snubbednor Inundated. Norhas
he lost anything in the estimation of
any one whose good opinion is worth
having. On the contrary, the dignifed
manner with which he has borne him
self during the entire complication has
made him many new friends and ad-
mirers. But, assuming that it is set
tied that Austria will not re-
ceiye Mr.. KELLEY, the United
States Government has been snub-
bed, and can, we think, save itself
from humiliation in the eyes Of the
world only by informing the Austrian
Minister at Washington that his room
is better than his company. The papers
that attempt to put Mr.. KELLEY in
the position Of Minister from the Demo-
cratic party to Austria and would Of

Austria make sad spectacle of them

"A Palpable Hit.

The Tribune catches it all around.
A veteran Of the Tenth Massachusetts,
regiment having urged the Springfield
Republican "to take up the cause of
10000 ex-rebel cripples and get them
put On the pension rolls right away"
the Republican makes the following
reply, which contains splendid hit:
THAT would never do. We should
be charged with raising the rebel yell
and leading that rebel raid on the
Treasury which always does duty so
invariably in political campaigns. There
is the New York Tribune now; if our
generous friend willapply to that paper,
he will perhaps find an advocate of his
cause. but it would never do for the
Republican, a mugwump, to have any
thing to do with it,"
OF course the Republican recognizes
that the South will never ask the United
States Government to pension ex-Con-
federste soldiers, that no ex-Confederate
soldier expects such a thing, and that
the question is one that does not call
for discussion. However, it closes its
article with q commentator of the ac-
ton Of the southern States that have
made some provision for their ex-Con-
federate veterans which is in striking
contrast with the howl raised by the
Stalwart organs when the North Caro-
lima ex-COniederate pension bill was
passed by the Legislature of that State.
1t says that it is "a great hardship that
a man should suffer disability for pub
lie cause (the cause of the whole South
following the flag of his State bravely
and sincerely" and that "no man
of spirit can object to the States
which went into the rebellion relieving
the needs Of men who were disabled in
the field" And yet sentiments like
these, from an Independent Republican
source, fail to convince the northern
allies of the Virginia Republicans
that it is about time to stop fighting
the war over.
