Curious Show of Bovine Intelligence. Frank Wilkeson in the Providence Sunday Star. l

Curious Show of Bovine Intelligence. Frank Wilkeson in the Providence Sunday Star
 1 owned sixty-fve acres of bottom land where the coarse, blue-join grass grew in canebrake-ike rankness. My Texas COWS chose this dense cover in which to bring forth their young. One spring I knew that there were over twenty calves continually hidden in the grass on this bottom Every morning COW after COW would slip out of the herd and disappear in the tall grass. After an absence of an hour or two they would re- turn to the herd. In the late afternoon they would again disappear, to rejoin the herd just about corralling time. When the calves were three or four days old their mothers would bring them out into the herd, and their places in the grass would be occupied by younger calves. Once desired to see the young calves and I rode into the grass to hunt for them. After an assiduous search found one calf lying prone on the earth, with it's head and neck extended and pressed into the thick mat of old grass that lay on the ground. The little creature g lay perfectly quiet watching my horse. It did not so much wink it's dark eyes when dismount- ed and extended my hand toward it. I leaned over it. It watched me intentl9 but did not stir. I dropped my hand on it's head. Instantly it was on it's feet and call ing loudly for protection, calling that the wolf it's mother had told of had come. I heard twenty mother cows below in answer to the ealfs call that they were coming. The dry grass snapped and cracked in all direc- tions as the maddened COWS rushed wildly to their young. mounted my horse and quick ly rode away from that spot. Each COW ran in direct line to the place where it's calf was hidden, The entire herd rushed into the cover to do battle for the calf What an up1oar there was! Cows, steers, bulls, all calling loudly to one another in angry, exci- ted tones. I had foolish setter dog with me and he Lad to mix himself into the trouble. The first COW that SEW him bel lowed to the others that she saw the wolf. They all pursued him and he, doglike, fled 1 to me for protection, and my own cows gave me brisk chase as gafloped over the prai- rie. The herd were excited and angry for hours. I do not believe that young calf has particle of scent, and I also believe that the COWS know this to be so At any rate they are willing to leave their offspring out of the corrals over nighs in wolf-infest- ed country, once they have hidden them and bade them be still.

STOP! THAT WILL DO /!

We simply meant to say we had now begun to make our goods cheaper in order to get all the summer goods sold in time. Cheap enough to make sure of all being sold before the end of the season.
 But we thought we would try little of the highly intelligent style of advertising now so com mon in this good old town, and we copied some of the brightest gems. Our goods will not be any cheaper on that account. Nobody's goods are any cheap CT because they advertise in that way.
 OUR GOODS WILL BE MADE CHEAP ENOUGH TO SELL THEM, and to sell them in the face of the keenest competition posSi- ble in New Haven.
 It is a we'll known fact that our stock is usually cleaner of old goods-that means, is more effectually "cleared out" every season than any other of the size in town.

A SilYer.ShOd Horse.

LPittshurg Letter to the Philadelphia News.l
 A visitor to the Westinghouse stables, in the East End, sees among an array of hand some blooded horses one of peculiar beauty of color and carriage. Casual notice is quickened into close inspection when it is noticed that the horse never moves. He is dead. Though ifeless, he is perhaps the only horse in America to-day which wears a full set of solid silver shoes,
 Mrs. George Westinghouse is the leader of East End fashionable life. Her dresses are the costliest her receptions the most bril- liant and her turnout the finest in the city Her husband is said to have settled an in come of S150,000 per year pin money upon her. She is a lndy of artistic taste, and a year ago she decided upon team of cream co1ored horses with flowing, snowy manes Such horses are as rare as they are beautiful, but Mrs. Westinghouse, nothing daunted, set about to procure them. Four agents were employed and for months the country was secured and stables and stock farms were ransacked to find the silver-tipped horses.
 At last the team was turned over to their delighted mistress, They cost but three thousand dollars, but the expense of getting them was enormous. Mrs. Westinghouse early in the of her new acquisition, be- came concerned as to what she should do if one of them should die. The agents who secured the first pair We're sent out to find a third. They were successful and the three beauties were soon on friendly terms.
 The strangest part of the story is perhaps that what Mrs. Westinghouse feared, the death of one of the original pair, occurred but two weeks after the third one had been acquired. So much had Mrs. Westinghouse become attached to the horse that she or dered him sent to New York to a ell-known taxidermist to be stuffed. There he was treated to silver shoes and given as near as possible look of recognition, so that when his mistress enters the stables none appears more glad to see her than he.
 The horse is groomed, blanketed and at tended carefully as if alive. His bed is always made and his manager always full of hay

THE DOLPHIN.

THE DOLPHIN.
 Attorney-G General Garland's decision that the government is not bound to accept the Dolphin is 8 very important one. It lays down the broad principle that the statute of Congress, and not the plans of the advisory board, must be complied with, and that if the secretary of the navy thinks that the re- quirements of the statute have not been met for the money already paid on account.
 The attorney general holds that upon the facts submitted the secretary of the navy cannot accept the Dolphin because of her in- sufficient speed and strength. And the con- tract is held to be invalid because it contain ed clause "intended to relieve the contrac- tor of responsibility for the power of the en- zines and, as necessary consequence, for the speed of the ship" This clause vitiates the whole. Moreover, MT. Garland does not hesitate to express the opinion that the Gin tention'' of the clause was to make it feasible to force defective vessel upon the govern ment.
 Mr. Garland's decision that the contractor must build vessels up to the requirements of G4C 10" oPPAOPAAo oAAo @A~SSS, AoS"-S- standing any inferior standard set up by the advisory board, will be followed by suit on the part of Secretary Whitney to recover the money already paid to MT. Roach. This can be had, if his suit is successful, by with holding the money still due on the Chicago, Boston and Atlanta, the vessels still under construction by Roach, but naval officer of prominence, who has followed the course ot the advisory board, says that on the same ground on which the attorney general pro. nounces the Dolphin contract violated, Sec retary Whitney will have ample ground fol rejecting the three larger vessels. He says that at the contract price it is impossible fol Roach to build such ships as the law calls for, and this fact has been known at tht Navy department ever since the vessels were begun.
 MT. Roach and his friends of course fec that he has been treated badly, and as he has much at stake in the matter, he will doubtless carry it to the Supreme court It will be in teresting to watch the contest. But where ii our navy2

Knav1sh Russian Prince.
From London Life

IrEOM LOuuOA lIiI0l
 There is a great deal of talk in St. Peters burg society, and much surprise is expressed concerning the acquittal of Prince Boris Ga litzin, who has just stood his trial for fraud and other malpractices. The prince is a priyy councillor, a scion of a noble family and once very wealthy. Formerly hs was an officer in the Emperor's body guard, and squandered his money at enormous rate Just before retiring into private life he mar ried lady of high birth, who was, moreover in great favor at court. On three successive occasions he occupied the important post of marshal of the nobility, and he was also member of the Provincial government. Since 1876 the prince has, so to speak ''lived by his wits," and in 1878 he started, in conjunction with civil engineer and merchant, both of doubtful antecedents, a company for the con- struction of railways, which was called ''Prince Boris Galitzin & Company" It was the affairs of this association which have just been subjected to sitting. In the course of the trial it came out that, although the com pany's office consisted of one room only, and the multifarieus duties of chief director. manager, secretary, &c., were discharged by mere lad, stpersopal expenses" reached the respectable sum of f15 day. But the gulls would not continue to suhsidize the princes company forever. He made an effort to get capital subscribed in France and oEner countries, but in vain. Money for 'spersonal expenses" came in very slowly, and at last the prince took to obtaining supplies from people on the plea that he would give them lucrative employment, which employment, it IS needless tq gay, was not forthcoming. When the game was discovered to be up, many of the princess confederates managed to disappear, but he had no time to do so, or perhapr thought that his influence was strong enough to preserve him from the clutches of the criminal law. He received large sums of money in many instances. Whenever he bought anything, from a house to 8 fur great-coat, he contlived to pay for it in shares of his bubble company. In the result, however, g sympathetic jury acquitted way of gaining an honest living" which may recommend itself to him,
