REMARKABLE REGENERATION.

d. Nj. FERRY & Co., the well known Seedsmen
of Detroit, Mich, announce that they are their
feet again, and ready and anxious to receive or
ders for seeds from every of their old custom
ers, and from as many new ones feel kindly
disposed toward them. They are in condition to
fill promptly every order with seeds of tie
best quality.
On January LIST, their immense warehouse was
destroyed by fire. 1t was filed with probably the
largest stock of assorted seeds ever gathered IN
der one roof. Their books and papers we're all
saved, and every person who had ordered seeds
-. will be supplied with MS usual st0..
They had large quantities of seeds in their war
houses on their seed farms, in the hands of Their
growers and not yet delivered, and on the way
from Europe, which together with their fully
stocked branch Seed Store in Windsor, Ontario,
close at hand and the free and vigorous use of
the telegraph and cable enabled them to secure
new stock ii remarkably short time.
Before the fire was subdued they Lad secured
new quarters and were devoting all their energies
to their customers interests. In 30 days from the
fire they were in perfect working order again.
When we consider the magnitude of their bust
ness the appalling destruction of property at the
most unfortunate season of the year, we doubt if
the annals of history furnish a of such rapid
recuperauon. Such energy deserves success,

A Horses Intelligence.

A Stroudsburg, Pa, correspondent
writes: A horse which has been in pos
session of the Peters family, in Bushkill,
Pa, for twenty years, and which was
famous for the almost human intelli-
gence he frequently displayed, died re-
Gently. During the last few years of
the horses life he had been permitted
to run at liberty, but was frequently
hitched to haul the dead bodies of cattle
or horses that died on the farm to a
place near the Delaware river, where
the carcasses were buried. The old horse
always stood near and watched the
burials with great interest and atten-
ton.
Some time ago this horse fell sick.
One day he was missed from his en-
closure where he was being cared for.
A search was made for him, and he was
finally found lying dead on the spot
where he had hauled the dead bodies of
so many of his kind. AS the place was
out of the way of the old horses usual
haunts, and as he had never been
known to go there except when driven
there with some dead animal, no one
who knew the horse believes that he did
not seek the spot feeling that he was
about to die, and to save the trouble of
hauling his dead body there to be
buried.
Among the instances told of his intel
ligence are the following: Late one
night members of the family that owned
him were awakened by great noise on
a piazza of the house. There was the
loud neighing of horse and the heavy
stamping on the piazza floor. One of
the inmates of the house went to the
door. There was the old horse stamp
ing and kicking and neighing with all
his power. The discovery was made
that an clubhouse near the dwelling was
on fire. The old horse had given the
alarm, and a disastrous fire was pre-
vented.
One spring there was flood in a
stream on the place. A blind horse be-
longing to neighbor got out of its
pasture, and, wandering down to the
swollen stream, in some way got into
the water. 1t swan about in circle
and was unable to reach either shore
No one could render any aid to the poor
animal, and there seemed no escape for
it from drowning. The old Peters horse
came along while the blind horse was
struggling in the water. and, after a
moments survey of the situation,
plunged in. He swan out to the blind
horse and headed it off as it turned to
make its usual circle, thus keeping its
head pointed staight for shore as it
swan. By heading the blind horse first
on one side and then on the other he
guided it safely to shore.

SOUTH Abingdon REPORTER: One OF
the most peculiar, and at the same time
truthful, anecdotes connected with the
late food, was related to Us by gentle
man residing in neighboring town.
He had a hen setting on - eggs in the
cellar of his house, aud thinking the
water might float biddy off, he left his
work and went home to look after his hen
expectation. Upon peering into the Gel
lar he found that there was about two
feet of water in it, and procuring pair
of long legged rubber boots he explored
for the hen With latern in hand, he
made strict search in and about the sew

hen could be obtained At last he dis
cerned biddy standing upon small

THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1886.


Recurring to the landing of the Wan
derer, the last American slave-ship, at
Jekyll's Island On our coast in 1854,
Judge Henry Tompkins says: Il met
an old negro in Chatham county,
where l was holding court, who was
brought over on the Wanderer. He
said to me: Dee got us wild lasses. Dee
glib us lasses, we lick UNI up. Dee spill
UNI on plank-we Grail up ZEE plank and
lick um lasses lack zee toll hog with
CON- Which goes to show that even in
its primitive shape taffy is very taking. "
Judge Tompkins, continuing the
casual conversation, said: at would be
interesting to know if any southern
slaves were spirited away over to Cuba
at the close of the war or thereabout
and sold in Cuban markets. There was
some talk of it at the time. a few deter
mined men might have easily punched
hundred negroes on the Florida coast
and shipped over in sailing vessels to
where each slave would have brought
good prices in gold.
II know a man." he went on to say,
who actually saw few years since the
slaves in the possession OF Tiger-Iall,
the Seminole Chief, who lives in the
Florida swamps. 1t was Judge Faux
ner of New York. He and a party of
friends were in an unexplored lake one
day, when they saw a long dugout,
holding four Indians and three negroes,
issue from an inlet and skirt along the
lake. The negroes were rowing, and
the Indians lying lazily on skins, which
they were carrying to market. They
accosted the chief, who told them frank
ly they were his 'niggers.' He was told
with particularly the story of. emanci-
patton. He replied:
Ugh! Injun niger no freer and,
motioning to his slaves, they Bonded to
the oars, and the dugout glided into an
other inlet and was lost to view
Tiger-Tail seems to be quite an origi-
nal old Seminole. A sewing-machine
agent drifted into his dominion one day
and set up machine in Tiger-TaiP S
tent. The old chief, with great deliber-
alton, watched him put it through its
PAGES. He then arose, brushed the agent
one side, and seating himself, adjusted
his feet in the treadle. He started the
wheel and found that he could make it
60. He sewed up one piece of cloth and
down another and then gravely and
critically examined his work. At last
he appeared to be satisfied that it was
all right He then turned quietly to
his wives, who had watched the proceed
ings with interest. and kicked them,
one after the other, out of his tent. -

What Mr.. Gladstone thinks Of Evo-
luton.

And now one word on the subject of
Evolution. | can not follow Mr.. Hulk
ley in his minute acquaintance with In
dian sages, and l am not aware that
Evolution has place in the greater
number of the schools of Greek philoso-
ply. Nor can | comprehend the rapid
ty with which persons of authority have
come to treat the Darwinian hypothesis
as having reached the final stage of de-
monstration. To the eye of looker-on
their pace and method seem rather too
much like a steeplechase. But this may
very well be due to their want of apprO-
pirate knowledge and habits of thought.
For myself, in my loose and uniformed
way of looking at Evolution, feel only
too much biased in its favor, by what |
conceive to be its relation to the great
argument of design.
Not that / share the horror with
which some men of science appear to
contemplate a multitude of what they
term sudden" acts of creation. All
things considered, a singular express
sion; but one, L suppose, meaning The
act which produces, in the region of na-
ture, something not related by an I'M
broken succession of measured and
equable stages to what has gone before
it. But what has equality or brevity of
stage to do with the question how far
the act is creative? l fail to see, or in
deed am somewhat disposed to deny,
that the short stage is less creative than
the long, the single than the manifold.
the equable than the jointed OF gradu-
ated stage. Evolution, is to me, series
with development. And like series in
mathematics, whether arithmetical or
geometrical, it establishes in things an
unbroken progression; it places each
thing Gf only it stand the test of ability
to live) in distinct relation to every
other thing, and makes each a witness
to all that have preceded it, a prophecy
of all that are to follow it. 1t gives to
the argument of design, nov called the
theological argument, at once a wider
expansion, and an augmented tenacity
and solidity of tissue-W. E. Gladstone,

The late Dr. Samuel Wolocott, ths
eminent Congregaiionalist minister, Ill b e
later life wrote many hymns, and has If
on record an account of bow he began to
do SO. He was fifty six years old, ano
had never put two rhymes together, and
had taken 1t for granted that he was a.
incompetent to write q hymn, or even a
stanza, as to work miracle. 'However
he says, 81 res olved that ] would try f"
write hymn of five stauZae, and proceed
ed to plan it, precisely as l would plan a
sermon. / said, the first stanza Shall lot
recognition of God the Father; the
second a recognition of Christ the Re
deemer; the third prayer to God the
Father; the fourth prayer to Christ the
Redeemer; the fifth shall blend the tive
IN one address. A more perfect recipe
for wooden stanzas it would be difficult
TO frame" The result was the hymn be-
ginning Father, own Thy voice, and
the author was much surpri ed to find
be had written what could actually be
sung. Many of his hymns have become
favorites throughout the country.
