REASON IN ANIMALS.

A Conclusion Which Involves Interesting
Psychological Consequences.
The trainer of the wonderful horses
that have been exhibited at the Grand
Opera House tells those who go to see
his animals that after large expe-
rience in brute education he does not
know where instinct leaves off and
reason begins; intimating that he does
not believe there is any difference be-
tween the two.
In this belief a large and growing
number of people agree with him. The
old distinctions between instinct" and
reason" that used to be set down
Dramatically in the text books, no
longer command unquestiOned assent.
As the education of animals by man
progresses, it seems more and more
probable that the difference between
the intelligence OF man and the intel
ligence of animals is a difference OF
degree only, not of kind. Some of
the tricks" of these performing horses
show a degree of thought. a perception
of the reasons and relations Of things
that would be a credit to child OF
three or four years old. The ''arith-
metical trick" wherein the horse ap-
pears to be able to add, subtract,
divide and multiply simple num-
bers, may not be in reality an
exercise of arithmetical reason on
the part of the horse, but things quite
as wonderful have been done by ami
mails. Sir John Lubbock taught his
poodle the alphabet and how to spell
simple words that specially interest
dogs, such as s.meat," ''bone," ''wa-
ter" etc. If dogs and horses pos
sessed the necessary organs OF articu-
lation, there is no doubt that they
could be taught to talk with some in
telligence, and it is certain that par
rots do in many cases perceive the re-
lations between the words they utter
and the things the words signify.
If it be conceded that animals pos
sess reasoning faculties the same in
kind as mans, that is concession
which involves interesting psychology
ical consequences. The materialist will
see in it proof that human existence
is only material and that death ends
all. The opposite of the materialist-
that is, the spiritualist- already
been driven, in most cases, to the ORR
entail esoteric doctrine of Immortality
for the lower animals also, as well as
for man. For the reverential people
who are neither lnaterialists nor spir-
itualists, the knowledge that the beasts
of the field are endowed with reason
like ours, capable, perhaps, of being
developed almost as high as ours, will
make but one more added to the mex
plicable wonders of creation. Louis

DRESS IN INDIA.

Description of the Three Garments Worn
by HindOO Ladies.
The dress of a Hindoo lady consists
of three pieces; skirt, sacque and the
cladar. or long shawl, which is worn
over the head and around the shout
ders, partially concealing the upper
part of the body.
The chaddr may be of muslin, lace or
silk gauze, and is often beautifully en-
broidered, and edged with tinsel or
gold lace. In the cold season, a warm
err chadar. of chintz or merino lined
with some soft pretty material, is worn.
While this garment is very effective
in concealing the person, and is grace
full and becoming, it is very inconven-
lent, as it is always slipping off and
making the hair rough. To avoid this
the wearer pastes her hair down with
cocoa-nut oil, which on the whole does
not much improve matters.
The sacque fits closely but not too
tightly, and there are no supports OF
whalebone or steel to keep it in place.
1t is made very simply, but always
with little bias border of contrast
ing color, and sometimes a little en-
broidery or gold lace. In the hot
season the sleeves are short, but
they are worn long in winter.
For all classes, male or female, the
sleeve is always made perfectly
straight across the width of the goods,
with a gusset under the arm; SO whine
the material is striped, the stripes go
around the arm.
The skirt is very full and is not
gored. 1t is drawn around the waist
by Melted cord with tassels at the
ends. It reaches to the floor, is with
out frills, but is often ornamented
very beautifully with embroidery hall
a yard or more in depth.
The women wear no shoes in the
house. The feet are kept very nice,
and the toes are adorned with rings.
Some of these are very large, with lit
tie bells on the top that tinkle with
every movement of the foot. The
soles of the feet, like the palms of the
hands, are stained red by using the
Juice of the henna or n,hends plant.
Gaudy shoes, covered with gold and
silver tinsel and having turned-bacb
toes, are slipped on the feet when the
lady goes out of the house. Heavy
rings are worn on the ankles, from
which sometimes little bells depend

The indications are that Hon.
Thomas D. Johnston is defeated
by very small majority, though
the definite result cannot at this
writing, be stated. According to
rumors and seemingly well au-
thenticated reports, the respec,
tive majorities are as follows:
Mr.. Ewart: Mitchell 600, Madi-
son 600, Henderson 395, Cherokee
50, Polk 100, Total 1745. For Mr..
Johnston, jackson 325, Swain 125,

vania yet to hear from. Rumors
yesterday stated Mr.. Ewart had
carried Pennsylvania by small
majority, while dispatch from
Shelby stated Rutherford had
gone democratic, without giving
particulars. We hope official re-
turns may change this to a GER
tainty for Mr.. Johnston, but indi-
cations are discouraging.
LATER.
Rutherford reported Is for
Johnston; Mitchell 450 for Ewart,
Transylvania 79 for Johnston
This indicates Johnston's election
by less than 100.

Cherokee gives Ewart 214 mas
jority Yancey gives Johnston
over $50; Mitchell gives Ewart
900, and Madison 613.
