burgh Dispatch, places the buffalo very
low, indeed, in the standard of mental
capacity, and makes, this stupidity the
cause of his determination. But If the
monarch of the plains lacked intellect,
he certainlyQd did not want for affection.
The manner in which the bull buffalo
protected the, calves of the herd is a
glorious example Of paternaf instinct
An army surgeon related the following
instance to Mr.. Hornaday: HE was in
the camp one evening when his atten-
ton was attracted by the curious action
of little knot ofsix or eight buffaloes.
Approaching sufficiently near to see
clearly, he discovered that this little
knot was made up of bulls, standing in
q close circle, with heads outward,
while in concentric circle at some
twelve or-.fiftecn PAGES distant sat at
least dozen large gray wolves Except
ing man, the most dangerous enemy Of
the buffalo,. The doctor determined to
watch the performance. After few
moments the knot broke up, and still
keeping in compact mass, started on
trot for the main herd some half a milo
off. To his very great aston shin emit,
the doctor now saw that the central and
controlling figure of this mass was a
poor little calf. so newly born as scarcely
to be able to walk. After going fifty or
hundred PAGES the calf laid down, tho
bulls disposed themselves in a circle as
before, and the wolves who had trotted
along on each side of their retreating
supper, sat down and licked their chops

fathers did their whole duty to their
offspring, and carried lit safely to tho
herd. The buffalo, II taken when
/ young, submits with surprising readi-
ness to the restraints Of captivity Mr..
Hornaday declares buffalo calves make
excellent pets.
