Inssrsoll and the Preachers.

A man who was q fellow passenger of Col.
Robert G. Ingersoll at the time OF the occur
renee cells the New York Tribune, how that
famous agnostic entertained q lot Of Methodist
preachers on railway train in Illinois on one
occasion. The colonel was in very social
mood. and had been spinning yarns to the MARIA
tor of this story, when the train was boarded at
Vandslia by a number of the reverend brethren
who had been attending some UNCONVENTIONAL
gathering. Immediately an acquaintance was
scraped. Col. Ingersoll, without revealing his
identity, soon had the entire party hanging
about him enjoying his flow of wit. Men
laughed till they cried who looked as though
they had not cracked smile for
twenty years. At Marshall the party left
with many expressions of regret. They all
told US who they were where they had been,
etc, but Col. In .ersoll was not equally conf
Dental. Finally one good old brother asked his
name. InRersoll handed him his card He
looked at It, and let it drop as though it burned
his fingers. His jaw fell and he looked as
though he had seen ghost. All off for Mar
shallr yelled the porter, and they hustled out
They congregated on the platform, and the old
man who had dropped the card whispered
hoarsely: Brethren, we've been a talkin' T.
that awful atheist, Bob InGersollr Lord have
mercy u.s. calculated pous brother, as his
chin dropped down behind his collar The
younger members Of the party appeared to
rather enjoy the confusion of their elders, and
as the train pulled out heard one of them say:
Well men and brethren they do say that the
devil is not SO black as he is painted"

Watsor's Mistake,

Mr.. Tom Watson must be IN an extremely
nervous condition. What other explana-
ton is there of his conduct in sending out
runners to call TO his aid men from two or
three counties on the plea that his life and
the life Of negro who had placed himself
under his protection were in dangerl The
evidence is overwhelming that no one had
any idea of molestlng him or the negro.
There has been no satisfactory evidence
submitted, as far as we have seen, that there
was conspiracy to harm him or the negro
or that anybody desires to injure either of
them.
The people Of Thomson have a griev-
ance against Mr.. Watson, and they will
make him feel their dspleasure on election
day. By his conduct he has given the i'm
preston that they are either lawless or
wink at lawlessness If there were good
reasons for this impression they wouldn't
complain Of it, but feeling that they have
been placed in a false position they are nat
urally very indignant
The testimony they produce in refutation
Of the charges which Mr.. Watson makes
seems to be conclusive. The persons i'm
plicated by him have come forward with
prompt denials.
The people of Thomson have done all
they can to place their community right be-
fore the public, and unless Mr.. Watson sup-
ports his position more strongly than he has
yet the conclusion must be that Mr.. Watson
got up sensational scare without sufficient
cause.
Mr.. Watson has been under a great strain
for number OF weeks aud that, together
with the prospect of defeat, probably makes
him nervous and suspicious. The assassiua-
ton business was mistake that will likely
cost him q good many votes.

The Animal Sense of Humor.

IL you care to have your good stories of the
humor Of animals capped, here are two or
three more, says the London Spectator. re-
member, in a description of India or Ceylon
some forty years ago, story Of al Englishman
who had monkey. Looking out Of his window
one day he saw his cook getting his fowl ready
for boiling. while the monkey lay on the ground
| shamming death, and party OF crows stood at
a little distance, divided between the desire for
the kitchen offal and the fear Of the possibly
shamming monkey. ore crow, more advent
| urous than the rest, came within the magic
distance and was instantly in the clutch of the
monkey. At the same moment the cook, hav-
| Ing finished trusting the fowl, put 1t into the
| pot and went away. The monkey plucked his
crow as he had just seen the cook pluck the
fowl, took the fowl out OF the pot, put the crow
| In and retired with his exchange. When the
cook came back and saw the fowl left prepar-
| Ing for his masters luncheon turned black, he
was. as may be supposed. struck black with
terror az this manifest Intervention OF the evil
one.
Another story, some forty or fifty years ear
her. Is OF monkey which my uncle brought TO
London from India. On one occasion he was
seen playing with the ink, perhaps writing
letter, In his masters bed room. He upset the
Ink, and thereupon he went TO the chest OF
I drawers, opened a drawer, took out a shirt, and
wiped up the ink with it. On another day he
was sitting in my grandmother's drawing room
1T wAs In Hill street, when another lady came
IN and sat down. The monkey, after watching
her for some time from the back of the casir on
which he was perched, snatched the visitors
bonnet from her head, put it on his own. and
dened all attempts to catch him and rescue the
bonnet. At last, the window being open, he
lenped out upon tho lamp post, and there sat,
sharing the delight of the passers-by. looking
as Butcher must have looked when, years after
he appeared on the field Of Waterloo in an old
lady's bonnet.
In these instances the love of mischevous
practical joking is manifest; it is probable If
not so certain in a story of an eminent natural
ISL Il forget his nance who was hoping to de-
velop the Intelligence OF monkey to whose
education he was devotng himself. One day he
saw with delight that the monkey was sitting at
the other end OF tho room, turning over the
leaves Of q valuable book on entomology and
looking at the plates with apparent interest
But on going nearer he saw, with diSmay, that
the monkey was turning over the plates in order
that, when he came to a particularly large beetle
or butterfly, he might pick it out and eat it, As
the paper could not have had nice taste, |
think he may have been actuated rather by the
run OF the thing than by a mere depraved ap-
petite. Perhaps he was verifying the like
method of learning among the philosophers of
