"A Monkeys Linguistic Achievement.
II. l.. Garner. in the ApriI Forum,

n MONKEYS Linguistic AcHieSemeht'
H. L. Garner in the April Forum.
In the loom where the monkeys are
kept by dealer in Washington there
is cage containing young white
face cebus OF more than average intel
ligence. On the same shelf and in an
adjacent cage is tho little capuchin
Puck. They can easily see and hear
each other through tho open wire par
tition which separates them, there be-
ing no other obstruction. have visit
ed Puck for many weeks almost
daily, and always supply him with
food after requiring him to ask me for
1t in his own language. Having but
little interest in the white-face, who is
very shy OF me, ] rarely showed him
the slightest attention until within the
past few weeks, when | observed him
trying to utter the capuchin sound for
food, which always secured for Puck
banana or some nuts.
Seeing that Puck was always reward
cd for utterlng this sound, the little
white-face began to try it. and as soon
as | discovered his purpose began to
reward him In the same way. and have
thus seen one step taken by mCnkey Y
in the mastery of another tongue. At
first his effort was quite poor and
could not at once decide what he
meant; but practice has developed in
him great proficiency, and now he
speaksit almost as plainly as the
capuchin himself,
This was :doubly interesting 20
to me in view OF the fact that had
long believed that no monkey ever ac-
quired the sounds OF another species.
i frankly admit that this one instance
Is alone sufficient to cause me TO re-
ccde from q conclusion rendered un-
,tenable by such certain proof, the CO.
gency of which is emphasized by the
short time in which 1t has been accom-
plished; but l still regard it as rule
that monkeys do not do so.

The Pau.Pau Patch.

The following poem was sent to
the LEDGER by friend. It's object
is 10 arouse sympathy and impart
emphasis to the duties that Christian
people owe to convicts in their midst
and not to criticise our penitentiary
management, which is as good as
that of other states if, indeed it does
not surpass them. The aPaw- Paw
Patch is the name by which the
burying ground for conyicts near
Jefferson City is known. It is a neg
lected, desolate place, weed grown,
unsightly and repulsive, and the
writer uses it to illustrate what the
outside world is to the convict. Liv-
ing or dying, society presents to
him nothing that is attractive.
Everybody repels him and even the
followers of Christ take but little in
terest in his present or future well
fare. When will an end be put to
this and some wise plan Of prison
reformation be commenced? That
consummation so devoutly to be
wished for may be delayed; but
sooner or later it will surely be in
augurated:

Ramming with an Ironclad,

1t is a tremendous moment on
board a ram when the officer gives
the word OF commando to prepare for
ramming. Each man filings himself
on his stomach, his elbows squared,
his face buried in hands, his head
towards the ram. 1t is a moment
of fearful tension. The great iron
clad has been signaled to go at full
speed, and as the immense pressure
is forced upon her she yibrates like
a thing of life, darling forward by
giant leaps. Every man is at his
post. Every muscle is braced, and
brave hearts beat ehokingly for the
few seconds that elapse between the
order to ram and the awful crash
to many the crash of doom.

A DevilRsh Seizes a Boat.
From the Seattle Telegraph.

A big octopus, or devilfsh, one of
those sea monsters graphically de-
scribed by Victor Hugo in his ''Toil-
ers of the Sea- adorns a hook in
Browns fish stall, on the Washing
ton street wharf. The hook is driven
into a casing of the door, consider
ably higher than a mans head, but
the long, Shiny tentacles, or arms of
the monster trail ON the ground,
tapering to fine point. On the
inside of the arms are the cuplike
suckers, which, once fastened onto
an object, have a bulldog-like tenae-
ity. The fish weighs forty-five
pounds and its arms measure ten
feet, or twenty feet from tip to tip.
1t is being kept till some Chinese,
who consider the meat of the fish a
great luxury, come along and pur-
chase it. The captors Of the mon
ster were fisherman August Dupont
and Joe Michael, who had a hard
battle before they succeeded in kill
ing it. The men were coming up the
bay Tuesday afternoon with a boat
load of fish, pulling lazily on the
oars, when Dupont's blade fouled
something in the water. The some.
thing proved to be devil-fish. Du,
pont raised his oar out of the water.
and the fish came with it. AS it was
raised above the surface, one of the
monsters strong arms fastened or
to the boat, and in an instant it was
half way into the boat, and striking
wildly at the occupants. Michae
was struck on the arm by the mon
ster, but he whipped out a knife ane
cut the tentacle off. In the mean
time Dupont seized a club used TO
knocking salmon on the head ant
killed the monster.

Quick Time to Columbia.

The special train which left Mex
late yesterday afternoon to take the
members of the Legislature and
the Senate and their families over
to Columbia made quick trip. The
time from Mexico to Columbia was
an hour and ten minutes, stopping
at Centralia five minutes. The
train consisted of four passenger
cars and one baggage car, and was
complimentary. The G. & A. road
brought them to Mexico and the
Wabash took them the rest of the
way. There was something near
three hundred people on the train
and a royal good time was enjoyed
at Columbia, where a banque. was
rendered the members of the Legis-
lature and the Senate. Hon. A. B.
Medley, of this county, went over
but Senator Clay could not go on
account of illness. FIJI. McGuigan,
Superintendent of the Western di-
vision of the Wabash read, E. H.
Fitzhugh, Master of Transportation,
and T. w. Anderson, Train Master,
met the delegationI at Mexico and
did everythingin their power to
make the trip a pleasant one.
On the return trip the special came
from Columbia to Mexico in So
minutes. The fourteen miles from
Centralia to Mexico were run in Is
minutes and one stop was made for
a road crossing.

Buckley and Meere to Settle the
Matter at the General Election
A Card From Mr.. Buckley.

The City Attorney trouble has
been disposed of satisfactorily to
both candidates and all their friends.
Mr.. Buckley and Mr.. Moore will
both be candidates at the general
election, April 9TH. Neither name
win appear on the ticket. A blank
space will be left in which the voter
can write his choice for City Attor-
ney. We sincerely trust that the
vote on that occasion will not result
in. a tie. The committee meets to-
night in the Circuit Court room and
viii receive the following card from
Mr.. Buckley:
To- A. j. winscott, Chairman Democratic Central
Committee:
MEXICO, Mo-, March 25.-DEAR
SIR: You informed me this morn
ing that l had been declared the
nominee of the Democratic party
for City Attorney. The circumstances
surrounding the declaration Of the
result of our recent primary you are
familiar with. | have no doubt but
that l am to-day as fairly the nomi-
nee OF the party as any man ever
was. But in view of the fact that
some If Mr.. Moore's friends are dis
satisfied with the present situation
desire, in the interest of peace and
harmony, to request you to withhold
the certificate of nomination and not
file the same with the County Clerk.
At the risk of displeasing many of
my strongest supporters make this
request. As there is no time for
another party primary will say that
/ shall be a candidate for the office
of City Attorney at the ensuing
regular April election.
Very Respectfully,

A GRAND CHURCH.
One Of the Most Magnificent Places
OF Worship In the Country.

Mr.. B. B. Tureman, while at st.
Augustine, Fla, on his way to
Cuba, visited the Presbyterian
church of that city and says that it
is one of the most magnificent
buildings he ever saw. The church
was erected by Henry M. Flager in
remembrance of his daughter, Jen-
ME l.. Benedict, who died March
%, 1892. The cost of the church
was $3.50, 600; pews, ,$60, 600; doors
and pulpit, $s5, 900 ;organ s15, 900;
total $3.50, 600. There is some talk
of erecting new Presbyterian
church in Mexico, but we do not
speak of the cost of the one in Flori-
da in order to discourage our folks at

ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Question Of Ownership.
From the Chicago News.

A correspondent of an eastern
newspaper discusses the question:
''Does Man Own His Wife?"
1t is certainly a very delicate
question and its discussion brings
one upon dangerous ground. But
In a general way it may be said
without exaggeration that most men
fancy they own their wives.
Yet when they come to examine
the situation carefully grave doubt
of the validity of their title is likely
to arise. In fact, it is probable that
they will finally discern that the
proprietorship is on the other side.
For as rule it is the wife who
owns the husband, and she ordina-
rily manages her property with
consummate skill.

JERSEY FANcIER.-You ask the

Jersey cow makes IA pounds of but

Mr.. U. F. Harrison, of Auxvasse,
advertises in the Jersey Bulletin,
Indianapolis, for some registered
and tested Jersey cows with butter
records of from IA to 20 pounds per
week. Mr.. Harrison evidently in
tends to embark in the Jersey busi-
ness. Jersey COWS with such records
are worth big money; but for the
foundation Of herd it pays to begin
with the best and keep breeding bet
ter. Mr.. Harrison wants cows from
4 to 6 years old.
The Mexico stakes which close
April 1st deserve more than a
passing notice. They will take
place on kite shaped mile track.
The stabling and accommodations
will be excellent. Mexico is am
bilious to take the lead as the horse
center of the State, and her people
are going to hump themselves in
order to beat all other points. 1t will
be frst-rate place to go, a good
place to train horses, and get ready
