LONDON, Sept. 3.-The adventure OF
Gladstone with the COW is still the thrill
ing sensation of the day at and around
Hawarden. The queen has sent Jele-
gram inquiring after the premier's health,
and perfect flood OF messages from less
distinguished sources has poured in upon
the grand old man. Scores of letters of
sympaIh by and solicitous inquiry have also
been received. A less pleasing fact is that
many missives of Il scurrilous nature have
been received. Gladstone, VINO considers
his mishap Is too trifiing TO be noticed, Is
much annoyed at the newspapers for Civ
ing it SO much publicity.

Conspiracy Against Our anIes.

il vas learned from prominent expor
ter, few days ago that the American
mule is Disseminated against. For some
years he has been welcome guest in the
Finch West Indies. and number Of
merchants in this city have found it pro-
ftable to ship him down there. Recent
ly the French government decided that
us mules ought to be good enough for
its cOlonis;s. Everybody knows that a
French mule doesn't stand any show
alongside Of real cracker or Ksiniuck
mule. The Freo>h government knew
il, aud 30 il took an unfair means Of in
duciug its citisers to enter into con-
spirs-y to Gust the Ameriesn mule from
favor. 1t offered to the colony, and the
result has been that many have been re-
ceived at Martinique lately. A letter
received BY an exporter iu this city says
that the PATRIOTS Of the eolonists aud

Animals Lack OF Sense,


Some animals exhibit queer lack Of
sense, says man who has observed
them. Put a buzzard in pen about six
feet square, aud It Ii as much a prisoner
as though 1t were snut up in box. This
is because buzzards always begin their
flight by taking a short run, and they
either can not or will not attempt to fly
unless they can do SO. Again, take a
common humble bee and put it into q
goblet. 1t will remain prisoner for
hours, trying to escape through the sides,
without even thinking OF escaping from
the top. SO also bat can not rise from
a perfectly level surface. Although it Is
remarkably nimble in its flight when
once on the wing, and can fly for many
hours at time without taking the least
rest, il placed ON the floor or on fat
ground it is absolutely unable to use its
wings. The only thing it can do is to
shuttle helplessly and painfully along un-
til it reaches some trifling elevation,
from which it can throw itself into the
air, when at once it is off like flash.
