Instinct and Knowledge In Animals.

A cat carried 100 miles In q basket, a
dog taken perhaps 500 miles by rail, in a
few days may have found their way back
to the starting point. So we have often
been told, and no doubt the thing has
happened. We have been astonished at
the wonderful intelligence displayed.
Magic, / should call it. Last week |
heard of captain who sailed from Alb
erdeen to Arbroath. He left behind him
dog which, according to the story, had
never been in Arbroath, but when he ar
rived there the dog was waiting ON the
quay. l was expected to believe that
the dog had known his masters destina-
ton and been able to inquire the way
overland to Arbroath. Truly marvelousl
But really it is time to inquire more care
fully as to what these stories do mean.
We must cease to ascribe our intelligence
to animals and learn that it is we that
often possess their instinct.
A cat on farm will wander many
miles in search of prey and will there
fore be well acquainted with the coun-
try for miles around. 1t is taken 90
miles away. Again it wanders and comes
across a bit of country it knew before.
What more natural than that it should
go to its old homer Carrier pigeons are
taught "homing" by taking them gradu-
ally longer flights from home, so that
they may learn the look of the country
We cannot always discover that dog
actually was acquainted with the route
by which it wanders home, but it is quite
absurd to imagine, as most people at
once do, that it was a perfect stranger to
the lay of the land.-A. j. Macintosh
In London Spectator.

Facts are stubborn things, and
now that the Democrats have an op-
portunity to examine the pension roll
they are turning up every day to
prove that the claim made by Demo
Gratis for years, that millions Of dollars
were being paid out illegally for pen
sions, was correct. Cases are numer-
Gus where men are drawing $72 a
month for total disability and are in
addition following ordinary avocations
and drawing the same salaries as un-
injured men. Two cases of this sort
turned up last week in Washington,
one man a musician regularly EN-.
ployed and the other a government
clerk, and there are many more there
These two men have been re examined
and their pensions reduced to SIT
and s25 month respectively, and so
apparent was the justice of the re-
duction that neither availed them
selves OF the right to appeal from the
board of examiners.

we came upon stout wooden cnesU,
bound with iron hoops, about two feet
square. One of the boys gave it a kick,
but failed to move it, and he then tried
to lift it, with no better results. Stick
ing his bayonet under the hasp which
held the lid so tightly, it gave way, and
the lid was raised, displaying thousands
of shining SEQ gold pieces.
SIT was the Mexican treasure box, and
the money was to pay the Mexican
troops. 1t had been dumped in nthe chap
arral by the carrier, hoping that it might
be secured after the battle. The other
boys began filling their bootlegs and
pockets with the precious metal, but
didn't touch piece of it. After they
had loaded themselves with all they
could carry they wanted me to help my
self to the many hundreds of dollars re-
naming, butt considered them the same
as robbers. While they were debating
as to the disposition of the remainder our
colonel rode up, and noting the treasure
chest placed us all on guard and we had
to stand there all night watching that
box. The other boys secured several
hundred dollars moro of the coin, which
was carried away next morning, and
each man buried what he couldn't con-
veniently carry.
"After we were discharged the boys re-
turned and secured their treasure, which
amounted to about 81, 700 apiece. don't
think would let such chance to gather
money slip again, but am now an old
man, and that was my only opportunity

Confederate cavalry, 1000 strong, including
Shelby's brigade, was massed on Cane hill
to resist 6,000 Union soldiers under General
Heron. Heron had As cannon, Marmaduke
but 10, six of these in Collins battery. The
fight began with an artillery duel, and Col
Inns moved his guns from point to point in
reckless exposure to keep up show o.
strength. Finally his companion battery
of four guns was left between the lines dis
abled by the loss of all its horses and can
noneers, and that just at the moment when
one of Herron's brigades headed by the
Twentieth Wisconsin dashed toward the
hill on bayonet charge. Shelby's limo
must meet the assault. Pointing to the
exposed guns in front, he said to Collins,
When you see their hands upon those
wheels, Dick, fire-not before"
Shelby's troopers lay hid in the brush, and
the daring assailants bounded on, expecting
an easy victory over the helpless battery
and its slender backing. At the base of the
slope the men stopped and drank heartily
from their canteens, laughing at the pros
pect before them. Collins waited-waited
until the charging line passed the silent
cannon eveu-waited until the doomed men
were within 80 feet of Shelby's crouching
troopers-thcn let loose double charges of
singing canister. Then the masked rifle
men arose to finish the stunning blow by a
bayonet countercharge. Herron's men raj

lied and were REINFORCED to be again re-
| pulsed and driven down the hill To tho
shelter of their own guns, leaving the help
less Confederate battery untouched. The
Twentieth Wisconsin was nearly annihilat-
ed. 1t lost 81 killed Oh the spot and over
$50 wounded.
Collins next exploit was more in keep
ing with dashing cavalry tactics. Shelby's
brigade was sent to attack the Union COM
munications around Springfield, No., in
January, 1868, and with accustomed reck-
lessness attempted to ride down the gar
rison of the town. Collins dashed in with
the advance along the main street, and seiz-
ing a good position opened his guns on
everything in sight. A regiment of Union
cavalry swept down upon the battery, but
Collins deluged the line with grape. Shell
by's troopers rallied upon the guns, and
although the assault failed miserably at all
other points Collins held his ground until
midnight. After dark regiment of in
fantry stormed the battery, but was re-
pulsed with one deadly volley.
In the attack on Cape Girardeau, Mo-,
after Shelby's advance had driven the
Union cavalry back to the Notifications,
Collins rushed his pieces to the front and
opened on the works at close range His
cannoneers were thinned out under the
calling fire hurled upon them, but troop
ers volunteered and manned the pieces un-
til the bugle sounded retreat.
As a matter of course the battery became
the especial pet of the whole brigade. Sol
diers always love the artillery, but too often
they cry that it is never on hand when
wanted. Collins guns were always on
hand. In the attack on Helena, Ark, July
4. 1868, Collins, as usual Joined the assault
ing column. The brigade advanced too far
without support, and the guns of field
battery, an ironclad and a fort concen-
trated their fire upon it, Then followed a
countercharge. The eslaughter around Col
Inns guns was awful. General officers and
aids helped work the pieces. Finally the
horses were all shot down, and the line was
compelled to retreat under the whitening
fire. Shelby, reeling in his saddle fronloss
of blood, called for volunteers to save the
battery. Collins and his lieutenants were
still fighting bravely, but hopelessly, and
cutting the harness to extricate the car

Is it reasonable, says the Mahanoy
City Equm Rights, to suppose that

lion times as much as another? If
not why are there millionaires and
tramps? Both would cease to be il
we would abolish the laws which keer
men and land apart. When all are
free to apply by their labor to nature
for the satisfaction of their desires
none will suffer want and none be
gorged to repletion, for each will gel
ull he produces, and then no one car

it Improbable to hold land idle, will

Secretary Morton thinks the work
of the weather bureau should be con
fined to the purposes for which it was
established and the employment of
high-salaried scientific experts to ex-
pertinent along lines which nobody
really knows anything about is all
wrong, and in consequence of those
thoughts has notified several profes-
sors who have been engaged upon
work that was of no immediate prac.
tical use either to the bureau or to
the public that their services will be
dispensed with. The secretary in
tends that the entire talent of the bu-
reau shall be devoted to improving
the daily forecast of the weather,
which he believes to be the work
which is most beneficial to the pub
lie. How the fur would fly if a man
like Morton was put in charge of the
geological and the coast survey Off
ces. He knows enough about sci
ence not to allow himself to be BAN
boozled by the fake scientists whose
sole object in life is to hold on to the
soft snaps they now have.

Some of the enterprising residents
of South Dakota, who think a profit
can be wrung out Of the elements in
the form of rain and 0 herwise, have
pushed the idea father and have form.
ed what is to be known as the Inter
national Cold Wave Company, with a
capital stock of $1,000,0O0. They
claim to have discovered the secret of
cold waves, and offer to deliver a
fresh assortment direct from the ice
fields Of the north whenever torrid
weather shall render their presence
desirable. The offer is accompanied
with a guarantee. Whether this
surety will cover the damages entailed
by the tempest sure to result from a
sudden mixing of hot and cold tenn
peratures does not appear. But the
company should not be deferred b.
such trivial obstacles. Cold waves in
summer are all that are needed to
make America an ideal summer
resort; and if the contrivanco could
be headed the other way, and insure
an equatorial weather in winter, the
whole country could boast the isorth-
ermal climate which Orator Knott
attributed to Duluth and in which
there would be fresh fruits in market
all the year 'round.-Record

accused of not looking very favorably
upon the practical side of politics, i E.,
putting out the opposition and put
ting in members of his own party,
but before leaving Washington for a
short vacation he showed that the ac.
cusation was undeserved by notifying
number of assistants to the attor-
ney general with salaries ranging
from 81, 800 to $4,000 that their resie,
