A STORY OF GEN. BUTLER.
A Fernandina Pilot Who Did No
Know the General

A Fernandina Pilot Who Did Not
Know the General
SAVANNAH, GA, Feb 1.-E1itOr Morn
ing NetOS; The death of prominent per-
sons always provokes incidents and recol-
leotions connected with their careers. Many
stories find their way into print illustrative
Of character. The death of Gen. B. +. But
Ter has given currency to many such, which
are going the rounds of the press. Here is
one which has not yet been given publicity:
In tn ewiuter of 1882 Gen. Butler made a
cruise In his famous yacht America amongst
the West India Islands. Toward spring he
turned her prov toward the United States
again. Coasting along Florida he con-
cluded to stop at some of her winter resorts
Knowing that his yacht could not then
cross st. Johns bar. he headed her
for the nearest accessible port, and made
the offing at Cumberland sound. The gen.
eral was attired in a blue naval uniform
and cap, and when Capt. Bell, one Of the
Fernandina pilots, boarded the trim yacht
he supposed Gen. Butler was the commodore
OF one of the North Atlantic yacht clubs.
In asking instruction and in conversation
he frequently addressed the general as
Commodore" not having recognized his
identity. After this had gone on for some
time Gen. Butler turned to Capt Bell and
said: Commodore, commodore, don't YOU
know who 1 am ~
mo sir" responded Capt Bell.
"You don't" again asked the general.
"No, sir" again answered the pilot.
"Is that sol Why, / am old Spooney
Butler" responded the general al thought
everybody knew me-"
He evidently remembered the New Or
leans incident" and the sppellation by
which he was generally known in the south.

The lEsthetic Sense In Animals.

Animals possess in an appreciable man
uer certain tastes indicating an elemen-
tary sense of the beautiful. This sense
is not present in all animals, and those
who do possess it manifest it in different
degrees. But it is sufficient to know that
its existence can be recognized. Birds
are particularly gifted in this manner.
They have taste for bright colors and
melodious sounds, and most frequently
the male subjugates and fascinates his
mate with the beauty Of his plumage or
the feasibility of his vocal organs. There
are besides other birds who show this
aesthetic sense IN a singular manner.
One of these is the baya. He has a
passion for brilliant and variegated OBJ
jects, and he has a ha bit Of ornamenting
the entrance to his nest, which is built
with infinite art and elegance, with a
variety of objects, gathered by bits from
all quarters, which happen to strike his
fancy Among them are brilliantly col
ored feathers of other birds, bright bits
of shells, bits of stuffs, and the bird
struts about in the midst of all this with
evident pleasure.
Insects also possess marked aesthetic
sense. They prefer certain colors, and
the plants which depend upon them
for fertilization show an entirely differ
ent variety of colors from those of plants
whose fertilization is affected by means
of the wind. Musical sounds also affect
different animals in marked manner.
They have their preferences and their
antipathies. -Review of Reviews.
