AN ELOQUENT SPEECH.
How n Californian Saved Himself from
Being Hung.

Being Hung.
~ remember" says Professor Will
Hanson, of Texas, hearing one speech
in my life that / am satisfied was de-
livered without preparation, and it was
an eloquent one, too. 1t as in Cali
fornia in 40. We were busy at work, a
crowd of us, getting out gold; and one
night two brothers named Burke-pop-
ular fellows-lost every ounce of their
dust Some thief had crept into the
tent and stolen it. Suspicion fell at
once, and without any reason, on an
Englishman in the crowd, who had
held himself aloof from every one A
search of his tent found more dust than
it seemed reasonable for him to have
accumulated, and he was at once taken
to o tree with q sope around his neck
and given fifteen minutes to pray. The
fifteen minutes reached an hour and a
half, and such flow of eloquence upon
the subject of circumstantial evidence
have never heard before or since. Its
power may be i:nagined when tell you
that the crowd in that country AID in
that day was influenced to change the
verdict of capital punishment to Danish,
ment and confiscation of his property.
He walked down to Frisco and found
work. A month after we found that
the cook we had in camp was the thief
and, after stringing him up, was sent
to hunt up the Englishman and turn
his property back to him. His name
was Rivers, and he was varsity man
in England, and a senior wrangler,
found when l met him. He had a pile
of several thousand dollars, and wen,
straight to England. i never heard OF
him afterwards, but shall never for
get that eloquent and eXtemporaneou:

ANINTERESTING QUESTION.

The London Spectator raises an in
tcresting question when it asks "wheth-
er there is not some ground for sup
posing that, apart from questions of
our own convenience, there are not
some desperately wicked animals
which are not only wicked per Sc, but
quite conscious that they are doing
actions which place them outside the
pale both of human and animal con-
sideration." Men are apt, as a rule,
to consider animals in the bulk-to
say with the school-boy that "thc
horse is a noble ANIMAL" and let it 90
at that. But any one who has lived
much with horses or with dogs: knows
that the dispositions among them is as
great as among men; that there are
horses and dogs which, Judged in rela-
ton to the majority Of their kind, are
criminals, and deserve to be treated
like criminals. That is to say, they
do wrong, not because it is their sim
stinct,n or because they know no bet
ter-as tigers prey Oh human life-but
in contradistinction to their own moral
sense. The consciousness of guilt is a
yery common trait in all domesticatcd
animals.
Animals have the power of self
control. Any wcll-traincd dog or
horse will give you Il conspicuous Illus
tration of the truth Of this theory
and even cats and birds, which some
people place on level with dogs and
horses, although the evidence is
against this conclusion, have shown
themselves to be by no means inditler-
ent to ethical considerations. Many
wild animals, too, like elephants, differ
morally in no small degree.

RATS DESERVING A SHIP.--"I once
came near losing my life by being too
smart" said Marion f. Forney, n
member of the Mcndacity Club, which
was holding an informal session at
the Lindell. 81 was ut Rio Janeiro
and desired to 60 to Havana. There
were at that time no steamers plying
between those ports, and had to
take passage on a sailing vessel. The
ship was to sail before daylight and |
went aboard early to get comfortably
settled. That evening l sat on the
deck until long past midnight chatting
with party of Englishmen, who were
also passengers. Presently one OF
them got up, tossed his cigar over
board and announced that he was 60
ing ashore. The ID you are!" ex-
claimed one of his companions.
You'll get left Exactly, he replied g;
'and if go in this ship III get drown
ed. Look there! Don't you sec the
rats are leaving it?' and he pointed
to the gang plank. Sure enough the
rats were going ashore, hundred or
more of them, headed by good old
rodent. Well, we all laughed at the
young Britishcr for believing sailor
superstitions, and ] guess | was the
greatest scotIer in the lot. He went
and we stayed. On the second day
out the ship sprang leak, and before
night was under forty fathoms of wa
ter. We took to the boats and drifted
about for twenty -four hours before we
were picked up by a Brazilian barque
and taken back to Rio. One of the
first men l met was the young English
man l had ridiculed. He was the
most generous man l ever met. He
never once said, 81 told you so. st.

He turned and galloped forward.
AS he did so I rode to the right and a

both cried out together:

or six of us fired together just as he
put his horse on gallop, and he top
pied from his saddle and fell to the
earth. The Indians, seeing that they
were discovered, sprang up and made
a dash at us on foot. Although with

thing. Every man rushed to the front,

the train would have been murdered

found out several years later, an active
