A charit b e
woman had commissioned me to buy
and transfer to my farm any horse in
the streets of Boston that appeared to
be utterly miserable and ill-treated. One
day, soon afterward, | observed an old,
biack cab-horse at which his driver
chirruped and swore while Jerking the
reins, raislng several welts over the
poor beasts body. Still the horse could
not move faster than at feeble trot,
which subsidized into walk whenever
the drivers efforts relaxed.
When the cab stopped sought to
buy the horse from the cabman, who was
owner, and ultimately got possession
OF him for $50. Next day he arrived
at my farm. He was christened "Bona.
parte," with the understanding that he
should be called "Bony" for short.
8ony was then cruelty thin; all his
ribs showed, his shoulder-bonc was al
most bare of flesh, and his hips stuck
out like pegs. He wns very hollow
backed, and his rump fell off steeply,
His legs were all swollen from knee and
hook TO ankle, the result of fatigue,
oil weakness and of low condition.
There were deep sores on his back
where the saddle and collar had CALLED
him, and worse place still on top of
his head, where he had been injured by
the weight and stiffness and heat of u
heavy bride that he had worn that
summer.
But these signs of misery were less
piteous than Bony's face and eyes.
Above his eyes were deep caverns, a
sign OF old age, and in the eyes was
look of patient despair. 1t was clear
that Bony had long ceased to hope.
For him to trot was almost impos.
siblc; even at walk he moved with
some difficulty, and his teeth were so
far gone that he could eat very little
hay. lie seemed so miserable that we
thought of sending for the local horse
oxecutloner to end his life with u rifle.
ball.
Meantime Bony was well cared for.
We gave him plenty of grain, he was
kept ut night in u comfortable, loose
box, deeply bedded with straw, and in
the daytime he was turned ott in c,
pleasant field where much toothsome
grass grew.
In this field there was already one
occupant, little chestnut filly, barely
year old, and as full of life and mis-
chief as Bony was feeble and solemn;
but the two met, and after few pre-
liminary sniifs, their outstrctched noses
just touching, they became friends.
Now wonderful thing happened.
Within two days Dony improved per-
ceptibly, and the visit of the execu
tioner was postponed. Within week
he had become another horse, and no
longer was there any question of kill
ing him. The swelling departed from
his legs, his sores began to heal, a
slight veil of flesh was drawn over his
ribs, and above all the expression of
his eyes changed. Bony began to look
out upon the world with an air of hope
and courage.
About month after his arrival re-
port reached me that old Bony had gal
loped around the field. On investiga-
ton, this gallop became a caper, but
there was proof that Bony had actually

Curious YrehjstOric MonLeva.

In several places in the Cape Colony
and Orange Free State Of South Africa
caves have been explored which yield
ed hundreds of mummi6ed remains OF
n queer species of six-fngered monkey.
All of the full-grown specimens of this
remarkable species of quadrumana
have the tail situated high on the back
from three to five inches further up
than that on the modern monkey-and
other distinguishing marks, such as
two sets Of canine teeth, boards on the
males, etc. Whether these creatures
were mummified by human beings,
who formerly held them in reverence,
orwere overtaken by some catastrophe,
such as sudden convulsion of nature
Or cataclysni which entombed them
in their caves, and thus preserved them,
Is secret that can never be KNOWN
