IXSTIXCT V8. iXTKIiUCCr. It has been but a few years Fince mankind was willing to admit that animals were endowed with reason. Tbe intelligent and learned, howev er, do admit that some animals not only have mind?, but that they rea son also. What may be said, may be the means of inducing many stu dents to take up the Ftudy of natural hifitory. Such a study will open to their minds a new universe of beau- tv. interest and nrofit This book of nature is open to all creatures ; man has not the monopoly of this study. The lower animals read it and seem to understand it much better, in some instances than the biped mm. No barometer can determine the temperature of the peasons as unerr ingly as the wild goose, and there is no compass or needle that can direct the course of a pieeon while it navi gates the air equal to its own in stinct, and in the hydraulics of na ture the beaver stands the foremost of all creatures. Instinct will no longer auswer as a name for the in telligence of animals. What shall that quality of mind be called which enables a young pigeon, after having been taken in a coop 400 miles from the cote in which it was hatched, and tossed in the air, to strike a bee line direct for home? A dog was once taken 157 miles from Cincinna ti in a railroad car. and set at liber ty. In less than three days he had traveled the whole distance, and ar rived safely back at his master's house. There is a species of fishhawk in our Northern lakes which seems to have most remarkable eyes, micro scopic as well ss telescopic. You may often see this fellow early in the morning hovering over the placid surface of some lonely lake, when he will dart off, leave the water and take up his position upon the bare limb of a blighted tree, and watch the track over which he flew. Pres ently you will see Lira leave perch and with the accuracy and velocity of an arrow, strike the bosom of the lake, grasp a fish and bear it to his perch. Nature has furnished this bird with the bait to become a suc cessful fisherman. He has in his throat or aophagus a small sack in which hestcretes a kind of oil. This he drops upon the surface of the wa ter; the fish are attracted to it, and at once there is a great commotion in the water. The hawk, seeing this, takes advantage of the situation and at once pounces upon his prey. Among the instances of a superior sense in the kingdom of the lower animals is the turkey buzzard. Take your position upon the prairie just at daybreak, where you can see in all directions for ten or fifteen miles, and often further. Presently you will discern what seems to be email black specks, but in the course of half an hour these specks will be circling hieh in air over the spot where some dead brute is lying. When you first saw the birds they were miles away. Now, the ques tion is, do the birds see the animal, or smell it, or both? Certainly there is no human biped that can either see or smell any object at so great a distance, especially if the dead ani mal is on the ground, and obscured. If the birds have eyes that have the powers of the telescope then the problem is solved ; if, however, the bird detects the location of the animal by the sense of smell, we can bardlv conceive oi olfactory nerves of such delicacy! The hearing of many animals is altogether superior to that of man. As is well known to all observers of nature, the cervical genus are partic- ularly gifted in this way. The deer the moose, the caribou, antelope and j gemsbok have hearing so acute that j it the wind be favorable thev can I hear the footsteps of the hunter for mile. While we are quite sure of our po sition regarding the instinct, mind and reason of some animals, we are not certain that plants have mind and reason, to which instinct is so closely allied ; but that they have what the world calls instinct there can be no question. There is a spe cial aquatic plant, said to grow in the Island of Madagascar, which if planted on the north side of a wall or barrier, and there is a stream or pool on the opposite side within reachable distance, the plant will at once bend its steps toward the water, travel persistently over and up the wall, down the other 6ide, and never rest until it gets to the water. There it stops. Some readers have heard of the Venus fly-trap of the Southern States. Seme of ita leaves are made fpecially for fly-catching. This plant secretes a sweet fluid at the proper reason to attract flies and other in wcts. When they light upon this resinous fluid they become entan gled, and in their struggles the trap doses upon them ami their doom is sealed. They are then absorbed, utilired by the plant, forming, as Z'rofessor Gray thinks, food for the plant. Another of thee savage carniver ous plants is called the "Sun-dew." which grows in our marshee. It garnishes its leaves with rubies and tips every point with a beautiful di ajuond. The beams of the morning put. kis it as the courtier presses his lips to the jeweled hand of his lady-1 love. aii iui artistic display is made to tempt the victim to certain death: Around the brilliant rubies and diamonds there is a colorless i;lue. The moment the feet or wings of any creeping thing touch this substance tine fate is death. Their vain struggles onlr bind them more firmly. The leaf noar closes upon them and the prickly point pierce their bodies like the fangs ot" tigers or the talons of an eagle. But the great destroyer is the pitcher-plant. Nowhere can there be found such a death-dealing instru ment, or one more ingeniously fitted for its work. The leaves form into tubes, at the bottom of which there are the secret pools of death. Into thee the unfortunate victims are hurled. Once down, they are lost Hut if ky chance some insect more resolute and stronger than his fel All..' - . sj a low makes his way up the inside of the tube a part of which is smooth and he may think he is about to gain his liberty, the illusion is soon dispelled. The prisoner is met with perfect rhcreaux-df'frrize firm, Larp hairs bar his progress, and he can only fall tack on his final execu tion. The machinery of these plants is pertbet no human agency can surpass it They do their work like thinking beings. They require no teaching. Tberu ia an intelligent, vitalizing and eiergetic force organ izing and perfecting ail these things. We cannot take the ground that All we see is only the effect of lew. It in more reasonable to assume that there is intelligence behind law and matter. The intelligence shown in plants cannot be denied. Indeed, there is no escape from the conclu sion that the same manifestations of mind arc observed in the three cases we Lave cited in plants as are seen in many animal organi zations. We see no good reason why we 6hould not claim intelligence for an imals. There are large numbers of quadrupeds and bipeds that show more intellect in some directions than is shown in the lower orders of those beings who closely ' resemble the human form. Probably animals show more in telligence in building, repairing and taking care of the houses in which they live than in any other way. Nearly all birds build nests. There are two exceptions to this rule, how ever, the cuckoo and the cowbird : they lay their eggs in the nests made by other birds, and they suffer other birds to rear their young, which is certainly very unfair upon the part of nature. A robin must have pret ty hard time to raise a brood of four little ones. When food is scarce and a long distance from the nest, and when she has two little orphan cow birds added to her family, 6he has no time to spare, and often she is handicapped by the absence of her husband, who is off probably on a musical party with some other fel lows," or it may be that poor Mrs. Robin is a widow, her mate having been shot by some heartless pothunter. The various and peculiar nets of birds show instinct of the highest quality that is, if it be proper to call it instinct. There are other an imals that undoubtedly exhibit rea son, memorj', invention, motive, in genuity, will and gratitude. This last shows that they have a moral sense. If then these premises are granted, we'are driven to the conclu sion that animals reason and think, and in many cases show the same evidences of reason and free intelli gence that are observable in human nature. It has been shown very often that dogs, horses, elephants, birds, and even pigs can be taught to do most wonderful things, and we have any number of cases which may be brought forward to show free intel lectual ability on the part of wild and other animals. Dr. Kane gives us an account of his old dog Grim, who was once an active and vigorous sledge dog, but in time his legs became covered with ringbones and warts. When the other dogs were being harnessed for a journey, old Grim could not be found ; he used to hide in an old barrel. He was always found to be quite lame when the sledge and team were in camp, but when they were off on a journey Grim was in good condition, and not it all tame. X. V. World. Hay FVer.

The name of Wm. M. Scott, who died at Toronto the other day, was heralded from one end of the conti nent to the other about two years ago w hen he won the sum of $ 150, OUO in a single game of poker. Scott was a native of Newburgh, N. , where he lived when he played his famous came: the players in the game were three well known citizens of that town, one of whom, the victim, had just become heir to half a mil lion. This was a man named Weed. Scott aiso, had money, and was sur rounded by wealthy friends. The third member of the party was a former Sunday-school teacher, a den tist named Dr. Montreville M. Hedges. It' was shown afterward that the poker pot was adroitly run up to $150,000 on bets of at least 5,000 each. The dealer was Dr. Hedges, the shrewdest player of the three. As he deftly dropped the last card on the little round table he called out to know what the others wanted. Scott said he wanted only one card. Of course the question 8 rose, was he drawing to fill a straight or a flush ? Weed applied to the dealer for two cards, and the question to be decided in his case by the others was whether he was draw ing to cet four of a kind or to fill a full hand, a straight, or a flush.! Hedges rested on his oars. He had enough, which was, of course, inter preted to mean that it was anything from a straight or a full hand up to a straight flush. The drawing over, the faces of the three brightened up, and it is safe to say that never before had three lone ly men in a little game held three such hands of cards. When the bet ting had gone up to $0,000 or $S.000 Weed wanted to stop, " because," as he said, "there is not one of us that will pay if we lose such an amount." It was not Etopped, however. After a little Hedges, who had stood pat with his hand and engaged in the betting as it went around until the pot was pushed up to $150,000, called Scott. Then came the lay down, and afterwards Hedges' mem orable words to Weed : " This is dreadful, ain't it?" Of course the simple-minded Weed was taken in. He had received a fine hand, that would have nerved even the most timid gambler up to a strong betting point. It was four ot a kind, and they were aces at that. In any or dinary game a bold better would have done as Weed did gone toth bitter end. Scott's one drawn card was the corn-breaker. Did it fill a lull hand or a straight? was the question that ran through Weed's mind continuously while the chips, representing thousands of dollars, were being thrown into the pot. ' Of course, if it's either, my four aces will beat hiai." he argued, " While it isn't possible that Hedges drew better than four aces in the deal." W hen the end came Weed was almost dumb. His four aces were worthless, for while Hedges stood pat on a king full. Scott had drawn in the one card he took the risht col or and the proper number of spots to make his hand a straight flush, the only thing that would down four aces. But the poker game was a small one in comparison with the game that followed. It was a game of faro. Weed was again the loser to the enormous amount of $150,000. The game was played between Scott and Weed for the purpose of giving the latter a chance to win back his $150,000. If Weed won it was to offset the claim against him and call it square. Weed jumped at such an opportunity. The game was played in the dental laboratory, and the betting ran up very fast until it stood at $450,000 in favor of Scott. Of course the money was never paid and it was after this that the trouble over the poker dtbt got into the courts. Scott died here, at the house of his sister, and his remains were taken to Newburgh for interment. He was only thirty-two or thirty-three years old. The Uirls.

Garrett, dat ed at Deer Park, August 8, 1SS4, was filed in the Orphans' Court to-day. All his estate is left to his children, subject to the following trusts : To his son Robert Garrett the testator gives his dwelling, No. 71 Mount Vernon place ; to his son Thomas Harrison Garrett the Evergreen prop erty, in Baltimore county; to his daughter Mary Elizabeth the dwel ling on Monument and Cathedral streets, the country house on the Hil len road and the cottage at Deer Park, with the furniture, plate, pic tures, etc., in each, and his horses and carriages' used for family pur poses. His sister Elizabeth G. Gar rett receives the dwelling No. 50 Mount Vernon place. The will then provides that $100,000 in securities shall be set aside by the Trustees in such inanner as to produce the year ly sum of $0000, which shall be paid yearly to aid in improving the con dition of the poor in the city of Bab timore. He names the Baltimore Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor, sc long as in the judgment of the Trustees it is efficiently managed, as a proper me dium for the distribution of this charity. Mr. Garrett further directs that out of the net income of his estate the sum of $50,000 shall be devoted annually to such objects of benevo lence, to educational purposes, to aid virtuous and struggling persons, and to such works of public utility as are calculated to promote the happiness usefulness and progress of society, said amount to be appropriated to the furtherance of such objects and to the accomplishments of such ends in the judgment and at the discre tion of his trustees. He directs that the eontributiona to the purposes named shall continue during the lifetime of his children and their heirs, if the condition of the estate will then justify the appropriations. Mr. Garrett leaves 30,000 shares of the common stock of the Balto. and Ohio P.ailroad (which does not in clude the large holdings of the firm of Robert Garrett & Sons, now com posed of his two sons.) to be held by his trustees for the space of 20 years, dating from his deatii. The income is to be divided equally between his three children or their heirs, and at the end of twenty years the stock is to be similarly divided. The city stock, that held by the Johns Hop kins t'niversity and his own, he says will control the road in the interests of B ltimore. and his children, who are his trustees, are requested to car ry out the line of policy which, he believes, has accomplished great re sults of benefit for the city and State. Chilian Trails. The Chilians are certainly the most hospitable people I ever met. They will put all they have at your disposal, and take a patriotic pride in impressing you with all that their country can boast of. One must attribute the lack of betels, ii would seem, to this 'genuine, spirit of hospitality. In the country towns one is always a welcome guest at the governor's house; and at the mines, or on the hacinda, a ready cheer is found at the casa grande a large, club-like "establishment" so called, where the superintendent and his immediate assistants eat, sleep and. find amusements to re lieve the dull monotony of outside surroundings. It would seem that to know one Santiaguian is to know and enjoy the kindness of all his friends, and to have been a guest at the establecimiento is to have learn ed pages of Chilian character and Chilian instituiions. Next to theift amiablity and hospitality, the pat riotism of the people stand out in bold relief. You have but to cast your eye down anv one of the streets and the long array of flag-staffs that i- fi.. i i " i v suck lite ouroer poies iroui every house are in evidence of this pirit. The streets are named after the he roes in the recent and early wars of the republic. The battered boilers and turrets of the captured Huascar have been caTied high up on the hill of Santa Lucia as a standing re mainder of Chilian heroism and during. The civil holidays are almost as numerous as religious. Three days of celebratiou are set apart to com memorate Chili's "Fourth of July," and the national tri-color is waving before every door for fully two thirds of the year. The soldiers are fit representatives of the re markable pluck, the undaunted per severance and the intense patriotism of the people. The story of the late war fully illustrates this. Some of the incidents of that war can hardly be surpassed for bravery and daring. The Chilian soldier bears the impress of French influence in his whole dress and carriage, but he has that unmistakable sang-froid of the Creole which would lead one to imagine that he was thoroughly discontented with his profession.

Atj 1 o'clock this afternoon the twelfth! incendiary fire in Cleveland within twenty-four hours was started ir. the lumber yard of the Cleveland Saw Mill & Lumber Company, in the heart of the great lumber "district on "the flats." A strong wind carried the flames eastward through the yards, destroying 1, 000,000 feet of lumber and about fifty feet of the trestle of the Connotton Valley rail way, cutting off trains from access to the depot The fire was checked with the loss of $20,000. About 4 o'clock a small boy standing near the passenger station of the Connot ton Valley road observed a man creeping stealthily up to a baggage car and passenger coach standing on a side track. Shortly after he no ticed flames issuing from the rear coach and gave the alarm. A loco motive was backed up and drew the cars into the open space, where they were completely gutted, with a loss of only 2,000, the cars being narrow gauge. The entire deparment was at the lumber fire, and had the flames reached the depot, a largo district densely filled with wooden buildings must have been swept bare. Towards o o'clock a fire was dis covered in the Greene block, St. Clair street, but was extinguished without damage. The kindlings used were two packing boxes saturated with coal oil. Purdy & McNeil, one of the lar gest firms in the city, to-day received an anonymous letter from Chicago, warning them that their stock would be in ashes before Monday.

A Marvelous Story TOLD IB TWO LETTERS. FROM THE SON: "ZZkZZ ' GrHtlemen: My father resides at ;iocr, Vt. lie has been a great sunVn-r from Scrof ula, and the ineloeeU letter will tall yoa tvuat a marvelous etl&ci Ayer's Sarsaparilla has had in his case. I think his blood most have contained too humor f r at least ten years ; but it did not show, excrt-pt in the form Of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about Cve yara a?o. From a few spot which ap peared at that time, it gradually spread so as t coTr his entire body. I assure yoa Uo nj lrrii:y aflilctvd. and an object of yity, ahoa Jie beg in using your medicine. Xo-v, there are lew men of his a;;a who enjoy as good ItenitU as he has, I could easily name lifty persutu who wouid U-stify to lite facte In his cose. Your truly, V. jl. PmUdPS." FROM THE FATHER: "JUStl a duty for me to state to yoa the benefit I hare derived from the nso of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Six months ago I was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an Incessant and intolerable . itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause -tho blood to Sow in many places whenever 1 moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a harden. I commenced tbe use of the Sarsavirii.la in April hist, and have used It regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect being now able to do a good day's work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AVer's Sausaparilla. Glover, Vt Oct. 21, lotti Yours gratefully, lint ax Phillips."
