(Bayard Taylor la the AUantie Montfcr-l Animal have much more capacity to understand human speech than is generally suppossed. The Hindoos invariably talk to their elephants, and it is amazing bow mach the latter comprehend. The Arabs govern their camels with a few cries, and my associates in the African desert were alway amused whenever I addressed n remark to the big dromedary who was my property for two months. Yer. at the end of that time, the beat! evid-n '7 knew the meaning of number of siropla sen teoees. Some years ago, 'seeing the hippopotamus m Barnum's -museum looking very stolid and delected, I spoke to bJm in English, hat he did not even move his eyes. Then I went to the opposite corner of the rag, and said in Arabic "I know you; lume here to mel" lie instantly turned his head toward me; I repeated the words, and thereupon he came to the corner of the cage where 1 was standing, tressed his huge, ungainly head against the ars of the cage, and looked in my faro with a touching delight while I stroked his mvxsle. 1 have two or three times found a lion who recognized the time language and the expression of his eyes, for an instant, seemed positively human. I know of notbing more moving, indeed semi-tragic, than the yearning hel pletsoe8 in the fac f a dog who understand what is said 10 biin and can not answer. We often hear it paid that no animal can endure the steady gas of the human eye; but this is a uperstitution. An intelligent dog or' horse not only endures, but loves It. The eye of a aeatt is restle- from natural habit, but hard ly more so than that of savage man. Cats, birds, and many other animals, seek rather than avoid a friendly human eye. It is toe atble that titers 11 ay have turned away by an unflinching gaze, but I suppose the secret lay in the surprise of the beast at so amisual an experience, rather than in direct -introidatior Thieves are said to have the belief that a dog for the same reason, will not at tack a naked man, but I do not remember any account of a burglary where they have tried the experiment. - Cattle, however, are easily surprised. One in 1M9. on the Salinas plains in California, I scaped exactly the same onset of a vast herd f wild rattle as Mr. Harte describes la his Gabriel Oouroy, by sitting down upon the ground. They were so unaccustomed to seeing a man, except on horseback, that the position was an absolute bewilderment to hem. The foremost halted within a hun 4 red feet, formed a line as regular as a file of soldiers, and stared etupidiy, until team, luckily approaching at the right time, relieved me from my hazardous situation Few persons are aware of the great effect which quiet speech exercises upon theauost savage dog. A distinguished Knglish poet told me that' he was once walking in the coon try with Canon Kiogsley, when they passed a lodge where an immense and fterce asttfT, confined by a long chain, rushed out upon them. They were just beyond his reach, bnt the chain did not seem secure; the poet would have hurried past, but Kinsley, laying a hand upon his arm, said, "Wait a moment and we me subdae him I ' There upon he walked up to the dog, who. erect upon his hiud feet, with open jaws and glar ing eye, was the embodiment of animal fary. Kingsley lifted his hand and quietly aid, "You have made a mistake; yon tiKUA ro back to your kennen ' The dog sank down npon bis fore -feet, but still growled aojtfcily: the-canon repeated bis words in a firm voire, advancing fctep by step, as the doe g"ve way. lie continued speaking grave re proof, as to a human being, unui be bad forced the mastitT back into his kennel. where the latter silently, and perhaps remorseittiiy.'uy down. I can not now-tell whether I remembered this story, or acted simply ttom a sudden In stinct, -in a very 4ftmilar case. I was in San Francisco, and went to call apon a gentle roan 01 bit acquaintance, wlu lived upon Kiraon Paint. The house stood a little back from the street, -La a beaulKul garden. I walked up between clumps of myrtle and fuchsia to the door, and rang the belt. In stead of an answer, (here was a savage bay; hooee and rubhnl at roe with every egn of I a nous attack. 1 faced him, stooJ Uli, and said, ' I am a friend of Air. , and have come to visit him.

The animal paused, listened inU-ntly. but or as evi dently not en'trely oosvinced; ho stiH growlfd and hhowrd bis teeth in rather an alarum 1: .'anner.

But the extent to which a horse also may be made to understand speech is not so generally, known. The simple fact that he likes to be talked to makes him attentive to the sounds, and I ant convinced that in a great many oases be has an impression of the meaning. I have at present a horse who served his country during the war, and came to me only after its close. His experience while on scouting service made him very susnioous of any gray object, as 1 soon oieouvemi; lie would thy at a fallen log in a thicket, a ßimpee of mosey rock or a laborers coat ft in a fence corner. Py stopping him whenever this happened, and telling him in an a&Miring tone that there was nothing to fear, he was very soon completely cured of the habit. But he still lifts up his head, and would, if be could, cry "Ua! ha!" when he hears the sound of the trampet. The affection and fidelity of the horse have always been admitted. My first acquaintance with these qualities was singular enough to be related. When a boy of 14, I was walking along a lonely country road with a companion of the same age, and came upon an old gray hor&e, etanding in the middle of the track, over a man who was lying upon his back. We hastened np to give assistance, bat presently saw that the man, instead ot being injured, was simply dead drunk. He had tumbled off, on his way home from the tavern, and a full bottle of whisky, jolted out of his pocket in' falling, lay by bis aide. The fore feet of the horse were firmly planted on each side of his neck, and the hind feet on each side of his legs. The position eeenied to us dangerous for the man. We took the animal by the bridle and attempted to draw him away, but he resisted with all his strength, snorting, laying back his ears, and giving every other sign of anger. It was apparent that he had carefully planted himself bo bm to completely protect his master against any paasing vehicle. We assisted the faithful creature in the only possible way by pouring the whisky in the dust and left him until help could be summoned. His act indicated not only affection, involving a sense of duty, but al more than one process of reasoning. The same horse once revealed to me the latter quality in a surprising way. In tell ing the story privately I find that it is sometimes iacredulourtly received ; yet I am sure that no one who cherishes the proper respect for animals will refuse it credence. In the company of a friend I was driving along a country road in a light, open buggy. I paid no attention to the horse, for he could turn, back, or execute any othrr nianeuvre in barnes as well without as with a driver. Halting at a house where my friend wished to Call, I waited for him outside. Presently the hon looked back at me, twisting his body between the thills in a fcingular fashion. I perceived that he had some communication to make. "What is the matter now, Ten?" Thereupon by twisting a little more, he managed to hold up hla right foot, and I saw that the shoe had been lout. "That's right," said I, "you mo all have a new shoe as soon as we get to the village." He set down his foot, and for a moment seemed satisfied. Then the same turning of the head and twisting of the body were repeated. "V hat, Benl i anything elae the matter?" I asked. He now lifted his left bind foot, which was still shod. I was quite at a loss to understand him. and remained silent. He looked back at me. out of thecorner of his eye, and evidently saw that I was puzzted, whereupon be set down his foot and seemed to think. Almost immediately he lilted it up again, and shook it vigorously. The loose shoe rattled I There was a positive process of reasoning in this acfc and it is too simple and clear to be interpreted in any other way. Three weeks after the great fire in Chi ca ps, in 1971, I saw a parrot which bad saved itelf from the general fate of all household treasures there. It had belonged to my old friend, Mrs. Kirkland, and was doubly cbensued ty her daughter. vnenit was evident that the house was doomed, and the red wall of fare, urged by the hurricane. was sweeping towards it with terrific speed. Ilms Kirkland saw that 6b could rescue net hing except what she instantly took in her hands. There were two objects especial ly dear the parrot and the old family Bible; but she was unable to carry mere than one of them. After a eingle moment of choice she seized the Bible, and was has ten ing away, when the pirrot cried out in a loud and solemn voice, "Good Lord, deliver u4 No human being, I think, would have been deaf to such an appeal; the precious Bibb) was sacrificed and the parrot saved. The bird really possessed superior intelligence I heard hnu say "yes or no, in answer to qti'Wtions, the latter being varied, so as to admit, alternately, of both replies; and the test -of his knowledge was perfect. In the home where he had found a refuge there were many evening visitors, one of whom. gentleman, was rather noted for his monopoly of the conversation. When the .parrot first beard bim, it listened in silence for some time: then to the amazeatent, per haps the confusion, of aU present, it said. very sympathetically, "You talk altogether too much I" The gentleman, at first somewhat embarrassed, presently resumed the in terrupted discourse. Thereupon the parrot laid uia head 00 one side, gave an indeecrib ably Corsica! and con temp taous 'H'a-ni!" and addod. "There he goee againl" If there ever was an wittere tembl it is the parrot; bis instinct for discovering ways and means of anneyance is somewhat dlabwiical. If the little brain of a bird contain so Much, ' manifested to us ajmply becanne its vmgue tuay be Langtit to utter articulate sounds, why have we not a right to assume a much greater degree of intelligence to aiilmals to whom articulation is iaaKietibU;? If d'gi or horses were capable of imitating our speecR, as well as comprehending it. they not have a great deal more iJ say to us? Articulation is a mechanical. not an intellectual, peculiarity; but in the caaeof the parrot, and notably the tmino, it is generally so employed a to prove very much tuore thtn routine and coincidence. I never saw a uino(the oame 1j possibly a corruption of tnotiwytu) bet once. . I entered the vacant reading room tit a hotel, early in the morning, took up a paper and sat dawn, when suddenly a. voice aaii, "Good morning!" I saw nothing but wkat st emed to be ft blackbird in a cage and oid not have believed that the perfectly ha man voice caai from it, bad it not once more said, in the politest tone, "Good morning!" I walked to the cage and looked at it. ''Open the door and let me out, please!" aald Uie little bird. -Why, what are your I involuntarily exclaimed. ' I'm a niino!' answered the amazing creature.

A Hevlew of the Ow As It Stand, and the Law Governing- IL. New York Hun.l At regular intervals since William M. Tweed was brought to this city from 8 pain rumors have prevailed that he was to be re leased from custody. Most of these reports were indebnite. and bore uwn their face in dications of a want of foundation. About 10 days aw a rumor became current that the ex-bowj was to be released on the 5th of March. Rime Seventh warders who for years followed the leader ship of the ex-Tammany chief were willing to bet that the "thing had been fixed," and that he would be at liberty on the day of the inauguration of Mr. Hayes. On the 5th of March the gentlemen who were spreading the rumor evinced no surprise at the failure of the realization of their hopes. They insisted that some trouble about the papers had caused the delay. They were confident, however, that Mr. Tweed was to be released, and every day since then have been Baying, with an air of wisdom, "It is to be done to morrow." Inquiry of the persons who have circulated this rumor showed that it was believed that Mr. Tweed's release was to be anVcted under the act commonly called the "Fourteen Day act." This t-ct provides that any person imprisoned on an execution in a civil suit, the judgment in which exceeds $500, may at any time after three months of his imprisonment has expired petition the court ; from which the execution was issued, or county court (in this city the court of com men pleas), for his discharge. The petition must set forth the cause of the imprisonment, and to it there must be attached a true account of a!l bis real and personal proierty as they were at the time of the im-arcerationftand at the time the petition was prepared. Fourteen days prior to the presentation of the petition notice of the time and place at which it is to be presented must be served on the creditors at who stiit he is imprisoned. When the petition ia presented the appli cant mnst make an affidavit that be baa not Mieposed of any part of bis proier ty for the benefit of himself or or bis family, or with the intent to injure or defraud any of his creditors. On the receipt of the petition the court orders the petitioner to be brought before it. If satisfied, after an examination, that the applicant's petition and account are correct and true, the court will order an assignment to be made of a sufficient amount of the fetitioner'a property to diliarge the executions on which be was imprisoned. The assignment haying been tnade, an the property having been delivered to the adgneea appointed by the court, the prisoner is discharged. A lawyer, who is cognizant of the present condition of the suits against the members of theold ring, said: Tbe execution in the $6.000,000 suit is not the only process under which Mr. Tweed is confined. There is an orier of arrest in the $1,(100,000 suit, on which he -could be hetd should he be discharged front further prwecution in the $5 000,000 salt through the 14 day act. He might postiblf settle the $1,000.000 suit, or give the bait required in the order of arrest, and thus get out of jail. He would, however, still be liable to be tried Ou the criminal indictments that were found arainst him. In sotoe of theee cases he baa not given bail, and be might, therefore, be arrested and locked up in tbe Tombs. . Another possible barrier to Mr. Tweed's securing his release under tthia law ia that section of it which requires that he hall account for all the property that he had when be waa imprisoned and when bis petition is presented, and hall me an a&lavit that be has not disposed of any of his property for his own or his fauitly's benefit, or to Inj are or de fraud any , of his creditors. Now.: Mr. Tweed may bare eenveyed property . to others since . the suit for $3, 000, WOO was begun. He might be able to prove that none of it was disposed of for his or his family's beneft or to injure his creditors. Hut a failure to n.ake that clear t the Court, or to prove, after his ansian bad been appointed, that he had transferred all bis property to them, would defeat hivducharge. I believe," continued the gentleman, ''that Mr. Tweed's counsel is confident that ne will be able to secure hit client' re-Iea-. How he expect to achieve that result is beat known tohim-elf. 1 havehar.1 that Mr. Tweed might perhaps bn induced to testify for the prosecution in some of the ring suits not yet tried. I have been led to believe that Mr. O'Conor and Mr. Peck ham are now more desiron of puihing ILe d.Ut IsUX Ia. Sink ud

ex-Compt! oiler Connolly than of farther j prosecnth e Mr. Tweed; and it has been hint-

ea to lue iuai we ex-ousa ungut üb given aim liberty by consenting to testify against either or both of these gentlemen. Whether he will appear azdnsthis former associates ia to be seen. He has the repu tation of never giving away bis friends, and that reputation has certainty b en borne out by his conduct since he was first arrested. Htill the prospect of regaining bis liberty is a temptation te which !e may yield. Besides, be is said to entertain feelings by no means cordial for Mr. Con n4ly. Bhould this course be resorted to. Mr. Tweed will not be likely to be released until about the time the trial of the suits against Sweeny and Connolly is begun. Mr. bweeny's case is set down for the April term of the supreme court, but no time has been fixed for the trial of the suits against Mr Connolly. "It is posHible," added the gentleman, "that before he is released Mr. Tweed may have to pay as much of the judgment against him as he can. 1 don't believe he can pay a very large sum. He was never as wealthy as people supjod him to he. I doubt whether he is worth to-day a half million of dollars." In 1872 the legislature appropriated $50,000,000 to b expended by the comptroller of this city in payment of the counsel fees that might be incurred by the attorney general of the state and Charles O'Conor, or under their direction in the prosecution of the suits and criminal proceedings growing out of the ring frauds. In 1873 an appropriation of $25 000 was made for the same purpose, and the aame amount was appropriated in 1874 and in 1876. The books of the finance department shew thatnf the $25.000 appropriated la.t year $21,094.23 had not been expended. Those who profess to kßow tbe intentions of the representatives of the attorney general say that even the refusal of the legislature to appropriate niore money will not deter them from vig orously prosecuting the ring suits. They .intend to try the case against Mr. 8weeney in April, whether or not the defendant is here. The suits against Mr. Connolly are to be pursued as soon as the Sweeney case is finished. The judgments. If they are ob tained, will probably be sued wherever the defendants may be found. This procedure is allowed, it is claimed, by the extradition treaties between the United States and tbe several European governments. The story that Mr. Tweed is to furnish to the public a narrative of his escape frotn Ludlow street jail and of his arreet in Spain, and the rumor that he is to publish an auto biography in which he will make known the sums he paid in the heyday of bis power to secure legislation, and the names ot the senators and assemblymen who got the money, have afforded much merriment to Mr. Tweed's old friends. "What! the old man squeal on his old friends!" laughingly said a Heven Ui warder who followed the ex Boss s leadership for years. and vet remains as true to him as when together they pulled on "Big Six's' rope. "No. sir; he'll never do it. He's true blue, and he'll never go hack on anybody who ever helped him, although many ot t'.iem have gone back on him. He has kept his mouth shut during his long imprison ment, and he isn t going to squeal now, when there is a chance that his troubles will soon end. Nor will he ever tell how he es caped from Ludlow street jail. He am t a fool. Far from it He is as clear headed as they make 'em. If any one of the keepers helped bim to get away nobody will ever know it. .And if he did the whole job him self he II never tell how it was done." A gentleman who has conversed with Mr. Tweed since bis return from Spain, says that overtures of various kinds were made to him after his arrival in this country, to induce him to say something of Governor Tilden, which might be used by toe repuoii cans as an election camnaln document. To every solicitation, says the gentleman. Mr. Tweed replied: "I know nothing against Mr. Tilden, and if I did I would not tell It to anybody." ihe gentleman arguea from this incident that all these stories that Mr Tweed will publish anything against any of hid former political associates are too absurd to be credited. CHAMBERLAISCR CASE. He Nyw Haje (an Mot Abandon Xllna Wftatoat the Orert Perfidy. Columbia Dispatch to the X. Y. Herald.) As soon as it became known that these let ters, about which so much mystery existed, were to he published, the Herald correspon dent called upon Oovernor Chamberlain to ascertain bis views, and the following brief conversation took place, the governor being very positive and emphatic ia his expressions: Correspondent How will the confirma tion of tlm cabinet effect affairs here? : Governor Chanberlain 1 see no reason to believe that the cabinet will take any view unfavorable to tbe claims of the republicans here. There ia no doubt the southern question is one of which the country ia tired. It will not be popular juetnow to do exact justice here, and friends of the new administration have been anxious to relieve it of the neceiity of taking definite sides In this great controversy. When, however. Presi dent Haym and his cam net come to tbe ques lion. I believe they will be obliged to d j re oublicaiis justice here. Certainly a majority of the cabinet are men who have hitherto held views which will not permit them now to desert southern republicans, or fail to do them full iiwtlce. Correspondent Do you etill look for recognition for your government? Governor Chamberlain Certainly I do, What I have already said implies that I ex pect to be able to show 1'resident Hayes and his cabinet that both' law and justice are on our side, and if I do they will sustain us. Correspondent Have you any late favorable advices front Washington? Oovernor Chaaiberlai n -1 have letters and dispatches emthastsing what is substantially stated in today's dispatches regarding the president's interview with our Colored delegation from this Btate. The president, and those who seem to know his purposes and feelings, declare unanimously that he will do ju.itioeand Insist on justice and protection to republicans here. I fully believe it. lie can notdo otlierwise without the grossest perfidy, of which Tresldent Hsyes ought not to he snspected until his nets show it. .Tills closed the interview, your correspondent sparing the governor the humiliation of an answer to the next question that suggested itself, as follows: 5 '"In the event of your recognition, boor do you propose to maintain your government fn the state?"' , fteudiMloMKl Suicide.

A MARINE BIP.

Philadelphia Hea Cap tn I it Finds the Lnjr of the Land Sadly Changed After m fefaort Voyage, Philadelphia Times. Captain John Bnrton, roaster of one of tbe steamers of the Occidental line, plying between this city and Havana, arrived yesterday from a round trip of ten days duration. The captain is an ardent republicar. Wh-n he left home his m:nd waa oppressed with gloom. The electoral commission had concluded its labors but it seemed the setffed purpose of tbe democrats in the house to ob struct the progress of the count to such an extent that it would be impossible to have a peaceful inauguration, while many were inclined to think there would be a new elec tion. Captain Burton waa. therefore, relieved on landing to learn that the inauguration bad taken place. He went to his fa vorite resort, the Union League club, to learn the particulars. There he met bw old fried Colonel Mnowdrift, who always knows the news. "Glad to see you, John," snid the colonel, and I know 3 ou are rejoiced to hear that the country is safe. I was just reading a good thing in the Bulletin, giving Blaine a sharp rap. By the way, what an ass be baa made of himself!" The Bulletin? Ass? Blaine?" replied Burion. "surely tbe Bulletin baa not gone over to the democrats!" "Ob. noi'.but Blaine's course, you know. has been too outrageous for anything. The idea of his antagonizing the administration at the very start."Biaine antagonizing the administra tion?" "Yes, as the Bulletin says:" When the pubfie business of this nation is intrusted to men of proved fitness, who shall rem In in place to do the wrk to which they are trained it 1 powxible tnat the elective oflloea will ne filled generally by men who have some other oUlrn to th-m thau their capacity lor making proraiaes to the mob of place-hunters, and of bei r "hall leliow, well met" with every ragamuffin who has a longing thirst to taste of the stream that flows from tbe public treasury. ' I wonder how the Camerons will take that sort of talk?" Captain Barton stared at his friend in amazement Was it possible that Snowdrift bad turned reformer? No. it could not be; this was a guy. He snatched the paper in his friend's hand. Yes, it was the Bulletin, and the words read were correctly quoted. But why this fling at the Camerons? "I am glad to see," continued Snowdrift, "that old Simon has been beaten at last. But the cheekiest thing he has ever done ia this attempt to put Don in the senate." '-Don in the senate! Then Wallace la dead? You don't mean it?" "Nothing of the kind; but of course th old man wasn't going to stay in the senate after Schuri and Key had been crammed down his throat." "I beg you to explain." 'Why, don't you know that Schurz and Kev were appointed to cabinet placeB?" "S -.hurt and Key! Who is Key?" "Why, the ex rebel general, you know; the one who was a democratic senator from Tennessee. He was a great Tilden man, and of course it was right to give bim a show." Captain Barton was again agitated. "Is it poscible that I have been misinformed? Did Tilden get in after alir "Why, no. you stupid fellow. But conciliation is the watchword nnder the new rtqxmr. As the National Kepumtcan re marks, 'the adyenturers must withdraw and leave the original inhabitants of the south to control their own a Hairs in their own way:' and as the same aide paper says in another place, 'the gory garment must be "You pntzle roe beyond measure, colonel. I never expected to bear this sort of talk from you.'' "I don't see anything astonishing about it The president is in earnest, and, with 8herman and Schurz in the cabinet, Matthews and Lamar in the senate and Garfield and Oibeon in the bouse, the bloody shirt will never flap in the morning breeze again. "Who is Matthews and who is Gibson?" "Gibson is one of the beet of our ex-con federate. He is from Louisiana; noble fellow! Matthews? Don't yon remember Stanley Matthews? He is going to the senate in place of Sherman. Garfield is needed in the boose, as the president says. to aid in the work of pacification. A few weeks more and Packard, Chamberlain and all the rest of tbe carpet-baggers will be packing their traps." "What!. It isn't proposed to throw them overboard?" "Of course, old boy, of course; a government that can not sustain itself has no right to exist Thr secretary of war and attorney general will attend to the carpet-baggers, never fear." ''Now, colonel, yon are carrying this quiz too far. I was half Inclined to believe you. but when vou say that- Cameron and Taft have gone back on Packard and Chamber Iain, vou must take me for a greeny." "Taft and Cameron; the why they're not in the new administration. What use has Haves for such Bourbons?" "What! You don't mean to say that after electing Hayes these good republicans have been set adnftr . "I don't mean anything else. 8ach ob structionists are no republicans. They mnst go to the rear, sir; they mnst go to the rear. But you are behind the age; it will take too much time to get you straight Read The Times, old boy. and see what has been going on for the past ten days, and then come np to the club-house to-night and fall into line. Armitt Brown and Wayne McVeigh are going to speak, and they'll make it lively for tbe carpet baggers. Ha! ha!" This capped the climax. That Snowdrift should advise anybody to read The Times! Burton's worst suspicions were confirmed. His friend had gone over to the democracy. Nevertheless, half doubting whether he was awake, hs picked up the Press and found, in running over half a dozen insnea, that the half had not been told. "It's Kip Van Winkle outdone!" he muttered as he sadly left the reading room, and with determined tread went down to Seventh and Chestnut to hear the truth from lips which are never faithless to party. Wauled An Heir. New York 8un. Robert Dillon, an aged retired merchant, without any known kindred, lived in Cot tage Place, in thia city. He was, it was rapposed, an Ameri -an, of Irish parentage. As a provision dealer in Whitehall street be accumulated a fortune estimated at from $50,' 000 to $75.000, all in personal property. He died on the 17th of January, leaving a will, made in April, 1875. The residuary legatee named in the will is David H. Decker, grocer, of 55 Whitehall street whose share is probably not less than $50,000. The rest of the property is distributed in small legacies to various friends. The will ha?lng been offered for probate, the public administrator appeared yesterday to contest it, on tbe grounds of undue influence and want of testamentary capacity. Itisalleecd on the part of the contestant that Dillon was paralytje, and that the will was entirely different in its terms frotn what had been expected by some of his frienria. The opposition to the will is prompted by parties who thought they had rsju vo look for a lccy jmi did act c: it
