Some time ago there was a discussion in the learned journals regarding “In tellcct in Brutes,” and I thought then, ns I think now, that much of the controversy depended on the definition wc assign to the word “intellect.” Some say that It is merely an exaltat ion of the natural instinct of the brute; others thal it is an exhibition of true reason. Bui then, what is instinct? Some arguer mystify their hearers, and exhibit tlieii own ignorance of the subject by reply ing: “Instinct is only that in animal which we call reason in man.” Well this is not the place to argue the subject but I shall exhibit certain facts, observe! by myself, in the behavior of the elc phauts employed in the Moulmein tim ber-yards, ahtl leave my readers t< judge whether they were due to instine or reason.

Anchored abreast of Aga Sync! Abdul Hosein’s timber-yard, and within bare swinging distance of the shore, I had ample opportunities of minutely observing and recording the marvelous illustrations of the elephant's intelligence. These animals are largely employed in the timber-yards, and their functions consist in helping to embark and disembark the huge teak-logs, or move them about theyard; in fact, without them work would be at a stand-still. What struck me at oneewas the wonderful combination of enormous power with the gentlest, most loving docility. Here were huge logs being moved about as if they were; matches, and yet with the utmost regard to any one in the way. A ease in point. We were landing one dav at the Aga’s wharf, and found that the ebbing tide had left a thick layer of treacherous slime on the wooden slope, rendering it Impossible for a lady to land. Seeing this, the manager called out to a mahout or driver, and in a moment his elephant pushed a log down tliA slope, just stopping short of the boat, and affording the lady a dir surface to step out upon. There must have been intellect in this act; for the great log was not pushed down at random on the wharf, nor into collision ' with the %;at, but exactly at the right spot and ifto (he right place. ' All elephant-work isperformed either by the trunk or right #>t in pushing; by blink and tusks combined, as in carrying logs; or by the strength of the whole body in dragging. Dragging elephants are furnished with a light wooden packsaddle, on which the mahout sits sideways, and to which the traction-chain •is attached. This is Y-shaped, the leg being greatly prolonged and ending in a hook. Let us watch the handlingyjf this log—twenty feet long by sixteen inches square—which has to be dragged i across theyard. The chain is passed round it by an assistant and then firmly hookod; and how the elephant has to do the rest. His first action is to get his hind legs well within the Y of the chain, and then he starts, the log helplessly following. Arrived at its destination the elephant disencumbers himself of the log by unhooking the chain with the finger of his trunk, and then pnllitig it from under the log or pushing the latter to one side. Now, mark what was involved in this apparently simple operation, the solo guidance to which was either the voice of the mahout, a fiat from his stiek, or a tap from his ieels. First, there was the getting inside the V. Why did the old fellow do that? He has learned from experience that if he did mot traction would be interfered with and his legs rubbed by the chain. Was not his actjjta, therefore, dictated by reason? Secondly, ' there was the unhooking of the chain.

wmcn instinct could never have prompted. Imitation was at work; the elephant had seen that tho unhooking of the chain liberated the losr. and had learned to follow the example—show-'-ing clearly the domination of reason. . Here are some logs being adjusted on the wharf-slope. Note the ease "with which tho elephant pushes each into its place with, apparently, the slightest movement of trunk or foot. Matte this <rae, which, by a greater than necessary exercise of force, has become tilted up against its.fellow. The elephant has noted it,, too", and half-kneeling, and getting his tusks under it, he pulls the log backwards a little, and it drops square with its fellow. What dictated that action? Mathematical order arid precision belong to the bee, and are said8 to be instinctively implanted in that humble animal; but could there liave been anything in this elephant’s antecedents to have prepared it for rearranging a dislocated log? Surely the impulse seized it at the moment., and must have been due to a sense of order or tidiness implying the presence of reason. Odd lengths of log, varying from four to six feet, are carried about Ihe yard by elephants, a species'Of work which is distasteful to them, as exhibiting their awkward points. Indeed, they evidently feel degraded by it, for they set to work with an air of resignation quite foreign to their shifting or jlragging feats. There they rejoice in “heir great strength, and are fond of exhibiting it. Here, little strength is needed; but the operations involve iroughish treatment of the nose, and we know that all animals, including man, are very particular as to how their noses are handled. The elephant is proud of his strength, but sensrhve with regard to his trunk, especially when that delicate organ is brought bear upon any rough work; and as the securing of a log between 1he trunk and tusks necessitates a large amount of awkward movement, I noticed that the selected elephant approached the job with reluctance, Re- ■

_the WPTbf gravity, at once tends to lirop; Wid to obviate this, the poor brute has to raise his head on high. Thus constrained, h® commences his march with slow stateliness, as if to make the test ot a bad job, and not let the world at large know that he is virtually talking blind-fold. And so he is; for the eleva-' tion of his head upsets the as is of his vision, and he has to walk more by touch than by sight. I have thus attempted to describe the main duties which elephants have to discharge in the timber-yards, and I have mentioned that they are guided by the voice, stick, or heels of the mahout. Watching them from shipboard, you are quite close enough to note every movement of the animal, but not sufficiently near to catch the signal, so that the elephantine actions seem purely automatic, and therefore the more astonishing. But when you are alongside the animal, and can sen and hear the simple signals under which he works, yon are equally astonished at the thordugh manner in which he understands what he is expected to do, and the very little prompting he requires. On one occasion, I arranged with a mahout to bring up his elephant to where I was standing, that I might indicate the work to be done, the mahout to be absolutely silent. Standing by a six-foot log, I beckoned to the mahout, and up came the elephant. *-Arrivingat the spot, and being without chains, he musr Tfave opined that dragging was not intended. There remained, then, pushing or carrying, the latter operation being tlie one which the sagacious creature saw was intended, for he proceeded at once with his awkward preparations for carrying it away. Throughout this test the mahout was absolutely silent, and, as far as I could see, quite passive. The result of it was that the elephant divined what I, a stranger, wished him to do, and did it. On another occasion, I applied the test to a difficult object, an eighteen-inch cube of teak, which the dear old fellow at once arranged to carry off; but how to do it he could not at first determine. As his tusks diverged more than eighteen inches, they were no support, and the many sharp corners of the cube sorely tried the delicate trunk. After some failures, lie managed to seize the fragment by the center, and then raise it up below the tusks against his lower lip. As he iiad virtually accomplished the task, I discontinued the experiment, expressing my satisfaction and delight to the "manager, who somewhatdamped my ardor by informing me that the mahout, while abstaining from use of voice or stick, might have conveyeithis wishes to the elephant by preasuiejvfth his. heels! v But a moment's reflection increased my admiration at the elephant’s intelligence, for, allowing that, the mahout’s heels had pressed his side, how could sueli pressure inform him that he was neither to drag nor push, but carry? Surely the mahout could not have possessed a code of pressure-signals with >vhieh he had indoctrinated the elephant in prospect of curious visitors. If he had, then it must have included voice and stick-signaling as well, to either of which I might have resorted. No; I believe that the elephant acted independently of signals, and reasoned on what he had to do, by what was laid before him.

Hitherto, we have seen the elephant, in the yard; Ictus follow him into the mill, and there admire the triumph of reason over instinct. We all know how naturally timid and nervous the elephant is and how susceptible to noise. Well, watch this noble old fellow solemnly dragging in a huge log to the saw-mill. Onward he moves, undismayed by the horrid panting of the engine or the screeching of the saws. Instinct would have tempted him to turn tail and flee from the noisy turmoil.; reason keeps him at his task, confident that amid the uproar and apparent confusion, perfect order and safety prevail. And so, with flapping ears and swaying trunk, he yields up his log to the grip of the remorseless saw, and goes offhn-c-oncerned to find a fresh victim. It was very pleasing to see that the Aga’s elephants were kindly treated and well cared for; the goading anktis (iron hook and prod) was nowhere to be seen. A daily as well as a rigidly observed weekly rest was secured to them; besides, their cleanliness is well looked after; and morning and evening they are taken into the river to be we* scrubbed, the termination of each bath being a triple dive, which they -enjoy immensely. On a second visit to Monlmein, I noticed another totally different illustration of confiding reason in the elephant. We were at anchor in the river in a strongly flowing tide, when a deeply sunk raft with green forage, two men and two elephants swept swiftly past. Tho elephants stood motionless and quite unconcerned, knowing that they were under secure pilotage, and quite safe as long as they remained quiet. II they had proved restless, the raft must have come to grief.—Chambers' Journal. VAGARIES IN HATS.

ine Curious Headgear Worn by the People of the Fifteenth Century. If we examine one of Flippino Lippi’s “Adorations of the Magi,” in which he has collected representatives of all the wealtli and luxury of his age, we shall find abundant evidences of the varied and curious forms of the hat which then prevailiil in Italy. Here are not only the hood simple, or turned into a cap; not only the plain fez and the fez rising something like a tiara, looking as if three fezzes had been placed one on another, the whole supported on the head by a double roundlet, but all kinds of fantastic forms. One resembles a magnificently gilded twelfth cake; a second may be likened to a collection of melons poised on the top of a tin-ban; a third is a blue sugar loaf with the hood tied round its base, the point cut off and the round space painted red; a fourth represents one of those enormous shells which mark a mariner's home; a fifth is shaped like a beehive, being nothing but a long roundlet twisted six times to the form of the head $nd finishing at the crown in a kind of tendril. Others have enormous fan-like brims coming out on either side of the brow and streaked so as to look like the petals of a gigantic sweet pea, or the same brims are seen with tall crowns covered with gilt braid. And if we may trust Uccello, still more fantastic was the head gear of Italian soldiers. Ia one of his battle pieces at the Louvre the hats of die combatants come out from the background like so many great and marvelously streaked Chinese lanterns dancing through dark streets at the head of a procession in carnival time. Thus the spirit of evil sought in the fifteenth century to create in Italy a Merry Andrew world and so to turn men’s thoughts from fastening too seriously on the dissolution which threatened their National life and liberties.— Magazine of Art. —Australia, which is usually supposed to be destitute of rivers, possesses one which is the third in rank among the rivers of the world.

Congratulates HU Fellow-Countrymen Upon th e Success of the Democ ratic Party In the Recent Klectioa and Outlines Its Policy. New York, November 20. Several thousands of people filled the Brooklyn Rink this evening for the purpose of a jubilation over the election of Cleveland and' Hendricks, and to listen to s peeches from the Vice-President elect and from Rev. nenry Ward Beecher as well. The buildings in t he vicinity of the Rink were illuminated and bunting was employed to attest the political sentiment of some near-by dwellers. At- seven o’clock the band took position on the front steps of the Rink, the doors were opened, and half an hour later .every sitting place was occupied. Benches were brought in from the neighboring prayer-meeting room, and were filled as fast as provided. The aisles were rapidly filled, and all the open space before the platform was taken possession of by ladies unable to find chairs. Shortly before eight o’clock the band entered the building, and Its place wras supplied by pyrotechnics and burning tar and shap parrels. The atmosphere, which otherwise was raw andunhospitable, became mellow and more endurable, as it was w armed by a steadily increasing throng. No prominent Democrat in Brooklyn was missing from the rink, and there were many prominent citizens present who are not within the Democratic fold. The hour of eight came and was passed. The crowd inside had increased to nearly 4,000 people, but it was 8:30 p. m. when a slap of a pair of bands near the rear doors was taken up by another pair of hands until at last a storm of cheers swept over the audience. VicePresldent Hendricks, had entered the hail, and by those near the door had been recognized. Soon he began mounting the'steps of the stage upon the arm of Judge Van Wyck. As Mr. Hendricks stepped upon the platform, where he could be seen by all in the building, the audience was on its feet by a common Impulse. Men cheered and waved their hats, ladies waved their hands and handkerchiefs, and the band joined in a general acclaim. Judge Van Wyck, at 8:35, culled the meeting to order, and in brief terms introduced ex-Mayor John W. Hunter, who was received with cheers, with warm compliment to Indiana and Thomas A. Hendricks, and then, amid tiii^iultuous cheers, he presented that gentleman. w ho advanced and spoke as follows: HR. HENDRICKS’ SPEECH ‘•Ladies and Gentlemen: On thjis occasion of mutual congratulation, you will permit me—will you not?—to speak briefly of Indiana. 1 Cheers]. Indiana sends greeting to the Democracy of New York, and very specially to the Democracy of Brooklyn and Kings County [cheers], and begs to assure them of her sympathy in the great cause in which they have fongiit together. Indiana and New York to-day join hands, and it is to be regretted that It.has to be over two great States—Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is no slight matter to you men of New York—you, the people of'thc seashore—that so great a Kate as Indiana, so rich, so populous, situated midway among the States, is firmly fixed in favor of the groat principles of free government. What shall 1 say of the general result after speaking of Indiana? Let me first finish about Indiana. She has elected the Electors of a President an cl VieeITeskUnt of the United States. She has chosen a Democratic Governor, nine Congressmen out of thirteen, a large majority in each branch of Legislature—unusually large —securing the return to the United States Senate of our faithful.representative, Daniel IV. Voorliees. She lias elected the entire State ticket, and attached to the Democratic cause many counties of the State, so tiiat the great State of Indiana to day and for the future is Democratic. I do not join yon to-night for any purpose of rejoicing: over the fall of an opponent. Ijnougif to know they have fallen. [Laughter and cheers ] 1 join you to rejoice, not that their flag has been trailed in the dust, but that ours flies in triumph over the land; not that they suffer the pangs of disappointment rtnd defeat, but that we, the representatives of Democracy, the polities of the people, are successful. It is to me a source of tlie greatest pleasure to meet you, my fellow-citizens of Brooklyn, who, like Connecticut and Massachusetts have followed the teachings of Thomas Jefferson and the great Democratic party.

THE COLORED VOTES. But I am also sorry that, aftorthe result, an attempt has been made to infuse into the minds of our colored Sbters that the success of the Democratic part y meant the destruction of tlie rights and privileges of our colored \ oters. This is a great wrong, Mv fel-low-citizens, as a free and' independent voter the colored voter entered the Democratic ranks, and ns a free and independent voter.he will remain under its broad banner and principles. We have . been for nearly the last quarter of a century suffering wit’ll great patience the rebuffs of the party in power, with the statement that we were not lit to be trusted. But on the 4th day of this month millions of our fellow-countrymen declared that we arc lit to be trusted. The name that they who were our opponents delighted to call us, “Old Bourbon party”—aye, accept the name —was a French name given to that race who fought for right. I thank the Indeiiendent Republican party, and to those of the ministry and the bar and of the other great professions who have stood by our side in the hour of trial. 1 knew year after year that the truth was might}- and must prevail. Yes, the truth[has prevailed. 1-will again repeat it: it lias prevailed. The people of the United Statesvisve taken up the great question of reform in all and every department. It does not mean that the change that has taken place means the destruction of our institutions, but a change, in the administration of the Government. Yes, there will be a change, but no destruction. When the Democratic party took hold of Cleveland and Hendricks it was likened to the cry of the traveler in the sledge who was followed by the wolves; but Cleveland and Hendricks came out of the battle better than tli'e traveler. Iam ashamed to say that the campaign just closed was certainly the most remarkable I ever took part In for calumny and falsehood. But I knew when 1 heard all this getting round that it would not avail, and 1 did not go out of my way t o say just one word, but just let matters take their course in Indiana, and sc it came out all right. LET US BE PATIENT. I do not wish to speak in terms of disparagement of those who must feel the pangs of defeat, but 1 will ask the Republican party who gave them the authority to sit in judgment on the party of the people ami say that It was not safe to trust the Government in our hands. This, my fellow citizens, has been answered by the voice of the people of the Empire State as well as the other States in no unmistakable terms. Let us be as patient now, in the, hour of triumph, as we have been In the l ing years of trial, we, they tell us, will he responsible for the future of this great country. Yes, and we accept the great responsibility that will bring peace and good government to the people of the United States. [Cheers], It was God that: gave us the power to set this great lesson—a lesson that we must abide by, and a lesson that I hope the Republican party will not soon forget—that the great work commenced and carried out by the people of the United States on the 4th of November last, when the Democratic party was once more placed In power, means nothing more nor less than a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Oh! you will see a great change after the 4th of next March, when President Grover Cleveland takes his seat at Washington. It has been decided by the people that there shall be a reform in the Government, executive reform, so that all the laws shall r !V8 - a“d„ Prt’Per construction, construction that shall bring blessings upon the common people, upon labor as welf as upon capital, a construction that will be in accordance with the true intent and meaning of the legislators; that there shall be administrative reform, so that there shall be no longer any inability to carry the mails across the country without loss to the public Treasury [cheers], so that there shall be honesty in all the departments of the Government,

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Bo you ask me If I am in favor of civil service reform? Ot course I am in favor of civil service reform. I am not in : flavor of a Continuance of so many things that we have seen in some years that are past. The people are tired of it and they want a change. Do you wish to know from me what civil service I have confidence in? I am very free to say to you to-night that I am not particularly confident of success after a scnoolm aster’s examination. But I will tell you what I have aonfidence in. As it was in the days of Andrew Jackson, let a true man come ito be the President of the United States, and let true men be called around him to aid him in the public service, and let these men resolve that the only test of qualification for office under them shall be honesty and fitness for the service, and [you have civil service reforin. [Cheers.] This great contest has established it in this country that there must be revenue reform. In his message of December, 1882, President Arthur informed Congress and the country that the revenue of the country exceeded by $100,000,000 the wants of the administration economically administered. A slight reform was made the next March thereafter, but after that the Secretary ot the Treasury, your defunct Judge Folger—honored be his name—tie is dead now—in his last report to Congress, while he lived, declared that the present revenue exceeded the wants of the Government by $85,000,000 a year, and that Is the last record on the subject. Eighty-five million dollars in excess of the needs of an economically administered government ! Now, my countrymen, to yon men of Brooklyn, to you merchants, to you business men, to you laboring men, to you skilled mechanics, 1 ask you, what is the standard by w hich the Government shall be regulated m the tuxation of the people? President Arthur expressed it as well as 1 am able to express it. He said that the only standard should he the needs of tiie Government economically administered. Bht Secretary Folger, in his last report to Congress, sifcid the question now presses on us, “What legislation will relieve the people of the burdens of unnecessary taxation?’* Aye, It is a burden, and it presses hard when It is $85,000,000 a yepr. flow much would that $85,000,000 do for the country if taxation were ccdiwted wipelv and judiciously sc- aa4o [save

_a murmuring arose In the direction of the entrance door and prow so loud that Mr. Hendricks paused and asked for somebody’s interference In the interest of silence. The remark produced instant silence. DEMOCRATIC THEORT Or TAXATION. * Continuing his address, he said; The question is, what is the position of the Democratic party upon the subject of taxation? 1 know no standard of taxation except that taxes shall not exceed the neoda of the Government economically administered. If you know of any better and safer standard of taxation what is it? At the Convention in Chicago the will of the Democracy of tills great nation was expressed in a few sentences. A resolution on taxation was adopted. Of course, that resolution related mainly to the tariff law. And now, it you please to give me your attention, I will state what the Democratic party at that Convention declared. It is expressed in four propositions. 1. Taxation shall not exceed the needs q' the Government economically administered That is borrowed from Mr. Arthur. 2. Taxation shall only be for public por poses, and not for private gain and specula tion. 3. In the adjustment of the taxes care shall be taken not to hurt labor, not to harm car ital. 4. Taxation shall be heaviest upon article* of luxury and lightest upon articles of necessity. These four propositions, my countrymen, express the entire Democratic doctrine on the subject of taxation; and when that great convention at Chicago adopted that platform it wrote it in letters of silver brightness on its banner, and that banner it handed to Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks, and they said: “This is the banner; carry it out before tho people, and stand dr fall by the banner." [CheersJ. That banner has been carried before the indomitable Democracy of Indiana. In triumph it waves to-day. In triumph it asserts to the American people everywhere that taxation shall only be for public purposes and only to the extent of the needs of Government. It shall be organized so ns not to hurt labor nor harm capital; it shall be heaviest on articles of luxury and lightest on articles of necessity. THE TARIFF.

They say the tariff is a very difficult thing to understand. I think it is difficult for those who wish to make it difficult and to impose somewhat upon the country. To me it is very plain, for it is written in those four sentences, It shall only be for the needs of the Government, it shall be adjusted so as not to hurt capital, not harm labor, and it shall be heaviest upon articles of luxury and lightest upon articles of necessity. [Cheers]. And now, my countrymen, if there be a Republican here that says nay to that sentiment of Democracy let him rise up and say it. Now is the time to say it, or, as they say at church, ■“forever thereafter hold your peace.” l^et me repeat it, and then you make your objection if ? ou choose each sentence by itself (pronouncng again the four sentences relative to taxation and pausing for reply at the end of each sentence). Is it possible that a Convention of the people, consisting of so many delegates, has been able to pass upon that difficult question of the tariff, and so as to express itself so that every man, woman and child in so large and intelligent an audiences as this is compelled to say, “That’s right?”. It is an uncommon indorsement of a Convention, and after this you won’t blame me much for beiug a whole-souled Democrat, will you? If a party is so clearly right upon the subject of taxation—one of the highest powers of government—it can not be much wrong upon anything else. Taxation comes to a man’s home and takes that for public use. That which w as his is his no longer. It is like the law of eminent domain that takes private property for public use; like the law of the Government that says to the young man in the bosom of the family, ‘War has come, and you must serve in the army.’ This power of taxation is one of the most tremendous that Government compasses or exercises, and now, when 1 have submitted sentence by sentence, and in detail, to this great audience, the sentiment is that for once, anyhow, the Democracy may be trusted. So, next spring, if Governor Cleveland shall call Congress together, the machinery will somew hat slowly commence, not to destroy, but to remove objections. THE REPUBLICAN TARIFF PLANK. Did you know the Republican party’s Chicago platform on the tariff subject pledged itself to reform in tl*e tariff so as to remove its inequal ties anil reform its excess? They pledged themselves to reform their own work. Since the war there has been no Democratic Secretary of the Treasury, all being in the control of the Republicans, and now at the end of twenty years they say to their countrymen: “Our legislative taxing of you is not equal; it produces an excess of revenue f and we pledge you to reform it.” It is too late now. The time for repentance is not passed, but the time for good work to make repentance good is now passed. Howr is it that on the subject of taxation the Republican party lias dared to come before the great elements of power in this country, New York City, Brooklyn City, and admit that the taxation is unequal? The language of their plattorm admits it is heavier upon one man than another; upon one class and interest than another. Will you be good enough to tell me what greater offense a political party in power can perpetrate than the making of an unequal tax law? As well might the Government in time of war ask your son to serve two years and your neighbor’s son four years; as w ell might the Government demand your private property without just compensation and make compensation to your neighbor for property taken under like circumstances. But no, we must have equality of taxation, and the man is going to have it that w'ay. The Republican party demand that the navy shall be restored. Well, don’t you think that is a very queer request for a party to make on itself? When Senator Bayard (cheers) was speaking in New York at a meeting not long since, lie stated that from 1865 to 1883 the construction and repairing of the navy cost the people of the United States over 1400,000,000. THE TRIBUNE AND THE TALLAt»OOSA. If w e believe the New Y’ork Tribune, wre have no navy. But as it only costs about $1,000,000 to build a man-of-war, we ought to have 4C0 ships at that rate. But three or four weeks ago we had a navy. It was called the Tallapoosa. It was no doubt a very poor one, for it could not fight and it could not run away. It wras merely a navy for pleasure,s sailing around with some of the heads of that department. Well, on one of the-»e excursions this navy of ours came in collision with a sailing ship and went down to the bottom of the sea. Some parties were so very unkind as to say it was a pity that the Secretary w as not then on board, but I am not one that indorses that sentiment. But I want to tell yon another story about our navy that took place in the harbor of Smyrna in 1854. Martin Kosta,who had been a Hungarian rebel took refuge on board an American ship in the harbor of Smyrna to escape from the pursuiteof this Austrian pursuers. He had intended to become a citizen of the United States, and to make this country his home. The Captain of an Austrian man-of-war, how'ever, took Martin Kosta a prisoner, with the intention of handing him over to be tried as a rebel. It was a great day for the American navy, when the man-of-war St. Luu;», commanded by the gallant Captain Ingram, sailed into that harbor, and w hen Martin Koster claimed the protection of the flag from under which he had been taken, Captain Ingrain sent word that if Kosta was not immediately put on board the St. Louis he would blow the Austrians out of the water, and although he had to live for a lapse of time in France, according to the stipulations, pending the action of the American Government, lie was thankful to the great and untiring efforts of Wm. L. Marcy, New York’s great son, who was then Secretary of State under Franklin Pierce’s administration, enabled to return and live in the United States, instead of passing the remainder of his life In an Austrian dungeon. And I will tell you, my fellow-citizens, that whoever is chosen after March next to fill the position of Secretary of the Navy will see that every dollar will be well spent toward once more bulking up our navy. Contrast that picture writh the administration which Mr. Lowell represents abroad Well, I believe Mr. Lowell is not coming back; but when President Garfield wras lying on his dying bed, and James G. Blaine was Secretary of State, the letter of McSweeney’s wife of the 16tli of September remained unanswered. McSweeny w*as allowed to remain in a British dungeon. How any Irishman, any relative of the Emerald Isle, could support the party who allowed that to occur, or support the party of Know-Nothingism of 1854, is beyond my comprehension. It will never, my friends, occur, you may rest assured, under the administration of President Cleveland. [Cheers.]

THE CARRYING TRADE. When Franklin Pierce was President the carrying tonnage of the United States was eighty-five per cent; now Itr is scarcely fifteen per cent. The carrying trade is now almost entirely carried on by ships of other nations, because we are not allowed to buy ships abroad and have them transferred under our flag. We arc so restricted that we can not compete with foreign builders, so our commerce neatly all done in foreign bottoms. There is not a ship of any size now building on the coast of-Maine. No, they are all principally built abroad, mostly on the Clyde. If you go abroad you sfce all the other flags representing the commerce of the world, of England, France and Germany; but you will not see our glorious flag, the Star-Spangled Banner. No; our commerce could he carried in a canoe. Ladies, with your American pride in your great country, and you, my fellow-citizens, who are always ready to fight the battles of your country, will you not feel proud of the great task we have now undertaken of putting our American commerce in the hands or American ship-build-ere? To the people of Kings County I am deeply grateful; to thoso who have so nobly rallied around the flag flung to the breeze in the name of Cleveland and Hendricks. Yon, like me, have been admirers and warm supFDriers of the principles of Andrew Jackson. remember when a boy going to village to see a political meeting and I asked the County Clerk, who was a man who would not kick a small boy aside, what was the meaning of tliebig hickory pole which stood in the center of the village. He told me it meant that when Andrew Jackson went to Washington he would make a clean sweep of all the corruption in the various departments, and I believe that when Grover Cleveland takes his place there we will have an honest and conscientious Administration, his motto, the hickory pole, as It is mine, as it Is yours, and we hope in future to see this great country carried on under an Admistration securing us all our rights in its future greatness and glory." Mr. Hendricks was loudly cheered at the close of his address. The chairmau announced that Mr. Beecher-was in Boston and adjourned the meeting. An informal reception was given to Mr* Hendricks, and lasted for some time.

PERMANENT PASTURES. now They May Be Made aicire Beautiful and Profitable Than They Now Are. Americans traveling in England are aften enthusiastic in their admiration of English permanent pastures, and Englishmen, in turn, who come to t]jis country, are sometimes at a loss to know how we can keep cattle at all upon such poor pastures as they sometimes find here upon our dry hill sides. A subscriber to the Farmer, recently returned from England, has been attempting to describe to ns an English pasture, as he found it at its best, on one of the noted stock farms in the ■outheastern part of the Island. Such luxuriance, such a depth of velvety verdure, he had never seen before, not even in the best pasture in the best natural grass districts of Vermont. Nor did he ever at home see such mountains of flesh and fat as he found lazily grazing in these luxuriant pastures. To the question we" put to our friend, can such pastures be made in this country, he answered: “Yes, not a doubt of it.” He said that the Englishman scouted the idea of keeping his cattle upon grass alone, even in a June pasture where the feed was a foot high, and as thick as a mat, but was giving them oil meal or c.otton seed meal in large troughs in the open air, and where the cattle could help themselves to it atl pleasure. Conditions in England and America are by no means alike. Here land on the average is low in price, there it Ls high; here the climate is snnny, there it is foggy much of the time, and just suited to continual growth of the grass crop. Here the winters are long, and our farmers give great attention to grass for hav, and to other crops grown for feeding in stables in winter. There the cattle are in the open air nearly the whole year through, and obtain a far larger part of their living from the pasture feed, turnips being extensively grown for winter feeding in the field. Natural pastures in England are rarely ploughed, and the very best land is devoted to pasture. It is believed that a pasture grows better as it grows older; the sod getting thicker, and the variety of grass greater. Here our pastures arc often the rough lands that are too stoney, too steep, or too poor to plough and cultivate. They are fed with no regard whatever to improvement, nor even to keeping up theirpresent state of fertility. They are over-fed in dry weather, and under-fed at othe^r times. Bushes and weeds get in anct\spread without any effort being madp' to exterminate them. It may not be/possible for all farmers to have as good pastures as are in England, but many might have most excellent ones, if they would treat their lands as the English farmers treat theirs.

Our best pastures would need to be made op lands which are now a little too wet for cultivation. There are many (thousands of such acres, now half grown .up to bushes, which only need underdraining to render them the best lands we have. Thorough drainage will put them in condition to bo pastured at any time after the ground settles in spring, without having the sod ruined by the trampling of animals. After draining they should be ploughed and thoroughly cultivated for a year at least, and manured heavily, especially if a crop be taken in the time. We would prefer taking off no crop; early in August we would sow a variety of seed suited for pastures; Kentucky blue grass, orchard grass, meadow fescue, white clover and red top would be the leading varieties. The next year we would turn in only young cattle that would tread the ground lightly, and we would not feed close. The second year cattle a little heavier might be turned in, and the third year would give a good firm sod. The after treatment would be moderate pasturing, heavy feeding of the animals with grain, and an occasional dressing of fine steamed bone and wood ashes, especially if milch cows were kept in the pasture. There is no doubt that such a method would produce as good a pasture as our American climate would allow of being made. The next question is, would it pay? As a rule we do not think it would. That is to say, a field treated in the way we have described would pay better as mowing than as a pasture, except where a pasture is wanted for keeping very choice cattle that require exercise for maintaining them in the best of health. A field treated as we have described, would produce three or four tons of hay per acre at two cuttings. In pasturing, much is soiled and injured by tramping of feet, and by pulling up while feeding. Then there are the unavoidable accidents, worms that eat off the roots, See that kills in winter, and drought in summer. Tho English landlord values his acres, and the English farmer his fat animals, more than either values the laborer that does the work, and earns the money to pay the rent. With us land is of less consequence than the man who tills H, er the man who is supported by the crops produced. As population increases and. land grows scarce, we shall learn to use It better, ft would pay to treat it better now than most of is do,—AT. E. Farmer,

mem i acquire the* and writing. * -Young people should; habit of correct speaking and' writing, and abandon as early as possible any use of slang words and phrases. The longer yon put this; off the more difficult the acquirement of correct language will be; and if the golden age of youth, the proper season, for the acquisition of language, be passed in its use, the unfortunate victim will most probably be doomed to talk slang for life. You have merely to use the language which you read instead of the slang which Von hear to form a taste in agreement with the best speakers and poets in the country.—Good Cheer. —The musical composition known as an oratorio gets its name from St Philip Neri. He, a. devout priest in the full tide of the renaissance period, with-the aim of attracting young people and keeping tnem out of mischief, more especially on Sunday, gave at his oratory performances of original sacred music, to which he gave the name of oratorio^. Many of these early oratorios still exist. * All for 50 Cents. Mr. E. C.
