O nnkoo! hlisll I call thcebJnlr
Or bl a wandering voice ?
"While I am lying on the grass
Thy twofold shout I liear.
From, hill to hill It sems to pass,
At oucc far oil", and near.
Though babbling only to the Tale,
Of sunshine ami flowcrn,
Tliou bringost unto me a tale
Of visionary lioun-.
Tlirice welcome darling of the spring 1
liven yot thou art to me
Ko bird, but an Invisible tiling,
A vole , a my&tery.
The same whom In my school-boy days
J listened to; that cry
"Which made me look a thousand ways.
In bush, in tree, and sky.
Tp .seek thee, did I often rove
Through woods and on tho green;
And thou wert still a hope, a love,
Still longed for, never seen.
And I can listen to thee yet j
Can lie upon the plain
And listen till I do beget
That golden time again.
O blessed bird ! the earth we pace
Again appears to be
An unsubstantial, fairy place;
That ib fit home for thee.

TIZE LISTC OF TZSE BttUTE.
Y.Y P. G. IIAMERTOX.
Animals like tha great'majority of
the human race, observe only what
concerns them and see everything
biinply hi the relation which it bears
to themselves. In Gutave Dore's
"Juif Errant" a donkey is tasting a
n man's beard under the Impression
that it may possibly be a sort of hay.
Dore most probably had witnessed
the incident; I have witnessed itsev
eal times. Why should a man's
beard not consist of hay? There are
physiological reasons, but we cannot
expect a donkey to be aware of them.
We continually forget that brutes
have not the advantages of obtaining
accurate ideas by spoken or written
langauge. We do not realise the im
mensity of their ignorance. That ig
norance, in combination witii perfect
cerebral clearness (ignorance and
mental clearness are quite compati
ble), and with inconceivable strong
instincts, produces a creatuie whose
mental Btates we can never accurate
ly understand. ISTone of us can im
ngine the feelings of a tiger when his
jaws are bathed in blood and ho tears
the quivering flesh. The passion of
the great ilesh-eater is completely un
known to civilized men, as the pass
ion of the post is to the tiger in the
jungle. It is far more than merely a
good appetite, it is an intense emo
tion. A quite faint and pale shadow
of itstiliromainsin men with an ard
ent enthusiasm for the chase, whdTeel a
joy in slaughter, but this to the tiger's
passion is as water to whisky. This
impossibility of knowing the real
sensations of animals and the sensa
tions are the life stands like an inac
cessible and immoveable rock right in
the pathway of our studies. The ef
fort of dramatic power necessary to
imagine the life of another persou is
very Inconsiderable, and few are capa
ble of it, but it is much easier to im
agine the sensation of a fanner than
those of his horse. The main difficul
ty in conceiving the mental states of
animals is, that the moment we think
of them as human we are lost. Nei
ther are they machines pushed by ir
teslstible instincts. A human being
as ignorant as a horse would be an idi
ot, and act with an idiot's lack of
sense and incapacity for sequence.
But the horse is not an idiot, ho has
n mind at once quite clear and sane,
and Is very observant in his own way.
Most domestic animals are as keenty
alive to their own interests as a man of
business. They can make bargains,
and stick to them, and make you stick
to theRi also. I have a little mare
who used to require six men to catch
her in the pasture, but I carried corn
to her for a long time without trying
to catch her, leaving the corn on the
ground. Next 1 induced her to eat
the corn whilst I held it, still leaving
her free. Finally I persuaded her to
follow me, and now she will come
trotting half-a-mile at my whistle,
leaping ditches, fording brooks, in
the darkness and rain, or in impen
etrable fog. She follows me like a
dog to the stable, and I administer
the corn there. But it is a bargain;
she knowingly sells her liberty for
corn. The experiment of reducing
the reward having been tried to test
ber behavior, she ceased to obey the
whistle and resumed her former hab
its; but the full and due quantity
having been restored she yielded her
liberty again without resistance, and
since then she is not to be cheated.
On the other hand, she is very igno
raut of much that a man of equal
Bhrewdness would easily have picked
up by the use of language. In our
estimates of animal character we al
ways commit one or two mistakes,
either we conolude that the beasts
have great knowledge because they
seem so clever, or else wo fancy that
they must be stupid because we have
ascertained that they are ignorant;
so that, on the one hand, we con
stantly see unimata severely punished
for not having known what they
could only have learned through hu
man language, and on the other hand,
we find men very frequently underra
ting the wonderful natural intelli
gence of the brute creation, and treat
ing auituals without the least consid
eration for their feelings, which are
often highly sensitive. Another ob
stacle to a right understanding of the
brute nature is the common habit of
eenlimentalism, which attributes to
some favourite races of animals some
fine qualities, which, if they are to be
discovered at all, can only be detect
ed in most rare instances, and, even
then, are striking rather from their
rarity than their strength. A good
example of what I mean is the pop
ular belief concerning the aflection
oteness of horses. The plain truth
is, that the horse is not an affectionate
nnimal but that man wishes lie were
so, and supplies him with this charm
ing quality from the resourcee of his
own imagination. The horse may be
made famiiar; you may cultivate lii-
intimate acquaintance, as acquaint
ance merclj', but his affections are
not for man, they are for his brute
companions.
It seems to me, that notwithstand
ing the insuperable difficulties which
hinder us from perfect comprehen
sion of the brute nature in any of its
forms we may still by careful o!ser
vation and reflection, aided by kind
ly sympathy and indulgence, arrive
at notions about animal life not alto
gether without interest. Let us al
ways try to bear in mind those great
necessities which are irresistibly fell
by animals as a consequence of their
special organization, and preserve our
selves from the error of approving or
blaming them according to human
standard-;. When a tiger eats a man,
the act is not more blameable than
the act of a mnn who opens and eats
an oyster. We have the most absurd
prejudices on this subject, which
have taken root in infancy and not
been dituibed by maturer reflections
afterwards. Wolves and falcons
seem cruel because their prejT is rath
er large, but the little insect eating
birds are our pets, and cats are mor
ally esteemed for catching mice. A
word may be said in passing about
the morbid love which many people
have for animals, and foolishly encour
ageas a virtue.
Some people love Iheirdogsin a
manner not at all conducive to the
dogs' true happiness and welfare. I
knew a lady and gentleman who lov
ed their dug so much that he had a
chair at the dinner-table, and slept at
night (he was a large retrieve) in
the same bed with his master and mis
tress. I had the honor of sitt.ng op
posite him at dinner, and was much
edified by his well-bred manners.
He ate soberly from a plate like the
rest of us. But it i3 not always kind
ness to pamper animals of any kind ;
th true way to le kind to animals is
to order their living in every way
that they may be'cheerful and heal
thy through their allotted Fjmn of
life, and we ought not to hesitate
about putting them to death when
infirmities make existence a bur
den. So with reference to animals
slaughtered for our use, there can be
no moral hesitations if only the most
merciful death is chosen. It is wrong
to bleed calves to death slowly, as i-
done in England, to have the veal
white; wrong to tear out the eyes of
a rabit while yet living, as is done in
some parts of France, from a notion
that the meat is better for it; it Is
wrong to give geese the liver com
plaint in order to make Strasbourg
pies ; but a true rourmct will hesitate
at no cruelty if it procures him a per
ceptible increase in the delicate de-
lic'irnf tnei.inrr-
. x ,i At -i , .- jdoes have
as i iijni i;ruau iiurnuie question oil 3
vivisection, which men of science do
really practise much more than is
commonly suspected, the discoveries
effected by it have prevented, they nay,
much suffering, but the doubt remains
whether a merciful end can justify
means so frightfully merciless. The
young veterinary surgeons at Mais-ons-Alfort
do actuallylearn to oper
ate by practising on living horses,
which are saved from the canker for
that purpose; and the same science
which inflicts tortures worse than
those of the Inquisition prolongs the
miser of the victims by the mot so
licitous care in the intervals between
one operation and another. Finally,
after from twenty to sixty operations,
the animals die from shere inability
to endure any more torture : and still
the sky is bright over Muisous-Alfort,
and the houses are pretty and fanciful
and the gardens sweetly luxuiiant,
and there are arbours for pleasa'nt
shade where the well-to-do messieurs
and dames bit sipping their coffee and
cognac. A prett' place in the sum

OUR STATE INTERESTS:
Editor Republican :
Dear Sir: I have just returned
from a tour of personal observation
through seventeen counties of the
State supposed to be most damaged
l3' the grasshoppers, and my inform
ation is accurate.
The loss to tiie corn crop is severe
in some parts. But when it is remem
bered that the extent and value of
this crop, compared with the amount
and value of wheat, oats and other
small grain is quite insignificant, it is
plain that the actual suffering of the
people will be much lesS thau we
might otherwise suppose; still we ac
cept the fact that the new settlers had
in many instances nearly all their
broke land, in corn, and consequent
ly they will be the greatest sufferers.
I am in constant correspondence
with the county agents of thi immi
gration bureau which from the nature
of its organization, has better facilities
than uny other in the State, to know
the condition and wants of the new
settlers. These county agents have
been largely concerned in their settle
ment and the new 6ettlers can bo
more quickly reached than through
any other channel.
We have as yet no evidence, either
from our personal observation or
through ourcorrespondence that there
will be anything like a general dis
tress in any part of the State.
Many new spttlers will be closely
pinched, some will need friendly as
sistance ; nfew may be subject of the
charity that never faileth.
Whatever duty may devolve in this
matter on the commissioner of im
migration will be cheerfully and
promptly performed. We are only
waiting to know the particular facts.
To this end I propose soon to make
a tour through the southern and
southwestern pait of the State inclu
ding the Republican Valley.
One thing is certain, the calamity
is not universal in the State. The
wheat crop, though not an average, is
abundant.
In some sections-lhe corn is only
partially hurt, in other sections, none
at all. None need leave the State.
None who had intended to come need
slay away on account of this visita
tion of insects.
There is no reason to apprehend
their return to this part of the world
next year, or at any time in the near
future.
They are altogether uncertain in
tiieir flight and in their descent to the
ground. Besides the parasite, a little
fly depositing under the grasshoppers'
wings an egg that hatches a grub,
which eats into the body and kills it
will probably fore- lose his mortgage
next year on all the millions of these
army locusts.
Every country has its occasional
catastrophe. Chinch bugs and torna-

ABYSSIltlAX SLATES.
The Abyssinian girls are remarka
bly pretty, with large eyes and delicately-shaped
features. These girls
are brought down from the Galla
country by the slave-dealers from Ab
yssinia. That beautiful country which
had we not wantonly deserted it,
might have become of great import
ance, is now a prey to anarchy. The
opposing tribes are only too happy to
sell their female prisoners to the Ar
ab slave-traders. These people bring
dow n the young girls in gangs bj va
rious routes, but the principal outlets
is the Red Sea, about Massowa. A
great market is at Gallabat, the front
ier town of Ab3ssinia. There I have
seen them crowded together in mat
tents, waiting for purchasers from
those commissioned to procure slaves
by the wealthy Arabs and Turkish
officials. At Gallabat a handsome
young girl of sixteen is worth about
13, btit the same girl at Cairo would
fetch 40 or 50. The Abyssinlans
are a much advanced race compared
with the negroes of Central Africa.
The women are very affectionate and
devoted to those showing them kind
ness. Thus, as tiiey comorae beauty
with devotion, they are much sought
for, and command a high price in the
market. They are seldom purchased
by common people, as their price is
too high, and they cannot earn' mon
ey by bodily labor like negresses, be
ing oo delicate and unable to sustain
fatigue. Although they are general
ly termed Abyssinians, I have never
met with a true high-caste Abyssini
an girl these would be Christians ;
whereas all I have seen have been
Gnlhis a Mohammedan race. Many
of these poor girls die from futigue on
the desert journey from Gallabat to
the sea-coast. Those who reach
Khartoum, or the towns of Lower
Egypt, are said to bo wealthy, and
generally hike a high position in the
harems, often becoming the wives of
their purchasers. In the Soudan 1
have met several charming Abyssini
an ladies, who, having married Euro
pean residents, have become perfectly
civilized ; proving the race is capable
of great advancement Traveler.

The San Francisco Commercial
Herald of July 9th publishes the iol
lowing :
Very important information has
reached us from what we deem an au
thentic source, to the effjet that overt
ures have been made by the Mexican
Government to that of the United
States to cede all the territory oftlu
former lying north of the line of lati
tude drawn directly from the mouth
of the Rio Grand to the Pacific Ooean,
and tint the matter will engros the
attention ot Congress at l next sess
ion, N the greatest probability of its ac
ceptance. What are to be the consid
erations for this cession of the terri
tory we are not informed, and it is
likely that the point has not been set
tled. One thing is positive, a num
ber of our heaviest capitalists and
bold operators have vry recpntly
been actively in pursuit of mine ly

A Substitute for Ice It is prob
able that many good housewives do
dot know that butUr may be kept
firm and nice looking, by merely in
verting over it, a flower-pot covered
with damp cloths. In the same way
a water-pitcher enveloped in wet
cloths will keep its contents cool and
grateful to the parched throat this hot
weather.
On a large scale the same plan may
be used in the "fields as wc have be
foie said, but it will bearsaying again.
The contents of a barrel enveloped in
cloths which are kept constantly wet,
will be so pleasant as almost to induce
the laborer in the field to drink more
than is good for him.
The reason why water kept this
way i cool, is that the evaporation of
the outside dampness ciriies off the
heat from the inside just as persfira
ion carries off the heat from the hu
man frame, and renders a live man
cap-Able of withstanding a heat which
would cook a beefsteak.
A little story about a St. Louis
church: A man itidiff-renily dressed

notice him, but seated beveral well
dressed persons who presented them
selves, when finally the man address
ed the usher, saying, "Can you tll
mo whose church thi- is?" "Yes,
this is Christ's Church." "I he in?"
was the next question, lifter which a
seat was not so hard to find.
