His article is entitled “ The Language
of Brutes,” and he certainly does pre
sent many proof? to show that there ia
such a language, and that it serves to
enable the lower animals to confabulate
to their entire satisfaction. Here are
some of his curious facts: -
Among several species of animals
there are occasional assemblies which
in their proceedings are suggestive of
courts of justice; and therefore this
name been given to them. These
courts supply some very curious illus
trations of our present subject The
most regular and notable of these as
semblies take place among a species of
crow termed the corviis comix. Tt S
said that deputations come from dis
tant quarters, and that, until the con
vocation is complete, no business is
transacted, the first comers waiting the
arrival of the others even for a day or
two. A particular field or hill befit
ting the importance of the occasion is
selected; and when all the deputies
have made their appearance the court
opens. There appear to be criminals
at the bar; but what laws of their com
munity have been broken, or what
crimes committeed, it Would be diffi
cult to determine. The charges ap
pear to be made, and the evidence giv
en, not individually, but collectively,
in a general croaking and clamor.—
The witnesses seern to be at the same
time judges, lawyers, jurors, and sher
iffs -, for no sooner is the clamor against
the prisoners over than the whole
court fall upon the prisoners at the bar
and beat them to death. This accom
plished, the court adjourns, and they
all disperse quietiy to. thei^ homes.
The sparrows also have courts which
they conduct in a similar manner, and
in which it is conjectured that some
sent*; e punished Jbr delinquency.
Margrave gives a singular account
of the assemblies of the Onarine mon
keys which he had frequently witness
ed. They assemble in the woods and
one of them takes the highest place in a
tree, makes a signal with his hand for
the rest to sit round. As soon as he
sees'.theiu placed, he begins his dis
course in a loud and precipitate voice,
and the rest observe a profound silence.
When he has finished his speech* he
makes a sign with his hand for the rest
something of their meaning when they
g addre&s us with their voices; and so
also some of thp higher anitpals quite
readily understand what we say to
them when we speak of matters which
they feel particularly interested in. Tt
|s “not worth.,while for us to talk of
political questuSs to our dog, or. to
ly anything to him of a ti
tal nature; for, although he is a
clever fellow, he would pay very Tittle
attention to what we might say, and,
in fact, would not understand a word
qTifc al all But we speak to him
about Us dinner, or about going to the
. -Mr\. us to hunt squirrels, and
1>« -verjl emphatically signifies [fcMns
that he understands quite well what we
are saying. He has a practical turn
of mind, and will have nothing to do
with any of the sciences; and of all
the arts he cares only for that of living
well, and enjoying himself. In regard
to this he is always ready to hear any
thing to his advantage.
Some dogs show a remarkable sensi
tiveness about being made the subject
of conversation; and in illustration of
this we have an anecdote which Sir
Walter Scott told of his dog Camp,
who was a very wise dog, and had a
wonderful faculty for comprehending
what was said about himself. He had
been taught to understand a great
many words, insomuch that his master
felt very positive, from the progress his
dog had made in language that the
communication between the canine
species and ourselves might greatly be
enlarged. Camp was very indiscreet
one day, however, and hit the baker
who was bringing bread to the family.
“ I beat him,” said Sir Walter, “ and
explained the enormity of his offence;
after which, to the last moment of his
life, he never heard the least allusion
to the story, in whatever voice or tone
it was mentioned, without getting up
and retiring into the darkest comer of
the room, with great appearance of
distress. Then if you said, ‘The ba
ker was well paid,’ or ‘The baker was
not hurt after all,’ Camp came forth
from his hiding-place, capered and
barked and rejoiced.” . How far the
extreme senskiveneea Camp had ia^ re
gard |o this offence of his was due to
through New Jersey, in. the darkest
hour of our national adversity, he was
pursued by n’ smatt' partySif'British
cavalry, the leader of which, was a good
horseman, and pouutodu wall as Pu
laski. Pulaski rode in the rear of his
detachment, and the British captain
rode in front of those he commanded.
The morning sun pas shining bright
ly, casting oblique shadows, and the
pursued party entered a loug, narrow
lane. Pulaski having satisfied himself
of the superior speed and command of
his horse over that of his pursuer,
slackened hb pace and kept hb horse
powerful and fleet charger. During
the retreat of the American army if they are not invited in a siek. room,
**——*' 1ff “” T —— ‘ u ~ A ~~'—* and'Vdirectirisuli if‘told, that ti^ey
must uot gp. Some parsons go .into a
sick room, and sit hour after hour with
eyes fixed upon the sick peNbn, occa
sionally whispering to some equally In
discreet one that may chance to be nigb.
Thb is nfcnolutely intolerable. Others
will hang about the door and peep at
the sufferer, as they would steal a look
at some show. This, toe, is intolerable.
Another practice when the patient is
very sick, is that of feeling the pulse,
looking at the finger nails, examining
the feet, with sundry other acts, all of
which are accompanied with a very
to the side of the land farthest from wise look, a sigh and a whisper. All
the sun. The pursuing officer came
up, in hot haste, so as to make tire de
cisive cut upOu Pulaski, as soon as.he
could reach him. ^
Pulaski rode as though he heard not
the advance upon him, yet he kept hb
eye warily upon the ground on the side
of hb horse towards the sun on the
right
As soon as he saw the shadow of hb
pursuer’s horse gain upon him and that
his horse’s head, by hb shadow, had
gained about half the length of hb
own horse’s body, he gave the sudden
sword cut of St. George with his pow-
ful arm, and saw the decapitated head
of the English officer following the
stroke.
Hb mathematical eye had measured
the distance by the position of the
shadow so accurately, his position of
giving a long back reach to his right
arm while the cross stroke of hb pur
suer must have been made at much
shorter dbtance to have taken effect,

that the pursuing officer lost hb head
this explaniatflifiTiETiasrreceltTed of its T>eforehe suspected thatIns proximity
enormity, it b impossible to say;
though it may be safe enough to con
jecture that the mention of the baker
produced an unpleasant sensation in
the nerves of his skin, rather than any
pricking of hb conscience.
But every dog has his day, and
Camp grew aged and infirm. “ When
he was unable, toward the end of hb
life, to attend me when on horseback,’
said hb illustrious master, “ he used
to watch for my return, and the ser
vant would tell him hb master was
coming down the hill, or through the
moor; and, though he did not use any
gesture to explain hb meaning, (’amp
was never known to mistake him, but
either went out at the front to go up
the hill, or at the back to go down the
moor-side. He certainly had a singu
lar knowledge of spoken language.”
It is quite likely that the dog catches
the meaning of what b said to him
somewhat from the expression of the
speaker's face or from the tone in
which the words are spoken. When
we speak to our dog we often see him
watch our countenance with the ut
most earnestness, apparently for the
purpose of discovering our meaning;
and, without speaking to him at all,
we see that he comprehends very often
the meaning of the very slightest and
thb, too, is intolerable.
A sad mistake common in a dying
chamber, is to suppose that the dyiiig
person has lost perception and sensibil
ity, because uuable to speak. So far
from thb being the case, it b believed
that the perceptions are more keen and
delicate than when in health. Always
let it be remembered, in a dying room,
that the departing friend may hear all,
when the persons present will little sus
pect it. How important that every
thing in a dying room should be made
what it ought to be, for the salvation
and quiet of one who b being broken
away from all dear on earth, and ap
proaching all that is serious in eternity.
The sacreduess and stillness of the
scene should be dbturbed with great
care and caution.
One word more in regard to a sick
room. A very great mistake is made
in the length of prayers, and loud and
excited speaking in prayer in the sick
room. Thb is an error too common,
and often the occasion of great suffer
ing lo the sick and dying.—^yonaed
Church Messenger.
A positive method by which real
death may be distinguished readily from
that which b apparent only, has been
for a long time a desideratum, and
prizes of considerable value have at
various times been offered for the an
nouncement of some unerring test to
determine the two. Among others
proposed for thb purpose b the appli
cation of a few drops of a solution of
belladonna to the eye. If life be pres
ent, in a few moments a dilatation of
the pupil will be observed, very easily
noted in comparison with the other eye,
which has not been so treated. This
is so independent of the condition of
the eye, that it is even observable in
case of complete amaurosis or of pa
ralyse, and b appreciable when all the
ciliary nerves have been cut; and it
may even be noted upon an eye that
has been removed from the orbit as
long as muscular contractility remains.
Whenever, therefore, its application
produces no effect whatever upon the
eye, we may assume that muscular con
tractility has ceased, and consequently,
that life has entirety passed from the
body. A precaution is, however, ne
cessary in cases where dilatation has
most simple modifications of the ex-,2^ place tQ ^ fall

The following curious catalogue of
Dickens’ works is worth preservation:
“ Oliver Twist,” who had some very
“ Hard Times” in the “Battle of Life,”
and having been saved from “ The
Wreck of the Golden Mary” by “ Our
Mutual Friend,” “NicholasNickleby, 1
had just finbhed reading “ A Tale of
the Two Cities” to “Martin Chuzzle-
wit,” during which time “ The Cricket
on the Hearth” had been chirping right
merrily; while “TheChimes” from the
adjacent church were heard, when
“ Seven Poor Travellers” commenced
singing a “ Christmas Carol.“ Bar-
naby Rudge” then arrived from “ The
Old Curiosity Shop" with some “ Pic
tures from Italy” and “ Sketches by
Boz” to show “ Little Dorrit,” who was
busy with the “Pickwick Papers,”
when “ David Copperfield,” who had
been taking “American Notes,” en
tered and informed the company that
the “ Great Expectations" of “ Dom-
bey & Son” regarding “ Mrs. Lirriper’s
Legacy” had not been realized, and
that he had seen “ Boots at the Holly
Tree Inn” taking “ Sontbody’s Lug
gage” to “ Mrs. Lirriper’s Lodgings’
in a street that has •“ No Thorough
fare” opposite “ Bleak House,” where
“ The Haunted man,” who had just
given one of “ Dr. Marigold's Prescrip
tions” to an “ Uncommercial Travel
ler,” was brooding over “ The Mystery
of Edwin Drood."

Decaying Teeth a Modern Disease
Dr. Bcddoe alleged at the recent
session of'the British Aasocmtiqp, that
there wus a great increase exhibited in
modern times in the degenenugr of the
human tooth. Professor Toner eofr .
roborated thb allegation, stating.that a
Targe number, of undent British crania
rinilli hid bton^xfamuMd hr him.

and it wax most interesting td compare
the teeth in the skulls of modems.—
He hardly ever found decayed teeth in
one of those ancient omniums; where
as, he scarcely ever found the skull of
an adult modern in which some of the
teeth were not decayed, while a consid
erable number lost their teeth altogeth
er, and that whatever advantages dvil-
ization might bring, it did not improve
the condition of the teeth. Now what
can be the real cause of thb ? Is it
that the race b absolutely decaying, or
do our habits contribute in some pe
culiar way to injure the teeth ? Has
smoking or tea or coffee-drinking had
anything to do with the decay of. the
teeth? Will some dentist famish our
columns with an article on the subject!
Two thousand years before the Chris
tian era, according to Herodotus, the
Egyptians practiced dentistry. Gold
wus used as a filling for decayed teeth
by Casselius, - during the reign of the
Roman triumvirs; and 500 years B.
C. gold wire was wait! to have been used
to hold artificial teeth in \x»sitinn. An
old maid mentioned hy Lucian had hut
four teeth, which were fastened in the
mouth with gold.
