Influence of Music cn Animals.
Perhaps the most common exhi
bition of the influence of music on
animals is that witnessed in circus
es and oilier equestrian entertain
ments, where the horse is effected in
a lively and exhiliraliug manner hy
the performance of the hand—often
waltzing and prancing, and keeping
perfect time with the music.
Dogs are effected hy music ; hut
it is difficult to determine whether
agreeably or otheiwise. Many nat
uralists believe it to he disagreeable
to them, an opinion which is strong
ly supported hy the fact that, if left
to their liberty, they generally take
flight with howls as soon as the mu
sic reaches their cars. They have
been known to die when compelled
to hear music for a considerable time.
Other quadrupeds, and also owls,
have been known to die from the
effect of music.
Cals ure said to mew loudly on
hearing the sound of instruments,
but are more seldom and less pain
fully effected than dogs. On the
other hand it is well known that
many kinds of birds are effected in
a very agreeable manner ; often ap
proaching as near as possible the
instruments, or peisons, and remain
ing as long as the music continues,
add then Happing their wings, as we
we should clap our hands, in appro
bation of the performance.
Many ol tiie wild animals are said
to be fond ol and even charmed by
music ; the hunters of the Tyrol and
some parts of Germany often entice
stags by singing, and the female
deer by playing the (lute. Beavers
and rats have been taught to dance
the rope, keeping time to music.
Among reptiles, the lizzard shows
perhaps, the most susceptibility to
musical influences; lying first on
his back, and then on his side, and
anon on his belly, as if desiring to
expose every part of his body to the
sonorous fluid which is so delightful
to him. He appears to be very re
fined in his taste ; soft voices and
plaintive airs being his favorites,
while hoarse singing arid noisy mu
sic disgust him.
Among the insects, spiders are
found to be very fond of music; as
soon as the sounds reach them, they
descend along their web to the point
nearest to that from which the mu
sic originates, and there remains mo
tionless as long as il continues.
Prisoners sometimes tame them by
singing or whistling, and make com
panions of them.
Cut perhaps the most remarkable
influence of music on animals oc
curred at a menagerie in Paris, a
few years ago, when a concert was
given, and two elephants were a
mong the auditors. The orchestra
being out of sight, they could not
perceive whence the harmony came.
The first sensation was thaL of sur
prise ; at one moment they gazed
eagerly at the spectators; the next
they ran at their keeper to caress
him, and seemed to inquire what
the strange sounds meant; but, at
length, perceiving that nothing was
amiss they gave themselves up to
the impressions which the music
communicated. Each new tune
seemed to produce a change of feel
ing, causing their gestures and cries
to assume an expression in accord
ance with it. But it was still more
remarkable that after a piece had
produced an agreeable effect upon
them, if it \va3 incorrectly played,
they remained perfectly cold and
unm o ved. — Exchange.
The light of a Cheerful Face.
There is no greater every day
virtue than cheerfulness. This qual
ity in man among men is like sun
shine to the day, or gentle, renewing
moisture to parched herbs. The
light of a cheerful face diffuses it
self, and communicates the happy
spirit tliat-inspires it. The sourest
temper must sweeten in the.* atmos
phere of continuous good humor.
As well might fog, and cloud, and
vapor hope to cling to the sun-illu
mined landscape, as the blues and
moroseness to combat jovial speech
and exhilarating laughter. Be cheer
ful always. There is no path but
what will be lighter, no shadow on
heart or brain but will lift sooner in
presence of a determined cheerful
ness.
Would you have an attractive
face, watch carefully that your
thoughts and feelings give a noble
expression. For the greatest beau
ty of the human countenance is in
its expression of the character with
in. Pretty faces soon lose their
charm3 if they are the index of
coarse natures, and doll faces which
have little or no expression can be
called beautiful. Irregular features
and bad complexions lighted up by
intellectual eyes which vary with
the change and intensity of thought
—make far handsomer women.
The Great Want of the Aoe.
The great want of this age is men, —
men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest—sound from centre to
circumference—true to the heart’s
core. Men who will condemn in
friend or foe, in themselves as well
as others. Men who a c consciences
are as steady as the needle to the
pole. Men who will stand for the
right if the heavens totter and the
earth reels. Men who can tell the
truth and look the world and the
devil right in the eye. Men that
neither flag nor flinch. Men who
can have courage without shouting
to it. Men in whom the courage ol
everlasting life runs deep and strong.
Men ton large for sectarian bonds.
Men who do not cry and cause their
voices to be heard on the streets, but
who will not firil nor be discouraged
till judgment he set in the earth.
Men who know their messages anil
tell it. Men who know their places
and fill them. Men who mind their
own business. Men who will not
lie. Men who are not too lazy to
work, nor 100 proud to be poor. Men
who are willing to eat what they
have earned, and wear what they
have paid for.— Louisville Commerc'l.
Old Women.—l think old wo
men—l don’t like the word “lady,”
because it does not mean anything
iinw-a-days—are the most beautiful
and lovable tilings in the world.
They are so near Heaven that they
catch the glow and brightness which
radiaie from the pearly gate and il
luminate their faces. When the
hair begins to silver, and the embers
in tli3 fire grow cold, and the sun
has got so tar around in life’s hoii
zon that the present makes no shad
ow, while the past stretches down
the hillside to a little mound of
earth where we will rest fora season
—a little mound not big enough to
hold our corner lots, and marble
fronts, and safes which we shall
have to leave on the other side of the
hill, but big enough, 1 trust, to hold
our memories and fancies, our air
castles and secrets ; and when the
journey is nearly done, and the night
is setting in, and the darkness be
gins to gather around us without any
stars, and the birds sing low in the
trees, and the flowers wither and
die, and the music we hear comes
Irom afar, strangely sweet, like
sounds coming over the water, and
like 1 i'lie children, we live within
ourselves, and the world gradually
recedes from us— then I should like
to be an old woman, full ol blessed
memories ami peaceful anticipations.
“Sometime.”—lt is the sweet,
sweet song, warbled to and fio
among the topmost boughs of the
heart, ami filling the whole air with
such joy and gladness as the song
ol birds do when the summer morn
ing comes out of darkness, and day
is born on the mountains. We have
all our possessions in the future
which we call “sometime.”
Beautilul flowers and singing
birds are there, only our hands sel
dom grasp the one, or our ears hear
the other. But oh, reader, be of good
cheer, for all the good there is a gol
den “sometime ;” when the hills
and valieys are all passed ; when the
wear and fever, the disappointment
and sorrows of life are over, then
there is a place and the rest of God.
Oh, homestead, over whose roof
falls no shadows or even clouds; and
over whose threshold the voice of
sorrow is never heard; built upon
eternal hills, and standing with thy
spires and pinnacles of celestial
beauty on high, those who love Gi and,
shall test under thy shadows, where
there is no more sorrrovv nor pain,
nor the sound of weeping—“some
time.”—Prentice.
An Old Man's Opinion. —An old
man, who heard one of those foolish
remarks that are so often made hy
the unthinking, and those who are
ignorant of nature’s laws, ‘drink to
make me work,’ replied, j‘That’s
true, drink, and it will make you
work! I was once a prosperous
farmer. I had a loving wife and
two fine lads as ever the sun shone
on. We had a comfortable home,
and lived happily together. But we
used to drink lo make us work.
Those two lads I have now laid in a
drunkard’s grave, my wife died
broken-hearted, and now lies beside
her two sons. lam seventy years
of age. Had it not been for drink,
t might have been an independent
gentleman ; but I used to drink to
make tne work and, mark it, it makes
me work now. At seventy years of
age 1 am Obliged to work for my
daily bread. Drink! drink! audit
will make you work.’
God has written on the flower
that sweetens the air—on the breeze
that rocks the flower upon the stem
—upon the rain-drop that refreshes
the sprig of moss that lifts its head
in the desert —upon its deep cham
bers —upon every pencilled shell that
sleeps in the cavern of the deep, no
less than the mighty sun that warms
and cheers millions of creatures
which live in it—upon all his works
he has written “None liveth for him

THE CI ANTON HOMICIDE

Advertiser of the 7th instant :
COL. UODCBON’S CARD.
Col. llodgson having become satisfied
that the charges implied by a portion of
his remarks at the late Clanton testi
uionial meeting did injustice to Co'.
Tomlinson Fort of Chattanooga, prompt
ly withdraws them through a card pub
lished this morning It is but justice
to Col. Hodgson to say that at the time
he p.eferred the charge in question lie
did no bing more than give expression
to a thought that filled almost every
mind aud heart in this city. That idea
was not of course formed on the taels
as they were first reported and under
stood. Since then, the evidence before
the Coroner’s inquest and the high tes
timonials put forward in his behalf by
the friends of Col. Fort, have almost
wholly exonerated him of all intentional
wrong in connection with that dreadful
affair.
CARD.
To lhe Editors rj (he Advertiser.
Gentlemen : In my remarks at
the Theatre, on the occasion of the
meeting in honor of tire memory of dear
friend, General James H. Clanton, I
alluded to the cirt umstauces of his death
and expressed my belief that there was
a conspiracy to accomplish his death.
One of the circumstances which led me,
with the people generally of this city,
to entertain this opinion, was the fact
that Col. Tomlin on Fort, of Chatta
nooga, who introduced Nelson to Gen
eral Clanton, was the attorney of Stan
ton. That circumstance was alluded to
by me in my remarks, I have since
been iuformed, through friends in whom
I have the highest confidence, and who
were friends of General Clanton, that
Col. Fort is a gentleman of great puri
ty of character aud of high soc : al posi
tion, aud is not capable of committing
such a crime. I, therefore, unhesita
tingly withdraw that portion of my re
marks implicating him in a conspiracy
and acquit him of the charge implied
therein, and would request those papers
which copied the report of that speech
to also republish this card.
I am, very respectfully, &c.,
JOSEPH HODGSON.
I am satisfied with the card of Col.
Joseph Hodgson. I can appreciate that
in the excitement incident to the occa
sion. with the limited information then
before the public at Montgomery, an
unintentional wrong may have been done
me. I ask of the public and the press
to realize my situation as witness for
the State in the case of the State vs Col.
D. M. Nelson, charged with the murder
of Gen. J, H. Clanton, aud to forbear
comment, until the facts are elicited be
fore the court at which Col. Nelson is
to appear for trial.
In my judgment, it would be improp
er, at this time, for me to giveau expla
nation of the circumstances attending
the death of a man who I was proud to
call my friend.
I desire to acknowledge alasting debt
of gratitude to the gentlemen of the
Bar of the 4th Circuit of this State,
also to several of the newspapers of this
State, and of my native State, (Georgia),
who so kindly volunteered to shield me
from an unjust charge of having been
an accessory before the fact to a homi
cide.
I request those of the press who have
oopied the speech of Col. Joseph Hodg
son, to copy this card.

Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 9th 1871.
“Boasted Alive.”
Awful account of the Fire in Michigan
and Wisconsin—Twelve Bundled peo
ple Burned to Death■ —Misery of the
Survivors.
Chicago. Oct 15.—The latest reports
from the terrible fires in Northern Wis
consin and Michigan represent the loss
of life as being fearful. Some seven to
eight hundred dead bodies had already
been recovered, and it is believed the
number will reach fully one thousand,
and the wounded two hundred. This
comprises at least three-quarters of the
population.
Milwaitkbb, Oct 15.—Later aoconnts
from Northern Wisconsin oonfirmall pre
vious reports and rumors. The loss of
life in the neighborhood of the burned
village of Peshtigo will reach over 1200,
for 15 per cent, of those injured cannot
recover.
The fire tornado was heard at a dis
tance like the roaring of the sea. Balls
of fire were soon observed to fall like
meteors in different parts of the town,
igniting wherever they tonebed. Peo
ple rushed with their children in their
arms for a place of safety, but the storm
of fire was upon them, and enveloped
them in flames, smoke, burning sand and
cinders, and those that were unable to
reach the river were suffocated and
roasted alive. (
This terrible scene happened on Sun
day night, the Bth of October, already
made famous by tbe Chicago horror. A
member of tbe relief committee sent
from Milwaukee with supplies says the
only survivors were those who were for
tunate enough to reach the water, many
throwing themselves into a mill-pond
and clinging to floating logs. A num
ber of these were drowned by be-
No. 26.
i.ig thrown from the logs by maddened
horses and cattle that rushed into the
water. Ihe fiery cyclone 6wept over a
tract of country eight or ten miles wide.
Every building, fence, and all the tim
her were licked up clean by the tongue
of fire. Ihe town of l’cshtigo numbered
two thousand, one third of whom perish
ed on that fearful night.
Reports from the cast shore of Green
Bay place the loss of life fully as high
as at Peshtigo. The same account states
that the immediate wants of the people
are supplied, but large amounts of pro*
visions and clothing will be required for
the coming winter. Mayor Ludington,
of Milwaukee, publishes the following:
“The calamities that have befallen
our State and some of our neighboring
States arc truly appaling. Over 1,500
men, women and children have been
burned to death in Wisconsin alone;
their business, houses and farms, to a
large extent entirely destroyed, the very
soil having been burned, and all their
Autnrnn and root-crops destroyed. They
are utterly destitute, and will require
full support, at least until another sea
son. Seven counties in our own State
aro thus, in great part, utterly desolate.
Whole regions of country in Western
Michigan are in the same condition,and
these tires aro still raging and destroy
ing.”
from Washington.
Walking ton, Oct. 18.—The President,
by proclamation, suspends the habeas
corpus in the following South Carolina
districts: Spartanburg, York, Marion,
Chester, Laurens, Newberry, Fairfield
Lancaster and Chesterfield. The sus
pension extends to all arrests by the
United States Marshal, his deputies,
and I'ederal officers, soldiers or citizens
aciiug under the orders of said marshal,
his deputies or a military officer.
Assurances are made that there are
no injurious complications in General
Bulloch’s accounts. The announcement
that there was a run on the Freedmen’s
Bank is incorrect.
The Secretary of War directs com
manding officers to give such aid to the
Wisconsin sufferers as they deem ad
visable.
The Attorney General has a dispatch
from North Mississippi stating that five
Ku-Klux, with their disguises complete,
have been captured.
Three-quarters of a million in reve
nue stamps have been found safe in the
(lovernment vault at Chicago.
The Augusta powder mills and land,
embracing in all 131 acres, were sold on
Thursday, 19th, as announced, and pur
chased by the city of Augusta for $lO,-
300.
The Brown House, iu Macon, has re*
cently undergone great improvements,
having been repainted, reoarpeted and
