Tbe intellectoal superiority of
civilized man over his ssvige
brethren is due to the greater
multiplicity ef his objects of
thought, and precisely so is it with
the intellectual superiority of tbe
savage man ever his Simian an
ceslors. The action* of ail have
the same aim, viz : the supplying
of the wants of phynicnl nature
and the gratifying of the desires
aronted in the mind. Thn old
theory that speech was altogether
limited lo tbe kaman race has
now to be given np once nd for
all, for sacb a statement cannot
stand against tbe scientific eTi
dence brought forward t* oppose
it from nil quarters.
Language is but a product of
i-eflection and experience, and orig
isatad, in nil probability, ia inter
jectioa or tbe inntinctive expree
nionn derived fr*m external an
tare; and jnnt an tba reflective
powers ef the race were develop
ed and shown brilliantly na each
stage in the evolutionary march
of iotellcct was passed, so did
language pace from tbe simple
monosyllabic cries nf the lower
animal* nod savage men to tbe
complex dislectn nf modern civili
zation; and it in worthy of note
that at tha prannnt day. or at least
very recently, them warn races of
snvsgs men inhabiting the earth
who possessed no proper language
at all. and could not, on account
of tbeir manner of living, be placed
on a higher intellectual level than
the higher apes; while we have
the authority of tbe leading philo
logists nf the day in support of
tho fact that tbe monosyllabic
cries of some nf tbe lower huinsu
tribes are well within tbe grasp of
tbe npe’e voice.
Traveler* whose veracity and
ability cannot be impugned have
described long conferences held by
monkeys, wkere one individual
addressed tbe assembly at great
length, fixiag.the attention of all
upsn bimself and quelling every
disturbance by a loud and harsh
cry, wbicb was at nnce recognized
and obeyed bv the multitude; and
we need no traveler to point to u*
tbe many, notes of call and recog
nition possessed by birds of all
kinds, who thoroughly well un
derstand each other's expression*,
and, moreover, are able to produce
quite a string of different notes
consecutively, and without any
hesitation. In fact, ths nrgan of
voice- in some of the lower eaimals
far exceeds in power that of some
tribes of tbe human family.

be sure beqnitled the diplomatic
service in 1849, sa the present
generation may be excused for not
remembering that before digging

was also a diplomatist, and at the
beginning of tb* century visited
America for lb* purpose of aego
listing a commercial treaty be
tween Fran.-e sad our country.
To sec Ibis distinguished look

boulevard, or gallopiug along on
horseback, accompanied by seven
or eight of hti children, no one
would ever suppose tbat he was in
his 83d year, and that he bad bad
eleven children by his second
wife, whom he married oa tbe day
the 8uA caps! was inaugurated.
A few weeks ago some of ihenum
erous enemies of tba Panama
scheme started the report of M.
de Lessepa' death. T* a friend
who called at the house to learn
the truth of this rumor the eele
brated Frenchman replied: “Some
good souls have said that I was
dead; yoa nee I am still alive.
Others have pretended tbat my
leg ia broken. If those who start
ed tbia story will cams and see
me 1 will prove ta them by a well-
known movement tkat my leg is
in very good condition.”

flew a Hat is Made.
Toon* man, when yoa put on
ynnr derby hat to go to church, or
perhaps to go to a picnic, does it
ever occur to yoo that a poor lit
tle bunny has died and been dyed
that your bat might live? I don’t
believe it does. I doubt if you
ever knew that your hat was made
nf hare’s fur. I did not know it
until tbe other day.
Of coarse, if you sre a progres
sive snrt of a vouag American,
vou believe ia evolution of some
kind; but btre is a chapter wbicb
I think will give you new food for
thought.
First ia the hare—poor little
fellow—he i* just on the point of
eating his dinner, it may be; but
does he get it?
Suppose you were asked wbelh
er yoa would be made into a bat
before dinner or after, which would
yoa choose? But he does not
know ia his sweet innocence. Well,
let bimeat bis dinner snd enjoy it.
Then he it killed. Just bow.
does not matter. We won’t inves
tigate the slaughterous part of it;
enough that he is killed, and bis
skin cut np into strips about one
eighth of an inch wide. These
strips go through a process some
thihg similar t* being drawn
through a knot-hole. This takes
tbe fur off. Then comes a queer
kind of a machine, by wbicb a
strong current of air is made to
blow against a wet revolving cop
per cone lo which it slicks, mat
ting together, as is tbe nature of
tbe fur to do, until it assumes a
shape over the cone, like a short,
stumpy, very old_ fashioned um
brells, without any stick; then by
plangiag into very hot water and
working with the hands as a potter
works bis clay, this shape is thick
ened and shrunk until it gets to a
consistency in wbicb it is held to
gether, and might look on a man’s
head something like a respectable
cabbage leaf. I believe bunny ia
fond of cabbage. You know the
old saying, “A man is wbat be
eats.” aad this seems to be a casr
in wbicb bunny almost becomes a
cabbage leaf himself.
Then tbe shape is dyed and
pressed, and smoothed, and flat
leaed, and curled up, and banded,
and bound, sad before yoa know
it, yoa are wearing bnaay on your
head, wbat ia laft of him. Don’t
forget him now, for tb* good tarn
be has done yaa, will yon? Aad
don’t desecrate poor bunny’s pe
reanial shade by wearing aader
aealb that darky any unseemly,
object. Remember there may be
a good deal in a hat. Let yoars

A tall sld man, with a rather
vacant look and a hesitating air,
ventured slowly into tbe dining
ball of a large nptown hotel tho
other evening in New Tork. It
was the usual dinner hour, and
the long room was filled with
guests. The old man panted,
scrutinized bis cuff and bis waist
coat, and after making wbataeam-
td to be a belpleaa effort to see
the back of bis neck, be beckoned
lo the bead waiter. Tbat func
tionary hastened ap, and tbe aid
man said:
"Waiter, do 1 look right, tidy,
you knon?”
Tbe waiter inspected tbe vener
able guest critically fur a moment,
and Iben assured him tbat all was
in order.
“Necktia all right?”
“Yea, sir.”
“Collar button show?”
“Not at all, air.”
“No spots oa my coal?"
“Not a spot.”
“The general effect is pretty
slick is it?”
“Very, air.’’
“Well, you'aee, waiter.” said
the old man, confidentially, “I
came down lo brcakfael one day
last week without any collar, and
my son James was very angry; so
yesterday when I came into loach
with my necktia undar my left
ear, he said if anything like tbat
happened again he would havo
mv meals served up stairs. Do
you know my son James, waiter?”
“Tea. sir.”
“la be here at dinner now?”
“No, sir, be finished about ton
minutes ago.”
“Ar* you sure?”
“Perfectly, sir.”
“Well, then, waiter,” said lh«
old man, in relieved tones, “if yoa
are certain ofit, yon tell the man
at your table to bustle ia some
corn beef and cabbage, anti not la
play any of bit French business
on me, or I’ll break bis neck.”—
