Domestics to be Recruited from the Monkey Tribe. |AN INTERESTING PROBLEM DISCUSSED BY A FRENCH NATURALIST—-NOT A NEW IDEA SOME VERY INTERESTING CASES -—THE NEXT QUESTION. | Can monkeys be domesticated and made as useful to man as the horse, the ox and | the ass are useful, but in a different way ?| Such is the interesting problem discussed in a book just issued here by M. Victor Meunier, who has made a study of these curious specimens of the animal kingdom. And this problem, according te the author, will in time receive a successful sq)ution. Mankind will in the future draw from the ranks of the Simian tribes servants skillful enough to perform tasks now only dis- charged by reasoning—I had almost said ‘* reasonable ”—beings—tasks that require ,only strength of muscle, skill of hand and Oa intelligence. | Bat M. Meunier draws a very distinct line between the higher and lower orders of the monkey race. Among the latter he places the Barbary ape, the puuched, the striated ard other varitiecs; among the former the chimpaazee, the gorilla, the |orang-outang and the “gibbon,” or long ‘armed species. And it is only from among ithe last named that the servants of the [fone will be recruited. ; NOT A BAD IDEA. Nor is the idea of Simian domestics a inew one. Buffon, in the last century, ‘staked his great reputation as a naturalist lon the following statement: *“*T have seen a chimpanzee that always walked on two legs, even when carrying heavy bardens. A word or sign was sufficient to jmake him obey, and his temper was equable land gentle. I have seen him offer his hand | to lead out those who had been calling on his master and walk with them like a companion. I have seen him take his seat at table, unfold |his napkin, wipe his lips, use a spoon and \fork, pour out a glass of wine and pledge a health when invited. I have seen him take a ‘cup and saucer, place it on the table, pour out tea, put sugar in it, let it get coot hefore drinking, and ail without other instigation than the signs or words of his master. ** He never injured any one, but always ap- eee you carefully, and as if wishing to | be petted. He was prodigiously fond of can- , dies, everybody fea him with them, and as he | had a cough and his lungs were affected, it is supposed that the induigence of this appetite shortened his life. He only lived one summer . Paris and died the following winter in Lon- on.” Another learned savant, Camille Flam- marion, points out that all the chimpanzees! that have been brought to Europe have been similarily docile. One that had been brought to the zovlogical garden in Ant- |Werp was taken into the family of the ‘superintendent. He showed affection tor his master’s children, shared their games, _went with them into the garden, picked |cherries for them, dragged them about in a llittle carriage and even sometimes dinéd with them, when he would empty a glass jof champaign to the health of the com- pany. A TRAINED FEMALE MONKEY. A female monkey, described by Capt. Grandperret, had been trained while on a voyage to America to heat the oven, and to {perform her duties to the satisfaction of all ‘concerned. She was careful not to let the ! burning coals tumble out on the deck, and was evidently pleased when the proper degree of heat was obtained. She would {then go and infurm the baker. But this was not her only specialty. She could turn (her hand (?) to all and any of the ordinary The Tignish Church, The work of frescoing the interior of this fine church was completed a few days since, and is most beantifully done. The walis ave painted in blocks and strips about eight inches wide, in imitation of stone work, of blue-grey an silver-grey tints, which give a most pleas- ing effect, while brightening up the charch wonderfully, in comparison with its former partial gloom. The colors are evenly and smoothly put on, the shading, blending, and harmonizing being perfect. The figures of the apostles are shown in niches (apparently) be- tween the windows, and those of SS. Simon and Jrde, the titular saints of the church, over the sacristy door, and facing the side aisjes, stand ont in relief, all having the ap- yearance of satuary. The central arches are ton with gold stars, and the side arches have a blue-zgrey ground work, with delicate gold tracery, which is very beautiful indeed. The sides of the central arches also bear handso:w- iy firished emblems representing the prayer of St. Mary. The high altar has been re-gilded, and on either side of the sanctuary are large vil paintings of the Transfiguration and Assump- tion. The sanctuary arches are exquisitely finished in blue-grey with gold tracery. The pillars are finished in keeping with the walis, and have gilded caps. Gold bead work is also noticeable in the finish of the arches. The pulpit is in imitation of light colored woods, and is beautifally gilded, The sacristy wails are done in blue-grey, and the roof, which is arched, is finished in grey opal, wita blue and gilt ornamentation. The altar is drab, with light green panels and gilt finish. The whole work is a most charming com- bination of colors that blend and harmonize in the utinost beauty, a triumph of the paint- er’s art. The object in view, in the selection vf tints, seems to have been to give light and brightness to the interior, while preserving rich warm tone, and in this the artists have ad- mirably succeeded. The contractor in charge, Mr. F. E. D. Meloche, of Montreal, a gentle- man of large experience in his profession, says he has not seen a more perfectly proportioned church in Canada, and this assisted him great- ly in producing soexcellent an effect, Mr. Meloche had twelve skilled artists employed for several weeks at the work, which is a last- ing credit to himself and the people of Tig- nish. The cost of this painting 1s, we learn, $3,100. The roof of the church has been shingled,as the slates with which it was until recently covered, did not give good satisfaction. Ou the evening of the 18th, the painters, as- sisted by one or two local musiciaus, gave a concert in St. Mary’s Hall, consisting of songs, choruses, and a pantomime, which realized $71.80. The collection at Mass the following day amounted to about $30.—Agriculturist. = rr tindirtiniee an The Reporter's Vacation, Editor—‘‘ Think you need change and Test, eh/ Well, shouldn't wonder; city life isa hard one, taking it allthe year round, and I believe it is several years since you had a vacation.

Men who have seen snakes in their boots are generally thuse employments of the sailor, such as weighing anchor, taking in sail and making every- thing taut, and not only this, but what she did was so well done that the Jack Tars came tu regard her as quite one of them- selves. At Loango a chimpanzee was trained to go for water to the mver and wood to the forest, sweep the room, make the beds, turn the spit, etc. Having fallen sick a bleeding sec him on his feet again. Nor did he forget what cured him, for being again attacked a year afterwards, and see- ing the doctor come into the room, he held out his arm that the process might be re- peated. An explorer, M. Poussielque, traveling in Florida, was one day entertained at San Geronimo by Gen. Llorente. The latter several times referred to his servant An- tonia, and striking a bell Antonio appeared. He wus a monkey about four feet in height, dressed in white trousers and a red vest and wearing a cap. At asignal from his master he stuck a napkin under his arm and Jaid the table. ‘** And,” added M. Poussielque, ‘‘he waited on us, doing everything himself, more rapidly than four negro servants would have done it.” An- tonio was 12 years old, having been born in the Gaboon and brought to Florida by the negro who had educated him. The question then recurs, can the monk- ey be domesticated and made subservient to man, as the dug, the horse, the ox has been made subservient. The dog has been trained to hunt and be a faithful guardian of man’s interests ; the ox Ras been taught to drag heavy loads, but the intelligence of the ape far surpasses any of the so-called animals, in that he alone has a hand and can become a workman.—Paris Cor.

This question recalls hig famous complaint that ** the churchyards are fuller than they can hold; people are dying this year who had never died before.” The report. that the promoters of the Hudson’s Bay railway scheme have effected arrangements in England which guarantee the completion of the work in a moderately short time, if fully borne out, is most im- portant. There are many who think, and with good ground for sv doing, that the profitable operation of such a road is out of York Graphic. << Apvick to Motsers.— Mra.
