Entitled to Credit fur More Sense Than Ills Half-Brother, the Horse. •‘Horae sense” has become a byword for a certain practical sort of intelli gence, but according to Prof. N. 8. Shuler, ' mule sense” would be a more appxopriate one. He says that a ruule, as is well known to all people familiar with the animal, has a good deal more sen^e than a horse. He says that the mule is much the less demonstrative. ~ Even in the best humor he appears sullen, and lacks those playful capers which give such expression to the well-bred horse, par ticularly in its youthful state. It is evident, however, that it discriminates men and things more clearly than does the horse. In going over difficult ground it stud ies its surface and picks its way so as to secure a footing in an almost infalli ble manner. Even when loaded with a pack it will consider the incumbrance, and not so often try to pass where the burden will become entangled with fixed objects. Fuulablag a Slanderer. A Puritan prtbeher named Boyd was I in the habit of inveighing against Crom I well.
