In a vary interesting article recently pub lished by the " Popular Science Monthly " on the •• Directive Faculty in Brutes," the foray of a tribe of monkeys on a field of oorn is described. When they get ready to start on their expedition an old monkey, the leader of the trjbe, with a Btafi in his hand, bo as to stand upright more easily, marches ahead on two legs, thus being more elevated than the others, so as to nee signs of danger more readily. The rest follow him on all tours, ' The leader advances slowly and cautiously, 1 carefully reconnoitering in all directions till tho party arrive at ihe oorn field.

HOW-NOT-TO-DO-IT IN VICTORIA

Our Melbourne correspondent writes under date Melbourne, January 7:—lf there Is a round-a-bout w»y to any pluoo you may safely trust a Government to find out all the twist r end turnings of that road, and to force them upon liha public for general me. li a carfcatn num bar of round boles have to be stopped up we all know that any government will oontraot tor the manufacture of an equal number of nqaare bits of wood to pat unto them ; and, nndeterred by the UlsuooQis of thkt job, when they have to deal with square holes tho same people will try the experiment of getting round pegs therein, We have had many examples of this system la Vlctoru, and unless tbe world comes to an end very soon ire shall wltmai' I many more. Take » sample lastauoe out of soores whioh might be olted. The two principal lanoing places In Hobson's Bay, namely, tbe piers at Port Melbourne md WillUmetown, are used by all the great steam liners, nndlarge sailing ships whioh visit this port, and by many coasters as well, and because tbe berthing of ships In a crowded port requires judgment, tnot, and nautical experlenoe the management and control of these two pices, and iche berthing of vessels alongilde of th«m, lias been vested In the Commissioners of Railways. We aball next have the Qov eminent tailor sent to supervise tho roil way work shops at Newport, or the Prime Minister trying bis hind at the rmnuf »o ture of a Christmas padding for ibbe inmates of Pentndge.

The oonsequenoe of placing the manage-* mem of nautical affitra In tbe hand* of landsmen was nearly proving tatal to numbers of psople laat Bunday morning. There has bean rivalry and illfsellng for some time past between the people on board the Ozone aud those on the Ooogee. There is a dispute as to which Is the faateit boat, and whenever an opportunity ocours this 111 feeling is made manlfcat. Both vowels atari from tbe Pott Mel bourne pier, and they get away at line same moment. The Ozone, having to steer a westerly course, has la the wisdom of the authorities been assigned s> bertb on the eastern aide of the pier ; whilst tihe Oogee, hiring to proceed In an easterly direction has been assigned a. berth on nhe western side, so that, as soon as these two rival raoera draw clear of the pier headt and shape their respective courses, they hare to cross the traoks of eseh other. In other word«, the profound nantloal knowledge of the Oommluloners of Rail ways baa pUoad them la the most favor able position for running eaoh other dowa with every soul on board. This danger was narrowly avoided on Sunday mo.n log, wben tbe vessels were omytng nimr 2000 paople between them, aud the same dangbr has bjen prestnt aud imminent lEor m»nj montna past.

JUBILEE DAY.

The fact that matters in connection with the celebration of the Jubilee of the colony are being allowed by the Govern ment to drift along without any attempt to secure uniformity in the date of its ! observance is perfectly incomprehensible. Barely it is worth while (if not already too late) to at "least endeavour to avoid making New Zealand a laughing-stock to the other colonies for its exhibition of petty jealousies in the celebration of two, or perhaps three or more, different dates. At least three different Jubilee Days are already announced, Auckland and Gisborne having declared their intention of jubilating on the 29th inst., Woodville on the 28th, and Wellington on the 21st—notwithstanding, if we remember rightly, that the press of the Empire City has labored to prove that the 22nd is the Anniversary Day, and the one which ought to ba observed. Wellington insists on the 22nd (or the 21st) because the ships which brought the founders of that settlement arrived on that day, or one of those days, and Auckland insists on the 29th as being tfce date of the proclamation, by Governor Hobson, of the assumption by her Majesty of sovareign rights over New Zealand. Auckland points out that if, instead of that event been taken to mark the beginning of New Zealand's existence as a British dependency, we are to go back to the beginning of coloni sation, then the arrival of the Welling ton settlers was not that beginning, and moreover that there were so many and so different beginnings of colonisa tion that it would be impossible to fix upon any one of them, except arbitrarily, as the beginning to be commemorated. Auckland has, we think, the best of the argument, and moreover it now appears that so long ago as 1842, only two years after the proclamation of Governor Hob son, the date of that proclamation was officially recognised as that of the Colony's Anniversary. Mr Williamson, Crown Prosecutor in the northern city, brings this out very clearly. Writing on the subject, he says :—" If the ob servance of Jan. 29 in Auckland is traced to its source it will be found that the date was fixed and imposed upon us by the Government of the Colony, and is not, therefore, in any sense; claimed by the Auckland people or the Auckland district as the anniversary of this particular portion of the Colony. In the "New Zealand Gazette" of 1842, page 16, the following notice appears: —'Saturday, January 29, being the second anniversary of the establishment of the Colony, His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to direct that day to be held a general holiday; on which occasion the public offices will be closed. Bj His Excellency's com mand, (signed)y Willoughby bhortland. Colonial Secretary's office, Auckland, January 27, 1842,' A similar notice appears in the « Gazette " of 1847, and in others of the early •« Gazettes." X further proof is required, it iB to be found in the fact that in the Supreme Court rules of 1844,. January 29, amongst other days, was appointed one of the public holidays of the Court as ' Being the day of the proclamation of - the Queen's sovereignty over these islands.' Year by year, ever since, the people of Auckland have loyally observed January 29 as the day of the • Establishment ot the Colony,' The Wellington people, as well as the people of other places where a Supreme Court office exists, will find that January 29 will be observed in those offices as a close holiday." Further, it appears that the 29th is to receive vice regal recognition, for the Mayor of Auck land has received a telegram from the Hon E. Mitchslson stating that His Excellency the Governor and party have arranged to be present at the Auckland Jubilee celebration. Under these cir cumstances it would be well for the Government to issue a "Gazette" notice appointing the 29th, as the day to be officially recognised as Jubilee Day. If this be done at once, it will be possible for Wellington to make arrangements deferring her celebration for a week, but whether or not she do so, or persist in sticking to her own Jubilee Day, it will at least be secured that all the rest of the Colony will jubilate contemporaneously, and not on such date an may seem best to each individual centre of population.

ADDINGTON LTVE STOCK MARKET.

Ohbi&tohuboh, January 15. The market to-day was very well attended. The sale was brisk till the heavy rain put an end to it. Store Sheep.- There was a large entry, including some heavy lines of crossbred ewes and lambs. The following represents the principal lines sold :—Half bred ewes, mixed ages, to gs; 4-tooth ewes, Ss; 2-tooth, mixed ages, crossbreds, in small lots, 9s, 9s 3d, 9s 4d and 9s 7d; aged ewes and lambs, 3s id to 5s lod j a line of woolly merino I ewes and lambs fetched 7s; woolly wethers, 6s gd; merino wethers, shorn, 4s 7d to 4s 1 lid. Fat Lambs.—The sale of lambs fluctuated a good deal in consequence of the large entry, and there was but a small demand, except for primest quality for freezing. These com manded good prices up to us gd. Really prime lamb up to freezing weight is worth 3#d per lb, net weight. Fat Sheep.—There was a large entry, for ' the most part of a decidedly inferior class. Prime sorts of wether mutton were few. , Where they occurred competition was keen, arid from ad to 2#d was obtained, while in ewe and low quality pens, a decided falling off in values was the result. * ■T,

Fat;Cattle.—There were not many prime cattle, and what were in realised decidedly less than the prices obtained recently. A very good looking mob of thirty-two head from Kaituna, realised from £6 los t» £7 Ss each. The general average, through the t market showed a fall of at least is per hundred on former quotations, while inferior soits fetched considerably less than the prices ruling receatly a Stork Cactxk. —There was a small entry of mixed sorts, which did not include any special lines. The sale did not show any advance, .

HOT TALL ENOUGH

History has recorded that a foreign princess to whom Henry VIII of England oftered his hand in marriage sent back the pointed answer that "if she bad had two heads »he would gladly have placed one .of them at His Majesty's disposal." This allusion to the fate of Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard was a good specimen of the epigrammatic smart ness of that period ; but an equally creditabl* performance has been furnished by our owu age. Just at the time when vague reports were beginning to creep abroad that Germany^ was meditating a fresh extension of her frontier at the expense of Holland, a Dutch official of high rank happened to be visiting the Court of Berlin, where he was handsomely entertained. Among other spectacles got up to amuse him a review was organized at Potsdam. •" What does your Excellency think of our soldiers ?" asked Prince Bismark, as one of the regiments came marching past in, admirable order. "They look as if they knew how to fight," replied the visitor, gravely ; " but they are not quite tail enough." The Prince looked rather surprised at this disparaging criticism. He made^no answer, however, and several other regiments filed past in succession; but the TJutchman's verdict upon each and all was the same: "Not tall enough" At length the Grena diers of the Guard made their appearance—a magnificent body of veterans, big, and stalwart enough to have satisfied even the giant-loving father of Frederick the Great; but the inexorable critic merely said, " Fine soldiers, but not tall enough." Then Prince Bismark fairly lost patience, and rejoined «omewhat sharply, "These grenadiers are the finest men in our whole army ; may I ask what your Excellency is pleased to mean by saving that they are not tall enough ?" The Dutchman, looked him full in the face, and replied with significant emphasis, I mean that we can flood our country twelvefeet deep."
