Even a female snail, if we could only put the question, would undoubtedly admit that it loves its little ones. At least we have the strongest presumption from analogy that the idea is correct, for do we not find lions and tigers, apes and gorillas, engaged in lovingly licking we don't mean whipping and otherwise fondling their offspring?
"When you have the honour to refer to the members of my family," said Haywood, with some dim ideas of a code in his mind, "you'd better leave the ladies out of your remarks." "Ho! ladies!" mocked the rude one. "I say ladies! I know what them rich women in the city does. They, drink cocktails and swear and give parties to gorillas. The papers say so." Then Haywood knew that it must be.
We shall continue to think the negro a man, and on Southern evidence, too, as long as he is counted in the population represented on the floor of Congress, for three-fifths of perfect manhood would be a high average even among white men; as long as he is hanged or worse, as an example and terror to others, for we do not punish one animal for the moral improvement of the rest; as long as he is considered capable of religious instruction, for we fancy the gorillas would make short work with a missionary; as long as there are fears of insurrection, for we never heard of a combined effort at revolt in a menagerie.
Give him a brain the same size of Edison's, say fifty-seven ounces, and instead of spending life in hunting for snakes and heaving cocoanuts at monkeys as respectable gorillas are wont, he would be weighing the world in scales of his own invention and making, and measuring the distances of the stars.
They contrived to get possession of three female gorillas, but were obliged to kill them on account of their great ferocity.
"The Stamp Act was to make everybody stamp all materials so they should be null and void. "Washington died in Spain almost broken-hearted. His remains were taken to the cathedral in Havana. "Gorilla warfare was where men rode on gorillas."
It was extinguished in the corruption of its descendants whose faculties grew weaker with each generation and ended in the instincts of gorillas fermented in the brains of grooms and jockeys; or rather, as with the Choiseul-Praslins, Polignacs and Chevreuses, wallowed in the mud of lawsuits which made it equal the other classes in turpitude.
He is not the original discoverer of the fact that they have what may be said to correspond with a language; nor is he the first man to have lived for some while in the jungle protected by wooden bars, with a view to acquiring some knowledge of the meaning of the various syllables that gorillas appear to utter.
Suffice it to say, that the Orangs and the Gibbons constitute the distinct genera, 'Simia' and 'Hylobates'; while the Chimpanzees and Gorillas are by some regarded simply as distinct species of one genus, 'Troglodytes'; by others as distinct genera 'Troglodytes' being reserved for the Chimpanzees, and 'Gorilla' for the Enge-ena or Pongo.
"Da will be fo' gittin' back to de cabe an' stayin' dar." "I hope that traveler escaped them," answered Jack. "But those gun-shots sounded dubious." "De gorillas ought all to be hung!" came from Columbus Washington. "Da aint no sodgers, no matter if da do w'ar a uniform." "They are outlaws, pure and simple," answered Jack. "But come, we must go on. Ben, how far are we from home, do you calculate?"
