('apt.K. Mats, who was horn in Yankee^hind, tells the story of the ipi. er little ani^^mals w ho work for him in the mini s. He^ix a typical New Endalider from Vermont,^mid served in the I num army during the^rebellion, and settled in the south after the^^nr. His iii^n s are situated Hear Chester^^field, in South Carolina, iilumf twenty miles^off the railroad. He has heen working tin in^at a profit for I MUlbM of years, anil new^^in.I improved inachiiiery is constantly uiak^uiK them more valuahlc. As I saw him he^was mi his way to Chicago to purchase an^other new mill to increase the facilities for bisr til .ti ^ -in ^ operationa. Ihave twenty-four monkeys.,' said he,^^eliiploM-d alioiit my mines. I'hey do the^Work Well of seven alile hodled lin n, and it^is mi reflection ii|mii the hiiniau laborers to^Hay that they do a class of work a man can^Hot do as well. In many instances they^lend valuable aid whi le a man would be^Useless. They father Up the small pieces of^Maftl that would be passed unnoticed by^tile workiiif Hi'n and pile theniupiii little^heaps that can be easily fathered up in a^shovel and thrown into the mill. That are^eu'ecdiiiflv adept at catchmi; tin Utile par^tides, and their sharp eyes neyer ene ape the^Very thlllfs that t lie human eye would pass^over. Ho^th ml Winn 1 went to diajRtBfl fold I had two^monkeys that were excis-dnifly tnterestiiif^pets. 'I'liey were constantly follownif me^about the mines, and one day I noticed that^they Were busily elifiifed 111 fatherilif up^little bits of ipiart/. and arraiif nif them in^piles. They seemed to enjoy the labor very^much, and would BO to the mines every^inoruiiif and work there diiriiif the day. It^dul not take me lolif to catch on to their^value as laborers, for at that time our^morkiiifuien. which are mostly colored.^Were unskilled, mid uftcnt mien almost use^lens. Mv two |Mts had not worked very^lotif Is'fore 1 dis'ided to procure more. So^I immediately laaportada number, and now^have two dozen woiknif daily in and about^the inilies. It Is exceedingly luterestiiif to^watch tnv two pal monkeys teach the new^ones how to work, and stratifer still to see^how readily the new coiners take to it Strallfeto say, they control themselves.^They work as they please, sometimes fonif^down into the mines when they have^cleaned up the debris on the outside, i hey^live and work tofether without i|Uarrelliiif^any more than men do. They are qajts^methodical in their habits and fo to work^and ipi it like true workuifnun. I'hey need^MM cue and I have a colored man who^superintends them. He feeds them atul^loon well alter their comfort. 'I'hey Inive^their meals refularly and eat much the^same diameter of food as human benif s do.^Corubread is a (great favorite with them.^'I'hey clean up about the mine, follow^the wheelbarrows and carts used in lummy^and pick up evcrytlinif that falls otf aloiif^the way. No one who has not seen them^can even iuiufiuc the wonderful intelli-^feiuc thev ilispl.ty and the neatness and^cleanliness with which they parfom their^work. Nothing aaoapaa theui. Every little^panicle ia pioked Bp and cared for. I'hey^fo down into the mines and come, out as^they please. They are friendly with the^workmen employed there, but are cieeed-^itiflv shy with str.uifers. They are most^eici lleiit detiH'tivcs. and no workman call^fct on food eiioilfh terms with them to^carry away a piece of HMftl. The men^frenuently attenipt It just for s|sirt, to see^the monkeys mi after them mid chatter^until thev put down whatever they may^have in UaW hands. It is strattfc to his'^how they will ilis, riinui iti- between the^lOoU used bv the Workuif iiieti and a piece^a tutrix, rhej only keep their eye on and did you first cmne to euiploy ofMarts, 1'hcv only k^tuake a fuss about what thev must recof^ui/e as my pro|^crty. I would not part with^them, because 1 ilo not know how their^place could be supplied. Certainly not^with human beiiifs.
