128 R. H. WALKEY, ESQ., ON ARCHEOLOGY AND EVOLUTION. 



life of man. All of them, and more particularly the horse, 

 the elephant, and the dog, evolve, from their intercourse with man, 

 a degree of sagacity and intelligence, to which, in their wild state, 

 they are strangers. This intellectual evolution is, in part, designed 

 so far as man is concerned. Bat in part it is undesigned ; as when 

 a dog learns to understand the ways and even the conversation of 

 his masters to a greater extent than he has been intentionally 

 taught. So far, however, as it is undesigned by man, it is part of 

 that general Diviae design in the Universe, which has ordained 

 that the higher forms of life shall influence the lower, and 

 that mind shall act upon matter in ways which we cannot fathom 

 or explain.
