    It Was the Cat.
A lather curious thing happened in
New Haven, Ct. A la.go black cat man- I
aging to get into the cellar in some
mysterious way, and finding it impos
sible to get out, and feeling rather des
pondent at the outlook of affairs, re
sorted to craft. Jumping on the win
dow sill, with her front paws she kept
the wire connected with the front door
bell working, the bell pealing inces
santly. The head of the family, becom
ing alarmed at the steady and inces
sant ringing, went to the door, found
no one, and returned to' his arm-chair
to ponder. The ringing continued, ;
and, thinking perhaps that a band of
robbers were in the house, he started in 1
search of a policeman, who should i
, search the cellar and arrest the offen- j
der, if offender it should prove. The
policcmau and the prominent citizen
entered the cellar, armed with clubs
and pistols and a dark lantern. The
flash of the lantern lit on the cat, work
ing away in dead earnest. “Goodness
me! what is that?” asked the proprie
tor. _ “ By hoky-poky, ’tis the cat,”
readily responded I he officer. The cat
in the meanwhile, seeing a way of es
cape, ran out the door, and order was
once more restored in the house.

An Echo from the World'! Fair.
The Lake Shore Route has recently
gotten out a very handsome litho
water color of the “Exposition Flyer,"
the famous twenty hour train in ser
vice between New York and Chicago
during the fair. Among the many
wonderful achievements of the Colum
bian year this train—which was the
fastest long distance train ever run—
holds a prominent place, and to any
one interested in the subject the pict
ure is well worth framing. Ten cents
in stamps or silver sent to C. 1C. Wil

secure one.
A long time ago, in Mason county
Ky„ an old toper agreed to tight a feror
cions ram, the prize being a quart of
whisky. The whole village collected to
see the fight. Both man and ram
charged at the same time, but the man
quickly righted, and, planting his foot
upon the lifeless carcass ol his foe, de
manded and drunk the whisky. Just
at tho moment of collision th3 man had
dropped his head, and the nose, of the
ram coming in contact with the ele
vated shoulders, the animal’s neck was
broken.

EXCITED GOVERNOR.
SUBJECT OF DR. TALMAOE'S
TALK THROUGH THE PRESS.
Acta !!4: xxv—Felix Trembled and An
awercd: "Co Tliy XVay for Till* Time,
XV lien 1 lime a lent talent Season I
XVI11 Call for Vou.”
A city of marble was Cesarea—
wharves of marble, houses of marble,
temples of marble. This being the
ordinary architecture of the place,
you may imagine something of the
splendor of (jov. Felix’s residence In
a room of that palace, floor tesselated,
windows curtained, ceiling fretted,
the whole scene affluent with Tyrian
purple, and statues, and pictures, and
carvings, sat a very dark-complexioned
man by the name of Felix, and beside
him a woman of extraordinary beauty,
whom he had stolen by breaking up
another domestic circle. She was only
1H years of age, a princess by birth,
and unwittingly waiting for her doom
—that of being buried alive in the
ashes and scoria.* of Mount Vesuvius,
which in sudden eruption, one day,
■put an end to her abominations. Well,
one afternoon Drusilla, seated in the
palace, weary with the magnificent
stupidities of the place, says to Felix:
“You have a very distinguished pris
oner, I believe, by the name of Paul.
Do you know he.is one of my country
men? I should very much like to see
him, and I should very much like to
bear him speak, for 1 have heard so
much about his eloquence. Be
sides that, the other day, when
he was being tried in another
room of this palace, and the windows
were open, 1 heard the applause that
greeted the speech of Lawyer Ter
tullus, as he denounced PauL Now, I
very much wish I could hear Paul
speak. Won’t you let me hear him
speak?” "Y'es,” said Felix, “I will. I
will order him up now from the
guara-room. tiunk, cianic, comes a
chain un the marble stairway anil
there is a shuffle at the door, and in
comes Paul, a little old man, prema
turely old through exposure—only 60
years of age, but looking as though he
were to. He bows very courteously
before the governor and the beautiful
woman by his side. . They say: “Paul,
we have heard a great deal about your
speaking; give us now a specimen of
your eloquence.” Oh! if there ever
was a chance for a man to show off,
Paul had a chance there. He might
have harangued them about Grecian
art, about the wonderful water works
he had seen at Corinth, about the
Acropolis by moonlight, about prison
life in Philippi, about ‘ what I saw in
Thessalonica,” about the old mytholo
gies; but “>io!” Paul said to himself:
“I am now on the way to martyrdom,
and this man and woman 'will soon be
dead, and this is my only oppor
tunity to talk to them about the
things of eternity.” And just there
and then, there brbke in upon the scene
a peal of thunder. It was the voice
of a judgment day speaking through
the words of the decrepit apostle. As
that grand old missionary proceeded
with his remarks, the stoop begins to
go out of his shoulders, and he rises
up, and his countenance is illumined
i with the glories of a future life, and
his shackles rattle and grind as he
1 lifts his fettered arm, and with it
i hurls upon his abashed auditors the
] bolts of God’s indignation. Felix
; grew very white about the lips. His
! heart beat unevenly. He put his hand
I to his brow, as though to stop the
, quickness and violence of his thoughts,
i He drew his robe tighter about him,
as under a sudden cliilL His eyes
• glare and his knees shake, and, as he
| clutches the side of his chair in a very
paroxysm of terror, he orders the
sheriff to take Paul back to the guard
room. “Felix trembled, and said, Go
thy way for this time; when I have a
convenient season, I will call for
thee.” A young man came one night
to our services, with pencil in hand,
to .caricature the whole scene, and
make mirth of those who should ex
press any anxiety about their souls;
but I met him at the door, his face
very white, tears running down his
cheek, as he said, “Do you think there
is any chance for me?” Felix trem
bled, and so may God grant it may be
so with others.
I propose to give you two or three
reasons why 1 think Felix sent Paul
back to the guard room and adjourned
this whole subject of. religion. The
first reason was, he did not want tc
give up his sins. He looked around:
there was Drusilla. He knew that
when he became a Christian, he must
send her back to Azizus, her lawful
husband, and he said to himself, “1
will risk the destruction of my immor
tal soul, sooner than 1 will do that.”
How many there are now who can not
get to be Christians, because they will
not abandon their sins! In vain all
their prayers and all their church go
j ing. You can not keep these darling
! sins and win heaven; and now some ol
you will have to decide between the
wine cup, and unlawful amusements,
and lascivious gratifications on one
hand and eternal salvation on the
other. Delilah sheared the locks oi
tsamson; Salome danced Herod intc
the pit; Drusilla blocked up the way
to heaven for Felix. Yet when I pre
sent the subject now, I fear that seme
, of you will say, “Not quite yet. DouM
be so precipitate in your demands. 1
have a few tickets yet that I have tc
i use. I have a few engagements that-.'
must keep. I want to stay a little
I longer in the whirl of convivialty—a
j few more guffaws of unclean laughter,
I a few more steps on the road to death.
and then, sir, 1 will listen to what you
; say. Go thy way for this time; when
I have a convenient season, I will call
for thee. ’ ”
Another reason why Felix sent Paul
back to the guard room and adjourned
this subject was, he was so very busy.
In ordinary times he found the affairs
of state absorbing, but those were ex
traordinary times. The whole land
was ripe for insurrection. The Sicarii,
a band of assassins, were already
prowling around the palace, and 1
suppose he thought, “I can’t attend
to religion while I am so pressed by
affairs of state.” It was business,
among other things, that ruined his
soiil, and I suppose there are thou
sands of people who are not children
of God because they have so much
business. It is business in the store—
losses, gains, unfaithful employes. It
is business in your law olliee—sub
poenas, writs you have to write out,
papers you have to file, arguments you
have to make. It is your medical pro
fession, with its broken nights, and
the exhausted anxieties of life hang
ing upon your treatment It is
your real estate office, your
business with landlords and tenants,
and the failure of men to meet their
obligations with you. Ay, with some
of those who are here, it is the annoy
ance of the kitchen, and the sitting
room, and the parlor—the wearing
economy of trying to meet large ex
penses with a small income. Ten
thousand voices of “business, busi
ness, business,” drown the voice of
the Eternal spirit, silencing the voice
of the advancing judgment day, over
coming the voice of eternity; and they
can not hear, they can not listen.
They say, “Go thy way for this time.”
Some of you look upon your goods,
look upon your profession, you look
upon your memorandum-books, and
you see the demands that are made
this very week upon your time and
your patience and your money; and
while I am entreating you about your
soul and the danger of procrastination
you say, “Go thy way for this time:
when I have a convenient season, I
will call for thee.” Oh. Felix, why
be bothered about the affairs of this
world so much more than about
the affairs of eternity? Do you
not know that when death
comes you will have to stop business,
though it be in the most exacting
period of it—between the payment of
the money and the taking of the re
ceipt? The moment he comes you will
have to go. Death waits for no man,
however high, however low. AA'ill
you put your office, will you put your
shop in comparison with the affairs of
an eternal world? Affairs that in
volve thrones, palaces, dominions
eternal? Will you put 200 acres of
ground against immensity? Will you
put forty or fifty years of your life
against millions of ages? Oh, Felix,
you might better postpone everything
else! for do you not know that the up
holstering of Tyrian purple in vour
palace will fade, and the marble
blocks of Cesarea will crumble and
the breakwater at the beach, made of
great blocks of stone sixty feet long,
must give way before the perpetual
wash of the sea; but the redemption
that Paul offers you will be forever?
And yet, and yet, and yet you wave
him back to the guard room, saying,
“Go thy way for this time; when I
have a convenient season 1 will call
for thee.”
Again, Felix adjourned this subject
of religion and put off Paul's argu
ment, because he could not give up the
honors of the world. He was afraid
somehow he would be compromised
lnmself in this matter. Remarks he
made afterward showed him to be in
tensely ambitious. Oh, how he hugged
the favor of men!
I never saw the honors of this world
in their hollowness and hypocrisy so
much as in the life and death of that
wonderful mau, Charles Sumner. As
he went toward the place of burial,
even Independence hall, in Philadel
phia, asked that his remains stop there
011 their way to Boston. The flags
were at half-mast, and the minute
guns on Boston Common throbbed
after his heart had ceased to beat.
Was it alwavs so? While he lived,
how censured of legislative resolu
tions, how caricatured of the pictori
als; how charged with every motive
mean and ridiculous; how all the urns
of scorn and hatred and billings
gate emptied upon his head:
how, when struck down in senate
chamber, there were hundreds of
thousands of people who said, "Good
for him, served him right!” how he
had to put the ocean between him and
his maligners, that he might have a
little peace, and how, when he went
off sick, they said he was broken
hearted because he could not get to
be President or secretary of state.
Oh Commonwealth of Massachusetts!
who is that mau who sleeps in your
public hall, covered with garlands
and wrapped in the stars and stripes?
Is that the man who, only a few
months before, you denounced as the
foe of republican and democratic insti
tutions? Is that the same man? Ye
American people, ye could not by one
week of funeral eulogium and news
j paper leaders, which the dead sena
tor could neither read nor hear, atone
for twenty-five years of maltreatment
and caricature. When I see a man
; like that, pursued by all the hounds
of the political kennel so long as he
I lives, and then buried under a
great pile of garlands, and amidst
the lamentations of a whole nation, I
say to myself: What an unutterably
hypoeritic.il thing is all human ap
plause and all human favor! You
took twenty-five years in trying to
pull down his fame, and then take
! twenty-five years in trying to build
his monument My friends, was there
ever a better commentary on the hol
lowness of all earthly favor? If there
are young men who read this who are
postponing religion in order that thev
may have the favors of this world, let
me persuade them of their complete
folly. If you are looking forward tc
gubernatorial, senatorial or Presiden
tial chair, let me show you your great
mistake: Can it be that there is now
any young man saying, “Let me have
pflitical office, let me have some of
the high positions of trust and power,
and then I will attend to religion; but
not now. ‘Go thy way for this time;
when I have a convenient season, I
will call for thee!’”
FOUND THE LEG.
Which Ho Lo.<it Very Suddenly Twelve
Yearn Ayco.
“Jim Pieisinger found his lost
log,” said a resident of Roulette,
Penn., who recently returned from
the Butler county oil regions. “Jim
lost his leg twelve years ago last
spring. Ho was taking a can of
nitro-glycarine to Centerville to
shoot an oil well. He had it sus
pended from the reach of his wagon,
where he thought it would be safe
from any jar and consequent danger
of explosion. Jim would have been
right in his calculation, no doubt, it
it hadn’t been for a bear that rose
suddenly from a wallow hole at the
side of the road, just as the team
was passing.
J he unexpected appearance of the
bear frightened the horses and t/.ey
ran away* They didn’t run far,
though. The wagon struck a deep
rut in the road. The suspended ran
of nitro glycerine was knocked with
such' force against a stone as the
wagon jolted down that it was ex
ploded. When Jim came to he was
hanging to the top of a rail fence
fifty feet away from where the nitro
glycerine had exploded, if he could
judge from the hole half as big us
a cellar that yawned in the road.
There wasn’t a fragment of anything
in sight to indicate that a few sec
onds before there had been a team of
horses and a spring wagon where the
hole was. Then Jim discovered that
he only had one leg, his right one
having been blown away from just
above the knee.
Fortunately for Jim some drillers
heard the explosion, and hurried to
the spot to see how little there was
left of .Jim and his outfit. They were
amazed to find so much of Jim left,
and they quickly carried him to the
nearest house and got a doctor. Jim
was around all right in a few weeks.
No evidence of the previous existence
of the team, wagon or Jim’s lost leg
had ever been discovered.
“One day last week George buck
son chopped down a big oak tree
that stood in a field 3)0 yards from
the spot where Jim Retsinger’s blow
up occurred, in a crotch of that
tree, fifty feet from the ground, he
found some funny looking bones
lodged. He took them to Center
ville to a doctor.
“•Why!’ said he, ‘those are the
lower hones of the human leg! 4
complete set of them, too: ’
“ ‘Jim Keisinger’s leg, sure!’ said
Dickson.
“There couldn’t be any doubt
about it. No one else had ever lost
a leg in that locality and never found
it, and so it was Jim’s long-lost leg,
and no mistake. They boxed the
bones up and sent them to Jim at
Prospect, where he lives now, and
when I had left Butler county he
had just written back and said that
while the leg wouldn't be of much
use, he was glad to see it, and was
I much obliged.”
A Detective’s Advice.
“Go smash a store window, throw
a stone through a street lamp, knock
a man down, or commit any petty
crime to get locked up.” That was
the advice one of the leading de
tectives of the city gave a reporter
when he asked the best method of
keeping out of. the clutches of the
city detectives after having com
mitted a crime. “The station house
is the last place thev would look for
you,” he continued, “and surely not
in prison.” This fact was well
illustrated by the exhaustive search
made by the officers a short time
ago for a well-known criminal, who
was afterward accidentally discover
ed in Moyamensing prison, where he
had been sent by a magistrate on a
trivial charge.—Philadelphia North
4merican.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is ,
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.
Health of Horses.
The health and comfort of horses have
of late years been greatly improved by
the better construction of stables. They
are made more roomy and lofty, anil
provided with means of thorough ven
tilation. In many new stables lolts are
done away with, or the floor of the lofts
is kept well above the horses’heads, and
ample shafts are introduced to convey
away foul air. By perforated bricks
and gratings under the mangers and
elsewhere round the walis, and also by
bay windows and ventilators, abundance
of pure air is secured for the horses;
while, being introduced in moderate
amount and from various directions, it
comes in without draught. Too much
draught is almost an unknown stable
luxury. To secure a constant supply of
pure air, horses require more cubic
space than they generally enjoy. Even
when animals are stabled only at nigbl,
a minimum of 1,200 cubic feet should
be allowed. In England, the newer
cavalry barracks give a minimum of
1,500 feet, with a ground area of fully
ninety square feet per horse, and the
best bunting and carriage horses have
more room.—Journal of Chemistry.

Good Versus Bad Players.
Two good whist players were matched
against two bad players, and the same
arrangement was made in another room,
in winch the bad players held the same
hands as the good players in the first
room, and vice versa. Thirty-three
hands were played. In one room the
good players held good cards and won
four rubbers out of six, in points a bal
ance of eighteen; in the other room the
good players had the bad cards, and
played seven rubbers with the same
number of cards, winning three out of
seven, and losing seven points on the
balance. The difference was eleven
points, or nearly one point a rubber in
favor of skill. Dr. Pole, working by a
statistical method, has arrived at nearly
the same result; but he estimates the
advantage of superior personal play,
au»,ng players all playing by system, at
about a quarter of a point a rubber. So
that the combined skill of two very
skillful players against two very un
skillful ones would be more than half a
point a rubber.

Sam Houston's Duel.
A correspondent of the Bowling
Green (Ky.) Intelligencer unearthed an
old man of the vicinity who remembered
all about “the sensation of the yeai
1826,” the old man being one of the
participants in the duel that caused the
sensation. To settle a spat that came
of hot blood Gen. Sam Houston, then a
member of Congress from Tennessee,
ani Gen. White, of Nashville, agreed
that on “Sept. 23, 1826,” they would
“tight a duel on the Tennessee line;
time, sunrise; distance, fifteen feet;
weapons, holster pistols.” Houston got
out of bed at 3:4(i a. in. on the 23d, and,
sitting in his night clothes, molded two
bullets. As the first fell from the
mold a dog named “ Gen. Jackson*
raised a triumphant howl under th»
window. When the second bullet
dropped a game cock crowed long and
loud from a neighboring tree. Houston,
who was superstitious, cut the figure of
a dog on one bullet, and that of a cock
on the other. The principals stood at
their posts on the second and to the
inch. White’s lead cut a whistle
through the sharp air, but Houston
stood unhurt. At the same instant the
bullet with the dog mark passed clean
through White’s body, so that a silk
handkerchief was drawn from onesidete
the other. After the duel Houston select
ed as his coat-of arms the famous
! “ chicken cock and dog.”
