A CAT AN HEIRES.

One of the most exquisite of musicians, In
her time, was Mademoiselle Dupuy, OF the
French opera. Her playing upon the harp
was the wonder of Paris. She was convlnc-
cd, however, that she owed her artistic excel
lence to her facOrt6 cat And OF this
strange intimacy between a charming wo'
man and her qusdruped favorite. Mopcrif,
her biOgrapher, gives the following interest
ing particulars:
of course the lovely musicians practis'
iug's at home, were assiduous and constant.
But as soon as she sat down and began to
prelude upon the instrument, she noticed
that her cat assumed an attitude OF intense
attention. At the point of the instruments
arriving at any passage of peculiar beauty,
the excited grimalkin went into feline &C.
stacy; and 80 we'll measured was this sens-
bility, according to the excellence Of the play
ing and pathos Of tie composition, that
Mile Dupuy was able to judge of the quail
ty Of the music by the manifest emotions of
her catl She became devout Pusseyite, in
fact, believing that the nervous creature was
an exac; prophet, foretelling precisely how
music would affect the audience. And she
was gratefulaccordingly to the friend to whom
she thought she owed mainly her artistic
success.
In her last illness, at the approach Of
death, MILE Dupuy sent for the notary to
make her will. She had accumulated for
tune by her profession; and the first clause
Of her testament was the 9iring cther town-
hOuSe 0s,9 her co~ntry-houSe 10 her cat She
added to this annuity sufficient for the COM
Portable support of the four-egged meaosician
during it's natural life; aud to make sure tina,
this, her last will and testament, should be
respected, she gave several legacies to friends
on the express condition that thew should see
to the fulfilment of her wishes. 1t was also
a condition that they should severally take
turns during the week in going to see and
keep company with the orphan puss!
Moncrif adds that the relatives of Mile
Dnpny disputed the validity Of the will, and
a law suit was the equence--Grimslkin
VS.. Dupuys. But the cat gained the case,
and lived out her days with the genteel alter
nation between an elegant town-house and
her charming country-house. The psrticu-
lars of the final catastrophe are not given.
