A correspondent from Ireland gives
what he vouches for as the real origin Of
the story of the cats of Kilkenny:
During the rebellion which occurred in
Ireland in 1898, Cor it might be in 1908 J,
Kilkenny was garrisoned by regiment of
Hessian soldiers, whose custom it was to
tie together, in one Of their barrack-rooms,
two cats BY their respective tails, and then
throw them face to face across line gen.
orally used for drying clothes. The cats
naturally became Infatuated, and scratched
each other in the abdomen, until death
ensued to one or both of them, and ter
minated their sufferngs.
The officers of the corps were ultimately
made acquainted with these barbarous acts
Of cruelty, and they resolved to put an
end to them, and punish the offenders
In order to effect this purpose, an officer
was ordered to inspect each barrack-room
daily and report to the commanding officer
in what state he found the room. The
cruel soldiers determined not to lose their
daily torture of the wretched cats. gener-
ally employed one of their comrades to
watch the approach of the officer, in or
der that the cats might be liberated and
take refuge in flight before the visit of
the officer to the scene Of torture. On one
occasion the "lookout man" neglected his
duty. and the officer of the day was heard
ascending the barrack stair while the cats
were undergoing their customary torture.
One of the troopers Immediately seized a
sword, and with single blow divided the
tails of the two cats. The cats, of course,
escaped through the open window Of the
room, which was entered Immediately by
the officer, who inquired what was the
cause of two bleeding cats tails being sus-
pended on the clothes line, and was told
that two cats had been fighting in the
room; that it was impossible to separate
them, and that they had fought so desper-
ately that they had devoured each other up
with the exception of their two tails.

THE saying that Zone may as well be
out of the world as out of fashion" was
e1emplfed the other day. A lady in St.
Louis, who had been attending upon a
sick sister, went on the street without her
hoops, aud her contracted skirts attracted
the attention of an officer, who arrested
her as a man dressed in female attire.
The lady was taken to the police Office,
aud, on being questioned, proved to be
very intelligent and exceedingly good
looking, besides being a complete woman,
with the exception Of the hoops. She
gave satisfactory account of her hoopless
condition, and said she was from Will
mingbon, TIL. Being satisfied that she
was a veritable woman, the officers re-
leased her, and we hardly think she viii
come out again without her surrounding
of hoops, waterfall, rats. mice and other
feminine tOggery.

rather than to the letter of the Copsti-
tuition, will recognize no authority but
the commander OF the district and the
General OF the army. If there were
no other objections than this to the
proposed legislation, 1t would be sufh-
cient.
whilst hold the chief executive au-
thority of the United States; whilst the
obligation rests on me to see that all the
laws are faithfully executed, can new
er willingly surrender that trust or the
powers given for its execution. l can
never give my assent TO be made re-
sponsible for the faithful execution oi
the laws, and at the same time surren-
der that trust and the powers that ac-
company it, to any other executive otn-
car, high or low, or number OF eXecu-
tive officers.
II these executive trusts vested by
the Constitution in the President, are to
be taken from him and vested in sub
ordinate officer, the responsibility Will
be with Congress, in clothing the sub
ordinate with unconstitutional power,
and with the officer who assumes its
exercise. This interference with the
constitutional authority of the eXecu-
tive department is an evil that Will in
evitably sap the foundations of our
Federal system, but it is not the worst
evil of this legislation. 1t is great
public wrong to take from the Presi-
dent powers, conferred on him by the
Constitution. But the wrong is more
fi4grant and more dangerous when the
powers so taken from the President are
conferred on subordinate executive
officers, and especially upon military
officers.
over nearly one-third of the States OF
the Union, military power, regulated
by no fixed law, rules supreme. Euch
OF the five district commanders, though
not chosen by the people, or responsi-
BILE to them, exercises at this hour more
executive power, military and civil,
than the people buve ever been willing
TO confer upon the head of the Execu-
tive Department, though chosen by,aDd
responsible TO, themselves. They know
what it is, and how 1t is to Oe applied
to the present time. They cannot, nc-
cording to the forms of the COnstitu-
tiou, repenl their laws. They cannot
rem I'VE or control this military despOt-
ism. The remedy is, nevertheless, in
their hands. 1t is TO be found in the
ballot, and is n sure one, If not con-
trolled by fraud and awed by arbitrary
power, or from apathy on their part toe
long delayed.
With abiding confidence in their pa.
triotism, wisdom, and integrity, 1 um
still hopeful of the future, and that in
the end the rod of despOtlsm Will be
broken, the armed heal of power lifted
from the necks of the people, and the
principles of violated Constitution be
preserved. ANDREW JOHNSON.
