TFrom Yesterdays Evening Papers. ]

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-The Senate re-
manned in session till midnight last night.
The military bill passed. It reduces the
army to 30, 900 men, three infantry and one
cavalry regiment to be colored, musters out
all except the West Point board, and gives
1000 Springfield rifles to each Congressional
district on condition that the Secretary of
War is satisfied that the militia are loyal,
The last provision excited sharp debate,
Mr.. Drake saying that he would, if he had
his way, arm every loyal man in the South
ern States with Springfield rife and
cartridges dd libitnDl, and so far as he was
concerned he was perfectly willing for it TO
be written on this bill that these arms were
intended for the protection of the loyal men
at the polls.

A Black Cat Spectator.

1T Is said that an enterprising Yankee,
having bought an island in the Ohio riv-
er, has stocked the same with black cats,
intending TO 90 into the fur trade. This
reminds an exchange Of a similar expert
ment which was made by a gentleman
who resided in Maryland. The idea
struck him that as the fur trade was so
lucrative, it would be much better to
raise animals nearer home than the re-
gions of the North, and accordingly pur-
chased an island in the Chesapeake Bay,
stocking it with the blackest of black
eats. lie paid extravagant prices for
the felines. and all the boys in the ad-
iacent country went extensively into the
business of. entrapping unsuspeeting
Tommies and Tabbies, which were i'm
mediately disposed of and sent to the
aforesaid island
The gentleman found the cats were
prolific, and was soon compelled to en-
ploy a seine, in order to supply them
with food At first, the fishermen had
quite au easy time, and always supplied
fish in abundance for their charges; but
the numbers daily increased, until whole
legions of black cats trooped over the
island home, devOuring every thing in
the shape of food, and the men found it
impossible to furnish the requisite
amount of nourishment. At last, it
was determined that one of the men
should take a boat, and, returning to
the mainland, report the alarming state
Of affairs. During the absence of the
messenger, the cats became exceedingly
bold, and the remaining party, fearing
for his life, locked himself up in his
cabin and prepared for a siege.
The enemy, emboldened by this dis
play Of fear, aud urged on Ey hunger,
surrounded the house, climbed up the
sides, staring in at the a6righted man
through tho windows and apertures,
keeping up the while the most hideous
catterwauling He carefully stopped up
every cre7ice save the chimney, but,
hearing and seeing ominous falling Of
SCOT, which disclosed deter mination on
the part of the besiegjng force to effect
surprise, he closed that opening also,
and Micawber like waited for something
to turn up For two days and nights
he kept in that singular prison with the
dreadful howls of the famishing cats
ever resounding in his ears, and with
savage eyes glaring at him continually.
At length party arrived with guns
and succeeded in succoring the man from
his truly awful position, but 50 numer-
GUS were the cats, SO fierce and threaten
ing their demeanor, that both the res
cuers and rescued were only too glad to
leave this pandemonium Of jet black
cats, gaunt and ferocious as they we're
from starvation.
The animals, We believe, all psrished,
and thus ended one of the most extern
siye cat-rearing ventures ever recorded.
Tho individual who has STATED q cat
plantation on the island in the Ohio riv-
er may have the benefit of the expert
ence related above, free of cost.

Josh Billings on Lager Beer.


I HAY finally come teR the conclusion
that lager beer is not intoxicating.
I hev been told so by a german who
ssd be had drank it aWl mite long, jest
to tly the experiment, and was obliged
to go hum entirely sober in the morning.
l have seen this same man drink sixteen
glasses, aud if he was drunk he was
drunk in german, and nobody could un-
derstand It. 1t is proper snuf to state
shat this man kept lager beer saloon
and could haV no object 10 stating What
was not strictly thus.
I believed him tew the full extent ov
my ability. I n,7er drank but three
glasses of lager beer in mi life, and that
made mi he'd outwist, az tho it wax hung
on the end oY a string, but Waz told
that it waz oyin to mi bile being out ov
place and guess that it was so, for j
never billed over wuss then did when !
got hum that mite. Ny wife thot Eaz
gOin tsw die, and Waz afraid that j
shouldn't for it did seem as tho every
thing had eaten in nj life wax cummin
to the surface, aud do really believe that
if my wife hadn't pulled OF mi boots
jes as she did, they would have cum
thundeTin up too.
Oh ! how sick 1 was!; IA years ago,
and I can taste it now.
l never had 50 much experience in 50
short time.
If emmy man shud tell me that lager
beer waz not intoxicating, I should be-
lieve him but if he should tell me tha.
wasn't drunk that night, but that nj
stumuck Waz only out ov order, I should
ask him teW state over a few words, just
low a man felt and acted when he Waz
we'll set up.
If want drunk that mite I had some
ov the most material symptoms that man
ever he'd, and keep sober. a--
In the first place it was about so rods
from where drank the lager beer to mi
house, ana was over 2 hours on the
road, and had hole bustid thru each
one of mi pautaloOn knees, and didn't
have any hat, and tried to open the door
by the bell-pull, and liJkuPped aWfully,
and saw every thing in the room trying
tew get round on the back side oV me
and in ssttin down in a chair didn't
wait long enuff for it to get exactly under
me when it was going round, and I set
down a little too soon and missed the
chair about u inches, and wOuldn t get
up soon enough to take the next one
that cum along; and that amt all my
wife said was as drunk as a beast, and
as said before, began to spit up things
freely.
Still, / hardly think that lager beer
is intoxicating, for hav been told so
and i am probably the only man living
who ever drank emmy when his bile was
not plumb.

g Meet Gertrude. -

THE Selma Messenger tells the follow
ing capital story, as genuine and au-
thentic
Among the most enterprising and in
dustrious m,r hants of Selma, is one
whom we will call Smith, principally be-
cause it isn't his name, who is blessed
with a most exemplary wife in all re
spects save one--she is of rather ieal-
Gus disposition Mr.. Smith has been of
late very much engrossed in his evenings
over his ledger, instead Of in the bosom
of his family, as has been his custom for
years. In reply to the queries of Mrs
S. on the subject he would always say
that he was employed in his business
She did not understand how business
could tako up so much of his time,
and her suspicious were aroused that it
was not right. Visions of hours spent
by her husband in other female society
than her Own, haunted her mind, and
Urbana union. [volume] (Urbana, Ohio) 1862-1872, 1868-02-26

she made an inward vow to watch and
see for herself.
Soon after arriving at this resolution,
a telegram arrived for her husband and
was sent to his Office, which was closed.
as he had gone to his supper. The car
rier went to his house and delivered it
to his servant at the door The gentle
man not having arrived, it was handed
t, his wife, who, with true feminine curl
osity, read it. 1t was plain and short !:
Montgomery, Dec, 1867.
'1Ir. Smith: Meet Gertrude tonight. y
Here was a horrible confirmation Of
her worst fears. Controlling herself as
best she could, she laid the dispatch by
his plate. He came in, read it, and said
be ''wOuld have to go to town after sup
per, and might not be back till late; she
need not sit up for him" he hurried
through his meal, took his hat, and
walked hurriedly down the street. Be-
fore he had turned the corner his wife
was following him swiftly and noiselessly.
He went straight on, she close behind
him until he reached the Warf. After
an apparent inspection Of the surround
ings, he stepped down the hill and took
a seat in the Office of the Magnolia.
His vile took a position where she
could see him through the glass door,
and waited for the fnale-which was
expected in the shape of a Gertrude,
whom her faitbless spouse was to meet.
Time dragged on wearily, and the lady
became droWsy and at last fell into a
doze, from which she was aroused by the
shrill whistle Of an approaching steam
er. Nearer and nearer she came, and
as she rounded to, the name "Gertruds, "
in large, brightly painted letters, met
the view Of the jealous wife, and stem
torian voice inquiring if Smith was on
hand, completed her awakening.
At glance the position was realized,
and a poor woman could have cried for
vexation as she saw her husband and an
other gentleman hurriedly tranSacting
some business within a few feet Of her,
At that moment a tipsy negro came
stumbling along, and seeing woman's
dress half hidden among the bales and
boxes Of merchandise, seized her, ex-
claiming. Come out OBJ dar, ole gal.
Her scream Of terror brought her hus-
band to the scene, whose a,tOnishment
may be imagined. She fell into bis arms
with hysterieal burst of sobs, aud ex-
plantations ensued.
The party returned home in a hack,
and somebody's head was on somebody 5
bosom all the way. Since that time all
that Smith has to do to avert a scolding
is to insinuate that be will "meet Ger
