ANOTHER STUBBORN SEYMOUR
PoLE.-A gentleman who returned
from New Harmonyyesterday informs
us that the Democracy Of New Har-
mony made an effort to raise a Sey-
mour and Blair pole in that town on
Saturday night, but that it proved
stubborn like the one on the corner of
Main and Water Streets in this city,
and wouldn't elevate, but on the con-
trary, became so stubborn that it fell
and broke down a portion of the por-
tico in front of Thrall & Mumford's
store. They propose to give it another
boost to-day, and to continue the
effort until they get it up in some
shape. One OF the play actors became
so enthusiastic with the effort that he
was unable to appear in his role. The
fact is, that the Democracy of New
Harmony is not as strong as it used to
be,and is gradually but surely wasting
away HaDff r.4

A ROusing Meeting.

Notwithstanding the rain last eve
ming, which made walking exce, ding
ly d~isagreeable, a large crowI Of la
dies and gentlemen assembled at the
corner of Seventh and Sycamore
Streets, to witness the raising of an
other Grant AID Colfax pole. The
men engaged in the labor, worked
right manfuIly, and when all was
ready, the tall and beautiful pole was
raised without the least trouble, amid
the shouts of enthusiastic supporters
of Grant and Colfax. The Stars and
Stripes were then flung to the breeze,
when loud calls were made for
ID. d. Doughty, who responded in an
excellent speech, by far the best that
gentlman has ever made in this city.
The speech was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, and the speaker
loudly applauded throughout. 1t
was one of the best meetings we
have yet had in the city. The
citizens of the Fourth Ward are
wide awake, and will do a
good work. Quite a number of re-
cruits were obtained for the company
organizing in that ward. 1t will be
filed in a few days.

The STORM AND hAIN LAST EVEN
ING.-We have seldom witnessed a
more grand and peculiar phenoma-
non than that which preceded the
rain storm last evening. Dark bill
lowy clouds arose in the northwest,
the lower edges tipped with a golden
hue. Thin clouds and vapor partly
obscured the setting sun, giving to
the face of the day king a fry and
angry look. Along the northwestern
horizon tn ere stretched a streak of
light yellow, a mere ribbon in width
at first, but widening as the dark
cloud swept up the celestial arch,
until it expanded 25o or 800 above the
horizon. Drifts or rain, as if pouring
q deluge, could be seen sweep
ing down from the north to-
ward the sunset, and a dark
mass of streaked clouds hung over
the setting sun. From the broad
lemon celored cloud, forked light
nings Dashed, and the deep mutter-
ings of distant thunder were heard.
The dark, billowy clouds swept rap
idly up, and the light yellow cloud
soon assumed a deeper hue, when a
heavy rain broke upon the city, pre-
ceeded by a heavy wind hal beat the
waters of the rivers into wild bill
lows, which broke in white spray
upon the reefs of the bar in front of
the city, causing them to look as II
fringed with ice. 1t was a grand and
magnificent spectacle, and was. ad-
mired greatly by all who beheld the
singular phenomenon.

The KILKENNY CATs.-A corre-
spondent from ireland gives what he
vouches for as the real origin of the
story of the cats Of Kilkenny:
During the rebellion which oc-
Cured in Ireland in 1898, Tor it may
be in 1909, Kilkenny was garri-
soned by regiment of Hessian SOL
diers, whose custom it was to tie to-
gether, in one of their barrack- rooms,
two cats by their respective tails,
and then to throw them face to face
across a line generally used for dry
ing clothes The cats naturally be-
came infuriated, and scratched each
other in the abdomen until death en-
sued to one or both of them, and ter
minated their suff.rings. The Off
GERS of the corps were ultimately
made acquainted with these barbar-
Gus acts OF cruelty, ard they resolved
to put an end to them and punish
the offenders. In order to effect this
purpose an officer was ordered to in.
spect 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, generally employed
one of their comrades to watch the
approach of the officer, in order that
the cats might be liberated and take
refuge in flight before the visit of
the officer TO the scene of their tor
ture. On one occasion the "look. out"
man neglected his duty, and the Of
ticer Of the day was heard ascending
the barrack-stairs while the cats were
undergoing their customary tortures.
One of the troopers Immediately
seized sword from the arm rack,
and with single blow divided the
tails of the two cats. The cats of
course, escaped through the open
windows of the room, which was en-
tered almost Immediately after by
the officer, who inquired what was
the cause of two bleeding cats tails
being suspended on the clothes line,
and was 'old in reply that two cats
had been fighting in the room that
it was impossible to separate them,
and that they had fought so desper-
aely that they had devoured each
other up, with the exception of their /.
two tails, which might have satisfied
Capt. Schummelkettel, but would
not have deluded any person but a
beery Prussian.
