to show what his views are upon
the financial questions OF she eosan-
try, nor has he made ananifest his
views upon say Of the great On s.
tons now agitating the mind of the
American public. He has gisen ~
Evidence that he can axTRAr by his
action toward Dir. Johnson while
occupying the War efiee nd interim
and we affrsa that the Radical party
have No assurance, should shes be
Successful In electing Grant, that he
will MOI besray the Radical party,
rs they claim Mfr. Johnson, for
shoa they 50 feryensiy thanked
God,n has done.
/ Colfax is . man of more words
than brains, whose claims uE'&a Ills
party for the position, are based
principally upon tbs dirty work he
has done for them In the position of
Speaker Of the Rump House.

Besicged by -apa,s2iad cats,

II is said an entsrprising Yankee, hav-
ing bought IN island in the Ohio River,
has stocked the same with black cats, In,
tending to go into the fur trade. This
reminds us of a similar experiment, which
was made many years ago. by a gentle
man who resided in Maryland. The idea
struck him that The fur trade was so Ia
crative it would be much better to raise
animals nearer home than the regions
of the North, and accordingly purchased
an island in the Chesapeake Bay, stock
ing it with the blacklist of black cats.
He paid extravagant prices for felines, and
all The boys in the adjacent country went
extensively into tho business of en.rapping
unsuspect;ng Tommies and Tabbies, which
were Immediately disposed of and sent to
the aforesaid island.
The gentleman found the cats were
prolific, and was soon compelled to en-
ploy two men to live on the island and
fish with seine, in order to supply them
with food. At first, the fishermen had
quite an easy time, and readily supplied
fish in abundance for their charges but
the number daily increased, until whole
legions of black cats trooped over the is
land home, devouring everything in the
shape of food, and the men found It i'm
possible to furnish the requisite amount
of nourishment. At last it was determin~
ed that one Of the men should take2a 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 lis life, locked himself up III
his cabin and prepared for a siege.
The enemy, emJoldened by this dis
play of fear, and urged on by hnnger,
surrounded the house. climbed I'D tie

which disclosed g discrimination on part
of the besieging force TO effect 4 surprise,
he closed that opening also, and EIicaw-
ber-lihe, waited FOR something TO turn
up" For two days and nights he was
= kept in this Singular prison, with the
dre&dfal howls of furnishing cats ever re-
sounding in his ears, and with savage
eyes glaring At him continually.
at length party arrived with guns
and succeeded in suecoring the man from
MS truly awful position, but SO numerous
were tho cats, 50 AerCe their aspect and
threatening their demeanor, that both the
rescueTs and the rescued were only too
glad 10 leave this Pandemonium of jet
black cats, gaunt and ferocious as they
weRs from starvation. The animals, we
believe, all perished, and thus ended one
Of the most extensive cat-rearing ventures
Gver recorded. The individual who has
started cat plantation on The island in
the Ohio River may have the benefit Of
the experience related above, free Of cost.
