SNAKE stories; tales of the old

of the rich girl who works in
a factory, Of the veteran Of the
Revolution who loves to saw q
cord of wood a day, and OF Wash
ington's body servant still extant
in the aesh-are expected to turn
up. in various forms, once or
twice a year. Tales OF happy
family regulations among the
brute and the fowl, may also be
considered as legitimate. The 10.
test variation upon that theme
comes from Troy:
"a gentleman has a cat, which
recently became the mother ofone
kitten; also setting hen, which
hatched one egg before the others.
The chick had to be removed from
the Matching eggs, but the query
was where to put Il. Finally, the
gentleman placed the chicken
with the kitten, in the charge of
the cat The cat adopted the
little waif, and the latter reCipro.
Gated. The kitten and the chicken
are inseparable; and when
chickey attempts to wander away,
the cat quietly paws It back and
invites Il to nestle With the kitten
at Is breast"

Gen. de Goicouria, who met
with so tragic death at Havana
on Saturday morning last, was
well known in this community.
He had resided here many years,
doing business as q general com.
mission merchant and steamship
agent, or part owner. At the out
break Of the war he was engaged
in business in New York, but soon
after the occupation of this city
by the federal forces he returned.
New York, however, continued to
be his home, and It was in that
city he embarked in the Cuban
cause. We believe he was one Of
the Junta.
Cuban independence was no
dream ofyesterday with the Cen
eral. He was concerned in the
Lopez affair, as one Of it's organ
lzers here. There was at the time
some distrust among the other
chiefs of his lealtytO the cause,and,
singular to say, like distrust |
was felt and openly expressed |
In New York for some time be. |
fore he left on his fatal expedition. |
But he has sealed his devotion |
with his life. The deceased was,
we believe, a native Spaniard, and |
had served in the army during the
Carlist war. He was an old man
10 suffer death by the garrote,
even had he justly forfeited his
ife, which we do not believe. The
Spaniards have gained nothing by
lis death.-TN. o. Picayune.
