Hath a cat nine lives? asks cor
respondent writing from Chicago.
That is the question being earnestly
debated in all quarters. A cat has
actually been recovered, alive and
squalling from The desolate ruins of
the Post-offiee and Custom house
building. | have with these eyes be-
held that feline salamandef. She still
wears her royal yestment of fur, and
retains her lung-power and her appe-
tite, both marvelously improved.
James NJ. Hubbard, ESQ.,, Uncle Sans
mail despatch officer at this point-to
whom, by the way, considerable credit
is due for the rapid reconstruction of
our postal facilities hunting in
the ruin for something he thought
might be preserved.
He distinctly heard familiar melo-
dious voice. He is a judge of music,
and could not be deceived. He
listened. Again arose the muffled
falsetto. ." 1t must be ghostw He
stepped lightly over the crumbling
brickbats and helped some workmen
to excavate the ruins in the corner
whence the sound proceeded. Lo!
There, eight feet under ground, at
the mouth of a sewer pipe, upright in
a pail of water, sat grin1alkin, with a
cold in her head and cinders in her
eyes.
1t seemed, .on examination, that she
had exhibited the presence of mind to
stick her legs in the water and her
head in the sewer, whence she drew
air, and probably also smelt mice and
when the building collapsed a column
fell SO as to shelter her. A million
dollars in gold had melted into bullion
within twenty feet of her. Pussy is
an immense favorite in the Post office,
and has resumed her place us a regular
member Of the staff. How's that for

HARPER's PERIODICALS,
HARPER,s MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demaud the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
Lar understanding, and designed as much to
difuse correct Information concerning cur
rept scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion Of Useful knowledge
. The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect Information aud rational amusement to
the great masses OF people. There are few
Intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
sdly more popular magazine in the verdi
Neao England Homestead.
The most popular i'll its scheme, the most
original of our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Iberyiile Neacs makes some
grave charges against Hon. c. B. Da1-
rail-, member of Congress from this
district, and comes TO a conclusion
that is fully warranted by the truth
of those charges:
Mr.. Dsrrai has never ssecured a
Federal appointment in this district
which has given satisfaction to the
public he has never originated or add
yOeated a measure since he has been
member of Congress which could
inure to the benefit of our citizens !;
he has subsidized into a ncnenitys, and
the only evidence that he is q national
law-maker appears, in the roll call.
Therefore his constituency demand
that he make way for h successor who
can fittipgly represent the intelligence
and honor of our people.

SMALL.-A wealthy man in Indian
apolis, Ind, named w. G.. English,
said to be worth at least one million
dollars, opened his heart and sub
scribed one dollar in cash for the suf-
ferers by the great fire in Chicago.
Fearing that the donor had seriously
eramped his financial operations, and
that he might be suffering in mind by
the gushing sentimentality which
prompted such munifcence, certain
people of Sacramento, where he once
lived and was well known, concluded
to imburse him. The Bee says that
ninety-nine good and responsible citi-
zens, on Thursday, raised ninety-nine
one hundredths of the sum and for
warded it to him by telegraph, and
promised that they would take up
another subscription for the balance
If so desired, as they would not stand
idly by and see any brave man put to
such strain as long as they could
help him. His answer has not yet
been received.

AS some Of our citizens think the
post office is not kept open long
enough on Sundays, We cali general
attention to the following postal regu-
lation, page -, section n, act of 1866 !:
The postmaster viii keep his office
open fol the despatch of business
every day except Sunday, during the
usual hours Of business in the place.
When the mail arrives on Sunday he
will keep his Office open for one hour
or more, if the public convenience re-
quire it, after the arrival and assort-
inent thereof, unless it be during the
time of public worship /; in which case
he will keep the Office open for one
hour or more, if necessary, after the
religions services have ceased.
Again has our District Judge, Hon.
r.. Beauvais, failed to be in attend
.ance at the time designated by law
for the opening of the regular term
of the District Court tor this parish,
but sent orders to the Sheriff to add
journ the court to the third Monday of
December This has occasioned con-
siderable Inconvenience to persons
having business with the court, as well
as causing the parish deal of need
less expense. Judge Beauvais should
allow only very grave and, important
circumstances indeed to interfere with
the discharge of public duties he is
paid five thousand dollars q year to
perform.
