ieyed as such by many of che sceptcs and doubling
Thomases in the world On the other hand, there
many things which every one is bound to believe,
they well authenticated by the sworn testimony
of Thousands of respectable individuals well as by
official reports the daily experience of nearly every
man and the country In this latter class
are bound Justice place the fact that the Singer
Misunderstanding Company sold, during the year 1870.
e33 machines being 625 more than were sold by
any other Company during the same year Another
fact is that there are now in daily use o. THESE

SPARED By THE REDs.-It il a remark
able fact that the friends of the Commune,
who sacked churches and converts, and
murdered priests and NUNS, respected, nay,
treated with kindness tho Little Sisters of
tho Poor. Not one of the Ave houses Of the
Order in Paris, was disturbed; the Little
Sisters continued their daily rounds in
quest of food for their old people, and, in
some cases, the barricades, which stopped
circulation, were actually removed to al
low their little cart to pass. 1t is true that
many of the misled wretches who rallied
under the red flag had relatives In these
houses and steadily opposed all attempts
at persecution. He who would have dared
raise q hand against the Little Sisters
would have been mobbed by the poor peo-
pie. God extended his signal protection
over these, his favored children, to teach
us the divine power of Charity, which still
retains its hold over the most hardened
hearts.

In Ararat township, in Pennsylvania, q
portion Of railroad track recently sunk
into the earth, and disappeared from sight.
underneath the railroad for q considerable
distance was q subterranean pond, covered
with crust of black earth six feet in thick
ness. This crust supports a heavy growth
of wood. The pond is said to contain
many fish, pickerel among others, but all
without eyes. In the same township il an
other pond about twenty acres In extent,
upon which similar crust is accommodating.
A large part Of this pond has been covered
within the past twenty years, and the pro-
cess ,ieJ still going on. For some distance
from the shore it 10 filled with q dense
growth of water lilies, and these it is sup

FIGHT BETWEEN A CAT ASD SNAKE.
A few days ago o gentleman who 10 en-
gagged in farming near Murfreesboro, Tenn,
was walking through field near where his
hands were blowing, when he discovered a
cat at come distance coming toward him.
Presently the cat turned aside, and, squat
ting very low, appeared to creep steadily
along rs though in search of game. He
quickened his steps to see if he could dis
cover what was up. He soon saw o snake
about foot and half long, and, as the
cat approached, the snake coiled and put
himself In striking position. The cat in
stantly walked directly mp to the snake,
and held out one foot near his snakeship's
head, as if daring him TO strike. Master
snake being full Of spunl<, was not the chap
to take dare; consequently he responded
with his full strength, but when his head
should have been in direct contact with the
cats paw, the paw, like the darkey's fee,
wasn't there and before the head could
be withdrawn, it received heavy blow
from the cats foot, and the paw was again
presented, with similar results. About
four rounds of this sort occurred, when the
snake seemed to remember that he that
fights and runs away may live to fight an
other day." and with this understanding he
uncoiled and started to quit the field. His
snakeship had no sooner commenced his
retreat than pussy pounced upon him and
bit him entirely through the body i'll three
or four places, each of which was fatal
bite. After this the cat appeared to be
satisfied, and quietly withdrew.
