beats running On the YOrOmdc was aston
ished one day lately, as his boat touched the
landing at one of the riverside watering
places not a great distance from Washington,
to ace all the guests assembled with their
baggage ready to take passage for the city.
In making inquiries as to the cause of this
general exodus, he soon discovered that
thereby hung a tale. A cats. 1t appears
the fare at the hotel had disagreed with the
bearders, and not satisfied with complaining.
they took French leave. A batch of dough
had been prepared for the oven and placed
on table. A playful kitten thought it would
be nice to run over it. 1t looked so snowy,
warm, and tempting. Kitty tried it and soon
found her delicate little feet sinking in the
dough. She struggled to escape, and like
Novernor Morton in the stolen treaty busI-
ness, only struggled to sink deeper, until
this youthful cat disappeared entirely. and

She never rose again, but the bread did. 1t
closed over this unhappy specimen, not leav-
ing hair apparent. Cooky Of course was
not aware that instead Of loaf of bread she
had kitten dumping, and put the mass
into the oven and baked it. When the bread
was opened at breakfast next morning the
birds did not begin to sing but the boarders
did. They fairly howled with wrath. They
knew that there had been a family of kittens,
and rs harsh had been served for breakfast
before this extraordinary loaf was opened.
the conclusion was natural that the other
part Of the family had gone into the hash and
down their throats. They were first saken
with sca-sickness, next with inconsistencies,
and then ensued general packing up. The
fashionable summer resort was left with no
inhabitants but the cook and the bar-keeper
and what remained of the family Of kittens
An unusually interesting breach of promise
case is now in progress in San Francisco. A
young lady, graduate Of the Treasury De
rartment, complains that monster in human
form and of Mexican birth seduced her under
promise Of marriage. She thereupon lived
with him for several years, during which
time he continued the fiendish work OF allur-
ing her from the path or innocence in which
she walked while Treasury clerk. The
young Lady, having at last decided that his
conduct was wholly reprehensible, has in
stituted an action against him, laying the
damages at the modest sum of 5000, 200. For
q single seduction such sum would be a
poor compensation, but for series of|sednc-
tons, extending through series of years,
5000, 900 Is q ridicnlously low estimate. 1t re-
mains to be seen by the results Of the trial
what estimate California jury will place
upon the rnined virtue Of the long-sufering
girl. 1.-THE jury In the above action gave a
verdict for 81, 500 II 4,ssI N
THE Cincinnati Enquirer says: son We'd
nestlay afternoon, two Sisters of Charity, who
had beenrin charge of the one hundred or
phans which arrived from Chicago in the
morning, accompanied by two prominent
citizens, called upon Mayor Davis, to obtain
passes tor the Sisters TO return 70 the CITY or
Chicago. The Mayor hesitated for consid-
cradle time in granting their request but,
being urged by the gentlemen accompanying
the Sisters. he finally concluded 70 issue
passes for their return. But to show the
spirit animating our worthy Mayor, it is only
necessary to give the reading of the pass, as
follows: sisass these two Catholics to CHI
cago.' Being thus insulted, the Sisters and
their escorts retired. The pass was shown
at the Archhishop's residence, when the
aforesaid document was placed in an ervei-
ope and politely returned to Mayor Davis.
