A Mighty Hunter Among the Cats.

A certain lady was recently very sick,
and, owing to the nature of the disease
(acute dyspepsia), she could eat no kind
of meat except wild meat. Her brother
engaged a certain boy to keep her sup.
piled with squirrels; but as advancing
civilization has almost driven that spe-
cies of rodentia from our midst, and
the boy not being an expert at the bust
ness, the supply became exhausted.
This necessitated an extra exertion on
the part Of the family to procure fresh
supply of wild meat, and while they
were devisng ways and means for that
purpose, q domestic cat belonging to the
family brought in a nice young rabbit,
and, with an air Of great satisfaction,
laid it by the bed of the sick lady. This
was repeated by the cat several times
afterward during the lady's illness, but
never except when the supply OF wild
meat on hand was exhausted. 1t never
did the like before, and ceased to do so
as soon as the lady recovered.
These facts are vouched for by all the
members Of the family, which is as
reputable and respectable as any family
in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Lebanon (HV.) Standard.

OF Gun Of Coffee.

1t has been truthiully said that even
in these enlightened days, and in the
lands most blessed 10y the influence OF
civilization, there are thousands upon
thousands Of persons born into the
world who live long lives and then 60
down into their graves without ever
having tasted a good cup of coffee.
There are many reasons for this, and
the principal one, OF course, must be
that so few persons know how to make
good coffee. And yet there have been
thousands of recipes and directions
published which teach us how TO make
good coffee by boiling it; by not boiling
it by combining the essence and aroma
by making it in an open vessel; by
sleeping it; by not sleeping it; by clear.
ing it; by not clearing it; by grinding
it fine; by grinding it coarse, and by
many other methods opposed to each
other and to all these. Now we do not
intend to try to tell anybody how to
make good coffee, but we just wish to
say word about the treatment of the
coffee after it is made. And on this
treatment depends its excellence, brew
it as you may. The rule is simple :
never decant IL Whatever else you do
about it, bring it to the table in the YES
sci in which it was made. A handsome
urn or gorgeous coffee pot is the
grave Of good coffee. OF course, if it is
considered more desirable TO have the
pot Look well than 10 have the coffee
taste well, we have nothing more to
say. But when hot coffee is emptied
from one vessel into another, the kitch-
en- ceiling generally receives that
essence-laden vapor which should have
found its way into the cups on the
breakfast table. And one word about
these cups. When the coffee enters
them it should find the milk or the
cream already there. By observing
these rules, ordinary coffee, made in al
most any way, is often very pala.able
indeed.-,Scribaer'S for October.

AbOlishing the Railroad Whistle.

On the road between Worcester and
Boston they have been trying the eX-
pertinent of dong without whistles on
most of the trains. On the 10Th of
August the experiment was begun, and
up TO the present time not one accident
has occurred through the silence Of the
whistle. And this was tried upon a
road where a constant stream of people
were crossing, either on foot or in car
riages. Within seventeen miles OF Bos-
ton it is estimated that the number
crossing the track in carriages was be-
tween 1000 and 5000, while on foot
were as many more. The trains, in
Guiding freight, passing over the road
every twenty four hours were over one
hundred. The plan for safely leaving
off the use OF the whistle was to use the
bell through the day, and the head
light at night, and by its very absence
make flag and gate men and station
agents depend more upon the time for
being at their posts than the signal for
calling them to them. The increased
watchtulness thus required increases
the safety of all those about the stations
or crossings. 1t is not known to what
extent this will be tried, but the result
of four weeks ought certainly 10 be a
good argument in favor of decrease Of
noise, and a corresponding increase Of
vigilance on the part Of the public.

How Mr.. Connors Won His Bet.

The Portchester branch of the New
Haven railroad is to pass the residence
of Mr.. Conklin Burtis, in Mott Haven.
At this point there is a bed of rock
through which the grade requires cut
begun last week under the direction OF
one Connors. Several houses being
near, the work went on slowly, small
blasts only being made. On Saturday
a layer of rock as large as horse car
remained. A vender of patent powder,
said TO be superior to the black because
of the homeopathic quantities required,
went 10 the blaster and asked him to
buy. The vender said that a hole drilled
six inches into the rock and filled with
his powder would displace it. Mr.. Bur-
tbs says that Connors told the vender
that he could blow it with his own pow
der. The vender said he could not,
and Connors wagered him lager beer
for the crowd that he could. He
caused hole ten feet deep to be drilled.
Then he crammed, so Mr.. Burtls said,
three kegs and three quarters OF pow
' der in to the drilling, and touched it oil.
Mr.. Connors won the bet. The rock
was blown out, good portion of it 60.
ing over to Harlem, and a shower OF
smaller stones fairly making the river
foam. A piece of stone weighing | 800
pounds fell on the roof of Mr.. Burtis'
house and went crashing through into
the front parlor below. 1t smashed
furniture and demolished everything
in its way. Another stone weighing
about 200 pounds crashed through the
roof in another dwelling, and rested on
the third floor. About fifty smaller
stones went through the roof and stop
ped in the garrett. Probably 200 other
stones from the size OF a mans fist TO
that Of water pail flew in all direc
tons about Mr.. Burtis' yard. The roof
OF the back stoop was demolished, the
stone going through the floor OF the
stoop end landing in the basement.
The back stairs were broken down, the
we'll and hen house were riddled.
The old gentleman, his wife, and a
Miss Van Horn were taking tea III the
back basement when the blast occur
red. They were so badly frightened
that they jumped out Of the window and
tainted they have not yet recovered
from their fright. Neither was struck
by the flying missiles. But Mr.. Burtis
had narrow escape. Not half a min
ute before the blast he had been stand
ing under an apple tree, but was called
TO tea. Six stones as large as a mans
head fell where Burtis had stood. Mr.
Burtis estimates his damages at $4,000,
and holds TIE New Haven Railroad
Company responsible.-Ne,0 Haven

Rapidly Of Thought In Dreaming.

A very remarkable circumstance and
an important thought in analogy is,
said DR.. Forbes Winslow, to be found
in the extreme rapidity with which the
mental operations are formed, or rather
with which the material changes, on
which the ideas depend, are excited in
the hemispherical ganglia. 1t would
appear as il a whole series of acts, that
would really occupy long lapse of
time, pass ideally through the mind in
one instant. We have in dreams no
perception of the lapse of time-a
strange property OF mind; for if such
be also its property when entered into
the eternal disembodicd state, time will
appear to us eternity. The relations Of
space, as well IS of time, are also ami.
Inflated; so that while almost an eter-
nifty is compressed into q moment, in
finite space is traversed more swiftly
than by real thought. There are nu-
merous illustrations Of this principle on
record. A gentleman dreamed that he
he had enlisted as soldier, joined his
regiment, deserted, was apprehended,
carried back, tried, condemned TO be
shot, and at last led out for execution.
After the usual preparations, gun was
fired; he then awoke with the report,
and found that noise in the adjoining
room had, at the same moment, pro-
duced the dream and awakened him.
4 friend of Dr. Abercombie dreamed
that he had crossed the Atlantic and
spent fortnight in America. In en-
barking, On his return, he fell into the
sea, and, awakening in the fright, he
found that he had not been asleep ten

st. Bartholomew.

A curious document relating to the
massacre Of st. Bartholomew,!is says La
France, about to be published. 1t is the
journal of German student, J. w. de
Botzheim, who happened to be at Or
leans at the time of the massacre, and
who in simple language and minute pre-.
cision has recorded his recoliections of
the frightful scenes which occurred on
that day. Botzhcim was not only an
actual witness Of the massacre, out he
narrowly escaped death himself on sew.
eral occasions. This record of his ex-
periences, which was lately discovered
in Germany, occupies not fewer than 81
pages. 1t is in Latin certain words
and certain Characteristic phrases are,
however, found here and there recorded
in French. The manuscript discovered
is unfortunately not the original, but a
copy very difficult to decipher, on ac-
count Of its numerous Authorizations.
The Latin is rather ungrammatical, and
the spelling very defective.

The Music.BOX Trade.

The extent to which this business is
carried on in Geneva is matter OF sur
prise to Americans, and the magnifi'
cence of some of the instruments
turned out exceeds anything that most
persons have any idea of. We were
shown an instrument this morning that
played thirty-six tunes, with flutes, bell,
drum, and castanet accomplishments.
The cost of it complete was seven thou
sand francs, or about fourteen hundred
dollars, the purchaser to have the priv.
lege of naming airs to be arranged on
two of the cylinders that were blank.
The instruments ranged in price from
five francs TO seven thousand. The
high. priced ones are in elegant rose
wood cases, but the most of them are
surprisingly low when we consider the
price at which the smaller boxes arc
sold in the United States. There is a
duty, however, of thirty per cent,
which accounts in some measure for the
cost. A box playing eight tunes, with
the accompaniment of bells, castanets,
and drum, can be had for two thousand
and fifty francs, and with the drum ac-
compartment also for four hundred
francs. The price rises with the size
of the cylinder and the finish of the
cases. There are musical chairs, which
play when you sit down upon them /;
musical decanters, which strike up a
merry all, such as The Flowing Bowl"
when you pour anything out of them !;
musical snuff, boxes, musical flower
pots, and musical toys of all descrip-
tons. The twelve hundred dollar in.
strument had volume of sound sufii-

much space in parlor as an ordinary
piano, though it might be taken for an
