An Awful Cat Catastrophe.

Mr.. Snyder, of Washington enjoyed
a genuine surprise the other might
The roof of his house, for some rea-
son, had become a fayorite resort for
all the cats in his neighborhood and
they used TO congregate out there at
nights by thousands, and yowl and
screech, and practice their gymnastic
exercises, until Snyder and his wife
and his mother-in-law would go al
most crazy. Last week some snow
remained on the roof and Snyder un-
dertook to wash it off by sluicing
three or four tubsful of hot water ON
the shingles. The consequence was
that in an hour the entire roof was as
slippery as anything in the world can
be-. That night, while Snyder was
sitting at his bedroom window, gazing
out into the moonlight, he saw cat
suddenly dash downward through the
air with paw stretched toward, each
point of the compass, its fur elevated,
and its lungs emitting. a terrific yell.
In o minute down came another. Then
a third suddenly went sousing past,
aud before it reached the ground q
fourth went peitiug down, ,oand then
fifth, doubledInp, and clawing at the
ether and the moonlig ht for q bold
and so on, until about one hundred
and fifty had descended. Then Sny-
der thought it was about time to in
vestigate the phenomenon. He as
cended to the garret and looked out
through the trap door. There he saw
q procession of six or seven hundred
cats, reaching, in single file, from the
yard up over the shed aud the back
building to the crown of the roof OF
the house. They were all moving;
and as the cat at the head of the pro-
cession reached the peak. OF the roof
it would hook around for minute
and wonder where its. predecessors
had gone. Then its feet would slip.
1t would clutch and claw, and grab at
the ice; but still it, would go sailing
down, with increasing speed until it
reached the edge, when it would shy
out into space and dash of towards
the pavement. Itwas right interest
ing TO Snyder to observe the process.
He never before realized the beauty OF
the law of nature which attracts
bodies to the earth. Those cats never
climbed h;sroof again. Eighty-four
died on the spot, and tits believed
that 400 of them broke their legs and
the nocturnal serenading
business permanently.-Nd lAdeler

\
Mr.. President, / wish TO cali atten-
ton to the effect this bin viii have.
Its effect, as sail, will lsfiEstl be, if
passed. TO, cause all the greenbacks to
be retired for every dollar of them
will 90 into these bonds. The banks
then, mast do what 79l The banks then
must redeem their notes in coin or
forfeit their charters !; that is inevita-
bic or Congress must undo what it
has been doing. How much currency
can you have when the banks are COM
pelIed to redeem their notes in coin
How much currency will the country
have them These greenbacks' will
be retired. Howsmuch currency can
the banks keep ont on aspecie-paying
basis !? There is . question for you.
If 1t shalt turn out that they cannot
Keep oat asimuch as the present cir
culatiop, that they cannot keep out
seven hundred and odd millions, then
you have at once, within seven or
eight months, or q year from this
time, or at the. most within feighteen
moBths OF this time, producedla great
reduction in the currency of the
country. ,..s.-.-
What would be the effect Of that
The effect OF it0weuld, be that. every
man who, owes a debt will find it
harder to, pay, it, and the effect of the
bill will be to favor the creditor class
of community. and makeiit more diff
,fcult tor people, to pay their lebts.-
Now the Indebtedness Of the country
is tremendous There never, was
! tlme in the history of this country
when the Individual and corporate in
debtedness of the country was increas-
| ing as fast as it is now. If you re-
snfne as speedily as this bill proposes
what viii be the state of affairs, if,
within a few months after this bill
became q law--say within six months,
and that would be long time tor bus
| mess men to act inAfhe whole Of this
/ $3500O0, 600 IN gfeenbacks should be
4 funded in five per- cent. honda, then
where would your banks be? Every
one of them deprived of medium
which they now may pay .OutAin re-
ldenlption OF their notes. and every
one of. them bound to redeem their
notes in specie or forfeit their char
ters. 10 7o'!'esi4 7e9-s '=htHlVm
Ii seems to me. in any way in which
| this bill can be looked at. it must nec-
essarlly disturb the business relations
| of the country, and that in a serious
way, But 1 do not wish to say any
thing further upon the general merits
of the bill. do insist, however, that
it is not our duty TO convert 1856, ,000,-
! 900 of greenbacks into interest bear
| ing bonds and then use the greenbacks
right away again, In the name of
sense, of what use is that except to
give the present holders of the green
| backs right to procure q five per
cent bond Tor them, aud thus to draw
$4,000, 600 annually out OF the Treas
ury? ,{aa Ha ag3W susislud 1s
