abroad say that there is really marked
difference in his manner. The proud
and rather scornful apathy Of bis mien
has become second nature 10 him, II,
indeed, il is not really his first nature,
and il is only by a sort Of effort that he
throws il off; but Il is evident that he
makes point Of trying TO do so at times
He pushes his golden spectacles up over
his hat, aud speaks with good deal OF
subdued gesticulation. II turns out that
he knows little more than smattering
Of French, at least for talking purposes,
and that it is laborious and fatiguing for
him TO try TO speak it, especially as he
understands very little OF the answers
made to him. Now, hewever, that he
has Sir Henry Rawlinson, Sir A. Kem-
ball, aud other good Persian scholars
around him, he is much more at his
ease, and converses with considerable
freedom, with the aid of these gen.
tlemen as interpreters. II appears

very much at the Prince Of Wales din

the Queens indisposition. She was very
much fatigued by her journey from the
Highlands, and is still suffering from de-
preston and weakness. Great curiosity
prevails as to the Shah's horses, which
have not yet been publicly exhibited.
II has been ascertained that they have
long tails, the ends of which are tinged
with vermillion. Although the Shah is
understood to be making quite a martyr
of himself in endeaVoring to be pune
tual to his engagements, his behavior in
this respect still leaves much to be de-
sired. He has been at the best nearly
an hour late on every occasion, and
sometimes much more. His great gold
teapot, in covering Of velvet and gold,
and his pipes, which he carries about
with him almost everywhere, would seem
to be one Of the causes of delay.

When a young man, wearing very
exultant countenance, walks into the
editorial rooms with bundle of manu-
script under his arm, all the staff know
what is coming. He has been writing
an ode to spring, or poem on the fast
disappearing Indian race, or FIVE hup-
dred verses on the power of love. He is
referred to the man in the other room" :"
and the man in the other room heaves a
sigh as he sees him enter. Here's a
few verses on spring time which | dashed
off the other day." says the young man
as he deposits the roll on the table; you
can look them over and l will call for
the money Saturday" He goes out, and
the recipient of the roll unrolls it, feels
his hair raise up as he sees that some
lines have ten "feet," others six, and
that pile driver could not pound the
meter iLto shape. Detroit Free Press.

An Adventure with a wildcat.

From the San Louis 0biejo Cali Tribune
An unusual and very exciting contest
took place at the ranch of Mr.. Ramon
Felix, on the Morrow creek, about four
teen miles from this place, one morning
last week. It seems that Mr.. Felix in
the morning went out to feed his stock,
and soon after was startled by the cries
of his wife and family. Running to the
house, he found that large wildcat had
seized his youngest child, an infant, by
the back OF the neck, and was making
off with it. After a severe struggle, he
succeeded in rescuing it, the cat making
its escape. Some time after the excite
ment had subsidized, an Indian boy, about
eighteen years old went out to bring in
some horses that had been staked out
over night some distance from the
house. He had been gone but few
minutes when the family was again
aroused by the cries of the boy, who
came rushing toward the house yelling
like madman, with the identical cat
that had caused his first disturbance
firmly seated upon his back, with its
teeth imbeded in the back of his neck
Another desperate battle ensued, which
resulted in favor of the cat, which sue
cessfully defeated the whole Felix fami-
ly, killed their two dogs, and retreated
in good order to the house of Mr.. E. M.
Howe, under which he ensconced him
self, defying all efforts to dislodge him
until night when he escaped unscathed.
The wounds received by the Indian boy
we're quite severe and the people, fear
ing that the cat was mad, thought best
to scarify the wounds, which they did
by heating crowbar, the only imple-
ment about the premises that would
answer the purpose. Considering the
ordeal of scratching, biting and SINCE
ing the boy passed through, he is doing
remarkably well, and will be all right
again in few weeks

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 1873.
My DEAR SIR: / telegraphed you last
night with reference to the reported ac-'
ton of the Congressional caucus Of Demo
Gratis here.
1t is not true that the caucus took any
action with reference to the back-pay ques-
ton. That subject did not go before the
caucus in any way. After the caucus had
gotten well under way with its business,
Mr.. Holman came in and insisted on pre-
senting a resolution on the back-pay ques-
ton. and demanded its immediate consid-
teration. Mr.. Niblack, in the chair, ruled
that until the pending propositions were
disposed OF it was not in order. HOLMAN
took an appeal, and had but one vote in
his favor. On this he retired from the
caucus andawas followed by Mr.. Cox, there
fore the question did not come up. Had 1t
done so large majority would have voted
for it. As to myself, | did not vote fol-
E the back pay bill in the last Congress, be.

it.
