1t is the fashion, we believe, to entertain
strong and unreasonable prejudice against
the domestic cat. Its finest and most
conscientious efforts in the musical line
got only the applause of boo'jack and
bottle, and, in short, generally unkind
and unpleasant feeling exists in regard
to it. Let those who have INDUCED in
this malevolent state of mind read Of this

a bracket in the hall. One night, lately,
when all were asleep, the lamp got out of
order, the wick caught fire and blazed up
against the very ceiling There was, ap-

destruction of the house What did that
good old family cat do? 1t saw all the
danger, jumped upon the pillow of her
master and energetically paved" his
face Of course he awuke, saw the lamp,
saved his house, aud-the cat is not for

Guard the Weak Spots.

All men, however strong, have week
spot, like the rhinoceros, which though
plated like monitor, is vulnerable to a
spearthrust below the plates. Some, in
deed, think they have no weak place
and such people are right, for they are
weak all over, and no part, therefore could
be called weak in particular. The polar
bear has weakness, which is for blubber,
and his hunters knowing this, coil piece
of whalebone like watchspring, wrap it
in bulbber and freeze it. They then drop
the tempting morsel in the way of bear,
who swallows it greedily; bat as the blub
Der melts in his stomach, the whalebone
springs out. The bear then rolls over
in agony and they come up and kill him.
Thus it is when men yield to any easily
besetting sin it will cut them asunder.

England has, it is hoped, got through
with her growing about the SIS 5000 900
Geneva Award, now that her government
has taken measures to meet the payment
of the claim within the time stipulated
by the Treaty of Washington. Even
England, stubborn 10 all things, has scar
cely ever been known to yield SO ungra-
ciously to the inevitable as she does 10
the Geneva business No nation likes to
be beaten in diplomacy any more than in
war, and we can all readily imagine how
the American eagle would have scream
ed with anger and Indignation if the
Geneva arbitration had resulted in the
decision that the United States were en-
titled TO no damages on account of the
Alabama claims. England was beaten in
that arbitration and is angry about it !;
had the United States been beaten then
Americans would have been mad while
England would have been in just as good
a humor about it, as the Americans are
to day.

POMEROY ON WHAT THE NORTHERN MAN
HAS DONE FOR TEXAS.

While speaking in Texas, recently, "Brick !"
Pomeroy was asked, "What has the, Northern
man done for Texas?" which piece of imperti-
nence "Brick" took in high dudgeon, and re-
piled in this emphatic, but somewhat partial
fashion: "Taken the weeds out Of your fence
corners, raised vegetables, planted fruit trees,
built your largest and best houses, imported
your finest breeds of horses and cattle, erected
nearly every machine shop, foundry and mill
you have among you. They have minded their
own business, >and have not disturbed large
audience by asking foolish questions. They
have striven by honest industry to keep out OF
the Sherf's hands, and thirty feet ahead of the
tax collector" If they have not done more
and less than these things; if they have not
overturned the State governments of the South
ern States, and uprooted social order; if they
have not plundered every State, city and coun-
ty of every dollar which could be got hold OF
by hook or crook. and q great deal of it by
hook; aud if they have not by dishonest and
selfish legislation piled up debts until the whole
South is on the verge Of bankruptcy; sought
by every foul and uncharitable means to set the
native hites aud negroes of the South at
each others throats; and if they have no:
adopted every species Of infauIy to enrich
themselves by downright robbery and coward
ly persecution of the subjugated people of the
Southern States. Texas, with the rest then
has Brick" Pomeroy been for years the most
unmitigated and uncon nscionable liar and SIAN
derer in all the world But it is not true that
Northern men have imported the best horses
of the South, or built their best houses. Ken.
tuck, has long been famous for the superiority
of her horses; and such a thing as "balloOn'
house was never seen in the South until intro
duced there by Northern men after the war.
Neither was any Southern man ever guilty OF
the fraud of finishing n house of finely, even
elegantly in front. while all the rest was left
entirely without finish. and probably built OF
unhewn logs Yet this deception is practiced
so extensively all over the North that to tell
whether a house is really what the front view
indicates il 10 be-. one must walk round and ex.
famine il on all sides. But the time Is coming,
Brick" when spouters will be asked ques.
tons. and if they fail to answer. fairly and ful.
Is. they will have to give place to others who
can aud will do so.

REJECTED LOVERS.

There is in in Nashville, Tennessee, what is
known as the Club Of Rejected Lovers, accord.
ing to the Union newspaper OF that place. 1t
seems that the qualifications for membership
of the club are simply what the name OF the
institution purports-the fact Of having been
rejected or discarded by young lady, together
with q fair average social standing ana per-
sonal repute. This, as will readily occur to
the dullest perception. makes the entree OF the
club accessible to any poor but honest young
man, but seems to bar out inexorably the rich
and the cheeky" There is not particle OF
doubt that this club is organized upon basis
that will speedily make it the most select affair
of it's kind in the world, as far as sturdy man.
hood and bonhon,ie are concerned; for no man
knows how good fellow he really is, or how
much clear nerve and hard sense he possesses,
until he has been called upon to face the dread
ordeal of having his girl "go back on him"
This selectness will be infinitely enhanced BY
another rule or bylaw of the club, which pro-
vides for the instant and ign0mini0us expulsion
Of any member who betrays his weakness by
going back to a.young lady after she has dis
carded him once, whether at her instance or
his own. OF course there is nothing that for
bids making love to an infinite number OF new
girls, and each additional rejection affects the
standing of the member precisely as new de-
gree in Masonry elevates the standing OF q
Mason. When q member finally marries he is
put on the retired list, but can be reinstated
in active membership in the event of becom-
ing widOwer.
The bachelors Of Idaho City propose organ
izing society in accordance with the forego-
ing extract; and as there are many young and
middle-aged men in our city who possess the
requisite qualifications for becoming members,
the initiation fee will be placed at figure within
the reach of all in order to insure respecta.
BILE membership at the start. The monthly
dues to be regulated. as in other organizations.
by decree of the society. The regalia will be
bib apron with star for each rejection ex-
perenced by the wearer until there is no room
left for more, when other regulations will have
to be made. Offices and honors will be con-
ferred in the same manner as stars, as follows:
The member who has been rejected the often
est will be President until deposed by some
more fortunate aspirant, and the same rule
will apply to the lower Offices. We anticipate
a first rate time, as the membership will be
large, and notes will be compared at each sue.
cessive meeting for the purpose of conferring
degrees and ascertaining who is entitled to
preside. Females will not, of course, be elli-
gible to membership. as it is impossible to sup
pose a woman-in this country, at least-to be
a rejected lover. The organization will be
known as 1.-The Society of Rejected Lovers"
