ladies that have their beaux and admirers
among those that feather the oar, can antici-
pate pleasant time for next Wednesday at
ternoon. On that occasion there viii be an in
teresting, II not exciting, contest on the Po-
tomac between Mr.. Ryland Ruff and Mr.. Ed
ward Maunder. Mr.. Ruff will use his shell
Daisy, built by Claspar, of London, while
Maunder will row the Racket, built expressly
for him by Elliott, of New York. The course
will be from Analostan boat-house down the
river mile and a half and return; the stakes

succeeded in reducing his ayoirdupois consid-
erably. He is confident of victory, while
Maunder says nothing, but win show them on
Wednesday how he can pull. The race 70
come off at 5 p. m. sharp. As both of these
gentlemen can now balance their shells WITH

Tabby, cat of West End, has been the
pride of the house of Boyle for the past six
years. She is grizzly gray creature, of large
proportions, heavy tail and q curve to her back
like full-blown rainbow. No dog in the
neighborhood has been able to make her ae-
quaintance. Three have tried TO do II, but
were buried the same day. She'd catch more
mice and rats and sieh than forty cats could
eat. All the rats packed up and left the second
week after she took up her residence with the
Boyles, with the exception of about seventy
five, which had merged into Tabby and become
q part and parcel of herself Tabby had never
known q day of sickness since she left her
mothers house, which was situated under
meath Mr.. Parker's barn, until two or three
days ago, when she began to whine around and
act like a schoolboy with the ssomach-ache.
She wouldn't eat anything, much less say any
thing. She would set around in the back yard
all day long and purr and ruffle her back hair
at the approach Of anybody and act like very
foolish fool. All this while Mrs. Boyle sus.
pected that something was wrong with the
cats mind. She anticipated q very mad cat
before long, and she got it, but rather unex-
pectedly. She went into the back parlor on
Saturday morning to lie down On the sofa for
short nap. .-,a.
She had scarcely got comfortably positioned
when Tabby shot from under the lounge and
galloped across the room, with hair bristling
on end, and brought up against the panel of the
door with yell and crash. Mrs. Boyle's fears
had been realized. She knew they had It
took her about two seconds to assume perpen-
diculsr and scream Sire" and " Help" The
cat in the meantime had recovered from the
first shock, and was waltzing about the room
frothing at the mouth, with her tail curled
over her back, and her spinal column bending
forty ways from Sunday. Mrs. Boyle was still
yelling and urging the cat to the opposite side
of the room, when the servant opened the door
and rushed in with the poker. Scit-scat-
whiz-bang-crash went the poker, and away
went the cat down through the hall, out doors,
around the house and disappeared through the
coal-hole into the cellar. AT last accounts Boyle
had closed up the coal-hole and was standing
on the top step of the cellar way with two
seven shooters and fish pole trying to get the
creature to come out. He swears by ali things
substantial that he viii shoot her on the spot,

MOUNT VERNON.

Gay" the Washington correspondent OF
the Courier-Jour1sal, writes as follows: 1.-Two
years ago the regents of the Mount Vernon
Association made an entire change in the
management of the farm and house. Miss
Cunningham was honorably retired and an ex-
army officer placed in charge. Under his man.
agement the place looks entirely different, be.
sides the revenue he raises for the association
from the products. Mr.. Corcoran imported
from Europe splendid and rare collection Of
evergreens, which he presented three years age
to the association. These trees are all thriy.
ing and are fine ornaments to the lawn In front
of the house. There have been many add.
tons made to the furniture and relics. The
ladies would like to furnish each room, as
nearly as possible, like what it was during
Wsshington's lifetime. Many articles that
once belonged to him or Mrs. Washington are
now in the possession of her descendants, who
live in this city, Georgetown and Alexandra
OF course, they are unwilling to part with them,
but it would seem the proper thing for Con-
gress to pass an act for the removal from the
Patent Office to Mount Vernon of the articles
taken from Arlington after General and Mrs
Lee left their home.o
