A Child Strangled by u Cat.
From the Middletown On. " Mercur,

From the Middletown (N.Y.) Mercury.]
A strange occurrence took place a
few mornings since in the family of
Mr.. Silas Doloway. engineer in Bah
cock, Fuller Il Co.'S new hat factory,
who occupies j. w. Canfeld's house
on Mulberry street, in this village.
Mrs. Doloway is accustomed to leave
her oabe, little girl four months old,
on the bed up stairs, while she does
her mornings work in the basement,
from where she could easily hear the
least noise. On the morning in ques-
ton, she heard the little one Growing
as usual, but finally noticed that the
sounds ceased, and shortly after heard
strange gurgling noise. Supposing
that the child had got its head under
the bed-clothes and was suffocating,
she ran up stairs to see about it, and
found the house cat with its nose in
the child's mouth. The child was
strangled black, and was fighting fee
bly, with its hands. She caught the
child and shook it several times, when
it caught its breath and came out all
right. In few minutes more it would
probably have been straugled to death.
Mrs. Doloway had to pull the cat of
the child, so eager was it to remain
1t had a paw on either side of the
child's head, and had its nose pressed
deeply into the child's mouth. The
cat was instantly killed.

The Washington correspondent of
The Republic gives the following re-
port of recent dialogue between a
Southern man and United States
Senator:
But what" said the Republican
Senator, do your people intend to do,
it they ever come into possession Of
the national administration, as you
say they will? What would be their
policy?'
II will tell you what their policy
will be. We are going to do four
things:
First We shall repudiate the
Federal debt; we are not going to help
pay for heating the ramrod that has
burnt our backs.
Second. We are going to make
the North pay for cotton to the
amount of 5000, O,OOO,O 900, which was
taken from the South at the close oil
the war.
Third. We are going to tax the
North to pay Tor the refunding of the
| three per. cent. cotton tax.
Fourth. We are going to levy q
poll tax of from $25 to $50 on ever,
niger in the South, and we are goinl
to make the niggers pay this as a par
tial compensation to the South fol
emancipation. The niggers don't un
derstand what it is to be free, ant
don't deserve their freedom"
Not all Southern men are fool
enough to entertain such sentiments
| but a great many do.

Harvest is over, and reapers and
mowers should be put under cover.
They are rather costly affairs to be left
out in the weather, as we frequently
see them. Sun and rain will soon
rust and shrink and warp them into
comparatively worthless affairs. Rust
not only destroys, but it causes un.
necessary friction, and hence requires
greater rover to move the machine.
Clean all parts of the mental work ef-
fectually and grease them with tallow.
Shellac varnish is q good protection
against rust. Clean off nuts and
screws and varnish them thoroughly
before replacing them. This will pre-
vent future troubles if bolt or nut
needs removing. Nearly every one
has had some experience with rusted
screws, nuts and bolts. A little
grease now may save hours of time
hereafter, besides world of vexation.
Plows, hoes, rakes, scythes, and all
other tools should be put away in
good order, and where you can put
your hand on them when you want
them. We know men who lose

There would seem to be an incurable
variance between the life which men
covet for themselves and that which
they admire in others; nay, between
the lot which they would choose be-
forehand, and that in which they
glory afterward. The aim which God
assigns to US as our highest is. indeed.
the direct reverse Of that which We
propose to ourselves He would have
us in perpetual conflict; we crave an
unbroken peace. He keeps us ever
on the march; We pace the green sod
by the way with many sigh for rest
he throws US ON rugged universe,
and our first care is to make it smooth.
His resolve is to demand from us,
without ceasing, a living power-a
force fresh from the spirit lie has
given; ours, to get into such settled
ways that life may almost 60 of itself,
with scarce the trouble Of winding up.
Every way He urges our reluctant
will. He grows the thistle and the
sedge, but expeetsHs to raise the olive
and the corn, having given us por-
tion of strength and skill for such an
end. He leaves in each man y lot q
thicket Of sharp temptations, and ex-
rects him, though with bleeding feet,
to pass firmly through, having given
him courage, conscience and guide d.
vine to sustain him, lest he faint.
And, after all, in spite of the inertia
of their wills, men are, in their inmost
hearts, on the side of God, rather
than their own. in this matter.-Mar.

Over fifty years ago, youth, work
ing on farm, asked his father to give
him money enough to buy gun. The
old man could not spare it; but
the boy, nothing daunted, found an
old piece Of iron about the place. and
in the course of time coatrived to
make gunbarrel out of it. with the
very meager facilities afforded by
country blacksmith's shop. He had
not the materials to make the lock
and stock. SO he walked to the nearest
town and traded for the necessary at
tachment, and was encouraged by the
smith for having made so good
shooter. This gave him the ambition
to make another; SO he went to cut.
ting out grindst0nes from the native
rock to raise the money for gun mate
rials, and in short time there was a
considerable demand for guns of his
make. During the French war with
Prussia he was called upon to furnish
guns for the army, and in less than
eight months he made and delivered
to the government of France rifles of
peculiar pattern, costing $5,O0.OO0,
which amount was duly paid. The
same man furnishes rifles now for the
United States, South America. Rome,
Spain, Egypt and Japan. The farm
er's boy who wanted u gun. is Elipha-
let Remington, of Ilion, N. Y. His
| manufactory covers iour acres Of
ground, and he employs LOO men.
Not satisfied with this achievement
he has recently completed a sewing
machine, which is reported to repre-
sent the latest and most perfect ad :
vance in the improvements nf this i'm
portant adjunct Of domestic economy.
This is the typeot a boy who, when
there is not way. make way for him
self.

Honest, upright and fearless con.
duct must needs have admirers,
though many people are unable to
perceive actual merits, because they
live and move in misty atmosphere
of prejudice. No young man ought to
be cast down because one or more of
his acquaintaDces are inclined to re-
.iect him and underrate his merits.
The time is sure to come when mod
est worth will meet the reward which
is its due, and when the long -contin-
ued and patent aspirations for ambi-
tion will be qualified. IF a young
man is disliked and neglected by those
from whom he ought to expect the
best of treatment. let him remark
that they are but one, or two, or three
out Of the millions of humanity.
While there is life there is hope; and
those who habitually ill treat others
may be forced to solicit favors from
the hands of those upon whom they
have spent their superciliousness.
