NANQUTsHED BIT A CAT.-Mr. Stebbius Peer
the funambulist or rOpe-walker, who has
cable stretched across the Niagara river, lust
belew the new suspension bridge, and gives eN-
hibitlons OF his skill in rope walking, came near
meeting with an accident the other'day, which
but for his agility, would have ended his career
as Tepe walker. He conceived the brilliant
idea OF taking a cat on the rope, and starting
10 on ahead OF him, in order TO have two senss-
ti0ns at the same time. When about 30 feet
from the shore be set the cat on the rope, ex-
pecting OF course, that the feline would show
how the thing Was done as well as he could SC
II himself. But the cat was not at all anxious
for funambulism, and instead Of making bee
line across, turned upon Peer, climbed upon
upon him, and fastened his teeth in his shoulder.
In bis efforts to disengsge the cat his missed
Ills footing. and had TO drop his balance pole
which fell on the rocks below, and was broken
Peer himself scrambled along the irOpe back TO
the shore the best way he could. He succeeded
IN reaching terra firma, but the exhibition of
the day was brought TO close, as a funambul-
Isl without balance pole is of little account
The pole was subsequently recovered and
sPhced. Peer will walk again, but will not be
likely to take any cats alOng.-KiHgSt0H (CIB.)

HOW THE PITTsBURG BANK OF INDVsTRY
WAS RELIEVED OF S2,2j0-A very remarks able
larceny was perpetrated last Thursday noon At
the Bank OF Industry, 5th avenue. opposite St
Paul's Cathedral, PittsbUrg. The cashier, Mr.
Nj. Hanrshan, was behind the counter. and the
teller, Mr.. William Ross, had gone to dinner.
Presently stranger entered and engaged Mr.
HSnTahsn in conversation about making a
deposit. After the two had talked some three
minutes, MIR. Hsnrahan, who had his hat on
walked into the back room, laid his hat on the
table, and Immediately returned. When be got
back TO the window he found that the man WAS
gone. lie soon after made the discovery IN al
some OF the piles Of bank notes were missing
DE was alone, but As soon as possible despatched
a messenger to the mayors office. The first
calculation which MIR. H8nrahRn made led him
TO believe that GOO had been lifted :" aud he
so stated. Subsequently,, in overhauling the
days business more carefully, aided by a teller
1t was found that only - 80 had been stolen in
packages OF $500, SlGO, and $50. The singular
feature of this case is that the stranger could
have got hold of the money at all. The cashier
had only eight or ten steps to take in order to
reach the directors room, and through the door
leading thereto he would have had 70 walk back
10 tie end of the counter, pass behind il through
the door. advance 20 the money table, picked N
the packages, retrace his steps TO the door ia
the counter and then go forward to the front
door before he could get out OF the cashiers
sight.

MURDER BY PUSHING MAN INTO WRII-
The Meridian Miss Gazette save: yesterday
evening, about / O'Clock, white man named
Joe Showers came 20 his death by being pushed
or showed into a well by a negro woman named
Belle Thompson. IL seems that the deceased
was under the influence or liquor, and was
abusing the woman-in fact, he had knocked
her down once or twice, when she pushed him
backward into the well. He was, We believe, a
comparative stranger in this city, having been
here but a few months, and was employed as q
Waterman in the Alabama and Charleston
shops.1
