A CAT.ASTROPmE.

II there be one thing which, to us. is
more annoying than anything else. II
is to be deprived Of our regular sleep.
to go to bed tired out with the labors
Of the day, and when about to peace
fully sink into the arms of Morpheus
to he tortured by the ex~cruciatipu
caterwaulings Of your neighbours net
cat. We arc in a dilemma, always bav-
ing an exalted opinion of law and good
order. We would net for a moment
think of premcditating willful murder.
but those cats have got to stop their
nightly serenade, or we will not be ac-
countable for what damage may be
done. As usual, night before last we
sought our couch to seek repose,
Hardly had we been snugly ensconced
in u little bed before the feline over
ture began. 1t must have been quar-
terly conference among the the reli-
giOus cats. Nine of them were percletl
on our window-sill, and AS many y
occupied fenccs and housetOps in
close proximity. Cats of the Mary
Ann and Thomas Jefferson persua-
sion; cats of all sizes, %colors,
anu NoNNi NDiiitiCS NeTc tncrc, all OF
them quarreling and fighting over a
nice little white pussy, cur nCiyhbor's
let, whom they called Mcrr-iah. 1t
appeared to be the bone of content ion
among its companions, who were striv-
ing to captivate it by their love ditties,
or some other mysterious principle in
catology, and setting Il bad example to
more sedate eats who are not addicted
To the pernacious habit of niyht-roam-
ing. Intending to use mild measures,
WE gathered up sundry boots, brushes
and bottles to hurl at our tormentOrs,
but it had no effect; perhaps we were a
little hasty in d~ischarging the contents
of a shot gun at them, but it had the
desired effect; they all vanished in
stanter, with the exception of the snow
colored kitten, who, being of Il nerv-
Gus temperament, did NOT survive the
attack. The of the deceased
kitten are in a quandery as to it's
whereabouts, surprising that it had re-
turned i'll privacy to attend to the
wants of various other white Kittens;
they spend the most of the mornings
in the vain cndeavorof coaxing it out
from under the house where we sleep.
II they will take the trouble to dig up
Il bank of SNOW directly under our
window, they will become duly en-
lightened as to what became of their
cherished household pet.

STUBBORN EQUINE.-The attention of
a large crowd of citizens were cngrosscd
yesterday noon Witnessing the actions
Of Il horse, near the Mammoth corral,
on Buel street. The animal was doubt
less suffering from u tit of sulks and
no noun of persuasion would in
duce him to move or draw the wagon
to which he was hitched. Three men
were kept busy for an hour bclaboring
him, wearing out a supply of black
snakes and two-inch planks. The ami
NAL was finally unhitchcd and taken
to the stable to remain until he had re-
covered his temper and equinc-iinity.

[F.nm the nenlson Ncws.

Last Sunday, 3lst ultimo, we had the
pleasure of forming the acquaintance
OF DR.. Lawrence A. Washington and
family.
DR.. Washington is the nearest living
Kin TO General George Washington.
His grand father, Samuel Washington,
was George Nashington's brother,
which of course makes the doctor the
generals grand nephew.
George Washington was the guardi-
an of DR.. Lawrence A, Washington's
father, when he was boy, and raised
him in his own family.
Dr. Lawrence A. Washington was
born in Winchester, Virginia, but re-
mayed tQ Texas some twenty-eight
years ago. Before the war he owned a
valuable plantation In Colorado Conn
~, and good many negroes, but lost
q large portion of his property during
the struggle for southern independ2
enee, of which he was warm supper
ter. After the declaration of peace, he
decided to leave the state and make II
home in California, and started north,
but got no further on his journey than
Kansas, where he remained until a
few months since, when he returned
to Texas and located in Denison.
DIR. WashingtOn's family consists of
three soDs and three daughters, two OF
the latter are married. All the child
ren are IN Texas, andthe daughters are
residents of Denison. .4.4 VI .-f-
We should Judge DR.. Washington to
be about sixty years Of age, strong and
vigorous, scarcely above his prime, ap-
parently.
During our short visit the doctor

MEMpIS, Tenn, May 3l.--From pub
lished reports of the proceedings Of the
decoration Of union soldiers graves at
the national cemetery yesterday, the
affair WAS the most disgmcetul ever
witnessed, aud the scenes enacted 10y
drunken negroes were disgrace to the
occasion. There We're probably not
more than dozen OF white persons
present, and Tom Swan, coIured, pres
ident OF the pull-bearers, had taken
charge of the ceremonies in the ceme-
terry, situated some five miles out on
the Louisville railroad. When the va
ri0us cOlorcd societies arrived there,
they found a number OF reheshment
stands erected, where lunches were Of
iered for sale. Tom Swan detailed
portion of his crowd, armed with mus
kets, to break them up, which was car
ried out by threatening to shoot the
owners, one or two of whom saved
their lives by fleeing TO the woods,
while u crowd Of negroes seized upon
and appropriated to their own use all
the edihles. Mr. Pope, who had u reg
ularly licensed grocery near the gate,
was next visited, and made to pay
twenty-five dollars forpermission tosell
though he exhibited his state and fed
eral license. y negro woman, named
Goldsley, was then robbed Of eleven
dollars. They then rushed to the gro
Gerry store of Felix Martin near by,
yelling 'lets drive the damned rascals
orr Martin and his assistant were
driven into the house pursued by the
mob, indulgng in the grOssest obscen-
ity and profanity. Mrs. Martin was
seized by them and her pocket torn
open and the money taken, a guard
was then placed around the house, and
the remainder proceeded to the ora
tors stand, where Ed, Shaw, the coll
ored wharf-master, harangued them
on civil rights, which was loudly APP
plauded He was followed by General
Smith, collector OF this port, who made
a brief address, appropriate to the oc-
casiou.
These disgraceful scenes have pro-
dpced considerable excitement, and il
is probable the ring-leaders will be AZ
rested for their acts. ,t. III

showed ~ various interesting relics Of
the past, but 10 us, the most valuable
of them all, are several original letters
written 10y George Washington to his
brother Samuel, bearing dates eNtend'
Ing over the eventual period embraced
between the years lI1O and 1850, These
confidential letters contain much val
liable information regarding tho o0un-
try during the most exciting period Of
the revelation, and have never been
published, Appearing, MS they do,
over General Westinghouse own sigma
turc they derive an Importance thar
no other authority could give them,
We also had an opportunity Of IN
specllng u suit OF clothes worn by Geu-
eral Washinton not long before his IN
auglrati0n ~ president of the United
States. The suit consists of coat,
waistcoat aud pants, made of rcpp silk
of dark brown color, and shows long
service. The style IL very peculiar
such rs Is shown In prints representing
the costumes Of u hundred years ago.
The long-tailed coat, the vest reaching
halfway 10 the knees, with huge pocl-
els, aud pants cut Off al the knees, and
ending with massive buckles, would
look extremely odd these days,
1t will BET long time before we shall
forget our very pleasant visit to DR.,
Washington, and those letters that the
signature OF George Washington has
made sacred aud those clothes, in
which, perchance, he was habiilated
ut the very time he indited them TO an
atlectlonate brother, made IA vivid inn
preston upon our mind that time can
never etlace.
The letters and clothes above alluded
TO are the same which we mentioned
in these columns month or two ago,
rs having been shown us by Mcssrs,
Adams IL leonard. They were then,
MS we stated, on the way to Dcnlson,
to be delivered to DR.. washington.

THE New York Graphic says of the
verdict in the Brinllley divorce suit,
that it asserts that the plaintiff is the
wife of Mr. Brinkley, and hence es-
tablishes the precedent that marriage
ceremony is not essential to constitute
marriage. Hereafter man who
keeps mistress and introduces her to
any one as his wife, may expect to find
her recognized by the law as being
legally married to him, Under this
decision "A man has only to live with
say three different women in three d;i-
fefent states, to alternately achieve all
the profits OF polygamy without fear
Of its former legal penalties. The de-
cision still further muddles our mar
riage laws, but it was, of course, fore
gone conclusion. since the plaintiff was
u pretty woman, aud the defendant

a pair of huge mountain lions or cou-

old, and are fully as large as good
sized panther. They do not obtain
their full growth until four years of age.
They are very ferocious, and give no
evidence of becoming tractable, and an
ordinary sized dog thrown Into the
cage did not survive long enough To
give q yelp. The owner saws they have
already deYoured some ten or twelve
dogs and twenty or thirty cats, which
have been given to them to play with.
