Mr.. William Milling, near Salem

a "catamonnt" weighing twenty
pounds. lie was out hunting with
his rife, when passing under a tree,
the "varmi"t" sprang upon him from
an overhanging limb. 1t missed it's
distance and landed upon the ground,
but sprang second time at MIR.
Willing and fastened its claws in the
breast Of bis coat. He struck it off
and it ran second time mp the tree.
Mr.. Milling drew his pistol and fred
at it, the ball taking effect in the
animals head. It sprang upon him
again, but was soon despatched. IInd
the beast heen larger, it uight have
made dangerous fight, rs it evinced
any amount of pluck.
This nnima! is about three feet in
length. with brown back, and tawny
belly, covered with brown spots.

Congress will next have TO pass an act
amendatoTy Of the civil rights bill and de-
claIing the legislative Interpretation of the
word ''inr." 10 is a little remarkable that,
while most acts of Congress abound in YER
bosity, there should in so many cases be a
doubt as 10 the true intent OF certain words
and phrases employed in such acts. A
United States Commissioner i'm North Caro-
lima yesterday promptly dismissed the
charge brought by a coloret man against a
aloon-keeper for refusing TO sell him a
drink, on the ground that the civil rights bill
has no application whatever to bar-rooms
The bill limits the rights of colored persons
TO "inns, public conveyances by land or
water, and theaters or other places Of public
amusement and 1t is already urged that
saloons or restaurants are not inns unless
they furnish lodging accommodations. Web
ster defines the word inn 10 mean. in its first
sense, "a house for the lodging and enter
tainment of travellers; often a tavern where
liquors are furnished for travellers and
others" A tavern the same authority de-
fines as "a house licensed TO sell LIQUORS in
small quantities, to be drank on the spot;-
and adds that Gin some OF the United States
tavern Is synonymous with inn or hotel and
denotes house for the entertainment of
travellers, as well as for the sale OF liquors,
licensed for that purpose" II was undoubt-
edly the intention OF Congress to make the
word ''inns" cover all places where liquors
are sold; but nevertheless, il the new law is
10 be literally interpreted, il is already
dead letter so far as saloons and restaurants
without lodging accom- mcdations are con-
cerned.

Little states, like little people, are the most
touchy, and stand most on their dignity.
The spirit OF the Dorr rebellion still fingers
IN Little Rhody," AID her people, from the
governor down, are much stirred up over a
seizure OF liquor by the United States mar
shall, which has led to a conflict OF authority
between the federal officers and municipal
authorities Of Providence on one side, and
the majesty Of the state ON the other. Gov.
Howard, in his plucky speech 10 the state
senate, reported in our telegraphic columns,
takes the ground that their little state is en-
titled 20 all the rights, privileges, AMI immu-
miles enjoyed by the biggest ones-which
nobody can deny.

be intended TO give Mrs. Beecher an opportu-

bill is entitled "An act to enable husbands
and wives to testify for each other In crimi-
nal trials" II provides that whenever a
husband shall for criminal offence be under
an Indictment or examination or trial, and
shall offer himself as a witness. his wife shall
be competent witness in his behalf. The

INTO ETERNITY.
Southern Kansas Does not Par.
ley With Horse Thieves,
But Ties q Rope Around Their
Necks and Sends Them to
the Next World.

Ye horse thief is not regarded in favor
able light by the grim and hardy pioneers
who inhabit the southern and southwestern
portions Of the goOdly State OF Kansas.
Men who work hard to secure little prop
erty feel downcast whe n raided npon by a
band of robbers and deprived of their all,
and Immediately feeling of vengeance
takes possession of their souls,
which is never satiated until the dep
redators are safe in the spirit land where
they will rob and steal no more. The cheer
ing news now comes from the portions of
this State above referred to, to the effect
that six of these delectable horse thieves
have been unceremoniously hustled into
another world with their boots on-prayers
unsaid and naught but stern, determined
and energetic vigilance committee as
mourners. Sedgwick, Sumner and COwley
counties have suffered more from the dep
relations of these fellows than any other
portion of this exceedingly afflicted COM
munity, and it behooved the inhabitants
thereof toiissue an injunction which would
effectively stop all further proceedings.
One night in the latter part
OF last week, the leader of one Of the most
famous OF the marauding bands, Cooke by
name, and five of his followers, were cap
tured by n vigilance committee at Yelling
ton, and when the gray dawn lighted up
the eastern sky, six gentle spirits had been
waited TO that eternal home where horse
thieves cease from troubling, and the vora-
cious grashopper is at rest. No more will
these wild men OF the plains scour the
prairies and appropriate the property which
belongs by right OF ownership to Others,
and never again will he shoot the nimble
revolver, or handle the festive bowie. Judge
Lynch and his jury escaped detection, and
the story of the execution remains untold,
except as above related. We are progress

A WIPES TRIALS.

Isaac Levy Buried Sunday Afternoon-Prob-
able Discovery of the Body Of Jacob Levy,
At Denver.
The body of Isaac Levy was buried Sum-
day afternoon in the Jewish burying ground
near the Pilot Knob. Last Friday his
mother received a telegram from Denver
stating that body had been discovered
there which, although the features were to-
tally unacceptable, it was thought to be
the corpse of her husband, who so mysteri-
ously disappeared eight months ago. The
dispatch asked her to state what kind of a
shirt and pair of boots he wore at the time
of his departure, as the de-
scriptionof these articles will lead
lead, materially to the Identification of the
body. Mrs. Levy has sent description Of
those articles of his apparel and expects
an answer soon. Mr.. Levy's life was some
what heavily insured in the Missouri Val
ley company of this city, and the recovery
OF that money will be great help to her,
as she is at present in an impecunious con-
dition, the death OF her son dcpriving her
of her sole support.

Sunday afternoon two cyprians, named

at the corner of Third and Seneca streets,
for the purpose of taking drive. Being
somewhat, in fact, almost entirely under the
influence Of liquor, they could do little to-
wand the management of their hor.e, and
consequently the animal had il his own
way. While on Fifth avenue they collided
with the family carriage of Mr.. F. A.
Miller, hardware merchant, break
ing his vehicle and seriously
injuring his horse. They then proceeded
to the Fort, and while attempting to turn
around in the street, before the suffers
store, the carriage tipped over, throwing
the occupants upon the hard macadam,
tearing the flesh on the arm of one, and
lacerating the face of the other After they
were sufficiently revived they were taken

purpose, and escorted to the calaboose,

YESTERDAY morning, at an early hour,
on the premises of prominent citizen on
Ottowa street, hen, with a dependent
brood OF little chicks, was scratching dill
gently for the proverbial worm. Under the
sidewalk skirting the house, was concealed
a full-grown rat, who also was playing the
early bird, and had his ewes intent upon
the movements of the innocent hens and
ROSTERS. One little chich was almost with
in his grasp, when the watchful mother dis
covered the danger. Quick as Lightning
she caught the rat with her beak and tossed
him upon the sidewalk, where she furiously
pecked ct his head. The connection among
the chickens and the futile squealing of the
rat, brought the family, who were seated at
breakfast, to the door. The head of the
house grasped stick and rushed to the as
sistance Of the valiant hen, who was still
striking incessant and deadly blows, and
the man found il was impossible to aid her
without danger 10 herself. In less than a
minute the brave old hen had succeeded in
putting head" of such extraordinary d.
mensions on the rat, that he could raise il
no more forever, and with modest but sat
isfactory 'cluck, cluck," the feathered he
roine gathered her family about her, and
started again in pursuit of the worm. The
delight and admiration of the owner was
none the less remarkable, and an observer
fully concurred in the exclamation, It's
the bist hin in the city of Leavenworth."
