From Lieutenant Governor Hub
bard "'rhe Wharf Rats Home, or The
rom Cats Prey" is in my opinion SUI
generis. The color of the cat is partic-
uhrly life-like; the hump of its back
suggests war. The legislature will
doubtless make the necessary appro-
priation to purchase the original and
present it to the city of Galveston.
Send me fifty copies for distribution
among the bar"
From the President of the Cotton
Exchange: "rhere is Il simple marine
beauty about "phe Wharf Rats Home,
or The Tom Cats Prey which stamps
it as the most spirited and previous
picture of the day. The members can
hardly restrain their tears when look
ing upon it. There is weird some
thing about the expression Of the cats
eyes and tail which is very startling.r
From Charles Morgan, Esq: "Send
me one for each of my steamers. This
chrome reduces the wharf rates one
half, and saves Galveston millions.
Send me the cat which sat for the orig
inal in the chrome; | want to present
1t to the News as testimonial of my
appreciation of its efforts to throttle
monopoly and strange corruption."'

ium tremens look out of the cats eve
