4 Happy Family.

A Richmond Cnd newspaper vOuches
tor the truth of the following story:
1.-THE lion has not yet been observed to
lie down with the lamb, but something
equal to it has happened. A white cat,
with tour young kittens, set up house,
keeping in a box where there happened
to be two young rats. Instead Of de-
vouring them, as would have been natural,
she adopted them, and afforded them the
same nourlshment that she supplied to
her kittens. One of the kittens and one
of the rats died. Yesterday we called
to see the happy family, and found the
three kittens and the rat drawing their
daily sustenance in happy promiscuous-
ness. The mother cat bestowed frequent
carssses upon her little ones, and the rat
came in for q full share. 1t seemed to
enjoy the love lick and responded in
as affectionate manner as possible for q
rat. After all, as a matter of prudence,
that young rat had better move ont be-
tore his tail gets too long,"

We call the attention. of our readers In
the advertisement Of the Moberly Gift
Concert. We are aware that May So
called bat dissimilar enterprises have
been organized fo' the purpose OF Oh
tanning money under the prctence OF
giving 90 much back in large gifts, but
the gifts advertised were never actually
distributed to ticket holders. Those
who are operating such enterprises are
doing 90 for the purpose OF making
money, and when they find that . draw
ing is impossible they resort to postpone
mcnts, or even worse, to compromise.
This has had its influence in destroying
public confidence, and many are prone
to unhesitstingly condemn ell such
enterprises ~ being alike. But the Git
Concert to be given in Aoberly, Mo-, On
the 31st day of July, unlike many 20.
called schemes, has for its foundation the
accomplishment Of q very charitable
result, and the citizens Of Moberly who
are conducting the enterprise, and whose
honor and reputation and means are
pledged TO . fair and honorable distribu-
ton, hsve no interest whatever, not even
TO the extent OF q salary.
They have very generously donated
their time and their funds 10 aid one Of
their fellow-citizens, whom they induced
to construct one of the most magnificent
hotel buildings in the State of Missouri.
When the panic came. Mr.. McQuaid was
compelled TO borrow money to complete
the structure he had begun, which he
has done in q style that makes it the
pride of the city, and this plan has been
instituted to dispose Of the property at
its actual cost, and the other priz s are
all there.
The people Of Moberly are justly
proud OF the thrift and enterprise of
their city. Its rapid growth and COM
mercial interests have characterized ii as
the "Msgic. City" Of Missouri.
A private fund has been raised 20 bear
the expense Of conducting the concert,
and the money realized from the sale of
tickets is deposited In the city banks TO
the credit of the ticket holders, SD that
IN the event the concert should fail, all
money will be refunded. We believe
the people Of Moberly will redeem their
pledge, and you cannOt invest one dollar
in a safer enterprise; you are sure to get
the benefit OF your ticket, though you
purchase an unlucky number. For fur
