And Now a Cat Whips an Eagle.

baltimore American, June H.
A gentleman If this city gives an
interesting account of recent at
tempt by an eagle to carry off cat,
which occurred at farm on the bay
shore of Kent County, Maryland.
A Young medium-sized cat was tread
inc leisurely along in a potato patch,
when a large, fullgrown eagle
swooped down, and, catching her in
his talons, bore her up. Pussy wrig-
oiled and. mewed piteously for some
moments, but suddenly seeming i'm
bued with courage, she began de-
termined effort to obtain hold on
her oppressor. So great were her
struggles that the eagle was unable
to fiy longer, and kept up continu-
Gus tapping of its wings to keep aloft.
After much exertion the cat succeed
ed in its object, and obtained a Srm
grasp with her claws on the breast OF
the eagle, which made every possible
endeavor to free itself in vain, 1t
tapped its wings, shook its body. and
appeared to heartily regret having
meddled with pussy in her peaceful
ways. Finally, as if in despair and
exhaustion, it spread its broad wings
and fell slowly to the bay, over which
the struggle had been goingon. I'm
mediately upon touching the water
the cat loosed her hold and swan
boldly ashore, while the eagle, upon
being freed Of its troublesome bur
den shot upward and sped rapidly
| away.

Remarkable Surgical Operation.

At the recent meeting of the Rens-
selaer County, New York, Medical
Society, a doctor reported a case
which goes as far to show the pro
gress being made in the healing art
rs anything recently Y met with. Next
to taking out the lungs and cleansing
them stands the operation of cutting
into a persons chest, and through
the wound made, washing out the in
side. Early in January last, little
twin daughter of James Kelly, of
Troy, had inflammation of one lung;
and since then had been gradually
failing. The physician soon became
convinced that an accumulation OF
matter was taking place in the affect
ed side, which, unless removed, would
cause death. Accordingly, about
three weeks ago, with an instrument
termed the "aspirator," cOnsidera-
BILE quantity of pus was removed, but
not nearly all. The nature of the
case being more fully revealed, it was
determined to mako thorough work,
and, in a day or two after, three sur
geons made a free, bold incision be-
tween the ribs into the cavity of the
chest, midway between the heart and
the spine, on the left side, and evac-
uated about quart of matter.
"A double tube was then inserted
into the opening made; and by means
of & syringe fitted to it, the whole
cavity was washed cut with disin-
fectant solution of just the tempera-
ture of the blood. This cleansing
process has been repeated once in a
day or two, and as the result OF II
the little sufferer who was so near
deaths door, is sitting up, eats well,
and plays some, and the opening " i'll
soon be allowed to heal. Only four
cases have been reported in this
country in which this method OF OPP
Grating was adopted, but it is ap-
proved by the highest medical an
thority, and will undoubtedly De re-
sorted to more frequently as it be-
comes more generally known, as a
means of saving life.

comfort and did chores for her. At
last she became sick and confined to
her bed. Polly faithfully nursed
her, and at length the lady died.
She told Polly her history sup
pressing her real name, and said to
bury her in the grave beside her
darling boy, under the oak tree that
she had planted near the cave, and
that she was to he buried IN her
wedding dress-a beautiful white
satin one-and on her head the
wreath that she wore on her head on
the occasion of her marriage. Faith
ful Polly attended TO matters as she
was told, and Mrs. Melville, for that
was the name the lady called herself,
gave to Polly all her money, which
was 81 900, and also her old clothes.
So rests within mile or two of
Qeala in one of the hummocks, the
dast mortal remains the poor, bro-
,ken-hearted widow. The relatives
and friends will never know her end
or her burial place.

Table Manners.

The table is the place at which the
family meet, and there should be the
freest and most unrestrained social
intercourse. We eat to live; but the
mere animal necessity is lifted up
and glorified, when the charms of
pleasant conversation and of mutual
courtesy surround the custom. So
far as the sustaining of life is con-
cerned, that object might be reached
if each took his bread and meat, and
retired to a closet to eat it alone.
But there is spiritual life that is to
be fed and sustained, and it is starved
where there is no grace, not only be-
fore, but during a meal.
The great trouble with our Ameri
can life is, that it is too gloomy. We
take no time to entertain and amuse
each other. Not seldom does it hap
pom in some houses, that meal pro-
crosses in dead silence, except when
uccr--eRF To speak abOut the
dishes, or to help some one 70 pUra=
toes or pie. This is almost as bad
as rudeness or quarreling. There
ought to be bright, sparkling talk in
which the children should be allowed
to join. There is no sense, whatever,
in compelling an Intelligent child to
sit like a deaf mute at the table;
though on the other hand, children
should not monopolize the conversa-
tiOn, nor be allowed to ask strings
of irrelevant questions. Every one
should prepare for the table by some
simple process of dressing. The hair
should be smooth, the hands washed,
the general appearance ofeach should
try to be as agreeable as possible to
every other. 1t is quite wonderful
how a little freshing of the toilet
freshens up the soul rs well as the
face. So far we ought all to be lux
urious. If the mother sees to it, that
her school-hoy SONS always come to
dinner with clean hands and nails,
and that her daughters never dawtlle
into tawdry finery or solid wrappers,
she will do more than she dreams of
in the work of making them grow
into real gentlemen and ladies'.
The table itself ought to have
festive losk. Flowers have a special
grace Oh the breakfast board. A dish
of fruit nicely arranged, pleases the
eye as well rs the palate at dinner.
Clean linen, even though coarse, and
whole plates and cups, with bright
glass and silver, help appetite along.
A few well cooked dishes, however
plain, nicely served will promote
health and happiness better than a
great variety ruined in the prepara-
ton.
Some housckeepers, with an eye to
saving trouble on washing day, have
adopted the marbled oil-cloth, instead
OF the white damask for ordinary
use. For our part, we would prefer
economy in almost any other way.
A fine white table-cloth, or buff or
crimson one occasionally for break
fast or tea, will furnish forth the fam
ily feast much more beautifully.

A Detroit MANS joke.

He did not look like joker. One
to sit and study his face wOuld have
said that his soul was SO lost in mel
ancholy that he didn't care two cents
whether the sun set at noon orstayed
up until seven o'clock. He entered
the ladies' sitting room at the Central
depot, walked up to a woman whose
husband had left the room about ten
minutes previously, and calmly in
quired:
"Madam, your husband went out
to see the river, didn't hep"
"Yes-why?' she asked, turning
pale in an instant.
'He was tall man, wasn't he?"
"He was," she replied, raising up
and turning still paler.
"Had red hair?"
"He had-oh, what has as-happenedY'
eWeighed about $50 poundsY

"Had silver watch-chainr' con-
tinued the stranger.
"Where is my husband-where is
the body?" she gasped.

your husband have on gray suitY'
"Yes-oh! my Thomasl my Thom-

"And stoga bootsY'
"Let me see him-let me see himp
she cried
"Come this way, madam, but do
not get excited. There, is that your
husband across the street at that pea

"Why, yes, that's him; that's my
husband" she exclaimed jOyfully.

''No, madam, / did not l saw him

He slid softly out, and she stood
there and chewed her parasol and
stared after him as if he were me

ALL THE WORLD,

All the world is full of babies,

Signing over little troubles,
Fingers bruised and broken toys;

Still they come, and still they go.
All the world is full of lovers,
Walking slowly, whispering sweel, I,
Dreaming dreams, and building eastie
That must crumble ut their feet'
Breaking vows. and burning letters,
Smiling, lest the world shall Know.

Still they come and still they go.

Bearing burdens, carrying crosses,
Passing onward with sigh,
Some there are, with smiling faces,
But with heavy hearts below,
Oh. the sad-eyed, burdencd people
How they come, and how they go.
All the earth is full of corpses;
Dust and homes laid there to rest;
This the end that babes and children,

All their sorrows, wearing so,
Oh. the silent. happy corpses,
Sleeping soundly, lying low.
