sinew and seeming to feel the fierce inspiration
Of the scene, the great engine itself rocking
and swaying as it springs forward, while IN
it's path is train of smoke and fire! Even to
one who is accustomed to such sight II is
appalling, and if Berlin could but witness
such q scene as is enacted every few nights IN
New Orleans or New York, it would open their
eyes little. But with all this comes the
question Of whether it is better not TO need
such an effective fire department, as is the
case here, or to require and have it. as IN our
American cities.
A fire is the rarest occurrence IN German
city and even when one breaks out, it is always
the mildest form, and SO great is the vigi-
lance of the people that lis almost invariably
discovered and subdued before it has chance
to do any great destruction, 80, while we can
boast over the Berlin people. as regards the
great superiority of our engines and appli-
ances generally, they can reply that their
system is sufficient for their necessities, and
that it is better to have no fires than no fire
department. and on sober reflection one
must admit that they have rather the best
side of the case, for it is much more COM
Portable to live in city where fires are almost
than in one where they happen two
or three times in night, in spite of all the
steam engines, etc. Yours, STAHLFELDRR.

A Cat Story.

Pussy has always sustained somewhat spot
ted reputation, and though two or three Of the
magazine writer's have la ely endeavored to clear
her skirts of evil, aud raise her to a level with
the dog the effect has been q lamentable failure.
Pu. sy is innatey ferocious and treacherous, and
besides this she is accused of something causing
her to be ranked with the ghouls and vampires.
The latest story of this cat wickedness comes
froufSyracuse ny. gentleman of that city
one night lately retired at the usual hour, his
wife occupying the adjoining room.
During the night the wife heard q singular
sound in the adjoining apartment as if her hus-
band we're strangling. Finally the sound be-
came 80 intensified as to alarm her. and she
arose hastily to make an investigation. Entering
the room of the husband her eyes were greeted
with spectacle decidedly startling. Her hus-
band was sleeping, but the family cat had its
nose thrust in the mans mouth and it's paws
tightly clasped about his throat.
The woman seized the animal, but it chung to
it's hold tenacionsly, and was pulled away with
the greatest effort. The man was nearly suffo-
Gated. and it is believed would have been killed
but for the timely interference of his wife. 1t is
scarcely necessary add that the cat in question
now retains not single one Of its nine lives, but
it did enough while living to add something to
the already bad character of its species.-&

The Berlin guide. books speak quite proudly
of their "Fire-watch," telling how admirably
they are organized and provided with all the
requisites for effective duty, but one can easily

the sensation that would be produced if some
ten or twelve of our American steam fire en-
gines could be brought suddenly up on the

of polished brass, steel and silver, with clouds
of smoke and columns of sparks starting up

roaring like some living monster from another

something exciting about the running of one
of their little hand engines as it goes rafting
through the streets at night, with its blazing

neonle who have never seen anything better,

Colonel Valentine Baker, a crony
Of thePrice of Wales, made an inde>
cent and ungentlemsnly assault upon
a lady, Miss Dickinson, shut up with
him, while travelling. IN a conPart-
ment car, after the English fashion.
She escaped his advances only by
clambering out of the door and cling
ing TO the outside of the car, at the
risk of her life for q number of miles,
till at last the train was stopped and
she was extricated. The lady belongs
10 an excellent family and they will
not accep; apologies from the English
gentleman but sue him for the a.
ssult. Now, there are two parties
in England on the subject-a Dickin-
son party insisting that justice shall
be done by the punishment of the Of
fender, and a Baker party denying
everything, and urging that, anyhow,
the girl had no business to travel
alone. In France there ia said to be
but one party. and that Baker par
". which holds that Miss Dickinson,
in imprudently travelling without her
mother or duenna. voluntarily pro-
claimed herself ready for an armour
of any kinG, and invited the insult
she received. The trial will show
which view receives the sanction of
English law.
