An AGeetIOnats Kitten.

Some months ago a kitten was
born in the attic Of Mr.. Lewis Bslch's
house, at Grovelsnd, where it lived
through its kittenhOOd unheknown to
the family downstairs. In due time
kitty got its "eyes Open" and with
increasing strength came the desire
for wider field Of operations than
was afforded by its narrow attic
home. Softly, with cautions foot
steps, she crept down lbe stairs to a
chamber below, from the window Of
which it found the way to the ground.
The kitten was very shy Of the fami-
", and would not allow any Of them
to touch or caress it, bat associated
quite famiharly with fock Of fowls,
taxing special fancy to a rooster.
II followed him round, rubbed against
his legs and sides, purred, and show
ed other signs Of attachment. At
night, when be went to roost on
tree, kitty would go too, and take
position as near him as possible. A
few days ago the rooster died, and
the kitten forsoOk Mr.. BaIch's premi-
ses, and formed an acquaintance
with flock Of hens belonging to q
eighbor.-Ness5aryPOrt Herald.

The Power Of snum

DR. Rudolph Won Gardeu6eld
chief physician in the Bayarisn army
during the Napoleon wars, tells the
following; "0nce l was gathering
plants in a small forest near Moiseu.
Suddenly came upon a man who
was lying on the ground and whom
| at once supposed to be dead On
drawing near to him, however, / per-
ceived be was still alive, but in a
fainting state. Vigorously shook
him; at last be opened his eyes, and
asked me in a lamentable and scarcely
audible voice, whether / had any
snuff with me z When | gave a
negative answer, he fell back into his
former condition. | now went in
search of snuff, and was fortunate
enough to meet a peasant, who kind
ly came with me to the fainting man,
and gave him some pinehes of snuff
The man soon recovered, and then
told me that he had to travel q GER
tain distance as messenger, and on
starting in the morning, had forgot
ten to take his snuff box. As be
went along, so violent became his
craving for snuff, that be was COM
pletely exhausted aad had fallen
down in a swoon at the spot where
| found him. But for my opportune
arrival, he said that be must surely
have died.

LarE.sf Diamond d. Aneriea.

The San Francisco Chronicle
says: The largest diamond "A the
United States is anoBg the glitter
ing objects OF interest in the show
window of Col. Andrews diamond
palace on Montgomery Street. 1t
attracted a great deal of attention
Yesterday. It's weight is 81 Lie
karats. 1t vas found in Africa two
years ago, and was taken to
Amsterdam, where il was cut and
polished. twenty-five months were
oecqpied in subjecting it to these
processes. It is slightly of color,
and consequently its value is only
$50. 600. Col. Andrews brother,
residing in London, secured the gem.
and forwarded it to this city. TIE
next largest diamond in America is
owned by Boss" Tweed, and
weighs III karsts. The late Jim
Fisk had one of Is karats' weight.
The most valuable diamond owned
IN San Francisco up to this time IS
in the possession Of Lloyd feTis,
and is said TO be worth $4,000.

The Original OF she sDeeIarati.n."

A Washington writer to the New
York Evening Post finds on q visit
to the Patent Office Museum, where
the original Declaration Of Indepeud-
enee is on exhibition, that while the
engrossed part Of the instrument is
in fair state of preservation, al the
signatures, except those on the last
column Of the right side, are almost
wholly OBLIGATED. He suggests that
the document might be touched up"
with the aid Of a msgnifying glass,
and sees no impropriety in It, since
great historical pictures are freqentIy
renovated. The suggestion seems to
be a good one. The simple restOra-
ton Of the names would not make it
less valuable, since its main import
snee as a historical relic is derived
from the fact that it is the original
document signed 100 years ago in
Philadelphia.

Never get discouraged,
Though your efforts seem to fall;

And your case viii yet prevail.
The man who goes TO battle
With hinehing eoward's soul,

While the years in order roll.
Never get discouraged,
Put your shoulder to the wheel;
Let your will be Ike to iron,
And your nerve to finest steel
Let the faltering call you foolish;

Put him gently to the side.
Never get discouraged.

For the sun viii shine tomorrow,
And God win aid the right.
