How q Cat Won a Wager.

A number of persons were in the
American House billiard saloon last
night, when a man came in with a cat
in his arms. A momentary wonder was
expressed as to what the companionship
meant, as men are not ia the habit of
going about with cats in their arms.
The observers had not long to wait, as
the cat carrier exclaimed; "Bet any
body this cat will carry bottle of ale
ten feet. Somebody either doubted
that pussy would perform the feat or
willing to see it done, took the bet.
Two chalk lines were made on the floor,
the bottle was produced, and the per.
Torrance began. The bottle was plac-
ed on the mark, aud the cat was to carry
it to the other. Selling the animal by
the tail the man hung her head down
over the bottle. Obeying known i'm
pulse, the cat grabbed the bottle with
her fore feet. The man then walked
over the the chalk mark, and the cat,
clinging desperately to the bottle, car
ried it along the floor the specified dis
lance. The wager was won.-Ainero

EOYNTON THE MAN.FISH.

Some Of His Further Exploits in England.
Capt. Boynton, an American, who
went to England few weeks since to
exhibit the efficiency of his life-preserv-
ing dress, has astonished the London
ers by his achievements on the Serpen-
tine and the Thames. On the Goth of
January, says the London News, he ex-
cited the wonder of thousands of per-
sons by floating from Mapping to Vaux-
hall In his water proof suit. 1t may be
said that never before was Old Father
Thames SO defied and set at naught by
mortal; it's depths had no terrors to the
man who fearlessly committed himself
to them, and its yellow tide no power
to resist his advance or check his pro-
gress. The scene is described as fol-
lows:
Captain Boynton started with food
tide from Mapping Old Stairs. All the
begrimed lighters moored thereabouts
were crowded with workmen, just arriv-
ed from the yards and shops on the
other side and the barges and water
men, young and old, looked on open
mouthed at the gentlemen who, encas-
nag himself In an armor of Indil rub
Der, walked into and along the river
without touching the bottom who
could not sink lower than his breast had
he tried ever SO hard to do it, and who,
by the aid of light, -bladed canoe
paddle, set off on his journey, followed
by feet of boats and loudly cheered
by the amazed and delighted spectators.
The Thames, however, ruf1ed by a
smart wind against heavy tide, was a
much severer test than the steamless
Serpentine, yet nothing could be more
complete than the success OF the trip.
Rough or smooth it matters nothing to
the Americaa Guardsman, and the
spectator Is soon possessed Of absolute
confidence IN the safety of the invention.
Blowing his fog horn Or whistle, using
his axe, smoking his cigar, and waving
his banner, his voyage was quite a
triumphal progress, and the voyageur
seemed to take a special delight In
threading his way among the shipping
and boats, taking the arches where the
current was most dangerous.
Once or twice he purposly allowed
himself to foul barge or the buttress
Of bridge, Id one instance shooting
like an arrow under the stern and be-
tween two boats towing behind. Easy
t was to see that, clad in one Of the
suits, man may venture where boat
could never go, and perform a service of
the highest advantage to humanity.
The wonder expressed in the faces Of
the sailors staring over the bulwarks OF
the crowded shipping III the Pool, or on
board the river steamers and barges
drifting westward was not the least com
ical and interesting feature of the jour
ney, and the omnibus and cab men
pulled up on every bridge till the bold
adventurer had passed.

Who's not heard of Eva Tuohill.

Queen of Llmericks lovely maidens.
Cork colleens, and Galway girls
With her slender shape that's swimmin'
Like swan among the women,
with her voice of silver cadence.
And her crown of clustering curls?

Sure you're just one glorious jewel!
Lit with lovely, flying fiushes.
From delightful lip to brow;
Now in dreams your eyes they darkle,
Now with JOY they dance and sparkle;
Now your cheek is bathed in bushes,
Drowned in dimpled laughter now.
But your beauty, Iva Tuohill,
Is no opal false and cruel,
Nor the meteor-star deceiving,
Flashing ruin from above
No! but some divinest splendor,
Out of angels tear crop tender
Crystalled, in one Iris weaving
Faith and Hope and Virgin Love.

Drinking and Gamsling-Its Home Indus
ries.
From the Virginia City Enterprise.
Nevada, with $4,000 people, has 900
licensed places where liquors are re-
tailed. This is at the rate of one
LIQUOR dealer to each sixty-one inhabi-
tants. It is estimated that the receipts
of these liquor saloons average $40 per
day. or at the rate of go cents per capita
Let us make further estimate of the
money daily squandered in one (Storey)
county in pandering to the popular
vices of drinking and gambling. There
are in the county twenty licensed gamb-
ling games, whose games are sustained
at an average daily cost of 800 each, or
50, 900 daily. This does not include the
winnings of the games, which doubtless
aggregate as much more. But we will
place the expenses and profits of these
games at $4,000 daily. We have,
therefore:
Expended in liquors daily. .........-$ 10000
Expended in gambling daily. 5000
iol a ............. ....s''' 1o,OoU
Or, monthly. $4,000
VI, yearly ...-..-.... ...'.%f,o ouOO
Which is equivalent to the labor of
$3.50 miners daily at the rate of 81 per
day. This is very suggestive showing
for single county.
