Something Like a Cat

" Talking about cats" said Uncle Tim,
a regular Yankee, puts me in mind Of a
cat once owned. Let me tell you about
her. She was a Maltee, and what that cat
didn't know wasn't worth KNOWN Here's
one thing she did : In the spring of 46
moved into the little old house on the
Crooked River. We put our provisions
down in the cellar, and the first night we
made our beds on the floor But We didn't
sleep. No sooner had it come dark than
we heard tearin' and a squeakin' in the
cellar that Was awful lit the candle
and went down. Jerusalem Talk about
rats | never saw such sight in my
born days. Every inch Of the cellar bot
tom was covered with them. They ran up
to me and all over me. | jumped back
into the room and called the cat She
came down and looked. guess she sat
there about ten minutes looking at them
rats, and | was waitin' to see what she
would do. By and by she shook her head,
and turned and went up stairs, She didn't
care to tackle EN-. That night, tell you,
here wasn't much sleep. In the mornin
| could not find her. Shed gone / guess
the rats had frightened her and, to tell
the plain truth, [ didn't wonder much
Night came again, and the old cat hadn't
come. Says Betsy Ann Chats my wife)

eat us up Says /, Just let the old cat

and opened il and there stood old Maltee
on the doorstep, and behind her a whole
army of cats, all paraded as regular a. any

others followed her. She went right to
the cellar-door and scratched there. !

Foreign Demand for American Ma
chinery.

The improvement in American machine
ry within the past few years has been 90
great that large quantities of it have been
exported to foreign countries. This in
true chiefly Of machines adapted to the
reproduction Of certain forms automatic
machines which are intended TO make in
Interchangeable work. as in sewing machines,
pistols, guns, and similar articles. The
American milling machines, and the sys-
tenn of milling metals into shape, are now
used in all great foreign armories and
workshops, and it needs nothing but &C.
qualntance with the excellence of the en-.
glnes Of industry to account for the fact.
We do not refer to the expectation of
moving machines, steam engines and boil
ers, or any article which we have special
facilities to make, but particularly to tools
which have Lational reputation, and
which are known in the markets Of the
world as American tools. Of these the
universal scroll chuck is q familiar exam
pie. This is an apparatus for holding a
round object in a lathe exactly central
with the spindle, 50 that it is adjusted at
once without loss of time This tool is in
dispeRsable in every machine shop, and il
y III lule anu
much appreciated abroad
The twist drill is another purely Ameri-
can tool. 1t is simply round steel bar.
cut like common anger, with edges suit
able for boring metals. 1t ranges in size
from fine needle to three inches il d.
ameter. One establishment in this coun-
Try has gradually abscas "a the entire ia
terest of others, and has steady foreign
demand for all its wares. machine firm
in Connecticut, which, from yery modest
beginninge ten or twelve years since. has
built up an enormous trade, has exported
IN the last thee years over 81, 250, O0n
worth OF gun. pistol, and sewing machine
tools. These men have stocked several
foreign armories with automatic machines
on the American principle and they are
as well known III European markets as
they are at home. We might point also
to the locomotive engive makers at Pater-
son and Philsdelph whose reputation Is
worldwide. The performance Of Amer
can engines abroad h s been 50 satisfactO
ry, compared with those Of local builders,
as to secure large contracts, and an order
for locomotives 70 burn anthracite coal, is
now being filled at Paterson for the Rus.
sian government The demand for Ameri-
can machines IN foreign markets has been
created solely BY reason Of the intrinsic
merit of the articles. .-NeW York San.

A Practical Joke

Another example, in our opinion, OF
high order Of practical joking. malicious
though it be, is the following one, related
by Moore. of Sheridan. Th- Rev. Mr.
o Beirne. Afterward Bishopof Meath. hav-
ing arrived at Sheridan's country house
near Osterley. il Was proposed that IN the
next Sunday the Clergyman should preach
at the village church On his objrcting
that he Was not provided with a sermon,
Sheridan offered toi~rite one for him, II he
w. uld consent to preach IL. The offer was
accepted The next morning (Sauday)
Mr.. OBierne found the MSS by his bed
side. Having read It over and corrected
some theological errors, such az ''lt is east
er for camel, as Moses says, etc, he
went to the church and delivered the ser
mon in his most impressive style, ~ the
great satisfaction a. he thought, nf All the
congregation, among whom was Sheridan's
wealthy neighbor, Mr.. C. Some
months after Mr.. 0 Beine fou=L himself
cot by the whole family Of the C--s,
with whom he had previously been mti-
mate and on expressing his surprise at
this treatment was informed that SheTi
dams sermon had been, from beginning
to end, personal attack upon Ar. C,
who had rendered himself very unpopular
by his harsh conduct 10 the poor, and to
whom the congrt CATION had spplied every
sentence the preacher had delivered. The
sermon is preserved, but it is unfortunate
ly too long to quote. The text is For
the oppression ~ the poor, for the sighing
of the needy, now will arise, saith the
Lord will set hmm IN safety from him
that puffeth ut him" Psalmns xii, '. 5.
The whole discourse 10 % grave and seem
" that it needs sn Acquaintance with Sheri-
dams intention 10 appreciate the subtle
vein Of irony that runs through it.-Au
