GRANT AND HIS DErRAcroR

proud OF its own insincerities and
Inconsistencies. Moreover, it is not

Suppose Grant should take it into
his head to resign and leave the
country in the hands OF Ferry aud
the Republican infationiets? Where
then would he the canvass for Hayes

The Herald had an impudent re-
porter, once. who attempted to foist
himself upon a. private junketing
party OF President Grants, travel

was first politely informed that he
WAS trespassing upon the privacy of
the President and his family, and
then, not having acted upon gentle
hint, he was elected from the car.
From that !ime to the present. Grant
has been denounced by the Herald
for his "Cnsarism. But. as we

A New Swindle.

T. T. Oliver, Western Union Tele-
graph operator at the Bourbon Stock
Yards in Louisville, was recently arrest
ed on q charge OF forgery. At the pre-
liminary examination it was shown that
on the goth Of February last, G. W.
Cash, of Garrett County, applied to
Oliver to have him inquire the selling
price of cattle in East Liberty, Pa, and
Covington, KY. Oliver ratified his in
strument and soon gave Cash amessage
saying the market was overstocked at
both places, and had better sell at Louis
vile. This he did, and alleges lost ST.
100 by the operation. Being in East
Liberty last week, Cash learned the
parties there had sent no dispatch, and
the enc given him by Oliver was forged
to secure its price -$2.O.

A Shower Of Flesh.

A Louisville Ky.) telegram Of the

lawyer of Mt. Sterling, KY, and a gen.
tleman well known for reliability, ar
rived in Louisville, tonight, with speci-
mems of the flesh which fell last Friday
in Bath County. The flesh covered two
acres of ground, resembled mutton, and
left traces Of blood on trees and fences
which were touched by the falling fakes.
Chickens and hogs devoured it with evil
dent relish. The heavens were clear,
the sun shone, and only floating clouds
were visible at the time, two p. m. Guam
titles of the flesh have been preserved.
That brought to Louisville was given to
Prof. Lawrence Smith, a well known
scientist, who says, no doubt it is ami
NAL flesh. He purposes making an ex-
animation tomorrow. A hundred per-
sons are willing to attest with afidayits
the truthfulness of the entire matter.

Cats as Mail Carriers.

The New York Times says: Certain
Belgians have formed a society for the
mental and moral improvement of cats.
Their first effort has been to train the
cat to do the work now done by carrier
pigeons. 1t has long been known that
the cat cannot be intentionally mislaid.
The most astute and accomplished sci
entific person would; have his ideas of
locality totally confused by being tied
up in meal bag, carried twenty miles
from home and let out with q loud re-
quest to "scat" in strange neighbor-s
hood in the middle of the night. This
experiment has, however, been repeat
edly tried upon cats of only average
abilities, and the invariable result has
been that the deported animal has re-
appeared at his native kitchen door the
next morning, and calmly ignored
the whole affair. This wonder
full skill in travelling through unfamiliar
regions without guide-book or a COM
pass has suggested the possibility of
using cats as special messengers. Re-
Gently the Belgian Society for the Ele-
vation of the Domestic Cat invited thir-
ty-seven cats residing in the city of
Liege to take social meal-bag trot into
the country. The animals were liberat-
ed at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at along
distance from Liege, and promptly pro-
ceeded to s'scat. At 6:48 the same
afternoon one of them reached his home,
and beyond limiting, though in much
more delicate way than that employed
by Mr.. Wegg, that saucer of milk
would be peculiarly mellering to the
organ" he did not make the slightest
allusion to his long and troublesome
journey. His feline companions arrived
at Liege somewhat later, but it is under
stood that within twenty-four hours
every one had reached his home.
The result has greatly encouraged the
society, and it is proposed to establish
at an early day regular system of cat
communication between Liege and the
neighboring villages. Messages are to
be fastened in waterproof bags around
the necks of the animals, and it is be-
lived that, unless the criminal class of
dogs undertakes to waylay and rob the
mail-cats, the messages will be deliver
ed with rapidity and safety. At first it
| is probable that the new method of let
ter-carrying will be patronized chiefly
by domestic servants, since the kitchen
is at present the usual habitat of the
cat. Cooks and policemen will not,
however, be long permitted to monopo-
lize the services of so swift and discreet
a messenger, and before very long the
lover will commit his daily vows to the
safe keeping of his mistress's Tabby,
and the Plymouth people will attach to
every stray cat that may come within
their reach letters involving the most
tremendous secrets, which they will i'm
plore the chance receiver to aid them
in keeping inyiolate.

The Eastern Mode Of SalutAtion- n-The
Temenas. @

The Pail Mall Gazette says: The
first outward token by which you will
recognize Turk is the temenas, or sa-
lutte, which is made by bringing the
right hand first to the lips and then to
the forehead. This salute Common to
the East) is representative sign of re-
spect; it represents taking the hand of
the person saluted, and bringing it to
your lips and forehead. It's representa-
tive form is still to be seen in some
converts in the East, where they have
puppet Madonna with the right arm
loose, which the votary at the shrine
takes hold of, and places reverently to
to his lips and forehead. And in Rome
it is not very rare to see an Eastern pill
grim before the bronze statue of St.
Peter kneeling and touching the extend
ed toe with his lips and forehead. In
these instances you have the original
custom out of which the Eastern teme-
mas arose. It is q form Of salute not
only graceful, but full of respect and
Difference for ones neighbor, and COM
patible, at the same time, with personal
self-rcspect.
Compare with this the Frank custom
of indiscriminate shaking hands-a
form of inanity, because giving the
hand has meaning, inasmuch as it is a
pledge, and when no pledge exists it is
practical nonsense; Of hypocrisy, be-
cause If it is meant as q gauge and
pledge of friendship it is constantly
given where no friendship exists and
none is required; and Of corruption, be-
