a MECHANICAL CAT.-Leonard, of the
Cleveland Leader, has invented sheet iron
cat, with cylindrical attachments and steel
claws and teeth, It is worked by clockwork.
a bellows inside swells up the tail at will to
bilIigerent size, and by tremolo attach
ment, causes, at the same time, the patent cat
to emit sll noises of which the living bird is
capable. When you want fun, you wind up
your cat and place him on the roof. Every
cat with half mile hears him, girds on his
armor and sallies forth. Frequently fifty or
one hundred attack him at once. No sooner
does the patent cat feel the weight of an as
sailant than his teeth and claws work with
lightning rapidity. Adversaries within six
feet of him are torn to shreds. Fresh bat
talions come on to meet similar fate, and in
an hour several bushels of hair, toe nails and
fiddle strings alone remain.

THE BIBLE.

Oh a
, This Book is all that's left me now.
Tears viii unbidden start:
With faltering lips and throbbiuE brow,
Pll clasp il, to my heart.
For many generations past
Here is our family tree;
NY mothers hand this Bible clasped,
She. dying, gave it me.
g Ahl we'll do Iremember this
Whose name these pages bore. ~
Who round the hearthstone used to sit.
( After the evening prayer t
And speak of what these pages said,
In tones my heart would thrill.
Though they are with the silent dead.
Here arc they living still.
Mydsthor read this holy book
To brothers. sisters dear;
How calm was my poor mothers look,
Who loved God'siword to hear.
Her angel face see it yet,
What thronging memories comei
Again that little group is met,
Within tho halls of home.
Thou struest friend man over knew.
Thy constancy Two tried: s-s
While all were false, / find thee true.
Ny counsellor and guide.
Tho minds of earth no treasure give
That could this volume buy;
In teaching me the way to live.
It taught me how to die.

The old-Fashioned Mother.

Thank God that some Of us have had an
old>fashioDed mother. Not woman of tho
period, enameled and painted, with her great
chignon, her curls, and hustle whose white,
jeweled hands never felt the clasp Of baby
fingers but q dear, old-fsshioned, sweet
voiced mother. with eyes in whose clear
depths the loye>light shone, and brown hair
just threaded with silver lying smooth upon
her faded cheek. Those dear hands, worn
with toll, gently guided our tottering steps in
childhood, aud smoothed our pillow in sieks
ness, ever reaching out to MS in yearning ten
derness. Blessed is the memory of an old
fashioned mother. It floats to us now, like
the beautiful perfume from some wooded
blossoms. The music of other voices may be
lost, but the enhancing memory Of hers will
echo in our souls forever.
Other faces may fade away and be forgot
ten, but hers will shine on.
When, in the ftful pause Of busy life, our
feet wander 10 the old homestead, and cross
ing the welI>worn threshold, stand once moro
in the room so halloWed by her presence, re-
pentance comes over as, and We kneel down
in the molten sunshine, streaming through
the open window-just where long years ago
we knelt by our mothers knee, lisping "Our
Father" How many times when the tempter
lured Us on, has the memory of those sacred
hours, that mothers words, her faith and
prayers, saved us from plupRing into the deep
abyss of sin. Years have filed great drifts
between her and US, bu. they have not hidden
from the sight the glory Of her pure unselfsh
love.

AN INTERESTING CATTLE CAsE.-During
the late civil war, the Legislature of West
Virginia passed a most remarkable law, au-
thorizing any loyal citizen who had lost stock
of any kind to sue and obtain judgment
against any responsible citizen who was en-
listed on the rebel side, no matter whether
he had any hand in taking the property or
not. The result was that judgments to the
amount of forty or fifty thousand dollars have
been obtained against Mr.. John T. Pearce, of
Hampshire county, we'll known rs tho largest
and most successful stock raiser in the county,
and who served in the Confederate army.
On Friday last Mr.. Pearce was driving 81
head of choice stock cattle over the North
western pike, en- route from Chicago to Hamp-
shire county, and at the point where the pike
runs into Garrett county, Sheriff Durham,
with posse intercepted them and levied an
attachment on the cattle, under the Maryland
laws, sued out by Ebenezer Kitzmiller, of
Garrett county, on one of the above judg.
ments. Pearce gave bond for the appraised
value of the cattle and replevied them until
the matter can be decided in court. The
case will be tried at the March term, 1878.

ABDUCTION.

On Sunday last child by the name OF
Pauline Harmon, ward of the State, who
had been placed by the Board of Directors of
the State Orphans Home, temporarily under
the care of Mrs Samuel Hollis of this city,
was abducted by some person or persons I'M
known. The child was taken to lodging
house and kept during the day, and in the
evening, carried by private conveyance to
Virginia Upon ascertaining these facts the
Board Immediately sent Superintendent
Webb to Virginia, who found that theschild
was held in the custody of woman by the
name of May Morris. She, it seems had had
charge of the child previous to its being sent
to the Home. She refused to deliver the
child to the proper authorities, and
WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS
Was served. The Court took the matter under
advisement, and upon the presentation of the
commitment, the child was turned over to Mr..
Webb, who brought her back to the Home
on last evenings train. The answer made by
the defendant was that the child was not
cared for properly. Whether this be true or
not she was in no way justified in abducting
the child, and should be punished to the full
extent of the law. Application should have
been made to the regular authorities and re-
dress if any, could readily have been obtained
from them. Of late there has been too much
interference ON the part of outsiders in regard
to children sent from the Home, and the Board
of Directors has been placed at great dis
advantage There is certainly no Board more
active in the discharge of its duties, and every
effort is made to do justice both to children
and those to whom they are given. In this,
as in the Clegg case, the Board has acted
promptly and wisely.

RUNAWAYS.

At noon yesterday team of spirited horses
attached to light spring wagon, containing a
lady and child, made dash up Carson street
with runaway intent. The driver being
temporarily absent, the occupants became
frightened and the lady gave vent to series
of screams While the frantic animals were
under full Roadway, threatening every mo-
ment to knock everything to pieces, young
man named William Harnden heroically
leaped into the street, and with wonderful
and herculean strength and agility swung
himself upon the back of one of the animals
and in short time secured control of the
vicious beasts This young man deserves
great praise for his courage and self sacrifc
ing instincts. The result of the runaway
might have proven very serious if not fatal to
the occupants of the wagon had it not been
for the noble nature of Mr.. William Harnden
Still another. c. Mohring of the Carson
Bakery is unfortunate A short time since
we recorded his I'M nries from the tearing off
of his fiery untamed steed. Yesterday after
noon about four, the same steed rushed down
Carson street at furious rate, calling out
about two hundred boys. No bones broken,
only the bolt in the swingle tree, and the ba-
ker grounded.

FROM THE SOUTH.

A letter received in this city from Aurora,
under date of 9th. inst, reports fourishing
state of affairs in that, up to within recently,
Rip Van Wrinkle camp The writer is con-
fdent that a future of great prosperity is in
store for Aurora OF Bodie he says that a
lively time exists there. Business of every
description is good, and to vary the hum
drum monotony of quiet routine, shooting
or cutting scrape is the the order of every
other day. How delightful. 1t calls up
pleasant "reminiscences of the early days of
Nevada. Last Saturday a man named Healey
cut anot her named Alexander Nixon in
twelve different spots; the stabs however, are
not of dangerous nature. These little pleas
antries are just of frequent enough occurrence
to lend certain degree of piquancy to life at

EMERSONS.

The agent of the Emersons, Mr.. T. T. Bird
called yesterday, and informed us that owing
to the fact, that it was imperatively necessary
for the troupe to reach San Francisco by
Sunday next, therefore their stay in Carson
must be limited to two days only, that is:
Thursday Nov. LIST, and Friday Nov. I'd.
There will be no performance on Saturday
evening and no matinee on Saturday after
noon, as previously announced. We need
hardly inform our readers that it is desirable
to secure tickets early, for looking at the box
sheet yesterday we found most of the numbers
had been blurred by Charley Parker's pen
point There will be full house, and the
Emersons deserve it, for they are par excel
lence in the burnt cork line. Burnt cork,
by the way, discourses some excellent music.

sweetest, most mellifuous dulcet tones. Go

Mr.. A. K. Conkling, of the Wheeler expe
dition, arrived in Carson yestesday in advance
of the party. He says they will be In in
about two weeks. He informs us that the
expedition has made an extensive tour locat-
ing boundaries and stations. Sixty topo-
graphical stations were established and fifteen
mining districts visited and reported upon.
An extensive tour has been made through
Nevada, Placer, Amador, Eldorado, Gala
veras, Tuolumne, Mono and Alpine Counties
in California, and Douglas and Ormsby in
Nevada The area of the survey extended
from the line of the c. P. r. R., around the
summit to the Mono road, and from there by
the way of Placerville to Carson on the
West, and Bridgeport on the East The gen
eral business of the expedition was retarded
by the disablement of the Topographer, W.
A. Cowles, but by the valuable aid of Lieu
tenant Macomb, who in addition to his exec
utive duties as the conductor of the party,
assisted by Mr.. E. L. Vail, the several top
ographical sketches were successfully made.
The land surveyed was principally mountain
GUS, very little arabic land except the mead
0ws on the east in the neighborhood of
Bridgeport. The survey extended to the
fertile foothills near San Andreas and is upon
the whole one of the most successful and sat
isfactory ever accomplished in this section of
the country.

we let the shoe fly to it's own destination.
The Kellogg Gary troupe will not appear in
Virginia on the 9TH and 9th of November as
The San Franciscans refuse to
let them off so soon, and they will continue at
the Grand Opera House through the first week

these artistes will appear in Nevada as the
Virginians have only subscribed 5000 of the
81, 900 required.
