Cat Fur.

No longer are cats to be doomed to
drag out useless existence and waste
their midnight melodies upon unappre-
ciative ears, for haven of rest is about
being prepared for them on Mansfield
island. Lake Erie. A purchase OF
that island has been made by man who
intends to stock it with black cats, take
excellent care of them, and kill their
progeny for their fur. He will feed
them at first on fish caught off the
shore by men who will live on the island;
but after the enterprise is well started,
by a rare system of economy, he will
utilize the meat of the slaughtered cats
as food for the living cats.

Buying q Wife.

A singular story of purchase of n wife
comes from Liberty, Ind An old man
named w. M. Smith, aged 20, became a
widower some two years ago, and had
since lived in entire seclusion. A few
weeks ago he announced his desire to
marry again, and offered 5000 to any
one who would furnish him wife. The
announcement created some little merri-
ment Mt the time, but nothing further
was thought of it till few days ago,
when it was announced that the old man
was married to Miss Phoebe Johns, a
highly-respected young lady, aged II,
living in the neighborhood. 1t appears
that the old mans offer, made several
weeks ago, was at once taken mp by
Powell Slade, with whose family the
young woman lived, and who commenced
negotiations by which the purchase was
made, Slade receiving the 5000, 81, 900
which was paid to the girls father, the
girl herself receiving as an inducement n
deed from the old man for his farm of
200 acres, very valuable land. The ne
gotiations completed, the wedding oc
CURED in the presence of number of
guests, grand supper being one of the
conditions imposed by the bride before
consenting to the sale.

A BRITISH PAGEANT.
The Programme for the Opening of Paria-
ment by the Queen.

The Programme for the Opening of Pariia-
ment by the Queen.
The WhitehdU ReUietU publishes the
arrangements for the opening of Parlia-
ment on Thursday, the 9Th of February.
The Queen will leave Buckingham palace
shortly after o'clock in the royal state
carriage, drawn by eight cream-colored
horses which are used only for these oc-
casions. With the exception of one car
riage (that one Immediately preceding
the royal equipage), which will be drawn
by six black horses, all the other car
riages will be drawn by the bays. The
sovereign will be accompanied by Prin-
cess Beatrice. Her Majesty, who, until
the death of the Prince Consort, used to
pass through the grand entrance of the
House of Lords, will alight from the
state carriage at the Peers entrance,
where the Queen will be received by the
Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain Gord
Aveland), and the great officers of state.
AS in previous years there have invaria-
bly, been many complaints by Peers and
Peeresses of the extreme crowding
around the door by which those person
ages enter the House of Lords, both on
their arrival and departure, it has been
deemed advisable to augment the num-
Der of police stationed in front of the
upper house. In all there will be upward
of ZOO constables between Buckingham
palace and the House of Lords. Those
who have experienced the difficulties and
discomforts of getting away from the
House of Lords after the royal ceremony
will doubtless remember why, on the
next 9Th of February, some arrangement
could not be made which would render
the task of getting away from the Peers
Chamber an easier one than has hitherto
been. Under existing circumstances. a
practical suggestion ON this point may
not be considered out of place. Just be-
yond Victoria tower there is large open
space, altogether unused at present, and
likely to be so for some time to come.
This vacant area might easily be made
available as an immense waiting-place
for carriages on the day of the opening
of Parliament, with results which would
be eminently satisfactory to all who have
assisted at the ceremony.

the peculiarities of the climate causes

MY LITTLE MILLIONAIRE.

Demanded the how, when and where

Yet, dearest, II riches are counted

Gold locks, ruby lips, hearts rare treasure,

And though when we talk about money,

Since all that know of "bonanzas'
Lies just in my brain and my wrist;

Of rare, sterling wealth, declare
