Cat Culture.

Many years ago, Q speculative individ-
ual stocked an island in the Ohio river
with cats. Cat skins having CONNER
cial value, aud the crop being a moder-
ately sure one, the protector Of the enter
prise saw in his bright idea short cut
to an Independent fortune. The crop ex-
ceeded even the most sanguine hopes of
the speculator, and one night he and his
family left the island and the cats, sud.
denly and unexpectedly, The ferocious
felines, deprived Of their eustenance, fell
upon one another, and, following the in
evitable law of the survival of the fittest,
the stock rapidly disappeared, until but
one remained, and the survivor, tradition
says, died of surfeit. Now history has
begun tn repeat itself. An enterprising
man has purchased Mansfield Island, in
Lake Erie, and proposes to adopt feline
farming aud cat culture a. his business.
This opens new field for energetic work
ers. The furry envelope Of puss' anat
omy il an equivalent for money, and her
internal economy when agitsted by the
hair of the horse prOvOkes q conc0urse
of sweet sound and soothes the savage
breast.
Long time ago the vine was introduced
upon the Erie islands and now the fame
of their wine is household word. How
long will it be before Mansfield Island
cats will stand equally high with the vi.
nous product Of Kelly Islsnd3 As q
sure crop and one Of easy cultivation, the
cat is pre-eminent. Left to their own de-
vices they multiply rapidly. Give them
a little aid in the way Of eligibly situated
shed roofs, show them little attention
by an impartial distribution of boot
jacks, and should the season of the
moons visit be unvexed by clouds, fifty
and even hundred-fold will be returned.
As an aid to navigation and help to
the storm tossed mariner, this experiment,
if it reaches success, will be of no mod
est value. When the tempest lashes the
waves t" frothy fury, and when the styg-
ian night is lighted only by the titful flash
of the lightning, above the roar of the
wind will come the dulcet tones of the
serenading Tommies, and the sparkle of
the love lighted eyes of the woed ones
will pierce the gloom, giving the weary
sailor his bearings and warning him from
shore where dread catastrophe awaits
him.-Prairie Farmer.

A Young Couple In Sandusky.
Sandusky CO.. Register.

Sandusky CO., Register.
A young man and a young woman
are now passing through terrible or
deal of agoniZing suspense. They are
engaged to be married, and their fate
rests upon the decision Of the Presi-
Dental election. The young man is a
staunch supporter of Hayes, and the
young woman is firm friend of Til
den. They made bet, stalking no less
than their future happiness on the re-
suit Of the election. Such wager may
seem exceedingly foolish to cool-head-
ed older people, but in the heat OF all
exciting campaign, when both sides
claim the election, the young man and
woman whose minds are wandering far
off in Utopian realms cannot be eX-
pected to exercise the same judgment
that characterizes the clear-headed
politician. But the bet is made, and
the parties propose to stand by it to
the bitter end. They love each other
with all the feryor and passionate ar
dor of their young natures, and their
very souls seem to catch the insplra-
ton of each others presence. Those
| who have been there know how ii Is
| themselves. The lovers eagerly scan
the daily papers and devour with
avidity everything touching on
the vexed political question. The bet
which they made is as follows: If Til.
den should be inaugurated President,
the young man is to marry the young
lady; but if Hayes should be inangur-
i ated President, the young lady IL to
marry the Young man. The counting
Of the electoral votes and the an
nouncement Of the result is anxiously
awaited, as that, and that only, can de
eide which one Of the parties Is te
marry the other.

An extraordinary case OF usury IS
now being tried by the Correctional
Tribunal Of the Seine. The cnlprit is a
rich Englishman named Edwards. The
total amount of money lent by him
during the past two Or three years IL
put down at about 1000, 900. or at the
rate of 50 per cent. Among the num-
Der of persons who have had recourse
I'd the obliging purse Of Mr.. Edwards
figures Prince Taher-Bey-D lad
vino is described as "a Turk Of iInpor.
lance, and son-in-law to Mustapha-
Fazl-Pacha.' Having, like most OF his
countrymen, run Lhrourh his fortune
in Paris in 1874, our Eastern Prince, Il
appears, waited one morning on Mr.
Edwards and said, my dear sir, my
wife has just presented me with an
heir, and / desire to reward her with Q
gift worthy of ur rank. Will you OBJ
lige me.
OF course he was happy to do 50, and
forthwith lent him $4,000 francs al
his usual rate of interest. But this
birth of an heir Was only ruse to get
money. Prince TaheT had succeeded
In finding a jeweler willing to let hin
have 200, 900 francs worth Of diamonds
il he could pay quarter down, and a
soon as he got the diamonds he paWnet
them to Edwards for another 5O,00l
francs. The case is likely to lead II
| further piquant disclosures.

The Rev. DR.. Tying, Jr., recently
told his congregation that ii the ladies
Of his church would give up their
three-button gloves and wear one
button gloves instead, enough money
would be saved TO support an orphan
house whereupon, some of the ladies
suggest to their rector the possibility
OF saving out of the cigar money Of
the male members Of the church, from
the rector down, enough TO carry Oh
one or two asylums. They suggest
also that three-button gloves do not
make dirt, or any unsayory odor,
and that they have no deleteriou5
effect on the nerves of the ladies who
wear them; while, on the other hand,
the brethren would be cleaner, sweet
or, and healthier IL they would quit
the use Of tobacco, and give to the
causes of the orphans the money they
now expend ON this carnal gratiica-
ton. But the brethren cannot see it
through the smoky clouds exhaled
from their incinerated Havanas.

Labelling Live Trout.

Numerous experiments and cOntln-
ued observations made under the au-
spices of some of the practical plScl-
culturists belonging to the association,
have developed results full Of interest
and of much practical value. For in
stance, in reply to queries as to the
probable age of the mammoth trout
found III the Rangely lakes, Prof. Agas-
siz emphatically declared that no man
living knew whether these six and
eight Founders were ten or two hun
dred years old. To get some light up
on this question, Mr.. Page conceived an
ingenious device, which he at once pro-
ceeded to put into execution. Platinum
wire was obtained, cut into one and a
half inch lengths, and various numbers
were stamped on the surface from Il
to four. also the numbers 10, II, =, to
denote the year. AS trout were cap
| tured they were weighed, one OF these
| tags was passed through the skin just
under the adipose fin, and securely
twisted, and then the fish was liberia.
| ted. IN the course Of two or three
years. large number OF these trout
were thus labeled. OF course the
chances that any of them would ever
be caught seemed enthusiastically
small. yet in 1873 one OF them report
ed. In June Of that year, Mr.. Thomas
Moran, the artist, captured fine, Wig
orous trout weighing 2 IA pounds
Upon taking him from the landing net
the platinum tag flashed in the sun
light. Upon examination, the mari
sl-2-71.' was discovered, thus estab
fishing the curious fact that this par
ticular fish had gained | 3D. pounds II

AS an evidence of the dissolute
character of the Turkish soldier it is
said that in Constantinople itself there
is scarcely an English lady who has not
at some time been pinched or inten-

passing through the streets. Their
only protection is to follow the exam
pie Of the Turkish ladies, and when
out Of doors wear the winding sheet,
and keep their faces covered.

LONDON, Sept 22---Pitiful stories of the con

Balkans arc beginning 20 create indignation in
Europe. The dispatch Of Ahmed Velk to

has not had the effect OF putting stop to the
