Out OF Work.

This is the cry In every town and vii
lage throughout the entire country from
Maine to California, and still there are two
sides to the story, for nine out Of every
ten of the men who cannot find anything
to do, would not accept work at fair
wages if offered them. As sample OF
their earnest endeavors to find work, we
may cite recent instance occurring in
Indianapolis, Qnd) where several thou
sand men demand work or bread: The
proprietors of stone quarry at Vandalia
offered employment to large number of
these, and free passes were given for the
railroad. Eighteen accepted the passes,
but only five used them, and not one Of
the latter went to work. Is sitany wonder
that business flags and capitalists prefer
to loan money at three per cent. rather
than risk it where they will be at the
mercy of Trades Unions and untrust-
worthy laborers generally? No sooner
does man get the foundation of build
ing fairly under way, than the masons
and other laborers employed strike, and
force him to pay higher wages or lose
that which he has already invested.
A few days since the foundation stone
for new silk-mill was laid in Paterson,
N. j., and the next day the operatives in
all the other mills struck, declaring that
if business was good enough to insure the
building of another mill, it was certainly
good enough to pay better wages in those
completed; and this is the way it seems
to 60 in all branches of business, the Ia
borers blocking up the path preventing a
revival of trade and better times generally.
1t looks very much to US as though it was
the poor who were making hard times,
instead of capitalists and bloated mon
opolies; = at least, we know it is 80 in this
city, if not elsewhere.

Luck Of q Poor Prince.

From the Toronto Globe
No family has had a more sudden rise
in so brief time than that of the present
King of Denmark. Little more than
dozen years ago Prince Christian ofSchles
wig -Holstein Sonderburg Glucksburg was
one of the most obscure of the European
Princelets. It is true that he was the ac-
knowledged heir Of King Frederick VII.
of Denmark and the Duchies. But this
cousin was man in the prime of life,
little older than himself; Ii e was not next
in the succession even to the Danish throne,
and it was always possible that the resign
ing sovereign might revoke the nomina-
ton given to Prince Christian in favor OF
the Dukes of Sonderburg Augustenburg,
who had better legal title. It was al-
ways possible too, the King might marry
legally his morganatic wife, the Countess
Danner. The late sovereign had no love
for his successor, and provided very spar
ingly for his wants, so. that the heir.pre-
sumptive to the Danish throne was reckon
ed poor even in the thrifty capital of Den
mark. Indeed, if Copenhagen gossip ia
dozen years ago is correct, money was SO
scanty in Prince Christians household
that the Princess used to walk home
from the Court balls in order to avoid the
expense of a carriage.
Now all this is changed as if by magic.
The eldest daughter Of the King is Prin-
cess of Wales, the second is wife Of the
Czarowitch Of all the Russias, and the
younger son is King of Greece. The Co.
bures and the Glucksburgs between them
will soon be represented on well-nigh
every throne in Europe. It is only fair
to add that nobody could have borne q
sudden change of fortune better than the
Princess Alexandra.

The Story OF a Pet Cat.

10 tie eulIOr OF the SUN.-S1r: Wllle
reading the Ssm of Sunday, June 18th, I
found the article upon "csts." I beg
leave to differ as regards the danger of
having the animals around, especially at
night. When child I lived on the Hud-
son, and had cat that I used to play
with, dressing him up like baby, rock
ing him to sleep, and feeding him from
bottle. He was several times taken from
me, miles away over the country, but he
always returned, hungry and dirty, ap-
pearing contented to be with me once
more. Instead of struggling when I
dressed him, he would en- Joy the opera
ton, lying quiet as long as I remained
with him, but if tried to steal away he
would drag himself after me, hampered
as he was, by his long dress trailing, and
his paws through the sleeves.
When was ten years old, slept alone
in a room across the hall from my sister.
One night she was awakened by hearing
singular noise, and listening for mo
ment discovered that it proceeded from
my room. Entering, she found this cat
lying on my chest, with its mouth close
to mine, drawing in my breath with a
long, slow, sucking motion, producing a
horrid noise. Its eyes were like balls of
fire. My sister drove him away with
violence, he showing fight, and tried to
arouse me. was nearly unconscious,
and it was some little time, my sister af-
firms, before showed any signs of
life.
The cat remained with me, and was as
much Of pet as ever, only he was never
allowed in the rooms after dark. I have
never felt fear Of cats. They seem to
be charmed by my voice and touch
even the widest of them. Notwithstand-
ing, I should advise every nurse and
mother never to leave a child alone in q
room with cat, more especially at night,
for they do suck the breath of children,
and it would take only short time to
render child past any help, as shown by
my case. I also believe the bite of an
angry cat to be exceedingly poisonous. A
young lady friend of mine was bitten by
strange cat, and thought she would have
to lose her arm, the bite, apparently harm.
less, swelling, and the irritation reached
the shoulder. It was truly venomous
wound.
The cat I have now will try and talk
to me, rubbing his head against my face
and climbing from the floor to my shoul
der, by my dress, and yet he will bite anc
scratch me sometimes, when he feels like
it, and would draw blood if I did no,
keep on the watch, and punish hin
every time. I never tease him, so he ha:
no excuse, and is the most amiable CA
existing, apparently; therefore, urge, d.
not let children have kittens as play
things to squeeze and throw around, fo]
! they are not safe. AUNT1E KATE,

around Eytinge's table. Of course I did
not venture to let him do much on paper,
but still was in hopes of one day seeing

Then Eytinge seeded, went over to Har-

The Mistake that a Coyote Made.

From the San Francisco Post.
By the Senator which arrived yesterday
Mr.. Wolcott Of this city brought two
young black eagles for Woodwards Gar
dcns. He states that this spcciclof eagle
is rare almost to extinction. They were
secured by him on very elevated por-
tion of the Serpc range of mountains,
about seventy miles northwardly from
Santa Barbara. Having previously OBJ
served the parent eagles sailing down in
to the valley, he climbed tree twenty
feet above the ground before branch
was reached, and then ten feet more to
the nest, some of the sticks composing
which we're as thick as mans wrist.
With some difficulty he secured the
young birds, then about three weeks old,
and about the size of chickens. He sue
ceeded in decamping with them before
the return of one of the old birds, which
came back shortly afterward with a young
lamb in its claws. Though the old bird
saw Mr.. Wolcott, it did not see the young
eagles he had, or there would have been a
square fight. Returning to the house at
which he was staying, the birds were Sc
cured in pen and kept three weeks.
They are now about six weeks old, about
two feet in height and can dispose of a
jackrabbit OF 20 at meal without indi-
gestion.
A few days ago . coyote visited the
house and destroyed all the chickens
The eagles were then placed in the chick

coyote returned to get some more chick.

eagles wonld fill the bill, got hold of one
Of them, which also got hold of him by
inserting its talons in the nose of the lat.
ter, but was unable to drag him into the
pen, the coyote being equally powerless
to drag the eagle out. The coyote then
concluded that he did not want any
more eagle at that time, and expressed
himself to that effect loudly, but too late
inasmuch as Mr.. Wolcott's attention was
drawn to the spot, when he shot thu

was impossible that there could be more per-

cabinet, not only on the Southern policy but
on all questions. He said the president and
cabinet were thoroughly satisfied with the po-

the administration came from extreme wings
Of the two parties; that the moderate men in
congress who constitute a majority, would
rally to the support of the president. Mr..

The President states that he has not
yet decided upon the time which he will make
his visit to the South. Some of his friends
have suggested that by making the proposed
visit to White Sulphur springs about the 1st
of August, he will have an opportunity to
meet more of the representative men of that
section than he would by an extended trip.
The President says, however, he wants to see
the Southern country, to meet not only the
leaders but the people themselves. If the
President can so arrange it, he will make the
trip in the latter part Of August or fore part Of
September.
