Cats Whiskers.
From Cassells Natural History.

From SASSeti history.
The sense which of all Others is most
deficient in the cat is that of smell. In
this she differs greatly from the dog. 1t
is said that piece of meat may be
placed in close proximity to a cat, but
that, if it is kept covered up, she will fail
to distinguish it. This want is, how
ever, partly compensated for by an ex-
tremely delicate sense of touch, which is
possessed, to a remarkable extent, by the
whiskers, or vibrissp, as well as by the
general surface of the skin. These
bristles are possessed to greater or less
extent by all cats, and are simply greatly
developed hairs, having enormously swol-
len roots, covered with layer Of mus
cular fibres, with which delicate nerves
are connected. BY means of these lat
ter, the slightest touch on the extremity
of the whiskers is instantly transmitted
to the brain. These organs are OF the
greatest possible value to the cat in its
nocturnal campaigns. When it is de-
prived of the guidance afforded by light
it makes its way by the sense of touch,
the fine whiskers touching against every
object the cat passes, and thus acting in
precisely the same manner as blind
mans stick, though with infinitely
greater sensibility. Imagine blind man
with not one stick, but couple of
dozen, of exquisite fineness, and these not
held in his hand, but embedded in his
skin, 30 that his nerves come into direct
contact with them instead of having a
layer of skin between, and some notion
may be formed of the way in which cat
uses its Whiskers.

The Statue for New York Harbor.

The colossal statue of Liberty Light
ing the World" erected by France and
America in remembrance of their old
friendship, is coming out little by little
from the immense shops established ex-
pressly for its construction in the Rue
de Chazelles No. 25, near Monceau Park.
The arm and hand holding the torch are
already in America, and at present the
sculptor, Bartholdi, is finishing the prin-
cipal portion of the head. The plaster
model is nearly completed. In short
time it will be stripped of the scatfold-
ing which surrounds it, and upon which
several gangs OF men are at work. The
first sentiment inspired by the enormous
head, nearly thirty feet high, is almost
terror. It's gigantic dimensions are stu
pefying; but by degrees the eye becomes
accustomed to the colossal forms, and the
mind reconciles it to the extent of those
great lines, and we discover in the midst
of them the majesty and the light which
the author has endeavored to give to the
features But the public will soon have
an opportunity to see the beauty Of this
work, for the head of the statue of Lib
erty is to be exhibited at the Paris ex-
position. Nevertheless, We strongly adj
wise everyone beforehand to visit the
establishment of the Rue de Chazelles
and see how the different portions of his
head are prepared, worked and adjusted.
NJ. Bartholdi is making copies in plaster
of his statue of Liberty. Two hundred
of them only will be executed, number
ed and registered with the name of the
purchaser, who may in this way preserve
a souvenir of this magnificent monu-
ment commemorative of the centennial
anniversary of the independence of the
United States, and destined to renew
and enliven the old friendship between
France and merica.--.YI.Yseme Steele.

The Verdict of an Alabama Jury.
From the Congressional Record.

Mr.. Cravens. In conclusion appeal
to the lawyers of this house, from every
quarter and section of this Union, to say
whether or not the majority report in
this case is in accordance with the in
structions of the house and whether the
position taken by the minority report is
not correct. Have these gentlemen of
the majority reported upon the guilt of
Mr.. Polk in connection with these
charges, as they were directed to do?
say they have not. l say they have dis
obeyed the direct order of the house, to
about the same extent jury did the
instructions of the court in a celebrated
case in Alabama. In that case q party
was accused of larceny, the property
charged to have been stolen being hog.
The court instructed the jury that the
value of the hog must be assessed, be.
sides there were no degrees in larceny,
and directed them to retire and bring q
verdict in proper form.
The jury retired and there was some
hot debate in the jury-room A. tn what
was the proper form. But there hap
pened to be an old Georgia justice of the
peace on the jury who was the foreman,
and saw through the situation at once.
He returned to the court with the fol-
lowing verdict:

ninth annual report OF the PORK pacA,ng IN
the west was published on the 1lth. The
total winter packing in the west was &, $685..
900; average net weight 226 400 pounds !;

GENERAL.
The congress of the United States of
Columbia has provided that the nation shall
at its own expense, send to the United
States, Switzerland, Germany or England, a
number of workmen from each state, in pro.
portion TO its population, that they may ac-
qure knowledge of mechanical arts, and
afterward diffuse the same in their own
country.
THE chiefs OF the Kiowas, Comanches
and Arrapahoes, with their warriors, fifty.
nine in number, confined at st. Augustine,
Fla, for the past three years, arrived at
Fortress Monroe on the 18th instant, and
started west in the evening. Seventeen,
however, remained at the Hampton normal
school. Among the chiefs were Lone Wolf,
White Horse, Black Horse and Eagle Horse.
THE Third National Bank, of Cincinnati,
began on the 18th inst, to redeem its notes,
on presentation, in gold. 1t is expected that
the other national banks throughout the
country will adopt the same course.
DISPATCHES from nearly two hundred
points in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka and Missouri, covering the whole of the
western spring wheat region, show, when
summarized, that the average is nearly fifty
per cent. greater than last year; that the
condition and prospects are better than at
any time since 1860; that the seasons work
and vegetation are three to six weeks ahead
of the usual time, and, that there is an aver
age of fifteen to twenty per cent. of the old
crops on hand.
GEORGE TYLER BIGELow, Ill. D., ex.
chief justice of the Supreme Court, of
Massachusetts,, died on the 10Th inst.
1T is said that the investigation OF the &C.
counts of the Agricultural Insurance COM
pany, of Ottawa, Canada, shows the late
secretary and treasurer. J. Blackburn, to be
defaulter to the extent Of $4,000.
EDWIN MIDDLETON ALMoNTE, the first

Ted Almonte, died recently of quick con-
sumption, aged So.
BISHOP ANDREWS, of the New York Meth
odist conference, has decided that the Ii.

The following letter from Mrs. Tilton
appeared in the New York papers on the
morning of the 10th;
4Mr. Ira b. Hheeler.
MY DEAR SIR: A few weeks since, after
long months of anguish, told, ~ you know,
a few friends whom had bitterly deceived,
that the charge brought by my husband Of
adultery, between myself and the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher was true, and that the lie
had lived SO well the last four years had
become intoierable to me. That statement
l now solemly reaffirm, and leave the truth
with God, to whom I also commit
myself, my children and all who
must suffer. / know full well
the explanations that will be sought BY
many for this acknowledgment, a desire to
return TO my husband, insanity, malice,
everything save the true and only one-my
quickened conscience and sense of what Is
due to the cause of truth and Justice. Dur.
ing all the complications of these years
you have been my confidential friend, and
therefore address this letter to you, au-
thorizlng and requesting you to secure its
publication. (signed)
ELIZABETH r. TILTON.
BROOKLYN, April Is, 1873.
Mr.. Beecher was out of the city,
when Mrs. Tilton's letter was made
public, and his whereabouts was not
known save to a few friends. The
New York Tribune telegraphed him a
copy of the letter at late hour and re-
ceived the following dispatch in reply
from Mr.. Beecher:
WAvERLY, N. r., April Is.

an explicit and absolute denial. The tcsti-
mony to her own innocence aud mine, |
which for four years she had made to hun. |
dreds, in private and public, before the |
court in writing and orally, declare to be
true. and the allegations now made in con- |
tradiction of her uniform, solemn and un. |
varying statement hitherto made, utterly |
deny. / declare her to be innocent of the |
great transgression.
