THE Illinois Central Rr. Co. has sued j.
d. Harvey, Collector of Internals Revenue,
laying damages at $4,000. The suit
grows out of an alleged illegal assessment
upon dividend recently declared by the
company, and is brought to recover it back.
The assessment is made by the Government
under a law governing the case in each
instance where a dividend i. declared 10y a
road, and amounted in this instance to
nearly $4,000. The ground taken by the
railroad company is that the dividend was
made up of money from sources other than
the earnings of the road, and was therefore
not liable TO assessment.

An Old Woman and Her Cats.

A story was told at the last meeting
Of the Clerkenwell, England, vestry, by
the chairman, respecting an old woman
and her cats. When the question of re-
electing recipients to the vacancies for
the Leverington Charity for aged people
came under consideration the chairman
paid a visit to an old woman named
Thomas. who was on the list Of those
receiving relief from the funds. On ap-
preaching the room where Mrs. Thomas
living a strange spectacle met his
eyes. Before he could gain admit
lance he saw Mrs. Thomas engaged in
putting number OF cats out Of sight.
Some were being unceremoniously
chucked out upon the tiles, while others
were stuffed into a drawer. The room
itself, when he entered it, was in most
filthy condition, and by the side Of the
fire was sitting very old woman, al
most a skeleton, shaking as with palsy.
He was informed that Mrs. Thomas
bought two quarts Of milk every morn
ing to feed her cats. There appeared to
be a doubt as to how many Of these ami
mails she possessed. A parish officer,
who accompanied the chairman on the
occasion of his visit, accused her of
having no fewer than twenty cats in
the room. This statement was, how
ever, Indignantly denied by the old wo-
man, who called the officer a liar, and
said that she had only fifteen cats in
all. Many old women have mania

Flowing the Bottom of the Sea.

During the past summer, writes Bos-
ton editor, we witnessed deep sea plow-
ing in the harbor Of Belfast, Maine. The
bottom Of the bay is covered with q ten
acous, clayey deposit, into which the
steam shovel penetrates with difficulty ;
and to loosen it a huge Michigan pillow
was set at work under the water, drawn
hysteam power on the shore, using wire
rope to form connections. The water at
high tide was about twenty feet deep
when the pillow was working. The man
that held it was encased in the divers
armor, and supplied with air by dexi-
bic tube connecting with an air-pump on
board of q vessel floating above. He
came up at our request, and after remov-
ing his alright helmet, and conversing
q few moments, was again put in con-
nection with the pump, and disappear
ing under water, went on with the plow-
ing. This, to us, was n novel proceed

Tive Stories Of the Dead Letter Office.

A few months ago an application was
received for a letter which had ia
nous history. Forty-two years ago it
missed its destination and landed in the
Dead Letter Office. No call was made
for it. and there it remained in the
archives till the descendants of the
writer's, wishing to prove their right to
his property, obtained from old journals
the information that the deed had been
mailed st such q time to such person,
but had never reached its destination.
They then made application to the De-
partment for the letter. The odds were
80 greatly against thom that their sur
prise must have been boundless when
the old yellow document was returned
to them just as it had been mailed over
forty years before.
Every day there comes with the list
from Philadelphia a letter, inclosed in
q plain white envelope and addressed,
in the delicate chirography of woman,
to Edward T. Ewing" simply this and
nothing more. The lady never signs
anything but her initials, hence the let
ters cannot be returned to her. Here Is
the subject for romantic novel. One
can imagine 8 broken hearted woman
every day sending letter out into the
world TO her lost lover in the vain hope
that some day it may reach his hands.
She does not know his whereabouts, so
she sends her letter out, directed any
where, nowhere, hoping, yet despairing
of it's ever reaching him.
