Story Of the Kilkenny Oats.

GAS quarrelsome as the Kilkenny eats"
has long been current as n proverb, grow
ing out Of story that two cats in the city
Of Kilkenny fought upon one occasion so
long and furiously that after the combat
was over naught remained Of the two bel
ligeronts save their individual tails. This
is maniiestly an cxaggeration; and when
our readers shall have learned the true an
ecdo:e connected with these famous eats,
they will understand why only the two
traditional tails were found, the unfortu-
nate owners having fed in terror from the
scene Of their own mutiliation.
We are happy to be able to state that
neither ireland in general nor Kilkenny in
particular is at all disgraced by the occur.
renee in question which did take place 10
Kilkenny, but which (under the circum-
stances) might just as naturally have oc-
Cured in any other place in the known
world
During the rebellion in Ireland 10 1898
Cor it may be in l803,) Kilkenny was
garrisoned by a regiment Of Hessian SOL
diers, whose custom it was TO tie together
in one Of their barraek-rooms, two cats by
their respective tails, and then to throw
them face to face, across line generally
used for drying clothes. The cats natur.
ally became infuriated, and scratched each
other 10 their abdomens until death EN-,
sued to one or both Of them, and finally
terminated their sufferings.

made acquainted with these barbarous act
Of cruelty, and they resolved to put an enc
TO them, and to punish the offenders. Ii
order to effect this purpose an officer wa
ordered to inspect each barrack room daily
and to report to the commanding officer il
what state he found tn, room. The crue
soldiers, determined not to lose their dali
sports at the expense of the wretched cats
generally employed one of their comrade
to watch for the approach Of the officer, i
order that the cats might be liberated an
take refuge in flight before the visit of tn
officer to the scene Of their torture. o

J heard ascending the barraek stairs Will
the cats were undergoing their customar
torture. One Of the troopers immediatel
seized a sword from the arm rack, an
t with single blow divided the tails Of Il
two cats. The suffering animals escape,
