How 4 LIE STICKs.--Somebody has
revived the old story about Baron Hum
boldt's having described Mr.. Bayard
Taylor as man who had travelled more
and seen less than any other person he
had ever heard of. The repetition of this
story ut this particular time curiously
illustrates the vitality of lie if it be on
ly malicious and witty. Baron Hum
bOldt never said any thing of the kind.
He took some pains to assure Mr.. Taylor,
and to assure many others, that he had
never thought or said this, or anythin g
resembling it, and had never heard of il
until il came to him from America. He
emphasized afterward his cordial regard
for Mr.. Taylor, and one of the best de-
scriptions we have of his later days is to
be found in the account given by Mr..
Taylor of his last visit to the Baron.
So much for the facts. Now for the orr
GIN of the story. A month or two before
II saw the light in an American newspa-
per, a rather seedy New York writer adj
dressed note to Mr.. Taylor requesting
from him a complete set of his works.
This amounted at that time (evcn al
wholesale rates. to request for Il gift OF
$40 or $50; and Mr.. Taylor, whose means
were then limited, and who knew no sort
of claim which the applicant had upon
him for such courtesy, declined. The
applicant was enraged, and boosted that
he would pay Mr.. Taylor for what he
conceived to be an atfront Within a
fortnight he coined this story and set il
afioat. The man has long been dead
and there is no occasion for fastening
his dirty trick now to his gravestonei
but the facts are so we'll known for many
years, that it is surprising to see the old
calumuy coming up aSajn.-E. y. Trib

A CAT STORY.

Anew Bedford woman was the own
er Of cat which she priced very much,
and which about three weeks ago gave
birth to four kittens. The lady, not
wishing to have such q large family of
cats, had three OF them destroyed ,leav-
ing poor Topsy with only one. On
finding that her kittens were gone, and
all efforts to find them were unavailing
Topsy took her remaining kitten by
the hack Of the neck and dropped 1t
into tub Of water, waited until life
was extinct and then very mournfully
jumped into . hogshead Of water
standing by and drowned herself.
