The constitution upon which the
people of California are soon to vote
prohibits stock gambling and seeks to
make it felony. If this could be done
without Interfering with the rights of
individuals or with legitimate bust
ness, it probably would not be a bad
thing-for California. The sort Of
stock gambling which is practiced in
that State is of the most demoralizing
character. II pervades all classes, and
its evil effects are as pronounced as
those of policy" dealing. The huc-
tuation Of the market may almost be
tracked by the corpses of tho suicides
who have been It's victims. The latest
of these is w. Il. Cassenbohm, first
assistant treasurer of San Francisco.
who shot himself on Monday. He had
used twenty thousand dollars of the
city's money to cover margins" fol-
lowing in the footsteps of the late
Alexander Austin, tax collector for
the same city, who was also a defaulter
for a large amount, and committed
suicide from inability to " cover his
margins, and so conceal his disgrace.
Stock speeuiatiOns caused the suicide
of Ralston and the fight of Henry
Meiggs, two of the most remarkable
men that California has ever pro-
duced.

Killed by a Meteor.

On Tuesday night last, Leonidas
Grover, who resided in the vicinity Of
Newtown, Fountain County, met his
death in a way that is probably with
out parallel in this or any other country.
Mr.. Grover was a widower, living on
his farm with a married daughter and
her husband. On the evening referred
to, the married couple had been absent
on visit to some neighbors, and upon
returning at a late hour, entered the
house, finding everything, to all appear
ances, in usual order, and suppoSing
that Mr.. Grover had already retired,
went to bed themselves. Next morn
ing the daughter arose, and having pre-
pared breakfast, went to the adjoining
room to call her father, and Mortified to
find him lying upon his shattered bed,
mutilated corpse. Her screams
brought the husband quickly to the bed
room, and an inspection disclosed a
ragged opening in the roof, directly
over the breast of the unfortunate man,
which was torn through as if by
cannon SnOC, anu eAIenulng uOWuWdIu u
through the bedding and floor; other
holes showed the direction taken by the
deadly missile. Subsequent search re-
vealed the fact that the awful calamity
was caused by the fall of meteoric
stone, and the stone itself, pyramidal in
shape and weighing twenty pounds and
few ounces, avoirdupois, and stained
with blood, was unearthed from depth
of nearly five feet, thus showing the
fearful impetus with which It struck the
dwelling. The position of the corpse,
with other surroundings, when found,
showed that the victim was asleep when
stricken, and that death, to him, was
nless.-IndianpoljS Journal.

Startling a Drawing-ROOm.

One of the most eminent pianists in
London having suffered much from the
irrepressible conversation of drawing
room audiences, devised the other day
a means of giving little lesson to the
town. He arranged with his violin, his
violincollo, and the rest that the music
should come to sudden stop in the
midst of the loudest passage of the piece
at q given signal from him. 1t was
done.
The bawling and shouting voices
were left, in the twinkling of an eye,
high and dry, as it were, upon a shore
of silence. Joyous, clear, and distinct
above them all rose a voice from the
foremost seats, the voice of lady-but
no, tortures shall not drag her name
from me! And these words were ring
ing upon the startled air: "We always
fry ours in lard !"-LOnd0n World

Singular Occurrence---A Cat Sucking
Rat.

Anovel circumstance and one worthy
the attention of students of animal ma
ture, says the St. Louis Republican, is
related by DR.. George w. Bennett, a
dentist at 804 Washington Avenue. The
second story of the number given is the
location of the Doctors dental rooms,
adjacent to which, and upon the same
floor, are the living rooms he occupies
with his family. A large cat has been
a household pet for some time, and not
long ago this cat gave birth to a litter
of kittens. The kittens remained with
the cat until well grown, but recently,
as they threatened danger to Mrs. Ben
nett's canary birds, were taken away
and the old cat so left disconsolate. After
the removal of the kittens, DR.. Bennett,
upon going into the kitchen at late
hour frequently noticed full grown
rat. which would scamper away at his
approach, through hole gnawed in
the kitchen door, and thence to some
hiding place in the ceiling above a

sleeping-room. There was nothing very
novel in this, but there was something
odd in the fact, always noticeable
at the same time, that the cat would be
lying stretched out upon the kitchen
floor, and that she paid no attention u
the escaping rat. DR.. Bennett men
toned the odd circumstance to his wife
and she suggested that, as the rat hac
only one known way of escape from the
kitchen, he should slip in quietly, close
the hole and kill the depredator, The
suggestion seemed a good one, and q
few nights ago DR.. Bennett slipped
quietly to the kitchen door to see if he
could catch the rat inside. He opened
the door without making a noise, and
looking in saw something which rather
startled him. The cat was stretched
out upon the floor as usual, purring
contentedly, and there, sucking away
like kitten, was the rat, remaining at
its place until the visitor made move
ment, when it darted away, escaping by
its usual route. No effort was made TO
kill it. DR.. Bennett thinking it too
cruel a thing to bereave the cat of an
adopted child, after taking away her
own offspring. The Doctor is certain
of what he saw, confident that his eyes
did not deceive him in regard to the
singular circumstance.
To which a correspondent of the same
paper adds the following:
noticed your remarks this morning
concerning a singular occurrence of a
cat nursing a rat at the residence Of
DR.. Bennett, S04 Washington Avenue,
and, as it is quite likely some may
doubt the occurrence, | desire to state
that the same thing occurred at my own
residence in Louisville, Ky, some 20
years ago. had cat that gave birth
to a litter of kittens in an empty barrel
in the cellar, and few days thereafter
a half-grown rat was discovered nurs-
ing the same as the kittens, and con-
tinued so to nurse as one Of the kittens
for a! week or ten days, according to
the observation of myself and family.
1t all of sudden disappeared, and the
cat became as disconsolate over its dis
appearance as if she had lost one of her
own litter; and, strange to say, few
days after the rat disappeared, myself
and family were one afternoon sitting
in our parlor when, to our great sur
prise, our cat came walking in with the
lost rat in her mouth, alive, and she
was as much elated as if she had found
a lost young one. We watched her
maneuvers, and she carried the rat up
stairs into ballroom in the third story,
placed it on q bed in said room, and
then went down to the cellar and car.
ried one by one of her kittens up to said
room and nursed kittens and rat there
together for week or more, when the
