There are great many kinds Of cats on
hand and on foot just now, from ''the
harmless, necessary cat" of the housetops
and the freside-the grimalkin or gray
malkin of Shakespeare-to that terrible beast
the cat with nine tails, of which it appears
there are three species known in the British
armed and penal service. Our local do
nestle cat was the subject of some inquiries
made by HERALD reporter the other day,
which show how sympathetic and extern
sive IN interest is felt in an animal which
has popular reputation for some unamia-
BILE qualities. How many cats are there in
the United States? Statistical fends will
find in the determination of that point
noble field for labor. What is the use of
the cat? is another theme they might dwell
upon q great while without a satisfactory
solution. Now and then, we believe, a cat
kills q mouse; but is the destruction of that
mouse worth what we pay Tor it in the sup
port of cats? Doubtless the most important
service the cat does in this country is to the
joker of the period. Twenty or thirty para
graphers would be compelled to put up
their shutters if deprived of the midnight
cat and the consideration of his relation to
bootjacks, to poor sleepers, to serenaders
and some other subjects At least eighty
current jokes have no other metallic basis
than the cat But the cat of the British
Islands is the fellow for music not that he
is musical in himself. but he is the cause of
music in others. There are three British
cats-the ''navy cat, the marine cat" and
the prison cat" The prison cat has nine
lashes, each yard long, on handle nine
teen inches long, and on each lash are
three knots. Each knot, 1t is supposed
will make a separate lacoration at each fair
stroke. 1t is cat, therefore, with twenty
seven claws. If prisoner comes to the
scratch with this animal and gets twenty
on the bare back" he ought to retire with five
hundred and forty decorations of the skin,
in case the executioner is not delinquent
through squeamishness. But this animal
is mere kitten-almost q rabbit-by COM
parison with the creature which the Queen
uses on the backs of the heroes of her navy.
1t is recorded in heroic strophes that
"Frenchman can whip two Portuguese and
an Englishman can whip all three" and of
course the cat that is expected to whip him
in his turn must DO no gentle creature.

Our special despatch from London pre-
sents graphically an outline of the trouble
with which England is afflicted in extremely
stormy weather Indeed, the British eli
mate seems to have utterly gone to pieces,
and the moisture that ordinarily hangs in
the air over all England in the form of con-
genial and beloved fogs, precipitated
now by various atmospheric accidents,
has fallen upon the country in
rainy deluges that will ruin completely
all the farmers in many county. Bad in
deed is the condition of the country with
the rain that has fallen all this week, but
which is now nearly done with; but with
what CONSERVATION will the English public
hear the news in store for them, that in q
few days another rain storm will be upon
them again In the ''good old times
season like this would have been followed
by famine All the famines recorded in
history, or nearly all, had this origin but
now, thanks to the changed relations of the
countries Of the world which human intelli-
gence has brought about, the worst result
will be financial distress.

Great Gains In Grain.

It is estimated that six countries in Eu-
rope will this year be compelled to buy
three hundred million bushels of wheat,
and that France and England will need
three-fourths Of this quantity, while
Frances share alone will cost her one mill
lard of francs, or fifth Of the sum of her
famous ransom. In France, England,
Italy, Spain, the low countries and Switzer-
land the harvest is bad-not merely for
all kinds-so that those countries will not
only have to buy, but will have less than
common to buy with 1t is taken for
granted that speculation will carry the
price of all this grain to an important
point beyond that at which it ordinarily
rules. though we scarcely see how it can
carry it to the point estimated for France
by French economists; but if it reaches
that point the several countries named will
together pay about six hundred million
dollars for food to foreign countries-an
enormous burden upon their resources, and
one likely to stir to the last extremity the
latent discontents of the people. More

country. Southern Russia, Austria, the
countries on the Lower Danube, India,
Hungary and Egypt will divide the rest be-
tween them. Our country could supply
mora than half this deficiency, for our
crops are the most abundant ever known,
and could supply it at prices that would
undersell the world; but the Spectator
must make more than the farmer, and he
will run the figures up. The operations
this year will tend to greatly stimulate the
cultivation of wheat lands, and there is an
unsettled district in Northern Texas which,
it is believed, could supply alone as much
as Europe needs this year. In this years
experiences will be seen one of the great
results OF the rapid commercial commune
cation that rules in the world. All the west
of Europe would be afflicted with famine
this winter if this were not an age of tele-
graphs and steamships and the systematic
interchange of information.

A Sad Story.

sad and singular story comes to us
from Chicago In southern suburb of
that city, known as Hyde Park, three
maiden sisters have been living in good
style on the income derived from property
bequeathed to them by their deceased
mother. 1t is alleged that their father, who
was joint beneficiary with them, has re-
Gently succeeded in obtaining possession of
the whole estate and has LETT them penni-
less, although it does not appear in what
manner he has appropriated the money.
AS the story goes two of the sisters deter
mined to die together, and proceeded in q
most deliberate manner to make prepare
tons for double suicide. They are said
to have spent Sunday and Monday last in
preparing for death, and at six o'clock on
Monday evening carried their plans into
operation. Having confined themselves,
by mailing up the doors and win
dows of their house, they drove heavy
spikes into the easement Of the folding
doors, and, fastening ropes thereto, were
discovered hanging side by side when
the alarm was given. The youngest sister,
o dwarf, seems also to have contemplated
suicide, but not to have had the courage to
carry out the determination. sharp knife
was found in her room when she called for
assistance, which was not until after her
sisters had been dead for three hours.
There are Indications that all the sisters
were Of unsound mind, although they had
only been regarded by the neighbors as
eccentric in their manners. The survivor
is said to be in state bordering on actual
insanity. The people are naturally excited
over the event, and it is to be hoped that
the father Of the unfortunate women will be
able to explain his conduct in manner
that will relieve him of the terrible re-
sponsibility for the tragedy implied in the
statement given of its alleged cause.

When the greenback-nationals began last
year or the year before to declare that both
the regular parties were rotten, and that the
country needed above all things new
party, they scarcely imagined that both
the old parties would go to work
with great zeal to prove this asser-
ton. Yet this has been done, and we
shall be surprised if the greenback-na-
tionals fail to point the moral of the great
exhibition of political dirty linen which is
going on.
First came the Potter Committee and
proved that the republicans had committed
the most unblushing frauds in 1876; then
came the republicans and showed by the
cipher dispatches that their opponents
were as black as themselves. Next came
Mr.. Glover, and with his famous Smell
ing Committee" impartially showed up still
further swindling and rottenness on
both sides he labored so pertinaciously
that his famous report has become a mine
from which the organs of both parties are
extracting what has the glitter of very rich
ore. And now comes n ponderous exhibit

carried the election Of 1876, but by most
unheard of frauds.
If one could believe all he reads in the
organs of both parties in these July days
he would be persuaded that our political
leaders are set Of the most atrocious
scoundrels who ever went unhung. And,
alas! there is yet full year before We shall
have fairly entered into the Presidential
canvass. The democrats ought to see by
this time that the celebrated fraud cry" is
one that both sides can USE They will
probably reply that it is no novelty for q
pickpocket running away with country
gentleman's watch to cry out stop thief y
but people have not forgotten the cipher
despatch business.
The independent voter. whose organ the
HERALD is. will reflect that when neither
party has any other cry than ''Fraudr' it is
q sure sign that both are afraid to touch
the real questions of the day or, perhaps,
that the country could get on very happily
without politics for n while, or, at least,
without the kind of politicians who are
making oil this fuss.

the Northern democrats because these have
constantly, for three years, refused them
almost ali these things, and on the distinct
ground that the federal government ought
not to interfere in such matters. Repub-
licans may say that they will not buy
support, but that is nonsense. All
these are. according to republican views, le-
climate objects of government support.
They have only to declare a policy in con-
sonance with their political principles to
sweep the great part of the South next
year, and make their party a truly national
organization, strong enough all over the
South to set at rest forever all questions
about the negro.

Washington Galley News.

Man-of-war's men have cant phrase to
denote the floating gossip of the ship.
which takes the place of real intelligence.
They call it galley news" because it is the
talk of various underlings who congregate
about the cook house, which in sea par
lance is the 'galley." Our regular Wash
ington correspondent sends u.s., in the
dearth of real news, this morning a
batch of such galley news. He relates
conversation between several clerks of the
Treasury and War Departments, who, on a
hot summer day, beguile the idle hours by
telling each other what they think, or
rather, perhaps, what they think they
think, about Presidential s'booms" and war
secretaryships, and various other matters
which look far more important in Washing
ton than they do in any other part of the
country.
1t would be an amazing thing to find a
clerk in Washington department who did
not know intimately all about the Presi-
dents intentions. wishes and plans; and
the ridiculous assumption of these FIVE
cent politicians was never better shown
than in our correspondents account of the
talk of two or three Treasury clerks as
they sat with their feet on their desks,
tanning themselves into languid excitement
over the SHERMAN BOOM" and disclosing
the supposed intrigues of their superiors.
We are to believe that these understra ppers
are deep in the confidence of the President
and his Cabinet; nothing is hidden from
them, and they lay out the future with
the unfaltering precision of a seventh son
of seventh son. 'Hayes"-we notice that
this kind of cattle always in their private
gossip speak Of the President as Hayes, and
of the Secretary of the Treasury as Sher-
man, to show probably their init
macy with these gentlemen-'Hayes, 4"
they say, is now engaged in securing
the whole Southern democratic vote for
SHERMAN" by appointing half dozen or
so impecunious Southern men to petty
clerkships in the departments and he is
employing General Sickles to manipulate
secure him a Pennsylvania for Secretary
of War who will help the SHERMAN boom"
There is more of this twaddle, which comes
from a kind OF people who cram the de-
psrtments in Washington and who fatter
themselves and each other by imagining
that the whole policy of great country
turns about the selection of some John
Smith or another for twelve hundred dol
lar clerkship.
We should be sorry to think that the
President was silly as to be trying to
gain over Southern men by the gift of petty
clerkships. We do not doubt that he
would like to create an honest and influ-
entail republican party in the South, but
he and MIR. Sherman both know that this
can be done by policies and not by offices,
and least of all by department clerkships.
How to make the republican party national
party we have discussed elsewhere.

The Indian War.

Our special despatch from Fort Keogh,
Montana, points to the probability that an
important battle between Sitting Bulls
Sioux and the troops under General Miles
was fought some days since. Advanced
bodies of the two forces were in collision
on Thursday last near the mouth Of Beaver
Greek. General Miles had then, perhaps,
not left the line Of the Missouri River, and
Sitting Bull is supposed to have been on
United States territory, but not far from
the Canada line. Four hundred of his
braves-one report says three hundred
had advanced so near to the river
as to run against General Miles
advanced Indian scouts, commanded
by Lieutenant Clarke. With Clarke were o
company of the Fifth infantry and a COM
pany of the Second cavalry. They drove
the Indians twelve miles and until the In
dams in retreat reached their supports,
when the tables were turned little and
our men were surrounded. But the main
body of Miles command was not far away,
and. coming to the rescue, drove the In
dians again for greater distance than be-
fore, but lost them. AS, however the re-
port anticipated confidently that q fight
with Sitting Bull would follow next day,
the fellows lost on the 18th were certainly
found then, for apparently this advance
party of Indians was sent out with the in
tention that the troops should find them
and draw them to some well chosen battle
ground Of the willy savage.
