Now, whie all so bright apptats.
Where in ali this vast dominion
Can We fad 'vae ot tears |!
Can it be that where the ocean,

That has kpo9D 90 human footprints
Nor beeksd 10 love Ii. smile;

CAT SoUP-Fr the past few months the
grounds about the State prison have been
overrun with cats The Warden was for a
long while in quandry as to what means to
employ to get rid of the pests, for they were
getting to be an intolerable nuisance A
Chinese trusty who became cognizant of the
existing state of affairs, and fearing a cat in
vasion, suggested that if permission were
granted him he could make short work of the
matter. The fact Of the matter was that the
cats were rendering the life of the officers
burdensome, and. the Chinaman, fellow well
known by the soubriquette of the chicken
Was enlisted to abolish the nuisance. In a
few days time the chicken caught and slaugh-
tered dozen or more cats, skinned aud sailed
them down, and made soup of them, which
was served out to the other Chinese convicts,
who relished it with an epicurean appetite.
Chicken and his fellow convicts would be will
ing to remain in the prison during their nat
ural lives if the same fare were always vouch-
safed to them.
