KleptOma
New York Times, I

About eight years ago an alarm
reached the Chief Police Office in Lon
don that jewels of great value had been
stolen from lady of high rank while a
guest at quiet Northern country house.
A handsome reward was offered, and not
long afterward it became known that
the property had been recovered.
Astounding as it may seem, it is never
theless true, that the temporary appro-
priator of these fine things was a mil
lionaire Peer, who, albeit in nowise penu-
rious, is singularly simple in his personal
habits, and does not spend one-fourth of
his income. The matter was all hushed
up, and very few persons outside the
family knew who the thief, il we can SO
call him, really was. This was genuine
case of kleptomsnia, and proves beyond
doubt that it really exists. An English
Earl Of high distinction had this weak
ness from boyhood, and it involved his
leaving Eton.
When, in after years, he entered the
Cabinet, it was rumored that Lord -
had entirely conquered the propensity,
Except that at Cabinet council he
never could resist Dizzy's new green kid
gloves" The alarming disappearance of
wax candles at the Travellers Club, Lon
don, some years ago, caused much dis
may. The mystery was at length solved
by member of the Committee seeing
the old Duke G. with clear $3.50, 900
year) amblmg along corridor with a
candle sticking out of each coat-tail
pocket. His family were communicated
with, and His Grace ceased to come to
the Club. Possibly similar tendency
may perhaps explain an untoward Incl
dent which occurred last season at New
port, and has lately been recalled by a
concatenation Of curious circumstances.
There Is doubtless great deal Of sham
kleptomania, but it is not the less true
that some times it is perfectly genuine.
It is. however, very unfortunate to be at
once kleptomaniac and impecupious.

begs leave to introduce himself to the

permission to read him little manu-
script poem, entitled la Tote de Mort"
"Oh, OH" murmurs the illustrious pres
ence, 20 very sombre title! N'importe.
Let us hear it." And the kindly listener
settles down in his easy chair, keenly re-
garding the young lion, with his long,
tawny name and Intelligent dark eyes,
summing up the total of that strong,
satyr-like physiognomy, favorably i'm
pressed by it, doubtless, as all were.
At the third strophe the critic makes a
gesture Of arrestation. "Who has been
your modelf' he asks. ut is not by
studying Lamartine that you have writ
ten such verses" Lamartine was to the
young French rhymers what Byron was to
the English. "You must have read

"and if you have no objection you may

is interested, and little amused.

You are keeping up the old traditions!
I understand now why the hemistich
is so clear, the turn SO exact, the rhyme
SO smooth and 80 perfect. "Conclude, I
beg you" When the "Tete de Mort" is
finished, Sainte-Beuve rises from his easy
chair, Zone must remember he is a
Frenchman even before he is a great per-
sonage,) embraces the young poet, and
cries out rapturously: Excellent! Very

What joyous emotions must have over
whelmed his anxious heartl How
his hands must have trembled as
he returned the precious manuscript to
his breast pocket How difficult it must
perhaps have been to keep the tears backl
Somehow this little anecdote about M.
De Sainte-Beuve fills us with respectful
love and admiration for his character.
Greatness and generosity are not so often
found hand-in-hand, as one might i'm
agine them to be. Theophile Gautier's
first book of poems appeared without
any great eclat. 1t had the misfortune
to make its debut when all Paris was
convulsed by grave political events, and
men thought more Of printing musket
than commenting upon felicitous dithy-
ramb.e So the applause with which it
was hailed was drowned in the thun-
der of cannon and the rattle of the rifle,
and the poet remained comparatively
unknown.

some Chamberlains, who announced his

IElmffa AdvertiseEl
For the last year or two people re-
siding in and adjacent to the Township
of Catlin, this county, have been aware
of the presence of several wild animals,
which appeared to the few that have
actually seen them to resemble wildcats
or catamounts. During the present win
ter numerous artifces have been used to
capture them, one of which has resulted
successfully. .. rl.- e.-f
On Saturday, the 24th ult, John
Phillips, farmer living near Catlin
Center, in passing through the woods,
came upon the carcass of dead horse,
and discovered unmistakable signs of the
presence of the animals shortly previous.
He rugged up and set three large steel
traps, and fastened them with large
chains to trees. On Sunday morning be
visited the traps to find that his efforts
had resulted in the capture of o genuine
wildcat. After obtaining assistance
from the house, he endeavored to drag
the cat by the chain attached to the
trap, in which one of the animals legs
had been caught.
Finding this impossible, the party sue
ceeded in getting each Of its legs in sep.
arate traps, and dragging it to the house,
got it into a cage. The animal weighs
over 80 pounds, is 81 inches high, and
will measure 81 feet in length. On Sun
day night the traps were again set, and
on Monday morning early Mr.. Phillips
visited them again. He at this time
found that one of the traps held an AMI
NAL similar tn the other, but apparently
younger and somewhat smaller. This
animal was about 10 inches high, 2 feet
in length, and altogether more docile 10
its appearance. a
But it shows that 1t would hardly an
swer for pet. We are informed that a
dog belonging to one Of the neighbors at
tackled the animal, and before the dog
could be rescued the cat had literally
torn him to pieces, although it was ham
peredsby the steel trap and aheavy chain
at the time. One of the traps was miss
ing, and the chain (which was "a common
trace chain) was snapped asunder, prov
ing beyond question that another cat had
been caught, and was larger and more
powerful than either Of those secured.

One word as to luck. Whether we be-
lieve it or not, there is such q thing as
luck. We see one man for season per-
sistently holding bad cards, losing rub
ber after rubber and invariably being
found by his partner with nothing in his
hand. Nor is such misfortune due to
bad play. As long as honors count for
what they do in the rubber, a first-class
player, it is calculated, has only the ad-
vantage of one point in the game over an
Indifferent player. Still, in spite Of men
grumbling about their luck, and assuring
everybody that they invariably lose, take
cycle of three years and it will be
found that luck is very even in its oper-
ations. / have seen men who have lost
steadily throughout whole year, vet in
the next year they have more than re-
covered their losses. -2s .93
I have seen man lose thirteen rub
bers running; yet shortly afterward !
saw him win every night during whole
week. No man who has made legitimate
whist the occupation of his life, has ever
come to much grief. The men who have
been "broke" are those who play for
points they can not afford, and who have
not the funds to stand q heavy run of bad
luck; or those who, not content with
the points, bet largely, backing their
luck when they win, and plunging deep
er and deeper to regain their losses when
unfortunate. But legitimate whist.
that is, whist at points that man can
afford to lose and no bets-is the cheap
est pleasure that can be indulged in. 1t
offers one an agreeable rest after the
days labor, healthy form Of excite
ment and intellectual exercise without
fatigue. Ny advice to all is that of Tai
