A Cats Fearful leap.
Washington Post.


An adventurous and patriotic
eat assembled the Washington
Monument the night before last
by the stairs which are within the
shaft. Yesterday morning, when
the men went up to work, her fe-
line majesty took fright, and
springing to the edge took q ely
er" OF l60 feet. In the descent the
cat spread herself out like flying
squirrel ami lit on the ground on
all tours. After looking around q
little while it proceeded to leave
the place, and had almost gotten
beyond the shadow of the monu-
ment, when q dog that stays
around the base started for It, and
the cat, not being.in her best run
ming trim, was easily made a VIC
tim and killed. Had 1t lived, and
not been SO shy, the workmen say
they would have bought 1t a col
lar and given Il the freedom of the
monument. As 1t In. the cat will
be stuffed and placed in the Smith
sonian. with large card over IL
which bears this legend: "This
cat jumped on September 23rd,
1880. from Washington Monu-
ment and lived"

PETERsoN's MAGAZINE is on
our table for November, ahead of
all Others, and as usual, more and
more Improved. Its a wonder how
this unrivalled lady's book can be
published at so low a price, yet
always be getting better; but the
secret, we suppose, lies in its enor-
NOUS circulation. The November
issue leads off with q capital steel
engraving, "Missy In The Sulks.n
and Is followed by one of those
double-size steel fashion plates,
superbly colOred, only seem in this
periodical. Then comes a weird
engraving, "The Moated Manor
House," illustrating powerful
story; and then some fifty wood
cuts OF dresses, patterns In en-
broidery, crochet. &C., &c. "Mary,
Queen of Scots" is a profusely
illustrated article on that unhappy
queen; and there are tales besides,
and novelets, &C., &c. With this
number appears the prospectus for
1881. when six Original Novelets
will be given, and in addition a
hundred shorter stories, A series
of brilliantly illustrated articles
will also appear. Also Paper
Pattern for Dress, every month.
The price of" Peterson is but
Two Dollars A Year, or less than
any othes first-class magazine,
postage free. To clubs the terms
are even lower, viz: two copies
for So, 80, with superb, copyright
mezzotint tsize "a inches by 2O)
"Gran, Father Tells of Yorktown"
or an illustrated Album, Quarto,
Gilt, as premium. Or four.copies
for $3.50, and an extra copy of the
magazine itself as premium. Or
five copies for $500, with both an
extra copy and either the Engrav-
ing or Album for premium. For
larger clubs the premiums are
even more tempting. Noi0 is the
time TO get up clubs for 1881. Speci-
mems are sent. gratis, if written
for. Subscribe to nothing until you
hare seen q copy Of "Petersoa.'
