pINGLMiNoR NEWS.
A complete reply to the attack on Secretary
Sherman in regard to Custom-House con-
tracts is contained in dispatch printed
below. The Democratic Senators yesterday, by
a strict party vote, refused to appropriate
any money to pay the United States Marshals
for fees and expenses already due them. The
House is pushing forward its work, and
has finished consideration of the Post Office
bill. The provision curtailing the Star
service was defeated. A bitter political de-
bate Is probable On the Kellogg resolutions.

Yesterday.

Mighty Sudden,

An eminent divine from New England.
travelling in Texas for his health, impaired
by arduous clerical duties, upon ar
irving at one of the towns, went in search
OF the barber's shop for repairs and i'm
provements. On entering an establish
ment of this kind, he observed big double
barrelled gun leaning against the wall.
Having constitutional awe OF firearms,
he hastily asked tho barber If the gun were
loaded. A half-shavcd native, who occu-
pied the chair, turned around his lather-
beaten face and exclaimed: ''Strangerl If
you're IN an ill-fred hurry, you'll find a
six-shooter what Is loaded IN my coat-tail
pocket This recalls another story OF an
English tourist who proposed to visit, Ark
ansas, and asked a citizen if he ought to
provide himself with a revolver. "Wall, /"
replied the citizen, ''yo mout not want one
for amonth, and We mout not want one for
three months, but Of ever sye did want It
yon'd want II mighty sudden.

Deteotfng an Impostor.

While attending college. our friend An
derson filled up his vacation with school
teaching, finding opportunity to keep tho
late summer term of the village school at
Waterford. Things went on swimminglv.
The location was pleasant, the scholars were
go0d-natured, and the pay was fair. At
length, however, there came hitch. One
bright, balmy morning the scholars found
written upon the door of the school-housc,
In plain characters, "No sKuLE TO pA. "
The spelling was faulty, but the informa-
ton conveyed was cheering and away went
the jubilant youngsters over the hills for
days sport. On the following morning
tho teacher entered the school-room with a
portcntous frown upon his brow. The no.
tice of the previous day, under the cover
of which moro than half Of his school had
stayed away, had been the work Of an I'M
postor. And how was the impostor to be
dctcctcd2 A scrutiny of the sober, guile
less faces before him satisfied Anderson
that ordinary inquiries would effect nothing,
Gradually the frown disappeared, and he
went on with the usual exercises as though
nothing had happened out of the way. TO
wards the close Of the afternoon session, he
badc the scholars put away their bo>ks, and
take their writing states. He,would exercise
them In writing sentences. Several simple
sentences were gwen out and written down
Finally he gave them to write: "G0oa
b0ys fovc their 8chooi." When this had
been written the teacher proceeded to ex-
anime the states. About dozen of the
tow.hcadcd urchlns had submitted the
result of their efforts, and had their bad
spelling corrected. Next came Potter Mac
wash, a lad of twelve years, chubby and
rugged. His spelling was excellent. 1t
met the case in hand exactly. He had
spelt school---es-k-a-l-c." Peter could not
deny the charge thus cunningly fastened
upon him He was the imposlor. And
as reward for his callgraph effort upon the
school-house door, he had nice new birch
en- rod expended upon his back.

Tho Good Samaritan.

Oberlin, the. well-known philanthropist
of Steinthal, while yet n candidate for the
ministry, was travelling Oh the occasion
from Strasbourg. 1t was IN the winter
time. The ground was deeply covered
with snow and the roads were almost in,-
passable. He had reached the middle of
his journey and was among the mountains,
but by that time was 80 exhausted that he
could stand up no longer
lie was rapidly freezing to DEATH Sleep
began to overcome him; all power to resist
had left him. He commended himself to
God and yielded to what he felt to be tho
sleep of death. He knew not how long he
slept, but suddenly became conscious of
some one rousing him and waking him up
Before him stood wagon driver in his
blue blouse and the wagon not far away
Hc gavo him little wine and food and the
spirit of life returned. He then helped
him on the wagon and brought him to tho
next village. The rescued man was pro.
fuse in his thanks and offered money, which
his benefactor refused
''lt is only duty to help ono another. "
said the wagner, 'sand it is tho next thing
to an insult to offer reward for such a
service.
"Thcn," replied Oberlin, '.at least tell
me your name, that l may have you II,
thankful remembrance before God"
see," said the wagner, "that you are
minister of the Gospel; please tell me the
name of the Good Samaritan.
"That,' said Oberlin, 81 cannot do, for
1t was not put on record"
''rhen," ieplied tho wagner, "until you
can tell me his name, permit mo to with
hold minc.'
Soon he had driven out of sight, and
Oberlin never saw him again.

Wooden Bunlons,

The mcanest man lives in Fond du Lac,
and his name Is Captain Mangan. A few
days ago poor, unsophisticated corn doc
tor struck that town and began business
career. He was one of those innocent
minded, unsuspicious corn doctors that
stand on dry goods box on street corner
with lighted torch at night, and plead
for suffering humanity and twenty-five
cents He had no idea there were base,
designing men in the world, or he would
have entered the ministry and tired to lead
them to better life. He was a very beau
powers were rare and Of a high order. In
his audience, enc evening, was this Cap
tain Mangan we were telling about, who
was all through the war--not in the commits
sary department--and got shot full of holes
and manned for life. The captain told the
corn doctor that he had been great sufferer,
and money would bo no object If he could
get relief from bunion that was dragging
him down to a premature grave. The
young man came down of hIs dry.goods
box, remarking that he didn't want any
thing softer than that bunion, and Captain
Mangan pulled or his boot and sock.
There is no question but that the men who
make artificial feet and legs nowadays have
got the thing down to a science. The corn
doctor gave the foot close examination
as close as he thought was necessary -and
then turned away like one overwhelmed by
some great sorrow, some secret grief which
he cannot confide. to others, but must carry
hidden In his own bosom, while he walks
up and down the earth I'LL death comes to
! his relief I5,35 IS ,5t5 .ss &

Egyptian Cats.

The Egyptians are the first people among
whom we find notices of the cat. It figures
largely upon the monuments as domestic
pct, and was honored when dead. Comi.
cal stories are told by Herodotus of tho
anxiety to save the cats when house
caught fire, and Of the grief when one died.
The cat seems to have served as a retriever
In fowling expeditions, and even in fishing.
1t seems strange that no mention OF the cat
occurs In the Bible or In any Assyrian re-
cord. Even in India, Prof. Max Muller Ia
quoted as saying that it was but recently
known as domestic animal. Its Sanscrit
name Is marjara, from root meaning to
clean, from the creatures habit Of licking
herself at her toilet. Her nouslng habits
were well known to the Romans, and even
to the Etruseans, as shown by antique gems
and even wall-paintings The mopse-killer
domesticated among tho Greeks, called goLe
described by Aristotle, and humorously re-
ferred to by Aristophanes in the 'sPeace, /"
has been shown by Professor Rolleston to
have been our white breasted marten,
(Martee Joiaa,) a different animal from
the gale d9ra or iktis, which was larger,
and great lover OF honey as well as a
killer of birds. Mr.. Houghton dwells upon
the remarkably scanty occurrence in Latin
writers Of the word feNs or teles, Cicero
using 1t but once, and that when speaking
OF Egyptian cats, Ovid In single passage
speaks OF neurological Jetis, into which
the sister Of Phoebus was changed. Be-
sides the cat, the Egyptians dofnesticated
the ichneunion, popularly known as
Pharoh's rat, which is atill to be seen Ia
houses at Cairo. # 1t1.S q.

Professor callously said, 600 on; 20

then gently leaned over, with me six feet
from the ground, and while / shrieIxcd for

clash like IL hundred men in armor.
"PcrtidiOus villaln!" shouted, throwing

'My dear and excited Sir, for the last

Such was tho case, and now ride the
