She Found Him.
The following story is true in every de

The following story is true in every detail ::
A milliner of respectability married dis
sipated tailor, who abused. neglected and
abandoned her. Several years having passed
without clue to his whereabouts, her friends
advised divorce and her acceptance of an ad-
vantageous offer of marriage. The woman
persistently declined every offer. and when
she had accumulated a sufficient sum, started
off in the direction her husband was supposed
TO have taken when he left her. At Halifax.
n. s., she received slight clew, and took
the steamer to Portland, Me. Thence she
followed his track 80 New York, where she
ceased for many months to hear of him. Fin
ally she found that he was working in Albany.
for which place she Immediately started. She
was about week too late; he had been dis
charged for drunkenness. Spending her days
at lucrative work and her evenings at detec-
tive service, the unwearying wife at length
discovered that he was employed by a large
firm in Chicago. She wrote here. and was
answered that her husband had gone away.
nobody knew where. Not satisfied with this,
she travelled to this city and ransacked every
concern interested in the tailoring business
here, until she met fellow countryman who
said that her husband, when last heard from,
was in Omaha. She wrote there, got no an
swer but went on. There she learned that
he had left for San Francisco, where he had
obtained a fine place as cutter in large firm.
She of course went thither, only to be told
that her husband had been several days away
from work. and was drinking hard. lie had
not been even to his clearinghouse. This
led her to visit the station houses, and in one
of them she ascertaincd that her husband was
in Jail for ten days. He was released and
prevailed upon to return home after six years
absence. All this occurred eighteen years
ago, and to-day the prodigal husband of yore
is a strict temperance man in independent
circumstances. a model husband and father,

A, G. Swinburn on Cats,

Having just read it'll delight and editica-
ton the account of Martin" in your issue
of to- -day-an account worthy of a place in
that most charming of all books ever dedi-
Gated by great writer to the honor and glory
of beloved animals, the "Menagerie Intme"
of Theophie Gautier-I send you two stories,
as they were told to my boyhood, of cats con-
nected with my own family-in which, may
add, worship has been for years an hered-
itary legacy. One, when its master was
lying wounded well-nigh to death, watched
for many nights and days at the door of his
room; would not be lured or driven away,
till at last it was possible for the convalescent
| to receive his faithful and inconsolable friend,
whose ccstacy mayor rather, may nOt-be
| imagined. So much for the charge of per-
| sonal Indifference brought against cats by
those who prefer the promiscuous and obtru-
sive caresses or solicitations lavishcd by dogs
| on almost any stranger, to the choice and
constant affection which cats, with the instinct
peculiar to babies and themselves, reserve
with scrupuous self-respcct for those in
whom they recognize true reciprocal atten-
| tion-an unmistakable innate affinity.
NV second story illustrates only that at
tachment for places which is more commonly
recognized as a feline property. but illus
trates il in SO singular degree, that il may,
perhaps, be thought worthy of this passing
record. favorite cat--l know not whether
the same as the hero or heroine of the story
just given-was conveyed to London from a
country house in the depth of Northumber-
land, and missed Immediately after its arrival.
Aboat a week afterward it arrived at its old
| home, half starved, and wholly fallen from its
high estate as a cat of quality and distinction,
but recognizable by the household left in
charge, having smelt or inquired its way
back on foot along a course of some three
hundred miles which it had just before trav-
| ersed in a carriage for the first time.

from the deepest to the palest, thus affording
seven hundred and fifty thousand tints,
which the artist can distinguish with the
greatest facility. It might be imagined that
with the command of seven hundred and
fifty thousand tints of colors, the most varied
and beautiful painting could be perfectly
initiated; yet this is not the case, for the
mosaic workers find lack of tints, even
amid this astonishing variety.
