Pats ''DiYershin.n

A story is told Of an Englishman who
landed at Dublin, few months ago,
filled with apprehension that the life of
any loyal subject of her Majesty was
not worth a farthing there and there
abouts. The Land Leagucrs, he imag-
ined, were all bloodthirsty assassins,
and all that sort of thing. But it was
his duty to travel in the land-a duty
he approached with fear and trembling.
Now there happened to be on his route
a number of towns the names of which
begin with tho suggestive syllable
xii" There were Kilmartin, and SO
on. In his ignorance Of geographical
nomenclature, his affrighted senses
were startled anew on hearing fellow
passenger in the railway carriage re-
mark to another as follows: ..Tm just
afther bein' over to Fitzpatrick Sand
l." replied the other, ..am afthcr bein'
over to Kilmary.'' what murderers
they are! thought the Englishman.
"And to think that they talk of their
assassinations so publiclyr' But the
conversation went on. ..And flare are

The Life of Garfield.

The announcement that Mrs. Garfield
is TO supervise the biography of her latte
husband. will of course give an addi-
tional and unique interest to it. She
will not undertake to execute it herself,
but to superintend the execution. If
one may trust the stories of the nateri-
ais for it. it will be very valuable as
we'll as interesting work. Large num-
bers of boxes are said to be filled with
letters received by him during his po-
litical life. The letters are all classi-
fed, briefed and arranged after sys-
tematic method. In addition to these
Mrs. Garfield has copies OF. drafts of
many of his answers TO them, as well as
large numbers of diaries kept and in
dexed. Some of these are shorthand
notes, so that it is difficult to imagine
circumstances more favorable for pro-
duction of biography and a history of
the times. 1t is not surprising to learn
that the publishers are already compe-
ting for the opportunity of publishing
it. Mrs. Garfield's sympathy with her
husband and all his plans, as we'll as
her intelligence and literary ability,
ought to result in work more inter-
esting and quite as famous as Martins
Life Of the Prince Consort, of which
Martin was the nominal, Queen Vic
toria the real, author. d

The Place Where Cats Can't Live.

Jim Townsend, OF Lundy. has been
making some experiments with an Or
binary domestic cat. 1t has been re-
peatedly stated that cat could not
live at an altitude Of $4,000 feet above
the sea. Mr.. Townsend has demon
strated that such is the fact. On Mon
day last he and another gentleman
made the ascent of Castle Peak, which
is little over $4,000 feet high. They
took with them -Thomas-that
was year old, and had lived at an al
titude of 6, 1000 feet with no symptoms
of disease. Mr.. Townsend had the cat
in box, and as they went up he took
observations and noted very carefully
its every movement. When the sum-
NIT was reached they pitched their tent.
This was about 2 o'clock in the after
noon. The cat partook of some food,
and after playing for an hour or so, fell
asleep and did not wake up again until
near midnight. When it did recover
consciousness it set up bowling and
appeared much distressed. Townsend
pitied it and endeavored 10 make it feel
at home, but of no use. 1t kept up its
constant moaning and displayed symp-
toms of having fits. When morning
came the cat was offered food, but it
refused to eat. and acted even more
strangely than during the night. Town
send says it would open its mouth as if
gasping for breath; would Jump about,
and then 60 to sleep and wake up with
start. All this while close watch was
kept and every movement noted. At
5 o'clock in the afternoon the cat died
of exhaustion. = Bodie (Cal.) Free

a Night With a Mailman in an Arkansas

Commercial travellers. hat dozen
of them. Were exchanging experiences
on the road in u hotel corridor, when
Mr.. Andrew Monroe told y story which
fairly eclipsed all the other tales. Mr..
Monroe is just back from Arkansas.
and in the course of Ills journeyings
found himself under the necessity If
walking from one town to another in
Polk comfy. He had arranged for a
wagon, but his driver failed him at the
last moment, and he set ont on foot,
being anxious 10 make the destination.
''Night came On,'' said Mr.. Monroe, as
he told the story:
"A heavy rain came up; the rain fell
in torrents. The road, Which had been
described rs perfectly plain, narrowed
into path. The moaning of the wind
and the rain falling on the leaves made
me feel uncomfortable. I reached a
log cabin near the bank of small
stream. The sight of human habita-
ton thrilled me. Ientered, but found
no one: A dull. smouldering fire
burned in large fireplace. Seating
myself on slab bench waited. Pres
emily an cd man entered. He was old,
but of powerful mold. His shoulders
were broad, and his arms, from which
his shirt sleeves were rolled, were pic
lures OF sinewy perfection. He mere
ly nodded. When asked him ques-
ton as to whether or not I could re-
main in his house during the night. he
again nodded and left the room. The
rain increased. The old cabin home
was not alluring in its comforts, but
ANYTHING was better than the woods,
darkness, intense and impene,rable.
The old man came in again with a lamp
and an ak. Turning. lie locked one
door, and placing his lamp on the shelf.
he locked the other door. Then, with
q fearful howl, he sprang upon me, and
with rope which he had concealed
about him, bound me. He stood me
up like a ten-pin, and taking up lis ak.
said:
You ran away with my wife and
am going to kill you!''
Il begged piteously. He raved.
What have you done with her?' he
demanded.
II told him that I was his friend and
that ! knew nothing of his wife, bnt be
raved again and raised his AK. Hold
on cried, If you wait until to-mor-
row I will get your wife for you He
dropped his ak and eased me to the
floor. l slept in painful d. yes. The
old man lay near me muttering. When
morning came the old man unbound
me and pointed to the woods. did
not wait for second sign. After q
painful search found the road. Meet
ing q man, related my experience.
and was informed that the old man was
crazy, and that he imagined some one
had stolen his wife, but that the poor
woman was sleeping her eternal sleep
under the broad hearthstone Of the cab.

A Girls Tact and Courage,

The Revolution of 1776 not only tried
mems souls, but the women's also.
Many anecdotes are still told which IL
lustrate the tact and courage of noble
women, who sacrificed much to the col
onies' independence. O,e of these an
ecdotes, the scene Of which is laid in
Flatbush, New York, shows the strong
sympathy of a girl of sixteen for the
patriots cause, and her courage in ex-
hibi1ing it. ~ "
Kings County, Long Island, was for
4 long time during the war occupied by
the British. Soldiers were quartered
upon the inhabitants, to whom policy,
therefore, dictated wise reticence as to
their sympathies. But one girl would
not disguise her sentiments, though her
mother often checked her boldness.
One day line of artillery wagons
was passing. The driver of the fore
most wagon, anxious t. avoid mud
hole, turned his horses upon The side
walk, in front of her house. OF course
all the other drivers would follow his
lead. The sixteen-year-old girl deter
mined to prevent this Dissertation,
rushed out of the house, and so fright
ened the team which followed that the
horses overturned the wagon. There
was storm which required the pres
ence of the mother to allav.
But an old German doctor, attached
to one of the English regiments, saw
the girls attack, and lau he. immoder-
ately over it.
20, vat heroine vas our Ieetle Fem
metia!' he said, laug i:,~l;'. to Hes
sian officer. ''She ait c: desc big ar
tillery men! She attac's linn wis a
broonstick! She is one brave leetle
lady!'
Notwithstanding the presence of the
British troops, the patriotic citizens of
Kings County loaned large sums of
money for the advancement of the
American cause. An az mt went around
secretly collecting the money. as his life
would have been taken if he had been
caught.
One day the girls mother was count
ing out 4 sum of gold to this agent.
Looking up, she saw y British officer
enter the dooryard.
ter, ''hurry out and meet that officer,
and don't let him come in this room, as
You value your life. Don't fail us now,
child"
The daughter obeycd. She met that
officer, and was so entertaining that he
did not seek 10 enter the house until
after the money had been gathered, and
the agent hidden. It was tho first and
last time that her mother complimented
her for entertaining a British officer.
