Cats ON Shipboard

and over by patriarch on whom she
had bounced, and retire from the fray
discomfited, with a severe bite through
the lip Inconnection with cats and
rats, will mention two episodes that I
could scarcely have believed possible
had they not come under my immediate
notice. On board the Elbe we had a
grand. great yellow cat in athe after
part of the ship-for cats have their
own well-defined homes afoat as ashore,
and resent intrusion within their bound
aries from feline rivals quite as conserv
atively as their brethren who enjoy
the blessings of the land. Sandy, then,
reigned over the saloon and quarter
deck, and was the most accomplished
and gentlemanly cat l was ever ac-
quainted with. One morning, while we
were lying in the Scheldt abreast of
Antwerp, Sandy was seated on the rail
watching the disembarking of the cargo.
and the various operations of the small
craft which surrounded the steamer,
with that responsible air of gen.
eral superintendent which distin-
gtished him, when he suddenly caught
sight of rat in one of the lighters
alongside Without second hesitation
he sprang down from the rail sheer into
the lighters cargo-space, a descent of
full thirty feet, perhaps more! AS may
be expected, he was nearly killed by the
fall, and lay for days almost insensible,
but we nursed him round again with
beef tea and brandy. The other Incl
dent was horrible. I had brought an
old cat with me, on joining a certain
rat-ridden ship, knowing him to be a
good sporting animal; it was not mine,
but one had borrowed for the voyage
on hearing the vessels reputation for
run with vermin from stem to stern, but
it appeared that there was an extraor-
binary concentration of the ratty element
in the store-rooms underneath the fore
peak. Nothing served to restrain their
depredations or to diminish their num-
beers and audacity; it was scarcely safe to
venture down there, and the store-keep-
er was at his wits end to know how to
protect the articles under his charge.
At length he asked me to allow him to
put Tim down there at night, not so
much in the hope of destroying the rats
as of soaring them away. Tim was .ac-
cordingly conducted thither before the
gratings were put on, and left there,
with his saucer of bread and milk, his
mat. and no lack of company In the
morning nothing remained of him but
gnawed bones and some scraps of gray

A writer in German paper states
that it is a custom in offices in that
country to have a sliced potato in the
desk in commercial houses. He does
not state whether the esculent should

that it is not boiled. The use of the
potato is to clean steel pens, and gem
orally act as a pen-wiper. 1t removes
all ink crust, and gives peculiarly
smooth flow to the ink. He also states
that the Hamburg clerks pass new pens
two or three times through a gas flame,
and then the ink will flow freely. Il

The Russian Imperial Family.

Alexander I'LL, Gar of all the Rus

and was born March TO- 1916. His
mother was the Princess Maria, daugh-
ter of the late Grand Duke of Hesse
Darmstadt. He was we'll educated at
the Russian universities, and in 1866, in
consequence of the death of his eldest
brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas, he
married the daughter of the King of
Denmark, the Princess Maria Dagmar,
to whom the deceased Prince had been
betrothed. Four children have been the
result of this union. -..
The Nihilist conspiracy has confined

aim has been to maintain amicable re-

which might give a more positive color

Maria Dagmar, the Czarina, is the
fourth child of Christian TX, King of
Denmark, and of Louise, daughter of
Wilhelm, landgrave of Hesse-Cassel.
She was born November 26, 1S47, and
is consequently in her thirty-sixth year.
The Cars advisers deemed a union
with the reigning family of Denmark
desirable, and the Princess was be-
trothed at an early age to the Grand
Duke Nicholas, heir apparent to the Rus
sian crown. But the Grand Dukes
death at Nice, in April, 1865, precluded
the marriage, and to secure the object
sought by the proposed union, the Prin-
cess was, at the expiration of the period
of mourning prescribed by court Ell
quette, espoused to the late Cars
second son, the Grand Duke Alexander,
the marriage being consummatedin No
venber, 1866. On assuming the ortho-
dox Greek faith, the Princess was known
as Maria Feodoroyna
Four children have been the result of
this union, the Grand Duke Nicholas,
born May IS, 1868; Grand Duke George.
born May 10, 1871; Grand Duchess
Xenia, born April IS, 1875, and Grand
Duke Michael, born December 5, 1878.
It will thus be seen that the house OF
Romanoff is in no danger of extinction.
1t is, in fact, a prolific race. Besides
his four children, the Emperor has
three brothers and one sister. who, in
case of necessity, could take the crown.

The. election yesterday passed off
quietly and resulted, as we antici-
pated, in a decisive Democratic VIC
tory. The Republicans made a splen-
did fight for their candidates and
polled their full vote; but the De
mocracy bore down upon them in
their united strength and swept
them from the field. The Democrats
have probably lost one man, and he
one of their ablest candidates. Mr..
Medhurst Republican, may be elect
ed. The returns from Meaderville,
Melrose and Silver Bow may
yet defeat him. The result,
however, is perfectly satisfactory,
and justifies the action of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee in standing
out for the four Democratic candi-
dates out of the six. Had the Repub-
licans acceded to this very just de-
mand the Democrats would have had
two less in the Silver Bow county
delegation. This election proveSthat
Silver Bow county is Democratic, a
fact which the Republicans have not
heretofore conceded. They will con-
cede it now.

BLOOD OR II
"a Bad Man" Ali Wool and q
Yard Wide.

Late last evening a man whom We
may call John Doe, walked into the
sample rooms of Mr.. George New
kirk on Main street and asked for a
drink. Mr.. Foster, who happened to
be within the bar, promptly placed
the desired article upon the counter.
As the thirsty customer was about to
help himself to the tempting bever-
age Mr.. Newkirk, who was sitting in
the parlor adjoining the bar-room,
told Mr.. Foster to give him nothing
unless he put up the regular twenty
five cents in advance. Mr..
Newkirk knew the man as
one who had satisfied his inner
self many timesat his rooms, but had
never paid a cent for the accommo-
dalton. When the genial Bob heard
the order to ''down brakes" he re-
placed the glass and decanter and
left the thirsty soul to contemplate
the coveted fluid 80 near and yet 80
far"
But the ''bad man who felt that he
was all wool and a yard wide was not
to be put OFT in this manner. He
turned to the door Leading to the par
lor and asked what it all meant. Mr.
Newkirk plainly told him he could
get nothing there unless he paid for
it in advance, and as it was warm
Mr.. N. drew off his overcoat and laid
it on a chair. At this the bad man"
remarked that he thought he (Mr.
Newkirk) meant what he said.
Without paying any attention to the
observation MI. Newkirk sat down;
picked up a MINER and devoted his
attention to the moral column of
the paper His back being turned to the
dad man" he didn't see him reach
for his gun in his hip pocket, but
officer Micklejohn did, and as the
''bad man. leveled it at Mr.. New
kirk, he caught the weapon under
the hammer, which came down upon
his hand, thus preventing what
might have resulted in %bloodshed.
Officer Micklejohn marched the
would-be assassin to the cooler, 1t
was a close call for George.
