4 Loving Cat.


Cats are said 10 surpass dogs in their
attachment to quadruped friends. But
the following touching story OF cat
shows that pussy is also capable Of
strong love for persons: A beautiful cat.
brought up IN family, became extreme
" attached to the eldest child-a boy.
They were play mates, and puss bore with
exemplary patience, and without any un-
kind resistance, all those occasional in
stances OF maltreatment which the play
mates of children are almost sure to re-
ceive. This continued for q long time.
At length the child was attacked with
smallpox In the first days the cat
never quilted his bedside. As the dis
ease progressed it became necessary to
remove her, and even TO lock her up.
The child died. The cat was liberated.
and instantly flew to the apartment
where she hoped to find her playmate,
but the body YVES not there. Then she
ran about tie house until at last she got
into the room whore the dead boy Law.
Here she lay down ~ silent melancholy
and had again to be locked up. As sooa
as the child was inferred she disappeared,
but about a fortnight after she returned
TO the well-known apartment quite ema-
ciTtcd. Still she would not take any
nourishment, but ran away with dismal
cries. At length, compelled by hunger,
she made her appearance every day
about dinner-time, then left the house.
No one knew where she was the rest of
the time, till one day she was fol-
lowed to the burial ground, and found
by the grave of her faYorite. SO great
was the attachment Of the cat to her
deceased little friend, that for five years
that Is until the removal Of the parents
to another neighbcrhood-there was
every reason to believe that, excepting
il the greatest severity of winter, she
vent out aad passed every night close by
the grave

PROSPECTS OF MEXICO.

Liberty and fraternity have taken up then
abodes in Mexico to stay. There is an end OF
revolutions The great civilzing influences
which have worked such transformation as
that of recent years in our sister Republic are
telegraphs and railroads. immigration is
about to do its work, which, hand in hand
with capital, will presently draw from its mex
haustible mines fabulous stores of mineral
products to pour into the commercial centres
of this country and swell the redundant wealth
already grown from its tendency to centrallze
to an unhealthy excess. Even now two-thirds
of the silver and gold extant in the world is
supplied from Mexican mines, although never
practically worked, which supplies will be
ouintupled within the present decade. Almost
every State in Mexico has many and very rich
mines, not only of gold and silver but copper,
lead and other metals, some of them old, and
worked, in their way, by the Spaniards, and
others quite new. With capital, improved
machinery, and carrying by rail, the products
of which these mines are capable are simply
fabulous. The mineral wealth of this country
combined would not equal that of single
Mexican State. This great Ell Dorado, now
opening to American enterprise and about
being made available, is, in effect, as the dis
covery of a new country, for all that the
Spaniards before the revolution, and the Mex
leans since, have done to develop the wonder
full resources of Mexico does not amount, so
to speak, to a row Of pins. The great want is
railroads, and this want is being agitated with
every promise that the demand will be
answered. The munifcent and GER
tain returns from roads iudiciously built have
been made apparent, and enterprise is on tip
toe awaiting preparatory measures. In 1873
the Vera Cruz road was opened and the net
earnings since that year, with all the disad-
vantages of the times, of bad administration
and an expenditure of quadruple its proper
cost, have increased from $500, 900 to So, ooo,-
900 per annum. In the tropical wealth OF
agriculture and horticulture Mexico, too, is by
no country excelled, and soon her rich and re-
dundant fruits will be poured into the wintry
lap of the North and luxury will be brought to
every mans door.

OUR LUNAR RELATIONS.

A Hungarian scientist named Augustus
Kan, recently died at Pesth, and left to the
Academy of Sciences of that city the sum OF
200 forms to be offered as a prize for the best
practical method Of entering into communlca-
ton with the inhabitants OF the moon. We
learn this fact from the "hyPhenated I'D"
of New Orleans, which, after learned dis
course, tending to show the present condition
of the "once populous moon" and the utter
incompetency of the ''few wretched creatures
who may still remain crouching around the
few moist places to answer our terrestrial sig
nallings," offers the following grave Sugges-
ton:
Augustus Kan would have done better to
offer reward for the invention of means OF
communication with some living world, like
Mars, Mercury, or Venus,-sOme world where
there is civilized life and prosperity,-nOt a
cOrpse-word,-a skeletOn-glObe, like the
moon.
AS this is not April 1, we do not doubt that
the I'D. is in dead earnest in calling atten-
ton to this solar enterprise. That popular
Journal never fails to submit its annual hoax
on the Fools anniversary, and that it regards
''interplanetary telegraphy" as no Joke is de-
noted by its not having reserved it for that
occasion, now but month distant.
When, on the Ist of April, 1888, Richard
Adams Locke announced the discovery by
the great Ross telescope at the Cape of Coco
Hope, of living people in the moon having
wings and being about 3H feet in stature
with such interesting accomplishments as hi
fertile genius could supply, he accomplished
all that Byron did by means of hi
great satire-he woke up one morning
and found himself famous. Nov
the question is whether the I'D
"once populous moon" comes of Locke's dis
coveries. We have thought that astronom
would yet realize the prophecy indicated il
Locke's great hoax, and, as that event
probably at hand, we must insist upon estab
fishing intimate interlunar relations with tn
only orb in our domestic circle distant but
neighborly quarter of million of miles, be
fore spanning the millions upon millions {
miles that separate us from other planets
our system. We hence, with all Difference
urge the I'D. to let US do the moon first
: and, in the meantime, we await the action {

Physicians had certified that Mrs. Stable
had died of pneumonia, and that lady was
resting in her coffin at Metamora, Illinois, last
Tuesday when one of the watchers noticed a
twitching Of the muscles of her face He
spoke of it, and then Mrs. Stable arose to a
sitting posture, rubbed her eyes and demanded
something to eat. 1t was brought to her, but
Just as she was opening her mouth TO receive
it she fell back unconscious. Doctors were
summoned, and this time they swore she was
really dead. Subsequently she was buried.

EIGHTY years ago the United States inder
niied France for its failure to keep faith with
that Government under the reciprocity treaty
which had secured the services of that power
against Great Britain in her revolutionary
struggle, by turning over to in its debts
owing to individual American citizens, and
which had been created by the Freuch Gov
ernment's own indignant reprisals. Having
thus brought itself out Of bad scrape with
these claims of its own citizens the United
States has allowed these citizens to whistle for
their money ever since These claims derive
emphasis from the fact that but for the aid OF
France our revolutionary struggle could not
have been successful, as is well known to all
students of history. If any consideration
could make claims sacred it should be tina,
he property of the claimants was part of the
price paid for our liberties. Such is the his.
.ory of the French spoliation claims, the bill
for the adjudication Of which by the Court o
Claims is, for the 4Ist time, again crowded

with much other legitimate business, by it

THR Weather Bureau gives indication Of
storm in which the elements will not partici-
pate. General Hazen complains to the Sec
rotary of War of charges made to the coun-
try through the public press" and desires him
to ask for a committee of the Senate for his
investigation. The Secretary declines on the
ground that his department cannot make sug-
gestionS to another as to its power or duties
in the government, and informs the Chief that
he is authorized to appoint court of inquiry,
and, if he desires, it will do so. This General
Hazen declines, because ''such ribunal would
not be broad enough to accomplish what is
desired" What is exactly the matter with
the Chief of the Weather Bureau is not clear,
but as there are two bills having relation to his
department pending in the Senate, one Of
which he favors while the other is favored by
the Secretary, it is probable that he would use
the latter to get his own chestnuts from the fire
At any rate he is persistent, and the end is no
yet.
