An Essay on the Cnt.


The cat has long tail, and IL Is poor and
remote relation Of tho royal Bengal tiger, of
which relationship IL is very proud. IL is
fond Of cream, of loaves and fishes, and is
noted for its dishonesty, deceit, and treaohery.
IL is, indeed, a beast Of prey yet, when em-
ployod to protect the household against the
deprodatiOns OF rats and mice, it always neg
lects its duties, becomes the chief despoiler
and ravager of the comestibles, and is more
apt to kill and eat your canaries and chickens
than to trouble itself about hunting and chas-
ing tho rodents that infest your habitation.
The cat, however, though used to pamper-
ing, pilfering, and peculation, is very cum
ming in devising ways and means TO prolong
its existence, when IL has lost the soft and
warm places that IL loves so we'll. 1t has boen
known to feign death, to hide itself under the
meal in the meal tub, and we ate all familiar
with its purring aftectation, with closed eyes,
OF the sleep Of guileless innocence, when 1T Is
most intent ON mischief. How IL rubs itself
against you aud purrs to regain your favor.
How it draws in its claws and presents the
velvet touch of its caressing paws How 1t
hides its sharp and ferocious teeth, and seeks
to kiss you with its lying lips
The cat is difficult to kill, and IL is said to
possess nine lives; but all these lives may be
ended at once by iudicous means. Yet no
cat can be really dead IL 1t squalls when you
tread on its tail or when it news because it
is out in the cold; or when II caterwaus for
company No Then IL is most alive and
most dangerous with teeth and claws ready
and pitiless To kill the cat eflectually aud
to know that all its lives have expired, you
must not only behead it, but bury it, with
claws downward, so that its efforts to rise
again may carry it only the deeper and
deeper!
Efforts have been made to reform and con-
vert the cat but 80 far nothing but sad
failure has been the result. 1t was once
transformed into fine lady, so we are told;
but its innate predatory spirit was irrepressi-
bic, and broke forth signally on the first
temptation. The cat never forgets its old
tricks, aud can never be taught new ones.
The cat is a cat still, call it by what name you
itself under all circumstances and DISCUSSES.
Beware of this cat-this bourbon funder

The Silver Dollar.

The dangerous encroachment upon uni
vcrsal space by the continued coinage of the
silver dollar admonishes us that some measure
ought to be adopted for preventing the
further production of silver from the mines
1t is perfectly obvious that the ore would
have TO stay somewhere after being taken out
of the ground, even if its coinage into dollars
should cease. If then, as is urged by many,
our silver coinage is crowdng upon
the space in the world which is
needed for other uses, tho mining of silver
Of which the coin is made, and which is
equally bulky, will have to bo suppress.
We take it for granted that tho argument
against silver coinage, which is based on the
want of storage room, refers to want of space
for the necessary buildings, and not to the
nero brick walls, which can be easily erected
We also assume that it is not because the
government does not own ground enough on
which to erect silver store houses, for that
could bo purchased. We arc forced to the
conclusion that the objection lies to having
the surface Of the earth anywhere in this
country numbered with silver ore or coin.
Those who object to the silver dollar on ac-
count of lack of room in the country for the
erection of buildings in which to store it
make no complaint of it on any other ground.
But there is another school of economists who
consider its size Objectionable, An ingenious
device for surmounting this objection was
proposed by late secretary of the treasury.
1t was in these words: "The addition of one.
tenth or one-eighth to the thickness
Of the silver dollar would scarcely be
perceived as an inconvenience by the
holder but would inspire confidence and add
greatly to its circulation" annual report of
the secretary of the treasury, for the year
ending 1873, page 49, This plan would add
to the anxiety of those who worry over the
storage question: as it would Tegpire the ad,

Payment OF called Bonds.

The total amount of bonds offered for re-
demption in response to the Treasury depart
ment circular providing for the payment of
bonds embraced in the 120th call is $2,000,20o
The circular gave notice that five millions of
these bonds would be redeemed on the fourth
instant, in the order of their presentation.
The total amount of bonds presented since the
issue of the circular is only S635,2OO. The
other bonds to be redeemed are those held by
the state of New York amounting to ~, ,265, 600
which were surrendered for redemption with
interest to date of payment several days be-
fore the circular was issued. The above men
toned facts are construed by officials of the
Treasury department as indicating that the
reported stringency of the money market was
more fictitious than real.

Got His sword Rack.

Capt. J. L. Greene, editor of the Worcester
Spy, was captured at Balls Bluff was reported
dead, and his funeral sermon preached in the
Congregational church at North Brookfeld,
Mass. He was leading company and was
surrounded by the enemy when Col. Single
ton, of Mississippi, came up and politely
asked him to surrender. He gave up his
sword was given into the hands of two sol
diers, and was well treated on his way to
Libby prison. Last winter Capt. Greene
spent a week in Washington and met the
Hon. Otto X. Singleton, of Mississippi, for the
first time since the surrender, and they re-
newed the acquaintance under circumstances
more pleasant. A few days ago Capt, Greene
received the sword that he surrendered over
twenty years ago, and it may be said that he
has not only survived both the capture and
the funeral sermon, but honorably recovered
the sword he carried with him when he went

American Pork I'm France.

Consul Wilson, of Nantes, in communica-
tion to the State department, just made pub
lie, asserts that interested influence" were
brought to bear to secure the prohibition of
American pork in France. He says he finds
extending through the business community
general and widespread dislike for an oppo-
sition to the American tariff so far as it may
affect any article exported from France and u
disposition to retaliate; and that this feeling
of dislike and opposition is intensified by the
situation in regard TO American pork, where,
he adds, is shown the willingness to retaliate.
He gives resume of the history of efforts
made by interested persons TO secure legisla-
tive interpostion between the failing French
pork trade and American competition from
1877 to date, and strongly intimates that the
representations made to the minister of agri-
culture and commerce by French pork manu-
facturers rather than any objection to the
quality of American pork caused the issu-
ance of the decree of prohibition.

Who WIN Govern Kentucky.

Hon. Phil Thompson, Of Kentucky, is still
in the city, though he is going over to New
York to stay for week or ten days before
going homo. He says the sudden appearance
of Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner and Maj.
Jacobs, of Louisville, as candidates for nom
ination by the convention, makes the matter
of who will be governor of Kentucky one of
great uncertainty. whereas it was pretty
much u foregone conclusion three weeks ago
that Proctor Knott would be the man. Maj.
Jacobs lisa popularman in thevery city where
most influence can be thrown around a nom
mating convention, and the struggle for the
nomination is all the struggle there is in Ken
lucky. Two or three counties outside of
Louisville are already pledged for Jacobs,
The Buckner appearance is without advice or
consultation, and amounts to little or nothing.

Homestead Entries OF Land.

A decision was rendered yesterday by the
secretary of the interior, in an Alabama land
case- with regard to the right of an applicant,
whose original homestead entry has boon can
ccled to make an additional homestead entry
under the act of March 3, 1879. The secretary
holds that the law requires an additional en-
try to be made on land which adjoins the
original entry, and that whero the original
entry has been Cancelled for failure to mako
final proof, the applicant has no land upon
which to base his additional claim. His ap-
plication must therefore be denied.
