Pussy and the Parson.

In the house of clergyman in this city
the harmless, necessary cat is a great fam
lily pet, the good dominic following the ex-
ample OF Montague in beguiling many an
idle hour with the graceful gambols of puss,
and surreptitiously conveying dainty morsels
TO her from his own dish. On going to
breakfast the other day, what was the rar-
sons surprise to see in the very center of his
plate young rat, placed there with almost
mathematical precision by the cat, as if to
express her gratitude for the many favors re-
ceived from her master by returning the best
gift in her power to make, denying herself a
tidbit TO prove her affection. 1t is needless
to say that puss's breach of decorum was con-
doned in view of the spirit which seemed to
prompt it.

A CLOSE SHAVE.
Captain Loss Tells How His Vessel Rub

New York Herald.
Captain Loss, of the German bark J. W.
Wendt, bringing a general cargo from Bre-
men, laughed somewhat Historically as he
related the experience of narrow escape
from destruction from an iceberg ut was
a mighty clean shave" he said, land you
will hardly believe il possible that we could
come so near running down an iceberg when
l tell you that it occurred in broad daylight.
We were running along before fresh breeze
at the rate of about nine knots an hour
There was not a cloud in the sky, the sea was
tranquil, and the sun, which was getting low
toward the west, shone directly in the eyes of
anyone looking ahead. | was below in my cab
in and the mate was on the poop deck. He
was standing near the bows, looking forward,
when suddenly the pale blue outline of an
immense mass of ice, right under the bows
startled him with a sudden realization of i'm
minent danger. He screamed, AN iceberg
Down with your wheel!' The wheel was
Immediately put hard down, and not any
too soon, for the ice just grazed the channel
plates. The iceberg was fifty or sixty feet
long, about thirty wide and fifteen or twenty
feet high. While not of remarkable size it
may be formidable looking object at close
quarters, | can tell you 1t would have sent
us to Davy Jones's locker in mighty short
order had we struck it. The reason the mate
could not see 1t before was because the sun
was just over it and the rays dazzled the eyes
so as to render it practically invisible. / my
self was on deck only a few moments pre-
vious and scanned the horizon without see
ing it. OF course we were not looking for
icebergs so far south as latitude Al and we
were very much astonished to find such q
strange visitor there.

other evening on The Worlds morrow"
His audience numbered less than one hun

was frequently interrupted by the barking of
Instead of being embarrassed, Mr. Titon
took occasion to enlist the services of the
dog in an imaginary argument, and the re-
suit is described as being exceedingly humor-
GUS. One OF the papers there expresses the
hope that 1.-THE management will take steps
which will prevent repetition OF the occur

DRUGGISTS SELLING WHISKY LIABLE
FOE PRIVILEGE TAX.

The letter lately issued by the
Comptroller is a grand movement in
favor of temperance. and will prob
ably be the canse Of many druggists
giving up the sale of liquor on pre-
scription, as they are now liable to
indictment if they do not procure a
tippler's privilege tax.
The Comptroller in his letter, says ::
Il have just had a consultation with
Attorney-General BENZ. J. Lea, and
it is his opinion and l am so directed
that all druggists who sell whisky
any way are liable for the privilege
tax as tipplers, but they can sell
upon the prescription of regular
lar practicing physician without re-
gard to what is known as the regu-
lar four-mile law. l will also state
that l will expect the law strictly
complied with in the future"
The Revenue Bill passed by the
last Legislature provides that a priv
ilege tax of $3.50 per annum be as
sessed upon all retail dealers in any
place not in a city or town of 5000
inhabitants, and 5000 if in a city or
town of 5000 or over, and to be
taxed as other merchants. It also
states that retail dealers are persons
who sell in quantities less than a
quart, and merchants or druggists
selling in quantities of quart or
more are wholesale dealers.
