A Cat Chased by Foxes.
West Chester Republican:


On Thursday last while John P. Thorn
bury and friend were driving in East
Marlborough township, near the Red
Lion, they were attracted by strange
noise in small woody hollow and upon
looking in that direction saw the unusual
sight of two foxes, apparently male and
female, in close pursuit after cat of the
common species, The chase was nip-and-
tuck affair at the moment when they first
observed it and so continued for a few
seconds later, but was theI suddenly ter
minated by the cat bounding up tree
and in so doing displaying cunningness
that must even have surprised the foxes.
They were so close upon the heels of the
cat that few yards more run must have
brought them upon it, and apparently re-
alizing its danger the little animal ran
first behind the tree and then up, so that
before the foxes could stop and get into
position to jump at it, it had reached a
point of sufficient altitude from the
ground to be out of reach of the foxes,
who, Immediately upon observing this
and at the same time noticing the close
proximity of Mr.. Thornbury and his
friend, beat a hasty retreat.

THE LITTLE LAMB.
A story Told by Man who Con-

Walker Messenger.

Barks, in his confession at the trial of
Cunningham said that on the night of
the murder, as he and Cunningham
were going to Mr.. Rudd's house, they
passed flock of sheep and one of them
bleated, which reminded him of a story
he once heard of a woman and a little
lamb and he repeated the story to Cum
ningham, telling him that the bleating
of the sheep was warning for them not
TO commit the murder. Barks did not
repeat the story on the trial. but alter
wards related it in Jail, as follows
"Once there was lady who had lit
tie lamb and the lamb stayed in the
same room that she stayed in. Five
gentlemen were courting the lady and
every time one of them would ask her To
marry him the little lamb would bleat
and the lady would refuse. At last the
lady took notion to marry and she kill
cd the little lamb. One of her suitors
asked the lady to marry him and the
dead lamb bleated and she refused
She then burned the lamb and another

The Queen and royal family were

A Case of Constancy In Dumb Beast
Equal to That Of Damon and Pythias.
louisville CourierJournal.
Some time last fall d. c. Evans bought
a pair Of Texas mustangs which were Of
fered for sale at one of the auction sta
bles in this city. They were shaggy little
animals, undersized and apparently of so
little value that it was only the low price
at which they were offered taat induced
Mr.. Evans to make the purchase. Ear,y
in the winter Mr.. Evans sent both of the
horses out to a farm near Muldraugh's
Hill, to remain until spring. They were
but little used and were permitted to run
at large in the pastures The evident af-
fection which existed between the two
animals was noticed and commented
upon by everybody and they became
great pets with the farmers household,
the children especially. They were in
separable, so much so that where one
could be found the other was not far of
ard if either was ridden or driven away
from nome its mate had to be taken
along too.
About two weeks ago the smaller horse
was taken i'll from some malady peculiar
to the equine race. He grew steadily
worse day by day and in spite of all
treatment, and finally became SO weak
that he was unable to stand or to eat.
His mate never deserted him, but lost his
spirits, and with dropping head, remain
ed with his companion, never straying
off more than few yards from his side.
The sick horse finally died, and Sunday
the carcass was carted off and thrown
into the gully.
From the time of his death his mate
seemed possessed with demon He was
at first fastened up in a stable, but he
kicked the door down and ran out in the
fields, neighing and acting in such Il
frenzied manner for some hours that no
one dared approach him, and finally in
one of his freaks he fell and broke his
neck. A stranger instance Of affection
among animals seldom or never occurs.

A FLOCK OF EAGLES.
Something that may Cause the Naturalist
to Knit His Brows.
sioux City Journal.

Sioux City Journal
A flock of eagles is believed TO be a
rare thing, but that is Just what the cx-
Sheriff of Dakota county, and friend,
saw.
The two were returning from Jackson
to tsis city, coming by tie island road.
When about four miles out from Coving-
ton they saw on the trees ahead of them
what they at first supposed was flock of
turkeys. Coming nearer they saw that
the birds were not turkeys but eagles
bald eagles, too.
As they came close most of them flew
off toward the north and were hid by the
timber. But six remained, and among
them was one which the ex-Sheriff. Mr..
Ward, said looked like Old Abe, the Wis
consin war eagle. This one craned his
neck IA the men passed under the tree
where he sat.
The men halloed, but neither this
white-headed veteran, or any of the six
flew oft. Mr.. Ward says there were fully
fifty eagles in the flock. Their plumage
was not at all alike, some being gray
headed and Others with white heads.
Both gentlemen are confident that
there Is no mistake about the identity of
the binds. They were not fish hawks,
nor buzzards, but bald eagles that they
saw. 1t is possible that the birds had
been South TO winter, and happened 10
come back in body.

In fact only Officer Baggs' club is COM

every day at Police Headquarters and
let the strongest man ON the force prac-
ticc ON his head with sticks of all lengths,
thicknesscs and degrees of heavincss.
You all know the result; Hickory, ash,
walnut, lignumvita and rosewood were
tested upon the colorcd gcntleman's
head day after day. lie was asleep
vi hen the giant of the force hauled of
and let him have it with the lignum-
vitae stick, and he reused up and asked
If anybody spoke.
Capt Williams, then young man on
the force loaned the department the
cane he had used when in Japan to en-
phasize occasional remarks TO the ma
tivcs. The giant officer took il, and us
ing both hands. brought II down Just
above the colored rentleman's left ear
with terrific whack.
"lol' ON, now hor on" said the scien-

IN LOVE WITH EDWIN BO0TH.-
A Foolish Girl Tempts Fate and is
Fortunate In the Mans Honesty.

New York Star.
Speaking OF the prosecutions OF actors,
reminds me of very pretty story re-
garding Edwin Booth.
1t was while he was playing at the
Winter Garden that young miss in her
teens fell desperately in love with him.
She was the only daughter of wealthy
parents, and night after night she would
make some excuse to leave home and 90
to the theater.
She deluged Booth with love letters,
and finally he wrote to her telling her to
meet him at the stage door at the end of
the performance on certain evening.
She was there according to appointment.
Booth handed her into his carriage and
gave some whispered instructions to the
driver.
The horses were driven rapidly and
in few moments the young girl found
herself in front of her own home. The
carriage stopped and Booth assisted her
to alight.
Taking her arm in his he walked
with her up the stoop and rang the
bell. 1t was late and the girls faith
er, who had become very anxious about
her whereabouts, opened the door.
When he saw her in the company of
the actor he started back in astonish-
ment.
Mr." said Booth very quietly,
Il have brought your daughter home.
She has been very foolish, but she has
promised never to be SO again, and
would advise you to take better care of
her"
With these words he tdrned and left.
That young girl is happy wife and
mother now, but she never tires of tell
ing the lesson she received from the
great actor.

GREEN SNOW.
The Phenomenal Covering Of "a Mountain

Helena Independent
We have often heard of red snow in
the mountains of the Northwest. but un-
til yesterday the idea of green snow this
far from the pole was new one to us.
Of the various tinges of snow-wbitc.
black, yellow red and green-the last is
the rarest and is seldom. if ever, seen.

A gentleman who arrived in the citv
Yesterday from Meagher county reports
that while on his way to Helena he

While his theory might have been cor
