THE CONQUERED CAT.


Our cats name is Tige. 1t is short for
Tigridia. He is spotted and marked like
the elegant Tigridia blossom.
We used to call him Nimrod, he was
such a ''mighty hunter The neighbors
used TO borrow him when their ratihca-
tion meetings grew so noisy as to need a
moderator. Sometimes, Maria would
come over from Mrs. Emss, and ring the
bell and say, "Is Tige at home? There's
mice"
And Mrs Aitch would say, "Can Tige
spend the night with us? We've rats"
And, the next day, they would say,
"Much obliged. he's cleared them all
out"
But Tige is a changed and hamhled
cat he is a conquered cat, and conquer
ed by-a pair OF old robins.
They began nest in the apple tree in
our Backyard Tige smiled; for Tige,
in his way, is very fond of birds, espe-
cialiv at his breakfast time. He let
them get their nest well under way, and
then he went for them. He crept up to
the tree, lay across the nest, and waited
The robins came, and our hitherto in
vincible Tige found his Waterloo
They pecked his eyes, they pecked his
nose, they pecked the top of his elegant
head Out of the tree he scrambled and
fell, and they swooped down upon him,
and with their claws they pulled out
great lunches of the handsome fur of his
handsome back. He ran for the house,
and they followed him to the very thres-
hold. Then they filed the air with their
angry opinions. They scolded, detied,
and threatened; and Tige gave in.
Now, those robbins hop close to our
back door, and look saucily into our back
windows. They are feeding their tledg-
lings now, Tige sees the dainty morsels
of their long tender necks, and walks
away He has given up the back yard
to them while he goes in and out the
front way, and lies in the parlor on his
scarlet damask cushion,-a Conquered
Cat. Boston Times.

A Suspension of silver Coinage
Proposed.

Proposed.
Senator Mcpherson OF New Jersey has
introduced a bill in the Senate providing
for the suspension Of the coinage Of the
silver dollar and the issue OF bullion GER
tifcstes. Senator Mcpherson says no bill
simply to stop the coinage Of the standard
silver dollar can pass either House Of Con-
gress, it being impossible to repeal the
Act outright. He has drawn up a bill
which he feels confident will remedy the
evil. The issue of silver bullion certif-
cates' is limited to SIS, 000, 900 per month
81, 900 900 more than the top limit Of the
coinage of silver dollars authorized by the
existing law, but these certificates will be
based upon bars Of silver bullion of q value
when coined of q gold dollar. In other
words, every dollar represented by silver
certificates will be worth o dollar in gold.
Silver, he says, is cheaper now than ever
before in the history of the metal, and any
advance in its price will be so much gain
to the Government. The value of
the certificates will enable them to
be used in foreign trade and do away
with the necessity of exporting gold. The
Senator purposely provided in his bill that
the supension Of silver coinage should not
prevail after Jan. l, 1886, not believing
that the present Congress would vote for a
longer period of suspension than two
years, and during that time he thinks it
possible that some international agree
ment regarding the use OF silver may be
reached; il not the next Congress may be
induced to still further extend the time.
We infer from Mr.. McPherson's re-
marks that he is not confident OF the
passage of his bill. We do not under
stand its merits fully; but we are safe in
saying that the people of the Pacific Coast
are opposed, for the present. to any change
in the Coinage law.
Since writing the above, the following
pertinent dispatch arrived last night:
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The Herald's
Washington special says it is not probable
that Congress will stop or lessen the
coinage of silver dollars this session, but it
is possible that a joint resolution may pass
declaring that unless within two years
there shall be a general international
agreement for rehabilitation of silver in
Europe. at the expiration of that time the
United States will stop the coinage Of
silver.

DiseountinS the Cowboy.

Bill Nye, in writing Of the rantankerous
cowboy, rather disparages the romantic
notion that he is a courageous human
being, and adds this sensible advice:
'In the wild, unfettered West, beware of
the man who never carries arms, never
gets drunk, and always minds his W
business. He doesn't go around shooting
out the gas or intimidating q kindergarten
school; but when q brave frontiersman,
with a revolver in each boot and a bowie
down the back of his heel, insults a modest
young lady and needs to be thrown
through a plate glass window and then
walked on by the populace. call on the
the silent man who dares to wear a clean
shirt and human Clothes"

The latest improvement in parlor sleep

corridor at the side, into which the doors

sofas with which the compartments are
furnished are at night transformed into
beds. The beds are made up with the
head next the corridor partition, bring
ing the vital parts Of the body into the
middle of the cara safer position than
along the sides of the windows" The beds
are longer han those of other cars. Now,
If some genius will only find a means of

AN 0 WIFE.
She IL Graphically Described 10 q
Brother Tailor.

Brother Tailor.
Bennett Ehrenworth, a tailor of Eureka,
has received letter from a brother in the
trade ct Sutton, Clay county, Neb., named
George II. Sporl. Mr.. Sporl laments the
loss Of his wife, who ran off with o tramp
tailor. and he thinks that in her fight she
may come to q rest ON the Base Range.
The cruel spouse was bad enough to de-
prive her husband Of her society in q dis
tressing manner, but added to her
heartlessness by packing away $500 in
greenbacks from the common treasury.
He has not lost his fondness for her as
completely as she seems to have lost hers
for him, and in order that she may be
known wherever she may roam, and be
captured for him, he has sent broadcast q
description of the fair but not fragile
flower that shrank from his couch. In
one of these descriptive circulars received
by Mr.. Ehrenworth, she ia pictured as
standing s feet 10 inches in her stockings.
She is plump with all, as her weight is
estimated to be not less than 1876 pounds.
She is "a years Of age. Her complexion is
pure blonde, and her hair is the color of
the strawberry. Her cheeks are pink and
white, and her eyes are very large and soft
looking, and as clear and blue as the typi-
cal sky. She is q good, quick worker, but
likes love better than labor. She has
never born q child, though she had been
married up to the time Of her %elopement
for five yeats to her liege lord, Tailor
Sporl. Though a picture Of goodness, and
walking in a halo of charms, she was not
faithful. She strangely preferred the
attentions of other men to those of the
said Sporl, though he never tired of car
ressing her Maybe that was the trouble;
she tired of his NERVOUSNESS and, at last,
decamped with a half tramp tailor
and runt. She will doubtless be recog-
nized at once by this picture if she appears
in Eureka. Sheriff Sweeney and Constable
McGovern are already on the lookout for
her. If she shows up here they will put
her down in ice and ship her back by ex-
press to the aching bosom Of Sporl, the
tailor, Sutton, Neb.

The heath spell BROKEN.

The SENTINEL published, Tuesday morn
morning, an account Of the excitement of
the Secret Canyon Cinnamon who hurried
of one Of their number who was sick for
fear he would die in camp. The poor
devil expired on the way to town, but they
didn't care for that. They had saved
Secret Canyon from q Chinese death
which, If it had occurred there, they
feared would let down the bars to other
shufiings of Of the mortal coil. Yester-
day morning they woke up to find that all
their trouble had been in vain. Another
Chinaman, who had worked all the day
before and had gone TO bed apparently
well, did not answer to the morning roll
call and was found dead in his bunk.
Harvey Carpenter, who finds himself
growing into the undertaker's business,
brought this "stif in yesterday after
noon. He was met by q deputation OF
ohinamel, and he received, also, the con-
gratulations OF a crowd of white men who
surrounded the hearse-sleigh. The burial
