SALLIE ON CATS.

Cats is cats, but little cats is kittens Mats is mats, too, but little mats ain't mttens, and that's wot allers struck me as mity funny in langwide. A cat has four legs, but Mister Brown, that's my sisters ho, sez a cat has got six legs
 fore leg in front and too behind, an fore an too makes six. That may be a rithmetic cat, but it ain't no nachal cal like mine is. A cat is wind inster. ment, an it kin blow herself up biggern a sack of meal with hair onto it. When a cat gifts itself blew up, it looks fur all the world like my big sisters hair when she gifts up in the morning. I never cood tell wat makes hair ack so when you sleep in it. My big sister don't sleep in all of hern. You know she hangs the longest part, that wot Mir. Brown, that's her bo, calls "golden tresses," or something like that, on the back uv cheer. It beats all how much some men dosen't no. When a cat sits down it winds it's tail around it's legs. Some folks don't know why cats does this but I do. It is to keep their legs together so they won't spraddle out and split the cat wide open. A cat split wide open wouldn't be of no use unless you cood make door mat uv her with the inside of it nailed onto the fore. Cats sings most at nights. I don't think cats is much on the voice fur musick. When cats is ded they berry 'em in the alley on top of the ground. That's all l know about cats. T Merchant Traveller.

AN ANIMATED SNOW-PLOW.

A few days ago hunter known as "Uncle Bob Giddings" started up Slate river to interview q den of bears known to exist on the mountain side some dis tance above Cloud City. Just after pass ing Cloud he came upon trail in the snow which appeared to be from ten to fifteen feet in depth. The trail was as wide as though an OK had been dragged sideways and the snow was pressed so hard that pony could have easily been driven over it. Bob threw away his snow shoes and followed this trail, which led along the mountain side in north erly direction. Reaching the ruins of the bear den he found nothing but the bones of the bears left. While he stood in blank amazement his eye was direct ed to the valley beneath, where he saw huge serpent making its way down Slate river until it disappeared in a fathomless lake near the ranch of Frank Nichols, some three miles from here. The terror-stricken man, on his return to town, said that the snake was all of fifty feet long. Its propelling power seemed to exist in it's tail, which steam ed behind several feet.
 There is an old Indian tradition about this serpent and that an old Indian be- longing to the Uncompahgre Ute nation, in speaking about this monster sea-ser- pent, described it as having a neck fully ten feet long and as large around as the body of pony, it's head the size of a tepee and eyes like saucers, about one yard and half apart. It lives in a sub terranean passage, which has an entrance in an unexplored part of the Dark Can yon, on the opposite side of the range.

TOLD ON AN OLDI WAN

Many years ago Colonel Hoxie, who has recently connected prominently with the Gould railroad system, was manager of new railroad line in the south, and lived in excellent style in little south ern town, almost as quiet and sleepy as Dubuque. One day very dudish young man pushed by the servant at the en- trance, presented himself at the door of the reception room and exclaimed with a pronounced New York air:
 "Is this. Hoxie's room?"
 "Yes, sir, it is"
 "Are you Hoxie?"
 "I am.'
 "Well, here is letter for you" Colonel Hoxie took the letter and af- ter carefully reading it, turned to his visitor, and said:
 "Young man, find this letter is a recommendation for you from a very warm friend of mine, and if you had ap- preached me in gentlemanly way, knocked at the door, and addressed me as Mir. Hoxie, and presented your letter l should have said, Young man, how can serve you? As it is"
 "Give me that letter" exclaimed the young man, as he darted out of the door, evidently knowing that the fat was all in the fire.
 Presently there was hesitating knock at the door, and the young fellow re-en- tered.
 "Is Mir. Moxie imp
 "HIe is."
 "ls tkis Mir. Hoxe?"
 "It is."
 "Ah, Mir. Hoxic, allow me to present you with my card, and letter of intro duction"
 Colonel Hoxie took the letter, gravely read it and said: "Young man, ob- serve that this letter is recommenda- ton from q mutual friend; allow me to ask what can do for you?"
 "Well, MT. Hoxie, you can oblige me by going to the devil and be d-d to youW exclaimed the young man as he skipped out of the door just in advance of the colonel's toe.
 It is matter of record that Mir. Hoxie chased the young man four blocks, but being lame, the rascal got away.
