The story has been SO long current
that it has become a proverb-"a as quar-
relsome as the Kilkenny cats two OF
the cats in which city are asserted to
have fought so long and SO furiously
that naught was found of them but two
tails. The correct version of this say
ing is this: During the rebellion which
occurred in Ireland in 1898, Kilkenny
was garrisoned BY regiment of Hes
sian soldiers, whose custom it was to tie
together, in one of the barrack-rooms.
two cats by their respective tails, and
then throw them face to face across
line generally used for drying clothes.
The cats naturally became Infatuated and
scratched each otheri in the abdomen until
death ensued to one or both OF them.
The officers were made acquainted with
the barbarous acts of cruelty. and re-
solved to put an end to them. For
this purpose an officer was or
dered to inspect each barrack-
room daily and report its state. The
soldiers, determined not to lose the daily
torture OF the cats, generally employed
one of their comrades to watch the ap-
proach of their officer. On one occa-
sion he neglected his duty, and the Of
ficer was heard ascending the stairs
while the cats were undergoing their
customary torture. One of the troopers
seized sword from the arm. rack, and
with single blow divided the tails of
the cats. The cats escaped through the
open windows of the room, which was
entered instantly afterward by the Off
Ger, who inquired what was the cause
of the two bleeding eats tails being sus-
pended on the line, and was told in re-
ply that two cats had been fighting in
the room; that it was found impossible
to separate them. and they fought SO
desperately that they had devoured
each other up, with the exception of
their two tails, Irish Nation.

So he was, perfectly ready. There
are few pleasanter things than to see a
man, young, strong, honest and honor
able. ready to do what he is told, intel
| ligently, not servilely, about to enter
upon an expedition of much response
bility, and not without considerable
risk, at moments notice; not dis
mayed, but not over-confdent; self-pos-
| sessed, but modest, and not under the
impression that he was going to do
something surprising everything that
| any one else had ever done before.
A conversation took place between
Philip and his chief-not long. but con-
centrated-in which Mr. Starkie ex-
planned his position, and Philip took it
| in, receiving also instructions and Gre
dentials. There was an express from
Irkford to London at eight clock. It
was then nearly five. He had three
hours in which to purchase what was
absolutely necessary for his sudden ex-
petition, go home, take leave of his
sister, ''and your friends" as Mr..
Starkie remarked, in a general way
write to absent or distant friends, pack
up his belongings, and be at the station
in time for the London express.
He left the room, after shaking hands
with Mr.. Starkie, with the brief words:
You may depend on me, sir, to do the
best have it in me to do for YOU"
"That is enough" was the reply, and

ter of an hour before, at the pages sum-

nothing to their suggestions, but said:
"What bosh!' Good bye, all of you!
I'm off to make acquaintance with the
heather Chinee."
'.What!'' came in large capitals from
all parts of the room; but Philip had
no time to explain. He shook hands
with few friends, and hurried away
with general goodbye to the others.
A hasty visit to large Quitting
shop, where he explained his needs,
and received promise that what he
wanted should be packed and sent to
meet his train to London, and then. in
a dream, a strange, unnatural trance,

and eradicate the disease. No
such objection was made. how
however. when the Mississippi river
levee bill will come up. Gentlemen
were willing that whole herds in agri-
cultural states should go to "Demni-
| ton Simultaneously before they would
vest any power in the general govern
ment TO prevent 1t.
Muldrow. while favoring the general
purport of the bill, opposed Ger tain
provisions In 1t, and gave notice that
he would, Mt the proper time,
move to re-commit 1t for amendment
and revision. Peters and Lawrence
supported the bill, and dwelt upon the
immediate necessity of taking steps
for Graduating pieuro-pneumonia.
Cameron expressed hearty concur
renee In the purpose of the legislation,
and failed to find any constitutional
stumbling block In the way of voting
for IL. A liberal construction of the
constitution should always be given
when great public good is to be ac-
complished, and great public evil
averted.
Rowell contended that the proposed
legislation was absolutely necessary to
protect the cattle interest, and Ii was
not possible for the states to do so
without federal alu.
Bedford said he would not vote for
the bill unless fundamentally re-
constructed, but he was not
the flimsy pretext Of state
rights. He believed that this is u great
nation, and IL was it's duty to protect
the health of the people. He objected
TO the bill because IL authorized some
scientific crank, appointed by the
commissioner OF agriculture, to take
charge fthe whole subject and inves-
tigate the condition of cattle shipped
from one state to another. That was
too great n power to put in the hanGa
Of any one agent in this nation. He
hoped the bill would be recommitted.
Hepburn made constitutional ar
gument in support of the view that
the federal government could i'm the
exercise of its pewer TO regulate COM
merce legislate in the manner propose
ed by the bill.
Cox of New York spoke against the
bill, which he asserted intrenched
upon the rights of the states and tend
ed TO break down the old and well or
ganized division of sta,e and federal
power.
Gibson, passing over the constitu-
tional question with reference to
the time when the Republic
can party Rugged the doctrine of
state rights to its bosom as enabling it
TO steal the presidency, criticized the
bill upon its merits. He did not mean
to reflect upon the committee ON agri-
culture, but that committee must have
been over-reached, for the bill was u
fraud on its face, and intended TO per-
petrate great wrong upon the people.
IL proposed 10 create force of officers,
who should take the place of collectors
OF internal revenue and search
every mans farm, and he was utterly
astonished that the committee nut
such unlimited powers in the hands OF
subordinate officers and opened to such
a VIDE extent the doors OF the treasury.
Pending further action the commit.
tee rose, and the house adjourned.
