The pools referred to by Mr.. Gould in

those at Peoria and Indianapolis, the
agreement respecting which was signed
on Monday. So far as can be learned no
definite steps have yet been taken toward
an advance in east-bound rates. At the

NAT GOODWIN's EXPERIENCES.

A number of men were gathered round
a table in the Morton House on Saturday
afternoon. They were for the most part
either actors or politicians, aud at regular
intervals a mighty laugh would burst
from them and the table be drummed in
an ecstacy of hllarity The cause of all
this mirth might have been traced to
boyish-looking young man in light
clothing, whose auburn locks were sur
mounted by tall white hat. He was
retailing mirthful anecdotes, the points of
which were vastly heightened by his
graphic gestures and mimetic voice and
features. It was "Nat" Goodwin WHO
had dropped in for an hour or two on his
way to the shore from Boston.
"Yes," said he, "Pm myself again.
Very much myself though they did try
to arrest me out West. [ tell YOU those

A SEA CAPTAIN's CURE FOR CHOLERA

A SEA CAPTAINS CURE FOR CHOLERA.
Nobody need be afraid of cholera
said Capt Geo A. Pinkham, of the barge
Frank Penham "It is not on record
that anybody ever died of cholera in
n-the-Hudson. Hudson draws
all its water from the heart of limestone
mountains, and lime water is sovereign
preventive and au almost sure cure for
cholera. In 1882 the cholera was raging
round Hudson. My mother made me
and all her other children drink plenty
of the water. Everybody in Hudson
did the same andy there wasn't a case
there.
In 1856 | was master of the ship Black
Warrior. We were lying in the Bay of
Punta Arenas, in Central America, when
Walker the ilibuster defeated 5000 Of
the soldiers of Costa Rica. The Costa
Rica people retreated to where we were
lying, throwing their dead into the wells
and poisoning the water, so that 1000 Of
them died of cholera before the eighty
miles were covered. They brought the
cholera with them and sixteen of my
crew of twenty six were soon down with
it. I made them drink lime water. I
put enough lime into the water to dis
color it and make it taste nasty. Only
five of them died, and I believe. they
would have been saved if the American
Counsel there hadn't insisted on giving
them other treatment too"

DEMOCRATIC AUTHORITY. = Henry
Watterson, of the Louisville Courier
Journal, and eminentiDemocratic author
ity, says of Cleveland; "The idea of
nominating Cleveland, who absolutely
has no claims upon the party, who has
been an obscure man until very recently,
who has done nothing to entitle him to
the nomination, and is being fought by
the best Democratic workers, is the height
OF political absurdity and tomfoolery'
Gen. Rosecrans, another good Demo
crat, says of Cleveland: "He is not the
choice of the people-he represents cap
italisis and not the laboring class

Informed of the correspondence, without
informing them of her intended visit,

the Lancaster turnpike, stopped at a
house and inquired for the Mullin family,
when to her surprise she found her sister
in the very house, who, being an invalid,
as soon as she heard Mrs. Nailer's voice

A SYSTEMATIC CAT.-MIDDLEToN, n.
Y, July 27.-Mrs. Sarah Brown, of
Ellenville, has wonderful cat. The cat
has three kittens. To feed these Off
spring the mother fishes in the neighbor-
ing ponds and streams and huhts for
game in the woods. One day last week
she brought in seven perch She cap
tured them in Famine Mill Pond. The
pond has been drawn down until it is
quite low. The cat crouches at the edge
of the water and when fish comes in
sight she springs into the water upon il.
Her aim is as true as aaking6sher's.
Barely day passes that this cat does
not bring two or three birds for her kit
tens In feeding them she will not per-
NIT them to eat all at once, and one
kitten cannot have more to eat than the
others. The old cat lays bird or fish
down in front of one kitten. She compels
the other two to remain in the back
ground until this one has eaten one third
of the meal. She frequently enforces
discipline by sharp cuffs on the ears of
the Kitten whose impatience impels it to
attempt to eat before its turn comes.
When the kitten that is feeding has eaten
one-third of the meal the old cat drives
it away and places the morsel in front of
another one, which in its turn is forced
to make way for the third. The kitten
that is served first to-day comes in last
tomorrow, and this rotation is observed
with unvarying impartiality day after
day.

place at his Summer residence in Milton,
is deeply lamented in the wide circle of
friends who enjoyed his intimate acquain-

College in 1867, and lor time was the
private secretary, of Charles Summer,
succeeding Mr.. Moorfeld Story in that
position. He married Miss Wigglesworth
soon after his graduation, and travelled
extensively abroad Mr.. Holmes had
been in poor health for some time, fact
which prevented his devoting himself to
his profession, the law, for which, like
his elder brother, Judge Holmes, he had
carly displayed great aptitude. He was
posse s'ed of many accomplishments, and
had much of the sparkling wit of his dis.
tinguished father. He had rare taste
for antiquities also, and was one of the
best connoisseurs of antique bronzes in
the country.
