The Journals cat stories have had a wide cir
culatiOn and found many appreciative readers.
Here one has been copied and there another,
thus testifying to the general excellence and in
terest of the work of our contributors We
quote below the kindly mention of few of our
Maine contemporaries:
The Belfast journal, whose amicable editor
evidently has an eye for good cat, conceived
the happy idea of offering prizes for the best
three cat stories, and opened its columns to all
recOnteurS in that line. "Our George was APP
pointed arbiter, and there was response all
along the line of cat admirers. The result was
a very interesting contribution to the literature
of Grimalkin, and report thereon in the best
vein of the genial humorst of the journal.
Stories of the universal household pet are rath-
err more entertaining and instructive than the
Kilkenny cat fights of the politicians with
which the papers are commencing to reek, and
the Journal is entitled to much praise for an
| agreeable innovation. Waterville Sentinel.

publishes the decision of Our George, with the
following Introduction: The Belfast journal
offered a prize for the best cat story, Il short
time ago. and was perfectly flooded with feline
anecdotes as a consequence. They appointed
sour George" as judge, and in making his
award he unburdens his soul after this fashion.
The Belfast Journal has distinguished itself
by printing an immense batch of prize cat
stories, contributed by readers of that paper.
The prizes were awarded by "Our George in
becomingly humorous manner. and the whole
affair was decided success. [Rockland Cour-

GENERAL BUTLER ON THE STUMP.
Public Confession or His Many Po.
Iitical Baclkslidings.

General Butler spoke again last night in
the Coliseum at Rocky Point, Il. l., to n
small audience. lie said he had followed
the banner of the Democracy unwillingly
because 1t was the banner of slavery. He
kept his bargain with that party, which in
those days was tho nearest straight. JET
Davis was constitutionally right. He fought
for his party until he found his country was
in danger and then left the party. lie
stood by greenbacks because nothing else
was paid to the soldiers during the war; and
what was good enough for the soldiers was
good enough for the bankers. He stood by
the Republican party until it put forward
for President man whom he could not
support; then, without altering single
sentiment, he left and supported gallant
soldier. He brought the labor issue be-
fore the Democratic party, and the princi-
pie was spurned. He left them aud ap-
pealed to the people. He had not changed
ono hair and what he had done was noe
done in corner. A letter from General
A. NJ. West, Of Mississippi, candidate for
Nice-President, was read, regretting his in-
ability to be present.
Rulers Campaign in Massachusetts.
Boston, Aug. 2l.-The representative
Butler adhercnts from all sections OF the
State met at the Revere House to-day in
conference and appointed temporary COM
mittee of five, with N. A. Plympton chair
man, to take charge of the campaign till
the State convention, when State commit
tee will be appointed.

IN MEMORIAM.
Edwinettn sneiton, Aged %.


The death of those who have passed the
meridian of life never fails to awaken re-
gret and cause throb of pain among their
friends and acquaintances, but when the
young and the beautiful, just entering the
threshold of life, are rudely torn away from
those who love them, the shock, the an
guish and the sorrow are too intense for ex-
preston.
Such are the sentiments of all who knew
and knowing loved her, experience in the
death last evening of Miss Edwinetta Shell
ton, who, Mt the carly age of %, passed from
the sunshine Of life into the valley of the
shadow Of DEATH The deceased was young
lady Of most perfect mind, OF most marvel
Gus amiabilty and Of that sweetness of
disposition that won the affections aud es-
teen of all who knew her. Throughout
her entire illness she never complained, but
boTo her suffering with that resignation
which characterizes the genuine Christian
heart. She died with "A smile of seraphic
sweetness upon her face, indicative that the
soul released from its earthly casket was

tality whore all is perfect, all peaceful aud
all beautiful by the presence of the Diviue.
