Costly Cats.

Think Of a cat worth $500, ,000l A
London correspondent Of the Boston
Herald, describing visit to the cat show,
says: Three little kittens, who possibly
had 'slost their mittens," for 'sthey all
began to cry" were named Fluffy, Puffy
and Tuffy. These were half Persian and
were ten shilling $3.50 apiece. In the
next cage sat q dignifed kitten, as black
as coal, named Tinker, only eight weeks
old, priced at S.. Lottie and Tottie,
two little ''swells, one black, one yell
low, gambled about their proud mother,
who winked knowingly at the scrutiny
of the moving crowds. 'sNow, +" said my
funny little spinster guide, here is one
Of my family" And she halted before a
pure Persian. which bore price ticket
81, 900 and had taken half dozen
prizes. Five, ten, twenty and one nun
dred pounds were frequent prices tackled
on their cages; but when we came to
0ssidine, late Tiger, lying on an en-
broidered satin cushion trimmed in Eng
lish bobinet lace and marked e100, 900,
or $500, 900, | simply took back seat,
metaphorically. Well, Ossidine was a
pretty tabby cat, but don't think I'll
ever own him, unless he is rafficd for at
a shilling a try. One gentleman, evi-
IDENTIFY of sporting turn of mind, who
values his blue Persian at 1000, gave
his pedigree on tinted card as follows
dam Viola, by Miss Ackland's Tizzie
and Sultan; sire Rough, by Mrs. Powell S
Lady Flora and Shah, all winners of nu-
merous prizes" The owner of this rara
avis, named Midget, one and a half
years old, was physician of South Nor
wood, who evidently is not anxious to
sell his cat.

The report of the Utah commission, re-
ferred to by President Arthur in his message
has been made public 1t describes the re-
cent elections in Utah, says the commission
believes all polygamists were excluded
from voting, and describes John T.
Caine, the recently elected delegate to
Congress, as a Mormon who has nsver lived
in polygamy. During the present year, the
report says, there appears to have been
polygamic revival in Utah Mormon fanatic
ism is described as having been blown into
flame by the completion Of the new temple at
Logan. Three-fourths or more of the Nor
mon adults havenevere entered into polygamy,
but every Mormon in good standing believes
in plural marriages as q divine revelation
The sect of the Josephites, however. dtscards
polygamy as a spurious revelation 1aey
are few in number, and are treated as senls-
matics
The trial Of the recent case Of fhs United
States against Rudger Clawson under the Ed
munds act for polygany is described No be-
iever in polygamT was allowed in the jury
box. The case was tried twice, the jury dis
agreeing the first time, when the second vile
did not testify, and finding verdict OF guilty
the second time, when she did testify. The
sentence imposed was $500 fine and four
wears imprisonment The defendant 1s the
son Of q Mormon bishop 1t was found i'm
possible to prove the second marriage except
by the testimony Of the second wife The
commissioners think the conviction OF Claw
son will probably have a restraining effect
upon the practice of polygamy. and recon-
mend further legislation in the same dlrectlnn
as that already passed

Woodlands and Health.

Upon the hills of western Massachu-
sets are thousands of acres of land
which, when first cleared, was suffici-
entity productive; but the soil, no longer
held together by the roots Of the tree,
has had its lighter and richer portions
washed out year by year, until its best
elements have found their way into the
valleys, leaving the hill farms sterile and
nearly worthless. The change is evil
denced by the ruined houses and half OBJ
liberated cellars, which are sadly abun-
dant on the hills, indicating population
and prosperity in former time which
would nov be impossible. In the vicin-
ity of Boston, within my recollection,
many fine tracts Of woodland have been
cut down for irewood, leaving barren,
rocky hills, looking desolate enough
without their once beautiful covering.
If those sterile hills, all over the State,
could be planted with the best varieties
Of forest trees and properly cared for, the
value Of adjacent lands would be en-
HANGED, our streams would flow with
greater regularity, freshets and low
water would be less common, the climate
would be tempered, the extreme of heat
and cold being less marked and winds
less violent, the rainfall would be more
copious and regular, malaria would lose
its foothold, while every grove would be
a sanitarium for the weary denizens Of
city and town. Boston Adrertiser.

saying, Dolly picked up her fat baby
with loving squeeze, and, nodding

$50 like her mother . murmured John
to himself. as he turned with a sigh into
his solitary home, and filling his pipe,
he settled himself into the warm chin
ney corner. The embers glowed brightly
on the hearth, casting pleasant glow
on the shining pewter ranged on the
dresser and half Illuminating the dusky
corners of the large, old fashioned
kitchen.
John, gazing into the Goals, saw many
a pleasant sight. First peered out a
smiling baby face; next came little,
golden-haired lassie, with bright, fairy
figure, flying down the path with out
stretched arms to meet him returning
home, tired with his hard days work !;
this faded into slender school girl,
with large serious eyes, the very color
OF the midsummer sky, lowering around
him with an eager love and anxious to
forestall his slightest wish; next came
a sick chamber, with the poor, weary,
pain-worn occupant tenderly nursed and
soothed by the same sweet face and gen
tie hand; then sad and weary time;
when all the world seemed empty and
his loneliness became all but heartbreak
ing; but even amid this blackness was
the one bright face, ever winsome and
kind, and ever striving, with all the
might of a loving heart, to fill the gap
left by death
''God bless my Christmas boxl'' John
murmured softly-when there stole an
arm around his neck, voice spoke in
his ear, and soft kiss stole upon his
cheek.
"Why, father, dear. how long have
you been asleepl the fire is all out and
your pipe, too. They kept me longer at
church fixing the greens than 1 thought
for; you should see how pretty it looks.
Hark, fatherl listen to the Christmas
carroll they are practicing it for to-mor-
rown The golden head was drawn
closely to the breast where it had lain SO
helplessly seventeen years ago, and in
the soft cleaning Of the twilight, John
and his Christmas baby listened with
hushed breath to the mysterious, beauti-
full voices born to them from the neigh
boring church.

a CHRISTMAS SONG.

1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From Heavens a1I-gracious Kingl'
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their Heavenly music floats
Der all the weary world:
Above its sad and lonely pla'
They bend on lowering !,
And ever DER its Babel so,.nus
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath ishe angel strains have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The Iove-song which they bring;
Oh, liush the noise, ye men of strife,
find hear the angels singl
End ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who to s the climbing way
With painful steps and slow.
Look nowl for glad and golden hou-
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels singl
For 10, the days are Fastening on,
BY prophet-bards foretoli,
When, with the ever-circling years,
Come round the age of gold;
When Peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Good Words For Arkansas.

Gov. Berry of Arkansas has issued
a proclamation urging the people of
the state to take steps toward max.
ing handsome exhibit at the Now
Orleans exhibition. Tho proclama,
ton is published with an address by
the u. 5. commissioner who Incl
dontally remarks that no state in the
Union surpasses Arkansas in the va
riety and quality Of her minerals.
We will venture to say that thus
statement will cause surprise to
ninety nine in a hundred of those
who road It. If it be true that no
state surpasscs Arkansas in the va.
rioty and valuo of her minerals 1t is
equally true the fact is known to
comparatively fow outside her own
borders. Even her great and rap
idly increasing fruit.growlng indus
tries are hardly known to any but
market mon and dealers. If Arkan.
sas really makes fairly representa-.
tive exhibit of natural products it
will compare favorably with the dis
play from any quarter of the globe
of equal area. The state has no largo
cities and acant supply of WILDLY
circulated newspapers to blow her
trumpet, but when it comes down
to mineral wealth and carly vegeta.
