A FcIine'S Dizzy Trip.

The Montreal Star thus tells how Il
cat rode III miles on the hy-wheel of
an engine The engineer of the Star
printing establishment soon after start
ing the steam engine on Tuesday
morning noticed Il white patch on the
inner surface of the rim of the drive
wheel, which he thought was piece
of paper caught by one of the spokes
in its flight and whirled round and
round by the wheel. The white patch
was noticed by several of the hands
during the morning, who accounted for
it in the same way, but no attention
had been specially given to the matter
when the engine was stopped shortly
after noon. As the wheel stopped the
engineer was surprised to see the
white spot fall to the ground and then
get up and crawl away. He then, for
the first time, became aware that the
white spot which had been whirling on
the tly-wheel was Il cat which had been
clinging to one of the spOl<es of the
wheel and had only relaxed its hold
when the wheel had come to IL stand
still. The cat seemed dazed for
while, and was taken into the street
for freer air. Here it remained per
fectly still for considerable time, but
on an attempt being made to cover it
with paper it ran off in il zgzaglcourse,
but apparently rs fully alive us ever.
The lower portion of the tly-wheel re-
wolves in Il trough, the sides of which
fit close to the broad tire of the wheel,
and it is presumed that the cat, which
was Il strange one, being frightened ut
the entry of the engineer, jumped into
the trough to get out of the way, and
when the wheel was started found it.

the tire. The wheel is ten feet in

State Republican Convention.

We gave last week Il summary of the
republican convention at Burlington,
but some details are worth giving even
at so late date. The convention was
fortunate in the selection as chairman
Lawyer Ide of this place, as the papers
all agree. Below we give the sub
chair:
After returning thanks for the honor
conferred upon him, Mr.. Ide said our
primary work was to choose candidates
for state officers, and no one doubted
that this work would be well done and
that the usual republican majority
would be rolled up next fall. But the
work of the convention extends beyond
the limits of Vermont. A great issue
is to be fought between the party of
progress and the party that opposes
progress. Vermont will be the first
state to pass upon the questions at
issue. 1t was the universal wish of
Vermont republicans that Senator Ed
munds should have been the standard
bearer of the party in the presidential
campaign. That he was not nominated,
was not because he was not eminently
qualified for the presidency, or because
| he was not cordially and Loyalty sup
pOr5ed by his own people but because
| the great heart of the natiOn-the
voters of the republican party demand
| ed the candidate who would arouse lin
! itless enthusiasm-James g. Blaine
! Great and prolonged applause.) We
! ligt ri
pride and admiration, and regret that
he was not the choice of the natiOna
convention ; but we can unite with tho
republicans of the country in suppor
of the candidate who is nearest th'
heart of the people since the death o
Abraham Lincoln. Great applause.
Our candidate is brilliant and eXpe
rienced statesman who has never tal
tered i'll his devotion to republican
principles. Vermont now lays asid
every personal preference and says
"Give us the glorious candidate win
supports our principles, and we hear
tily and cordially give him our allie
glance" Let us meet Our antagonist
with solid ranks, as we have for Year,
and roll up the Oldtime majority {
900 for our ticket. (ApPlause.)

parents learned but little from Joe
about his sickness. AS to the real
cause they had no suspicion whatever,

eaten. But when the physician saw
him, and the parents repeated what

She can appreciate a kiss from her

She can suffer abuse and neglect for
years which one touch Of kindness or
