An Unique Easter Entertainment.

The most unique and charming Eas-

at a friends house in Germany. Al
though gotten up for the benefit of the
children. we older folks enjoyed it as
much, / can assure you. Dessert had
lust been served, when in came two
footmen bearing huge golden egg
rarlanded with flowers, which they de-
posted upon an artificial bank in the
center of the saal. No sooner had they
done so than open few the egg and up
popped hare. in whose blue eyes and

Now that Mr. Henry James has found
SO many capital subjects for burlesque
among the people Of Boston, it is a
matter of wonder that some other nov
el-writer does not deal in similar strain
with one-time resident of that city
who was an eminent author. The lit
erary gentleman in question lived in
Mount Vernon street one winter re-
Gently, and kept the whole neighbor-
hood in an uproar with his ..nerves." :"
All the cats had to be killed so that
his slumbers might not be broken by
their midnight cries, the servants went
about in list slippers and spoke with
bated breath, and every bell in the
house rang with a muffied tongue.
Even to this day that season is named
'.that terrible winter" And the voice
of rumor whispers that the nervous
autocrat who thus made life not worth
living in his environment bore the
name of Henry James.

Fore God / believes de cat scared
fore a coroner's jury in Atlanta the
other morning.
Lewis Perkins, a negro. died sudden
ly. He was apparently q stout, healthy
negro. Saturday evening he quit work
at the usual hour. and after drawing
his pay went home. He ate a hearty
supper and passed the evening talking
to the family. When bedtime came he
retired He slept on pallet on the
floor in the same room with q colored
man named Sutton. He slept soundIy
until about three 0 clock. when he
awoke the other occupants Of the room
bv giving utterance to the most piteous
groans and calling loudly for help.
Sutton sprang from his bed and has
tened to the pallet while his wife made
a light The lieht showed that Per-
kins was lying flat on his back with his
eyes and mouth wide open. His fea-
lures We're greatly distorted. His eye
balls were nearly out Of sockets, and
his general appearance indicated that
he was terribly frightened. Sutton
placed his hand under Perkins head
and raising him up asked:
whats the matter, Lewis?
Perkins made several attempts to
speak His jaws would move but his
tongue failed to do his bidding. Final
". however, he appeared to eoncen-
trate his powers OF speech. and with q
terrible effort uttered the words:
Cat, cat, ca"
Before finishing the last word his
eyes rolled about in his head. His
body gave one immense shake and he
fell back dead. Early in life Perkins
was severely bitten by cat. His arm
still shows the marks made by the
vicious eats ugly teeth The bite made
him averse to cats. He was actually
afraid of them, and the several witness
es before the jury of inquest yesterday
stated that they had seen Perkins run
away from y cat frequently. A cat
was found in the room where Perkins
died. and one witness asserted most
positively that Perkins had been scared
to death by a atlanta Co1astttu,

1.-THE Tusky Boar"

The device of a boar was used by
Richard Ill before he was a king, and
when duke of Gloucester he had pur-
suivant named Blanc Sanglier. His
cognizance was a rose supported on
the dexter side by a bull, badge of
the house of Glare, and on the sinister
by boar, which boar he had found
among the badges of the house of
York. 1.-The latter he selected for his
own personal device, and it was that
by which he was generally designated,
as we know by the doggerel. which is
said to have caused its composer to be
shortened by the head and four quar-
ters:"

seditious of the disaffected, and held
correspondence with Richard and de-
served his fate.

I only alluded TO his badge, the boar"
Queen Margaret calls Richard a
'Tooting hog, and Hastings says:
ITO fly the boar before the boar pursues
We're to incense the boar to follow us.
And make pursuit when he did mean no
chase.
Go, bid thy master rise and come to me.
And we win both together te the tower.
