A WICKED OLD CAT.

The old cat sat on the garden rail.
Waving her paw and warging her tail,
Teaching her kittens to srowl and hiss.
Now what do you think OF n cat like thisf
The kittens I'VE all eat In a row;
whatever she did. they did Just so,
First she meowed, and then she spat,
Now what do you think OF cat like thatf
She taught them all her wicked old plans,
To lick the cream from the dairy cans;
while to steal the meat. she sntd was bliss.
Now what do you think OF cat like thisf
ehe taught them to Sirg from ID tot,
Till all the ncighhors were nearly deaf;
And never to catch mouse or rat.
Now what do you think Of a cat like THAR
But her lecture didn't cont nue. long,
For Q big dog heard her teachings wrong;
He Gnatched her up by the end of her tail
And dropped her into the WATERFALL.

Newspapers Of TO-DAY.

People generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers and close
observers, have but faint conception of
the magnitude and influence the press of
this country has attained. From cares
full examination of the advance pages of
the 1885 edition of the American Newspa
per Directory, issued MAY list, by George
p. Rowell & Co, of New York, it appears
that there are 14,147 newspapers and Pc
riodicals published in the United States
and Canada; of these the United States
has 10, 973, an average of one paper for
every 1857 persons. In 1884 the total
number of newspapers was less by 1923
than at present, and while the gain this
year is not so marked as in some previous
years, it is still considerable. Kansas
shows the greatest increase, the number
beng rs, while Illinois follows with a
gain of II. 1t Is curious to notice that
New York, the scene of so much politi-
cal activity during the last campaign,
should have only about onesthird as many
new papers as the state of Pennsylvania.
As an index to the comparative growth
and prosperity of different sections of the
country, especially the territories, the
number of new papers forms an interest
ing study, and may well occupy the at
tention of the curious.
