The Sounds That Disturbed Grave Con-

Washington special
The members and attendants about the
House lobby have lately been disturbed by
catcalls and the crying of young kittens,
coming apparently from the solid walls OF
the lobby. The sounds were mysterious
and unaccountable. Workmen were sent
for to- day to penetrate the wall to see il
Poe's ''cat" was walled up in the masonry.
The register in the vicinity of the sound was
removed and out rolled three little kittens.
Some homeless cat had -cmwled into the
heating apparatus and finding her way be-
tween the walls had deposited her young
there, where they would be protected from
the winter blasts. They have been named
after three prominent lobbyists.

Grant and Rosecrans,

General Rosecrans says he has Just heard
of those orders of Grant for his removal
and arrest. That may be. But "old Rosey"
is not ignorant of General Grants opinion
of his abilities as military commander.
In Grants conversations with John Russell
Young, on his tour around the world, the
General described his meeting Stanton in
his night garments at hotel in Louisville,
panic-stricken ut the receipt of news that
Rosecrans had given orders TO his army to
retreat. which would have involved dis
asters not only to that campaign, but to the
Union. Grant instantly telegraphed Rose
Grams, relieving him of his command and
taking command himself. He then tele-
graphed Thomas to take command of Rose
Grams army until he Grant arrived. Grant
then went on by special train. He adds:
ION my way to the front. at one of the
stations, / met Rosecrans. He was very
cheerful. / remember he was very eager
and fluent in telling me what I should do
when reached the army. When / arrived
at headquarters found the army in a sad
condition. The men were half fed and
badly clothed. Rosecmns' plan, which was
checked by my order before il was put in
execution, would have been most disastrous
nothing would have been more fatal. He
would have lost his guns and his trains and
Bragg would have taken Nashville"
IL is not hard to understand Gen Rose
Grams hostility to Gen. Grant. The New York
Times says that Rosecrans raised his popu-
larity in California by antagonizing the
Grant retirement bill, whereupon the San
Francisco Chronicle replies:
THE Times is mistaken. hIr. Rosecmns
had no popularity to risk. He was the ac-
cidental nominee of his party for Congress
in 1882, and was elected by the tidal wave
of that year. He has never done anything
in Congress to entitle him 10 popularity in
this State. When the time came last year
for n nomination to Congress- from his dis
trict not single man in the convention
ventured to suggest his name. BY COM
mon consent he was considered dead.
When some ignorant Eastern reporter sug-
gested him for post in Clevelands Cabi-
net, the suggestion awoke guffaw in Cali
fornia, which resounded to the Sier1as. -

Air, sanshine and health.

A New York merchant noticed, in pro-
gress of years, that each successive book
keeper gradually lost his health, and finally
died Of consumption, however vigorous and
robust he was on entering his service. At
length it occurred to him that the little
rear room where the books were kept open
ed in back yard, so surrounded by high
walls that no sunshine came into it from
from one years end to another.
An upper room, we'll lighted, was imme-
diately prepared, and his clerks had uniform
good health ever after.
A fimiliar case to general readers is de-
rived fIom medical works, where an entire
English family became i'll, and all remedies
seemed to fail of their usual results, when
| accidentally a window-glass of the family
room was broken, in cold weather. 1t was
not repaired, and forthwith there was
marked improvement in the health of the
i inmates. The physician at once traced the
i connection, discontinued his medicines, and
ordered that the window pane should not be
1 replaced.
