Sir David Brewster's Cat.

Margaret Maria Gordon, writing from Nice to
the Home Chronicle, says: my father, Sir
David Brewster, had strong dislike to cats; he
said that he felt something like an electric shock
when one entered the room. Living in an old
up a cat, but on the express condition that il
never was to be seen in his study. j was sitting,
with him one day, and the study door was ajar.
To my dismay pussy pushed it open, and, with
most assured air, walked right up to the philoso-
pher. jumped upon his knee, put paw on one
shoulder and paw upon the other, and then
composedly kissed him! Utterly thunderstruck
at the creatures audacity, my father ended by
being so delighted that he quite forgot to have
electric shock. He took pussy into his closest
affections, feeding and tending her as if she were
a child.
'One morning. some years afterward. no
pussy appeared at breakfast for cream and fish;
no pussy at dinner, and in fact months passed
on and still no pussy. We could hear nothing
OF pet, and were both inconsolable
About two years after, was again sitting with
my father, when, strange to say, exactly the
same set of circumstances happened. The door
was pushed gently open, pussy trotted In,
jumped on his knee, put paw on each shoulder,
and kissed him. She was neither hungry,
thirsty, dusty, nor footsore, and we never heard
anything of her intervening history. She re-
sumed her place as household pet for many
years, until she got into a diseased state from
partaking too freely, it was supposed, of the
delcacy Of raw flesh. and in mercy she was
obliged to be shot We both suffered so much
from this second loss that we never had another
domestic pet.

Anecdotes of Grant.
Staff Officer, in Boston Traveller.


Grant had no fear of responsibility, no fear of
Secretary Stanton. / never knew him to show
fear of anything. In September, 1864, while at
Harper's Ferry, returning from visit to Sheri-
dan, he learned that Wade Hampton had slipped
in in rear of the left flank of the Army of the
Potomac and carried off our entire beef herd
$500 head When Secretary Stanton heard of
the loss of the cattle he wanted somebody's
scalp and telegraphed: "Who is responsible for
the loss of the cattle herd9" To
which. Grant replied, II am There was
no hair raised" that time. For several days
afterward the ''rebs," with much 'mooing' and
flowing" frequently called out, Hello Yanks,
don't you want some beef?' While this was
going on the old man. would iokingly say II
have the best commissary in the army; he not
only feeds my army but that of the enemy also"
1t was only few months after this that he d-
rected the same officer at Appomattox to feed
Gen. Lees furnishing army When shortly
after this loss Sheridan made big haul of stock
in ''the valley" Grant felt better. Though the
dition as ours, they were In such numbers and
of such size as to stop Johnny Reb's mouth.
On the morning OF the day the army captured
Petersburg Grant stopped to write dispatch,
leaning against one of the few fences left stand
ing, near house. the upper part of which had
been abandoned by the women and children.
These had taken refuge in the cellar and were
crying from fear as the house was being riddled
by the confederate artillery. The writer stood
near the General, thinking between shots that it
was no place for him, but not seeing how he
could leave while the Acknowledgement re-
manned. When Grant had finished his Dispatch
looking round and apparently approaching for
the first time what hot place he was in, he
quietly said: II see no use in staying here" and
moved off, very closely followed by his staff, to
place where an unoccupied man could feel
cooler.

Personal characteristics of One of the Lead
ing Women of the World.
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
Mr. Gladstone is accused of being jolly and
jaunty of late. but it is not always mentioned
that on all festal occasions, whether at artist
breakfast or theater party, Mrs. Gladstone
is always at his side as was the case with Mrs
Disrael and her lord Though not handsome,
she has fine, kindly. English matron presence,
and has exercised great influence over him all
through his life. 'Let me ask Ca.hariner was
constant saying of his before deciding on i'm
portant political questions She has great
sagacity and discretion Many ladies and gen.
tlemen of remarkable astuteness in their own
estimation have endeavored in vain to CLEAN
from her the faintest inkling of coming events,
and her aplomb is as remarkable as her discre-
ton.
An instance is going the rounds of the clubs.
When, two years ago, Mr.. Forster resigned the
secretaryship for Ireland in Mr.. Gladstone's Cab
met, he was very anxious to hear what Mr. Glad
stone would say of him in announcing the event,
but was unwilling to appear upon the scene. He,
therefore, instead of taking his ordinary place,
made his way to tho ladies' cage. The only occu-
pant he discovered on entering was the one Of all
others he would have avoided seeing-Mrs. Glad
stone. He was about to evince hisdiscomposure
in the rugged, spasmodic way peculiar to that
flower of Quaker subtlety, and which was sub
ject, occasionally, of unpleasant observation or
his visit here, when the lady, perfectly at her
ease, held up her finger, and, shaking her head
with an air of tender reproval, whispered in
low tone: Naughty, naughty" Unlike Lady
Beaconsfeld, VINO entertained very little, and
when she did, with great discrimination, Mrs.
Gladstone entertains with large and promis-
cuous hospitality, never troubles herself about
the amalgamation of her guests, and is system
atlcaily indifferent to their assortment at table.

'ministering angel" hi devoted friend
his wise counselor, his constant companion,
the partner of ali his joys his SORROWS and hopes,
his loving and beloved wife, who could not give
him up has had to do with the preservation Of
the great mans lifeY And while our hearts TEEN
with gratitude and love to the hero of Shiloh and
Appomattox, the man whom the world delights
to honor, let us not forget to render the homage
that is due to his good wife, this true type of the
American woman, the noblest, the most en-
lightened womanhood, cosmopolitan once as
sured me, in the world.

And what they do and suffer record

Tennis, teas and trotting are the great di-
versions in the intervals of private theatricals
now. The first fourishes in every direction but
there are three regularly organized and en-
thusiastic clubs which hold weekly meetings,
and as the members of each are more or less
mutually involved with the others it gives them
three hard games week. One court is at the
English legation of course, another in the garden
of Mrs. Albert Meyers beautiful house, and the
third at the Argentine legation, to which
the Misses Dominguez have issued invitations
for Thursday games They are merry lot
these young Argentine Republicans. There are
four brothers and four sisters. and there is the
most delightful friendship existing between
them all, and between themselves and their par
ents. They are all musical
The elder brothers make speciality of the
mandolin, which has sprung into favor here as
suddenly as the rage for yellow flowers and gilt
braid They are picturesque men, and the
music is quaint enough to belong to the
age of troubadours and tournaments. 1t is
made with tiny quill--not unlike toothpick--
which is drawn sharply across the strings with
the right hand while the left fingers play on the
frets and modulate the sounds evoked The
music peculiar to the instrument is nearly all
of the Spanish school-sombre sweetness and
sharply accented, and is as melancholy, even in
its widest gayety as life itself The shape of
the mandolin is odd, and, as it is not at all an
monumental hit of brica brac, one is to be seen
hanging in every super aesthetic parlor in the
CITY.

The Hour,


The milers say that the departure Of the mill
stone is not a thing which makes the days work
any more pleasant 1t really adds to the care,
for the machinery, to be looked after and kept
clean and in repair, in connection with the iron
rollers, is new burden. The ancient miller,
with his pipe and deliberate handling of mealy
bags, seemed more denizen of Arcadia than
his modern successor, for he had less care and
toll. Tennyson pictures him with double
chin" and ''portly size," and busy wrinkles
round his eyes"-as if he had time to sit down
now and then, and talk, and laugh, and tell
good story.

aid of Charles Foster, made nice little specu-

trail, running down into the coal fields. In this
he lost his 500, 000 and when he had finished it
he owed Foster $115, 600. Foster had confidence
in him, however, and the two got their heads
together and ran a branch of the road into the

other, and the result was that Brice
paid off Foster and had about $685. 900 left. Then
he originated the Nicke plate, pushed it through,

The Aberdeen Pioneer relates that this sngu-

monial candidates on the other and no way to

tons and responses. But it was evidently
good and valid ceremony, as the couple still live
together in the county. The justice deferred his

Slavery in New York.


In the year 1899 New York State adopted a
gradual emancipation act. There were then
about twenty thousand slaves in the State. In
1917 another act was passed, declaring all slaves
free on the 4th of July 1927 1t will be OBJ
served that there have been no slaves, by law,
in this State for ifty-eight years. There were
very few in 1927 nearly all had become free
under the act of gradual emancipation, passed in
1899. 1t may be proper to remark that many of
the people of the North VIII previous to 1863
were in the habit of turning up the whites of
their eyes in holy horror when any one alluded
to slavery in the South were very apt to be the
sons or daughters of men who held slaves in this
State

A Loaded Bug.
San Diego Sun.

A very extraordinary occurrence took place
recently at the residence of oneof our prominent
citizens. The family were sitting in the parlor
in the evening, when bug was seen crawling on
the table. One of those present seized the in
sect and placed it in the lamp, with the view of
cremlating it. A loud report was instantly heard,
and the lamp chimney was blown to atoms.
The explosion was certainly connected with the
insect but in what manner we leave it to the
scientist to explain.
