The Stntne of Liherfx.

The grand marine pageant in New York harbor on the occasion of the reception of the Bartholdi Statue, was sight that has never been seen in this country before.
 About eleven o'clock the lines were formed, and with the boom of 8 signal gun one and all began to move. Bang went the guns in the forts. Bang echoed the guns on the ships. Bang went the respectful recognition from the visiting warriors, while 8 choral of steamer shrieks, whistles and panjams flew in volumes to the smoke hidden sky and doubtless made the welkin ring"
 The line was headed by the U. s. ships Dis patch (with Secretary Whitney and staff on board), Powhatan and Omaha. Then followed the French flagship La Fibre and the Isere, the latter with the statue on board.
 Then came sailing vessels, steamers, yachts and tugs until the crowd numbered over 100 vessels. The display was a most magnificent one, and was witnessed by thousands upon thousands of people.
 The parade was also fine one, embracing military organizations and civic societies in large numbers Taken altogether Liberty had a hearty welcome in this country.

SHE POISONED THEM ALL.
A Young Girl COnfesses thnt She KIIIe
 Her Father, Mother and Sister.

CHICAGO, H., June 22.-Mary Kleman, 8 girl in jail here, who has heretofore persist ently asserted her innocence of the crime with which she is charged-that of admins tering poison to the family of Mrs. Michael Freres, her sister, with whom she has made her home for & short time at Rose Hill-has now confessed to reporter that she is guilty not only of the attempt upon their lives, but of causing the deaths of her mother, father and another sister in Dubuque, Iowa. Her mother died in July of last year, her sister Lena in August, and her father, Michael, in March of this year. She assigns no motive for her crimes other than that she was i'm pelled to commit them. She is evidently in- sane.
 Mary Kleman is less than twenty-two years old, slender, rather pretty, prepossessing in manner and an invalid, having but partial use of her legs and feet. She has an innocent ex- pression, and looks even more youthful than she it. Her eyes have the strange, bright fixed look so often seen with diseased mind. For the past two months she has lived with her sister at Rose Hill, to whom she came after the burial of her father in Dubuque.

Panic in a Circus.

During the performance of a circus in Lapeer, Michigan, a large elephant became in- furiated and turned upon the 5000 persons as- sembled under the canvas. He tore up the seats, smashed the furniture, and made havoc generally. Women tainted, children screamed, boys climbed trees, and geneI al stampede fol- lowed. The enras ed elephant, after clearing out the canvas, made break for the woods near by. and got fast in the mire of an adja- cent swamp. After much difficulty he wss ex- tricated, but five bullets were shot into his hide to tame him. Amid the panic numbers of limbs were broken and much property lost and damaged. No fatalities occurred.

THE WHOLE TICKET.

Before another issue of the
CAT is perused, the election
will be over. The result must
necessarily satisfy all parties.
The most Of the grumbling
done is by candidates that did
not have enough votes in the
convention. The masses of
the people are satisfied only
the politicians and men who
rely upon combinations in diff
fcrent parts of the county that
are dissatisfied. 1t matters
not the geographical location
of the candidates, but the ca
pabilities Of the men to fill the
Offices. Not one word can be
said against the ability of the
nominees, and there is no ques-
ton as to the fairness of the
convention. We are a COM
munity of almost entire stran-
gers. Now, in all reason, as
strangers, is it not wiser to
trust the men that have receiv-
ed the nomination at an abso-
lutely fair convention, at ma
jorities of from II to 24o out
of a total vote of 276, than to
trust men that allege themsel-
yes to be better men to fill the
positions than the nominees.
The men that cry fraud, "
ring etc, the loudcst in the
county to-day. are the men that
need the most watching. The
man that declares himself an
honest man in loud terms. is
generally the rogue. The
people said at the convention,
these are the men that we will
trust, and history will undoub-
tedly repeat itself Nov. 18TH.
