Old Beliefs.

A remarkable instance of the tenacity
of old beliefs among an ignorant class
lately occurred not very far from Cal
cutta. The idea that the British Gov
eminent always began every good work
with human sacrifice was long current
among the lower orders of the Indian
people, but it might be supposed that it
had died out long ago. 1t appears, how
ever, to be as strong rs ever. The boat
men on the Gauges near Rajmehal
somehow came to believe that the Gov
eminent required 100000 human heads
as the foundation for great bridge,
and that Government officers were 60
ing about the river in search of heads.
A hunting party, consisting of four Eu-
ropeans, happening to pass in boat,
were set upon by 120 boatmen, with the
cry of "Gulla Katta," or cut-throats,
and only escaped with their lives after
the greatest difficulty. The men were
arrested, and thirty-one of them SEN
fenced to terms of from one TO three
months Imprisonment.

A Cats, Head.

The Connecticut cat is continually
doing queer things. A few nights ago
a Norwich Conn. young man dreamed
that he was struggling with burglars
and awoke in cold perspiration He
listened and thought he heard a stealthy
step coming along the veranda roof
under his window. The football sud
denly stopped, and was followed by a
sharp clinking sound, accompanied by
sneezing and spluttering. Silently the
young man slipped out of bed, got his
revolver from the bureau, cooked it,
and went to the window. Suddenly
throwing open the blinds he thrust his
weapon out, prepared to kill burglar.
Instead of a midnight robber he saw a
black animal crouching on the roof, one
end terminating in stiff, erect tail and
the other in something that looked like
a small stove-ppe. 1t was a cat with
an empty condensed meat can on her
head. She had found it in the yard,
put it on, and she couldn't get it off.
During the night she had awakened hall
the families in the village humping the
can against doors and windows and We
randa roofs. Each family supposed
they had to do with burglars. Nor
