Mrs. W" sends to the Hartford
Conn Times this extraordinary cat
story: Zone night last summer, after
midnight, when all the family were
asleep, TaHy ran from the door of one
bedroom to another, crying and new
ing violently; evidently something was
the matter. My mother opened her
door, and I opened mine, to wonder
what was wrong. As soon as the cat
saw US, she ran few steps forward
and then back, as if urging us to fol-
low her. She guided us first down the
stair, and then through the kitchen to
the door Mt the head of the stairs leading
to the cellar. Upon opening it, we dis
covered, to our great surprise, that the
outside cellar door at the foot OF the
steps had been carelessly left wide open
by the servants, thus allowing free in
gress if any cvil-disposed person chose
to avail himself of it. | closed the
door and locked it, whereupon Taify
quietly returned to her bed and slept
peacefully the rest of the night.

JEFFERSON DAvIs.-The following
extract from recent letter, will be
read with interest by the many ad-
mirers Of ex-President Davis.
Davis is unusually well in fact
his health is b:tter than it has been
for several years. His manner is
genial and very kindly, with the
charming courtesy characteristic of the
highbred Southern gentleman. Sew
enty-eight years of age, Mr.. Davis has
yet fresh. and vigorous look. His
hair, mustache and whiskers are white
III part, but his eye is bright and
cheerful. His face in repose is almost
severely intellectual. but the smile
which lights up his mouth and his
quietly cheerful laugh dispel the first
Impression of coldness. Few Of our
puolic men have the quiet fascination
of manner, the old-fashioned grace
aud the charming conversational pow.
e's Of Jefferson Davis. His memory
Is capacious and retentiye. One might
with facils phonograpic pen collect
great stores Of "reminiscences from his
lips. He loves to talk of the Confed-
eracy, and his eyes flash with their
old fire when he Indignantly defends
his administration of the Southern
cause from the ISLANDERS Of its enemies.
A patriotic regard for public safety
imposed silence upon Mr.. Davis while
the war continued, and a magnanimity
which they have neither deserved nor
appreciated, coupled with a proper
sense of personal dignity, have i'm
pelled him since to refrain from the
refutation of many misstatements by
his enemies utterly scandalous and
inexcusable.
He is man Of studious habits,
consistent Christian, the truest Of
husbands, the most sffectionate of
fathers. the best of neighbors and one
OF the kindest of masters. He rises
about 9 o'clock in the morning. reads
his mail and answers it, then devotes
the remainder of the day to receiving
visitors. riding over the estate and
and studying the various fields of
literature and philosophy. He is a
skilful euchre player, and nearly
every evening enjoys a social game
with his family or visiting friends.

half of Jones and his gang that an in
disnaticn meeting was held and two
Of the offending citizens were hung in
efigy aud ordered to leave the town.
One of them, Moses Clinton, left and
went to Cincinatti.. and was elected
by the Democrats of that city a mem
Der of the board Of aldermen.
For years all this gang held Law
renee County in a state of turmoil,
aud now the people are afraid to say
much, as Jones from his cell in the
peuitentary sends out threats of ven
geance he expects 10 wreck when he
gets ont. Several attempts have been
made osscure his pardon but so far
they have failed. After awhile. how
ever, a complacent governor will be
found. and Jones will be turned loose.
From his well known vindictive
character it is believed that release.
whenever it does take place, will be
followed by a series ofarpalling crimes,
In which those who have taken active
part against him will be the victims
The Moodys are all dead-the last
dying not long after the conviction Of
Jones. The Tollivers, l believe, have
all removed from the state.
Another desperate gang in that
section is that OF the Reeveses. Rob.
berry, murder, and arson are but play
time with them. but SO far they have
escaped being brought to justice. So
well are they organized that the off
GERS can take no move against them
without their being speedily informed
oil it, and when the sheriff makes his
appearance they boldly attack him
and whip him off, In attempting to
arrest them more than one officer has
lost his life. Now that the Archer
gang is broken up, perhaps that Of the
Reeveses will soon be DESTROYED.

They had encountered one another in

at a point where several roads met,
and had agreed to dine together in
honor Of the coincidence.
The dinner lasted a good while. for
all three had walked far that morn

heroes showed signs of having had
