preached a blind man at the southwest

BY this time 8 crowd had gathered
around the palr, and a lively interest
was manifested inthe proceeding. The
apostle OF faith cure knelt down and
offered a long prayer for the blind man,
while the crowd Kept increasing until it
nearly blocked UP Thirteenth street
After the prayer the ancient arose and
went through d series Of gyrations sim

and finally he took hold of the man,
rubbed his eyes, slapped his back,
pinched his checks, and asked him if he
could see, Tie tbs great disappoint-
ment Of the audience he replied he
could not. The faith cure man was
about TO begin his performance again

Gen. Hancock Helped to Cook the Dinner

One of Gen. Hancock,s Washington
friends was q liquor merchant named
Esberg, who kept bachelors hall at
Georgetown, was q great fovorite with
public men Of all politics, and had a
French of reputation, and q good wine
cellar. Whenever Gen. Hancock came
to Washington Esberg used to give him
dinner. after which would come a
game of whist, the stakes to go 10 the
servants. One day dinner was set for
IS O'Clock and Hancock was invited.
The chief tarried too long at the wine
cup and fell into a stupor. When the
guests arrived nothing had been
done towards getting dinner ready
The General suggested that they should
cook the dinner Themselves, A half
dozen canvas back ducks and dozen
tilets were hunted up, the table set, and
ia three-auarSers of an hour good din
ner was ready. Hancock helped cook
the dncks, and timed them with his
watch, dressed the salad, and ate with
great glee. THANK Heaven, ne said

a Ga T's NINE LIVES.
More Truth Than Fiction to Be Found in
The Popular Adage.


The Popular Adage.
OF the cat tits commonly said, saysia
writer III Popular Science Monthly,
that 1T has nine lives. By this saying
nothing very definite is meant beyond
the opinion that under various kinds of
death the cat lives longer than other
ANNALS that had TO be killed by violent
means. When any question is asked of
the police or of other persons who have
to take The lives of lower animals, they
tell you, without exception, according
to my experience, that the cat is the
most difficult OF all domestic animals,
and that it endures accidental blows
and falls with an inpunity that is quite
q distinguishing characteristic.
The general Impression conveyed III
these views is strictly correct up TO a
certain and well-marked degree. BY
tbs iethai death the value of the life Of
the cat is found TO be at least three times
the worth Of the dog. In all She cases

may be accepted without cayil.
