The Lost City of Norembega.

recently visited the SPOT which Prof
Horsford, OF Cambridge, has recently dis
covered to have been the lost French city of
Norembega. This lost city has always been
supposed to have situated on the Penobscot,
in Maine, until these recent discov cries.
Prof Horsford declares it to have been in
the town of Weston, in this state. 1t is just
over the Waltham line, is a peninsula,
bounded on one side by Stony brook, a
stream about fifteen feet wide, and Charles
river. All that remains to mark the site
of Norembega are the trenches, which
probably were just outside of the stockade.
These trenches, however, are clearly de-
fined, and consists of one which follows the
bounds of the peninsula and shorter one
which extends about the little hill on which
the enclosure was probably situated. The
trenches are three or four feet deep and five
or six feet wide The outer one is walled
with stone An evidence that these trenches
are OF very old construction is seen in the
trees which have grown up in them, displac-
ing the stones These trees are oak, which
you know are OF very slow growth. and are
some of them over two feet in diameter

this association. By simply SUBJ
scribing to the World you become
a member. No fees, no extra cost
of any kind whatever. Every
member will receive a Autographed

square. Take advantage of it.

SOME FINAL REMARKS.

The Ford and Murphy matter
has been very fully discussed, and
the prevailing sentiment IS that
thew should not be hung. AS usual
the more violent reform journals
in the State blame the Governor
for granting reprieves to these men,
but the fair minded reform papers,
do not condemn the Governors
action. Journals like the Natchi-
toches Review, Monroe Bulletin
and others that are Enthusiastically
opposed to "the ring but that can,
at the same time, recognize and
approve the good deed or deeds,
of a political opponent, do not hes
itate to oppose hanging these men.
All the twaddle about ring infiu-
ence in this case is humbug. If
the ring were capable of doing half
the corrupt actions they are credit
ed with, these men would never
have been convicted while as fact
the New Orleans journals prose-
cuted the case with even greater
zeal that the prosecuting attorney,
if that were possible.
The undignified and bitter Ian
guage ofthe Picayune, which journ-
al is presumably friend to Louis
lana, has shaped the opinion of
journals outside of the State, and
has done great injury to Louisiana,
by fostering the belief that this
State, and particularly New Or
leans, is hot bed of murder, and
unpublished murderers. The Phil
adelphia Press, Chicago Tribune
and papers of that ilk, which are
always ready to misrepresent this
State, seize the occasion to dis
course on the evils ofring influence,
and the control of New Orleans by
thugs. Even the New Y ork World,
fair journal, has been misled.
Among the signers of the last Pc
tition for reprieve, were some of
the best citizens of New Orleans,
business men, who take little or no
part in politics, the District Attor-
ney who prosecuted the case, eleven
of the jurors who convicted these
men, and many other prominent
men, (not men of political promi-
nence,) and yet they talk of hood
lums, thugs, and rings.
1t is such talk as this that does
damage to the State. Communication
of the sentence of these men would
be the best way to satisfy justice.
They were umustly convicted, by
jury frightened out of their senses,
by the savage talk of the so-called
ring rgaRsoapa just le & ssie,, aloud
that these men shouisA'-.ot hang.
There is no ring business in this
question. No political capital can
be made out of it. The Governor
has done right, and the Board of
Pardons should stop posing and do
right also.

THE SLAUGHTER OF CATS.
How Some Citizens Abated Feline
Nuisance Forty Years Ago.
From the Washington Star.

From the washington Star.
''Did you ever hear" asked an old resi-,
dent few days ago of reporter, ''hot
the slaughter of The CATS was brought
aboutp'
MOP was the answer, 81 never knew
of any particular slaughter OF the feline
Species"
"Weu,'' continued the old resident,
"folty years ago or thereabouts there was
a square not far from the Patent Office in
which the cats had multiplied 80 that it
was mooted question whether the rO-
dents or felines were in the ascendaDcy.
The cats and kittens fairly swarmed, and
those who lived on the square finally came
to the conclusion that the party who
would devise some effective means of
thinning them out would be entitled to
the gratitude of the neighb0rs. This set
the wits of some of the inhabitants at
work, and 1t was not long before there
appeared before one Of the doors an i'm
mense placard: Wanted Cats hair.
Highest cash price will be paid AS may
be supposed, this soon attracted the
notice of the boys, and due inquiry
ELECTED the reply that a sudden demand
for genuine cats hair had sprung up. and
the article at that time commanded So 80
per pound. The Immediate result was
that for several days none OF the boys of
the neighborhood could be seen on the
streets, but the continuous sound OF
stones thrown at the cats in the alleys
told where they were and what they were
about. Some ak or eight days had passed
and the sign did not appear to have drawn
in the first ounce. About shutdown the
dealer noticed approaching his shop from
an alleyway a crowd of some thirty boys
bearing in their midst a long tiVe-bushel
hay sack stuffed full. 1t was dropped at
his door beneath his astonlshed gaze.
"'Wby, bOysn asked the dealer, what
have you tbereP
""Cat's hair, sir said the largest boy.
Every bit cats hair; killed them first and
then plucked the hairs can swear to it all,
SIR
"'Why," exclaimed the dealer, Il fear
that you will break me if you want your
pay in lump, but bring in the bag. Let's
look at it,
''Rhe bag was carried in and hastily
opened, when the dealer exclaimed; Tut
put! boys, you have it all mixed. / can't
to anything with the hair as it is After
desitating he continued: Since you have
had all your trouble I'll tell you what Pll
hO. just take it back and sort out the
dair, put every shade TO itself, and Pll
hllow you an advance Of Zoe. on the
aound; that will make So % per pound.'
"This satisfied the boys ana they re-
turned with the bag, and it is needless TO
say that after an attempt TO separate the
hair they gave up the job. The neighbors
had accomplished their object and the
number of cats was reduced TO less than
nothing"
