rPhiI Robinson, in the Contemporary Review1
The Egyptians, though they may not wor-
ship the little animal nowadays, have an in
ordinate liking for cats, perhaps, of an old
werld sanctity. They are to be seen every
where, not one at time, but in half dozens,
and in less frequented parts of the town as
many as 20 may be seen in waste corner
holding an afternoon conversazione. When,
therefore, the British shells knocked down
the houses of Alexandria and the inmates
fed, the cats found themselves homeless and
friendless, and they gathered together in
pathetic assemblies upon the debris of the
shattered walls. How -gaunt and dreadful
they werel Charitable folk used to collect
scraps for them but the sufferings of the
creatures must have been very great, and
doubtless, if the truth were known, very few
of the Alexandrian cats lived through the
mementous crisis of British occupatiod with
cut sharp apprehensions of cannibalism. All
day long they prowled among the rubbish
heaps of fallen masonry or sat about in groups
pathetically mute and most unnaturally re-
gardless of passers-by. In Suakim also they
are utterly callous to their surroundings, but
there the similarity ceases. For in their case
| Indifference is begotten of a preposterous
prosperity. So consequential are they that
they do not move out of the road, and the
| Arab, when. he stumbles over them, sWears
| at them, but never molests them. The baz
| aars are full of them, and they fight and
make love in the thoroughfares in broad day
light as if it were the most natural thing il
| the world for cats to do so. Till then I had
| thought Grimalkin was a nocturnal beast
| For in Europe we are accustomed to see them
sleepy and lazy all day, and to hear them
noisy and active all night. But this is only,
apparently, geographical accident. In the
| Soudan, at any rate, cats are diurnal and &c
| to bed at sunset, while in Suakim in particu-
| lar, where the people live so largely upon
| fish, and the refuse of their meals lies in
| heaps at every corner, the feline tribe have
| assumed much of the importance and some
| thing of the demeanor of dogs. They lie un-
der the stalls or sit upon the bedsteads-
| which, after Oriental fashion, stand in the
| open air-as if in charge of the premises and
! property. Eor one thing there are very few
dogs It is true they are unclsan beasts to
the Moslem, but perhaps the eats have made
it impossible for any dog of spirit to exist.
Indeed, such an endless multitude of them is
| enough to break the heart of even an Eng
| lish terrier. But physically they have de-
| Perforated into the merest trayesty of their
race. They are absurdly small and proper
| tionately meagre, with sharp noses, fiat, thin
| heads, and very short fur, while the shoul-
der blades stick up above the level of their
backs in the queerest fashion. So when
came back to England l was at first sur
| prised at the very large size of all the cats
saw, their extraordinary plumpness and the
| thickness of their fur.

ASSESSMENT INSURANCE..

ASSESSMENT INSURANCE.
Perhaps in no State in the Union has as
sessment insurance had such run as in
Pennsylvania, and it is interesting and not
improbable to notice how it has worked.
The assessment insurance has fallen off
very rapidly in Pennsylvania since the dis
graceful graveyard speculation of few years
ago. No less than two hundred and thirty
six companies were Incorporated in the State
under the act of 1876, the most of which
ran their swindling course rapidly, though
with some the process of liquidation is still
going on. The number of these companies
in operation had been reduced to thirty
seven in 1882, in 1884 to seventeen, and in
1886 to twelve, of which three survived only
in nome and three others were on the brink
of dissolution, SO that practically the assess
ment companies of the State are now re-
duced to six, and quite one-half of their
membership belongs to one organization that
antedates the graveyard craze.
The law of Pennsylvania provides that no
assessment insurance company shall be
chartered except upon proof that it has &C.
cured applications for at least 100000 OF
insurance from at least two hundred per
sons, and that 2 per cent. of the insurance
applied for, or 81, 1000, has been deposited
in cash to the credit of the mortuary fund
and SO secured as to be applicable to no 9th
er purpose. This provides some kind OF
safeguard at least, and puts stop to merely
wildcat enterprises. The law does not ap-
ply, however, to corporations of other States.
Legitimate life insurance profits by the
decline of assessment insurance in Pennsyl-
vania. The insurance in force at the close
of 1885 upon the lives of residents of the
State aggregated 371 ,31e policies, insuring
1856, ,4S9, ,99S. About eight and quarter
millions of dollars were paid in pre-
miums in the State during the year, an
increase OF nearly 81 900, 900 over the pre-
vious year.

coast, and if politicians would let it alone it
would create little excitement here.

The principal key of the old French Bas-
tile was recently discovered at Villeneuve
rArcheveque, in the department of Yonne.
NJ. Deligrand, who placed it before the
Archaeological society of Sens and vouehed
for its authenticity, related that after the
first attempt to storm the Bastille the lock-
smith Plancon was asked to repair the dam
age to the lock. He had not yet finished his
work when the Bastille was again attacked
and he was compelled to flee, taking the
key with him. He left Paris and settled in
his native place, Rigny-le-Ferron, not far
from Villeneuve PArcheveque. There he
died in 1880, after having bequsathed the
key to a friend by the nane of Vernay, in
whose family it has remained ever since.
The key is over foot long and beautifully
worked. Another key of the Bastille, net
belonging, however, to the principal lock,
was presented by Lafayette to Washington,
and is still preserved at Mount Vernon.

The New York boycotters are finding out
that they can't boycott the law, which in the
pride of ignorance and insolence they defed.
The New Haven boycotters do not learn
quickly, but we believe they will ultimately
make similar discovery.
And now it is claimed that the Typogrsph-
ical union of New York defeated Blaine.
We can't believe it. If the claim were made
that the powerful and influential New Hav-

would be more plausible.
A little girl who lives IN New Orleans has
propounded a question which may interest
some of the theologians. She asked her
mother the other day how it was that Adam
and Eve came to leave the garden of Eden,
and was told that the devil entered the
garden in the form of q serpent and tempted
them, and God banished them. The little
child pondered over the reply for few mo-
ments, and looking up, said: Mamma,
why didn't God send the devil away instead
of Adam and Eve. They were in the garden
first"
1t is asserted that the Knights of Labor
and the Grand Army will take an active
part in politics this year. So far as the
Grand Army is concerned this assertion
probably has little foundation in fact, ano
we believe that when its members, or the
| members of the Knights of Labor
come to vote, they will vote
very much according to their indi

to be pushed into power by either of these
organizations will in most cases probably
get decidedly left.
Captain Lyle, who was for some years en-

Gus treatment. He was allowed to look al
the outside of the manufactures, but not te
investigate. He says that European officers
who have visited this country for similar
purposes have always HAD carte blanche tc
