A TROPICAL TOWN.
The Quaintest, Oueerest and Prettiest oi

The Ouaintest, Oueerest and Prettiest Of
West Indian Cities.
We are ashore in St. Pierre, the
quaintest, queerest and the prettiest
withal among the West Indian cities;
all stone-built and stOne-flagged, with
very narrow streets, wooden awnings.
iron balconies, and peaked roofs of red
tile pierced by gabled dOrmers. Most
of the buildings are painted in a clean
pale yellow tone, which contrasts de.
lightfully with the burning blue rib.
bon of tropical sky above; and no
street is absolutely level. Nearly all
of them climb hills, descend into hol.
lows, curve, twist, describe sudden and
amazing angles. There is everywhere
a continuous chant of running water,
pouring through the deep cutters con.
trived between the paved thorough
fare and the absurd little side
walks varying in width from one
to three feet The architecture is very
old; it is seventeenth-century prob
ably: and it reminds one a great deal
of that characterizing the antiquated
French quarter of New Orleans. But
one must imagine New Orleans ideal
lied by artistic conception, made in
tensely tropical, and projected auda-
ciously upon the side of a huge
volcanic hill. All the tints, the forms,
the vistas, would seem to have been
especially selected or designed for
aquarelle studies, just to please the
whim of some eXtravagant artist No
ruin was ever more picturesque than
these living streets in their perfect
solidity and undilapidated quaintness.
The windows are frameless openings
without glass; some have iron bars; all
have heavy wooden shutters with
movable Stats, through which light
and air can enter "a through Venetian
blinds. These are usually painted
green or bright bluish-gray. .-Lafcadi0

VERY NATURAL HISTORY.
An Exceedingly Mew-ving Essay on the
Cat and Her Habits.

An Exceedingly Mew-ving Essay on the
Cat and Her Habits.
I am going to write this article for
nv own amusement and to ill up
space. My editor objects to natural
history anecdotes, but | feline know
more about the cat this week than
any thing else, so | am preparing this
item on purpose.
1t has been limited in well-informed
circles that the cat is quadruped,
because, forsoOth, it has four feet, but
any such claim is four-feeted when we
remember that every yard contains
at least one cat at nights, and yard
is only three feet.
How cats originated is only known
to the promoters Of the scheme, Dul
they are indigenous to roofs, back
fences and vacant lots, and command
considerable attention from the COM
munity at large and small. 1t is be-
lieved that the earlier settlers came
from Kamscatka, while other accounts
assert that Catalonia was their native
country. When you meet Catalonia
you might ask it.
Cats are OmniyOrOus. carnivOrOus.
gramnivorOus and the rest OF the
ivorouses They kill mice and rats,
and some people have seen CatSklll
mountains but this statement Is as old
as the hills themselves.
Cats are of two brands, the Tom and
the Tabby, and there used tabby q
third species called the "cat-o nine
tails but this is being regularly used
up-at the penitentiary.
Although the cat is called DO
mestic animal, it is not quite so useful as
a horse or a COW, but q cattle furnish
more music than either of the larger
ouadrupeds. And its hearers get more
NEW sick, too.
The power that an average cat has
over the ordinary human being is re-
markable. | have known men to lie
awake at night and listen to the i'm
promptu duets of a Tom and Tabby,
listeu to the soul-stirring melody Of an
inspired nocturne, and, in the wildneSs
of their enthusiasm, lacking the pre-
scribed floral tribute to merit, throw to
the performers their bOotjackS, boots
and even chamber crockery. l have
known men do this. | have seem
them do it. | have done it myself. o.I /
1t has been said, and truly, that d
cat has nine lives, and this is one pow
erful reason why insurance companies
can never be got to insure the life, OF
lives, of pussy. If you ask them to dc
so they will say it is impussyble.
"And yet, 'to what base uses may we
vet return?n A cat, when really dead
for the ninth and last time of asking,
is not only used for bass purposes but
for fiddles also, and it must bow to cir
cumstanCes.
1t would be a violinsinuation to say
that it did not do its duty as well in
death as in life, and if any one, familiar
with the midnight pleadings OF fav'
orite tomcat, should listen to the al
leged music of an amateur viOlinist
and not recognize the affinity between
their respective performances, that
man or woman is dead to the wonder
full condolences of na ture.-Ie1dS Syt'

MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT.

Out OF the depths of the Unknown Deep.
Borne at the breast the crimson Morn,
Cometh from lonely, dreamless sleep
Blossoms of Hope, and life is born;
Beauteous buds are they, whose birth
Sheddeth glory over earth.
Fragrant and fair is the morning air,
Thrilling and sweet with the kiss of Spring;
Cloudess the skies and divinely rare
In strokes of unrivaed penciling;
Glorious time! Maturity
Lieth far in Futurty.
High over earth in eternal space
Sitting through silent airs his rays
Shineth the sum- whose mighty face
Burneth to ashes Summer days.
Days that are filled with life and light,
Rich in perfumes of blossoms bright.
Into the blue of the summer sky
Drifteth a little cloud; away
In the hazy depths of the North sigh,
Hollow and sad floats upward: stay!
Hour that goeth all too soon;
Lnger, thou joy-inwOven Noonl
'Iengthen the chain in the day link,
O glorious Noon! that may lie,
Kissed by the beams, DER the frowning brink
OF Life's decline, and with 'raptured eye
Feast on the sweets of Manhoods prime,
Falling away from the scythe of Time"
Leaden and chill are the autumn skies;
Drifteth the yellow leaves around;
Riseth the whistling wind and flies
Screaming afar with doleful sound;
Tro,pIocc 70 folds and the 0reary plain
Mingles its chill with the wintry rain
Out of the glare of the roaring Day,
Into the bleachless gloom of Night
Borne at the breast of pale Decay,
Blossomless buds OF Hope from sight
Slip to eternal calm and sweep
Out and beyond the Unknown Deep.

DUBOIS SPEECH IN 1886.

By request we publish the following
as Mr.. Dubois speech made to
the citizens Of Lewiston on the evening
Of Oct. Is, 1886;
"Thc annexation question is the mos,
pcrplexins issue in your politics. Per,
sonal|y, as you know, l am opposed to
the segregation of this territory, so is my
opponent Mr.. Haley. l will not pledge
myself to work officially Tor the passage
of bill annexing these four northern
counties to Washington or Montana. /
could not if l would, l would not if I
could There is bill now pending in
the senate based upon the platforms sub
mitted by both parties two years ago. l
had nothing to do with that bill; l will
not oppose, nor have ever opposed it.
If am elected l do not take my seat
until March 4, 1887. If the present
bill become law, then the question is
settled and shall not be called upon to
act in the premises. IF it is not settled
by the present congress then it must be
presented to the newly elected body as
new messure. In Shoshone county the
question of annexation to Washington or
Montana will be submitted to vote Of
the people this fall. They will settle
the question themselves, and it the ques-
ton is presented in congress next year,
| suppose that they will demand that
their wishes be respected. l concede
that in this county and Idaho county
the people desire annexation to Wash
ington. can only say to you that if l
am elected will present to congress fair

petition you may send. | will introduce
to committees any gentlemen you may
send to Washington to advocate the
measure as responsible and reliable, and
as correctly representing the wishes of
your people. l must aud will do the
same thing for any other section of the
territory. Officially, l must and will
represent fairly and inpartially every
section of Idaho and the wishes of its
people. l cannot do less than represent
all sections of the territory and I cannot
do more. Ifby vote the people Of Sho-
shone county favor annexation to Mon
tana should expect the new bill to re-
spect their choice. I will not oppose
your wishes officially; l will see officially
that you are fairly heard and your claims
justly represented. There is so much
conflict now on this question that, in my !
judgement, you should send delegations
