Mr. GEORGE W. CABLE, 10 the December
number Of the Forum. agrees with Mr.. John
Wise that the best and easiest way to settle
the Southern question is to allow the ne
groes TO have all the offices 10 all the COM
uunilies, large or small, in which they have
a moj9rily of the voters; in other words,
that there should be negro supremacy in all
the towns citiep, counties and States of the
south in which the majority ofthe votes al
ne roes OF course the reaesesry result of
sqch condition would be the immediate
destruction of the value Of all sorts of pro
petty in every such community. But both
Mr. Cable aud Mr. Wise have left the South,
for her good, and gone North, where their
expressions of hate for their own people find
more ready, if less appreciative, listeners
than in the land of which they would make
a bsrbarous desert

day and all day is q children's party.
and the little saigo children and their
heirloom dolls are busy all the time.
The dolls are fed daily and put through
all the ordinary occupations Of life,
and the festival keeps up for fort
night. After that the host OF dolls
and their belongings are put away
until next March, and the ordinary
everyday dolls do for the rest of the
year. The Dolls Festival In this way
becomes the great season of the little
people, and when the beautiful images
emerge from the storehouses after
their long hiding they are as enchant-
ing as IL new and TO be broken within

anese ideas OF life and enjoyment and
the gentleness of their manners than
this bringing out of all the dolls for
one fete week in the year, and their
handing them down from generation
to generation.

The wonderful endurance OF the
cat, its having nine lives, etc. has be-
come proverbial, but the truth of the
assertion was never more fully demon
strated than in the experience OF a
feline that In some manner found Its
way into the Observer press-room some
time last night. To understand what
befell pussy little explanation is
necessary. On the shaft which runs
the press is loose pulley, over which
the belt passes when the press Is not
in use. This pulley is of iron and
hollow. Next TO 1t is tight pulley,
TO which the belt Is shifted when IL Is
desired TO start the press. These
pulleys are near the floor back of the
press, and are boxed up so as TO pre-
vent injury to parties working about
the press The box Is of wood and
has a movable cover. The engine
was started about 8 o'clock this morn
ing and with il the loose pulley. IL
had been running about two hours
when FRESHMAN Ryals noticed some
thing white inside the rapidly revolv-
ing pulley, which he at first thought
to be rag or piece OF paper. IL was
going so fast that IL was impossible
to distinguish what it was, and the
engine was stopped to make an in
vestigation. Then IL was found To
be white cat snugly curled up in
side the pulley. IL did not seem
possible that pussy could be alive
after making about four hundred
revolutions minute for nearly two
hours. but when an attempt was made
TO take her out she quickly demon
strated that she was not dead nor
even dizzy. She quickly darted into
the further. or tight pulley, and fought
like young tiger any one who
essayed TO remove her. She was
finally dislodged, however. She then
proceeded TO prove that she was as
lively cat as ever, and IL was some
time before she could be captured.
Upon being caught she was taken
out OF doors and given her liberty,
when she went like white streak,
presumably for home, where il is
hoped she related her wonderful ex-
perience and narrow escape 10 her
sister felines, and warned them 10
keep away from printing offices here
after. AS matter OF fact the cat
did not appear TO have suffered In the
least by what 1t had Undergone

Idiots have been known whose m en-
DRY for names and words was so reten-
tive that they could repeat n sermon
verbatim. and indicate where the
preacher blew his nose and coughed
while delivering IL.
Grotius and Pascal forgot nothing
they had ever read or thought. Car
dial Mazzofanti. the lnguist who Is
said TO have known hundred langu-
ages, declared that he never forgot a
word he had once learned.
An English clergyman mentions a
man who could remember the day of
the burial Of every person who had
died in the parish during thirty-1ve
years, and could also repeat the name
and age of each deceased person and
the names of the mourners nc his fun
eral. But SO weak was he intellectu-
ally that he could not be trusted 20
feed himself
While DR.. John Leyden, the orient
alist, was in Calcutta, there arose
case which turned on the exact word
ing OF an act of parliament A copy
OF the act could not be found, but
Leyden, having read IL before leaving
England, made a copy from memory.
Nearly year after printed copy OF
the act arrived from London, and it
was found 20 be identical with the
transcript Leyden had made.
To friend who congratulated Ley
den on his remarkable memory, he re-
piled that he often found IL source
OF great Inconvenience. On the friend
expressing surprise, he exclaimed that
he had often wished TO recollect par
ticular expression in something he had
read. but could not do IL until he had
repeated the whole passage from the
beginning 10 the expression he desired
TO recall.
DIR. Moffat. the distinguished Afri-
can missionary, and the father in law
OF DR.. Livingstone, once preached a
long sermon 10 crowd OF negroes.
shortly after he had finished, he saw a
number of negroes gathered about a
simple-looking young savage. He
went TO them and discovered that the
savage was preaching his sermon over
again. Not only was he reproducing
the precise words, but initiating the
manner and gestures Of the white
preacher.

At the WRONG Window.

A good story is told by the Troy
On. ~ times Mt tho expense OF the
Amherst College Cleo Club. About ten
years ago the club made Il trip through
New York State. aud sung in Rochus-
ter ut the same time that Kate PEN
noyer, pretty stage singer. was
there. After the concert II was pro-
posed 10 scrcnndc the lady. and tho
club proceeded To her home and struck
up the familiar college hymn. Dear
Evelina," paraphrasing the chorus
thusly;
"Dear Kate Pennoycr
Sweet Kate Pennoyer,
Our love for thee
Shall nevor, never die"
After singing the entire song the
boys waited n moment for recognition
OF their serenadc Slowly n window
In the third story was ra sod, later a
man clothed In robes OF white and
with whiskers foot long was seen.
and then bass solo was waited down
to the collegians:
''Dcar boys below there,
Sweet boys below there,
Your Kate PennOycr
Lives four doors below here"
As the last words Of his song died
on the frosty air. the Amherst College
Glee Club gathered themselves up like
Arabs aud as silently stole away.
