from His Tour.
New YORK, Jan. Nv II. Delaney,
counsel for the Kansas Pacific bondholders
who are suing Gould and Sage to recover
several millions of alleged Incorporated
securities, has written President Cleveland
calling his attention to the fact that, as
shown by the report of the Pacific railway
commission, the interest of the government
is identical with that of the bondholders re :.
ferred to, in regard to the security furnished
by the Kansas Pacific bonds. Mr.. Delaney
urges that the sinking fund requirement to
be imposed on the Kansas Pacific property
should leave sufficient amount to pay the
interest on the Junior securities held by his
clients. Delaney suggests that Gould should
be extradited from the foreign country
where he is at present, and made to answer
the suit brought against him.

EMMY affirm that the pork packers and
butchers Of this city are particular to OK
clude bruised or lame hogs, or any hogs
showing any symptoms of any ailment or
disease whatsoever; that the grade of hogs
bought by the packers is healthy and
sound, and entirely free from what Is
known as hog cholera; that all dead
or smothcred hogs received by the
National Stock Yards are sold to
the rendering companies and are by
them rendered into grease. We find that
the statements reported to have been made
BY William G. Bar:le. who acknowledged
that he knowingly slaughtered diseased
hogs for human food, are wholly unworthy
Of credit and utterly false"

to the Western avenue roundhouse that all

Doughertv, an engineer, acted as sposcs-

case briefly, as he understood it, and then
said:

This ended the conference, the men with

a short CONSULTATION and departed. The
strikers hung around for while and one

A GOOD CAT STORY.


How Passion and Egotism Ran Away with
E Calm wisdom.
One day two learned men, who had
studied Nature all their lives. and who
had spent every day examining ami
mails Of all kinds and knew how to talk
about each one. sat together discussing
beasts and worms, fishes and birds and
all species Of plants and trees. from the
cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop that
grows on the wall. Both were pleased
and complimented each other. At
length they began to talk about the
characteristics and habits Of cats.
They then disagreed and lively dis
pute ensued. For one of them said:
'.The cat is the most malicious and
noisome animal, false and mischievous.
a tiger in disposition as well as in ap-
pearance, though fortunately not in
size and strength, for which last named
fact we can not thank and praise
Heaven enough" But the other said:
1.-THE cat may be compared to the lion;
for, beside resembling him in appear
ance, she is like him noble and gener-
Gus; she is clearly and gentle. and
therefore naturally at enmity with the
dirty and intrusive dog. In short. she
is the most useful animal for which
man can not thank and praise Heaven
enough" Then the other flew into a
passion. for he was fond of dogs and
referred to the dogs of Ulysses, Tobin
and Frederick the Great. But the
other confuted his argument by allud-
ing to the cats of Leibnitz, the great
philosopher. who had done so much to
enlighten the world and to exalt others
in wisdom and knowledge. Without
coming to any agreement they parted
at enmity with each other. The one
went home to his aviary; for he kept
living birds. some of which the cats had
eaten. The other went to his museum
of stuffed birds and animals. which, to
his great vexation. the mice were de-
stroying. Such are the judgments of
passion and egotism.- Court.
