A Norwich Comm dispatch says;
Columbia people were surprised the
other day to see cat chase big rat
out OF house and tree il ON tall elm
in the front yard. The cat kept on
after the rat to the top of the tree and
the rat ran out to the end OF a thin,
plant bough then the rat turned to-
ward the cat with a did f-hear-you-
say-anvthing? expression, whisked
his tail and showed its teeth. The
cat tried twice to go out to the rat,
but, though the distance was not
more than two feet, the attempt was
abandoned, none too soon in the
evident opinion of the cat.
The cat slid down into the topmost
crotch of the tree, sat up and slashed
the limbs with her tail. The rat fol-
lowed suit. 1t sat up, rubbed its fore
paws, cooked its nose defiantly toward
the sky and whisked its tail. The cats
owner finally came out OF the house
with a double-barreled shotgun and
pointed it toward the top of the tree.
Then the cat sat up briskly and
watched the aim, just as a dog would
do If his master was squirting up a
tree at gray squirrel. The rat paid
no attention. The piece cracked. the
rat shot upward two inches and fell to
the ground. Instantly that cat
scrambled down the tree, picked up
the rat and ran off, and the village oi
Columbia, which had gathered to see
! the fun, retired gleefully to its houses

There is growing disposition
among BUSINESS men to employ women
as bookkeepers, cashiers and confden-
tial clerks. This step in the direction
OF right is the result OF mans lessen
ing confidence in the integrity OF his
own sex. That he has just cause for
this doubt is manifest 10 all who have
noted the almost daily exodus OF de-
faulting business managers, cashiers
and other trusted agents 10 that con-
genial cline OF rogues, the Dominion
of Canada.
Until very recently woman was
thought incompetent to perform any
service but such as led to the school
room, the nursery or the kitchen, and
whenever she had the temerity to ven-
ture into the lecture field or essay a
profession she was proclaimed "short
hair" by the men and labeled an inn
pudent mink by the women, who,
foolish creatures, saw in her laudable
efforts the debasement OF their sex.
A true woman's ambition in life is
to maintain a character above re-
proach, and that noble desire pre-
serves her true not only TO her domes-
tic allegiance, but TO the interest OF
her employer, should she have one.
DO We ever hear of a woman cashier
absconding with funds of firm? or
OF a woman bookkeeper making false
entries? Has ever a confidential
woman clerk sold the secrets of her
employer to his enemy? No. Woman
Is above such base and dishonorable
acts, having never INDUCED in poker,
faro or futures with forced loan from
The safe Of her employer.-Galyeston

pended Person Indicate suffer

Roes the Struggling of sus-
pended Person Indicate suffer
isgf
The opinion was recently expressed
by a physician that a person strug-
Cling after being hanged would suffer
Just as long as the struggle continued.
Doctors differ. DIR. Blothardt is OF the
opposite opinion. Z" As soon," said
he, :" as the pressure takes place upon
the trachea and the blood vessels Of
the neck, there is congestion Of the
brain, followed by congestion Of the
lungs, and insensibility and cessation
Of respiration Immediately ensue.
The congestion of the brain makes
the person unconscious.
"Win he kick or struggle while in
that condition OF Inconsistencies p
THAT depends on the muscular ac-
ton. II the spinal cord is ruptured
during the fall, the jerking that takes
place by the body falling and stretch
ing the cord-usually calico fracture
of the spine-is followed by paralysis
of the entire body, in which case
there would be no struggling. That is
how the man ought to be hanged,
But as to cases in which struggling o.,
the body occurs that is mere nervous
twitching. At the battle OF Lexing-
ton saw a man shot with large ball
in the skull, which was blown right
off. lie ran for distance OF $50 or
300 yards towards the field hospital
and then fell. He must have been
dead before, or soon after, he began to
run; but at the moment of being
struck he had turned around to-
ward the hospital, and, the idea OF
getting there being the last in his
mind, had caused his body to take a
bee line toward me. Hanging is the
ame kind of death as drowning.
People have been taken out Of the
water who, when restored, recollected
nothing whatever after they fell in.
There have been cases, too, OF men
hanging themselves, and remaining
unconscious for hours, who, after be-
ing reinyigorated, did not remember
anything subsequent to the atiixing OF
the rope or handkerchief"
But il the rope should be so clum.
silly fixed as TO miss the larnyx and
slip too near the edge OF the chin ?"
Then the person would probably
die by suffocation OF the lungs, and
congestion of the brain would take
place anyway"
And if the rope be placed under

He Escaped Punishment Because
Maiiidy had n Soprano Voice.

There was an exciting scene one day
last week in an Austin Court. The
neighbors of Gabe Snodgrass, living
on Austin Avenue, were compelled to
have him arrested. He had whipped
his wife, and her screams were so ter
rife that crowd at a salocn ten
blocks distant put their untouched
glasses back on the bar and went to
the door to see what was the matter.
Both Gabe and his wife were in court.
What do you mean, SIR" said his
Honor sternly, by such cruel treat
ment of her whom you have vowed at
the altar to love and cherish ?"
Gabe assumed a persuasive attitude
and emphasized every word he said by
the most extravagant gestures. He
was laboring under intense mental
excitement.
"I'll explain it ter yer, Jedge. Foah
God, | hardly touched her wild the toe
of my boot / tell yer, Jedge, dat mig
gers voice am ter blame. When she
sings it sounds like a whole camp
meetin'. Am to blame because Ma
Tidy has got voice like a biler ex-
plodin' ?"
His Honor shook his head, as if to
intimate the theory was too thin.
Yer don't believe me? Now,
Jedge, jess you jedge for yo'self," and
lifting up hoof the size of ham he
gave Matildy kick that would have
iolted an elephant. She threw hel
hands up and opened her mouth as
big as circus hippopotamus. She
gave a prolonged yell that caused tive
teams to run away and made every
body in the courtroom hold his hands
| to his ears.
Oar" said Gabe triumphantly
when she subsidized, is yer gwine tel
punish me bekase she has go
a soprano voice? Is | ter blame be
kase she makes primer donner outer

His Honor dismissed the case

The Coupon Crusher. ,


Rock bringe Neus: 1t is not generally
known to Inc people of Virginia that
their deliverance from the thraldom Of
the bondholders, by The conception and
enactment OF the Coupon CruSher," is
largely due to two distinguished citizens
of Rocktridge. Hon. J. Randolph Tucker
and Judge w lillian Mclaughlin
After Mr.. Tucker, lii July, 1856 APP
peared before Judge Bond, do counsel for
the State III The case of Dulany vs.. kountZ
Treasurer OF Shenandoah county. it oc
Cured to him, That Virginia could be
relieved of her difficulties, by bringing
suits in tire State courts for the amount
of their taxes. against those who had
rendered coupons. Upon his return to
Lexington in August. he revealed his
scheme to Judge Mclaughlin, who at
once appreciated its value. The general
proposition of the former was afterwards
perfected and put into shape by the latter.
Judge Mclaughlin consulted various
prominent Virginians as to the wisdom of
the plan, but with a few exceptions, they
discouraged it from tie start. SO much
impressed was he, however with the en-
barrassed condition of the State; and at
the same time with the power of the pro
posed measure to rellete her, that on
three occasions, in September, December
and January, he visited Gov. Lee, in
Richmond. and urged that something
