Broke the Cats Heart.

'Stories have often been told said
Emil Paul last night, "about fidelity
and intelligence of dogs, but 1 don't
think cats have ever been given enough
credit" and he stroked big black one
that lay doing on his knees.
''I was lying sick with malaria, about
two years ago, - he said, becoming rem
iniscent, ''and my little boy was diving
with pneumonia at the same time. The
baby lay with his mother on a bed and
| was on cot near them. l hadn't
slept at night for a great many years.
All the rest l had was in daytime. The
doctor told me that l must sleep nights
or | would not get well, ard one night
he gave me lot OF morphine. Before
l. took effect my wife had placed lamp
on chair beside the cot and lay read
ing. We had black cat that was a
great playmate for my boy. He was a
fine big fellow, and while the baby was
! sick he sat by the bed constantly eying
the boy, as if to say, ''Oh hurry up and
get we'll things are awfuIly dull with
odt you.'
Presently my wife and the baby fell
asleep. began to feel the drug, too,
| and | dropped asleep. was awakened
! by the cat scratching at my neck. The
bed clothes were on fire and burning
fercely, L jumped up and put tine flames
! out. l was holding a book when fell
asleep and L suppose as my arm dropped
/ knocked the lamp over and the cloth
ing caught fire. If it hadn't been for
that cat I'm sure we'd have been burn
ed to death.
We'll" continued Mr.. Paul, INV
! boy died. It was on Tuesday and we
kept the remains until Sunday. The
cat took up position under The coffin
and never left il TO eat or drink. An
| old Irish woman came in and saw him
there.
"'Oh take him a wSy,' she said
'shure he's bad luck and nv wife
locked him up in the closet. But he
hoTled and scratched the door, so told
them TO let him out. He ran back in
his old place under the coffin. He was
thin and looked half starved, Just az he
was. We put milk alongside him, but
be would not touch it. l sent for a
negro doctor, and lie tried to force
some medicine down the cats throat
The mouser wouldn't swallow It. We
buried the boy on Sunday. Monday
morning when l went into the room l
found our pet tabby stretched out where
he had mOurned, dead. He died OF
grief, tell you, ard nothing else.

For the Farmer.

As illustrating the difference between
the time consumed in tillage where the
rows are long or short, Secretary Bon
ham, of the Ohio State Board Of Agri-
culture. gives an instance of a ield OF
c)rn 10 which the rows were ClO rods
long, the piece about one-third as wide.
The cultivation, about twenty-five
acres, requiring about three days for the
long way, and four and half days for
the cross cultivation.
Oil, says the American Agriculturist,
is fatal to every INSECT it touches and
sulphur is very offensive to them, \
mixture OF four ounces of lard and one
OF sulphur, well rubbed together, and
with the addition Of one ounce Of kero-
sene oil and one dram OF creosote, will
be found an excellent remedy against
all sorts of insect vermin, while the
liberal use Of kerosene oil on poultry
roosts will free the fowls Of tLeir tor
mentors.
Colonel Curtis says il the New York
Tribune that a mixtuIa Of two-thirds
oats and One-thirG corn has given him
much better results, especially with
breeding ewes, than corn alone. On
corn alone, with their hay, they become
feverish and very much disordcred with

Grants SorreI Horse,

The first time 1 saw Gen. Grant TO

of story teIlers the other day, twas in
November of 1864. was then attached
TO Hancock's headquarters, and was
sent to cary a dispatch to Gen. Grant.
1t was raining for all it was worth, and
the mud about those Petersburg trenches
was like glue. Putting my horse to g
gallop, was getting over the ground at
good rate, and soon 1 met ard passed
by solitary rider astride little sorrsl
horse. The mans slouch hat was pull
ed down over his eyes, and the rain was
coursing in streams down on the poncho
in which he was closely wrapped. a
moment later l came up with quite
group OF riders, and catching sight of q
lot of gold braid, jumped at the conclu-
sior that had struck some generals
staff. asked them if they knew where
Gen. Gr.nt was, and one of them said ::
why boy, you've just passed him. >
Without work 1 wheeled my horse
and dashed back to the solitary figure
ahead. AS came up he seemed to take
in the situation. for he said sharply:
"'Who are you looking for, young
man p
"'Are you Gen. Grant?' asked "a

Then he said:

four hours before, it looked SO bad. So
Yentured TO tell the fact :
because 1 didn't suppose General
Grant would ride such looking horse
as that
He burst out into hearty laugh,
and Gen. Badeau told me afterward
that it was the first time for a week he
had heard Grant laugh. The General
receipted on the envelope for the dis
patch and dismissed me. saying:
The next tine you are sent to Gen.
Grant perhaps you'll know him.
