Tho American "rnurh.n

The tough is a product peculiar to
American city life. In other countries,
of course, you will find the rough and the
cad and the brutal coster, but it is only
in an American city that you will find the
tough. In other lands the man who
comes nearest to the tough is but a sub
lect, and a very poor one at that, and he
Is constantly more or less in dread of a
superior governing power. In America
the tough is a citizen, or at least claims
to be one, and he feels not only the equal
OF everybody else, but the superior of
everybody else, and he has a profound
scorn and contempt for all processes of
law. h tough is a terror, and there is
no reason why he should escape whipping.
Arrest or imprisonment he fears not, but
u good dose of the cat-o'-nine-tails might
bring him to reflect on the error of his
ways.-Boston Home Journal.

The Cat and he Dog.

The mastery of herself which a cat
shows when, having been caught in a DO
sition from which there is no escape, She
calmly sits down to face out the threats
OF a dog, is a marvellous thing. Every
body has seen a kitten IN a street door
step attacked by a dog ten times her size,
as apparently self possessed as if she were
In her mistress lap. If she turns tail and
runs down the street she is lost; the dog
will have a sure advantage of her. Even
as 1t Is, if he could get up courage enough
to seize her on the spot he would be able
to make short work of her. 1t is a case
of life n death; but the whole air and
attitude of the cat is one of pure and con-
fdent bravado. You dare not touch me,
and you know it," is what her position
tells the dog.
But she is intensely on her guard, in
spite of her air of perfect content. Her
legs, concealed under her fur, are ready
for a spring; her claws are unsheathed;
her eyes never move for an instant from
the dog; as he bounds wildly from side to
side, barking with comical fury, those
gGttering eyes of hers follow him with
the keenest scrutiny. If he plucks up his
courage to grab her, she is ready; she will
sell her life dearly. She is watching her
chance, and she does not miss it. The dog
tries Fabian tactics, and withdraws a few
feet, settling down upon his forepaws,
growing ferociously as he does so. Just
then the sound of a dogs bark in the next
street attracts his eyes and ears for a
moment; and when he looks back the kit
ten is gonel He looks down the street
and starts wildly in that direction, and
reaches a high board fence just as a cats
tail-a monstrous tail for such a little
cats vanishing over the top of it. He
is beaten; the cat showed not only more
courage thar he had, but a great deal
more generalship. Boston Transcript
