MALTA AND ION.
a Singularly Touching Scene Observed In
Animal Life.

Singularly Touching Scene Observed In
Animal Life.
More than thirty years ago, when /
was boarding with the family of Friend
Joseph Carpenter, Quaker farmer in
New Rochelle, n. Y, / witnessed a
scene of animal life which touched
my feeling deeply and its singularity
impressed itself indeibly on my
memory. There were two cats in tie
family. One was a slender genteelly-
shaped Maltese, very active in her
temperament and exceedingly nimble in
her motions. 1t was a pretty sight to
see her gamboling with her kittens, or
leapipg up in the air to snap at pass
ing fly. On such occasions i often
used to wish that her portrait could be
taken by the famous Swiss artist,
whose wonderfully natural feline
pictures gained for him the name of
''The Cat Raphael"
The other cat was old and infirm.
He was called Grizzly Tom," on &C
count of the color of his fur. Whether
rheumatic pains and aches made him
irritaH,c, : r. Tot, but for some
reason - e, - was the crossest
beast that one sees in lifetime. His
Ill temper was particularly manifested
towards the kittens, OF which Pussy
Malta had several broOds year. Woe
to them, if, while chasing their own
tails, they tumbled on him as he lay
stretched out in the sunshine, All
agreed that GrizzlyTom was nuisance,
but he had lived in the family from
kittenhood, and they had not the heart
to order his execution. So he lived
on, splitting and growing, clawing
and scratching, whenever he was not
asleep. He and Pussy Malta did not
come 10 blows. for she was toe busy
TO attend to fighting, but she never
sought his company, and while they
were tapping milk from the same
little trough, she would keep one eve
on the lookout TO see what he was
likely 10 do next.
One day Pussy Malta came in from
the barn uttering the most piteous
cries. Whether she had been kicked
or had eaten something poisonous, we
never knew; but her sUfTerings were

An Exceedingly Rashfal Bridesroom

Day before yesterday a trio of new
ly welded couples from the interior of
Kentucky arrived at the Barnett
House and took apartments in that
we'll ordered hotel. II was quite ev-
ident that they were unfamiliar with
metropolitan sights. The rcomy cor.
riders, marble f,ors, gorgeous draw
ing room and the we'll spread table of
the hotel drew from them the most
ingenious remarks of surprise. In the
evening they visited the Opera House,
and were so astonished by its magnifi-
cence that even Mrs. Walkers Won
derful impersonati,n of Meg Merrilies
almost failed to interest them,
Ncthing more was thought of the
trio till about l o'clock yesterday
morning, at which hour the bootblack
of the Burnett House. in making his
customary round, observed one of the
bucO!ic Benedicks seated in the hall
near the door of his room. He naively
asked the polisher of understandings
if he was the clerk. Receivinga neg
alive answer, he informed the boot.
black that he would like to see that
individual. In few minutes one of
the atteatlTe office men Wits at his side
and politely asked what was needed.
Couldn't you make me a bed in
the par'or ?" said the disconsolste in-
diyidual
Gin the parlor?" echoed the clerk.
I'm afraid not"
"Well, Id like to have one spread
down somewheres.
"Why don't you GO into your own
room p askel the clerk.
81 don't like TO, said the bashful
young man.
whats the matter p continued
the clerk. HAS your wife turned
you out?"
"No." said he drawliugly; "but,
you see, I've never been married be-
tore, | don't much like to go in, per-
ticker in strange place"
''Oh. go right in" said the clerk,
smiling auiiby "Sae won't think it
wrong"
Here the door Of his room opened
about ar inch, and throu h the aper-
ture came coax;ng voice, saying:
80 come in, John | won't hurt
yer. | know'd they'd think strange
of your standin' out there. Come in,
won't yer? I've done blow'd out the
gas, and it's all dark"
The o.ior from the room assured
the clerk that she had indeed
"blow'd'' out the gas so pushing
open the door, he stopped the flow,
raised the window, and returned to
the hall to persuade the verdant hus-
band to return to his wife.
All argument was fruitless, how
ever, and he was compelled to assign
the simple individual separate room

Pure Soda Water.
Mineral waters, as TO their sources,
are of two classes, the imported and
the domestic. As TO their nature.
they are artificial or natural. Not all
of the best waters will bear exporta-
ton, or even long keeping in stock.
Many of them throw down their min
eral constituents AMI decompose when
exported in wood; and even in glass
not a few of them become inert by
keeping. The waters that are the most
strongly mineralized, especially those
that are the most fully charged with
carbonic acid gas, tear expectation
the best. Those OF weaker cOnstitu-
ton, like some delicate individuals
and some delicate wines. do not stand
q sea voyage. "Old books to read, old
wood 20 burn. old wine to drink, old
friends 10 talk to-" but no old mineral
waters for a cure. Some physicians
hold, indeed. that all mineral waters
begin TO lose their virtues a soon as
they leave the spring. This is an ex.
IRENE view; it is quite unproven of
some of the best waters. Yet most of
them are effective IL proportion to

for good table water, meaning by

many others. The Vichy, Setter mad
