bursts of eloquence which is rapidly win

THE PEsTILENTIAL COURT HOUSE.

Grand Jury to Take Hand.

Boards at War Over Sewerage-The
Grand Jury to Take Hand.
Some time ago the County Board of
Health received complaints about the u n
sanitary condition of the Court House,
and it was rumored that the complaints
came from some one high in authority.
At all events they were sufficient to in
duce the Health Board to make an exam
ination of the building, and tine result
of this investigation was conveyed to the
Board Of Freeholders under date of June
5, in the following communications
GEKTLEM EN:-The attention of our Board has
been called to the sanitary condition of the
Court House, and we have personally made an
inspection of the building, aud find the sanitary
condition not only defective but in addition
ton thereof, and would respectfully request
that your honorable body take immediate action
in accordance with plans to be submitted d by us
suggest that you take such action at your meet
ing today as will enable your Board to ad vertise
at once for proposals upon receipt of the pro-
posed plans, Respectfully.
L. ]. GoRDoN, president
The Board of Freeholders ordered the
communication to be placed on file and
then virtually said the Board of Health
might go to Hong Kong or any other
tropical place it wanted to. The Free
holders said they were running the
County and when repairs were needed
they would make them according to the ir
own plans. The result was that during
court vacation the Freeholders did make
repairs according to their ideas of what
was needed. This was to shift the ven-
tilators, repair the closets, wash some
walls and shake the carpets. This, as
may readily be supposed. has benefited
the Court House to such slight degr ee
that it is impesceptible.
AT the meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday, DIR. Gordon sent for the origi-
nal letter the Bosrd had sent the Free
holders, and directed Clerk Rooney to
make copy of it ana place it on file,
for" said he to DR.. Converse, there is
going to be trouble over this thing and l
want to place this Board properly on re-
cord
The conclusions drawn from this re-
mark are that the Grand Jury may take
notion to Investigate the matter and
abate any nuisance found. They may
also pertinently enquire OF the Freehold
ers why the recommendations of the
Health Board We're not followed.

Ny friend Theophile LucOn sunk into
silence. After long silence, during which
1 stared at the portrait, said:
sit is very curious story. hope, how
ever, you do not intend to relate it to the
young lady to whom you are engaged2"
'Have you seen her?"
"No."
"Wait, then; she will soon be here with
her father, and will introduce you. That
is her footstep."
He left me and passed through the cur
tsins into the reception room. heard the
sound of pleasant voices, especially the
sweetest, most musical of woman's voice. I
still held the portrait in my hand staring
down at It. Shall 1 confess that was under
the influence of my friends strange story?
1t had converted me into the mood in which
everything seemed unreal. The portrait was
smiling at me; strange perfume, delicate
and overmastering, was in the at
strange fancies would have come
into my head had not .seen Theophile
beckoning to me through the portieres. I
entered the reception room and vaguely
heard the words, Miss Elma Darleigh." !"
But was struggling through huge wave
OF terror; for standing before in matchless
beauty and innocence was the original of
the portrait 1 had just cast aside. The same
hue of skin, the same black hair, the same
blue eyes, but in them, instead OF the gay,
. mOeking defiance, there was deep solemn
sadness.
Was dreaming? The voice of my friend
proved the contrary. He said to the father
of the girl:
'Please tell my friend the facts"
The old man turned to me with smile:
SIT is very curious, and well worth the hear
ing sir. My daughter Elma, yonder, was
smitten with pneumonia; hopelessly smitten,
as the doctors said, and we we're standing at
the bedside waiting for the painful end that
seemed SO near. Suddenly her gasping
breath seemed to leave her, the look of the
corpse was in her face, and my long sup
pressed feelings found relief in an agony Of
tears. clasped the icy cold hands, and
just when I had given my last kiss to the
dead, the color returned to her cheeks, the
expression to her eyes, q smile to her lips.
She returned to life at the very moment our
dear TheophIle, returning from his trip to
the East, rung the doorbell, bringing letters
of introduction to me- 1 au not supersti-
tious, but credit him as the cause of the
miracle"
"It was due to him." said Emma, softly,
turning her serious eyes in my direction.
"For his sake I returned to the prison of

called to soul, and who can escape fate?
For him live and endure, and God is mer-
ciful."

home treatment for his catarrhal trouble un-
der the care of Drs Copeland & Blair.
At that time his trouble had assumed very
follows:
"My nostrils would clog up. My head ached
constantly. / had severe pains in my chest.
There was a dropping of mucus from my head
to my throat. 1 had night sweats. My heart
would palpitate rapidly and be followed by
slow, irregular beating and feeling of faintness.

HISTORY OF OUR TABBY.
Cats Had a Rather Pleasant Time of It in
Ancient Times.

Cats Had a Rather Pleasant Time of 1t in
Ancient Times.
There was evidently period in which
cats, at least some varieties of cats, were
treated with more respect, not to say tender
ness, than falls to the lot of the ordinary
tabby of to-day. The knowledge of cats
supposed to be possessed by women is con-
sidered, generally, to be far superior to that
credited to the sterner sex. The bronze cats
and kittens of Bubastis have never been ex-
celled for truth and suppleness of modelling.
As for the cat-headed Basis, so admirably is
the head of the intelligent Egyptian tabby
adapted to the graceful proportions of the
goddess, that we lose our perception of the
Incongruity, and find the combination per-
fectly ma tural. The name of the cat in the
ancient Egyptian language is mau-a name
evidently onomatopoetic, and SO affording
no cl ue to the original nationality of the
animal, which was certainly Unknown to
the Egyptians of the Pyramid period.
'Lenormant remarks with truth that Bast
in the time Of the Ancient Empire was in
variably represented with the head of
lioness, and that it is only with the advent
of the twelfth dynasty that she begins to sp-
pear upon the monuments in the likeness of
a cat. This was the time of the great raids
of Pharaohs into the land cf Kush (Ethio-
pia); and it is noticeable TACT that the cat
and the DongoIese dog are first represented
in the wall paintings Of Benz Hassan during
the reigns Of the Usertesens and Amenem-
hats.
"Ruppell has shown that the cat of the
wall-painting and bronzes is identical with
the Felis maniculata still found in wild
state in Upper Nubia and the Soudan; SO
that it may fairly be taken for granted that
the sacred animal of Bast was an importa-
tion of the twelfth dynasty Pharaohs from
the Land of Kush.tS
This view is strikingly corroborated by
the tenor of a demotic papyrus recently
translated by Prof. Revillout, which pro-
fesses to record the philosophical converse
tions of "The Jackal Khuf and an Ethio-
plan Cat" This cat is halt a goddess, and
that she should be designated as "Ethio-
plan" points with special significance to the
original habitat of the animal sacred to
Bast.
Strangely enough NJ. Naville reports of
the remains of the Sacred cats in the cat
cemetery at Bubastis, that the species there
buried was not that of the common cat of
Egypt, either OF ancient or modern times,
but that of apparently another species Of the
feline tribe. The skulls found are much
larger than the skulls of any cats known to
naturalists.
