MIssIss1PPrs CONVENTION.
Yesterday Devoted to the Report OF
the Executive Com mittee.

Yesterday Devoted to the Report of
the Executive Committee.
JACKSON, Miss. Sept. 27.-The proceed
inrs of the constitutional convention to-day
we're dull and listless, the subject for consid
grafton being the report of the executive COM
nittee which is devoid of interesting issues
The proposition to require applicants for
executive pardon to publish their petitions
in newspapers circulating in the county
where the criminal was convicted, was the
occasion of some discussion, but finally pre-
vailed by a vote of AS to 80.
Other sections of the report were
1angnidlv approved until the provision re-
afinp to the office of lieutenant governor
was reached. when the convention awoke
from It's lethargic condition, and INDUCED
in a somewhat spirited debate. 1t was con-
tended that the lieutenant governor is a
fgurehead, and that the Office should be
abolished After an hours debate, the
view as EMBODIED in Mr.. Boyds
substitute was adopted by a vote of
6to97. The substitute is a copy of two
sections of the constitution of 1882, and
provides that in case of the death or disa-
bllity of the governor the president of the
Senate shall succeed him.
After disposing of the matter the con-
vention reapsed into a comatose condition
until the office of secretary of state was
reached, when a proposition TO add to that
Office the duties of land commissioner
created somewhat of a breeze, under the
influence of which the convention, at 80
O'Clock p. M, adjourned until 10 o'clock
Monday morning.

A QUEER CAT.
She Gould Stand any Music but the
MMisararan from ..rrnuatnran

Sn9 COQIQ SCdpO any MUSIC OuI IN 8
"Miserere" from ''rrovatore"
Cats do have an ear for music. says Hdr-
per'S Young People. A clergyman in the
south of Ireland, a quiet but keen observer
of animal nature, some time ago described
the odd effects of music on a cat in a
friends house. His host, in the course of a
chat, told him that KITTY was exceedingly
cross and upset if a certain air from an
opera the 'tMisereren from the "Trova-
loren was played on the plano-forte, and
that she would not even allow it to be
whistled in her hearing. The clergyman
could scarcely believe this. Pussy was
lying on the rug with a young family about
her. Her master at once began whistllng,
first one air, then another. The cat paid no
attention to them. Suddenly he whistled
the tune in Verdi's opera. Immediately
the cat stopped playing;' her ears pricked
up, her tail waved angrily.
AS he continued to whistle she ran from
her family to his side, and at last, as he de-
scribed it, began climbing up, with sharp
ard plteous new looked into his face,
rubbed her head against his shoulder, and
at last put her paw directly against his lips.
The clergyman asked if it was not trick
that the cat had been taught. But his host
told him no, pussy had started her conduct
herself. One day he had been gazing out of
the window and whistling that air. He was
not thinking of the cat until suddenly she
came up to him with news and curious
squeaks, and before he knew it was climb
ing up his trousers, and presently from his
shoulder she laid her little foot on his
mouth.
The whistler. made different tests of the
matter and soon satisfied himself that it
was that tune and no other that interested
his pet. She came to him from any part of
the house Il he whistled or played it, and
one gentleman put her into such q passion
by it that she nearly scratched one of his
eyes out and behaved generally like a little
tiger. ss5
