From the Union Iiniut lice.
One day the cat was trottiilg cut toward
tho barn, carrying in her teeth u piece of
meat for her young. A bald eagle. which
had been lowering over the place, sud-
denly dccended upon pussy, and wlirlsd
her upward i'm a rapid vertical light. The
path of ascent, tn the eye of a spectator
watching the scene, was clearly Indicated
by loose feathers violently tossed from the
point of combat.
Ia time the struggling pair attained -
giddy cminencc. and came to u standstill
in the sky. The eagles wings had
dropped now and then, and had given
PLAN evidence of pain and terror, yet not
once had his awful grip appeared to relax.
~ length - decent was begun, with
IA rapldity which every moment Increased.
stnd the two animals struck the ground
at the very point where they had iirst
encountered each other: but the caRls,
was dead, and pussy. as soon Az she feIt
terra flrina bCucith her fcs.t,sliot away Tor

investigation proved that tllc.cat had cut
the agile throat, and so lacerltcd his
breast that his body was literally laid open.
Afrcr his death in midair, however,, she.
had been to- clever to relax her hold and
thus fall To the ground. but had let her
cfcIuv serve as n parachute. To ease ths'

the worse for her aerial fight and battle.

AN APPEAL FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.
THE REV. DR. HENRY VAN DYKE URGES HIS
FLOCK TO VOTE.

FLOCK TO VOTE.
The Rev. DR.. Henry van Dyke preached an I'm
pressive sermon ut the Brick Church, Fifth-ave. and
Thirty seventhst, yesterday morning on the subject
The City as the Problem Of To-day. taking for his
text Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman
waketh but in VAIN DR.. Van Dyke said among other
things: The problem Of the great city Is the prob
lem Of to-day 1t is the duty Of the Church TO DO it's
hardest work In cities for there is crime most strongly
mrenched. It has been the practice Of some states
to affect to despse the city and to call it sore
upon the body polite But others OF greater discern
ment have recognized the mighty forces for good
which the city presents.
But a great power for good Is necessarily at the
time a great potentialty Of evil Gangs OF I'M
prncpled men have banded themselves together for
purposes OF political agrandizement and public plum
der. and taking possession OF municipal affairs have
used the masses as stepping stones to power have
enriched themselves out Of the civic purse They have
taxed the people for Improvements which they have
withheld and made themselves fat out Of the kanness
Of the poor. They have bartered without shame in
votes and offices and tile souls OF men They have
neglected the schools the parks, the tenements. the
Streets but they have protected the groggery, the
dives and the gambling bells the sources Of their
influence and the supports of their power. Why do
these evils manifest themselves in the city more
frequently than elsewherei Because the plumber Is
richer and tempting there. The great city mis-
governed is open sewer polluting the whole
atmosphere of the Nation with the poison Of
political decay misgoverned city would be one
in which the dramshop encouraged and supported
as centre Of political influence; one in which city
officials the companions Of gamblers and frauds
one in which there licensed mandatory Of
drlInkards for every twenty-five families and one

say, was in deadly peril. and that city Is New-Iork.
