A Dead Cat Mine.

1t was the man OH whose land natur.
al gas was first struck in the Findlay,
o., district, says the New York Sun,
and he was telling some Of us about it
as we waited in the depot at Columbus.

son was great hand to read. One
day he laid away book he had been
reading and says to me:
"'Dad, I've been reading up ON
minerals and I'm ging to find sunthin
right here on our farm
"'Sho, Bill says I, but you won't
strike nothing outside Of cobble-stones
and worms
"But he went at it, and begun to
dig, and bore, and fool around and
leave me to hoe the corn, and one day
he struck sunthin'. There came sich
an Internal smell that both of us was

got so bad we was drove to neigh
boris and we had to let the hogs out of
the pen or they would have keeled
over.
"Bill,' says, when got where l
could breathe again, you said you'd
strike sunthin' and you have. You've
wasted three months time gittin' down
to whar Christopher Columbus buried
about thousand tom cats and we've
all been driv off the farm in consek-
ense. It's my turn now TO strike sun
thin and you kin git ready for the
allfrdest lickin' a boy ever got

then l went spookin' around to find
somebody who'd buy the farm at
about the cost of the barn. A feller
who seemed to have the catarrh and
didn't mind the smell closed up a
deal with me, and ! had to grin as l
walked off with his money under my
arm. l kept on GRIMM fur about a
week, but then l heard some news
that stopped me, and guess it's three
years since I've opened my mouth
sideways. Them dead cats were
worth 100000 to me, and l sold 'em
for $500 and walked around patting
myself on the back for being so all
fired cute"

Guarded the Treasury.

General Spinner, whose death al
Jacksonville, Florida, occurred re.
Gently, was one of the most remark.
able men of his active days. He was
called the watch dog of the treasury,
and earned the title by faithful ser.
vice. During the war, when excite
ment ran highest, he had his meals
served him ut the treasury building,
and slept near the vault doors.
At this time it was almost necessary
to almost daily transport large sums
of money from Washington to the sub.
treasury in New York. Often 81 ,000,-
900 in greenbacks were in one ship
ment, and the express companies were
charging "war rates" for conveyance
of the money. At this the general
demonstrated, but it was useless the
express company would not let up one
iota, and Gen. Spinner becoming
angry, exclaimed
"By the eternal, the treasury shall
not be thus robbed. I'll have a line
of my own"
In this department was a trusty, in
telligent Irishman in whom
man in whom the general was satisfied
he could confide. That night, after
all was still about the building. one
of the generals valises was filed to
its full capacity, hack drove up the
trusted friend Of the general was soon

on his way to New York with not less
than a million dollars in greenbacks.
This was continued for several months
and not dollar was lost and the ex-
press company and the outside world
were kept in total ignorance.
Later an officer of the express
company called on the general, who,
without divulging his methods, dictat-
ed his own terms, and the man, who
at the risk of his life had been the
principal actor, assumed his old posi-
tion at the department.-Merrill Rec

A western paper tells somewhat
characteristic story about the late
Sitting Bull. The kind.hearted wife
Of an army officer once invited him to
dine, inviting a number of other
guests at the same time to meet bin,
including young clergyman just
from the east. The old warrior, with
fitting sense Of the Importance of the
event, came arrayed in the most
amazing motley of CIVILIZED garments,
none of which fitted him. The young
clergyman ut once decided that here
was an opportunity to do little miss
ionary work. So, when asking a
blessing before dinner, he prayed
long and eloquent for the conversion
of the honcred guest. Sitting Bull
evidently suspected that this was
some sort of incarnation designed to
affect the food, for after it was over
he looked slspiciously at the viands,
and for some time would not touch
them. Finally, however, when he
saw the rest eating, he gave grunt
and fell to. At the close of the meal
the clergyman again improved the
opportunity in u long prayer. But
this was too much for the old chief,
who, jumping up in alarm, exclaimed:
"No, no, once heap enough ; no more
call down Great Spirit 10 crush Chief"
and stalked cut of the room.-New
York Press.

Tho interior of Labrador undoubtedly is the

Grand river, which emp.ies into the Atlantic
ocean st hamilton inlet, arc the Grand Falls,
which il every thing is true about them that is
ported are the most stupendOus falls in the world.
They are only sbont one hundrot and sixty miles
up the river but only two white men have ever
seen them Mr.. 3. F. Holme three years ago went
from England to visit the Grand Falls.
He organized little party to accompany him
inlsnd, and arrived within about fifty miles of the
falls, when he WAS compelled to return on account
of the failure of his provisions The Labrador In.
dans say these falls are haunted, and they care
fully avoid them believing they will die if they
look upon:them. The two white men who saw
them are Mclean, who, as he was ascending the
river in 1889, was stopped by the falls, and Mr..
Kennedy, who over thirty years ago had charge
of the Hudson Bay post in Labrador. Mr. Holme
says the height of the falls is not certainly known
but in some respects, there is little doubt that
they are the greatest in the world
Though inner Labrador is so inadequately un-
known we are aware that it is a vast table-land
whose limits are quite clearly defined. In the
southeast the descent from the table-lsnd is quite
sudden and almost immedistely after leaving the
plateau level s reached that is very little above
the sea- Tho Grsud Falls are the place whore the
