GENERAL Hustled TO THE RESCUE

| GENERAL HUSTLED TO THE RESCUE.
The interesting intelligence comes from AL
bany that General Hustled has thrown a legis-
lative bootiaclI at the wandering and nocturnal
cat. This weapon and its purpose are disclosed
| in an amendment to bill relating TO the GUS
tOdy Of dogs at night, and we regret to learn
| that the measure thus reconstructed has been
sent back to committee. Life is short the
| days of the session are numbered and about to
expire and it is of universal concern that the
J bill referred to, as amended by General Hustled,
should emerge from the committee at the earliest
moment and become law as soon as possible
| thereafter.
Millions of dsquistions upon the distressing
and baleful effects of the feline concert" tart
solo, sour duet and general squall'-have been
written and given to the world in legible print
Nothing new remains to be said on the subject.
| but against reteration there is no argument in
law or propriety. There is something in the
nature of this tormenting nuisance which gen.
orally suggests to those who make complaint of
it in public that they should speak or write in
a vein of levity. 1t resembles toothache in this
respect, that the humor of the situation is never
| recognized whilo you are wallowng4bout your
couch in the night watches, but becomes aDpar-
ent only after dawn has brought surcease of
SORROW. In the rare instances in which men
have portrayed the horror and the ravages of
caterwauling in adequate terms Of execration
and OF protest we suspect that they have risen
from their beds to the emergency.
And yet this urbanity and lghtness of touch
are wrong and deplorable. The cause in which
they are employed is no trivial matter Ii would
be difficult to prove that cats have caused more
deathS than consumption but it would also be
difficult to disprove. There can scarcely be a
doubt in any acute and rejecting mind that
many spirit that was beating against the bars
Of its earthly prison and painting to be free has
been liberated by a sudden, maniacal scream
from the palings; that tens of thousands of in
yalidS have been made worse and a myriad of
convalescents been startled into a relapse by
that same note of mingled misery defiance and
despair. And yet the years come and go and
the centuries accumulate without one determined
and comprehensive effort 10 remove the burden
of woe under which humanity staggers. The
fact that cats have fiourished from time i'm.
memorial and always made love and war in
the sine excruciating way gives them no pre-
scriptive right to exercise their procyties until
the crack of doom at the expense of ell creation.

The late Mr.. Barnum showed his customary
good sense when, after making his will, several
years ago. he called in a number Of physicians
and caused himself to be examined as to his mental
condition, the physicians attesting that he was
entirely sane. The result is that his will has
been promptly admitted to probate without so
much as the suggestion of a contest. Many OF
the prolonged will contests which have occupied
the time of the courts in recent years might have
been prevented had the rich men with millions to

The increase in the country's urban population
Is significant fact, shown as one of the results
of the census. The percentage of the people who
dwell in cities in the United States is now 29.l2,
while in 1880 it was 22.57. 1t is also pointed
out that in the of the century the pro-
portion has crept up from 3.35 per cent to the
present figure. At the present rate, in about two
decades more half of the population will be city
jewellers The Importance of bending our ener-
ges to the betterment of our methcds of municipal
administration is therefore conspicuously evident

that it was so addressed until they saw the

II is now deemed certain that the annual

companies and the New-London Board of Trade
have now reached an agreement in their turn,
the former guaranteeing two-thirds and the lat

IN respect to the other conditions. The boating
authorities of the two colleges are to be COM

the race more popular and give spectators great

Dynamite Experiments.

A departure in firing dynamite or other
high explosives in shell and from an or.
binary gun has met with great success in
Manchester, England. Mr.. j, K. Bott is
the inventor. Instead of the cumbersome
machinery necessary to furnish the com
pressed air to drive the projectile, Mr. Bott
supplies a shell containing highly COM
pressed air in its rear portion. The gun
used is breechloading smoothbore.
When the shell is entered, the action of
firing forces pin inward at the base of the
shell, thus tearing hole in the retaining
valve and liberating the compressed air.
This drives the shell from the gun with
wonderful force. 1t does not heat the gun,
makes scarcely ~any noise, produces no
smoke and has a great range, and the alb
sence of fouling enables it to be used con
tinuously.
Such a combination of valuable qualities
would seem to reyolutionize all previous
work in ordnance and the study of smoke
less powder.-New York Recorder
