CAT AND WEASEL.
Pussy Began tho Fight, But Gave 1t Up
as a Bad Job.

Pussy Began the Fight, But Gave 1t Up
as a Bad Job.
Puss had been watching wheat
stack which yields her toll Of rat per
night, and one evening weasel made
some inquiries.
By and by the weasel, in the pursuit
of rat, popped out of hole under the
stack, and puss instantly pounced upon
it, and caught it, happily enough for
her, round the neck.
Somewhat dubious, it would appear,
as to what manner of rat she had in her
mouth, she brought it into the house,
half throttled, and began mewing loud
ly. Presently the weasel revived, and
began to move away, puss instantly fol
lowing in pursuit; but she had caught a
tartar.
The little creature, with wide-open
mouth, and uttering a sharp, repeated
sound, like "kek, kek, kek," sprang
straight at pussy's nose, just missing it,
and this she did again and again Its
fury was unbounded, and it was totally
fearless.
Sometimes pussy only saved herself
by a high jump and had to retreat, the
weasel viciously following, once corner
ing pussy and forcing her to take high
arched spring.
For several minutes the fight went
on until pussy yas fairly frightened
into retreat. The weasel was ap-
parently about one-twentieth Of the
cats size, but its viciousness and cour-
age were beyond comparison
An Attachrpent
A Texas sheriff, with papers in .

tractive widow and said:
MADAM, I have an attachment for
you"
The widow blushed, but said some

War on the Veterans.
New York Press

The soldier hating Democracy is in the
saddle and the assault on the Union reter-
ans has begun. The Copperheads of the
North whose representatives nominated a
Democratic candidate for President on u
platform declaring the var for the Union a
failure, have united with the Confederate
Bourbons of the South in demanding that
the payment of pensions shall he cut dow n !.
Before the election Democratic news
papers were Giled wst, the hypuciiticai as
surance of affection for Union veterans
anil respect for their claims on the conn
try's gratitude. The necessity for dis.imn-
Iafion is nov over. A Democratic Presi-
dent whose hostility toward the men who
bore arms in the defense of the nation found
expression in long series of sneering and
unmanly pension vetoes has been elected.
The House is Democratic. The Senate,
for many years the balwark of Amcricanism.
has been s,ormed BY the men whose poiiti-
cal principles are found in the Confederate
constitution. The command has gone forth
that the old soldiers must be sacrificed.
The New York Democratic organ whose
rampant treason during the Rebellion forced

How II Effects Aroostook.
lStar Herald

The question that concerns Aroostook is,
W hat changes will be likely to be male
affecting the interests and industries in
which We as county are concerned In
the opinion of good Judges it is quite GER
tain that lumber will be placed upon the
free list, and ii is probable that potatoes,
hay, oats, ETC., will follow. There is not a
Democrat IN Aroostook that Graves this
result; there is not one that it will not
seriously injure, and it is one that the
temporary gladness of victory and the
enjoyment of political triumph will poorly
for. 1t means a tribute of
hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly
from the profits of our farms and forests.
1t means arrested progress in wealth, popn-
laticn and general prosperity. And as with
Aroostook so it will be with the country in
general. Free trade, once put in opera

and effective one that can be ad-
ministered to regulate public opinion.
