An infatuated romcat.

Miss Ethel, daughter of D. W. Pease
of West Carrollton, is the possessor of q
Maltese cat. Early in the spring the cal
deserted his place in the house and took
up his abode with the chickens, remain.
ing day and night in the chicken yard.
He soon formed an attachment for an
old black hen, which was reciprocated
and the two became inseparable. Thus
matters went on for some time, when
the hen, remembering that the usual
season for multiplying and replenishing
her species had arrived, selected a nest
in the poultry house and made known
her intentions in the usual way. She
was at once supplied with the necessary
eggs and commenced business. This, il
was supposed, would end the rather
strange Irritation and Tommy would re.
turn to his mat on the porch, but not so.
Judge of the surprise of the family on
going to the poultry house the next day
to find that his catship had taken pos
session of the adjoining nest with the
nest egg and was sitting in the most ap-
proved fashion.-Cor. Dayton (O.) Her

Professor Pho Fedi died at the age OF
seventy-six. He suffered forseveral years
from paralysis. He was one of the best
modern sculptors of Italy, an imitatO1
of Canova and a follower of the Greek
school. Some of his best statues are al
the Loggia del Arcagno, at the Uffizi
and the Old Palace. One of his ''Christs'
adorns the upper part of the Scala Santa
at Rome. From every part of Italy
kilograms of sympathy have arrived.
His funeral was very grand. All those
who belong to the Academy of Art and
all the notabilities of the town followed
his body; innumerable garlands and
bouquets covered the funeral car.-Flor-

A Heller in n Bathtub.

A number OF cattle were landed at
the Weems line wharf yesterday morn
ing. Their driver was James Groucher.
The animals seeming quiet, Groucher
started to drive them without any
ropes. On reaching Conway street a
heifer, which had been moving along
very placidly, became very much ami
mated, and made things very interest
ing for the balance of the herd. The
street being too wide for her she danced
up an alley between 129 and 13I Con-
way street. A gate blocked her way,
but only momentarily. Through it she
went, and then another obstacle pre-
sented itself, Mrs. Emma A. Poole, who
proved to be no more of stop to the
heifer's onward progress than Fort Car
roll would be to a modern man-of-war.
IL Z moment Mrs. Poole was knocked
.to tne ground, and in the kitchen it
|AEent. There some destruction of prop
ss-ty was committed, but not enough to
satisfy the heifer.
The dining room was next entered,
where the well known quadruped-in-a
china-shop scene was re-enacted. The
hallway was then taken in, and lamp
was knocked down. The heifer wanted
to conquer higher worlds, so she went
upward into a bedroom. Here, tenn
porarily, repose was sought on the bed,
but it fell under the animals weight,
other damage being done during this
occurrence. From here, the weather
being warm, her heifership went into
the bathroom and hoped into the bath
tub. Mrs. Poole then commenced call
ing for help, and, with the assistance of
a blue coated soldier, drove the animal
out, and she at once sailed up Hanover
street and there entered another house,
but did no damage. The driver finally
caught the animal-Baltimore Ameri-
can.

Warden Anil has adopted a novel
method of keeping track of such con
victs as are continually planning to es-
cape. Thursday morning he surprised
three of the most incorrigible by
dressing them up with a flaming red
flannel blouse and cap. Across the
back of the blouse in plain view is a
broad white strip of canvas marked in
large, plain letters, Convict No. ="
The pants are the regulation stripes. 1t
was a great surprise to the convicts.
As they marched to the canal they
were subjected to great deal of raillery.
The warden says these three have kept
the officers and guards busy for some
time trying to keep run of them. With
these suits on they can be easily watched
from the various posts and their every
movement noted. All who attempt to
escape hereafter will be treated in like
manner.-Folsom Call Telegraph.

The Georgia fruit crop is a big thing
this year, and everybody is interested in
knowing what the growers will make
out of it. In the peach and grape crops
alone conservative estimates show that
about 500 carloads of peaches and 100
carloads of grapes will leave the state
for foreign markets during the present
season. The estimated receipts for the
peach and grape crops combined are
$4,000.
Reports show that the peaches are
well formed, of good size and perfectly
sound, and this, together with the de-
crease in yield from last year, makes
good prices and ready sales an assured
fact. Other important fruit crops will
largely swell the total sales, and lots Of
summer money will be put in circula-
ton where it will do good.-Columbus

From Southern Texas came a
man who bu SIX hundred miles
of railroad w..h a fve-dollar bill
and faith, and the bill was Dor
rowed one. He moved up from
Corpus Christi to San Antonio
with all his possessions heaped on
a two wheeled cart, according to
the st Louis GIobe-Democrat. He
got charter to build a railr9ad
from San antonio to Arkansas
Pass. He graded a mile of it,
throwing a great deal more than
one shovel Of dirt with his own
hands. Tie receiver of another
road loaned this indefatigable
builder enough old rails for a mile
of track. in the distant part of
the state was purchased an old en-
gine%hich had been condemned
six wears before and sent to the
shops TO be wrecked for scrap
iron. Two old cars were picked
up somewhere else at a bargain.
And thatold engine, drawing those
old ears, steamed into San Antonio.

The Arab, when he is a horseman,
is a superb one, even though he does
not come within our canons of the art.
When the horse is only a means OF
transportation, or q beast OF burden,
the Arab is no better than his Xix
elsewhere. When, al in the desert,
the horse is his pet, his companion, his
dream by day and night, the Arab Is
in q sense Incompatible. No master
can be more kind. No dog is more in
telligept than the dark, l~iqlIid-eyed
steed he has bred and trained, whose
ancestor, a hundred generations back,
his ancestors have loved and trusted.
This horse-Would that we human be-
ings had not been civilized out Of SO
many of our animal qualities!-Will
follow him day and night. He would
fret out Of his soul at being hitched
to q post, and his master would scorn
to tie him. He will stand immovable
in the midst OF danger and fright which
would make any civilized horse frantic.
He will carry his master through fire
and water. He will unflinchingly face
wounds and death, SO long as the hand
which has fed him Is placed upon his
neck. He will stand over his disabled
lord till help arrives, OF he will go
| alone to seek it. He will kneef for him
to mount, and he will bear him b]raYely
home, IL he falls q sacrifice to his de-
yotion ut the door OF his masters tent.
These are not always fables. The
horse, treated az he should be genera
ton after generation, develops a rare
intelligence, and has an noble m affec-
ton 90 the dog. But, an above said,

Jackson Park, Special Correspond
ence.-The Northwestern states are us
ually not seriously regarded In the
light Of competitors In mineral exhib-
Its, yet Minnesota, Iowa, North ana
South Dakota and Wisconsin have made
very creditable displays indeed. South
Dakota in many respects leads, espe-
cially in the display Of pig tin and tin
ore, and in the exhibit Of the precious
metals of the Black Hills region, as
well as in their famous petrified specl-
mems. Minnesota, which is not known
to many Of her own citizens as the pos
SCISSOR of unlimited quantities Of the
best Bessemer iron ore in the world,
makes the display Of the largest mum
Der Of samples Of iron ore within the
Bessemer limit of any state in the In
ion. Iowa makes a great soft coal ana
marble exhibit, and Wisconsin gets to
the fornt on her pearl exhibit and In the
great monoliths from her brOWnstone
Quarries. The wealth Of North Dakota
lies mainly in the richness Of her un
excelled soil, which, in these times,
will, more than any other kind OF real
estate, preserve its valua She, howev-
er, makes a display in her state build
ing Of the finest qualities Of locomo-
tive fire box clay to be found in the
states. This clay is now used altogeth-
er by the Northern Pacific road, and is
also in use on many other railroads
There are about three million acres Of
coal lands in North Dakota, in which II
invariably found q more than bounti-
full supply of this fire clay. The coal is
Of excellent quality for domestic and
heating purposes, and is found in al
most every county bordering upon the
Missouri river. Another region of
North Dakota about which compare
lively little is known is the Turtle
mountain country. 1t has nealy. 5000 D
acres of hard wood and also an abun.
dance Of the best grindstone material
in the world. Most of Jul grindstones
and whetstones have had to be import
ed hitherto, but the Turtle mountain re
gion, according to late geological re
ports, will be able to supply an album
dance of this material. These facts are
known to comparatively few people In
the United States. Pottery clay OF
very excellent quality Is found west Of
the Missouri river. Thus North Dakota
