MUFFIN" !"
The Story of a Patriotic Cat of RevO
lutiOnury Times.
BY II. G .Harbaugh.

Here they come, Muffin. Let's 60
down to the road and look at Them"
AS Davy Blake spoke, a large, hand
some cat, whose brindled sides fairly
shone in the August sun, came out
from behind heap of dusty books
which had been thrown on the floor
some days previous and was picked up
BY the boy.
Muffin was an armful, as Davy had
said on more than one occasion, and
when the two reached the light and
had stepped outside the little Long
Island home, the cat mounted to the
boys shoulders and purred in the most
afectonate manner.
It was just after the battle of Long
Island, in 1776--a battle fatal to the
little army commanded at the time by
Washington in person, and the victors,
led by Lord Howe, had taken posses
zion of the island and were marching
upon Newton, where the general ex-
pected to establish his headquarters

While I was trout fishing in North
ern Pennsylvania last week, z said a
New Yorker to a New York Sun man,
noticed on the mountains along the
creeks ominous pillars Of smoke rising
IN many places among the trees. The
evident regularity and system with
which the fires that caused the smoke
We're built excited my curiosity, and I
asked a native Of the region what their
origin was and their object
Oh, he replied. They are the
work of the huckleberry farmers. That
is the way the bushwhackers cultivate
huckleberries'
Then, by further inquiry, learned
that there is q tribe Of shiftless persons
IN all those mountain regions who have
no regard for law, property or life,
and among whose work Of outlawry
is the systematic firing Of woods simply
to increase the area Of auckleberry
bushes, by the picking Of berries from
which those people exc out d miserable
existence. It seems that huekleberry
bushes spring up quickly and surely
wherever forest fires sweep over the
hills, and the unscrupulous persons
who depend on them do not care what
damage to life or property results so
long as they increase the berry CROP
The huckleberry farmer does not need
to own an inch of land If he has the
title to one simple lucifer match he
can put thousands OF acres under culti-
vation in a very short time He has
only to light it and touch it to the dry
leaves and branches on the ground,
either in early spring or late fall, and
his culticatlon Is soon under way. No
matter what has grown on the ground
before these incendiary fires sweep
over it, huckleberry bushes will never
| fail to grow from the ashes and seorch-
ed soil ~ .-sI5 81, ~.

laws. There is strict and severe law
against this business, and lumbermen,

Best Navigator In the Navy.

Sailor Joe" is the pet nickname Civ
en- by most Of his subordinates to JOS
eph S. Skerrett, who has just been pro-
noted from the rank of commodore to
that Of rear admiral in the American
navy. At the time Of his birth, in Chill
icothe, Ohio, his father was reading
Eugene Sues Wandering Jew the
character in which, as will be remem-
bered, is named Salathiel The elder
Skerrett was much impressed with the
book, and named the boy after the CEN
trail figure in the famous story One OF
of his playmates was Lucy Webb, who
afterward married Rutherford B.
Hayes. When Old enough the boy was
sent to Annapolis, where he graduat-
cd at the head Of his class in 1854 In
1862, being theE lieutenant of the sloop
Saratoga, on the African coast, he
wanted to come home aud fight the
rebellion, but some one had prejudiced
Secretary Wells against him. Shortly
afterward he was promoted to lienten-
ant commander and ordered home for
duty at the Washington navy yard,
but this did not suit young fellow
who was already known as the best ma
vigator in the navy. He threatened to
resign and join an Ohio regiment, but
was deferred by a warning that i'm
prisonment would follow such a course

How They Waltz in Kentucky.

How They Waltz in Kentucky.
A Danville girl tells the Advocate the
following with regard to waltzing: mo
one waltz, even when danced with
the same partner, is exactly the same.
It is always a new sensation. The mu-
sic is not in the same key, and the
waltz does not touch the same chords
of ones soul. If I dance twenty
waltzes in the evening I have twenty
different thrills of pleasure. With one
partner it is soft, insidious movement;
with the next, a long and languorous
movement; with the third, more of a
hop, that gently jars the brain into a
delicious dreamy, forgetfulness; while
the fourth cavalier, with heroic tread,
bears you away with strong and vigor-
GUS rhythm into still another world.
The lights of this go out, you lose con-
sciousness, but you feel no dread as you
lie within those herculean arms like
a child rocked to sleep in his fathers
embrace Your feet are no longer on
the earth It's celestial rotation out
into space, and when you light on earth
again you feel like a tired bird stopping
from long fight"

Found a Strong Cigar Mt Last.

A tobacco manufacturer who moves
in select coterie Of tobacco-loving
friends was recently told by one Of
those connoisseurs that he had yet to
find cigar that was too strong for him
to enjoy. Acting on the suggestion, the
manufacturer took occasion to have a
cigar especially constructed Of stems
and neatly covered with a rich, appe-
tizing Havana leaf, rolled into points at
both ends. This he presented to his
friend with the wish that it might
prove strong enough to suit his taste.
Suspecting nothing, the friend proceed
ed to smoke, and was soon surprised
to see Goals Of red-hot nails excluding
from the end Of the cigar. AS the skin
peeled off his tongue his brain began
to reel, and he soon gave up in an old
fashioned attack of nausea. He no
longer boasts Of his capacity before
people who are in the business.-Phila

STATES Still re ENNlLEsA,
Rut tho Humble Cent Is Getting . Sure

L HI
Footing Everywhere.
Until the last few years cents
we're not recognized as currency ia
the West and South. OF late they
have begun to be used all over the
country, though their introduction
has been gradual and their accept
ance reluctant, During the last
year, says the Washing ton Star, Cal
ifornia received from the treasury
and circulated $1,000 cents. Louisi-
ana took 5, 900 cents, Utah 1000 and
New Mexico 1000. These are small
amounts, but they show that coppers
are making their way into the states
which until lately have refused to
recognize them. Cents are as vet
practically unknown in Nevada,
Wyoming and Arizona. New York
employs the greatest number Of pen
nies. Last year that state drew for
currency 1884, O00 brand new cents
from the treasury. Illinois came
next, with q demand for .5,573,OOo
coppers, partly on account of the
worlds fair. Massachusetts, was
third, calling for 4,293,OOO cents,
and Pennsylvania fourth, with 3, 373,-
500! Ssag ,s> ="
During the year the treasury man
ufactured 48,7S1,7OO new cents
About that many have to be turned
out annually in order to keep the
requisite number of coppers in circu-
latlon, because SO many Of them are
Lost. Being transferred from hand
to- hand SO often they are exposed
to many more dangers than are in
| curred by coins of higher denomi-
| nations, and their value: is so small
thatsSpeople do not take much care
of them. They have recently be-
come redundant in New York and
Chicago, largely on account Of. the
fact that those two cities are head
quarters for slot machines. In each
Of the dozen biggest cities, in the
country supply of coppers is kept
on hand by the local subtreasury,
which will furnish them on demand.
Anybody residing in any other town
may procure any quantity of new
cents by sending a check to the
superintendent of the mint in Phia-
| delphia. who will ship them at the
| expense of the government. All OF the
coppers are made at the. mint in
Philadelphia Uncle. Sam makes a
| large profit on his minor coins, as,
pennies and nickels are termed.
Blank pieces all ready to- be. stamped
are furnished to the government by
contract The bronze. discs for
cents cost twenty cents, a pound
l4S to- d pound. A notion of the.
rate at which these small coins are
lost is given by the fact that 49,
900, 900 Of the old copper pennies,
remain to this day unaccounted for

treasury for redemption or remint-
ing, and it is very rarely that one Of
