Great Men and Their Cats.
lHarper's Young People


Not a few great men have been partial to
cats. Petrarch had his cat embalmed
Rousseau shed genuine tears over the loss
of his; DIR. Johnson, sometimes called the
Great Bear" nursed his cat day and night
during its illness, and went himself for oys-
ters to tempt it's appetite; Southey raised
one Of his cats to the peerage, with The high
sounding title of Earl OF Tomlemange,
Baron Raticide, Waowlher, and Skaratchi." :"
To Napoleon, however, cats were mortal
terror. Just after the battle of Wagram an
Aid-de-Camp, upon entering the Enperor's
room, saw him half undressed, with pro-
truding eyes and perspiring forehead, MAX
ing frequent lunges with a sword at the
tapestry around the room. In explanation
he said there was a cat behind the tapestry,
and that he had hated cats from his very
infancy. He had crossed the bridge at Lodi
with sublime courage, yet quivered with
excitement and terror over the presence OF

What Dollar Bills Weigh.
TNelu York Herald.

lhelo IOTf HeTuLd.I
Several customers were chatting in La
fayette avenue grocery store one evening
recently when the grocer pointed to half
barrel of small beans and asked how many
of them it would require to make busheI.
Various estimates were offered. One man
recklessly put the number down at $4,000,
which occasioned a laugh from all the others
who had guessed a much lesser quantity,
ranging all the way from 5000 to 10000.
We'll, gentlemen remarked the grocer,
"you are all wrong. There are approx
mately 900 beans in a bushel."
No one was inclined to believe him until
he showed them that it took 60 beans, Sc
lected at random, to weigh half an ounce.
The rest of the calculation was simple.
"Now, then" said one of the party, since
we are engaged in guessing contests, how
many dollar bills would it take to weigh as
much as silver dollar?"
One said 100, another said rs, while the
grocer, who knew all about beans, put the
figure at 800.
"All wrong" remarked the man. cit

Bislnarck's Wife.

Princess Bismarck, nee Johanna Putkam-
mer, although her personality has always
been overshadowed by that of her great hus-
band, is remarkable and interesting
woman.
The story Of Bismarek's falling in love
with her, and, so to speak, marrying her by
main force, is often told In Germany. The
Princess has never had reason to regret the
suddenness of her wooing and wedding, for
the ex-ChancellOr is absolutely devoted to
his home, and even when occupied with the
most important official duties he made a
rule of going to speak to his wife every few
hours.
Princess Won Bismarck is now nearer 20
than so. She has white hair, is spare
of figure, and her countenance would be ex-
tremely agreeable were it not for the high,
prominent cheekbones. She is almost as
tall woman as her husband is man, and
has good reason to be proud Of the physical
appearance of her children.
Those who have visited Friedrichsruhe of
late years declare that she is sivacious and
amusing in the family circle, and that al
though, as a good hostess, she allows her
guests to absorb the major part of the con-
versation. she has vast fund of stories and
anecdotes and a keen sense of German
humor.
1t may safely be asserted that, much as
she felt her husbands semi-disgrace, Bis
marck's helpmeet is far happier living the
lille OF an active housemother and country
lady than that she was formerly obliged to
lead in Berlin. The late Empress Augusta
had no particular love for the Iron Chancel-
lor's wife, and it is said that the Empress
Frederick included her in the fear and dis
like she could not conceal for Prince Bis
marck.

Sold His Wife for a Quarter.


BUTLER CENTER, Oct. 9.-The transfer OF
his wife by "Kike" Culliford to Ambrose
Draft few days ago for % cents turns out
to be one of the most noteworthy CONNER
cial transactions that this township has ever
witnessed. The Cullfords are young people,
aged respectively 25 and %.
Mrs. Culliford was at work in the evapor-
ators at Loren Gould's. Culliford had
heard rumors that caused him to make a
trip to the evaporators. On Monday, Oct.
/, he determined to put his suspicious to
test. His wife was not in the factory.
Inquiry revealed the fact that she was in
the house with Draft. To the house he
went. There he found Draft and his wife
in private consultation. MOtioniDg Draft

Ching Foo and the Clock.
IPorRnnd Telenrnnl.l


elise, what-a-maller That is what a
Chinaman exclaimed to-day when an alarm
clock, which he was carrying under his
blouse, suddenly went off. His antics were
most mirth-exciting TO all who witnessed
them. He was walking along the sidewalk
at the time. John bumped up as if he had
wild cat on his back, when wh-r-r-r, biff,
boff, bang went the alarm clock. He jumped
sidewise, then forward, then backward, then
to the right and left, forward and back, and
balanced on the corners. He looked as if a
japanese tornado had struck him, but he
clung to the clock like good fellow and
scoOted off as soon as he got over his scare.

IN OUR CELESTIAL SPHERE.
In Almost Every Blank Space are Countless
New and Distant Worlds.

North american ReUie,Ul
GaliIeo in his "Sidereal Messenger" made
a map of so new stars which he had discovered
in the constellation of Orion's belt and the
"Sword"; and since then astronomer after
astronomer, as is we'll known, has added
various groups and galaxies to the 1000 or
5000 conspicuous stars of the first six magni-
tudes which can be always seen with the
naked eye.
1t is curious and not complimentary to the
good sense Of mankind that those stars should
have been looked upon as merely intended to
spangle the sky and give light at night As
lamps they were always failure.
Sixty times the total starlight on the
clearest night would not equal the illumin-
alton given by the moon, and 81, COO, 900
times their radiance would be required to
equal sunlight Yet the stars which are seen
even by powerful telescope are now known
to be only an insignificant proportion of those
actually existing inside 'visible. space"
Telescope photography as practiced to-day
in all the Observatores, reveals, in almost
every apparently blank region of the celestial
sphere, countless new and distant worlds,
lying far beyond all methods of mortal
computation and measurement
The only foOtrule with which we can at all
estimate the scale of distance in the ''visible
universe" is light. This travels along the
ether at the rate of 1876, 600 miles in second
50 that the ray which we receive from the
sun left his surface eight minutes before it
has reached our eyes.
BY ingenious processes based on complex
arithmetic, astronomers have determined the
distance of about so stars, and the nearest of
all of them to our system is Alpha Centauri.
The radiance of this star takes, however,
about four years to reach human vision,
while that which we perceive from Alpha
Tauri or Aldebaran was projected from its
glittering source 27 years ago !; and most of
those seen deeper in the night sky are so far
off that their present light left them 800 or
400 years back.
Many are to-day visible whose beams have
travelled to our gaze only after lapse OF
thousands of years, and there must be radiant
streams now on their way from heavenly
bodies in the empyrean which will only reach
the eyes of our very far of-posterity.

this measure threatens, will sincerely
hope and pray. Mr.. Cleveland has
recently shown the courage OF his
convictions in defence of the National
credit, and his determination to
stoutly oppose the reckless financial
schemes of the wild cat" element
of his party.
The fact is, that the political tinar-
ciers CO who now beset Mr.. Cleve-
land, are the same resurrected
greenback inhationists who in 1874
advocated a debased currency and
whose Senators and Representatives,
many of whom called themselves
Republicans, and as such had been
elected to Congress, laid siege to the
Executive Mansion TO coax or coerce
President Grant to formally approve
their almost accomplished initiation
scheme. They besought and they
threatened him. ust as now their
successors, chiefly Democrats, are
beseeching and threatening President
Cleveland to induce him to sign the
Seigniorage Bill. They plead with
President Grant in order to maintain
party harmony; they used the
towards argument of party expe-
diency' to get him TO sign it, and
they threatened him that if he did
not sign it Congress would retdliate
by refusing to support those measures
in which the Administration was
interested upon broad grounds OF
good public policy. Against all cajole
ment and threats President Grant
stood firm, and on April 70, 1874,
vetoed the bill which proposed to
take directly S44,ooo.ooo of green
backs from the Treasury and put
them in circulation.
