SANS Story Of the Demeated Cat.

kttie came TO us early in the spring.
He came of dark tiger cat for a mother
and black tom, with Il white nose, cat,
for father littie was IA little strange
from the first. He was an only daughter.
say daughter because later developments
proved him to belong to the gentler sex.
But We got to calling her, "he,'' 50 we
continued to do So even after "he'' had Il
litter of kittens.
Kittie had spells of being high. . as
they say, that is mild spells of insanity.
In his early kittcnhood, this was shown
by his deliberate attempt to commit
suicide by drowning in q saucer of milk.
He was OF a very dark black color, ex-
ccpt that his fore paws up to his chin
were tiger cat color. This muse have
been where he took after his mother.
His tail we'll don't ask me to discuss the
color Of that, / never could describe it in
% hundred y,ars. and later you will know
why. Kittie used to stand on his hind legs
at milsing time, and make passes in the
air with his paws, and his face would
assume the most highly ,cstatic expires
| sion yon ever saw on a cats face or Il
| dogs face either for that matter And
| then whoever was milking would aim a
stream OF milk right at his month and
Kittie would. claw away at it with such a
sweet, now let medic, " expression, while
the milk streamed down his chin.
Poor Kitty was born totally without
any tail This was the remote cause of
his insanity, for, not having any tail OF
| his own to play With, he used his
mothers tail for that purpose to such an
extent that the old cat lost her temper,
and, while she was hunting for 1t. she
| inadvertently boxed all the sanity out of
Kittibs poor little head. His first symp-
toms Of arrangement Were quite moder-
ate. for instance, he would take the pla g
of our big watch dog Lion, on the front
steps, when that good cog was forced to
be away OF au evening, and then kittie
would sit there for hours, and bay the
moon. 1t was really touching t. see him.
Lifting one paw slightly and cooking bis
ear just right, he would look up s.dewi e
toward the zenith. and do his best to
initiate the prolonged howl of a dog
masterful and at the same time mourn
full. Then some one would go out and
pull him in, ard he would sit long gazing
into the open fire, with far-away leok
in the pose of his whiskers But as |
said, these weis only the first symptoms.

In the papers of the Comte d'Antrai-

Sucy, a government commissioner,
who, overpowered by the magnitude Of
passing events, wrote in August to a
friend that he could not enter upon
such voluminous details as would be
necessary to depict the man, but
warned his correspondent against sup
posing that Bonaparte had attained tho
height of his ambition, and used the
words previously quoted in another
connection, Il can even add that
know no other end for him but the
throne or the scaffold."
But Antraigues was fortunately
more communicative: "Bonaparte isa
man of small stature, of sickly hue,
with piercing eyes, and something in
his look and mouth which is cruel,
covert, and treaeherous; speaking lit
tie, but very talkative when his vanity
is engaged or thwarted; of very poor
health because of violent humors in his

He is always full of his projects, and
gives himself no recreation He sleeps
but three hours every night, and takes
no medicine except when his
sufferings are uncomfortable This
man wishes to master France, and
through France, Europe. Everything
else, even in mis- present successes,
seems but a means to the end. Thus
he steals without concealment, plum

enormous treasure of gold, silver,

him every opportunity to do so. Moth

two words and two minutes, so great
is his seductive power.
THE reverse side of his methods Is
this-the service rendered, he demands
a complete servility, or ne becomes an
implacable enemy; and when he has
bought traitors, their service rendered,
he observes but little secrecy concern

he hates the Bourbons, and negleets

Catholic Churches Contributed to the
Support of the Indian Missions.

A special collection was taken up last
Sunday, by order of Cardinal Gibbons. in
all the churches of the archdiocese of BaIti-
more in behalf of the Catholic Indian mis-
sions, the bureau of which is located at No.
94l F street northwest, in this city.
1t is thought that the sum raised in the
District parishes alone VIII approximate
$4,000, although the precise amount has
not yet been reported from the chanceTlor's
office at Baltimore The cardinal is
warmly interested in the Catholic Indian
bureau. which originated about June. 1881
through his agency, seconded by the active
cooperation of the late Mrs Gen. Sher-
man, whose concern for its welfare ceased
only with her death.
Until recently DR.. Stephan has been aided
In his work at the bureau Headquarters by a
Western priest, Rev. B. j Kelly, but it is
learned that Father Kelly was transferred
TO Dakota few days since, and NAV not re-
lurn, owing TO the need for his missionary
services in the West. During his stay here
Father Kelly lived at Brookland. ID. C., and
made many friends among the clergy of the
archdiocese.
The affairs of the bureau, managed as
they are by several representative members
OF the episcopate, Were never in more sat
lsfactory condition than to-day, and the
cardinal is especially pleased with it. The
collections which he ordered this week viii
be partially bestowed, it is understood,
upon the work of evangelizing the negroes
of the South, but the larger portion VIII
be devoted to the Indians of the various
Western sees. Next week the cardinal
VIII announce the total sum received at the
chancery
