A SMART CAT.
How He Convinced Himself That It Was
His Own Image.

His Own Image.
The late DIR. Romanes, in his Ami
NAL Intelligence, gives two stories OF
cats, which, on seeing their own reflec-
ton in a looking glass, convinced them.
selves that the reflection was an illu-
sion. In the case Of very intelligent
cat Of mine. he went, think, a step
beyond this-namely, he satisfied him
self that il was In somo way his own
image Even IL my deduction is wrong,
the first part of his proceedings was so
singularly like those in Dr. Romanes'
accounts that it seems as though it
were uniform law of cat nature to act
in this way and so far it may not be al
together uninteresting.
put tho cat on table in front of
small toilet mirror. After looking Mt his
reflection for q short while he went be-
hind the glass. Then he returned to his
scat in front and again watched it at
tentively. After few moments he rap
idly dashed behind it. He again return
ed to his seat in front of the glass, and
while retaining his seat and keeping
his eyes fixed on tho image he struck
about behind the glass with his paw in
different directions.
His next action was, fancy, suggest
ed by seeing the image apparently strike
with its paw also. Keeping his seat and
retaining his eye fixed ON the image, he
proceeded to Gf / may use tho word)
posture in front of the glass. He raised
his paws alternately, licked them,
touched the glass, moved his head, etc.
Ihave tried to simply describe the facts
and as far as possible avoid drawing
conclusions. Science Gossip.

Lent.

Strange to tell, the familiar term Of
Lent has nothing in its origin significant
of fasting. 1t is derived from the Saxon
term-lengthen, tide or spring--the
timo when each successive day steals a
few minutes from its night. In English
literature we have repeated illusions to
Jack o. Lent, sort of puppet general
ly personated as lean and ragged scare
crow, which boys jeered and threw

OCR REFORM SCHOOI.-The spe-
cial Joint committee appointed by
the Legislature To- visit and report
upon the condition of the West Vir-
ginia Reform School reported on the
18th. They found the institution in
excellent condition, the building
kept clean and the boys well clothed
and fed. 4 great work had been
done in retaining and rescuing boys
from utter ruin. The value of the
work done in the Reform School, in
the opinion of the committee, could
not be overestimated. The board of
directors had been economical in the
administration Of the affairs of the
institution. In no institution of the
State had the money appropriated
been expended to better advantage.
The present superintendent has the
respect and confidence of the boys.
The committee recommends an ap.
preparation of 81, 800 or $4,000 to
complete the main building.

HEAVY DEFAICATION. - Charles
NJ. Figgat, the trusted cashier of the
Bank Of Lexington, at Lexington,
Va, absCOndcd from that city last
week leaving his accounts with the
bank in dCplorable condition. He
left letters admitting that he had
been using the banks funds for
many years. Dissipation and spcCu-
lati0n are assigned as the causes of
hi downfall. Before taking his de-
parture - to Canada perhaps - he
made an assignment Of property for
the benefit of his suretiPS from
which possibly $4,000 or $50, 900
will he realized. \ statement made
10y the directors shows that Figgat
used up the capital stock of $50, 900
and S6j, 200.l0 Of depositOrs' fund
leaving a cash balance of ST, BIB. IL
TO meet the cash deposits of So 900.
1t Is given out that the period of de-
talcation covers twenty-three years.
The case will bring in former sure
ties to al additional amount of $780,
600. The Virginia Military Insti-
tute had nearly 500, 900 deposited in
the bank, while Washington and Lee
University had slightly overdrawu.
All the professors of the two institu-
tions who were depositors are prac.
tCally without a dollar. 4 large
amount of the County Treasurer's
funds were also in the bank, and
! warrants could not he raised for lack
Of funds. This will, it is thought,
close the public schools Throughout,
the county. All the merchants were
heavy depositors just at this time,
and the blow to business in general
is keenly felt.
The bank is closed and has gone
out of business. 1t is thought that
the sun tn be realized from Figgat's
property and the sureties on his bond
/ will enable the bank, on a final set.
Element, TO pay its depositOrs about
40 per cent. Cashier Figgat eXOner-
ated Mr.. K. *. Goodwin, a brother.
! in-law of his, and assistant cashier,
from all blame attached to the de.
talcation. Rumors from reliable
sources state that one of the mos,
conservative members Of the board
of directors said that other parties
outside of the bank were mixed ur
in the affair, with Mr.. Figgat, and
further developments are looked fol-
in few days. Steps have also beer
taken to turn the Rockbridge Saw
ingS Institution into a bank of de.
post, So that the merchants could
have the benefit Of such an institu
ton, and also to apprehend the fugi
tive cashier.

NEWSPAPER MEN.-The Parkers-
burg Sentinel calls attention to the
fact that there are more newspaper
men in this Legislature than were
ever seen there before, and, from
the fact, declares that the discrimi-
nation Of the West Virginia voter is
improving. "Smith ofOhio, Morris
of Richie, Clark of Upshur, and
Evans of Berkeley-these make up
quartette of useful members in the
House. None of them are laggards
in any sense. Reed, over in the SEN
ate, holds his own and is an industri.
Gus member. The chief clerks of
both branches of the Legislature are
old newspaper graduates" As all
the parties referred to are Republi.
cans, it would seem that the q. 0. p.

fraternity, and is willing to show its
appreciation Of the party service
rendered by newspaper men.

know not and care not, reared in
perjury, a Squatter, with no CLEAN
of light or fair surroundings, with
out external graCeS. actual or ac-
quired, without name, or fame, or

this STANCE being, late in life, to be
snatched from Obscurity, raised to
supreme command at a moment and
intrusted with the destiny OF a nation.
Where did Shakespeare get his ge-
Mus: Where did Mozart get his
music? Whose hand smote the lyre
Of the Scottish plowman and stayed
the life Of the German priest? God,
God, and God alone, and so surely az
these were raised up by God, in
spireG by God, was Abraham Lin
coin, and thousand years hence, no
story, no tragedy, no epic poem, will
be filled with greater wonder or be
followed by mankind with deeper
feeling than that which tells OF his
life and death"

THE LEGISLATURE.-T are
no particularly striking persOnagcs
in the Legislature. In the House
there is a noticeable absence of the
aggressive, superior intellects that
were observable when such men a.
Judge Ferguson, VIM. A. Quarter,
Judge Jacobs, Jim Morrow, Tom
Bradford and that class were willing
to make laws for four dollars a day
and mileage. However, the present
body is pretty well balanced, and as a
rule they are conservative people,
anxious TO do the best possible, and
much less disposed To rip things up
the back than was at first thought
would be the case. -PdrkerSburQ
Sentinel.
Ii Is discouraging mentary
on popular elections that the people,
as rule, do not choose the best
qualified men for this important ser
vice. 1t is worthy Of note that, for
years, not only in this State but
throughout the country, there has
been steady deterioration in the
class of men the people elect to make
their laws. The demagogue, who
can hoodwink the masses, or the
man who is personally popular, will
generally win in an election by the
people though he may be utterly IN
qualified for an efficient discharge Of
the duties OF the Office he seeks.

to the Wheeling mteligencer's advo-

the American Book Co. and its re-
cent criticism of Speaker Edwards
and the House committee on Educa-

"The public that has watched the
course of the editor of the Intelligent
Ger fully understands the motives
that inspired his attack. In his zeal
for the interests of his employers he
overstepped the bounds Of decent
criticism but it could hardly be ex-
pected that an editor who makes a
public and shameless prostitution of
the columns Of his paper could have
a very fine conception of the right
and wrong in criticism"
