Tho Games of the Stadium.

The games Of the stadium were, of
course, open to all, from the wearer Of
the purple cloak to him of the sheep
skin jacket, and i'll many instances the
free born peasant wrested the coveted
prize from his rich rival In tine horse
racing, however, the wealthy alone were
represented, though they did not always
drive their own chariots OF ride their
own horses. From all parts of the Greek
speaking world, when the Olympic fes-
tival reached its full splendor, princes,
mobiles and rich citizens sent teams of
untold value to compete. Even women,
who We're not permitted to be present
in person. were often represented by
race horses. which were sometimes the

Mobiles Gun.

The celebrated cannon. the Lady
Siocumb," was served, it is true, by
men of the Washington artillery of New
Orleans, but it was an Alabama gun,
made i'll this state for defense of Alaba-
ma, and was used in the battle at Blake
ly, on the shore of Mobile bay, and no.
where else. It is almost the sole relic
of that great contest which remains in
this locality. The Washington artillery
propose to purchase it Of its :wner--the
citizen who paid for its transportation
from Blakely to Mobile. and if the pur-
chase is made it will be moved to New
Orleans. Are Mobihans willing to part
with it: Are they ready to have this rel
ic of the last battle of the war taken far
from the scene of its glory? We pause

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
CALLING THE KITTENS.

Each Of Them Cncers.ood Which Was
Wanted When the Mother Cat Called.
Some years ago, while two little kit.
tens of ours, one black and the other
tabby. were playing with cork, the
old cat suddenly appeared at the garden
door with little field mouse which she
had caught, and On her giving kind Of
Gala new, in fact-the tabby kitten
at once stopped its game and ran to re-
ceive the mouse, while the black kitten
continued playing as before. My moth
er. who was in the room at the time,
being much surprised. asked the eilly
little thing, as she naturally considered
it, why it did not go and secure its share
of the mouse. Kitty, however, made no
reply, but went on playing as before
till rejoined by the tabby, who had
meanwhile made short work Of the
mouse.
Presently the cat returned with a Sec
ond mouse, giving apparently precisely
the same call as before, but this time,
strange to say, it was the black kitten
who ceased its game and received the
mouse, the tabby taking not the slight.
est notice. There could, therefore, be no
doubt that the mother had special call
for each Of the kittens, which they rec
ognized and obeyed, and the content with
which each allowed the other to finish
the dainty morsel without any attempt
to share the feast might certainly fur.
nish an example to many a child.
More, however, was to follow. For
nearly an hour later the cat once more
appeared laden with third mouse.
which again fell to the share of the tab.

ing called away, was not able to dis,
cover whether the black kitten received
a second mouse or not. Certainly ami.
