Cheap Cats.

General Sir Herbert Chermside was
formerly a consul In Asia Minor. Once,
In a weak moment, he sent couple OF
beautiful Angora cats as a present to
a lady In Constantinople. The lady
was so pleased that she asked him to
send some more. Sir Herbert gave his
native servant some money and told
him to 20 ard buy two or three. Then
came a demand for more cats from the
consuPs friends, and he gave bis serv.
ant more money with which to buy
cats.
This went on for two or three
months, and the native servant waxed
exceeding fat. One morning, however.
the general, on coming out Of the con-
sulate, was surrounded by a best Of
Infatuated yelled women, who besought
Mohammed to curse him because no
had stolen all their cats. It appears
hat the native servant had pOoketed
the money for himself and gone round

Tne COUNTY cONvsNTloN.

The Republican county convention Of
last Tuesday was an enthusiastic and
harmonious assembly. There were con-
tests, TO be sure-it is well for the party
that there should be some; but those
contests were conducted without per-
sonsl feeling and have left no trace Of
bitterness. This is evidenced BY the
remark Of one Of the defeated candidates,
who in speaking Of his successful oppo-
nent after the convention adjourned,
remarked, "well, Wen turn out the last
Republican vote in our town for him."
Part Of the nominations are renomins-
tons Of the present ineumbents Of the
Offices, whose abilities and qualifications
are already fully known 10 the people.
OF the rest OF the nominees, who now
for the first time ask for the votes Of the
people, it may be affirmed without fear
Of contradiction that they are good Re-
publicsns and clean men in every way,
who will do the party and the county
credit, and for whom every voter may
esteem IL pleasure 70 cast his ballot.
IL is good ticket, without any weak
points, that is presented by the Repub-
licsns TO the voters OF Oxford County.
