Story 6f'a. French Cat.
From the Paris Messenger.

>A~ @AAs 1ueS0el8UI.
Dog stories have become 30 hackneyed
that cat story makes a welcome change
This ono comes FROM Pont Ste. Maxence
(Oise). and for such q small place it is an
extremely tall ta3ss 1t would appear that q
resident in the place. who is an enthusias-
tic angler. used to keep live bait in q small
tank on his premises. The angler also had
cat. who naturally, was fond OF fish.
raw or cooked. This being so, his owner
covered his tank with wire netting. to keep
pussy out OF temptation. But the cat knew
trick or two; and went to the nearest
refuse heap for some fowl giblets which
were providentially lying there. These she
took to the tank, let them hang into the
water from the netting. and began fishing
on her own account. When the fish nib
bled at the bait. puss would catch 1t with
nimble claw! The angler, noticing the
trick. threw the bait away. but half an
hour later puss was at 1t again. We hardly
know which to admire most. the cats In
genuity or that Of the concocter Of the
story.

CHINA's LOOTED SEALS SOLD.
The Chinese Court Says They Have
Lost Their Sacred Character.

Lost Their Sacred Character.
From the London News.
The home secretary having apparently
been satisfied by Messrs. Debenham that
the eight Chinese imperial seals. about
which questions were asked on Thursday
cannot be regarded as British plunder. the
sale of these by auction took place yester-
day. It is said they were the property OF
an American citizen, who purchased them
from a Russian officer returned from China
Inasmuch as they are now in the possession
Of foreigner, the Chinese court deems
them to have lost their sacred character.
Some OF the seals are square. measuring as
much as four or five inches. while one or
two of those used for private correspond
ence are Of oblong shape. about two inches
long by three-quarters of an inch wide. In
each case the handle Is more or less elah-
orately carved, mostly with grotesques, and
the Chinese inscriptions-in one case the
words are in the Manchu language-have a
decorative effect. There appears to be no
doubt that the seals are actually those
used in Pekin.
The first two to be offered, kept by the
chief eunuch, and not touched by the hands
Of the empress. under whose orders Only
they could be used, were q sOapstone seal
bearing the Chinese equivalent for "Nour-
ish your mind and nurse your spirits" EN-
ployed when actors were appointed for the
imperial palace, and another impressed on
all documents relating to the imperial pal
ace guards These were bought by a pri-
vate gentleman for ESQ. Six private seals
Of the emperor and empress have yellow
silk cords attached, tied in a sacred knot
by the chief Llama Bigaubet Of Buddhism
In Pekin. All these are of jade whether
light or dark. and bear inscriptions like
written by the imperial hand in the VI
Kum court" 'Perused by the imperial eye,
&c. The series of six fetched f3S9. several
being bought by the Messrs. Harding.

A CostlY Dog.

The other day my wife and l made
the pretext of an errand the excuse for
sailing on the blue waters Of Shana-
shank Bay, and engaged old Captain
Little at the customary price Of fifty
cents an hour, to take us across to a
village on the opposite shore With
the captain always went his dog Tas-
so, as indispensable companion, rather
than as necessary crew. Arrived at
the village, the errand was promptly
done and we were ready to depart, but
the dog could not be found. We called
and whistled and sought him high and
low; until at last, at the end Of good
half hour, he strolled on to the dock,
calm and unruffled, and without a sus-
picion of malevolence in eye or action.
The sail was thereupon resumed, and
the captain, who is a good skipper,
after laboriously pushing us off sand
bar on which he had inadvertently
grounded, finally drew up at the wharf,
at the end of three hours from the
time Of departure. well, captain"
we said, you have given us a good
sail. How much is itT' "Waal," said
the captain, 'it'll be a dollar and a
half. We've been gone just three
hours. Ye see," he continued, ut took
US half an hour to look up that doS"--
