The pageantry Is forming; don't you hear

And we are daily seeing sights our fathers

But good old Martha Washington Is stirl
the pioneer;
She's got her picture on a stamp: this Is
the news we hear.
Yet In this age OF progress who would be
surprised at that?
The man who says It's marvellous Is talk

For when II comes to pictures II displays
an awful taste
To put mans homely features on the 9TH

When lovely woman's countenance might
well be printed there.

A Petrf6ed n

While out hunting the other day at
Urbana, o.. Charles Keener and
Charles Maggie found a petrifed cat
buried in the trunk of a decayed tree.
The cat had probably crawled into the
tree seeking a place Of refuge and
found itself unable to get out. 1t was
perfectly formed and had all the ap-
pearance Of a creation Of the paleozoic
period. The surface Is perfectly smooth,
having something Of the appearance of
leather. The only evidence to show
that 1t ever had hair was the whiskers,
which were as brittle as iclcles.
