The cat show in New Yofrk opened re cently, End 16 described thus : About one hundred cats lie curled up in the darkest corners of their oa^es, and blitok khaiv green eyes sleepily ftt the Visitors. They are so 'Ariliabie or so well-fed that they will not allow themselves to be poked up to any feline demonstrations. There are black cats, white cats, piebald cats, gray cats, Maltese cats, tortoise-shel cats, cats with one eye blue and bhe eye red, or one eye gfreeh and one eye golden* and ft eat born without a tail. But they are all quiet and dignified. There are no garden concerts, no chim ney-pot serenades, no bocks are arched, and no fur flies. Their tails are qui escent and of hormal size. There is a black cat that has never been known to refuse Milk. Another, born in Germany, is double-toed and web-footed. Pedro S. Fletcher is a sleek, gray creature, that can play teg, hide-and-seek, and when m perfect health can skip the rope. His master wants to bet $6,000 that the cat can talk in his own language. A black Danish cat, with a melancholy is called Hamlet. Although seven- air teen years of age* Hamlet looks as if he were yet good for any number of rats behind the arras. Another black fel low was bom and lives without teeth. The card attached declares that he eats like a monkey and drinks tea like an old maid. Jacob Pulmah is white and gray, and very intelligent. Formerly Jacob belonged to the Brooklyn fire depart ment, and rode to all the flres on an engine. Being now fifteen years old, be has retired from active service. Close by is Balph, a reformed tramp, that was found in a hatchway a year ago, and that has since then been a respected member of the museum. The nautical cat is called “sailw.” He is of the tortoise-shell variety, and although only four years old, has crossed the ocean sixteen times. He has a hoarse cry which sounds like “ avast there,” he looks as if he were profane, and he rolls across his cage as if he had on his sea legs. “Mother Puss,” an emaciated black and white tabby, is seventeen years old, and the mother of 173 kittens. Her possible grandchildren even the lightning calculator cannot compute. “ Joe ” is a performing cat, that sits iu a cage with some canary birds. His mas ter pulls him out of the cage by the nape of the neck, and then “Joe,” with a protesting mew, touches off a cannon without blinking. Then the canaries lie on their backs on the top of a pole, and shake their little claws in the air. They, likewise, touch off a cannon, nn.i retire to the cage on a tight rope. AIKEX, 8.

A corres- flftftdentnf thn imrrimn . that journal his testimony to a fact which is rare, though as certain as that canaries sing. A few winters since, while one of his family was amusing herself at the piano, a mouse made his appearance on the threshold of the apartment, and, un dismayed by the light or presence of the family, chirped and carolled with intense satisfaction to itself, and to the great de light of its audience. Frequently after ward, but always in the evening, the rare songster repeated his performance. The piano keys were never struck that the mouse did not follow; but when the instrument was not touched, the music from the mouse would come, as if for a reminder. Sometimes the little animal made himself visible and sometimes was hidden in the pantry which, for reasons obvious to housekeepers, he had selected as an abode. One evening the mouse was traced to the stairway. Under the carpet sat the little creature, throwing his soul into his song. A lamp was placed beside liim, and the family stood and looked and listened for half an hour or more. His head was up, and the movements of the muscles of his throat were plainly visible. Unfortunately the correspondent undertook to capture the linger. Many mice were caught and each was given twenty-four hours grace to sing for its life. But never after the treachery of the trap was the sound t»f the mouse’s carol heard. If caught he died and made ne sign. He Didn’t Know the Reason. Sothern invited a party of gentlemen to dine with him. The hour liad arrived, and, with one exception, so had the guests. “We may ns well begin,” said Sothern, “ is sure to come, and be would rather we did not wait for him;” upon which the company sat down, and were just finishing soup when the card of the missing guest was handed to Sothern. A sudden inspiration of fun led him to propose that before the gen tleman came in they should all get un der the table. Without an objection and trusting to Sotheru’s wit for some comical denouement, the unsuspecting fellows hurriedly crept under the table and awaited results, totally ignorant of the fact that their wicked host had not followed their example, but had quietly continued his soup. The belated guest came in full of apology for his tardiness. “ Don’t mention it,” said Sothern ; “ it isn’t of the slightest consequence ; we are only at soup ; sit down and be helped.” The gentleman did so, but Avitli a puzzled look at the empty chairs about the table. “Oh,” said Sothern, “you miss the other gentlemen. They are all here, but, for some extraordinary reason they all got under the table ! | What they are doing is more than I i know.” It is easier to imagine than to | describe the variety of expression upon • the faces of the deluded victims as one I by one they came crawling sheepishly out from nnder the table. Charles Dickens’ Manuscripts. A glimpse of the manuscripts of the late Charles Dickens, which now form part of the “ Forster Collection ” in the South Kensington Museum, conjures up a vision of numerous characters in his popular novels. On looking attentively at the manuscripts, we are at once struck by the number of alterations and inter lineations with which the pages abound, and our first sentiment is one of surprise that the books which appear so wonder fully natural and fluent^when we reed them should evidently have been the re sult of much anxions thought, care, and elaboration. A Monster Lighthouse. j The construction of the great light- j house which is to stand on the brow of I the Trocadero, in Paris, during the i great exhibition of 1878, has begun. The i lighthouse in the 1867 exhibition was i only fifty-three metres (180 feet) high, whereas the present one will reach 127 metres, or 413 feet in height. The light- i house has been ordered for Plymouth, I and its white and red lights will be seen ! seven leagues on the main. It will cou- I tain ten rooms for attendants, two pro- ! vision bunkers, an infirmary, and a bed- \ room with ten beds for the shipwrecked. About fifty metres (162 feet) above the level of the sea, a movable annular plate is provided, carrying a big cannon for shooting the salvage line, a range of 8,000 and 10,000 metres. Near the base of the gigantic Pharos there is a com plete and improved life-boat arrange ment, which allows of a life-boat being lowered SUMMARY op lews Eastern and Middle States.,. . The.. Nations} Heforin Vmvfenlicm toet in Bof'he°tet', ft. T., two hundred delegates being present The purpose of the convention is the advocacy of an express acknowledgment of God in the United States convention, and resolutions to that effect were adopted.

Tlie story of the shooting, as given, was told by Mary Cronin, aged six, the victim's sister, who was present at the time. A fire occurred in the immense structure occupied by the American Desk Manufactory !h New York—one of the largest establish ments of its kind in the countrv—and before the flames could be subdued damage to the amount of $100,000 had been done. Mrs. Catharine Ryan, her four children, and a girl related to Mrs. Ryan were suffocated in Boston by Coal ga«. At AboUl 3 r. ji. a tremendous explosion oc curred in the cellar of the large candy manu factory belonging to Greenfield & Sons, at 63 Barclay street, New York. One of the boilers had burst, and in a moment after the front walls of the building fell in with a terrible crash. The whole structure then crumbled iii; while hngh volumes of fiamo leaped into the aih At tne time of the explosion about 150 iairsons—employees, customers, and others- were in the building, and all made a rush to escape. The proprietor, his two sons and a number of customers who were in the ware- rooms, wore surrounded by scalding steam atid dense volumes of siabke, and barely escaped With life. In the upper stories many em ployees ' wore cut off by broken beams* over which they were compelled to crawl out of dan ger as well as they could Others were helped down ladders, and a number jumped out of the windows ; of these latter many were burned and otherwise injured, some fatally; Tht?y were taken to the different hospitals through out the city, over twenty-five receiving medical attention. A number of persons were reported missing, and as soon as the lire was got under control a search among the ruins was begun. One corpse was found in a short time, and it was believed that further search would dis close many more. The tire spread tb other buildings, ahd before it was subdued Nos. 61, 03, 65, 67 and 69 Barclay street were destroyed, and an aggregate estimate loss of about $490,- 000 was incurred. Two bodies were recovered from the ruins caused by the explosion in the New York candy factory, while the number of wounded reached over forty. Heveral persons were still missing on the day following the disaster, but the list of dead will not be so large as was at first snp- nosed. It was also ascertained that the ex plosion was not caused by the bursting of the boiler, and the real origin of the disaster is yet to be ascertained. The Union League Club of New York gave a reception to President Hayes. About five thousand persons were present, among them being Mrs. Hayes, Peter Cooper, Attorney- General Dovens, Secretary of State Evarts arid others. The large shoe factory of P. & N.

Dr; OrdrofiatiX; Statfi commissioner in lunacy, with his conference with th e board of apportionment about the Blackwell’s island asylum, was asked why there was a rapid increase of insan ity in this city. He replied : “ It iB greatly due to the aggregation of people in metropolitan centres, where business rivalries are very intense. In these centres it is found that the vitality of the system after a generation or two is diminished, and the children of unhealthy parents come into tile world predisposed to insanity. We seem to be reproducing in this respect the state of things which existed in Ninevah and Babylon. * * It is a dreadful picture that Dr. Or- dronaux drank. Is the great mental activity required by the rushing, driv ing business of this city really leading to a generation of lunatics ? We have at hand this pertinent passage from a sermon by Prof. Swing of Chicago : “A grain dealer found, a few years ago, that his mind was being transform ed into wheat. As the eye is a sense of light, and the ear of sound, and the tongue of taste, so he had displaced all these by a new sense—n sense of wheat. He rose early to learn the latest quota tions East, he sat tip late at night to figure at the margins of the last or next million bushels, and of wheat he dreamed and amid it he ate and at tempted to think or talk. All else be gan to disappear from the world; litera ture, religion, friendship, amusement, were all flying out of the window, while wheat was coming in at the door, * * The grain dealer, Prof. Swing says, saved himself from insanity by limiting his hours of business to four a day, Und occupying his mind during the rest of his waking time with thoughts of some thing else than grain. Tire remedy is good, but difficult to be applied. It is easy enough for a manual laborer to forget his work when he is through r****' it for the day, but mercantile and tfro- fcsaiaiml men 6ml it harHer. The rnilid is less controllable than the body, for it refuses to rest when it is weariest; yet much may be done by an effort at men tal discipline iu this direction, as any body can prove by thorough trial. After leaving your store or office, avoid thinking of your business usftil yon return to it on the morrow. Do not take home the abstracted manner that shows you to be working hard in the time that belongs to rest. Do not sit in places of amusement looking va cantly at the performance, but neither seeing nor hearing it. It is better to sleep iu your pew in church than to ±>0 seemingly listening to the sermon, while your mind is exclusively occupied with plans for Monday. Indeed, sleep is about the best test of your mental health, unless you have softening of the brain. If you can sleep dreamlessly eight hours every night, you are in no immediate danger of going insane.— New York Sun. Rubies. Next to the diamond comes the orien tal ruby, and in former days it was more prized than the gem, which has a genus all to itself. The ancients gave immense sums for fine specimens of the ruby va riety of “ corundum,” or aluminous stone. In Benvenuto Cellini’s tiiae a perfect ruby of a carat weight cost 800 crowns, while a diamond of like weight cost only 100. The two most important rubies ever known in Europe were brought to England in 1875. One was a dark colored stone,cushion shape,weigh ing thirty-seven carats; the other a blunt drop shape of 471-16 carats. Mr. Streeter thinks that the London market would never have seen these truly royal gems but for the poverty of the Burmese government; and adds an interesting account of the estimation iu which rubies arc held iu the distant land of the white elephant. The Side of the two rubies caused such excitement that a military guard had to escort the persons who conveyed the precious packet to the vessel. No regalia ifi Eu rope contains two such rubies. The smaller was sold abroad for $50,000 ; the larger has also found a purchaser, but Mr. Streeter does not tell us at what price. The great ruby of the kings of Bnrmah is said to be as large as a pigeon’s egg, and of wondrous quality, i but is a treasure which no European eye I has ever seen. Very few rubies pass out 1 of the country ; the king is excessively fond of these gems, and prohibits the ! export of them. The Burmese have strange notions about rubies; “they believe that they ripen in the earth ; that they are at first colorless and crude, 1 and gradually become yellow, green, blue, and last of all, red—this being considered the highest point of beauty and ripeness.”—Chamber*' Journal. Catching Cold. One chief danger from colds is the exhausted state of the body^hat first occurs, so it is not able to resist un favorable influences. People who are not very vigorous should avoid over exertion and keep the strength up to the highest point. It will help those prone j to a cold to sleep all they can. Another ; cause of colds is eating too heartily after a day’s work, when there are not forces 1 enough to digest the food and keep np the circulation. Eat moderately at night if you would avoid a cold. A cold in its early stages may be broken up by hot foot-baths, warmth to the body, especially a hot pack or a hot bath in the middle of the day, with much friction and quiet in a comfortable room. It is not advisable to take a hot bath at night in such cases. When yon have a cold, don’t eat much or work much unless you have great physical strength, when a hard day’s work may be a good thing to equalize tha circula tion and restore the action to the skin, which always suffers when ofu lakes cold.—Herald of Health. A Female Barber. . The residents of the Fourteenth ward of Brooklyn are agog with a pleasurable excitement. A few weefes 6go a young Frenchman opened a barber-shop dh North Fifth near Fifth street. A few doors above his establishment was one which for years had done all the business in the neighborhood. The hew comer eduftht td dbtttiii part of the patronage, and for that purpose bung out a sign : ; SHAVING, FIVE CENTS. No customers, however, entered. This surprised the young .Frenchman* but as he had boasted that he had come td stay; he sat himself down for ft grand idea. How he got it is thus told by himself : “ I was sitting in niy chair ohe fifty, thinking. Well, my wife there, Louisa, she come by me and she says, ‘ Louis, let me shave you ?’ I jumped from ze chair delighted. Before a week went by she could shave just as good as I could. ; So when I seen that, I pnt up that sign yoii See in the -Window there : i : SHAVING BY LOUIS, FIVE CENTS. I S : SHAVING BY BOU1SA, TEN CENTS. I j “ I had hardly put it up before ze gentlemen began to come in, and now you see ze shelves ftre full of cups. All sorts of people come here to get shaved, from ze boys what have not any beard to ze old fellows with ze stiff bristler. : Never before was ze people so clean- looking in this ward." “ Yes,” interrupted Louisa, who at the time was manipulating a red-headed youth, who with closed eyes was nestled iu the cushion chair undergoing all the delight of the operation, “Yes, we go 1 about the best business in the place. “If it continues,” said Louis, “I must get me a couple Louisas. ” The old-established place, a few doors above is deserted and the cups are cov- ! ered with dust, and the barber himself looks worn and weary. * Valuable Mfdical Treatise.
