The teacher of the Sunday-school class was telling the little boys about tempta tion and showing how it sometimes came in the mot attractive guise. She used as an illustration the paw of a cat. “Now,” said she, “you have all seen the paw of a cat. It is as soft as velvet, isn't it?" “Yesem!” from the class. “And you have seen the paw of a ; dog?” “Yesem “Well, although the cat’s paw seems like velvet, there is, nevertheless, con £ealss ra it something that hurts.

Not Walking. Jabe Mathis, of the Thirteenth Geor gia, was a gooff soldier, but one day, when the Confederate* were retreating from the gory field of Gettysburg, Jabe threw his musket on the ground, seated himself by the roadside aud exclaimed •with great vehemence: “i'll be dashed if I walk another step I I’m broken down! I can't do itl” And Jabe was a picture of despair. “Get up, man,” exclaimed his Cap tain; “don't you know the Yankees arc following us l They'll get you sure I” “Can’t help it,” said Jabe; “I’m done tor. I’ll not walk another stop!” The Confederates passed along over the crest of n hill and 10-t sight of pfior, dejected Jab j. In a moment there was a fresh rattle of musketry and a renewed crash of shells. Suddenly Jabe appeared on the crest of the h : ll, moving like a hurricane and followed by a cloud of dust.

Picking Up a Torpedo. I was among others detailed from the Federal steamer Mononga'iela to sonrch the K< and Liver between the Tensar and the Mississippi, for the torpedoes which had been planted by the Confederates before our fleet appeared in those water •. These torpedoes were cf all makes, shapes and size', from a pork barrel half ful of powder, to be fired by. electricit j fT'otll tau shore,to;, glaii demijohn hold ing ten po inde and to be sxploded by contact. Some were 6n IKc surface-, some just under it, and som: on the bot tom. We went out in gnugs of four in row-boats to hunt for these terriflcrs,cach boat being provided with grapnels, nets, boat-hooks and whatever else was needed for fishing up the monsters. We had to go slow and e tercise g. cat caution, for ih: channel was tortuous and no one could guess at what jo ut we would come across a torpedo. While the woods were shelled two or three times a day by our gunboats, the Confederate swamp cats were by no means driven out. They had every chance to secrete themselves along the banks, and we realized that if we came upon an elo trie torpedo which could be exploded from the shore we ran every risk of being blown sky high. We had been at work three or four days and had fishod up seven or cigdt ugly-looking fellows, when we got into a part of the channel which ran within fifty feet of the r’ght hand bank. .lust at this time a c. loved man who had been lying out in the swamps for several weeks waiting for his deliverance informed us that he had ob-erved mm planting some thing in this bend about two weeks be fore. He thought there were wires leading from it to the swamp, but we scouted about for n couple of hours with out being able to find that such was the case. The b ink was a dense jungle in which a thousand men could have con cealed themselves and the gunboats could not shell it from th: position they had taken. It was about an hour after dinner that we m wed up and began grappling in the bend. The boat in which I was stationed turned her b w and wn stream, threw over her grapnels, and two men used the oars to give her headway. We had not pulled fifty feet when the irons took hold, and I drew the boat back to the spot by means of the rope. Then, standing on the seat in the stern, I lifted at the obstruction, and it came slowly up. It had just appeared at the surface sufficient for me to make out that it was a boiler-iron torpedo when there came an awful explosion. At the same instant our boat was lifted high in the air and broken to pieces, and I scarcely com prehended what had occurred until 1 found myself in the water about 200 feet below the point of explosion. My hair, whiskers and eyebrows were badly singed, and my clothing was on fire as I came down after the flight. While I had escaped the other three men were killed outright and horribly mangled, and the great wave created swamped the boat working a few hundred feet below us and drowned one of her crew. While swimming for the cap i/cd boat a man stood on the bank of the river and fired four shots at me from a revolver, and with the fifth he killed the colored man who had given us information. The victim stood on the bank, about midway between the two boats, and was shot through the hea l. The torpedo was uo doubt exploded by electricity, and the who fired tho shots was the operator wiio exploded iC—Deirbil FiH Press. A Glass Mountain. Professor Joseph P. Iddings, of tho United States Geological Survey, lias written an account of an obsidian cliff in Yellowstone Park. Th s cliff is an elevation half a mile long by from 150 to 200 feet high, the material of which, Professor Idaiugs says, “is as good a glass as any artificially manufactured.” Its colors and structure not only make it highly interesting to the visitor, but furnish to the scientific investigator phenomena of jraportan e. The cliff f>re-ent4 part of a section of a surface flow of obsidian, which poured down an ancient slope from the plateau lying east. It is impossible to determine what the original thickness of this flow was. The dense glass which now forms its lower portion is from 75 to 100 feet th : ck, while the porous and pum'ceous upper portion has suffered from ages of erosian and glacial action. A remarkable feature of the cliff is the developcment of prismatic columns, which form its southern extremity. These are of shining black obsidian, rising from the talus slope, and are from fi.'ty to sixty feet in height, with diameters varying from two to four feet. The color of the material of this cliff is for t!:o m >st part jo black, bit much of it is mottled ana streaked with bright brownish red and various shades of brown, Irom dark to light yellowish, purplish, and olive grejn. The brilliant lustre of the rock and the strong con trasts of colors with the black are very striking. In places the glass in process of cooling has been broken into small angular pieces, which have be n again cemented by the later flow, producing many colored and beautiful breccia. In some places the material shows a fine satin lustre, while in others a deep gold en sheen U noticeable, which, under the lens, rc9t)lvoi itself into thin beams of red acd yellow light. Through Ihe b a k nml red glass arc scattered dull bluish gray pitches and bands, and ro ;nd grey t.nj pink masses, tho effect of which is to still further vary tho ap pearance and beauty of the to k, and make it the most coiupicuont anti char aeterut:c variety of volcanic lay* known. —Sees York Sun, A Dog-CaUMnj Canine.

Two fashionably dreJsed ladies stood one bright afternoon la-t week before a milliner's window on State street, gazing at the pretty articles of head-wear dis played thore'n. Presently one moved over to the other side of the window for a closer look at an exquisite bonnet, and. after feasting her eyes for a moment on its beauties, edged back again toward her companion and grasped her arm, squic ing it warmly as she chatted en thusiastically of tho wares in the win dow. For full two minutes she thus stood awn in arm with a person whom she sup) osed to be her shopping mate, not once taking her eyes from the dead birds, bright ribbons and flowers which adorned the bonnets within the plate floss. But at last the awakening came, magiuc her horror when a Chinaman turned his face toward hers—a huge grin overspreading his features—and re marked : “Chineeman likee lite weman.” Imagine also, if you can, with what suddenness she withdrew her aim from tho Chinaman’s embrace, and with how many blushes she met the gaze of her lady friend and of other obsc vers who stood near by smiling at her blunder.

The effort was quite exhausting, but the mother felt c mvinced, from the ohild’s earnest attention, that the de sired efff.t had been produced. “You ma 7 go now, dear,” she said; “mamma's tired.” The little girl lingered. “What more do you want?” asked her mother, kissing the suppo ed little peni tent gently. “Nothing, minima,” she replied, sweetly, “only-don’t you think you could tell me that nice story-over again?" -Pa:ar.

(From the St. lamia (ilubt-Dsuottal.] The death of Gabe Tate at Henderson, Ky., brings to mind the romantic eu cer of hit life. Tate was born and raised in this country. Ilia fa’ber the prosperous planters of ante lellum ilnr-, Tho large tract of land he owned \va "in Walnut Bottom, in the Boat productive part of this section lie had a large number of slavo3, and, better still, a large bank account. Gabe had grown in an atmosphere of luxury until lux uries were common lie had been ac customed to having his own way and to have every want supplied. When his father died the estate was divided be tween him and his sister, Mis. Dr. J. A. Harding, who h*.d gone to the home of her husband In Jefferson county, now a part of Louisville, Ky. There he met Miss Annie Shotwell, the daughter of Col A. L. Shotwell. a man who was rich in a dozen different ways. His steam interest was only setond to his landed estate, and his commission mer chant s business but barely outstripping his mining rights. Tbc vast coal fields of Union county, now owned by Brown & Jones, the Pittsburgh coal kings, were his individually. At that time, in 18(52, there were only two coal mines operated on the Ohio River bciow Pitts burgh, Pa., the one at Cannelton, Jnd., and the Shotwell mines in Union coun ty. So exhaustless is the supply of coal and so superior the quality that a rail road has just been completed to the mines from this city Fabulous for tunes have been made from the fleets of coal sent South from these mines. It is seen by this what Oriental grandeur was in the reach of Gabe Tutc and Miss Shotwell. with their fortunes when uni ted in marriage at the residence of Col. Shotwell, in Louisville. After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Tate went to the Shotwell mines, where tho products of u thousand miners supplied their wants. For some years they lived at tho mines, and all went well. Two or more children blessed their union. Mr. Tate left his home, and to this day the public do not know the cause. Surmises were plenti ful, but no knowledge of the cause was ever had. It was known that his estate was gone, but that was of small importance for his wife was rich. Some time after Mr. Tate left homo Mrs. Tate procured a divorce, and short ly afterwan!s married Stun Churchill, a prosperous planter, who had lived near the mines, and with whom .she was ac quainted during her man ied life at the mines. lathe meantime Andrew Tate, an old bachelor uncle, had died and left his vast estate to Gabe and his sister. Hugh Tate, anotherbncbelor uncle, soon died, and added bis fortune to that of his brother Andrew for the benefit of his nephew and niece. Not long after that Miss Nancy Tate died, and left her increased fortune from her own right and undivided interests in the estates of her two brothers, Andrew and Hugh, to Gabe Tate and his sister. These changes covered a period of nearly ten years. Notwithstanding the fact that considera ble advertising had been done, nothing could be heard of Gabe Tate, and he was suspected to be dead. At last he was heard from Cairo, 111., and found Arriving home, he found himself q rich man again. He wrote to nis wife to send the children to him at Evansville, Ind., as he wanted to see them. She met him there with the children. Short ly afterwards a divorce was procured from 8m Churchill, the second hus band, and speedily following that di vorce was the marriage of Gabe Tate to the same woman who had procured a divorce from him years before. Charles' ou All Right It u difficult, however, to convince people at a distance that such is the case. A loss of $5,000,000, they argue, must ruin a city of sixty thousand in habitants, one half of whom are colored. It is difficult for them to understand that while our bouses are comparative ruins, our wharves and railroads are in tact, and our facilities for doing busi ness not impaired. The cyclone and the earthquake, they think, must have destroyed whatever of Charleston was left by the war. This impression, no matter tyow unfounded or unjust, must necessarily injure the city, um£Ss some effectual way of combating it can be dis covered. People will cot trade with a city which they regard as doomed. We believe that this injurious im’ pression that Charlestoa is ruined can be effectually overcome in one way. If the world could see the whole State of South Carolina, with its million of in habitants at the back of the sixty thou sand in Charleston, determined' to up hold and rebuild the old city by the sea as the metropolis of the State, a change would come uvef the spirit of its dream. It would see that there is a chance of success and that the fight is not hope less. South Carolina bonds, to the amount of $3,000,000 or $1,000,000, at a low interest, i sued for the purpose ol rebuilding Charleston, would create a new faith in the city, and capital would not be slow to come to help those who show their readiness to help themselves. - Charles ‘on News.

But nevertheless he believes in giving him an occasional lecture. Lost Sunday morning he talked to him on extravagance. “You spend too much money for A boy of your age, Tom,” he said, “and moreover, you seem to have no idea of the principles of money-getting. I should like to see some evidence of business ability. Now, run out and buy me a morning paper.” In about ten minutes the lad re turned “Well, did vou get the paper?” asked his-falher. “Oh, yes.” “Then give it to me.” “No, I think Ml keep it.” “A hat I” cried the father in astonish ment. “What do you mean?” “1 think it is a good investment,” re turned the boy calmly. “I think the price is going up.” “You young scamp, here's a dime. Now give me the paper ” “No; I don't believe I’ll take a dime.

The Chinese do not reckon their age from the day of their birth, but from New Year's day. It is on this account sometimes difficult to find out the true age of young children.

Should a child arrive in this world at 11:55 on New Year’s eve, tho fond father will proudly assure you the next morning that tho new arrival is two years old, and never so much as think that what he siys is untrue. —Brooklyn Magazine.
