That Catamount.
For some time the settlement near the
long trestle lffis been much excited about
the appearance of a catamount, whose track
is of such dimensions that women and chil
dren are loth at going out doors. The
monster has defied the skill of the best dogs
and hunters, until recently Mr. Al. Ander
son tried his skill and captured him.
One night of last week, Mr. Al. Ander
son and a young Mr. James Anderson was
returning from a log rolling of an adjoining
neighbors, and when in two hundred yards
of the home of Mr. Al. Anderson’s they
heard something run in the leave# “ Cata
mount,” says Mr. Al. A. “Yes,” says J.
A., after knocking against a tree and-hear
ing the footsteps of the varmint again,
“Catamount, be-dad.”
Mr. A. A.—“ Jim go and call Watch,”
Mr. J. A.—“No you go.” “Well then
you stay here." “No, I’ll be hanged if 1
do,-111 go too.”
They both Welit and called: Here Watch!
here Watch!
Mrs. Anderson hollowed out at the top
of he! voice, “What’s the matter, Al ?”
Matter hell, “Catamount! catamount! Turn
Watch out.” Mrs. Anderson, half fright
ened to death, turned Watch out and in a
lew minutes lie was put upon the track,
and of all the fusses you ever heard from
one dog, it was upon that occasion. Mrs.
Anderson hearing the dog, who was bring
ing the varment near the house, she at once
slamed the door too find placed tables and
other heavy articles of furniture against the
door, and at one leap went into the loft
above. (It is supposed that she leaped in
to the loft at one leap, as there was no
other way for her to get {here, only to
climb a bed post.) The dog, in good ear
nest, run the catamount around and near
the house, until at last the monster took
up quarters in the piazza, near the loom.
Now it was godd dark, and all excitement.
“Hand me and a torch,” said Al. to
his wife, Mary.
“Dad rot you.” said Mary, “if you want
the gun and a torch, you come and get it.”
Finally Mrs. Anderson, id her excitement,
made an attempt to get down out of the
loft, and fell like a shot squirrell. “ Oh,
Lord,” says she, “I’m killed.”' “Jim,” says
Mr; * Al., “run and get me the axe, the d—
d thing has got J/ary and will kill her and
all the children. Mrs. Andersoon recover
ed and said; “All., you’re a fool! the cat£K
mount is not in the house. I fell out of the
loft, and I’ve nearly killed myself, here’s
the gun and a torch, now kill the durned
thing. Mr. Anderson and Jim—Mr. A.
with the gun and Jim with the torch, be
gan to reconnoiter around and found the
old ram under the loom, in his favorite at
titude of a position of fight.
“Well,” says Ms. Al. A., “its the d—d
old ram!”
He knocked the dog down. The eun
was found next morning id the yard. Mr.
Jim Anderson has been lougbed out offcx
stence, and Mr. Al. Andersod is making
every preparation to leave soon between
two suns. —DaMvnga Signal

A Story of tbe Curfew.
The first line of Grey’s Elegy—
“ The curfew tolls the knell of
day,” has made the word d&few familiar
to every English-speaking boy or girl. The
word is formed of two French words couvre
ft'u Os couvrir feu, (covered fire) and came
into use when William the Norman, the
first monarch of Englahd, of the present
line, made a law that all fires should be ex
tinguished at the sound of the evening
belli
Tb many hearts in the old country that
cherish its traditions, the cUrfew recalls a
story of love’s devotion.
In the time of Cromwell a young soldier,
for some offenbp, was condemned to die, and
the time of his deUtll WUs fiked at the ring
ing of the cerfew. Naturally such a doom
would be fearful and bitter to one in the
years of hope and prime, but to this un
happy youth death was doubly terrible,
since he was soon to have been married to
a beautiful young lady whom he had long
loved.
The lady, who had loved him ardently
in return, had used her utmost efforts to
avert his fate, pleading with the judges,
and even with Cromwell himself but all in
vain. .In her despair she tried to bribe
the old sexton not to ring the bell, but she
found that impossible. The hour drew
near for the execution. The preparations
wore completed. The officers of the law
brought forth the prisoner, and waited.
While the sun was setting, for the signal
from the distant bell tower.
To the wonder of everybody it did fidt
ring! Only one human being at that mo
ment knew the reason. The poor girl, half
Wild with the thought of her lover’s peril,
had rushed unseen up the winding stairs
and climbed the ladders into the belfry loft
and seized the tongue of the bell.
The old sexton was in his place, pfompt
to the fatal moment. He threw his weight
upon the rope, and the bell, obedient to
his pratised hand, reeled and swung to and
fro in the tower. But the brave girl kept
her hold, and no sound issued from its me
talic lips.
Again and again the seXtoii drew the
rope, blit With desperate strength the
young heroine held on. Every moment
made her position more fearful; every
sway of the bell's huge weight threatened
to fling her through the high tower window;
but she would not let go.
At last the sexton went away. Old and
deaf, he had not noticed that the curfew
gave no appeal. The brave girl decended
from the belfry, Wounded and trembling.
She hurried from the church to the place
of execution. Cromwell himself was there,
and was just sending to demand why the
bell was silent. She saw him,
and her brow
lately white with sickening horror, glows with
hope and courage now ;
At his feet she told her story; showed her hands
all bruised and torn,
And her sweet young face still haggared with
the anguish it had worn,
touched his heart With sudden pity, lit his
eyes with misty light—

“Atlanta the Modern Sodom.”— Day
by day Atlanta is freeing herself from the
shackles of proxincialism and assuming the
proportions of a city. The Italian tramp
and his money infest our public places, the
lunch punishers and street brokers are re
galed each day by anew lecture from some
patent medicino, pencil or pen man. and
old Cyrous Holmes, a strong fanatic, who
is crazy on the subject of religion, is allow
ed to blockade the streets of what he terms
the inokern sOdom and astonish the coun
tryman, as well as the Bridge Committee,
with his wonderful revelations, concerning
the Second coming of Christ; and even the
man with the wheel of fortune is permitted
to gamble unmolested on the sidewalk W
Decatur street; and as the Spencer case
show's, Bunke has been dealt in our midst;
If the advices we have on this subject be
true, Bunke cannot be found only in such
cities as New York, Chicago, St. Louis
and New Orleans, and w r e believe it has
been rooted out of St. Loins. The unfor
tunate Chisolm and Bedell tragedy had its
origin from this hide little confidence game.

Cheap Vinegar. — ’l ake a quantity of
common Irish potatoes, wash them uiitil
they are thoroughly clean, place them in a
large vessel, and boil them until done. Drain
off the water in which they were cooked,
straining it if necessary, in order to remove
every article of the potato. Then put the
potato-water into a jug or keg, which set
near the stove, or in some place where it
will be kept warm, and add one pound of
sugar to about two and one-half gallons of
the water, some hop yeast, or a small por
tion of whiskey. Let it Stand three or fofir
weeks, and you will have excellent vinegar
at a cost of six or seven cents per gallon.
Scarlet Fever.—M, is well known that
rubbing the body with hog’s fat has the
effect of reducing the temperature of the
skin in scarlet fever. Mr. Keta, of Heil
bronn, directs to incorporate one or two
grammes of carbolic acid into a hundred
grammes of lard, and with this to rub the
whole body, excepting the head, two or
three times a day, according to the intensi
ty of the inflammation characterizing the
case in hand. The effect of this kind of
tfo'atihent is to produce a kind of coolness,
to keep the skin softer and after each ap
plication the temperature of the skin falls
somewhat. The cabolic acid operates tb
destroy tile germs and spores of the disease.
French Polish. —'lake of orange shellac,
2 ounces; of wood naptha, 1-2 a pint; of
benzoin, 2 drachma. Mix and put in warm
place for a week and keep the material
fr nn settling by shaking it up. To apply
it, after having prepared your wood by
rubbing some raw linseed oil into it, and
then wiping it off again, make a rubber of
cotton wool, and put some old calico over
the face, aud till you have a good body tab
your wood keep the rubber well saturated
with polish. JFhen your rubber sticks put
a very little linseed oil on and rub your
polish Up. Allow it to stand a few hours*
and give it another coat, using rather more
linseed bil on your rubber, so as to get a
finer polish. Then let it stand again and
finish off with spirits of naptha, if you can;
if not, add a small quantity of polish to
yodr spirit, iand you will get a good lasting
polish.
Typhoid Fever. — This infectious disease;
when once establbed in a family, generally
takes nearly all the members, hence many
believe it to be contagious. It is not con
tagious, however, but like cholera and other
kindred diseases, is infectious. The seep l
ings from an old sewer, leaking from privy
vaults, water from wood lined springs,
stench arising froiii decaying vegetation;
a’e nli favorable conditions to tbe acquiring
and sprei dos this disease, An instance is
on record where a whole neighborhood
passed through a siege of this disease on l
gendered by using milk from cows that
ha! i ua ly drank from water s a ding over
decaying timber. The best prevt ntative is
to keep the premises clean. Drink pure
w iter, and when unpleasant smells arise
trace them out, remove the cause, and ap
ply disinfectants. The person should be
washed thoroughly at least once a week.
An Irish Valentine.— Oh, I’addy t
I’d kill you with kisses entirely. To feel
yer swate breath, I would starve me tb
death, an’ lay off my hopes altogether; too
joost have a taste of yer arm on my waste*
I’d laugh at the meanest of weather. Dear
Paddy, be mine, me own valentine—yell
find me both gentle and civil; our life wb
will spend to art illegant ind, and care may
go dance with the devil.

Two newsboys were standing before a
cigar store, when one asked the other;
“Have you got three cents?” “Yes.’
“11 ell, 1 have two cents; give me your
three cents, and I will buy a five-center.”
“All right,” says No. 2, handing out the
money. No. 1 enters the store, procures
the cigar, lights it, and puffs with great
deal of satisfaction. “Come, now, give us
a pull;*’ says No. 2; “I furnished mole than
half the money.” “I know that,” says the
smoker; “but then I’m President, and you*
peing only a stockholder, you can spit.
