BAKER'S CAT.
A JTAUF DIMA* STORY BT ItXIUC TWAIN.
Whenever Dick Baker, of Dead
horse u'ch, wiu» ont of HAr and n !:*-
tie Uowu-heurted, he would full to
mourning over the loss of a wonderful
cat he used to own (for where women
and children are not, nun of kindly
impulse t k * up with p 'R, for they
must love something.) And he al
wi.ys Bpok ; of the slt'sitgt aagucity ol
that cat with I he air of a tnau who be
lieved in his secret hr ait that there
w.ta Bouieti,.ng .m ,i;ti. about it—may
be even stiprrtia' nml.
I heard him talking about this ani
mal once. He uuid, g uitL men, I used
to have a or t here, by the name of Torn
Quartz, you’d a tot k an interest in, I
re. kon—most anyljody w -uld. I had
him here eight years—and he was tLe
re mark aides t cat I ever ste. le was
a large gray one, of the Tom specie,
and he had more hard, natural sense
than any man iu his camp, and power
of dignity; he wouldn’t a let the Gov
ernor of California be familiar with
him. He never ketched a rat in his
life —’peared to be above it. He nev
er keeretl about nothing but mining.
He knowed more about mining, that
cat did, than any man I ever see.—
You couldn’t tell him nothing about
digging—aud as for pocket mining,
why he was just born f>r it. He
would dig out after me and Jim when
W'j went over the hills prospecting, and
he’d trot along behind us for as
inueh as live miles, if we went so far.
Ad he had the best judgment about
m niug ground—why you never see any
thing like it. When we \lrent to work,
he’d scatter a glance around, and if he
didn’t think much of the indications, he
would give a look as much as to say,
•‘Well, I’ll have to get you to excuse
me,” and without another word he’d
hyste his nose into the air and shove
for home. But if the ground suited
him, he would lay low aud keep dark
till the first pan was washed, and then
he would slide up and take a look, and
if there was about six or seven grains
of gold he was satisfied —he didn’t
wane no better prospecfc’n that—and
then he would lay down in our coats
and snore like a steamboat till we’d
struck the pocket, and then we’d get
up and superintend.
Well, b/ and by, up comes this
quartz excitement. And everybody
was into it—everybody was picking
and blasting instead of shoveling dirt
on the hiil side—everybody was put
ting down a shaft instead of scraping
the surface. Nothing would do Jim
but that we must tackle the ledges,
to«>j mid kn mo Wt livUiliut/UUwl
putting down a shaft, and Tom Quartz,
he begin to wonder what in the Dick
ens it was all about. He hadn’t ever
seen any mining like that before, ad
was all upset as you may say—he could
not come to a right understanding of
it no way—it was too many for him.
lie was down on it, too, you bet you—
he was down on it powerful, and always
appeared to consider it the cussedest
foolishness out. But that cat, you
know, he was always agin new-fangled
arrangements; somehow he could nev
er abide ’em. You know how it is
with old habits. But by and by Tom
Quartz begin to git qprt of reconciled
a little, though he never could alto
gether understand that eternal sink
ing of a shaft, and never panning out,
anything. At last he got to coming ’
down in the shat* hiins If, and try to i
cipher it out. And when he’d get the j
blues, and feel kind o’ scruffy, aggra
vated and digusted—knowing as he
did the bills was ruuniug up all the
time, and we warn’t making a cent—he
would curl up on a gunny sack in the
corner and go to sleep. Well, one day
when the shaft was down about eight
foot, the rock got so hard that we had
to put in a blast—the first blasting
we’d ever done since Toni Quartz was
born. And then we lit the fuse and
dumb out and got fifty yards—and
left Tern Qaartz sound asleep on the
gunny sacs. In about a minute we
seen a puff of smoke burst up out of
tie hole, and then everything let go
with an awful crash, and about four
millions tons of rocks and dirt and
smoke and splinters shot up about a
milo and a half into the air; and, by
George ! right in the middle of it was
old Tom Quarts, going end over end,
and a snorting and a sneezing, and a
clawing and a reaching for tLnngs like
all possessed. But it warn’t no use.
you kuow r , it warn’t no use. And that
was the last we see of him for about
two minutes and a half, and then all of
a sudden it begin to rain rocks and
rul>b:ige, and duvetly lie come down
ker-whop about ten foot off from
where we stood. Well, I reckon he
was p’r ps the oruerlesfc looking beast
you ever see. One ear was sot back
on his neck, and his sail was stove up,
aud bis eye-winkers was swinged off,
and he was all blacked up with pow
der and smoke aud all soppy with
uiud and slush from one . nd to the
other. Well, sir, it warn’t no use to
try to apologize—we couldn’t say a
word. He took a sort of a disgusted
look at hisself, and then he looked as
if he had said—“ Gents, may be you
think it’s smart to take advantage of
a eat that ain’t had no experience of
quartz mining, but I think different”—
ami theu lie turned on his heel and
marched off home without ever sayiug
another word.
That was jest his style. And may
be you won’t believe it, but after that
you never see a cat so prejudiced
against quartz mining as what he was.
And >y and by when lie did get to
going down in the shaft again, you’d
a b n astonished at his sagacity.—
The mmute we’d touch off a blast and i
the fus’d begin to sizzle, he’d give a
look as tnucu as to say, “Well, I have
to get you to excuse me,” and it was
susprising the way he’d shin out of I
that hole and go for a tree.
Sagacity! It ain’t no name fur it.
Twas inspirati.tn!
I said, “Well, Mr. Raker, this pre
judice against quartz mining was re
markable, c usidering bow he came by
it. Omldu’t you ever cure him of it?”
“Cure him! No! When Tom Quartz
was sot once, he was always sot—and
you might a Mowed trim up as much
as three millions times and you’d nev
er a broke him of his cussed prejudice
against quartz twining,”
The affection and the pride that lit
up Baker's face when he delivered this
tribute to the firmness of his bumble
friend of other days, wdl always be a
vivid memory with iuj.
The PnornrirroKS of the XIX Century
Magazine h »ve the pleasure to announce
that in the February number will be
given the opening of anew Southern
Romance, entitled * Hie Storm and the
Suns t,” by Colouel Hen .y Cleveland,
the talented au.hor. We hardly need
tell who Colonel Cleveland is, to the
public where he is kucwu so well. In
1859 lie gave up a large law practice to
become political editor of the Augusta.
(Ga ) C<>nd Hut tonalinf, and was a de’e
gate to the great Knnocratie Conven
tion of that year. He only left that pa
per when the South called her sous to
.the field, aud (save when a prisoner) he
was a soldier from the first month of
the war to the last, mostly in field ser
vice. At the close of the war he retired
to hiv plantation on the Georgia Rail
Road, and in 18G6 published a biogra
phy of Vice-President, .Stephens, which
had a large sale. Mr. Cleveland was
one of the editors of Appleton’* Journal
in the first half year of its existen e.
The. XIX Century, now so well estab
lished and so popular, has on its lists
the best writers in the Union, and at
$8.50 a year, or 85 cents a copy, is
cheaper than Uar/jers or the Atlantic
Monthly. It. is high-toned, even in ad
vertisements, and does not bey for pat
ronage, but deserves it. Long live the

A Nineteen Mill ion Heiress—Five

Some months since we published a
statement to the effect that Miss Gray,
a milliner of Fo. t Edwards, had be
come the fortunate heiress to $19,000,-
000, which her lover, a young English
man, ha l willed to her upon his dying
bed. The main fact in the case —the
heirship is true; but we now learn that
it was not to the lover, but to his fa

her extraordinary good fortune. It

against his father’s will. Whether it
was remorse at his faithlessuess, or
from some other cause, certain it is the
young man died in about a year after
his marriage, und left all his property
to his father. The old gentleman was
without heirs, aud not having become
reconciled to his daughter-in-law, up
on his death lelt one-half of his prop
erty to the Government of England
and the remaining half, $19,000,000,
to Miss Gra\, the Fort Edward millin
er. The sum was so large that many
people were disposed to doubt its truth
when it first appeared in print; but
Miss Gray has already received the
first installment of her fortune, a trifle
of $5,000,000, from the Consul announ
cing that the money awaited her order,
and on the following day she left Fort
Edward for Nev\ ; York, where it was
paid over to her.— Troy Tunes, 15 th.

A LOVE STORI.
“Jim,” said a young sailor to his
cousin, who lived a long way inland,
and had never seen the “big water,”
‘Jim, did you ever go to sea
“You mean going to see tbe gals I
suppose. I’ve been to see the gals lots
of times.”
“That ain’t what I mean,” said the
sailor. “But what about going to see
the girls? Can you give’me an ac
count of your adventures V”
“Well,” replied Jim, “I never make
a practice of telling such things.—
’Taint a.good plau. But I had a little
larkin’ scrape last spring, aul we live
away off to Boston, and don’t get such
elmnces, if you'll agree to keep mum
I’ll tell you about it.”
“I w-ill keep perfectly dark,” said the
tar, who was beginning to feel inter
ested; “go on with your story.”
“It does make me feel kinder ugly
when I think on’t, I’ll be hanged if it
don’t, but it’s all over row.. You see
Suke Baker and I used to take a great
shine to one another. Sake wvs oue

than all the rest of the family. Suke
and I never enjoyed ourselves, for he
was always sneakin’ round and thro’u
out hints, aul making himself as hate
ful as he was h >mely. I got sick on’t
aud so did Suke. I suppose the old

chamber, and I told her one time to
leave her window up, aud I’d come in
and we’d have a bit of a visit I
knew she wouldn't hesitate tc do it
for I am honest and very 's| ecuul in
my l>ehavior. Well, after the fclks
were nil in lei, and the was
still, I goes aud gets a ladder puts i
up to the window. I thou puiled off
my boots and crawled up. Bake met
me at the window, and a tn*keld<*r
couple you never saw than we was
but just as I was trying to clamber in
the confound- *1 ladder slid, aud down
it went, thunder to lick, making noise
enough to wake up the whole towu
It hit one of the lower winders, and
knocked it all to smash. I just caught
by the tip ends of my fingers on the
window sill. Suke seeiug me falling,
made a grab for me, and got me by
the hair of the head and ’tween us both
ust made out to stay, but I though’
twoufil been us well if I hadn’t been
there, for I could neither get iu or
on*
“Old Baker heard the racket, ami
out he came in his suirt, to see whnt
was to pay. He sees me hanging
there, and I suppose the old whelp
mistrusted something, for he went and
got a fish-pole and began to welt my
limbs iu real earnest. I tell you, P ”
I was in very barisiu ••ituation Th e
I was, 'spended by the hair—for Bu..
did the most of the Uauging on—and
old Baker as mad as ;vhoe, jist wallop
in’ me down with a hickory fish-pole
What was to be did. If Suke and I
should let go, I should fall, perhaps
break my neck. If Bake and I h mg on,
he would lick me to giblets with his in
fernal fish-pole. I was never so ul
- situated in all my life. 1
would gin 2 shillings for lig tii lg
enough to strike the old whelp dead.
But all the lightning I soen was in nr.

there, or something else, for I coul 1
see stars of ail kinds and colors, jus
as thick as plasters. But think- I, 1
can’t staud this, by a jug full, so 1
took and lot go. Bake hung on like :>

While Adam slept, God from him took,
A bone; an as and omeu,
He made it like a seraph look,
And thus created woman.
He took this bone not from his pate.
To show her power more ample;
Nor from his feet to designate
That he on her might tramp 1 e.
But .neath his arm to cletuly show
He always should protect her;
Aud near his heart to tet him kuew
How much he should respect her.
He took this bone, crooked enough,
Most crooked of the human,
To show him how much crooked stuff
He’d always find in woman.
