FINN’S WHITE CAT.
And How Mick’y Got Her Back A tain.
/■Voui. the Seta York Suit
“Where's tb’ eat, mother?’ mitl Mickey
Finn, after he had milked the, goat and
got the kindling wood ready for Lie morn
ing.
••Shure I sold her fur a dollar hill l ight in
me hand.”
Mickey started up with an exclamation of
grief and surprise.
“Ob, ye needn’t bo waggin your jaws at
th’ mother that raised ye up and fed ve
since ye were no bigger’n tit 1 little cat itself.
1 know phwat’s best fur ye, mo by, an’
cats is no good, on'y fur t’ be iue-ow;n’
around on the finec when daeent folks is in
bed these cowld nights. Now, Mickey, avic,
be good t’ yersel', and don’t be vv'iniu’ about
n ni’asely cat as has fleas an’ is on'y goal
fur lappin’ milk an’ scratchin’ at th' back
dure. Hasen’t ye th’ crow an’ th’ billy goat
t’ play wid? Ye wouldn’t be havin’ ns foine
fun wid a scrawny cat us ye wud wid a fine
bill v goat wid bis wicked horns an’ th’ divil's
eves in his head, bud luck to him! The first
chance I'll be havin’l’ll sell him, too, sol
will, glory be t’ God. I’d hav him sold this
twel’ month on’y ivery wuu is afeard iv his
dirty thr cks, so they are. Av I had that
goat on th’ lime kill I’d shove him off, so I
would, an’ him failin’ on th’ rocks below an’
smashing him into little bits no bigger’n
buekwate.” '
This tirade against his pets had no effect
upon Mickey. He had heard it so often that
jt. passed through his mind like water
through a sieve. How to recover the cat
was what troubled him. She had been in
his possession only about one mouth, but
during that time he had learned to regard
her with a great deal of affection, iho
genealogy of the cat was unknown to little
Mike. He didn’t know whether the cat had
lapped warm milk before a cozey kitchen
fire or had been forced out into the cold
world in her extreme youth and made to
scratch for her livi g in refuse heaps. All
he knew of her early history was that on
returning home oue evening lie saw lioolan’s
yellow dog chase 1 -r up a tree. He had
>. med the dog away and coaxed the
cat to come down. Safely sheltered
in his bosom, lie bad taken her home and
washed her muddy fur with water from the
hand basin and wiped her dry with his
handkerchief. When he had thoroughly
cleaned her fur he found that she wat pure
white in color, without spot or blemish, and
that she had beautiful pink eyes. He re
membered now that she was lost to him,
perhaps forever; that for two months the
cat had been lus bedfeilow. Even now, in
fancy, he could hear her soft purr as she
snuggled down against his breast, with her
long whiskers tickling his cheek. He noted
in his mind’s eye how nicely the blue ribbon
around her neck contrasted with the color
of her shining coat, and he was very sorrow
ful and cried inwardly, and would have
burst into tears if the" dcor had been be
tween him and his mother. However, the
exigencies of the case called for action, and
he mustered up courage enough to say
tremblingly:
“Mother, what was the woman’s name as
bought her?”
“Bad scran t’ye, b’y; shure I wouldn’t
hav’ th’ impideuce t’ ax her name, an’ she
givin’ me a dollar fur a weeny cat, when
t hare’s more cats as ’ud fill a cellar over on
Hanratty street beyant, an’ divil a lia’porth
ye’d pay fur forty iv them, ribbon an’ all. I
on’y know th’ leddy lives on th’ hull forninst
tlr "Catholic churcu, an’her man is a law
yer, wid bags full iv goold and silver, t’ say
nothin’ iv th’ granebacks he does be havin’,
more power till him. Pby, Mickey, fur
phwat d’ ye want t’ know her name at all?”
said Mrs. Finn.
“I do be wantin’ t’ buy her back ag’in.”
“Buy her back agin! an’ me wid th’
blessed dollar in me pocket, wid Garfield’s
pictur in wan comer an’ another man’s
writ-in’ in another corner, as makes the bill
a good wan till the jidgmint day. G’ out,
yeidjit! Luk at thini shoes on your fate,
wid the toes iv ye peepin’ out an’ sayin’
good mornin’t’ ye every time ye’re puttin’
thim on! By th’ ould gray goat ve’il not
fomd out where she’s livin', so ye won’t, me
laddy buck.”
Then Mi s. Finn’s heart smote her. She
saw the grief upon her boy’s lace. She saw
Iris eyelids heavy with unshed tears, and
she tried to comfort him.
“Now, Micker, me b’y, niver moind the
cat, an’ I’ll make a little cake for ye wid a
Yankee flag stuck in th’ middle, so I will,
an’ ye can ate it all yersel’, widout anyone
axin’ ye fur a mouthiul. Now ye go t’ bed,
like a good b’y, an’ in th’ mornin’ ye’ll for
git all about th’ cat.”
Little Mike went into the bedroom and re
mo ied his eloquent shoes. He sat on the
edge of his trundle bed, and the mo9n came
up over Stumpy Field and looked in the
window. These were the hours which had
been cheered by the presence ot the cat.
These were the times when the cat had rub
bed herself b’ck and forth against his
ankles, and had looked up in his face invit
ing a caress. The remembrance of these
past scenes came to him with bitterness
now at the thought of his loss, and he re
solved to start out in search of her. Softly
opening the door into the kitchen, ho saw
that his mother had gone out to chat with
a neighbor. He secured his little iron sav
ings bank from the mantle, closed the
door softly behind him, and stepped
cut into the Old Point road. The un
dertaking of the boy was Quixotic.
His knowledge of the locality were tho
lady lived \\ no had bought the cat was
meagre, but he kept stoutly on up the road,
buttoning his coat tightly up about his
neck, for the night was chill. When he
reached the vicinity of the church he
stopped and hesitated. There was a long
row of what to his eyes were mansions,
with lace curtains behind the windows,
across the street; but in which one of these
the lady lived was what troubled him. But
die easiest way out of his dilemma, Mickey
thought, was to take each house in turn,
and inquire if any of the inmates had
bought anew cat that day. Mickey went
lip the steps of the first house with fear and
trembling. He pulled on the bell handle
and heard tho bell iiugle faintly down the
long hall. Then a heavy step came to the
door, and a big man with gray hair con
fronted him.
“Well, boy, what d’ye want?”
“M-m-m-m-ister, did a leddy buy a cat to
day?” said Mickey, wishing that he was
eafelv down in the street.
“Yes, I presume a great many ladies have
been foolish enough to buy cats to-day.
But you gut out of Here, or I’ll set the dog
On you.”
The door slammed in the boy’s face, and
he was half tempted to give up the search.
His courage return and, however, and at tho
next house the servant came to tho do.<r
who toid him that she thought tae folks
next door had bought anew cat.
“Was it a w w-w-hite?” said little Mike,
taking his savings bank out of his pocket.
“Yis, I think was a white wan, wid a
blue ribbon on its neck,” replied tho servant.
A minute later the bell in tho next house
jingled a warning to the inmates, and a
prettv little girl cumo to the door. After a
brief "parley with the visitor, she ran back
Into tbe sitting room and exclaimed:
“Mamma, here’s an Irish boy after our
tat.”
“Bring him in, Alice,” said tbe child’s
wither.
As Mickoy steal under the nvlint eban
ildier in' the sitting room, with bis eyes
dazzled by the light, and his tattered hat in
his hand, there was a g! >%ni of white fur in
the ilr, and the lost cat lit upon bis shoulder
and began to rub her damp nose against his
face. Mickey clasped her in his arms and
buried his face in her soft fur. Then ho
unbuttoued his vest and placed her snugly
againit his bosom, with only her head cut
bet wan the buttons. He looked around
towart the door, and had made a st°n in
that droction, when Ins native maul n ss
restrain'd him.
“Man,” said ho to tho lady, who had
been witching the little drama with mo st
eyes, "i ain’t got on’y forty cents in my
bang, bit. if you’ll let me take my cat away
wid me'’ll bring ye th’ rest o'do money
soon aw Igets it.”
Drawiig the iron safe from his pocket,
Mickey (jumped its contents out upon the
marble-top table and edged towards the
door. For if his offer had been refu-ed he
would have run. The lady gathered up the
pennies from the tableand replaced thorn in
tlie bank, together with a liberal addition
from her trail pocket, and handed the safe
back to him, saying.
“If I had known the cat was yours, I
should not have bought it.”
How Mickey found his way out into tbe
“rot t he could not tell, but when he came to
lus senses he was running down the Old
Point road yelling like a Comanche Indian.
When Mrs. Finn went into her son’s room
next morning to wake him she saw her pet
curled up in a little heap on his pillow.
“Oli, rnuslia! Shure that b’ys aftlier
stravaigin’ around in th’ night an’ bringin’
back that cat! May the ould B’y take her!
Weil, bad win’till her! I hav’ me doilar
any way!”
THE MODERN GREEK.
Seen to Best Advantage not in Athens,
but in Constantinople.
From the Fortnightly Review.
Nobody who has known Athens for long,
or who knows the real resources of the
country of which she is the capital, can be
disappointed with the progress made. Few
cities have improved more during the last
twenty years. The government has intro
duced compulsory education on a most ex
tensive scale; railroads are being opened;
drainage and tho planting of trees have
received great attention, and the sudden
breeze of patriotism which has lately pas-ed
over Greece and puzzled Europe will doubt
loss bear its fruits in greater unity of pur
pose. Perhaps the real evil which more
than anything else lias checked the progress
of Greece during the Inst half-century has
been its constitutional government.
There are many Cavours in Greece.
Trieoupis is a Cavour with English ideas;
but unfortuuately Greece is not ruled over
by a Victor Emmanuel, nor has she yet
produced a Garibaldi. Everybody in the
small kingdom is, as of old, a politician, and
the consequence of this is t hat ministries
rise and fall, and elections take place with
a rapidity which might even astonish us.
The one point on which all Greeks are
agreed, and which has been taught them by
late events, is this, that if ever they are to
hold their own in the Balkan peninsula they
mast have more territory. They crave for
the fertile plains of Epirus and Macedonia,
lor something that will give them a chance
of development and the means of existence
on a large scale. The place where the
Greek is seen to tbe greatest advantage is
not at Athens, where mass meetings
will one day cheer for Delyanms and the
next for Trieoupis, but at Constantinople.
There he is, so to sppak, on the defensive,
living in the midst of the great destroyer of
his race and freedom. Here his commercial
propensities and industry have brought him
to the fore.
The “unspeakable Turk,” who loves
money, but hates making it as bitterly as
he hat/ s the Greek, who can make it, has
given him in return for money everything
that he asks. This has enabled the Greeks
to attack the Turks with the above men
tioned weapon of education. Concessions
for Greek schools all over the rotten empire
have been literally bought; there is scarcely
a Greek village in Macedonia, Epirus, the
islands and the coast villages of Asia Minor
which has not been supplied with schools
for both girls and boys, either through the
munificeuce of rich Greeks or through the
clerical and monastic influence which in its
day has played so valiant a part in the con
servation of Hellenic language and the
Christian religion.
Beauregard’s Pretty Spy.
From the .Veto York Sun.
Gen. Beauregard, whose headquarters are
in the New York hotel, still preserves many
of the characteristics that made him a pet
in the Confederacy during the war. His
strong French face is furrowed by scarcely
a wrinkle, and despite his 00 years of age,
he is as lithe, active and muscular as an
athlete of 30. His manners, though quiet,
are remarkably graceful, and there are few
men in public life who are more easy of ap
proach- He is, withal, a great favorite of
the fair sex, and it is said that some of the
best secret service done while he was
in command was jierfoimed by ladies, es
pecially when social diplomacy was the
chief weapon to be employed.
One of those was sent from Virginia to
Washington in 1863 to obtain, if possible,
tbe roster of McClellan’s army and such
other information as might indicate the
plans of the General with reference to an
advance on Centreville. She was amply
provided with means, and ably per orzned
the mission. When she returned, it was by
way of tbe Potomac, opposite Dumfries,
Va , an outpost under the command of Gen.
(then Colonel) Wade Hampton, with his
own Hampton Legion. That ga lant
soldier at once for waYded the fair spy to
Beauregard, whose headquarters were
at Centreville. Her baggage con
sisted only of a pet skye terr el
and a small gripsack. On arriving
there she was ushered into the
pre-ence of the General, and with true
womanly volubility proceeded to entertain
him with a description of her adventure
and their result. Beauregard patiently
allowed the lingual freshet to (low on
naturally, supposing that when she got
t red she would produce the dispatches.
But the little woman’s tongue was hung in
the middle and wagged at both ends, and.
moreover, she was too pretty to be silenced
abruptly. Finally, the General, unabl- to
restrain his anxiety any longer, said:
“Well, Mrs. M., where are your papers?”
“Why, General, I’ve been trving to tell you
tbe news already. Don’t yon see it wouldn’i
have been safe to bring important
papers on my pe-son, and so
I familiarizod myself with their
contents. The fact is that 1
have been suspected and searched already,
so that it’s lucky I’ve a good memory.”
Beauregard, now unable to conceal his
chagrin, frankly told the lady he was griev
ously disappointed, having waited for the
dispatches ior a long time, and could place
but little reliance on a memory of so main
figures and details. Therefore her mission
had proved of little tree. She listened to his
scolding with a demure air, and when he
had finished looked at him with a mischiev
ous twinkle in her ey<-, and called to her dog:
“Here, Floy!” Tbe Skye terrier jumped in
her lap. “General, have you a knife about
you?” The knife was produced. Then she
turned the animal over on its back, and, to
the amazement of Beauregard, delilierately
proceeded to rip him open. In less
time than it hikes to tell it she
held in one hand the precious papers and
in the other the skin of her skye terrier,
while prancing about the floor was a dimin
utive black-and-t m pup, overjoyed at ins
relief from an extra cuticle. The shrewd
woman had sewed her dispatches between
the two skins in a manner that defied deiec
tion, and under the very noses of the Fed
eral videttes had carried some of the most
important information transmitted during
the war. It is needless to say that Beaure
gard was delighted, and it was but a little
while after this incident that McClellan ad
vanced on Centreville, only to find desertel
camps, batteries of “Quaker gun ,” aim ono
Confederate army falling lwu-k toward Rich
mo id and Yoritt <wu. Between the dog and
a pretty woman the General had got t! e
“tip.” Is it a wonder that he is a devotee oi
the fair sex I
