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 When Your Nerves Bother You, Invigorate them.
