A cat 4,000 Tears old is not altogether a familiar object to Englishmen, and can scarcely ba regarded as an everyday visitor to these shores. The arrival, therefore, of nineteen tons and a balf of such cats in Liverpool is an incident that cannot but lav a heavy strain upon the British capacity for experiencing amazement. Not the least astonishing feature of this unique event is that the consignment iu question, described with commercial crispness us “a parcel of embalmed cats,” consists exclusively of feline mummies, aptly but accidently culled from a catacomb in Cen tral Egypt. There are no fewer than 180,000 of these swathed and spiced remains in u.e “parcel” that reached that country a few days ago, and they have already been sold for fertilizing purposes to a Liverpool manure merchant, the auctioneer who dis posed of them using one of the deceased cats’ heads as a hammer wherewith Jo knock down the “lots.” According to a corres pondent it had long been believed in Egyptological circles that a HUGE CAT CEMETERY. was in existence “some where about” on the left bank of the Nile. One day Inst autumn a fellah husbandman, w hile engaged in the agricultural pursuit of digging on a place called Beni Hassan, discovered this ancient burial ground by a very simple process. The soil which ha was turning up suddenly gave way under him and he fell into a pit, which, upon further examination, proved to boa spacious subterranean cavo.ten in'.ed by uncounted legions of dead cats. Every one of tnese corpses had been sedulously embalmed, and swaddled, so to speak, iu cloth cerements, in the very best style of the undertaker’s craft as practiced in the land of the Puaraohs some twenty centuries be fore the commencement of the Christian era. The news of this strange discoverv spread swiftly through Beni Hassan and the ad joining districts, whence laborers soon Socked to the newly opened cave and sot to work with might and main to disinter its venerable occupants. Why the cats had been mummified and when they had come to be arranged so systematically in their subterranean quarters were secondary con siderations, naturally enough, in the bucolic Egyptian mind—in fact, “the sort of things no fellah could understand," but’ the peas ants of the Nile are keenly alive to the com mercial value of embalmed “cats and dogs and each obscener beast to which Egyptian dotards once did bow,” either as high-clas manure or as a quick and fra grant combustible With exemplary prompti tude aud dispatch, therefore, they dug up some HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MUMMIES, several “lots” of which were purchased on the spot by local farmers, while others found their way down river to the store houses of an Alexandrian merchant This worthy, being of a speculative turn of mind, shipped them off to Liverpool “on sale or return,” where they fetched a trifle less than £4 a ton. Thus for a matter of three “ponies” or so, a British “bone buyer” hns become the sole possess r of nearly 200,000 fine old crusted Egyptian cats, each one of which at the time of its decease, had eenb deemed worthy of special embalmment and honorable sepulture, according to the rites of Memphis, Bubastis and Thebes, "iu that case made aud provided.” For these ca s, once highly reverenoed and even publicly worshipped in their na tive land, it is a heavy come down to cross the seas 4,000 years after their translation to mummy hood, and settle in a strange country, in order to be used upas a com post for the artificial fattening of British turnips, bee troota, or even mangoldwurzel. In the zeuitb of its fame and wordly pros perity the Egyptian cat was not merely respected as an heraldic emblem—the badge or TOKEN OP CERTAIN NOBLE FAMILIES, but as a minor deity, having permanent and indisputable rights of residence in the Egyptian Olympus, and as such deemed worthy of “the old world dignities of priestly services, temple ceremonial and posthumous embalming.” In the words of a brilliant essayist, “the days are long gone by when to bury a cat processions of white robed Egyptians, crowned with convolvulus, accacia and chrysanthemums, trailed their effigies of water-beast and reptile, their images of dog-headed end hawk-headed gods, with the clashing of cymbals and singing of the choirs of Ids, down through the long aisles of reverend folk from the Memphian temple gates to the cata combs under the rocks.” Except once a year, at the Crystal palace, cat worship has gone out of fasnion, and its revival as a popular cult appears improbable, but the mutability of feline affairs has surely never heretofore been so painfully exemplified as by the circumstance that an animal which was formerly venerated in a temple of its own, say at Bubastis, surrounded by com forts and waited upon with every outward token of consideration throughout life, ex pensively embalmed and conveyed to its tomb with royal honors after death, should be broken to bits or ground into dust in it3 fortieth century and strewn over the surface of foreign lands as irreverently as though it were mere contemporary guano or Rus sian military bone-dust from the environs of Plevna. Hot only in Egypt, where IT RANKED AS A DIVINITY and exercised a supernatural protectorate over more than one eminently respectable dynasty, was this dignified quadruped much thought of in olden times. In the Hindoo mythology it figured ns a sort of saint, “practicing austerity on the banks of the Ganges” with such solemnity of aspect and decorum and demeanor as to inspire confidence In the riparian birds, which gathered arouni it “to pay homage to its sanctity. The oldest of all known myths de scribed the divine moon itself as a sublime white cat, devouring the gray mice of twi light,” an image of Aryan symbolism that foreshadows the classic legend according to which Diana, the chaste lunar goddess, was wont to assume the feline form at times. The affinity of cats to the “orb of night,” which few suburban residents of the pres ent day will feel inclined to dispute, was also more than hinted at in ancient Scandi navian folk-iore, which assigned the privi lege of drawing Freya’s chariot to a team of, grimalkins. Throughout Continental Italy in more modern ages, St. Gertrude has bean regarded as the special patroness and pro tectress of the harmless, necessary eat, which, however, in Sicily is held sacred to St. Martha. Altogether, this favored crea ture has from time 'immemorial occupied a POSITION IN THE FOUR-FOOTED HIERARCHY, and tho wholesale degradation it has just suffered at Liverpool is deplorably out of keeping with the grandeur of its historio past and the splendor of its family tradi tions. In an essay to whioh we have already referred it is stated that cats are of two kinds—the common or garden pussy and the wild or undomesticated fells. “The latter kiud resemblos the former, but is usually much larger, and when offered milk it does not purr. One of these cats is called ‘the lion.' Another large cat is called ’the tiger.’ It is not a suitable kind to make a nursery pet of, for its tastes are unreliable." With the “felis domesticus” well-nigh every English house -1 "11 is familiar. The British cottager or artisan must indeed be badly off who cannot manage to keep a cat, whioh is the cheafiest ' f inmate*, being by nature what Autoly- C’n was by profession, “a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles.” Of afl nuroiKjan countries England is “par excellence” the cat’s terrestrial paradise. In proportion to its population it maintains as a rule, in comfort and even luxury— more aits than are supported by voluntary > ontributlons in Frauoe, where pussy has a k "and time, on the whole, and is tenderly '■‘■'.•risked, in particular by the bourgeoisie, tke Preach peasantry being rendered oom- I natively insensible to its social merits by the prudential dictates of their stupendous biri/tuise*. Iu Gurmau family Ilfs, on the other hand, THE CAT PLAYS NO PART WHATEVER. For comestibles are either eaten up so ex haustively or guarded so rigorousiy my there is nothing casual for “Mitzi” to feed upon; and continuously to nourish a super fluous entity, rendering no positive and direct service to its entertainer, would be a flagrant violation of the immutable princi ples of Teutonic domestic economy. Hats do not thrive in German private dwellings, where even |ir.ico, modest though their wants be, cannot contrive to pick up a decent living. On what, then, ;sLould the household cat sustain life, not to say keep up a respectable appearance, in regard to sleekness of coat? Except as a professional destroyer of vermin, Grimalkin is barely tolerated in the Fatherland, nor is his lot a much happier one in the regions south of the Alps, where lemons bloom, but cats wither. Iu countries, moreover, denizened by the so called Latin races—ay, even In France, under stress of public adversity—the cat’s chronic liability to be eaten causes it to take a gloomy view of mundane affairs. It is best off, and most atits ease, unruffled by “armeres pensees” pointing either to star vation or stew—"gibelutte de lapin,” they fleuratelv call the latter abroad—on British soil, where we sincerely hope its mental equanimity will not be disturbed bv the reckless and sordid treatment to which the remains of so many of its Egyptian kins folk have been recently subjected. EDISON AS A NEWSBOY. Tho Early Life of the Now World- Famous Inventor. Harper's Magazine. “At the beginning of the civil war,” said Mr. Edison, “I was slaving late and early at selling papers, but, to tell the truth, I was not making a fortune. I worked on so small a margin that I had to be mighty careful that I did not overload myself with pap ers that I couldn’t sell. On the other hand, I could not afford to carry so few that I should find myself sold out long be fore the end of the trip. To enable myself to hit the happy mean, I formed a plan which turned out admirably. I made a friend of one of the com positors in the Free Press office, and persuaded him to show mo every day a ‘galley proof’ of the most important news article. From a study of its head liues I soou learned to gauge the value of tho day’s news aud its selling capacity, so that I could form a tolerably correct "estimate of the number of papers I should need. Asa rule, I could dispose of about 200; but if there was any special new* from the Beat of war the sale ran up to '3OO or over. Well, one day niv compositor brought me a proof slip, of which nearly the whole was taken up with a gigantic display head. It was the first report of the battle of Pittsburg Lauding—afterward called Shiloh, you know —and it gave the number of killed and wounded as 60,000 men. “I grasped the situation at once. Hero was a chance for enormous sales, if only the people along the line could know what had happened; if only they could see the proof slips I was theureadiiigl Suddenly an idea occurred to me. I rushed off to the tele graph operator and gravely made a propo sition to him, which he received just as gravely. He, on his part, was to wire to each of the principal stations on our route, asking the station-master to chalk upon the black bulletin board—used for announcing the time of arrival and departure of trains —the news of the great tattle, with its ac companing slaughter. This he wastodo at once, while 1 agreed, in return, to supply him ‘free, gratis, forj nothing,’; a Harrier's Weekly, a Harper's Monthly and a daily evening paper during the next six months from date. “This bargain struck, I began to bethink me ho w I was to get enough papers to make the grand coup I intended. I bad very little cash, and, I feared, less credit. I went to the superintendent of the delivery department aud proffered a modest request for 1,000 copies of the h ree Press on trust. But I was not much surprised when ray re quest was curtly aud gruffly refused. In those days, though, I was a pretty cheeky boy, ad I felt desperate, for 1 saw a small fortune in prospect, if my telegraph oper ator had kept his word—a point on which I was still a trifle doubtful. Nerving myself for a great stroke, I marched up-stairs into the office of Wilbur F. Storey himself, and asked to see him. A few minutes later I was shown to him. I told him who I was, and that I wanted 1,500 copies of the paper on credit. The tall, thin, dark-eyed, ascetic looking man stared at me for a moment, and then scratched a few words on a slip of paper. ‘Take that down-stairs,’ said he, ‘and you will get what you want.’ And so I did. Then I felt happier than I have ever felt since. “I took my 1,500 papers, got three boys to help me fold them, and mounted the train, all agog to find out whether the telegraph operator had kept his word. At the town where our first stop was made I usually sold two papers. As the train swung into that station 1 looked ahead and thought there must be a riot going on. A big crowd filled the platform, and as the train drew up I began to realize that they wanted my papers. Before we left I had sold 100 or 200 at 5 cents apiece. At the next station the place was fairly black with people. 1 raised the ante, and sold 300 papers at 10 cents each. So it wont on until Port Huron was reached. Then 1 transferred my remainiug stock to the wagon which always waited for me there, hired a small b >y to sit on the pile of papers in the back of the wagon, so as to discount any pilfering, and sold out every paper I had at 25 cents or more per copy. I remember I passed a church full of wor shippers, and stopped to yell out my news. In ten seconds there was not a soul left in meeting. All of them, including the par son, were clustered around me bidding against each other for copies of the precious paper. “You can understand why it struck me then that the telegraph must he about the best thing going, for it was the telegraphic notices on the bulletin boards that had done the trick. I determined at once to become a telegraph operator. But If it hadn’t been for Wilbur F. Storey I should never have fully appreciated the wonders of eleotrical science.” Young Virginia'on Her Muscle. From the Washington Intelligencer. The town of Wellsburg is all torn up, so to speak, over a sensational episode that oc curred there last weeK, and which continues to form one of the leading topic* of conver sation. The story is that the sensation was started through the gos-iping propensities of a woman who is getting dangerously near the point where her age will prevent her being longer designated as a young woman. Report has it that she set afloat some scandalous stories which involved the good name and fair repute of several well known people whose characters are said to be above reproach; anyhow, these stories were started and they were traced down to this particular woman. One of her stonei affected the good name of a very pretty young miss, aged about 18, who determined to have satisfaction. She accordingly secured a cowhide, but, being unable to properly conceal it about her person, made up her mind to trust to her own little fist* to puniih tho gosiper. Ac companied by a younger sister, she went to the room of the woman she wanted, stepped in quietly, locked the door, stated her errand, and then pitched In. The first blow sent the gossiper off her chair and under a sewing machine, and then there was a picnic. The miss of 18 threw herself on her defamor and held her down while she pounded her and pulled her hair. Tho woman howled for help, and one of the police officers of the town, hearing the racket, hurried to the scene. Ho found the door locked, but a* the tumult inside increased he finally adopted a heroic course and smashed the door in. As he did this, the young girl, her eyas aflame with the excitement of her victory, jumped up, and, banding the officer a $lO bill, said: “This will pay my flue—l fixed myself tor this before I started lo on her.” The punishment In flicted by the girl on the wornau was quite sever**. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1890. Vagaries of Memory. From an article by Prof. H. C. Y.'ood, in the March Century, we quote the follow ing: “When disease uffecU the brain these alterations of word-memory are something very strange. In the most complete form of this so-called aphasia the person cannot understand words, he cannot think in words, and cannot talk words. Usually, however, words are remembered sufficiently to be recognized when beard or seen, but although tue idea is there, the persou can not speak in words. I recall the case of an old G. r.mau woman who had aphasia. When asked how old she was, she would iudicate sixty with her fingers. If asked how many children she had had, she would iudicate seven. If two of the fingers were turned down she would get angry and insist upon the seven. She was able to under* and questions. She knew what the figure ‘T meant, but had not the power to say the word ‘seven.’ It is a very curious fact that iu these forms of aphasia the language of the emotions may ba preserved, while the language of the iutedect is destroyed. Very often a profane man. when tie has aphasia, is able to swear. This German woman, when ex ited, could say ‘Gott iu Himuiell’ Besides this, there was left to her but one little fragment of each of the two lan guages which she bad known. She could not say the English ‘no,’ but could say the German ‘nein;’ she could not say the Ger man ‘yah,’ but could splutter out the En glish ‘. es.’ The forms of aphasia known as word-blindness and word-deafness are very strange. The sufferer from word-blindness can write and will understand what is said to him; he will talk to you, and perhaps talk you to death; hut band him a book, a newspaper, or even the letter he himself has written, and he cannot read a word. Thus, an active man of business having writteu a letter, giving directions for au important matter, attempted t > re-id it, in order to see if it was correct, but was astounded to find that be could not make out a single word; ho had been suddenly stricken with word blindness. The sounds of the words, and the words themselves, had remained to him : hut the recollection of tho writteu forms of the words was gone. 11l a case of word deafness the person can talk and can write, but althougii his hearing is perfect he cannot recognize the spoken words. The sound of the voice is plain to his sense, but conveys no thought to him. The records of the past—the unconscious memory so to speak—exist in the brain; but for conscious recognition these must be dragged out before the cousciousno a It is doubtful whether there is such a thing as a bad memory, t. c., as a badly kept brain record. The difference in individuals as to the power of recollecting probably consists in the relation between c nsciousuess and memory. Oue man has the power of going into the library in his brain and picking up at once the leaf he wants, and glories in his good memory. Another cannot in a moment find what he desires, but when the floods of disease come, then spontaneously float up those things which he had thought were goue forever.” Local Record for the Morning News Local forecasts for Savannah and vicinity for to-day: Fair weather.
