The Cat In Antiquity.
From the London Lancet,
Was the cat. as a fireside pet, known to
the ancients? It it was, was it as the
domestic animal familiar to ourselves, or
was it simply as a domesticated savage,
like the monkey or the gazelle? Prof. Vir
chow inclines to the latter opinion. Having
examined the mummies of Egyptian cats,
he found they bad nothing in common with
our feline friend. The cats of antiquity,
according to other archaeologis s, were
slenderer than ours, and approached the
weasel in appearauce. But Signor Saglio,
the distinguished Italian scholar who is
engaged ou the magnificent "Dic
tionary of Greek and Roman An
tiquities” now in course of publication
at Paris, under the editorship of Daromberg,
rend the other day before Use Academy *£
inscriptions a menu dr u* the tub Wv, *n
•which he holds a contrary opinion to that
0t Virchow. The cal in ancient times was,
he maintains, the identical domestic animal
known to modern Europe. On Etruscan
tombs he has found paintings which repre
sent the cat as a regular inmate of the
house of the deceased, one of these pictures
showing us a company at dinner, and the
cat toying under the table with boues of
chicken or partridge. Signor Saglio further
refers Prof. Virchow to the British mu
seum, where on two water jars belong
ing to the fifth century B. C., do
mestic cats are depicted in a “Scula di
Musica.” Of those cats one is held by a
string and another stands upright on a
footstool while a boy offers it a dainty.
There are other pictorial representations,
according to the accomplished Italian
archaeologist, which prove that the cat was
cherished m autiquity as one of the most
useful, as well as graceful, domestic ani
mals, inspiring the affections bestowed on
it by eminent parsons of all times—from
Mohammed to Petrarch, from Montaigne
to Hoffman and Dumas.
He Didn’t Want a Princess.
The Marquis of Hartington, who is to marry
the Duchess of Manchester, says the New York
W orld, was once introduced to President Lin
coln. It was during the war and the Marquis’
sympathies were with the south. Lincoln, not
having caught the name, repeatedly called him
Mr. Partington Lord Hartingt.m was annoyed
and finally corrected the President, when Mr.
Lincoln said: *‘Oh, I thought you must bo
some relative of old Mrs. Partington, who tried
to sweep back the ocean with a broom.”
His lordship njoyed the President's humor, as
he was someuung of a wag himself. It
was Hartington, who, when once waited
upon by an emissary and asked If he
would marry one of the royal princesses, ad
jusiel his eye-glass and Inquired, "Cawn t you
find another fellah?”

A NEW ANECDOTE OF LINCOLN.
Tha Way He Found Belief When De
pressed.
From Harper'i for October.
The fight of legal tender bad been won,
and won on the ground stated by Thaddeus
Stevens in the opening sentence of bis
speech: “This bill is a measure of necessity,
not of choice.” These; bad beenpassedand
approved. We could is me $150,000,000 in
currency at once, $50,000,000 would pay the
demand no'es, leaving *10O,O(XJ.O0O to pay
our soldiers and carry on the war for some
months to come.
We had also gained our first military suc
cess Grant had captured K>>rts Henry and
Donelson, and was pushing for Nashville.
The clouds seemed to be break ng away,
and the future to look more hopeful.
I was, therefore, surprised when, one af
ternoon late in February, 1862, President
Lincoln entered the register’s room with as
sad a look as I ever saw upon his careworn j
face. He dropn and wearily into a seat he j
bad previously chosen, and, after a short j
silence, exclaimed:
“What have v ou to say about this legal
tender act? Here is a committee of groat
financiers from the great citie, who say
that, by nppproving this act, I have
wrecked the country. They know all about
it—or they are mistaken.
“You have done nothing of the kind,” I
said. “The time fu argument ha pis<i.
Legal tender is inevitable. The gentlemen
you mention have made it a necessity.
Tbe people would take our notes without
the legal tender clause. Tho banks and tho
copperheads will uoL We cannot risk ttie
cou try in their hands. You have followed
your own good judgment in signing the
act. The people will sustain you and Secre
tary Chase and cingress.”
“I do not see that I am exclusively re
sponsible.” he continued. “I say to these
gentlemen, ‘Go to Secretary Chase; he is
managing the finance.’ They persist, and
have argued me almost blind. Ia n worse
off than St. Paul. He was in a straight be
twixt two. lam iu a straight betwixt
twenty, and they are bankers and finan
ciers.’*
“You are right in signing the act,” I
said; “that point has passed debate.”
“Now, that is just where my mind is
troubled,” ho continued. “We owe a lot of
money which wo cannot pay; we have got
to run in debt still draper. Our creditors
think we are honest and will pay in the
future. They will take our notes, but they
want small notes which they can use among
themselves. Ho far I see no objection, but
i do not like to say to a creditor you shull
accept in payment of your debt something
that was not money when it was contracted.
That doesn’t seem honest, and I do not be
lieve the constitution sanctions dishonesty.”
“No more do I,” I replied. “I do not
claim that legal tender can Ira upheld as an
abstract right under the constitution. But
self-preservation is a right higher than the
const! uti n. We are warranted in making
any sacrifice of propo-ty or political right
to save the union. Gold and silver are
beyond our reach; our soldiers must be paid
aud fed and clothed. We can issue treas
ury notes and circulate them as currency.
It is right and honest that we should
give them the quality ot legal tender,
provided we return to specie as soon as the
necessity has passed. I hove watched the
debates in congro-8. I have read the opinion
of your attorney general. There aro those
who hint and suggest that legal tender is
provided for m the constitution. I have
rend no speech in which that right is
broadly assert-d. I believe it safer to de
fend our position on the ground of ne
cessity.”
“ I understand that is Chase’s ground,
though he does not put it so strongly. We
shall see. Wo will wait to hear from the
oouutry districts, from tho people.”
Ho again relapsed into silence, which I
did not interrupt. Thou he said, “When
the old monks had tired themselves out in
fighting the devil, did they not have places
to which they retired for rest, which were
called retreats?”
“They did,” 1 answered, “though I un
derstand tnoy wore for spiritual rather than
bodily recuperation.”
“1 think of making this office one of my
retreats,” lie said. “It is so quiet and rest
ful here. Do you never get discouraged*”
“I shall tra rtelig itod to have you,” I said,
ignoring his ques ion. “I only wish I could
say of it, as Father Prout sang of the
“Groves of Blarney,”
“ ‘There's gravel walks there for speculation,
And conversation in sweet solitude. ’ ”
“Tell me more of that ballad,” he ex
claimed cheerily. “I like its jingle. What
an Irish conceit that is—'conversation in
sweet solitude.’ ”
“I fear I cannot. I must sond you the
book. I only remember,
•• There's statues gracing this noble place in,
All heath“n goddess s so fair.
Bold Neptune, Plutarch, and Nicodaymus,
A-standing naked in the open air.’ ”
“1 must have that book to-night,” he
said. "A good Irish bull is medicine for the
blues.”
He left the office actually to the sound
of his own musical laugh. He sent, for the
hook—a copy of Crofton Croker’s “Popular
Songs of Ireland.” It is before me now;
priceless almost, when I remember that it
once gave Abradain Lincoln some pleasure,
some respite from his cares.
This story may possibly be regarded as
trivial, but it tends to show with what in
tense earnestness the President bore his
grave responsibilities, arid that he seized
upon an amusing story or volume because it
diverted him for the moment, aud strength
ened rather than weakened his capacity for
his graver duties. I think it tends also to
illustrate the simple honesty of his
mind. Had Mr. Lincoln been pre
served to the republic I do not believe that
the question of legal tender would have
been carried into the supreme court of the
United States. The weight of his i nfluence,
never so powerful as on iheday of his death,
would have been thrown in favor of com
w.'nc.’iqj the relfrscuent of ae legal tender
nates at the close of the rrar, and the return
to a specie payment at the earliest date con
sistent with prudence and discretion.
A NEW COTTON PICKER.
Mighty Results Expected from Mr.
Campbell's Invention.
From the New York Journal of Finance.
Considerable intorest is being manifested
in Chicago in a cotton-picking machine in
vented by A. Campbell of Chicago, of
which great things are expected. The in
ventor claims that it will save 90 per cent, in
the cost of picking. A company for the
manufacture of the machines has been in
corporated under the laws of Illinois. It is
called the Loan Star Cotton Picking Ma
chine Company, with a capital of #5,000,-
000. George Gurley of Waco. Tex., is the
president; Seth Turner of Chicago, secre
tary.
They will establish a factory in
Chicago, they say, at a cost of at least
$500,000, and will employ 1,000 men. Each
machine will cost between #3OO and #SOO.
Last year, they say, it cost nearly $100,000,-
000 to pick the cotton crop, and they claim
that their machine will do it for one-tenth
that sum, aud that the quality of the cotton
will be improved. One machine will do the
work of twenty men.
The cotton picker consists of a two-,
wheeled cart, with a boxed receptacle to
catch the picked cotton. The wheels give
motion to the machinery by simple cog con
nections. The cylinder looks like a grain
thrasher cylinder, except that the teeth, or
fingers, are from four to six times longer
and revolve with the cy.inder. They also
have another distinct, different and more
rapid revolution. Tho forward motion of
the cart c irresponds exactly to the travel of
the fingers or spindles m the cylinder, or
mechanically offsets the forward motion of
tho car wheels, so that while the spindles
are permeating all through the cotton stalks
they at the same time remain perfectly mo
tionless as far as tho forward motion is con
cerned. Mechanically the lingers extend
through the hush spinning on all ripe cotton,
aud from the fact that there is no forward
movement of the individual lot of spindles
tha.i in the bush, the plant and the unripe
cotton bolls are not injured.

WHAT THE OYSTER EATS.
QCESB FOOD THE LU3CIOU3 BI
VALVE FEEDS UPCN.
Everything is Fish That Comes to His
Net,and Ha Lets Nothing Goby Him
—bis BUI of Fare Has Some High
Sounding Titles.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“Do you know what the food of an oyster
is—the gentle, yielding, uncomplaining,
acephalous rnoilusk, who has suffers 1 more
evictions than any known race or tribe or
gp- cios since the world began?"
The microscopist had lifted his bent heal
from over his binocular and wiped his eyes
with a silk handkerchief to ease tho pain
consequent upon tbe continued strain his
eyes bad been subjected to whilo l -oking
through his instrument with the str nget
glasses science has thus far furnished. To
his question a wondering negative was
given, and tbe microscopist smiled blandly,
and not with tue self-sufiiciout air of one
who-knows-it-ali-and-would- be-pieased-to-
impart-his-information.
“lhe innocent-looking oyster, which from
tbe time of Aristotle and Linnaeus and Lu
oullus to that of Briilat-Savarin, has held
the highest place in the gustatory field—tho
oyster which is to-day the chef d'ceuvre ot
tbe church stew, tho entree to the big ban
quet to high dignitaries and statesmen—tho
oyster, wmea, speaking in au all-round
sense, is in everybody’s mouth now that tbe
season is upon us when there is nary lack of
an Rto interfere with the enjoyment of tho
shelly delicacy—the oyster, I rep* at, in his
small way, is a marine hog, a cannibal, a
voracious, grasping, every-auv hungry beg
gar, whose oppetite is as insatiable .s that of
man for him, aud that’s the oyster——”
And the microscopist paused to get
breath, and new expletive adjectives to
apply to the animal tnat Hasn’t backbone
enough to hit back.
“Yes, sir; tbe oyster Is omnivorous,
gramnivorous, carnivorous, but none the
less delightful because of his pickerel-like
appetite. Just look through tho microscope
aud tell me what it looks like.”
To the naked eye the object looked like a
drop of brownish-colored liquid, but under
the great m igniflar it proseuted a wonder
ful appearanc •.
‘‘lt looks like the lack yard of a New
York tenement house,” was the roply to
the scientist’s question.
“Exactly. Yet that is the food of the
oyster. There is everything to be found iu
the stomach of this bivalve—inorganic as
well as organic life; the lowest form of
animal aud plant life, dirt, sea deposits—in
fact, the most incongruous collection of
things imaginable. That is a drop of the
food found in the stomach of an oyster just
twenty-four hours out of water.
Talk about the hog tahooed by
Deuteronomy, why he’s the cleanest
animal in the world compared to the
oyster so JJfnr as wbat enters into the
stomachs of both is concerned. That net
like concern iu tho center is a specimen of
the Crypto-ltaphidie®, while below It is a
oartially digested Rotifer, a crustaoean.
There is also a number of other crustaceous
tribes, grasses and animalculieof the lowest
form of life known either iu tho animal or
vegetable kingdom, on which the oyster
feeds, the names of which are simply par
alyzing to the average layman, but upon
which the oyster seems to grow fat.”
Then tho microscopist paused and going
to a handsome carved cabinet brought out
some plates of photo-microscopy, showing
the food found iu tue stomach of au oyster.
Theso places, he explained, are from exami
nations by Baabford Dead. A. 8., who fur
nished them to the New York fish commis
sion.
Then the microscopist gave an interesting
sketch of the food of an oyster us snowu by
the accompanying plates.
“According to Prof. Ryder, the eminent
authority on ovsters and tneir ways,” con
tinued the scientist, “the oyster lives en
tirely on microscopic beings and fragments
of orgauie matter, which are carried by
currents from the palps aud gills to the
large mouth of the animal at the binge end
of the shell. The inside of the gullet and
stomach, like some other parts of the body,
is covered with cilia,so that food ouce fairly
in tbe mouth will be carried by their own
action dowu to tho cavity of the stomach,
where it is carried into the folds and deep
pouches in its walls, and eve i into the
openings of the bile ducts to undergo diges
tion or solution, so as to be fitted in its
passage through the intestine to be taken
into the circulation, and finally disposed of
in building up the structures of the body.
“Now, along with the food wnich is
taken a very large amount of indigestible
dirt, or inorganic matter, is carried in,
which, to a great measure, fills up the in
testines, together with the refuse or waste
from the body. When this matter is ex
amined you find the oyster exists largely
on diatoms. What is a diatom ? It is a
low type of moving plant which swims in
the water incased in minute sandstone
cases or boxes of the most delicate bonuty
of workmanship. These, when found in
the stomach, have had their living contents
entirely dissolved out by the action of tho
digestive juices of tho stomach. There are
genera of diatoms, compvlodiscus, concino
discus and Davlcnla, the first being a
singularly bent form, the second disconlial.
and the last boat shaped. All aro beauti-
fully marked.
“Then Mr. Oyster has as a variety of his
food a sort of mid-week dinner. The spores
of algie, the larvre or young of many ani
mals, such as sponges, bryozoa by droids,
worms, and—and here is where this unobtru
sive gentleman of tho world shows his love
for his species, in a cannibalistic manner, it
is ti ue—moliusks that are small enough to
be taken in as aliment by the oyster,though
thoir bodies being soft and iuviw no ukuiw
tsM no traces we iuku, k-ut a* .a demoe-
Strnto 1 that suoh Is the case by the presenoa
of these food products in such stagnant
waters as may bo found at the heads of the
small o eoks or inlets along the Chesapeake
where the water Is but liillo uffocte 1 by tho
tides. There always appears to be there a
relatively greater development of a some
what characteristic surface or shallow water
fauna of minute forms.
“Some of the results of microscopical in
vestigation iuto tho coutonts of the stomach
of an oyster are intensely surprising,” con
tinued the scientist, thoughtfully. “Live
crustaceans have been fouud twenty-four
hours after the capture of the oyster, while
some are varieties of diatoms and desmids,
which are regarded as totallyof fresh water.
Of tho latter—tho desmids—it has been
known that taree forms of tho genera
— cosmarixun, microsterias and closterium
—and thoir presence has been accounted for
on tho ground that fresh water springs
mixed with the fluid native to tho oyster,
and in which ho was found.
“Among the animals that the oyster’s car
nivorous tendency impels him to absorb are
rotifers, two varieties, fr.sli and marine;
crustaceans, a number of varieties, includ
ing tho water flea, daphuia, and tho cypris,
both of which may readily bo detectod by
the eye in nearly every specimen of bed
water; protozoans, two families, and a Zell
animalcule (vorcalla), which has bean
found in Rockaway oyshers, aud partly di
gested. The riuz ipods have been met with
in but three examples in Far Rockaway
species—one a rotalic. Just think of this
unostentatious yet welcome guest to the
house of tho most exclusive as well as tae
most lowly, absorbing fleas. Taev are
water fleas, it is true, but fleas, neyerthele-s.
The fleas don’t, like it, it is true,
and show their opposition to the
methods of the oyster securing
food by refusing to die, so that the mollusk
can not digest them. Fleas have been found
alive in oysters twenty-four hours after the
capture of tho shellfish.- This would go to
prove that the food of an oyster is not the
larger living organisms, but tho immense
number ot larval terms, both of those 1 have
named, aud the kindred crustaceans, the
ova and young of small moliusks and the
lower stages of hvdroidsand bryozoa, while
the more important elements of tho oyster
food consist of the lo w, mostly single-celled
plants Each as the damids end diatoms,
which constitute at ’east 80 per cent, of the
t-.tal amount of oys-er food. Some of tbe
names included in th*e general terms
would simpiv make the jaws of the readers
of the Inquirer ache it they tried to pro
| nour.ee them. I will give you two as a
sample. Here they are: Pleurosigma at
tar uatum and nctlnocyclus cruciata.
“Asa corrective, probably, to his many
sided appetite, the oyster indulges la vege
tables also. lie is extremely fond of sea
weed—pr.ncipally of alvi which is
recogn zd My its checkered lines of squares
of c: lor p yh The proportions of food,
rougn’.y stated, are about as follows:

“Now, would you think as you see the
oviter lay it: bis pearly btd that he was
such a rapacious chap as I have shown biai
to be—a gourmand and a gourmet at once—
a cannibal, and yet at outgrowth (if you
take into consideration his artificial pro
pagation) of civilisation? He is at once a
paradox in bis seeming inoffensiveness and
gorging and murderous inclinations, aud a
contradiction in that he is a vegetarian and
a clay-eater; but with ail these peculiarities
—and you can scarcely call them faults —he
hasn’t an enemy in the world and has a
greater civilizing influence than gunpowder,
and is no more proud when on the table of
the Philadelphi i epicure than in the hut of
the savage. Long live the oyster and
his ways, aud especially his peculiar bill
of fore, from which we reap the benefit.”

TEH SENTENCE TO THE CROSS.
A Fac Simile of tho Orig'nal Plate Con
taining the Saylor’s Death Order.
From the New Fork Teleqram.
In an odd collection of bowio knives,
pistols and other riff-raff at one of the
many museums on tho Bowery, a few days
ago, I came across a small brass plate, the
surface of which was covered with Hebrew
characters. A small card that hung above
it read as follows:
The following is a coov of the most mem
orable judicial sentence which has ever been
pron >u iced in tho annals of tho world—
namely, that of death against the Savior,
the knowledge of whic i must bo interesting
in too highest <legroo to every Christian.
Tho sentence is word for word as follows:
Sentence pronounced by Pontius Pilate,
iutendant of tbe province of Lower Galilee,
t at Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death by
the cross. In the seventeenth year of the
reig.i of the Emporot Tiberius, and on tbe
25th of the month of March, in the most
holy city of J.-rusalem, during the pontifi
cate of Annas aud Calaphas. Pontius Pilate,
iutendant of tne province of Lower Galilee,
sitting in judgment in the presidential seat
of the praetors, sentences Jesus Christ of
Nazare.h to death on a cross betwien two
robbers, n< the nunier us and notorious tes
timonials of the people drove:
One—Jesus is a misleader.
Two—He has excited the people to sedi
tion.
'Three—He is an enemy to the laws.
Four—He calls himself tho Son of God.
Five—He calls himself falsely the King
of Israel.
Six —He went into the temple foUowed by
a multitude carrying palms in their hands.
Orders —The first centurion, Quintus Cor
nelius to bring him to the place of execu
tion, forbids all |>ersons, rich or poor, to
prevent the execution of Jesus. 'The wit
nesses who have signed the execution
against Jesus are; One. Daniel Robani,
Pharisee; two, John Zorobabel; three,
Raphael Robani; four, Capet* Jesus to be
taken out of Jerusalem through the gates
of Tournes.
A card below the plate states that the
translation is literal, aud that the plate,once
owned by one of the commissaries of art in
the French army in Italy, is a fac simile of
the original plate, which was discovered in
the year 1280, in the city of Aquill, in the
kingdom of Naples.
The original relic is now kept in the
chapel of Caserta.
