Deacon ;Bamerly*a Cat Trap,
And Hoit it Worked.
Deacon n/Bubetly,of Brooklyn, owned
a back-yard and a female cat.
That cat had tnore admirers among
the feline tribe than any dozen other
jabbies in the city of churches.
Every night fche held a levee, and
her suitors for blocks around came and
sat all over the yard, and on the sur
rounding jowled thair love
songs into her willing ear.
Occasionally some jealous Romeo
challenged a rival to mortal combat,and
the monotony of love-making was agree
able divesified by an old fashioned cat
fight, in which the combatants bumped
their backs, spit as each other, clawed
off handfuls of fur, gave vent to the
most unearthly yells, and m-tde matters
lively lb. themselves aud the neighbor*,
hood generally.
The performances usually began at
eight o’clock sharp aud lasted through
till daylight without granting the audi
siuce the customary intermission lor re
freshments.
This made it pleasant for the dea
con, whose bed-room wiuduw was situa
ted over the back-yard.
Very pleasaut, indeed.
Aud the deacon appreciated it too.
The music from the cat orchestra
charmed him so that he was unable to
sleep, aud he used'to get up aed stand
at the wiudow ad listen eutranced, as
it were fur hours at a turn.
Aud ever and anon the deacon would
become sj frenzied with delight that he
wildly s>ize movable articles of furni
ture and lean far out of the casement
and hurl them on to the stage of action
in tokeu of approval.
Thus mutters went on for some time un
til the novelty of the affair began to
wear off aud the Deacon grew tired of
firing the furniture out of the window
aad then gathering it all up next
morning and luggiug it iu the house
again.
The sameness of the exercise, so to
speak, palled on his appetite, and be
even wished that he —or the cats —were
dead.
The other nigh;, when the cats were
usually lively and cheeful, Bumberly
turned over on his sleepless pillow and
registered a vow that he would fix the
fur on those frisky felines at the first
favorable opportunity, if it cost eve.,
ry cent he aud all his relatives are
worth.
lie meant business, too.
The next day his mind was filled
with plaus for vengeance against the
cats.
At last he bit an idea that he thought
would be just the thing.
lie would catch them in a spring
trap.
'ihere was a large tree with spread
ing branches standing in Bumberly’s
yard, and this just suited to his pur
pose.
He immediately set about construct*
ing his trap.
Procuring a strong rope he went out,
climbed the tree rod fastened an end
to one of the largest of the limbs ; then
he came down, made a slip noose in the
other end of the rope,pulled it to the
ground by almost supernatural -trength
and secured it with an arrangement of
sticks, so that if a cat or anything hap
pened to step cn a certaiu spot it would
spriug up and catch the iutruder in the
noose.
Bumberly made it good and strong,
aud calculated that it would swing up
about two hundred weight of eats if
they chanced to get iu it without trou
ble.
And the Deacon B. smiled, a< he
thought of the fun he was going to
have.
lfß. had only known—but he didn’t
—and we won’t anticipate
That afternoon,he was called away on
business, pd didn’t return till a late
hour in the evening. Upon his arrival
he found the front door locked, so fa.*
went around to the hack gate, entered
and was walking softly across the yard,
thinking of home ad a hot supper,
when, just as he reached the shadow of
the tree, something suddenly tightened
about his left leg, yanked his feet from
under him, and strung h m up in the
air by the heels,and with his bead bob*
bing around in the ashes and dirt.
Bumberly’s first impression wns that
some Mexican was up in the tree trying
to abduct him with a laso, but as soou
as he could collect his thoughts, it flash
ed over him that he had been caught
in that infernal cat trap.
Then the Deacon for the time being
lost sight of his early religious traiuing
and gave forcible utterance to senti
ments that are chiefly represented by
dashes in all jouruals of respectabili
ty.
He cla red the ground,kicked with his
disengaged coot, howled and filled the
air with three .cornered adjectives, until
Mrs. B. finally heard the rurnrus and
came out and cue the rope, setting him
free
Then Deacon Bumberly got up and
walked into the house on one foot, all
the time talking to hiaiself in a foreign
tongue.
However, he says that as soon as he
gets around again, he meant to organize
a c usade that will drive every cat out
of Christendom.
We wish him success.
A little girl who had often heard her

CALHOUN. GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15.1877.
A Story of .Real Lite.
Mr. Mtiooney is foreman in a foun-.
dry, and gets thirty dollars a week.—
With this salary the family ought to get
along well and save money, but they do
not. Mr. Marooney has a cousin, a
shoemaker, who only gets fifteen dollars
a week, yet who sails right along in
lightning express, while Marooney
comes lagging along in a freight with a
hot.Scx.
“How do you manage it, Jack,” he
would frequently ask, “to gfet along the
way you do? Here you actually keep
your family, and save money on fifteen
dollars a week, while it takes every cent
l make to live, and I gee double the
pay !”
“Oh, I don’t manage it at all,” says
Jack, “I just lake my money home to
the old woman on Saturday night, and
she takes her five dollars to ruu the
house w ith and pats the rest away ”
“Do you give her ail the money ?”
asks Mr. Marooney, musing.
“Oh, no, not quite, I keep out a little
for tobacco during the week, and a tri
fle to keep me from feeling lonesome,
if i kept it all in my pocket I would
spend it sure, but Mary keeps it tight
aud safe.”
Mr Marooney talked it over with his
wife that night, and they concluded to
try Jack’s plau. s ,/fhe following Satur
day night he brought home his thirty
dollars, and'keeping back the
rest iu her kee, ing, aud she promised
to
five. She first week she squeezed
through somehow, and got along with
six and a was
quite pleased and began layiug awake
at uight thinking about what kind of a
house he would build. He thought a
plain rustic cottage with a bay window
would be ab ut right. The next week
her expense account only footed up five
dollars aud eighty cents, and Marooney
changed his design for a future residence
from frame to brick. The next week
she brought iCdown thirty cents more,
and he added a wing with a wash-house.
Then'she made a superhumau struggle,
quit buying milk, anu came within two
shillings of the goal for which she had
been striving. Mr. Marooney decided
on an iron fence in front of his premises.
The next week she lost gronnd, slipped
and came out at the six dollar po t. —
Mr. Marooney thought a neat paling
fence was good enough for anybody, but
but when the ensuing week she came
in with flying colors and struck the five
dollar mark in both eyes, Mr. Maroney
had the iron railing reinstated and
granite steps running up to the door.—
She next week she took the money she
had saved, went and bought her a love
of a hat, too oute for anything, a black
silk dress, and a cherub of a cloak,
that made the woman next door cry
with envy till her nose got sore, and
Mr. Marooney came to the conclusion
that it didn’t pay to live in one’s own
property, keeping up repairs, insurance
etc., and the worry and stew in draad
of fire and earthquakes mo e than coun.
ter-balanced any trifling advantages
there might be. — Cincinnati Breakfast

Newspapers, Bibles aud Hqaash

The Rev. Charles Martyn, of this
city, preached a sermon yesterday, on
newspapers. The reports of the sermon
in the morning newspapers show that
he has a very good conception of the
uses and abuses of journalism in gener
al, but ihat he fails to appreciate all (he
requireuit nts of such publications. He
said :
“The newspaper is the American Bi
ble. More intellects have been hope
lessly addled by the milk-nud'water diet
of the daily newspaper thau by all oth
er Uitups put together. Talk about
trashy novels—they are nothing to it
The habitual reading of the newspaper
stops the reading of anything better aud
higher, because it makes it distasteful

reading in three mouths than we do in
a year. * e read in a nevrep per about
a man in Orange county who has suc

fifty pounds. What ot it? What do
we care about fifty pound squashes ?
There are greater things iu this world
than fifty pound squas hes. This
dear old Bible that your mother gave
you is a better Bible than a newspa
per.
It is true that the newspaper tre -
passes on the dominion of almost every
brunch of literature. The newspaper
is no longer a mere record of the news
of the day, or rather the word “news”
has received such an extended meaning
that it is made, in the newspaper sense,
to include ail matters of iniormation.
from the latest local accident to the crit
icism of the latest book, the explanation
of the newest scientific discovery and
the solution of the eource of the River
Congo. Journals which undertake to
supply this extended information are
called upon to meet the tastes of a great
variety of readers Some are city cler*
gymen, like Mr. Martyn.who naturally
take no interest in squashes, unt l they
are served in the shapes ot pies. Oth*
ers are farmers who appreciate fully
the difficulty of raising fifty pound
squashes, and who read with interest
such a pargraphs as Mr. Maatyn de
nounces. If Mr. Martyn would take a
seat for a few days at an editor’s desk
he would be discover, not
that he had been printing paragraphs
in which none of his readers take any
interest, but how many things he would
be asked to print which do.iuterest cer

could not find room. — Evening Foot,

Some years ago, a young man hold
ing a subordinate position in th' East
India Company service, twice attempted
to deprive himself of life by snapping
a loaded pistol at his head. Each time
the pistol missed fire. A friend enter
ing his room shortly afterward, he re
quested him to fire it out of the win*
Uow. It then went off without any
difficulty, batisfied that tho weapon
had been duly primed and loaded, the
youug man sprang up exclaiming, “ l
must be preserved for something great,’
and from that momen gave up the idea
of suicide, which for some time pre
vious had been uppermost in his
thoughts. That yonng man afterward
became Lord Clive.

At the meeting of the Sazeiac Lying
Club last eveuing, the medical member
when it came his turn to spout deliver
ed' himself of the following, which,
whether it be original or not, is worthy
of publication :
Once when I was practicin’ over in
Sierra county, Califorcy, a feller got
caved on by a bauk and got his skul[
lructured clean out of shape 'lhey
picked him up and brung him to me,
and I made a diagnosis of his case and
found that his brain, which was ex
posed. was full of dirt and rock. There
wasn’t nothin’ to do but it out
and clean it; the idea uf a iuau gain’
around with the action of his brain be*
in interfered with by three or four
pounds of clay aud gravel was clean
out of question, and I set too much
store by uiy medical reputation to con
sent to any uch doin’.*. I took out the
brain aud put it in a tin pan, and while
l wa> w thiu’ of it the patient seed a
foliar across the street what he had some
bizuess with, aud went over to have a
talk with I im. He forgot to come back
after his brai :s, and l didn’t see him
again lor two months, when one day be
in’ in the jinin’ county, I seed him. I
hailed him and told him them thar
brains was up at my office, ami it he
wanted ’em he’u better come and git
’em. . .
“ Don’t want ’em,” ssid he
“ Why not ?” said I.
“ Wal, you see,” said he, “ I'm run—
nin’ far office now aud L don't need
’em : got no use in the world for cm ;
fact is. they’d be an incumbrance under
the circumstances.”
The late Mrs. Jane W. was equally
remarkable for kindness ot heart and
absence of mind. Oue day the was ac
costed by a beggar, whose stout and
healthy appearance startled her into a
momentary doubt of the needfulness ol
charity in this instance. “ Why,” ex*
c'aimed the old !ady, “ you look well
aole to work.” “ Yes.” replied the
supplicant, “ but l have been deaf and
dumb these seven years ” “ Poor man,
what a heavy affliction !” exclaimed Mrs
W , at the same time giving him relief
with a liberal hand. On returning
home she mentioned the fact, remark
ing, “ What a dreadful thing it is to be
deprived of such precious faculties!”
“ But how,” asked her sister. “ did you
know that the poor man had been deaf
ind dumb for years?” ‘ Why,”
was the quiet and unconscious answer,
“ he told me so.”

A Honker’s Death Scene.
‘‘l never saw such a thing in my life’”
said James Donohue, the night watch
man of the Central Park Museum, New
York. “On Tuesday Zip, one of Mr.
Barnum’s monkeys, fell suddenly and
dangerously ill. He was a great favor
ite with his companions—their leader
in mischief. Superintenden t Conk
lin examined him, and said would
die" We got a bed of straw and cot
ton for him,£and left warm milk by his
side.
“At 11 o’clock I went to the cage.—
Usually the monkeys at’uight sit hud*
died together, sound asleep; but this
time they were all wide-awake, sitting
silent aud motionless, watching* Zip’s
dying agonies. Zip lay to the corner
sobbing and moaning. Jack and Pete
the two trick monkeys, were at his side.
Jack had Zip’s head resting on his bov.
orn, while Pete every now and then dip
ped his paw iu the milk and wet Zip’s
lips.
“Butjthero’s a. k stranger thing about
it yet,” Mr. Donohue continued; “at
miduight Zip died. Then came what
my partner Reilly and Barnuui’s man
say they never saw t‘ e like ot. As
Zip’s head fell limp in tne arms of Jack
he gave a little low squeal, aud Pete
sprang to his side. Pete looked at Zip,
lifted up one of his paws, tapped him
gently on the breast, put his ear to Jbis
heart, raised his head, and then gave a
small squeal. Jack in answer dropped
Zip just as naturally as a human being
would at the first intimation that the
form he held was dead Pete was the
first to recover himself. Slowly he
approached Zip, examiueu him closely,,
latsed him iu hU. arms, dropped him
hard on the floor of the cage, and as
Zip did not move, sprang to the upper
most perch. Wasu’t that strange
The reporter asseuted.
“Then, sir.” continued Mr. Donohae,
“came the most extraordinary thing
ever witnessed in the park. The mon%
keys set up the most piercing screams.
The baby monkeys pressed close to
their mothers, and the females clos.i to
tbe males. All chattered and chattered,
and pointed to poor Zip. Finally Pete
and Jack, followed by all the others,
sprang to the bottom of the cage. They
were all silent now, moving slow, and
in the form of a circle they gradually
came nearer and nearer. Then, hug
ging close, they stopped. All night
long they remained watching the body,
and I never saw a wake that could beat
that one for earnestness aud sympa
thy.”
He dropped in to look over a few ex
changes aud have a cht-.t with the editor.
While he was tracing with his fingers
ou our 'able outiiue of the move
ments of tho couteudiug armies iu Bul
garia, the devil came iu muuchiug an
apple, and the subject immediately
changed to that ol fruil. After draw
ing a table comparison between tho
fruit, grown in California and that pr •
doC:d“baek in the Sttes,”as he reuiem*
b-ired it,and d< s anting on the superior
flavor and plentifulness of the latter, he
said to the devil. “Why, back yonder
where I used to live when i was a boy,
apples were so plentiful they used to
feed them to hogs.” I s’pose you got
all the apples you could eat then ?” re*
turned the boy. He got up to go, and
a* he went out he heaved a deep sigh
and said, “boys ain’t what they was in
my time.”
How Barnum got his Wife.—
Here is a little romance. It will be re
membered that when Barnaul's show
was here several years ago his treasurer
took sick an I was *eft at the 'lassaxoit
House. He died there and was buried
here, we believe. He was engaged to
be married to a Miss Fish, a sister of
J>.rnuuj’s present treasur r. After hi*
dva;h it became necssary for Miss Fish
to write several letters to Mr Barnum
in teference to her dead lover. Mr.
Barnum admired the lady because ot
her well written leters, sought an
acquaintance —an acquaintance which
soon ripfued into love, and to make a
ion story a short one, the then Miss
Fish is now Mrs. Barnum. Barnum
is twenty-seven years older thau his
wife.
