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 mother speak of her father, who was somewhat ba’d, as being a self-made man, asked her one day if father was a self.made man, why didn’t he put more hair on his head. 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 Table. Newspapers, Bibles aud Hqaash es. 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 Most of our forefathers did more solid 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 ceeded in raiding * squash that weighs 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 tain classes ot readers, but for which he could not find room. — Evening Foot, JMen Escaped. 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. Bacon, the sculptor, when a boy five years old, fell into a pit of a soap boiler, and must have perished had not a work man, just enter mg the >ard, observed toe top of his head.

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.” Josh Billings says he knows people who are so fond o r a gumeut that they will stop and dispute with a guide board about the distance to the next own. 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.
