MEAN CAT.

Invites 1'rh'tHlly Overture* uml Respond! with a mte. "You had better look out for your hand. sir. Tom i.s a pujrilLst." This iivici' was siioUcii lv a ijutoman al tlie union CWclund. ami was nldressed to a hcjicvolent-loolcijifr ,,],i gx!titk*in:m jyhy )i•'ijJ. st« miji*1down to pet a Inrce Maltvso eat. "Oh, he seems to like me," mi.swe.red the ffcntluman. "I malco It a ruli* to Iks friendlv witli all duml) animaJK, and firmly believe that they appivWaU* ldnd treat—" I tut at this instant the cat suddenly rose up on his hindkr|rs oiul struck out simultaneously with his barbel fore paws, frraspinfronoof tlieold gentleman ungloved lingers betwv.cn his t-.-th and (rivinjr it a sharp bite. Satisfied with the result of his attack, wily Tom scampered away across tlic tracks and the other'side .if the depot, watc'ied the old ffentleman bandage his bleeding hand with a handkerchief. 1 hat*is an old trick of his." said the frateman to a Leader reporter who was standing- near by. "lie will meander up to his victim in a most innocent manner and play about his feet. Nine out of every t.-n persons will take this bait and 1k bitten by Tom. I do not ltclieve that he uses his claws and teeth out of ugliness, but for sport. Notwithstanding all this. Tom is liked by cverv ]tersoii working in the depot No matter how well we become acquainted witll him. however, he can never be trusted. Some t.'iine ujr.i 1 Hattered p.iyn-lf that Tom was my friend, but one day 1 awakened to the true nature of his friendship, when 1 -ot. a badlv scratehed hand." "Who owns him'.-1"a-sked the reporter. "'1 hat is a question open t*t discussion." replied the ffateman. "W. ,1. Alters, the proprietor of the diningroom, claims him, as: does also a lady living on Prospect street. The cat came to tlic depot several years ai-o. and ."Mr. Akers claimed him from thetirst. However, about a month after his comingtlic Prospect street lady happened to be at the depot one day. and when she espied the cat sj.e screamed in a ladylike manner a::.l claimed that he belonged to her and had run awav from home. gallantly waived ourclaiinsof ownership, but Tom, while showing si^rns of recognition, would not fjo with the lady, lie is very intelligent, and knows to a minute the time of tin- arrival of the trains bearimr mill lie i.s always (riven a lai-^-e allowance of the milk, and it disappears in a remarkably .short space of time. He will not eat meat hut loves bananas, and will ln*^ for the fruit at the lunch counter for hours at a time. Occasionally Tom jumps inUta bair-jra'trp or mail car, and when it leaves the depot he:'remains"on hoard and we do not see l'.im a.-,'ain until it returns On one occasion lie was left by mistake at the depot int ineiima! i. but was there ail safe and sound two days later when the same ,rWas started a rain for this ei:y." -f ,\t this point Tom came purring up to the reporter and invited a caress. He st'euh'd Sfi i^i'ntie that the newspaper man stroked the fur on his back, but a moment later regret ted it. and since has been nursing a sore tinker.

A BIRCH-BARK PARTY

Here's a Chum-e lur Sniuet liltifj New lit tile I'iellic I.inc. Thero wvro tliirty pursts it this novel picnic, says the Now York Krcordtfr, am! \\w invitati»us woiv written on squares of birch irk. Each one added to tlu» dres.s some birch bark decoration: belts, collars, ouffs and bracelets, stitched witli colored silk, were among the many articles worn, and ono girl had a hat of birch bark which was exceedingly pretty.

The table us hud with a white cloth, but there was a central square of silvery birch bark, and a smaller one at each end. All the viands were served upon dishes of birch bark. Some of these were carefully made and sewed with bright-colored silks. The plates were all of bark and were bordered ivith narrow ribbons.

Canoes prettily made held flowers and fruits, and at each corner a bark basket was placed filled with ferns and gTasses. There was a souvenir for each jniest of birch bark made up in some pretty fashion, ci^ar and letter wises for the men. napkin rin^s. needle books, etc., for the women. During the afternoon some musicians made their appearance and there was a dunce in the woods, prolonged until nightfall.

A COLT WITH HORNS.

Georuhfc I'rovhlert I'tiiqu** Curd for tho Oimu Muhouin. Seriven county,

ia.t

has a genuine

curiosity in the form of a colt which carries a pair of unmistakable

x*orns

jus

on

his head, lie is now, says the .New York Journal, nearly a year old and in no way remarkable save for the horns, which luive grown with him until they are nearly afoot in length ajid as handsome a pair

any cow ever carried.

The animal is the property, or was until rccentlv, of a farmer named Kavanaugh, who has sold it to an agent of a dime museum in Boston.

ICavanaugh says the eolt came of parents differing in no way from their kind, and eau only account for tho peculiarity by the fact that tho colt's mother was severely gored by a savage cow a few days before ho was foaled. The animal has novcr attempted to use his horns, and, it is said, seems not to know that he possesses any such adornment or weapon- Tho other nniniala with which he is stabled and pastured, however, appear to recognize that thcro is something abnormal about him, and are unanimous in giving him a wide lerth, even threatening him with hoof and horn when ho ventures too oaar them.

A Bounty on Uaffc

There is a bounty on June boga in Sweden and Norway, whero the trooa suffer greatly from tho pests. In'a single Swedish province twelve, thoofiand kroner were paid for, it is fiomething like one hundred and ton millions of bugs this spring. Mftcy persons make soup of thn ud •it them, thus making their cnwli crop pay at both end*.

OUR FOREIGN POLICY.

Tho Attitude of the United StatoB Toward Other Nations.

What It ITjm Done Toward i:*tnb1Uhlnff tin* Fri*«'iliim of the Soapi—Diiuc^rouft CnlliHlonn Averted Through lVjtrr ful Negotiation*.

Ocn. C. C. Andrews, formerly American minister to Sweden, in the course of a recent oration at Stephen, in Minnesota. a new settlement near the Canadian lxiundarv. says the London Times, made the following interesting remarks upon the foreign relations of the. United Suites:

The intercourse of the United States with foreign powers forms .. chapter of exceptional interest and credit. Americans themselves do not sufficiently appreciate the honor their country is entitled t- for having establi lied the principle

of

neutrality, or the rij/ht

of

every independent nation to remain at peace while other nations are at war. This great doctrine, now universally recognized as an incontestable principle of international law, was established by the etTorts and sacrifices of the United States during three-quarters of a century. No nation has done h* much: as the United States to establish tile freedom of-the seas. In its dealings with -foreign, countries its distinctive and tra»'?*ional policy has been pacific and ji!sv.-. ar»d especially devoid if everythhig :„iu the nat.ure-of- sensation and bhister. A record of- this' sort (luring its whole history no slight ground of distinction. This record is all the. more creditable, when one considers the temptations and provocations we have had for .-va.rs.lor territorial aggrandisement,'

We liav.e had '-frequent provocations for .war Avith Spain. Mr. Kvarts. when secretary. »f state, referring to her repeated- unlawful seizures of our merchant vessels in Cuban waters and to the burdens and exactions illegally imposed on our commerce, stated it. very mildly when he declared thev had become well-nigh unbearable. The unlawi'ul seizure by Spanish authorities of the Virginias on the high

mms

and

summary execution of fifty-three persons found on board, many of them citizens of the United states, and several of them mere boys, without lawful trial, and thus directly in violation of our treaty with Spain, was. to say the least, a llagrant insult to our country, lint we scttV-d with Spain in a peaceful manner. And yet. there, still under Spanish rule, i.- Cuba, larger in territorv than the great state of Ohio, .-•apable or sustaining fifteen million inhabitants,- almost in sight of our s'« ii' a", indeed, that one can l»*ave. :.our]x.)rt ot

Key

In ISP'i ICnghind had on Lake Champlain and the live great lakes nine armed vessels with capacity for 800 guns, and the United States had twenty-five vessels with capacity for 57S guns, though not all the vessels were equipped nor afloat. Hut the existenec of armed fleets in those waters under opposing flags would have given occasion t«» dangerous collisions. That

1

same year negotiations were commenced by the United States through John ijnmey Adams, then American minister at London, for the reduction of this naval force and the practical [disarmament of the lakes. Kngland j-cordially acquiesced in tin4 proposal. ami in 1^17 an arrangement was coneluded between the two governments which limited their respective naval forces on those lakes to merely three "essels of one hundred tons.each, and each sscl to carry only one eighteenpounder gun. This benign result explains why it is that there arc no navy yards and ships of war on the great lake.s. Thus, it was at the instance of the American government that those waters were dedicated t* icaee and that dangerous occasions of collision and even of war have been avoided.

This is one of many examples where the American government has successfully endeavored broaden and strengthen the foundations of peace. I claim that the record of our country for justice and the promotion of peace in its dealings with foreign nations is glorious and calculated to inspire admiration, And when we hear enlightened foreigners speak of our country as the great republic we have reason to feel that they do not use an unmeaning expression.

A llorKP-C#r Story.

A llcrlin daily tells a story which has a local si^niliciiuce. A vounp ufllcer in a horse-car gave a young woman his seat and she took it without a "thank you." The officer stood on the rear platform. A few blocks further and the young woman stepped from the car. The officer .saluted and said: "Pardon me. madam, but you have forgotten something." The young woman hurried back into the car, but found none of her property. Site looked inquiringly at tho officer, who saluted again and said: "Oh. I meant only that you had forgotten to thank me."
