Cat Messengers.
j# It seems that tho Belgians have formed a society for the mental and moral improvement of cata. The first effort has boon to train the cat to do tho work of carrier pigeons. The most astute and scientific person would have his ideas of locality totally confused by being tied up in a meal twig and carried twenty miles from home and l»t out in a strange neighborhood in the middle of tho Might. This experiment has, however, fwen repeatedly tried upon cats of only averaco abilities, and the

calmly ignored the whole affair. This wonderful skill in travelingtlirougb unfamiliar regions, withouta guide-book or a com paw? has suggested the possibility of eats boing used us special mes-
-engers. Recently thirty-seven cats residing in tho city of Liege were taken away in bags a long distance into the •ountrv. The animals were liberated at o'clock in tlio afternoon. At 6:48 jsrutoo afternoon one of them reached I his home. His feline companions, arrived at Li ego wmcwhat later but it is mderstood that within twentv-fom m. iours oven* one had reached hia, home.

Hades where Darkness Reigns. The natives of the Marquesas Islandsaccording to an American who lias lived} among them for years, and studied their: character, customs and creed, picturoj hell as a region of profound darkness, no ray of light ever entering it except on,' arrival of a spirit from earth. By this ray the nearly condemned spirit is guided to the seat appointed for him—or it—and there he remains an impenetrable shadow until the next spirit Drings a flash of light There is no eternal punishment for the doomed. They are, however, singed on entrance, because they are then obliged to pass a huge demon, who flaps his wings and exhales fire continually. Women, it may be interesting to know, are seldom sent to the Marquesan Tophet, owing to the love (witness the customary egotism of the male animal even in Polynesia) and devotion they bey the native chiefs and priests, who (hero is gallantry) would be inconsolable without them, even in Paradise. But women are not admitted to the highest cirdes of the good place, prepared alone for men, who can, however, descend to them when they wish to enjoy feminine society. There are different places erf divine life for women, the loftiest being reserved for those who have loved and been loved most intensely in this world, and whose greatest bliss will come from the visits orthe spirits of the chiefs and priests.
Death.
It is the thought of death that is terrible, not death. Death is gentle, peaceful, painless instead of bringing suffering it brings an end of suffering. It is misery's cure. Where death is, gony is not The processes of death are
II friendly. The near aspect of death is gracious. There is a picture somewhere of a tearful face, livid and ghastly, which the beholder gares on with horror and would turn away from but for the hideous fascination that not only rivets his atlention{ but draws him closer to it.* On approaching the picture the hideousness disappears, and when directly confronted it is no longer seen the face is that of an angel. It is a picture of death, and the Object of the artist was to impress the idea that terror of death was an apprehension. Theodore Par-1 ker, whose observation of death was very large, has said he never has seen a person of anv belief, condition or expe-! rience, unwilling to die when the time came. Death is an ordinance of nature, ie directed by beneficent ends. What must be is made welcome.
Jt The Guillotine*
Since the double execution of Barf©f And Labiez says a Paris correspondent of the New York Times, public opinion .among the better classes has imperative-^ ly demanded the discontinuance of pub^ lie executions, and the adoption of the English and American
1
system. Thel
commission has reported a set of rules]
amusements of Paris.. Executions havo^ eradually become less dramatic and spectacular than of old. There was a sort of pomp, or deliberation and ceremony, about thein. Now they are hurried, rude and bald—butcheries, not sacrifices. The guillotine is set up within twenty paces of the prison, so there is no ghastly royal progress of crime in the streets. If. stands on the flag-stones, so there are no steps to climb. On a principle of sham and selfish humanity., the prisoner is left in utter ignorance of the day and hour of his doom iH even encouraged by his jailers to amuse himself and to hope for respite or pardon till the fatal morning arrives. Then, half mad with the sudden horror and despair, lie is-ac-corded a short shrift and a glass of brandy, has his haircropDed, is pinioned and marched out by genaArmes to meet his last acquaintance, M. Roche, the polite city headsman. Within twenty minutes of tho time tho man is awakened the whole thing is over. It is said that scarcely two minutes pass between -.his appearance under the archway of tho prison entrance and his being carried off to the cemetery and tho washinp down of the guillotine. Tho '.Placo la Roquotte will henceforth lose much of its ghastly character and all of its interest for Parisian roughs and roystering young swells of the Lord Tom Noddy order.
The best books ror us are not always those which the wise recommend, but often those which meet onr peculiar wants, and the natural thirst of our minds, and which therefore awaken interest and rivet thought.
Tho happiness of life is made np of minute fractions—the little, soon forgotten, charities of a kiss, a kind look, a heartfelt comnliment. in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitesimals of pleasant thought and feeling.
Pride is as lout! a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all'of a piece lut it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy ail that follow it,
Genuino neighborly love knows no distinction of persons. It is like the sun. which does not ask on what it shall shine, or what it shall warm but shines and warms by the verv laws of its own being. So there is nothing hidden from light and heat.
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win it with the utmost passion of her heart. Else it may IH»
their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than thdr own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to Ixs reproached for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which will have to 1e imposed upon her as the warm reality.
The wise man who writeth to the newspapers for information for his own behoof, encloseth a postage starOp fat a reply, and is wiHchtmed bat the fool dtscerneih not the value of a goTeftu mental adhesive plaster, and remauwth in darkness.

THE SITUATION AT CHICAGO-QORTS-CHAKOFF—G-OSS-
RYAN FIGHT.
MAYNARD'S CONFIRMATION—PRINCE LEOPOLD AND PRINCESS LOUISE
WILL WITNESS THE NOMINATION AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, III., May 30.—The Lord's was not a day of rest to the politicians in Chicago. They have acted on the theory "The better the day the better the deed," and have worked incessantly for their favorite candidates, Good Deacon Richard Smith, it is true, first went to Dr. Hall's church before fracturing the Sabbath, but his piQjis example was not generally followed.
Early in the day it was observed that the Blaine men were huddling together and touching elbows, bracing each up," as Bob llarlan called it. It was evident that from some cause or other they had lost heart, and were seeking each others' company to keep their courage up. Grant stock opened steady, and kept getting firmer and firmer, until tonight it is quite buoyant. Strange to say, the adherents of the" Silent Man seem to have grown rather indifferent to the importance of the unit rule and some of them go so far as to claim that they are just as strong without it as with it.
A good many facts, seem to bear out the statement. For instance, tho opponents of General Grant have been noisily claiming that Ex-Speaker Husted, of NewYork, would not vote for him. Well, Mr. Husted arrived here to-day, and threw cold water on this assertion by announcing that he .would support Grant. Worse than that, State Senator Woodin, also of| New York, who declared that he would not obey the instructions of the Syracuse Convention, and who sent his Blaine alternate to represent him here, has thought better of it since arriving this morning, and now saj's that he will take, his seat in the Convention and will vote for Graat as he was directed to do.
Boss McMahon, of Philadelphia, who, next to Cameron, is the most influential politician in the eastern portion of Penn sylvania, has been claiming all along that from twelve to fifteen of the Pennsylvania delegation would not vote for Grant. To-night he lowered his claim to ten, and gave the names of these. They were afterward canvassed, when it was found that two of these were half disposed to obey their State Convention's request and vote for Grant. Similar instances might be mentioned, but these suffice to show what is partly the cause of the loss of spirit Bmong the Anti-Grantit»s.
Chandler, Hale, Garfield, Frye and Moulton have, after great labor, come to a kind of an understanding as to the course that they -will pursue with reference to the unit rule.
Thejtalk of the Anti-Grant men that(Grant cannot be elected if nominated was' very effectually met to-day by the supporters of the General. Abet of $500 even was made in the Grand Pacific on his nomination, and this afternoon Col. T. C. Cambell, while being interviewed by representatives of the Chicago Times and Tribune, stated that he would bet $1,000 to $200, or the same proportion of odds
prop*
io $5,000 that General Grant will carry
O^io if nominated. No one has accepted Pinchback's offer of $10,000to $5,000 that Grant will carry Illinois if nominated. Of course an offer to bet or even a bet, does not settle or decide any thine but it docs show that the offerer or better has some faith in his opinion. The Anti-Grant men have not faith enough in theirs to back them with their money.
As each hour passes the opposition to Grant gets more bitter, and intensified, no doubt by the calm, imperturbable demeanor of his friends. His campaign is being most admirably managed, those having it in charge being the brains and impelling power of the Republican party. They make no brags, invite no discussions, and provoke no quarrels: but they are persistent and energetic, and make no false movements.
It looks as though the Convention would be two or three days in session before the balloting will begin.
WASHINGTON, May 30—The Senate doubtless will resume the consideration of Maynard's nomination as Postmaster General early in the week, and indications points to his confirmation by a sufficient majority. The opposition is led by Voorhees, of Indiana, and Beck, of Kentucky, and is based upon personal motive in each case. Voorhees has never fprgiven Maynard for having denounced him in his speeches in East Tennessee as disloyal and for having enlarged upon his connection with the Knights of the Golden Circle. With the exception of these two Senators nobody seems to be speciallyworked up about Maynard's nomination, while the fact that both the Tennessee Senators favor the confirmation would, in itself, be sufficient to insure it.
As to the probable date of final adjourn meat, now that is not to occur on the 3lst, everybody is at sen. A prominent official of the Senate is quoted as saying that Congress will not get away much before September. On the other hand, Speaker Randall will do his best to close things up by the 10th or 15th of June, and at any rate before the Cincinnati Convention, on the 22d of that month, both because he considers an early adjournment the best policy for his party, and because he wants to go to Cincinnati himself. Against this must be considered the opposition of some Democrats who always want to
spite Randall, and would like nothing better than to keep him fixed in the Speaker's chair during the Cincinnati Convention and the feeling of some of the Republicans, that as long as the Democrats are going to have a chance to fire off their campaign speeches over the Chicago result in tEe Congressional Record, the' session had beUer continue till after the Cincinnati Convention, so that they may £?et an opportunity to print and circulate Republican stump speeches at the public expense.
TORONTO. ONT.. .May 30.—Prince Leop old and Princess Louise arrived this morning and will remain until Monday, when they leave for Chicago. His Roval High ness is accompanied bv Colonel McNeil R. Collins, Controller d'Royale, and Hon. A. Yark. The Princess was accompanied by Hon. Mrs. Langham, Lady Petly and Captain Collins Equery. They are "traveling very quietly and do not receive any addresses, Leopold having requested the corporation ana people who he has visited not to afflict him, as he is in poor health.
The Royal party intended to visit Cincinnati and St. Louis, but fears of yellow fever are said to have led to a change of programme. It is possible that these unfounded fears mav be removed and the part}' j'et go to Cincinnati, If not. the Princess will return to Ottawa, and her husband, the Prince, will go on to San Francisco.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 30.—Prince Gortschakoff has bid farewell to the in habitants of St Petersburg in the follow ing terms: "It is impossible, on the eve of my departure in search, of rest and health abroad, to respond to the marks of the sympathy -Yliich I have received from every quarter during my illness. I can not,"however, lcave"St. Petersburg without telling all who have given lue these proofs of their affectionate interest how much and how deeply I have been touched by them, and without expressing my cordial gratitude."
Goss-IIyati Prize Figlil.
PITTSBURG, May 30.—Tlie^ proposed fight between Goss and Ryan in the absorbing topic among the .sporting fraternity, though exactly where the battle will take place is not known. Tracy, trainer of Goss, arrived in town to-day, and stated that the men would fight within fifty miles of this city, and that the laws of this State would not be violated. It will, therefore, likely be fought in West Virginia, where the code relative to the prize ring is not so strict.
Paddy'Ryan continues in active train ing. It has been broadly asserted he had no desire to meet Goss. He indignantly denies this, however, and sa}-s Goss lias on every occasion shrunk away from a meeting, and he does not believe he will come to time.
There is good authority for the statement that the fight will not take place before Tuesday.

AVILLA, May 30.—Quite a destructive tornado passed through this place at nine o'clock this morning, destroying barns, fences and all light buildings in its path. It was not more than fifteen j'ards in width. A large plank was blown through the dwelling-house of Joseph Haines, wrecking nearly all of its contents. No one injured.
Fort Wayne.
FORT WAYNE, May 30,—Late last night the body of Jackson Smithcrs, aged twenty-five, was found on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad track, two miles from this city. It was shockingly mutilated. It is supposed that Smithers was walking along the track in an intoxicated condition when he was run over by a frcigh train,
Elkhart.
ELKHART, IND., May 80.—Geo. Smith, who was arrested a few days ago for having in his possession several stolen-arti-cles, appeared before Jnstiee Hutchinson yesterday. There were five charges of burglary against him. In default of $500 bail he was sent to jail. For some time past this city has been greatly annoyed by thieves. Several times large sums of money and clothing and other tilings have been stolen. A search was made of Smith's house and considerable plunder found, together with an outfit of burglar's tools. Theic will be at least twenty charges preferred against Smith by. the Grand Jury. It is thought he has done all the thieving of late here.
.Kuncle.
MUNCIE, IND., May 30.—Through private entelligence, the Commercial correspondent this evening was advised of a sensation occuring at Eaton, a small vil lage ten miles north of here, on the Fort Wayne and Muncie Railroad. In' the early part of last week an old gentleman, unknown to any of the inhabitanss, arrived there, and stated that he wanted to purchase a farm. Several farms were shown him. He contracted for two eighty-acre farms. He said he would meet the owners at Muncic on Friday, pay them, and receive the deed. Thursday the old man mysteriously disappeared. It is known that he did not leave Eaton in any public conveyance, nor walk away. The inhabitants t^ink that he has been foully dealt with for the sake of his money, having had consider able with him.
Thursday night some horses were stolen from the neighborhood, ridden hard a few miles and deserted, the thieves retreating to a dense woods. Some think the thieves murdered the old stranger, secreted the body and were escaping when they took the horses.
Some bad people live in that vicinity. A few years ago a young lady was killed while under going abortion in Eaton, the body was buried In a swamp, and a few weess afterward fished out Possibly this is a parallel case.
