.. o ’ i BY CLARA AUGUSTA. : The good inhabitants ‘of Carrsville wanted -a sensation. ' e For.a period -of several months nothing had happened. Nobody had died; nobody had been born; nobody had been mdre attentive than was proper to some other body’s wife, and things were thus dreadfully at a standstill., . v ; o Do you know anything about what it/ is to'reside in a place so quiet that ‘one day is just like another, andia whole ‘year may go past and not furnish ‘a single item for a local in the county paper ? » i ] - Carrsville was -just that kind ofia place. ' The last sensation—the burning of Tom.Henshaw’s wood-shed—had been a big.one. Loss, $5O. %ix hens andia speckled Cochin China rooster burned alive. One grindstone burst up and spoiled. ~ LLikéewise one hand-sled .and wheelbarrow. A pig so nearly destroyed that the bristlessen his back were scorched.. Oh, how people.did congregate to see those bristles. “For weeks and weeks afterward Tom Henz shaw’s pig was the Mecca to Whi,é:l} all wandering pilgrims bent their steps. ‘ - But time wears away everything, and Tom' Henshaw’s pig was killed and salted down respectably in an oak barrel in the cellar. Every well-known rule was observed in the slaughter, and no sensation could be-made out of that. He was killed on the “grow” of the moon, so that his pork would not shrink in cooking, and the water to seald him was impregnated with turpentine, so that his historical bristle would come off ‘easy, and he was taken out of his sty back part first, so that he'would die without squealing, and finally, after his remains were duly deposited in Tam’s cellar; a horseshoe was then nailed above the cellar door to keep away the thieyes ét;dwitches. T o

‘The story of the pig was over, and Carrsville, as I before remarked, wanted a sensation. ) e Judge, then, of the delight of the inhabitants when Prof. Van Pluck, of “‘Chicago, arrived in town and posted up handbills over all the dead walls and fences, printed in blue.ink on yellow paper, and were lettered as follows: o GREAT & NOVEL ATTRACTION. Unparalleled Success in all the Prin- © cipal Towns and Cities in the- - United States. ¥ : MAMMOTI CAT FAIR! All are invited to attend and bring their Cats with.them. . Twenty-five dollars premium to the finest Cat, never Dbefore exhibited at any fair. : . Ten dollars to second best. s - Five dollars to third best. One dollar to fourth best. | Fee. for entry, twenty-five cents in advance, : ' ' Good board for Cats at reasonable rates during the fair. = . ] ‘ All applications to be made to Prof. YVan Pluck,at Washington Hall. . J. W. B. Van Pluck, C. T. - N. B.—Nbo bob-tailed Cat admitted for premiums. 3 ' This. was something worth while, and the people congratulated themselves. J ;i : . They shook hands over it and began to scrub the smut off from their favorite tabbies. : In a country town every family has’ one cat, more frequently half a dozen, s 0 there was no lack of material to make the fair a success. ‘When the day set for the opening of the fair arrived a steady stream of people, each onebearing a bag, basket,: or bundle, containing one or more cats flowed toward Washington Hall. The bland, smiling professor. took more quarters than any negro minstrel or great moral show whieh had passed that way for years. - At last the hall was filled, arid the professor calked the audience to order. Nothing was heard but the subdued growlings and yowlings of the imprisoned cats, like “successive . peals . of muttered thunder. AT

“Ladies and “gentlemen,” said the professor, “the hour of commencement has arrived. -Walk up in order and exhibit your cats!” R : - A grand stampede from the professor’s platform was made, and in three minutes about three hundred cats, of all sizes, colors, and descriptions, were, literally, “let outiof the bags!” A moment they stood still and eyed each other; then the fur rose, tails -s_well%d into immense proportions, eyes flashed greenish. fire, and each one of these cats went for some other cat “teeth and toe nails!”. The strife was terrific. They climbed tl%e walis, the settees, the windows; they leaped across the galleries; they plunged on the ‘heads of people, and; stuck their eighteen sharp claws inlto the very skulls of the poor unfortunate Carrsvillites..- 5 The spitting and me-you-mo were enough to make the blood. of a grindstone run cold. = £ Just as the battle was at its height, Jim Foster entered with his big-bull dog, Watchman. Watchman had been the terror of the vicinity for a long time, and Jim had been heard to declare that he would break up “that pesky cat fair” in short order. Evidently Jim had come for that purpose. S : © “S—ss! S—ss! take ’em Watch!” he cried, and the dog leaped valiantly

f ‘‘lnto the jaws of death, s Into the mouth of hel).” but unlike the troop Tennyson had in his mind, Watch never leaped “back again.” To use an expressive phrase, which everybody will understand, he was gobbled! : A hundred cats pitched into him, a hundred more:stood back as a reinforcement, and lashed their tails and growled—keeping themselves in fighting order. by tearing mouthfuls of flesh and hair from the cats nearest to them. ~The fray was short and decisive. Jim Foster swore a series of double-barreled oaths, and laid arpund him with his thick boots, but the cats were masters of the situation, and assailed Jim so ferociougly that in a few minutes his face looked like a map of the northern part of the State of Maine, with)all those lakes and rivers with unpronounceable names laid out in red. ’ : The women, whose dear, sweet pets ‘were in the fight, were frantic. Betsey Jane Pringle had two darlings in danger, and old Squire Pentecost had thrde, . - e , ; Betsey s%n'ang forward and seized upoun her Thomas Theopholis just as the Squire’s Victoria Adelaide had fastened to his neck: She struck at i Victoria with her parasol--the Squire gtruck at Thomas with his cane! They followed it up.

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1875.

- “Let go of my cat, you old partar termagant!” cried the Squire, striking’ vigorously with his cane, which missed the mark and hit Sam Golding’s shins instead. Sam was a person of color, and this handlifig with his shins was too much. ¢ “By golly!” cried he, “dat’s more’n dis chile swollers!” and he squared himself for a fight and struck out from the shoulder. - The Squire dodged, lost his footing, and stumbled against the door, which flew open.. £ Somebody at the lother end of the hall yelled “Sca-a-a-t!” i . The effect was magical. In two minutes the cats had vanished, in spite of the frantic efforts’of their owners to seize them as they flew by! .

" _The hall floor was strewn with fur and, toe ‘nails, and what was Teft of Jim Foster’s ill-starred Watchman. They identified his remains by the brass colar bearing his name, which was found in their vicinity. . ; The trees for miles around were full of cats. . The'roofs of the houses were ornamented by cat statuary. 9 All day their distracted owners were employed in dangling tempting pieces of meat in the air and calling, imploringly: ; o “Kitty, kitty, kitty! Come, Kkitty, come!” : 1 But very few of the cats responded. Their tempers, backs and bodies were -all up, and there they remaiged. . Jim Foster brought out his rifle that night and hunted cats. - That he met with some success may -be inferred from the fact that he sold ten cat-skin sleigh-robes the following winter. o i o As for Prof. Van Pluck, ¢.

S ‘ “Well, ’Squiah, has you got a cook | named Eliza Jane, oh, ah, : Eliza Jane, Eliza Jane, Eliza Jane, As sweet, as sweet, as sweet as sugar cane” . i s And ‘as he sang he waltzed, to the amazement of the Squire, whose anger began to show itself through his then red face. And before he spoke, Tobe said: L i . “Does you like that cook, sah ?” - “What is that to you, fellow ? She’s been my faithful seryvant for 6 years,” answered the Squirel : “Just soo, sah; but you ain’t seed her dese seberal days, has you?” , © ' “No, I have not; has anything happened to-her?” -~ T : “Yah! yah! 1 guess I'll go,” remarked Tobe edging toward the doer. - “Hold'on, I say; what’s happened to Eliza Jane?

Call yourself my son-in-law! Get out, you black villain!” and the Squire gently tapped Tobe’s head with a ball bat,the ‘black porter simply grinning as he danced-out, singing, : ‘ Nigger nebber die, " Nigger nebber die, : He choke on chicken pie, : Gone to marry de cook.

A Place {Where a-Woman Washes Once Only in Her Lite. "

Those of our readers who have traveled in Spain liave certainly remarked the dirty: stripes on the necks of the lovely senoras; no devout Spanish woman dares to bathe without the permission of her confessor. This aversion to cleanliness has come forward from the time of the anchorites Sabinus, Pachomins, Besarion, and other saints of the desert, and indeed whole sects of that epoch condemned all ablutions as. heathenish, and were lauded because they wore their clothes so long they rotted to pieces and fell off them, or because their skin became as “pumicestone” from the crust of dirt on it. = The superstition that cleansing the body soils the soul exists to this day among the women of those christian nations who havelong carried on conflicts with the Mohammedans, on whom the Koran enjoins frequent ablutions. A female Bulgarian is permitted to wash only ence in her life—on the day before the wedding; and in most South Sclavonian families the girls are rarely allowed to bathe, the women never. I recall with a shudder the interior of the Montenegrin huts. When a woman offered me wine- she’' always dipped ‘her fingers into it, the same fingers which had just been éngaged in the chase on her children’s head, or which had been gently scratehing the pig, the pet of the family, which is always addressed by endearing names. The adults squat or lie down, the children tumble about in the filth which covers the floor of the hut, and many women are blear-eyed in consequence of the creosote caused by tlie smoke, which cah only escape through the door. The Princess Milena, as I have said, forms an exception.—Spizza Cor. London Standard. .

The Multiplication of Diseases.

Diseases multiply. One begets another. A trifling indisposition may, therefore, originate a complication of dangerous maladies. Indigestion begets far more formidable diseases; a multitude of ailments are traceable to constipation ; fever and ague unhinges the entire nervous system, and is therefore the source of -the protean ailments which affect that portion of the 'human organism. Hostetter’s Stomach jßitters, however, whether rtesorted to at the inception of those disorders of the stomach, bowels or liver, which géve birth to the majority of diseases and disabilities, or taken when they have ripened into formidable maturity, are alike powerful to cure. The process of recovery is, of course, longer when the malady has gained headway, but it is none the less certain. Dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, kidnéy complaint and intermittent fever, invariably yield to the operation of the great alterative and invigorant. =~ = n-10-w5.

THE GREAT FLOOD ON THE ‘TEXAN COAST. - | 5 { g g ; (% 7 4 | { Number of Lives Lost Now Placed at . Four Hundred, ' ‘A DESOLATE SCENE. - " GALVESTON, Sept. 21.—1 n Galvestonh, the scene on Sunday morning was one that almost beggared description, the streets in sonie parts of the city being filled with sand, rubbish, fences, trees¢ cisterns and broken' furniture, and amidst all were hundreds of people who 'had been drowned out or driven from their Homes by the flood, searching for the remnants of their household goods; ‘'some searching even for their houses, which, in some instances, had been washed blocks away, and some being found upon the beach, half buried in the sand. Thése sufferers generally were of the poorer classes, and %will feel the loss: keenly, as the future presents but poor prospects for them. Scarcely a tree remains standing in the city, and the shrubbery, in all except the highest 'yards and gardens, was swept away, as was also everything in the shape of vegetables, the gardens being filled with sand. A. freak of the storm at. Galveston City was to cut a channel through in from the gulf to the bay, some seventy feet in width at the bay and,double that at the gulf, through which luggers found ‘a sufficient depth of water to pass.t The storm extended the entire length of the coast, from Galveston east, and westward to Tndipnola, A distance of about 200 miles. “The estimated loss of property in Galveston will reach over $4,000,000. The harbor presented a sad'spectacle; and one which could’ in nowise be realized without personal observation. Small craft of every description were beached, while many were capsized by .the gale, and laid bottom up, others being buried in the sand, their masts above indieating their location.

© . Additional Particulars. . " Parties who have arrived from lA-‘— dianola, and who. were there during the terrible -cycione, confirm even the most sensational report of the devastation of life and property there. Out of 300 houses, ‘only five are left standing. During Thursday night, when the storm was at its height, the water rose over six feet in two hours, the wind blowing at the rate of 88 -miles an hour, driving the water and breakers through the citv at the rate of 15 miles an hour, sweeping everything in its way, and covering the plain in.the rear of the city for 10 miles to a depth of 7 feet. Several small settlements, numbering a total population of 150; were also -swept out of existence, making with the persons who were'lost at Indianola, a total of 400 lives lost. . L S :

The gentlemen conveying this information give the most harrowing account of the destieltion of the~uarvivors. When the* lett Indianola, on’ Monday afternoon, ninety bedies had been recovered. The stench in the city from the putrefaction of these dead, with the stench from the dead animals, was most intolerable, It w&s also stated that a party of Mexicans, on Sunday, began robbing the dead bodies that had been washed, to'the plain, from four to six’ miles back of the city, the ' scoundrels chopping the fingers, hands, and ‘ears from the men and women to obtain their jewelry. . As soon as this was heard of in the city a party of citizens went out and killed five Mexicans whom. they caught at their devilish work. Christian’s Point was entirely savept away by the late stormi. - The United States revenue cutter lying at Valasco capsized, and was carried to sea, having, as supposed, been abandoned by the ‘erew. : ; -

“Three men, survivors-of the I ndianola disaster, confirm . to the fulldst extent the report of the storm there, anhd give a harrowing Meccount of the destruetion of life and property. They report also three setflements near Indianola, numbering 125 souls, entirely ‘washed away. = v From all information, we gather that tlre storm or cyclone appears to have taken in its course a belt of country some 40 miles in width, from the north of Galveston Island, extending to the north of Houston. The hurricane swept over. this entire section of the coast to the west of Indianola, into the Gulf. ‘Galveston was to the south of the more severe part of the gale. - . Information received from East Bernard county states that the entire section is under water. i

From Brazoria county, we learn that the town of Velasco is entirely swept away, and not a houseis left to indicate . where it stood. Not a life was lost, and 173 persons,. among them Judge Gus Cook, of the Criminal Court, and family, Were miraculously saved in the following manner: When ‘ the storm had raged for some time, ‘ the surging sea had entirely surrounded their place, and the billows began toinvade the houses. The entire pop~ ulation” were huddled in ‘the upper apartments of the largest building in town, but when it was seen that the sea and storm were about to sweep it away, the men, who were up to their necks in water, with thé aid of a small boat, got off the women into a schooner and got aboard themselves. Among them' was Col. Cook; hé lashed the vessel first to one tree and then to another .as they were pulled up by the roots, and thus rode out the storm. The house from which they. escaped was swept off shortly after they left it, with eight mules, On the land gide of Velasco, the sea whas 5 feet deep during the storm, . The large steamer Australia is stranded in the mouth of tho East of water. She rescued all the inhabitantg of the town of Bernard except .

The Lower Brazos country is reported as almost totally destroyed; sugarhouses blown away, and plantations wrecked, e

~ In the different lakes and bays on the coast the wa&(had';isen during the storm to'an unprecedented height, flooding the marshes and swamps, and covering many ‘places, drowning scores of cattle, mules, and hogs, and devastating the country generally. fMany of the most prominent buildings ‘at Houston suffered severely, including the Koehler Building, Concrete Building, Gray’s Building, and all the houses and warehouses along the banks of the bayou. Both of the compresses are destroyed. -At the Great Northern Railroad’ depot, on the- bayou, only the roof of box cars was in sight. The roof was blown off the residence of Henry Fox, and the wall of Dr. Elliott’s.drug store bl'&Wu down. A great deal of other damage was done, which we have not room-to detail. | L

At Harrisburg a scene of desolation was presented that défies description. Theé bayou had risen over 30 feet, the overflow extending as far as the hotel near the depot. The beet packery was leveled with the ground, and gardens and fields filled with debris.

All the ‘houses at Green’s Bayou ‘were undér water, and immense loss in stock .is reported. The same con-

dition existed at Dr. Massie’s place, where the =bayou';jyas 34 inches higher than at the time of thé great flood of 1854. . - B o

At Lynchburg nothing is left standing except Lemel’s mill. Thesteamer Lizzie and four barges were blown 'partially out’on the bank. Capt. Bells of the Matamoras, succeeded in saving twenty-seven persons, taking most of “them from the topsof trees and off of drift logs. * v . At Bay Town there was one dwelling and one -storehouse. Both were washed away. The owner, Mr. West, and. his wife“got on the roof of the dwelling and were taken off safely at Morgan’s Point. o At ‘Hog Island there were three dwellings and one warehouse.- These were all washed away. . A gentleman over from 'JCamp,bell’s Bayou reports the coast from Virginia Point northward covered with small craft, some of them out in the prairie as far as two miles from the shore.

Capt. Smith states something which appears incredible, but being “witnessed by-his whole crew, we will tell it, though no one doubts the Captain’s word. It is that he witnessed some half a dozen islands, eight or ten acres in extent, moved long distances from their former resting-plaees.. - . { - e — J ‘ .

° . Letter From Elkhart. : ELKHART, IND., Sept. 20, 1875. ' To the Editor of The National Banner: - Lok Having noticed your repeated invitations to the numerous friends of THE BANNER to contribiite to the columns of your valuable paper, from time to time, such items of interest as may come under their notice, I take advantage of the invitation by sending you a few squibs from this place. . . : Our schools are in session and are progressing finely. Thé center school, of which I am a_daily attendant, is under the supervision of an able.and competent corps of teachers and bids fair to become one' of the best ‘in Northern Indiana. Overcoats and gloves are very much .in demand these chilly mornings, and fires in 'the din'ing-roonj don’t come amiss. L b Elkhart is making prepargtions for the erection of a new engine liouse, and a calaboose on the corner of High and Second streets. I noticed in your last week’s issue ‘the announcement of the marriage of Ferd. Sandrock. I say, Bully for Ferd! He is a good fellow, and no doubt mneeds a wife. Long and happy may their lives be. & ' _ . Still the men are determined to follow the latest styles. I notice there is some talk of introducing “tied back” trousers. Bt On Saturday evening, Sept. 20th, a twelve-year-old daughter of George Colburn, of this place, was burned so’ severely that she died, ‘the following morning from the effect of her injuries. It seems some one was burning weeds or straw, and while the girl was watching the flames a bunch of burning straw dropped behind her so near as to set her clothes on fire., - ‘The remains of Col. Curtiss, of Petosky, Mich., were brought- here on Saturday of last week and on Sunday . wereinterred in the Elkhart Cemetery. The funeral took place at the residence of B. D.Sherwood and was largely attended. . The Rev. Mr. Warburton conducted the services. The soldiers of the late war,~the Silver Cornet Band and the meriibers of the Fire Department, with. which the deceased was once connected, followed his'remains to their last resting place. . o e

. Hawpatch Squibs. 4 : [Received too late for last week’s issue 3 . EDITOR BANNER:—I will _again attempt to write a few items for: our ever welcome home paper. At present we farmers are very busy seeding, cutting up corn, digging potatoes, etc.

‘We had hard work to save our wheat erop in this locality, and now get docked twenty cents a bushel in the market, which causes us to feel rather dissatigfied.. There is certainly no great fortune in raising wheat at 90 cents a‘bushel. Our corn is damaged: considerably. Jack Frost came round a little too soon for it to ripen well. Potatoes are a good crop, but it will scarcely pay to handle them for the small pittance offered for them in our home market. In view of these things, we feel very much like mak,_irig’a “strike” for liighex_‘ wages, but then we do n’t know just where to hit. - It has often.been said that farmers are the most independent class of people. in the world. I do n’t believe the doctrine, for the merchant and the mechanic put their own’ prices on what they have to sell, and when the farmer takes his produce to market they insist upon putting their own figures onthubalsen v o : There has. been considerable said on the Sabbath question lately, but not to the right point, in our opinion. Better teach men how to' keep the. Sabbath Day sacred. Get them to keep one day' in ‘seven as the good Lord required it"to be kept, whether it be the first or the seventh, and then a good work will have been acecomplished. = ~ ’ Tom, ..

L d sCheist Killer. o 0 (- In a’ neighboring town, not long since,-a little girl of Hebrew parentage, ou returning home from scheol, said: “Father, what is the meaning of ‘Christ killer?’ ” “Why do you ask, | my daughter ?” answered the-parent.. “Because, while one of the little girls was angry with me to-day, she ‘called. me a little ‘Christ kjlter?” @ - ..~ . It is needless to say to the reader that volumes are embraced in that incident. . It illustrates,; in tonesunmistakeable the impudence and injustice. of thousands- in this land of -civil religious liberty. It illustrates the blindness of - that ignerance whieh fails to realize/the true character and true - history. of the Hebrew people: It igriores the light of history. Omitting -all allusion to the'grand tenets: of Christianity, in which we are humble but sincere believers, it sinks Into the oblivion of " prejudiced ignorance ‘of the grand truths of Hebrew history for 1,785 . years. It fails. to grapple with ‘the sublime truth that .to the: Jewish ' race, more than any source, we are. indebted fot the' preservation of -history, learning and letters during the centuries of the dark ages—that -to that. race: in Spain, through hundred of years, civilizaticn owes its--‘préservation, and the countries of Europe debts of gratitude mountains ‘high in the long Toad from barbarism to wealth, elegance and refinement. It spits upon' the fact' that Jewish beggars and Jewish drunkards areas rare as diamonds. It refuses toknow that Jewish poor never, in any coun‘try upon earth, become a charge to the public. -It forgets that for eighteen hundred and” seventy-five years the Jews™ have, with rare exceptions, beena proscribed and persecuted race to the ends of:'the earth, and yet that to-day they are law-givers in the most enlightened, prosperous and liberal countries in the world. It refuses to acknowledge that the Jews have all this time been the friends of humanity, the’patrons of learning; of science, of commerce, and of liberty, Despite the: jibes and flings of unthinking men, women and children; no Hebréew has any' cause to hang his head in shame by a fair comparison with any other race. “A mation without a country,” they have done as much, the world over, as any other nation-to break :down the: battlements of hate and spread over the world the spirit of peaceful intercourse and true humanity. The American Mason of today- may go to any Masonic lodge in the uttermost parts of the earth, and enter the portals of tliat great embodiment of benevolence, and there, as a friend and brother, tried and true, he will find the Jew. 'These thoughts rushed .upon us on hearing the ineident dbove related, and we felt the blush of sorrow . tingle our cheek, 1t is sad to realize that at this age mere. thoughtless prejudice is allowed to swaythe judgments of our children in matters so sternly appealing to our sense of justice and knowledge.

- - Apparently the Khedive of Egypt.is ‘enamored with the confeéderate warriors of the United States.

‘CIHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS has been moved to write a letter-to-a friend in ‘Brooklyn. in which he admits that lis choice for the Presidency. by the: people would be very grateful to him, but at the same time he. declares.that the work he has undertaken.will engage the remainder of his lifé. He therefore declines ~the ‘honor Ly anticipation. There is not much likelihood that Mr, Adams will go into politics next year and the agitation of ‘his' name in that connection is superfluous.” Mr. Adams is 'a ‘man of sterling. .worth and of great ability .as a statesman. Descended from an old and honorable family which has given to the country two of its Presidents, he is already a part of history. ‘The failure of the Cineinnati eonvention to nonminate Mr. Adams in 1872 has doubtless assisted him in making: up his mind not to let his name be used a second time.

No Preferences "for Religious De- - I . mominations. G ‘The Cincinnati Enquirer repudiates the nominations of the somewhat notorious Geghan at the late Democratic Convention of Hamilton county, Ohio. It refuses to support him because his nomination was theresult of a proseriptive and religious' spirit in the Convention similar to that which characterizes the conduct of" the eampaign Qﬁl the part of thé Republican party in Ohio. The Enguiper is right.. The Democratic* pai'i%v . gives preference to no religious. denomination of people, encourages no sectarian sirife of -religious bigotry, . and consequently must show its un- . qualified disapproval of the religious * fanaticism which ‘pushes aman_ for-, « ward because of hig religious prefer- ! ences.
