Apropos of bunting and fishing, did
you ever bear of a wildcat taking pos
session ot a square bed in an inhabited
cabin ?' Such a case really occurred this
winter in this vicinity at the herd-house
of Overboil & Crouse. A Mr. Burns
had been left in charge and for several
nights, after he had retired, was disturb-
ed by a scrambling noise in the chim
ney, followed by the sight of two glar
ing, fiery eyeballs in the opposite bed ;
and when he (Burns) moved or made
a noise the low, fierce growl of some
wild animal. This kind ot thing
occurring for several nights in sticcess.
ton so discomposed Burns that ' he
finally vamoosed' the ranch, aud tor
some time the intruder' had things his
own way. With plenty of fat beef
and venison in store he must have come
to the conclusion that he had struck
comfortable quarters. John Garrison,
a miner, hearing ot the circumstance,
made his way to the herd house, deter
mined to interview the beast that had
taken pros.ession. When lie arrived
at the ranch, about 4 o'clock p. m. he
was somewaht sui prised to find the
animal in bed and disposed to fight for
the Garcelonated establishment, but at
sight of the gun the miner carried he
flew up the chimney and into the brush
Garrison hung around until dark, then
went to bed, placing his gnu where he
could reach it, and quietly waited for
Mr. Cat. About 10 o'clock he heard
a scratribling in the monstrous chimney,
followed by the sound ot stealthy foot
steps across the floor and the sight ot
the flaming eyes peering out at him
from the spare bed. .John carefully
raised his ritle, took as good aim as he
could in the gloom and darkness at the
shining orbs and fired. The report of
the rifle was followed by a short scream
of agony, then the sound of struggling
in the opposite bunk. The intrepid
hunter struck a light and there, sure
enough, was his cat, fully five feet in
length, lying in the bed, its life-blood
slowly oozins through a bullet hole in
Us breast aud bedabblinct w:th its
crimson stream the blankets on which
it had sought repose.
The Vambllna; Homes of Washington
The Washington correspondent of
the Hartford Times writes : The gam
bling houses have opened up for the
winter and expect to do a large busi
ness. , Last winter the police authori
ties raided all the gambling houses in
the city, which crippled np the buisi
ness for that season. They, however,
expect to make tip, for their' hisses this
winter. It seems kind of -traige that
they hould be so bold about it, as the
same laws are in force now that
clo.ed the bouses then. ' The gambling
business here of late years is almost
nothing to what it was some years ago,
when it was fashionable for all to rik
their money over the card table. The
establishments as nsnal set ont a mid.
night lunch for the players. This
lunch is as much attraction tor 'some as
the game. Most ot the faro banks are
situated on Pennsylvania avenue, there
being three or tour games running on
"Run Row," the name given to E
street, between Thirteenth and Four.
teenth streets. There are also a couple
of good games in the vacinity ot the
National and Metropolitan hotels,
where the greater portion ot Southern
and Western members play. Besides
tiiese, there - are a number ot small
games ran for the employes of the sev
eral Government . departments 7-There
does not appear to be any way to break
up gambling here in , the winter- time.
If the gambling bouses are closed "by
the police the games are' run in private
rooms in the hotels, where it i impos
sible for the police or others who are
not invited to gain admission, Those
who are known to be all right are fur
nished with private keys, so that they
can enter when they please, , and have
the satisfaction of knowing thai
they will not be interfered with.
The profits ot the regular established
faro banks mnt be large, for they can
afford to set out a splendid lunch every
night for all who wish to partake of it.

The Presbyterian Church at Oleau
(Pa.), according to report, has done a
very illiberal thing. It has dismissed
its pastor, Rev. Mr. Curtis, tor no other
offense than because he was found bunt
ing and fishing, and took his needed
recreation in that way. They gave him
his choice to give up his gun and rod
or to give op his pulpit ; and tie wisely
chose tho latter, for the reason, as he
said, that, like Paul, he "would not be
in subjection no, not for au hour.'
About a year ago a Brooklyn (N. Y.)
pastor was dismissed for the same of
fense. Such attempts to lord it over
their ministers, forbidding their . indul
gence in snch Innocent and healthful
sports as are allowed to laymen, are a
reproach to the churches making them
aud tend to bring religion , into con
tempt. Especially is this the case
when there are clergymen in Brooklyn,
San Francisco and many of our large
cities who have been notedly guilty of
serious offences against good morals
without forfeiting their positions or even
incurring the censure of their congre
gations.
The clergy are men, and manly
games and sports should possess an in
terest tor them as well as others. Their
occupation is largely sedentary, and
the vigor and life which such recrea
tions are calculated to impart are to them
valuable. The narrow-chested weak-
limbed aud dyspeptic pastor who neg
lects vigorous exercise and recreation in
the open air (and there are too many
ot these) id almast certain to be narrow
in his views, weak in his logic and as
cetic in his feelings.
Some of the most efficient pastors
and popular preachers havo been ex
perts with the rod aud gun. Many ' ot
our Western pioneer preachers were
good shots in the field as well as the
pulpit, and eminently successful, not
only "fishers ot men," but also ot fi.h.
Sydney Smith, as he says, was fond of
hunting, but gave it up, not from coo.
scientioiis temples or at the demands of
his parish, but because the game in his
region learned that their safest posi.
tion was in the exact range of his rifle,
Lyman Beecher was an enthusiastic
sportsman, and some of his best pulpit
illustrations were drawn from his ex
perienees in hunting and fishing. On
ope occasion, when he was to deliver a
Thursday-afternoon sermon, preparatory
to the Communion service, the ringing
of the bell found him trolling in a mead
ow a full mile away. He was a little
wet, but his extempore sermon, from the
text "I go a-fihiiig,' it is said was a
masterpiece.
The sporting proclivities of "Adiron
dack" Murray, who for ten years past
has been perhaps the most topular ot
New England preachers, are well
known, and his predecessor in tbe Park
stieet pulpit, our own Dr. Stone, in the
earlier days of his ministry, is said to
have been as fond of a good horse aud
dog, a fine yacht, and a long day's
spott in the woods or on the water, as
the most uueanctified aud profane ot
sinners. It is to be hoped,- therefore,
that tbe bad example of these proscrip.
tive churches will not be copied after,
and that physical culture will be al
lowed to go hand in hand with pastoral
care. Ex
, Col. Stolon's C'lsterH Water. :
: "I've been workiu' like allposesscd to
day," said Col. Solon last evening, as he
borrowed a pipe from the local editor
"So? What have you been doing ?"
' "My wife you see has the rheumatics,
an 'twas wash day, so she sez to me,
sez 6he, Solomon, the water in the cis
tern is out, au' I can't wash without

bad that I can't fetch it. Snffishently

tho water. An 1 brought twenty-five
pails ot water from my nabor's well au'
poured it. into that cistern, an' ; then
I pumped every blamed drop out for
washin'. Mighty hard work." k !
"Why In-the name ot common sense
didn't you pour the water iu the tubs
instead of turning it in the cistern, and
then pumping it out again?" said the
editor, i. - -,v . - ,

Gladstone will probably be the bead

One day, in 911, Notker, a monk ot
St. Gall, while watching some work
men building a bridge, at the peril of
their lives, composed a Latin anthem.
From it the solemn words in the bur
ial service of the Episcopal Church, "In
the midst of life we are in death," were
taken. The following incident recalls
the occasion ot their first utterance t
Some years ago two large ebips met
in mid-ocean, one hdaJing for Australia,
and tbe other homeward bound. The
day was fair, and the wind dying away,
the vessels were becalmed ., close to
gether. The passengers .at once busied
themselves to write letters home, and
officers and crew became occupied in
the interchange of courtesies.
The placidity of tlie weather led to a
feeling of careless security that can nev
er be safely indulged in at sea. All the
canvas was set, idly flapping against
the masts, when a 6quall struck both
ships and passed off in a few moments.
When the confusion and excitement
resulting from it was over, and the
crew of one of these vessels were able
to relax the attention demanded for
their own safety, they looked for tbe
other ship in vain.
She had gone down with all on
board! and not a vestige of her was to
be seen anywhere ou the wide sea,
which looked as serene aud beautiful as
if nothing had happened.
Hen. Hill Left In Peace.
Washington, March 26. No one
will regret to learn that the woman
w ho has held so muob of public atten
tion within the last few weeks as the
accuser ot Senator II ill ot Georgia, has
left Washington and ret : red to iter for
mer obscurity. . Her departure was
entirely unexpected and - quite sudden
to herself. , On . Wednesday night
she sat with a party ot ladies at tb?
place at which she waa stopping, and
expressed her indignation at the affida
vits Senator . Hill had filed, charging
her with threatening his life. She said
she never had any idea of shooting
him, but would remain here until she
had justice. What'she wanted was
money to support her child, but she
cares for nothing herself. ' The con
versation took place abont 8 o'clock on
Wednesday evening. On Thursday
morning t he was up early, paid her bill
and started on the half-past 7 'o'clock
train for Georgia. On Wednesday she
was entirely without funds, and even
begged a dime to pay her car fare to the
Capitol. Thursday morning when the
paid her bill, she had a large sum ot
money, and displayed , it so carelessly
that a man at the hotel told her that
she had better be careful or she would
be robbed. She was so flush that she
distributed her funds freely among the
servants at the hotel, and gave the
porter a dollar for his trouble in pur.
chasing her railroad ticket. When
asked where she got her money, the
woman replied that she had friends
enough where she could find them
Senator Hill denied to-day in l he most
positive terms that ho or any ot his
friends had paid Miss Raymond money;
but it is absolutely certain that she has
got a generous windfall from some
direction, and it is quite mysterious
from the suddenness with which it came,
The bill providing for a general
bankrupt law, introduced by Governor
CKflm, of Massachusetts, was drawn
by Judge Lowell, of the United States
Circuit Cturtfor that state. It was
prepared at the request of the Boston
board of trade, and macy merchants in
New York have shio interested them
selves in the matter. The bill was re
ferred to the judiciary committee, and
a strong effort will be made to secure
action upon it at the present session.
Petitions from nearly all sections of the
country in favor, ot a general bankrupt
law Lave been very numerous ot late,
and members are disposed to give tbe
subject attention. ! The new bill is of
very elaborate character."
