VTIID BEASTS AS PKOTECTOK. , t towed up to the mouth of little jUvcr, UwJ my skltf to the root of it tre and walked (Jowly toward" a grove of oaks, in which there U a email, whito-wanhod cabin, where Uvea the pluckiest little woman in Louisiana. When I reached the gate and saw three a fine upeelniens of wll.l rut a I ever saw in the Zoo aittlnif in a row on the nter, and eyeing me with a "cotie-in-lf-you. dare" expreiwlou, my bump of brav ery became almost flat, but my de termination bump puffinl up 10 m rwcue, and steadying my voice 1 called loudly. Mr. Ueiwon immedi ately apieared at the door, and see lnir my anxloiu face iM-ering through the fence, she fixed her gaze on the anlmaU and pointing to the end of the gallery, said firmly : "March, Uiy, down, quiet Then turnlug to me, she mid, with a smile: "Lift the gate a wee bit, It hang heavy in wet weather, and come right in. Ix.n't be atraul. They are harmless a kittens when I apeak to them. Now take tld chair, It'a the easlerit in the houv. Here's " a fun, not very pretty, but give arntul wind. Won't von take off r - - your hat and cool your head while you're rtlng? Ah, there are the bable. How like young kittens they are, only more shy. They play ao all dav. but the mother know you're a stranger, and belnjj aus picious, 1 too much concerned about the safety of her Jealously guarded children to take part a she usually doe in their sjiort. 8 how she watches you. Jxu't l.-t it make you nervous. She la only afraid, that's all. I am the only one they know well, and they don't care to see any one else here. I like to watch them playing, and you have no idea how much company they are to me. Queer taste. Well, I don't know. Many eople think so, but it d-mnu't sewn queer to me. Vou see, thla ia how it came about, how I came to be Jokingly called 'the Wildcat Farmer.' "One day during the summer of I went down to Cypress Orovo, as I Lad been doing for several weeks, to take my husband' dinner. When the weather was favorable 1 carried our bnhy, and then I'd stay and have a long chat with Hani, and take my time about getting home. Hut when I thought It udwI to take baby out, why, I'd lock up the house, hurry to the grove and back again, bclug afraid to leave him alone too long. On the day of which I apeak the sun was terribly hot, with not a particle of breeze. I didn't dare take him out at that time of day, and I was afraid to leave him in a close room without any fresh air. 1 opened one window half way, and tied it ao, kissed my aleeplng boy, locked the door and hastened on my way with Barn's dinner. My husband was in very poor health, but that day waa lu auch excellent iplrits that it cheered me greatly, and I came home sing ing at the top of my voice. "As I entered our gate such a cream a few hear during a lifetime rent the air, followed in quick suc cession by three others equally ter rible. In one second I located the direction from whence the sound came, and then It was my turn to cream, but I couldn't. I had no voice to scream with. I had no breath hardly. I was cold and par alyzed from head to foot. In one corner of the yard was the sight that nearly froze my blood. There waa a strange ferocious looking animal with my baby ; the skirt of hU dress was in his mouth, while the little fellow dangled in the air. I had seen mauy of them since living so Hear the woods, but this one was unusually large. Kvery time the animal would take a step forward as though ho intended going off with the batty, the rat would glide up against him, lash lib) tall, crook his neck a certain fighting attitude of theirs and look as if he Intended killing him that second. And each time the animal screamed tearfully. The cat invariably barred hi way. Why he did so I don't know, unless he was Jealous of his prize and de termined to . share it. I could ac count fur his actions iu no other way. I was certain they were going to fight over the bnhy. "Something hail to be done, and done quickly, or I would sue my child torn In two and eaten. The thought made me as wild as were the animals, almost. I rushed in the house, grabbed the shotgun and, trembling like a leaf and praying with every breath, fired through the window at the animal that had my babe. My aim was unsteady and 1 only maimed him. It had the ide al red effect, though, for he limped off a rapidly as ho could, the wildcat at full tilt after him, pouncing on him every second, bltlug and scratching him, and the babe was dropped on the ground, in a momuut the babe was safe In my arms and I iu a fit of hysterica. The two animal were Just outside the yard and fighting in a way to make one'a flesh creep. Their cries became faint and then I did not hear them again. I hugged luy boy and trembled the rest of the day. My nerves were completely nattered over the exciU-nMwt. Kv ery moment I would draw my baby closer In my arms and promise never to leave him again. Ami I never did. "When Sam came borne be ex amined the trails. He knew tho? of the wildcat at once, but the other ha had never seen before. The feet were aa long as a cat's, but he did not know Just what animal it was, dot ever had an opportunity of flnd- ing out, for the animal did not call again. "The next morning, about 9 o'clock, what ahould I see walking around but the aame wildcat aa nau saved the baby the day before ? He was very bloody, and besides looking a If, he had been In a terrific fight, appeared to be half-starved. I was not .mistaken. I knew It was the same cat, and while his intentions might have been the same as those of the other animal, I felt grateful to hi in for savin mv child. Hut for hi reiieatedly barring the way, which prevented his getting out of the yard before I came, both would have been gone and we'd never have known the fate of our Uibe. The thing looked o badly I felt sorry for him aud tossed a bono out of the window. He went for it aud was gone in a minute, and the next morning ,he cume back for another bi.ne, which I gave him, with a few other scraps from the kitchen. "He came without fail every morning about the same time, ate the small pieces of bread and meat and carried the bone away with bim. He came so regularly that 1 pre pared his breakfast early, put it in a plate mid set Jt near the fence where lie came in, and then I d watch for him. Hi morning calls lasted for about two weeks, w hen one morning, to my surprise, I saw him come out of the hollow tree in the corner ol our yard. His Impudence frightened me a little and amused me also. He came out, ate his breakfast, or a part of it, and then made several trips hack to the tree, taking something in his mouth each time. Most ol the day 1 watched to nee what he was sharing his menls with, but did not see or hear anything. That night, however, after we had gone in our room, Ham looked through the window and saw the old cat and two young ones ulaying in the moonlight. "Nhe had liked the place so well she had moved her family there. Sum laughed, and said we had three boarder. He felt towards the old cat as I did, and we concluded to let them stay awhilo if they Is-haved This thev did. Not once did they do anything to cause us the least harm. They became more more gentui every day, and played over the yard like house cats. In a year the young one were as large as their mother, and the three were glossy and fat. They would run up and dowu the gallery for an hour at a time, and never pay the least attou tion.to the baby, w ho u-as then tod dling around. "Not long alter this my husband died, ami In lew than six months later our boy Joined hfa pupa. I was almost in dt?spair a to w hat i should do. On account of hi ill-health we hud managed to put by only a little for a rainy day. I bad no relatives to go to, besides I couldn't leave our home. 1 came here as a bride, our babe wa born here, a good many years of happiness were sjieut under the roof of this little cabin. In spile of the dark shadow, I felt drawn to the place. They are both buried out there under those trees, and I can't ever leave them. "I had been very successful with raising chickens and turkeys, for which there's always a ready mar ket. That Held was open to me as a means of livliliood, and I concluded to try It, my only fear being thieves, both kinds, tho two and four-legged. Hut do you know that now never a 'coon, 'possum, mink, stray rot or anything, man or beast, ever enters this yard at any time. "Tho wild cats, this old one, I've had so long, anil her two children keep tliein all away. They are bet ter by far than the Ix-st watchdog to he found, lie fore they took up their riwidonoe here and became our pet oiucthing eould he heard prowling around every night. And not only Unit, but making on" with a duck or chicken in hi mouth. Now, noth ing of the kind ever happens. They may come around, but are met or frightened away Is-fore they ever get in lu yard. And Christinas week every year 1 bring home from mar ket a Hinsll fortune from the sale of my turkeys, chickens and ducks, a nuuilier of which, beside, eggs, I disM)se .of readily nil during the year. 'Mjncfl in awhile a.lilikiil lutttk swoops down upon some un.'usNst- Jug fowl, lajt that isn't often, and Is the only thing Unit ever gets ithciid of thecal. 1 was Hiirriscd a week o by seeing my old -t had an addition to her family. It had Imsmi so long since her biitilea were loru, I did not think she'd have any more. Hut there they are, two tine little fellows, a you see. Well, three were enough, but 1 eluJI not com plain or Interfere with hit keeping the other two. I don't know what 1 should do without them. There's one .thing sure, I nauUn't live here alone, nor meet with any uvj with fowl-raising. They are une qiinled as a guard. When I left I was escorted to the gate by Mr. Hcnson and two of the cats, who walked along slowly at her feet, their tails under tiuvjl and as meek and tbx-ile as any dog I ever saw. The old cat etaid on the gal lery, still eyeing me unrtujlyas she had dune all along. Hut the nuxuent I was out of the yard she was re lieved, ami gave exnvim (hereto by leaping off the gallery anil tearing like inad over the yard, her two babies after her. A wilder romp I never saw than these five cats for the oilier Joined them a moment later enjoyed. As I pushed the kifT out and picked up the oars I glanced back at the small cabin ami smiled with admiration at the little : widow, w ho has lived for nearly five years, miles from a living person, supported herself nicely, ana her protector wildcat. WHY A PAHKOT HATED HEX. A young w oman of this city owns two parrots of widely dissimilar na tures and of contrasting appearance, oue having, to say the least, a very peculiar trait of character. This bird's name is Willie, but he would doubtless prefer to have it spelled Wilhelmina. The male members of the household call him Screech Owl, and even worse name. They want him killed; but the women of tbb household want hi life preserved. Before Willie made hi appearance the other parrot received all the at teution. He wa pretty, and he kmw it. and said so. He would show on" and take part in the conver satlons. Then, when hi mistress played on the piano and "her bi other thrummed the banjo he would throw his chest out and sing the latest song. Thl Is not exaggeration. Hut about a year ago the other par rot apettrcd on the scene. The cap tain of a ship which plies between this fsirt and Mexico brought him, and it was wondered at the time w hy he was so anxious to give him to the present owner, even thanking her for taking him. Hut It wa soon found out why the captain parted with him so readily. While none but women were around him he was quiet and docile enough, but a soon as a man made his appearauce he would rutlle hi feathers and screech loud enough to Is? heard through closed door all over the house. Then, if a man went near his cage he would nearly consume himself in the heat of hi anger and fury. He would peck vigorously at a male hand If held near him, and one time, somehow or other, he got out of his cage aud Hew furiously at the head of hi mistress' brother, who saved his eyes by holding hi arms over them. The bird kept up this attack until It fell exhausted to the floor, when it was an easy matter to return it to its cage. After this iH-ribruianee it whs decided to give the bird away, A woman friond took it to her home, but returned with it In a few days, saying that her father and brothers could not stand Its screeching. Ioath to have killed a bird which had been made a present to her, Willie's mis tress kept him in spite of her brother's exiMistulations. She wrote to the captain who brought lilu) from the Hodth, requesting an expladatlon of the por rot's 'iilinr trait, aud inquir ing If there was not a cure for It. To her letter the captain replied as follows : "New Oiu.fans, La. My Dear Young Friend : I am not surprised that you and your brothers wish to get rid of the little parrot gave you. Had I known he was such a terror, I Would not have troubled you with hiiu. 1 thought that he merely dis liked me, but I know now that he hates all men. HI nee returning here I have' found out hi story, which is a sad one. ))e and his mother were owned here by a man who was col lecting aud training bird for exhibi tion purposes. The mother wa a very bright bird and learned trick rapidly, but hIio was stubborn and often refused to act. Her owner fre quently bent her into submission, and, although your bird wa then very young, he would remonstrate with the man by avrepching and Hy ing at him, whereupon he was licked himself, one day the mother was licked so hard she died, aud the little one nearly died of sorrow. I hap pened in at that time and the trainer gave him to me, but did not then tel me his story. He screeched so while I had him that I gave him to you. As you wish to get rid of him, and as he is all right with females, why not give him to some old ladles' homer Kven if you have him killed, you w ill not ottond yours truly, CAPTAIN ." Willie Las good cause, then, for his fiery hatred l man, and out of eouipassion for him and her relative his mistress will present him loan old women's home or to a family w here there are no men In the house, Brooklyn Eagle, fcl TI I k'H BIU MEMATOKI1L HliHT. The three foremoMt men lu this jetmlorlnl rai-e are Secretary Carlisle, lov. iJ.-own and Mr. Blackburn. They are all uuu of strength, and isu li has a devoted is-rsoiial follow ing. Hut, of the throe, It Is said that Mr. Carole's rise to power Is the most notable, lie sisHesses none of the thiiracteristji Wial, $ a rule, have marki-d the men attaining eij nence in Kentucky. His address Is reserved, his tems-rameut cautious and reflective. He Indulges while spiking in no rhetorical flights. Ills publl- addresses are searched in vain Tor any tropes or flgures. He gta-s to the point at onee, ami stUks to I?. He always illuminate It, but never w ith a hat Is called a burst of eloq uence. He Is nUh ipg of a ml xer. )e is as helpless In a big crow J as a shy Stliool boy. He know nothing about the stud Uk, and never goes to the races. He coul.bj t pick out by his appearance a plug that a butcher's licy would drive to market from a company of thoroughbred In the straight line from the loin of old Islington, And yet this man, with out stump oratory, without ability to shake hand effectively in a crowd, with no liking for horseflesh, ha come to be a controlling influence In a section w here the sbjmp, the barbe- tueand the race track are picturesque factor In Hue dally life of the s?ople. The secret of his powe r? Hi friends say it is the triumph of pure intellect. He has a mind which they describe as working as swiftly and as accur ately as a machine. Ono of them said of him not long ago : "Carlisle 1 a wouder to me. He take the most difficult problem in tho rough and hand It back to you In servicea ble shape. You put in a plauk, aud take out a bucket, hooped, riveted and with a handle attached. I don't believe he can tell himself how he does It." Gov. Hrown resembles Mr. Carlisle In a certain reserve of temperament He lacks the quality of a good urfxer. Hut In power over a popular a-wem bly he Is scarcely equaled by any man in the shite. He wa an orator of reuown before he left college, and he was elected to congress before t taininir the constitutional aire. He luul to wait some time before taking his seat in tho house. The jieople have reiieatedly honored him, and while as governor l.e has made some enemies, the best iudirmeiit in the state 1 that he has Iss n clean aud courageous In his otllee, and has kept the welfare of the commonwealth constantly before hi eyes, lie is game all the way through, and the men who stand by him are thorough ly loyal to him. The sympathy aroused for Oov. Hrowu by the re mit appalling tragedy nt Uiuisville Is all the more profound for the tact that his own life has la-en a correct as that of a good woman, and hi ex ample as husliand and father ono of the very best. It Is accepted in the state as one of the crudest strokes of fate that a household so beautiful and refined should have tiecn darkened by such a calamity. Mr. Blackburn's characteristics. But if Mr. Carlisle and (lov. Hrown lack certain characteristic associated with liucces iu Kentucky politics, all of them are abuudantly exemplified in Mr. Blackburn. His admirers claim for him that he is the Ken tucky leader par excellence. He is a rattling stump speaker, one of the best of mixers, and he knows the stud-book by heart. No man at a burgoo can carry himself with a heartier manner, aud no man's de cision at the race course i received with more result. The turfmen all venerate him, and When he appears lu the judge's stand at the Lexington Hustings, wearing tho wide, white slouch hat familiar here in Washington, and surveys the crowd with a look of ap proval, that is the signal for the band to strike up with "The Old Ken tucky Home," and for the elm-ring to begin. And thi;s hum fully live minutes. Mr. Hhickburu was a sol dier, roue to the grade of captain, and bis old comrades are scattered all over the state, in past campaigns these men have boeu of good assistain'e to him, and not unlikely, it is thought, they will rally around him now In what they call see, and lie concedes, Is to lie tho flgljt (if hi lile.

Intensely Southern was the tone of the eeches delivered at Raleigh, N ('., on Monday, at the unveiling of the conedcrato monument, hut It is Worthy of poto that every sentiment wa full of loyalty to the Cnlou. The crowd that witnessed the ceremony i said to have been the largest ever known to assembled lu the state, and the demonstrations of enthusiasm were spontaneous and frequent. Af ter oration by Col.

At once the granite column, rising with Its bronze statues to u height of more than 70 feet, stood revealed. At the loot of the shaft is a haje :!l by 2u feet; at each corner of which are elec tric lamps. Hartly up the shaft stand two bronze statues, one of a con noneer, rammer in bunds and in spirited attitude. On the oposlte side I a eavalryipan, dismounted, with whIkt half drawn from its yah hard. On two other faces of the monument are circular bronze me dallions, ono hearing the sea) of North Carolina, the other that of the i'onfetb-rato fttalrti.

The legisla ture was induced o appropriate JI0 000, which was finally Incieai-d to i1,U00, and the women got the rest by suliscriptions. Mr. Muldoon, of Kentucky, designed the monument, which wa complete,! only aliout a u.outh before it dedication. N. Y. I'ot. sfFirriRlt ;Htrrisi is About the qui?.

Glasgow own and operates its tramway limn, it bclug the policy of that city neither to k-U uor givo away public franchises. Tickets at reduced prices are sold for cars running at certain hours when working people are going to and from their places of employment. Recently the purchasers of these ticket were surprised to And, printed on the back of each, a Scripture text. Nobody objected to this until the discovery wa made that no such In scriptions had been placed ou the ! higher-priced bits of pasteboard used J by the jieople to whom the saving of a few s-nnlcH a week Is not n matter of I in i m rl u )-. Immediately th.-re was a vigorous outcry. The distinc tion was Invidious, and the Implies tiou oueiriive. The luttts of labor went angrily to the city fathers for an explanation. They were told that "a certain pious geiitlemau" had bought the right to spread tho truth in tnis iecuiiur way, ana mat lie, not the corMiruliou, was responsible j for the selection of only one class of; the public on which to try the scheme. In short, the texts were advertisements; they apMred only where payment for them had been uiade, and the city would le only too glad to sell the backs of all It ticket in the same way. To prevent any further misunderstanding, the usual " Advt." Is now placed at the end of each text. This produces a sentence that reads quecrly, some times, but that Is a phase of the case nobody has yet thought It worth while to take up. N. Y. Times. A Story ef Ufm. Scott. After his retirement Hcott passed the summer of lsi;2 at Cozen's hotel, West I'oiut, where every evening a party of gentlemen adjourned to the general's sitting room for their game. Being a good player, tho hast was usually victorious-, but if he and hi partners were ever beaten, Scott's ire was mude manifest. One night it happened that the usual party were missing. What was to Is- done? The general must have his whist. There happened to Is-staying at thu hotel a Judge, who was asked to do the favor of taking the fourth hand. With some protest on his part he agreed to do it. By cut- .t r ,.J . , . , ting for partners the general and the uilge playtst together am were bi-ateu horribly lietiteii. Knowing how it irritated the general to lose the game, the judge, hs he aroe from the table, Miid in his most dignified and courtly way: "I formerly played a fairly good itine of whist, hut have Ihh-ii out of practice so long that 1 am somewhat rusty.
