The cat, by an naee,;,lent, irk-lfred one of its legs. The owner of that zuembier wound about it a rag soaked in oil. The cat, going too near the fire, net the rag on fire, an-l being in great pain, rushed in among the cotton Iales where Ath 1 was accustomed to hunt rats. The cotton thereiv took fire and was burned. It was a tt:al lass. The three other p:rt;iers brought an action to recn'over the value of the cotton against the fourth partner who owned the particular leg cf the cat. The judge examined the cast- and decided thus: "The leg that had the oil-rag on it was hurt; the cat could not use that leg-in fact. it held up that leg and ran with the other' three legs. The three unhurt legs therefore earried the fire to the cotton, andl are alone culpable. The injured leg is not to blame. The three partners who owned the three legs with which the cat ran to the cotton will pay the whole value of the bales to the partner who was proprietor of the injured leg."-La. Review. Nothing in the Paper. The following spic.y chapter, of the subject of newspapers, we clip from an exchange, eiicited, no doubt, by t the too freqluent remarks of the in- 1 different reader, after perusing the news of the day, that "there's nothing in the paper:" And mon are always grumbling about their papers, :and insinuating I how much better they could do it. They talk as flippantly about "fine articles" on every imaginable subject as if they could effect such a change. I Let some of tles over-running phi losophers try it for one hundred and fifty days in sue,:ossion. And then they think it is nothing to select for a newspaper; you have i merely to run the sciTsors through a half dozen exchanges, and you have a got matter enough. Now, this is the most important and the most difficult department to fill on a newspaper. Very few men have the slightest idea how to do the werk. It requires a thorough newspaper man, who knows the public appetite well, who knows what is going on in the world, who knows how to write and pack a col umn into a dozen lines. Men who skim a newspaper and toss it aside, little reflect how much brains and toil have been expended in serving up the meal. Busy heads aed busy hands have been toiling all day to gather and prepare those viands, and some vast building has been lit from cellar to garrett, all night, to get the paper ready for the newsboy by crack of day. "'Nothing in the paper!" N'othing an your headl that's what's the matter. -Exchange. Wloear L'p The OuachitaTelegraph makes the following sensible remarks eoncernipg the borrowing of moner from loan agencies that are now opperating In almost every parish in this State: In nearly every perish in the State there are loan agents.

The railroad companies think they have hit upon a plan to prevent ex press robberies, and one which is so simple the wonder is that it was not thought of before. All the cars are being supplied with stationary safes with combination locks, the combina tion of which is unknown to the mes senger. When money is shipped a representative of the company will go to the train, deposit the money or raluables, check it with the messenger and secure the safe. When the train reaches another point a representa tive acquainted with the combination visits the car and ascertoins from the messenger if there are any valuables in the safe for that point, and so on. So, if a ear is attacked by robbers they can only get into the safe by blowing it open and thus giving the alarm, as the messenger himself knows nothing of the combination. E~xchange. Crlous arcts.
