"A cat fight!" and the groceryman
held up his bands in horror, and add.
ed: "Why, I eupposod your pa and
ma got alonff epiendidl), and never
quarreled. What was it about?"
"O, you are all wrong," said Hie
boy, as he took a cold chisel and pried
ofl a few dates. "It was not that kind
of a cat fight. You see we have a don
that is ne&th on cats. He can't see a
cat anywhere but he goes after it, and
trees it on a fence, or a wood shed, or
somewhere. Pa thinks it is cunning,
and nothing I could ever say would
induce pa to break the dog of the habit
of chasing cats. He says cats are no
good, and that a good cat dog is worth
ids weightin gold to any neighborhood.
People who own cats in our neighbor
hood have got mad and throwed scald
ing water on the dog until he looks us
though he was moulting like a canary
bird, and has had one leg broken by
stones thrown by cat proprietors, and
he Came home one night with one end
of him filled with bird shot, but lie
never let up on cats, and pa encour
ages him in it. The other day pa and
me and the dog took a walk up the
street and we saw a brindle cat goiug
across the street right near where
there was a lot of tropical plants on
the bullyvard, just outside the side
walk in front of a handsome hous
l'a called the dog's attention to the
cat, and said, '( Jo for her, Tige.' Tige
went for the cat and she and the dog
went whooping into the lied of tropi
cal plants, some of them as high as a
man's head. Pa looked scared when j t ,.5. n)
iif. uog una nai went in Bmi7i igsi t""ft
iioLe. Vtuse the man thai owned? r
them was out sprinkling his lawn, and
he knew the man would be mad. l'a
called the dog, but he was busy chas
ing the cat around amongst the plants,
and it was not more than a miuutc
before the plant- were all broke down,
and the dog and the cat were having
a monkey and a parrot time. The
man who owned the cat was the first
to get there, and he owed pa a grudge.
and he asked pa what he set his do;
on mat cat ror, and pa said it was a
darn lie, and the man hit pa in the
side of his nose, and kicked the dog,
Pa leaned up against the fence to let
his nose bleed in peace, when the man
who owned the plants came up and
asked pa what he sent his dog into
those valuable plants for to retrieve
another man's cat, and pa said it was
no such a thing, he oould prove it by
me. The man asked me if my pa did
not set the dog on the cat, and as pa
had always told me not to tell a lie
under any circumstances, I told the
man that pa said, 'Go for her, Tige,'
and the man was mad, and he squirt
ed about a barrel of water onto pa,
and then got over the fence, and smote
pa on one cheek with his fist, and as
na would not turn the other cheek
alto, as he had always told me to do,
the man took pi in me necK ana turn
ed him around and gave him another
smote, and that w: s what blacked ins
eyes. l'a starlet! to run, nut 1 stayed
and saved tin dog, and promised to
pay lor the pi nt. Pa went home
and told ma I e li: d had the worst
fight that ever was, and when I came
home he asked if the two men he
whipped ImiI ! en taken to ll.o liosoit-
al. (Josh hut I was disgusted with
pa for trying to make ua lielieve he
was a hghter Jiut you 11 a dale to see
the coinino'ion and cat hair in that
bed of Ironical plants, and to have
seen how pa's countenance changed in
a mimito. He was laughing to nee
Tige go for the cat, and spatting hU
hands, but when the cat owner struck
him on the nose, be stopped being
tickled so quick his watch run down,
and his face had a woe-begone expres
sion, like a man who is short on wheat.
Pa savs there is no comfort in keeping
4 dog in a large city, and he wants me
to go to the sausage fictory ami real
ize on him. But pa don't get left, you
bet. He was down to the headquar
ters of his political party before night,
showinar bis wounds and claiming that
on bis way home from the torchlight
procession the nigut Deiore, with his
torch and helmet, he was set upon by
about fifty political opponents, who
were drunk, and nearly muraered, and
he wants the party to pay him dam
ages. I think politics teaches a good
man to tie a etar iiar, aon t you.'"
Yes," said the groceryman, as he
wiped ins bauds on a piece of brown
wrapping paper, after weighing a
mackerel, "politics injure any man
who gets into the business. JSut did
your father denounce you for not lying
him out of a scrape? Did he chide you
for telling me trutn.'"
"Well, he didn't exactly chide me,"
said the boy, "but after we got home
be tried to show me that it was not
always best to be in a hurry about tell
ing the truth. He said a person ought
to tell the truth, but be might use
some judgment about it. He said iff
had evaded the question until he had a
chance to run, and get out of the way
of the man who smote him I would
have maintained my reputation for
veracity, and at the same time saved
my pa from being knocked silly. He
told me to think it over and hereafter
not to be insuch a confounded hurry
to tell the truth. He said people were
koften placed in an embarrassing posi
tion by having too much truth goint:
an.und loose. Well, maybe pa is right,
and I will be careful hereafter, but
tellin. g the truth Is my best hold," and
the boy went out looking as near like

while sundry v'orkiugwomeu stand at

makes the welkiu ling witu cneers.
These little incidents of the average
triumphal progress are very seductive,
Perhaps they do not convince, but they
please. We recall the same triumphal
progress of Gen. Kcott perhaps the
most gratifying of any of the triumph

"Why, here, ol' fellow!" he exclaimed

"Did you not light with me at

his hand, "I am not tiistaken as to

Commercial Usr.ette.
Nkw Yokic, Sept. 25. "Why, Mis
Greolcv. what are vou doing lu tins
dirtv hole?" said Coroner Hyatt yester
dav morning, as he entered the low
shanty of Dauiel lice, in the woods on
the borders of the village of Chappa
qua. Miss Gabrielle Greeley, the only
surviving daughter of the late Horace
Greeley, was oetunug over me corpse
of a small boy, whose strange death
the Coroner had come to inquire about.
"Io not think it strange that I am
here," said Miss Greeley, with a sad
smile, as she raised her head from the
body. "This little boy is my especial
charge. I am his god-mother, and his
little sister, Kmma, there, you see
weepiug, is a devout attendant at my
Sunday School in the Kpiscopal
church."
The body lay in a rude pine box
about four feet long aud eighteen inch
es wide. It wa the only casket that
the shiftless parents could procure,
The sunken eyes, the bruised and dis
colored forehead and the look of agony
on the face told a tale of squalor eel
dom, if ever, seen in a Christian cora
munity. The little txxly which claim
ed her attention was that of b rederick
Lee, the four-year-old son of David
and Emily Ijee, who occupied the
shanty with their four children. At
the corouer's inquest, the father could
not be found, but the mother, who had
just recovered from the effects of a
protracted spree, testified that she and
lier nushand had nought a can of alco.
hol, and had been drinking heavily
since Saturday. A little ten-year-old
daughter then testified that her broth
er rreddy had fouud the can contain
ing alcohol, and drank a great deal of
it. "I saw him come down stairs,"
said the little witness, "and he was
staggering as papa does. Then he fell
.Dto my lap, and then I knew he had
been drinking. I smelled his breath
and found out. He could not speak.
I pulled him on my lap, and pretty
soon he got down and lay on the lloor
and went to sleep. He never woke up
any more. Mamma and I put him to
bed after it got dark, and he slept all
day Monday, and would not wake up.
In the afternoon ho was crazy, lie
butted his head against the wall and
had fits. He died this morning."
The jury brought in a verdict of
censure against the parents. This
evening Miss Greeley sent an under
taker to lemove the body of the dead
boy to the -Id Greeley farmbouse,
where the late Horace Greeley lived
so many years. To-morrow the funer
al will take place from Alias Greeley's
house.

An
phal progress
went on, good words and smiles and
remarks of most pleasing significance
falling upon it with the plentifulness

Then there was the triumphal pro
gross of the gallant young Pathfinder,
1 fe was not ouly gallant but sensible,
He made very good little speeches,
taking the usual care to say nothing
ami being coached by his managers
with unusual skill. He was pretty.
and the women especially showed in
every possible way that they loved
him. There is nothing in political
history that is more romautic and
more truly beautiful than that tri
umphal progress. Jtia very singular
that the hero of it should not be one
ot Mie heroes of the present oue.
It seems very strange that Gen
Scott and Gen. Fremont should have
been defeated, and the more so when
one recalls the fact vhst their oppo
nents remained quietly at home and
attended strictly to business throughs
out those memorable campaigns.

soon makes it serviceable, aud a fine

this kind that Prince P.ismarck uses
for taking notes and most of the pur

A Brilliant Irishman.
Bcranton (Pa ) Review.
Dr. John Savage, the poet, painter
and dramatist, who is attending the
meetingbf the Eleventh Congressional
Conference in this city inthe interest of
his friend, Hon. Jno is. Storm, of Mon
roe county, although young in spirit
aud comparatively young iu years, is
a man With a most romantic and re-
markable history, whose name has
thrilled two generations of Irishmen
and won an houorable place iu Ameri
can literature. Forced into exile iu
1S4S by the Spartan-like Young Ire-
laud movement that made history
luminous with the names of John
Mitchel, Smith O'Brien, Thomas
Francis Meagher, diaries Gavau
Duffy, Richard O'Gonuan and others,
he. came to this couutry and speedily
w7)u a place ion himself iu - the world
ot letter's on this side of the Atlantic,
It was but transferring his fame to
wider sphere siuce he had already won
his spurs as a brilliant writer on
the other side. Mr. Savage at once
became connected with the "Demo
cratic Review," the organ of the
Democracy of the United States, at
time when it numbered among its con
tributors William Cullen Bryant,
Longfellow, Hawthorne and other
leading lights of American literature,
After that he edited "The States" at
Washington duriug the stormy period
preceding the war. Mr. Savage was
a warrior by nature, and therefore a
war Democrat. When the storm
broke that set men's hearts on fire, he
wrote some of the first and best war
songs of the time, the most popular
being the "Starry 1 lag" aud "The
Muster of the North," which were fre
quently sung by thousands of patriots
on the march, aud as often quoted by
Xorthern orators. "The Muster of the
North" was a great favorite with the
late Secretary Folger, who frequently
recited it with line eflect. But Mr.
Siyage was not content with writing.
He wanted to do some ot the lighting,
aud so he threw down his pen, took
up his sword and rendered gallant ser
vice in the hrave Sixty-nintn regi
ment. After the war he resumed lit
erature, and in order to be alone with
his thoughts purchased a beautiful
home in Monroe county, a short dis
tance from the Water Gap, where he
now resides. His latest poetical pro
duction was read at the last re union
of the Armv of the Patomac, and was
a grand and stirring w ork. His poem
on Washington, published by the Har
p?rs so:ne years ago, was a great hit,
but his oest know prose production is
Picturesque Ireland," which was
completed last year and issued in su
perb style by a .New 1 ork publisher.
Mr. Savage is the author ol several
dramas, but his thrilling poem
"Shane's Head," which begins:
"God's wrath npon the Saxon ! nny he nev
er know the pride
Of dying on the battlefield, bis broken
spear beside'.
has made the blood of more Irish pa
triots tingle than any other verses of
recent times. Dr. Savage, Judge
O'Gorman, of New York, and Sir
("harles Gavau Dully, of Paris, are the
only survivors of the Young Irelaud
galaxy of which Mr. Savage himself is
the brilliant historian. The pleasure
of meeting him illustrates anew the
adage "men may meet, but mountains
never." Dr. Savage is still young, run
of the "divine fire," aud bis numerous
fneuds will wish him, many years of
usefulness.

It is estimated that there are now at
least two billion bushels of corn either
standing in the shock or have been al
ready husked. Iu the latter part of
this month or next mouth the farmers
will gather oue day ou oue farm aud
another day ou another farm, and
they will put ou their rough husking-
apron, and tney win take tue nueking

with it unsheathe tue com irom tne
husk aud toss it into the golden heap.
Then the wagons will come along aud
take it to the corn-crib. How vividly
to all those of us who were born iu the
country comes the remembrance of
husking-time. We waited for it as for

The tlachiquero took us in charge

made a rather picturesque caravan as
we sallied forth in pursuit of informa

of his profession dangling from his
belt. Betsey and I followed, mounted
upon donkeys so dimmutive that our
dresses nearly dragged upon the
ground, our beauty enhanced by blue
goggles, which experience has taught
us the value of wearing in this sunny
couutry. The peons brought up the

with pig-skins, into which the agua

The following account of the re

"When he could just tod lie, Don

of delight, -and putting hist white,
plump littlo arms around her great
brown, hairy trunk, would tug away

"And, strange to say, he actually
aetomplisued his object, for liuccii

imitate what he had seen the trainer

there he would sit, with the air of a

eye or to swing his foot into her
mouth, but not a motion would the
patient creature make while lnw sat
there, for she seemed to know th: it ho
was not very secure in his high p.rch.
"Soinelimen Don would carry bis

The following anecdote is from an
illustrated article in the October Cen
tury, by George F. Williams, tbe well
know 11 war corresondeiit, ou "Lights
and Shadows of Army Life": In some
regiments the discipline was so strict
that men on post as sentinels were on
the alert to discover any delinquency
of tiieir superiors. At Federal Hill,
Baltimore, Colonel (afterward Gener
al ) Warren gave orders to his Zouave
guards that only officers in uniform
were to la; admitted into camp. One
bright Sunday morning iu August,
l-s'jl, General I is, who commanded
the troops guarding the city, walked
over from Fort McIIeury attired iu au
old linen duster, instead of the brass
buttoned and velvetsculfed coat be
longing to his rank. Attempting to
pass the lin-i of sentries in company
with an aide, the old general was
amused at finding a musket barring
his passage, while the aide, with his
glittering shoulder-straps, was permit
t'.ii to enter.
"'But don't you see that this is
Ieneral Dix'." exclaimed the aide, an
grily. "Well, between you and me, Major,'
said the Xouaye, his eyes twinkling
with amusement, 'I see very well who
it is, hot if General Dix wants to get
into this camp, he had lieiter go back
u.nd put on bisuuiform.'
"'You are quite right, sentry,' re
marked the general. 'I'll go back aud
