The family looked at one another with blank faces as the door clapped smartly after her. Aunt Paulett was a woman of her word, and. if she said she would go back to her husband's people, go she would undoubtedly, and then, what would become of them all?

I got them when I was toa happy to care about them, when our little son was born. How kind Sir Josiah was then! There was nothing he would not have done for me or baby. He gave them to me for the christening dinner, and little Jos took notice of them and laughed, when he was brought down to have his health drunk. Such a noble little fellow he looked: dark curly hair and blue eyes like my dear father’s, taking notice of every- thing, and only six weeks old! and that very day week he was in his coffin. My poor little son!” The old lady snapped the case and pushed it away from her with a trembling hand. “Thad just begun to think that after all I might be going to have some happiness in this world when he was taken from me. Sir Josiah never seemed to care for anything but his busi- ness after that. “When I came here and saw Jack in his cradle he looked so like my boy I thought he was given back to me.

Well, I've finished. No; go and fimsh your packing, and then come. Whatam I todo with this?” This was the little sham Chinese box—a sadly battered and shabby little thing. The pink sareenet lining was trayed and gone, disclosing the bare wood and cotton-wool foun- dation. In the compartments were odds and } ends of miscellaneous rubbish. The pocket in the lid bulged out with yellow scraps of paper, old-fashioned patterns for marking letters tied with faded ribbon, scraps from newspapers. There were curiously cut silk winders of card- board with silk of dim and long-forgotten tints wound in fancy patterns, a half-made hair chair, a string of amber beads; pervading all a faint, sweet sinell of roses. “I should like to have it put in my coffin, my “ar old box!

From the Providence Press, Whether unjustly or not, from time imme- morial, all maiden ladies of an uncertain age have been credited with a certain amount of af. | fection for animals of the species feline, but never hasa case been recorded where the p degree as it was by alone, Jorn woman, number of years ago, ina small town Ina neizh- boring For some ye ious to the year 1835, there I low-studded- umble-down looking hy ed in an out, of-the-way cross road, Letween the towns of Sterling and Lancaster, Mass.. two maiden sisters, named Congdon, each of whom had a love for cats, and had three or four pets of this | kind, ally, about the year above mentioned, | the younger sister died, leaving the cider, azed | about 65 years, alone in the world. From this time forward, all the love which Miss Congdon had feit for her sister was concentrated into A LOVE FoR CATs, and soon her little house became the shelter for all the stray felines that came that way, a place where all the neighbors dropped the cats or kit- tens which they wished to rid themselves of. Thus they multiplied and increased until it is estimated that at one time the “lonely old m was the foster mother or sort of guardiau anzel offrom 100 to 125 cats, of all sexes, sizes, shapes, colors and descriptions. And all of these the old woman loved “with a love that passeth understanding,” and would nurse them in sickness as tenderly as a mother would her child, caressing them In an affectionate manner, and day by day wash them and carefully comb and brush their coats or make up their beds, while those who were not under treatment would run and race up and down the room, over her shoulders, chairs, tables, ete. IN THE SUMMER TIME the old woman could frequently be seen, seated in her old arm-cnair, with the doors and win- dows thrown wide open. with cats perched Jap upon her shoulders, cuddl and occupying every available space, in « conceivable position. The cats them seemed to be always happy aud contented, save when the larder was empty, and then’ they would go on a foraging expedition out into the fig¢lds and woods near the hous There they would catch rats, mi meadow moles, rabbits, ete., which they would quickly kill and eat. Ordinarily the cats were comparatively peace. fully di ed, but at times, when they were huagry, tliey became very y and ferocious, and rent the air with the meowlings, yells and howlings, so that the SCHOOL CHILDREN WERE AFRAID to pass the house, and would take hold of hands and go scampering acr the lots to avoid passing the door. In the winter the cats were housed up the greater portion of the time, and those persons who happened to go past the house at amoment. when the door was accidentally opened would find the stench-laden atmosphere which came from within, almosteun- bearable. All cats, gaunt of fat, well and strong, or lame and ill, from the tiniest kitten to the oldest gray-beard of a tom-cat, were be- loved by “Mother Congdon” and found shelter in her house and plenty of food while she could provide it. She was possessed of a small prop- erty from which she deriveda moderate income, every dollar of which was spent for the good of her darling pets. When tie weather was good she has often been seen taking the CATS OUT FOR A WALK, and at this time she presented a very comical appearance. Cats were riding on‘her shoulders, cats in her arms, cats clinging to her dress, and eats running beside ber or following in a de- mure procession in her wake. At this period of her life, she is deserlbed as being tall and gaunt, with round shoulders and bent figure, a small, thin, very much wrinkled face, surmounted by coarse, gray hair, and heavy, bushy eyebrows, underneath which gleamed keen, stcely-gray eyes, her whele exterior being like unto one of Macbeth’s witches. A few years later “Mother Congdon” died and all of her property was found to have been left for the support of her darling cats. Of her early life but little is known, nor could the cause of this inordinate affection for the cat tribe ever be learned, ay she turned the cold shoulder on all visitors, and de- voted all her time and energies tothe almost endless task of washing, combing, feeding and dressing the hundreds of cats which for nearly ten years were her constant companions. —_—$—_ so. THE LARGEST CAVE ON EARTH. The Newly-Found Kentucky Cave—Its Cataconml Mummics, and Masonic Embiems. From the Grayson Advocate, The great cave lately discovered here has becn visited by a multitdde of people from vatious points of the United States. We think that Leitehfield is destined to become the great “Mecca” of the world—for the Masonic frater- nity, and scientists generally, For the last two weeks no one has been ad- mitted to the cave except upon presenting a written permit from Mr. Rogers, and those who have been fortunate enough to obtain admission have been principally scientists from abroad, who journeyed here to see the great wonder for themselves. It was necessary to take this step, as the cave was rapidly being despoiled of its contents. Indeed, several of the mummies and some of the smaller Masonic emblems were car- ried off before Mr. Rogers—or, in fact, any of our citizens—realized the importance of the dis- covery, and of preserving the contents of the cave intact. The subterranean river has been so swollen from the excessive rains of the last month that no explorations have been made in the avenues beyondit. Excavations have been made, however, in ‘the chambers or catacombs where the mummies and Masonic emblems were found, and in the vicinity of the pyramid, and several tablets, with queer hicroziyphics have been dug up, also some bronze and copper vases, and pieces of pottery. A mound was opened and found to contain six well-preserved mummies, reposing in regular order with feet radiating from the eenter. Inthe discovery of this cave the key is un- doubtedly found that will unlock the mystery of the pre-historic race of America, and also prove their identity with the ancient Egyptian race who undoubtedly etossed overand peopled this continent, built temples, and flourished ina high degree of civilization until wiped out of exis- tence by the ruthless hand of the savage. The caves of Kentucky undoubtedly afforded them shelter and protection, and were usedas a sort of catacomb for the storage ofail that was near and. dear to them, including their illustrious dead. Such at least seems to have been the case in this instance, whether this theory will apply to the other caves of Kentucky or not. Many beautiful formations have been discoy- ered during the last week. The stalactites and stalagmites glisten like so many millionika tienda, The losis and columns of alabaster are beauti- ful beyond description, and its wanders will have to be seen to be fully appreciated. ed down in h That Rich Experience. A FREE PRESS INTERVIEW SUSTAINED AXD ITS SOURCE REVEALED. From the Detroit Free Preas. A few months ago an interview with a prominent and well-known physician, formerly a re<f lent of Detroit, but now living in New York, appeaved in the columns of this paper. The st atements made by the doctor and the facts he divulzed were of #) unusual a nature as to cause no littie commotion among those who read them, and many inquiries were raised as to the cenuineness of the interview and the validity of the statements it contained. The name of the physician was at that time suppressed at his own request. The seal of secrecy, however, can now be removed, aé the important and interesting letter which appears below will abundautly show. In order, however, that the reader may better understand this letier, a few extracts are herewith given from the interview in question. After an exchange of courtesies and a few reminis- cences about the war, in which the doctor was a prom- inent surgeon, the reporter remarked upon the doctor's improved appearance, upon which he eaid: “Yes, I have improved in bealth since you last saw me, and I hope also in many other ways. One thing, however, T have succeeded in doing, and it is one of the ardest things for any one, and especially a doctor, to do, and that is I have overcome my prejudices. You know there are some people who. prefer toremain in the wroug rather than acknowledge the manifest right. Such prejudice leads to bigotry of the worst order. Now, I am a physician, and of the ‘old schoo!’ order, too; but I have, after yeara of experience and observa tion, come to the conclusion that truth is the highest of allthings, and that if pre‘udice or bigutry stand in the way of truth, so much the worse for them—they are certain to be crushed sooner or later, Why, when I knew Violating the code of ethics laid down by the profession, orof prescribing anything out of the regular onder, than T would of amputating my hand. Now, however, I prescribe and advise thore things which T believe to be yted to cure, and which my expericuce has proven e such. “‘How did you come to get such heretical ideas as these, doctor?” “Oh, they are the result of my experience and ob- servation. I obtained my first ideas upan the subject, though, from having been cured after all my care and the skill of my professional brethren had failed to re- lieve me. Why, I was as badly off as many of my pa- tients, with a complication of troubles, including dys- pepsia, and consequently imperfect kidneys and liver’ and I feared I should have to give up my practice. For in various parts of the body ; a lack of interest in every thing around me; a loss of appetite; headaches: all hese disagreeable symptoms were added to pains which were both acute and constant, Sick as I was, however, Iebecame restored to health in a most surprising mani and in an incredibly eof time, and it wasthin that proved a rey ‘That was the starting point, and my prejudices faded rapidly after that T can assure you.

Tcongented ou condition that you would not mention iy name until I gave you permission. I have now accompilshed the purpose I had in mind, and wish to say to yon (which you can publish or not as you see fit) that I had debated for a long time whether I would shake off some of the professional fetters which bound me with others for years, and tell the truth or not. When I looked back and thought of the tortures, like those described by Dante in his trip to the infer: regions, which Lendured from dyxperia, and recall how much I would have civen at that time for the revief which I have since obtained, I determined that I would take the step 6o long meditated, and thereby discharge a duiy to my fellow men. If I could thereby save cue poor mortal one night of the terrible suftering I en- dured, I would be fully satistied, be the other conse quences what they might.

When in this frame of mind, desperately in need of help, but expecting none, one of my unpre mal friends called my atiéntion to some wi wrought by « prominent remedy and urged me to try it. I emphatically declined. But sceretly, and with the firm determination that [ would never I what [had doue, I began its use. It periment, you know, but for that matter all medical treatment is experimental. Well to make along and surprising story short, I experienced a sort of phyai- cal revolution. My skin got a better color. My liver resumed its functions. I no longer had to arouse the bow cathartics. My headaches disap- but still I was not con- Nature did it," I reasoned.

Under such convincing circumstances, the mat- ter of confessing my cure became a question of conscience and of duty to humanity. ‘Here is a remedy,” I said, ‘‘that has done for me what the best medical skill of the country could not accom- plish'—and as an honorable man I will not suppress the fucts. Itherefore write you and most unhesitatingly assert that for all diseases of the kidneys, liver, stomach orurinary organs which are amenable to treatment, Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure surpasces any remedy Ihave ever known or used, and since physic- ians have so much ill-success in the treatment of dis- eases of these orxans, Iam prepared to accept ali the ‘consequences when I say that they are, if conscientious, in duty bound to use this pure vexetable compound in their practice. Yours, very truly, J. W. Suan, M. D. Statements so outspoken as the above and coming from such areliable source are valuable beyond ques- tion. They conclusively show not only the power of the remedy, which has become so weil known and pop- wlar, but the great importance of attention in time to the first indications of declining health. When prates- sional men of such bich standing sink their prejudice and willingly declare their belief in that which they know to be valuable, the public may confidently follow their example. it DRINK LAKE AUBURN MINERAL SPRING WATER.
