At theBrorimMin county •oourt yesterday

*Aimee of amount due for the hoard and
maintenance of a at. Mr. Robinson op -
neared for the plaintiff and Mr. Richards
for the defendant.
Mr. Robinson stated that the .oat, which
was it favorite and very ;valuable, came into
the ,possession of the p/ointiff in dune, 0.883,
when an agreement was entered into by
which -she undertonk to keep the animal
and supply it every day with half a pound
of liver and a pint of milk, for which she
was to receive 2 shillings per week, payable
by.instalments of Ll in advance. The de-
fendant paid various same up to Aug. 1st,
188e, and several letters passed, one ,of
which ran as follows:
-"Dear Annie, -Inclosed Ll off James'
,(the cat's) account, and a tin of sardines'
for his dinner, which I hope he will •enjoy. I
inclosesyou also a loin of pork,whichI trust
will be equally acceptable to youreelf."
In August last the defendant became;
desirous of having " Poor Jim" poisoaeds,
and sent a messenger with a letter begging
thotthe cat should be handed over to hitn!
for that purpose. The plaintiff stated that
in a883 Mmes Corner, who was a wealthy!
lady, lived in Sussex street, Pimlico, and
the witness was her charwoman. On chang-
ing her residence she asked the witness to
takecare of the cat, and the witamswas to
feed it as stated.
Mr. Rickards (in cross-examination)-
" Have you a receipt for what you fed that
cat en ?"
The witness-" No; but, my solicitor
has. Very often my husband and I have
fed that cat when we were hungry our.
selves. We did it out of respect to Mme.
Corner. She sent us many valuable pre-
sents, each as a loin of pork.'
Mr. Rickards--," It was a very valuable
eat was it not ?"
The witness-" Yee."
Mr. Rickards-" I should think so. He
ate almost enough to keep a nun," •
The witness-" I would not like to keep
you on it long."
" Not on loins of pork ?"
The witness-" We ate the pork, ' Jim '
ate the 'sardines."
Ultimately His Honor gave judgment
for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. -

Aineiri•all Cotton.
Brastreette calls attention to the ,fact
that there has been a steady decrease in
the yield of cotfon in the Southern States,
and that this decrease has gone on in the
face of a yearly increase of acreage. it is
stated that the average yield per acre is
thirty-one pounds less than it was five
years ago. This decrease amounts to about
14 percent., while the decline in price has
been 24 per cent. The cotton crop of 1882
.arnounted to 7,000,000 bales, which were
grown on 16,184,000 acres. The estimated
•crop for the preeent year is 6,800,000
bales, and the area 18,698,000 acres. This
decline of late years in the yield of cotton
is sedposed to be due in part to the fact
that the soil of late years has been deprived
of its natural fertilizer, the cotton seed,
which hes become a marketablecom-
modity, and artificial fertilizers have not
as yet been introduced to a sufficient ex-
tent to compensate for the lose.

Numerous little, excuses always prove
the absence of any real excuse, or a desire
that it shall not be discovered.
It is an acknowledged fact that one
pretty woman never sees any beauty in
another. It would net be human nature if
she did.
So much a matrwill do where nothing is
needed -so much time and money he will
spend for 1 woman who neede neither!
If I were a man I would never want to
marry a blonde, for I know she would be it
faded and washed.out woman before she
reached nuaturity. It hardly pays to be
pretty for se short a time.
No woman who lives rightly, and means
rightly, insists upon keeping an engage-
ment secret.
A man will do so much where nothing is
needed.

The Paseover in Algeria.
A correspondent sends to London Notes
and Queries in
of a curious Pass-
over custom n Algeria. He says: Dur-
ing the Passover week, in the present
year, I noticedthat many of the houses, in
the Jew quarter in Oran and in Tlemeen
were markedon the outilide with, the im-
pressions of the human hand. These
impressions were in different colors -.red,
black, yellow or blue; and in no instance,
as well as I ean recollect, were they either s
upon the sideposts of the doorsor upon,
the lintels, but always' upon the walls od
the houses. In some cases there was onc
impression only, in others there was as
many as five, and, further, in others, they
were arranged somewhat in the form of a
branch, having three hands at the summit
and three at each of the sides. At Tlemeen)
I saw a Man making an impression with e,
brush and ordinary red paint TM.; cus-
tom does not appear to be known among
the English Jews, for, after amity in. ,
quiriess I have met with none who has ever
heard Of it." The correspondent mike: •
"Is it riot an outgrowth or ern -vivid from
that ceremony which was performed on
the night of the flightof the Isreeliteis f rorn
Egypt? and may not the branchlike
figure be symbolical of the bunch' of
hyssop"
