" The Silken Cats."
Y I The Moral Aspect of the Times.
A tate number of Notes and Queriel hives ! The followin
the foilawing account of the •• is a ye31,v sac! picture, but
I
Iiifketrny alas ! we fear it is too trop:
t.'at." The water says :-
•• Tl.e story has been so long current that
it has become a proe;e,b-" as quarrelsome
as the Kilkenny cats" --two of the cats in
wLich city are said to have fought so long and
tnrients•y that naught was found ot them but
t o tails ! This is inani:estly an Irish exag-
geration ; and wl•en our readers shall have
learned the true anecdote connected with the
two cats, they Aill naderstand why only two
tails were found, the unfortunate owners
havtns fled in terror from the scene of their
own mutilation. I am happy in being able
to state that neither Ireland nor Kilkenny is
at all disgraced bythe
take place in Kikenny, buts which. mighch t
have t;.ken place in any other place iu the
known world.
"During the rebellion which occnrrrd in
• Ireland in 179S,. (or perhaps in I$03), Kil-
kenny wasgarrisoned by a regiment of Iles-
sian soldiers, whose custom it was - to tie
to ;ether in ire of their barrack -rooms two
swats by tbeirrespeetive tails, and then ° to
throw then face to face, across a line gener-
ally used fee drying clothes. The eats
naturally became infuriated, and se
each other in. the abdomen, until de
sued to one or both of thane ecd term
their st fferinr s; The officers of the
were ultimately -made aecjn:c rated with
barbareetacts.of cruelty, and they
to put'ae end to. them and pox:`sb the .
• dere Ala : order to effect this pure
*officer was oared to inspect each
daily, and _to'report to tile, comma
officer what state Lt' found t>!icm in.
Vrnel soldiers determined not to los
daily torture of the wretched cats, ge
employed one of their comrades ta-
ttle
approach of the +otfcerf ? order th
eats might be liberated and take refu
- f ightbefore the visit of the: officer to
scene of their torture.
" On one occasion the :rlook out
