And employed an
Englimo._ A named Johnson, et drink
log{, fellow, but musket withal, and
who could; build orgaris, to make one
to serve aan accompanient to the
cats voices! Johnson informed him
that one of six octaves would do, at
least for anexperiment. Curtis 'sick
ened up the octaves and found that
four dozen! eats would 1111 the bill.
But he ordered two dozen more, for
fear that some might have' defective
voices, or prove. obstinate, or capri
cious like the Operatic tribe general
ly. Six dozed ,Of them were ordered.
and' accommodations prefiared for
them in sundry boxed, barrels, kegs,
dc., in thd back yard. But, bless
your soul!! siX dozen were nowhere.
All the lxiy4 in all the counties around.
in Kentucky as well as in Ohio heard
of the unprecented demand for the
antinals, , and every market 'day lots
of them might tie seen with baskets
and bags wendingtheir way to Wes
tern Row,to get the "quarter" or
"half dollar," the price Curtis estab
lished for kits and cats, as per size.
In a month Or. less his six dozen was
made up comprising every age, slie,
sex and coler. -, Curtis then published
that he had his full complement, he
had no room for them. But still the
boys came .on in almost unbroken
file, and finding "no sale," inconti
nently duniped the cats down at his
door, whencetheysaittered up alleys,
down cellars, over fences and into
'doors, as Viotti often asserted, "to
the number of six hundred and fifty,"
he sometimes added thousands.
Johnson-Went on with the building
of the orgati and the adaptation of the
extra blade keys to the cat's tails.
He arranged that the, singers should
be confine:tin' narrow boxes, which, •
while theylallciWed free play to the
lungs, guatdeit against clawing by
having four holes in 'the bottom
through which the legs protruded.
4'he tails wereenelceed In tubes pro-''
vided with longtiudinal slots—we' l
like to be "sleuthhound precise in de
scription—nercies which the blade
keys worked. These extra keys were
connected .soniehoW with thaw of
the organ, In Order that the keys and
their appropriate voices should be In
perfect unison, and thus produce as
the inventor expected, that "concord
of sweet sounds, that rapturous har
mony which is said to constitute the
language of angels and so forth.
Curtis, on his part proceeded with
the musical. education of the cats,
aided mash:Oily by Johnson, and In
a month or soluid a complete choir,
from of two Mouths,. his trebles and
falsettos, and his pu&sy. sopranos, up
to the venetable toms, who growled
out double ,bass equal to Carl Formes.
His greatest trouble arose from the
prcxligousnuntber of torn cats turned
loose by the* recklesS • boys. AS
might have been expected in that
immoral city, they soon became dis
sipated vagabonds keeping late
hours, visiting Curtis' musical fami !
ly without leave, and drawing away
the thoughts of the younger ones from
their profaisiobal studies. .
But at letigthllie organ was com
pleted, and the six octaves of cats ar
ranged In due order. A few rehear
sals were given before a select audi
ence of critics—mates, pilots, ete.
from the steamboats in port, and
these were willing to make of
if necessary , that such concert had
never been arranged since the days of
Handel, Otphies, or Tubal Cain. ,
The second story of a warehouse
near the landing was rented—a stage,
drop scene and Hers of seats provided
—the whole intended to accommo
date four or five hundred people.
The organ and eats were safely
transported to the place of. exhibi
t tion or performance without acci
dent, save tluit the - two principal
bassos;being accidently put in the
same bex, had an nwful fight all the
.way op from Western Row and were.
obliged to appear before the public
with very ; mend faces and bloody
noses, which however, did not at ail
detract from their popularity.
Everything;, being in readiness,
Curtis had flaming posters - stuck. up

"Old Lang Zion," which would be
followed by'"llail Columbia," "Char

iri the very madness of pain and ter
ror drowning the sound of the organ,
which could be heard occasionally
droning out in pld Lang Zion, in the
roar of the unearthly tornado of cat
erwauling. Never was an audience
so completely enchanted—never was
delight so unusual--sb unbounded,
and so vigorously expressed. Shouts,
yells, roars of laughter, such as West
ern men alone can give, burst from
the crowd, shaking the building from
roof to foundation. Curtis was de
lighted—thecuta were furious—John
son was beside himself with Joy, and
hammered away at the keys, with all
his strength; 'making with the aid of
the choir, and the plaudits of the au

never heard before on this side of t'ie

"Hurrah for Curtis!" "Never nand

Give us Ohl Hundred with the varia

mations, accompanied with shouting,
start ping, whistling and mt-calling—
Curtis all the time standing -, twirling
his hat and trying to be heard. A
stentorian yoke shouted "Three
cheers for Curtis," which were given
Mearnett,and literally brought down
the house, or rather the staging on
which the audience sat and stood. It
fell with a crash, luckily doing no
further harm than the barking °Ea
few shins. A moment's silence . fol
lowed and then another outburst of
laughter mingled with swearing and
blows,, which sOon became one of
those free tights such as ended most.
public gatherings, stump spetkings,
camp nicetinm etc., in those primi
tive and happy times. The boys now
began to pelt the eats with pieces of
-broken benches, and Curtis, fearing
for the sally of his pets, and unable
to remove them bodily from the
scene of danger; lifted off the upper
planks which confined their necks in
their place, and set them at liberty.
The terror-stricken creatures darted
itway in every direction, mostly
among the feet of the spectators, ad
ding to the confusion. Whoops,
-yells, hurrahs, and shouts were
fl
lowed by a general smash up of
benches and windows. The bovs
running down stairs raised the cry of
"lire." Citizens and . watchmen
crowded the street to learn the cause
of the uproar,-and the engines found
diffictilty in getting near enough to
perform their part of the work. There was no sight of fire, not even
ofmnoke, but the old "Liberty No 2"
Could not afford to come' all the way
down there for nothing, so she pour
ed a deluge of fresh water through
the front window, drenching the
whole crowd Inside to the skin in
half a minute.. Peace ,was restored
instantly, and the late belligerents
came rushing and tumbling pell melt
down the stairs. The watchmen
finding that there was morel laugh
ing than cursing, and that no one
had received any worse hurt than a
black eye or bloody nose, let them
all go without making any arrests.
Thus ended Curtis' grand cat con
cert, an event that was talked of
and laughed over for many years by
the jolly boatmen of the' Ohio. Its
projector was ordered to:appear be

an inch; but a glance at thenew com- .

She was a young lady of exceeding
beauty; dressed In modish and tasty

me, might have shared their chairs
with the handsome lady stranger.

Asir girl sat plump down, and her
dainty form mailed time to my side.
"I fear I have disturbed you." said
my companion in'a low, sweet voice
that filled me with its soft cadence.
"Not at all, Miss,"•l rejoined with
stereotyped politeness. "I am hap
py to oblige you."
Slmbowed end smiled in reply, and
a shortpause ensued as is usual upon
such acquaintanceship. In themean

rattled swiftly through the fields and
woods, now decked with the lively
tints of spring. The conductor came
in and went his customary routine of ,

I pereleved hers was marked f or

I said :
"You go to the city?"
"Yes," she replied with a smiloof
winning candor; "that I presume
you have already found out."
• "I shall keep your company then,"
I observed pleasantly.
"Thank you, sir.'
There was slight dignityi thought
' in the her tone, which repelled furth

and charming ensousiance of my new
friend that I readily gave the requir

the young lady threw aside her re
serve and talked apd chatted with
mein the most plensant manner. It
is needless to say that in an hour's
time I had so far advanced in her
good graces as to press her hand, and
the sweet half-coquettish smile that
played around the corners of her cher
ry lips, did not seem to disapprove of
the liberty I had taken,
"Do you know," said she, as we sat
talking, con fi dentially together that I,
liked your face the first time I saw it.''
It was sympathetic on both shies,
then," I whispered, drawing so near
to her that I could feel her hot breath
fan my cheek. '
"Yea, she murrnered gently. with
drawing herself from my glowing
embrace, for we had passed through
the tunnel, and I had taken a lover's
advantage and snatched a hasty kiss.
"You are a naughty nran, the
naughtiest num I ever saw," she said
in a low and tremulous tone. "If Pa

"Never fear, sweet creature," I re
joined earnestiy,"your cross old fath

the present opportunity."
"Are you aware," she observed,
half misehievously, "that there is
another tunnel beyond a great deal
darker, too, than the one we have
left?"
"I knoW it," said I with a tender
glance at my fair enslaver. "Wear°

Once more I plat my arm round
the waist of the yaing Indy, awl
wrapped in the gloom of the tunnel
took sweet pledges from her lips. It
was gratifying to my vanity: All

"My name and address," she re

"A flirt, a coquette!"
"No, no," she returned hurriedly,

APRON STRINGS.
Among -other classifications, the
world of men and women may divi
ded into those who wear aprons and
those Who are tied to the Strings
thereof, those who .determine the
length of tether, and those bound
to browse within its-circuit, those
who hold the reins and those who go
bitted. All men and women are
fond of power, but therii is a wide
diffbrence in the way which- they

man the small conventional laws
framed against Thin individual liber
ty by Mrs. Grundyand society ; men
rule with tads of iron and drive with
whips of steel, women shorten' the
tether and tie up erase to the apron
strings, men coerce, women forbid.
In that, the difference is Just that
which Iles between action and nega
tion, compulsion anti restraint ; be
the masculine jealousy of
equality and the feminine fer of ex
cess. If men debar women from all
entrance into their larger sphere, wo
men try to dwarf men's lives to their
own measure, and not a few hold
themselves aggrieved when they fail.
They think that everything which is
Inipctssible to them should be for
bidden to others, and they maintain
that to be a lamentable extreme
which is simply in extsss of their
own powers. Nisi content with su
prenuicy in the home which is their
own• undisputed domain, nor antis
tied with binding on men the vari
ous rules distinguishing life in the
drawing room, the dining room, and
the breakfast parlor, they would if
they could, carry the code .outside
and sweep into its narrow net the
club house and the mess titbit:, the
billiard room and the race course, and
wherever else 'Men congregate to

of feminine conventionalities. For
almost all women have an uneasy

to do SO • if you asked them they
would tell you quite the contrary;
but this would be the result if they

To home-staying women, (1 bril-,
liant Husband courted' - by the world,
and loving what courts him, Is a
painfulcross to bear, however much
beloved—the pain, in fact, being pro
-1 portionate to the love. Perhaps no
,life exemplifies this so much as
Moore's. Poor "Betsy"- suffered
many things because of the r(XXSCIIC:94
of the apron string by which her ro
ving husband was tied, and the
tether which he allowed himself.
.Thriallone amoroso as he was, his in
avant flutterings out of range and
reach caused her many a sad hour ;
and in after years she was often
heanl to say that the happiest time
of her life was when his mind had
begun to fail, for then she had him all
to herself, and no ono own) in be
tween them—no great world swept
him away to be the Idol of a salon,
and left her alone at home casting
up her accounts with life, and quak
ing at the result that came out.
When the brilliancy and the idolatry
tome to au end, then her turn began;
and she tied up her dulled and falter
ing idol dose to her side forever at--
ter, and was happier to have him
there than when he was at his
brightest and a rover. Many a wife
has felt t ie same -when . sickne has
broken down the strong man's pow
er to a weakness below herown, and
made her, so long 'the inkrior, now'
the more powerful of the pro, and
the supreme. She-gathers up the
reins with that firm, tight , hand ix ,
cullar to women, and ties him to bar
