A Ban Francisco Ktaminrr writer
pivfts a praphio account of a qnei-r
New Ycnr's custom which prevails
RtnoDpr tlio Canadian Frenchmen em
ployed as hunters, guides and flat-HSiah-nien
by the American and Hudson's
Bay Fur companies. The custom in
question is known as a " Oat-feast," and.
the writer, at the time he witnessed it;
was livinp; in a cabin on the banks of
the llawlin'a river, Wyoming. Only
four fat felines had been obtained for
, this great feast, says the writer. Where
they had come from I never ascer
tained. Whether they had been bred,
fed and fatted for this especial festive
occasion, or had been brought from
some far-off settlement in a sack or box,
it matters little. But there they were.
suspended in the bright morning sun
two black, one gray and one gray and
white. The cat-killing operation is per
iormea by tne cioui squaws, and as
the body of the animal must not be
bruised, and all the blood must be ex
tracted without injuring the skin, it re
quires some skill to kill a sat under
, such circumstances. The squaw, armed
with a short heavy club, seizes the ani
mal by its caudal extremity, and before
the brute has time to resent this insult
ing attack it receives a etunning blow
upon the back of the head, and then,
as quick as a flash, a knife is drawn
across its throat, and it is hung to bleed.
This cat-killing operation had been pet
formed before I arrived, and the dress
ing was then in progress. Monsieur
Charles Gereaux, a notable and
wealthy Indian trader, was stand
ing at the end of a rough, long table
critically supervising the very delicate
operation of preparing the felines for
the fire.
Two half-breed guides were perform
ing this duty. The cats, nicely disem
bowled, were brought in by the attend
ant squaws and laid upon the table.
One of the men then proseeded to stuff
the cats with a mixture of soaked
, crackers, cornmeal, cove oysters, black
and red pepper, maoe, cinnamon, dried
herbs, onions and cognao brandy. In
terspersed with this mixture were small
thin Btrips of fat bacon and with parti
cles of ham chopped fine. Having filled
the carcass with this stuffing, the skins
of the cats were drawn together and
securely sewed up with sinews. A large
tub of red clay was then brought in,
coat cf this adhesive substance, the
cjay being rubbed thoroughly into the
fur, so as to render this clayey coat per
fectly adhesive. At least two inches of
this clay was laid over each, and as they
' lay there upon the floor they resembled
four large clay demijohns or jugs fresh
from the handj of the potter . A large
number of fine, fat buffalo fish
and suckers were st rved in the
same way, and . then came another
equally interesting operation. At
the end of the largest of the four
rooms constituting " the ranch an
immense fire of dry cedar had been
burning all the morning, filling the
place with a rich aroma of cedar smoke.
This fire had now burned down to a pile
of red, glowing coals. A long, deep
trench was quickly made in this fiery
bank, and in this the cats and fish in
their incasements ot clay were quickly
laid, and covered with hot coals. While
this culinary operation was being per
formed inside" "Le Oommandante," as
Colonel Collins was designated by the
voyagers, had arrived; but as he was
accompanied by several members of his
Btaff, he was not invited to enter the
house. The fun of the day now com
menced in earnest. This consisted of
torse-racing, foot-racing, wrestling be
tween squaws, target-snooting and lasso
throwing. Brandy and whisky flowed
freely, but it was noticeable that no
quarreling or fighting ocourred among
them.
About 3 o'clook in the afternoon din
ner was announced, and all who could
get into the main room where the cook
ing had been done , repaired thither to
see the meats taken from their fiery
beds. On raking open the bank of red
hot cedar-wood coals the clay coverings
of the animals and fishes were found to
be burned to a brick-red color, and re
sembled large, shapeless lumps of brick.
These were lifted upon shovels and
laid upon a block especially prepared
for the purpose. Here a sharp blow
with a hatchet cracked the hot, brick
like coverings, and the fragments fell
away, taking with them the hide and
skin of the animals and the scales of
the fish. Then there arose such a
Bavory aroma from the steaming well-
Biunea animais as would have tempted
the appetite of the most fastidious dys
peptic. The air-tight coverings had
retained all the savory steam from the
spicy dressing, and nothing had escaped
during the slow roasting process be
neath the cedar coals. In addition to
the fish and the cats were savory stews
or pot-pourri of rabbits and prairie dogs,
rich soup of beaver tail, huge Blioes of
bear meat, juicy venison steaks broiled
upon the coals, and large rounds of
buffalo haunch toiled almost to frag
ments. No bread was used and vege
tables were not thought of. The near
est thing to bread was a stack of soda
crackers in the center of the table, and
two or three pans of nice-looking
doughnuts, which belied their looks
and almost spoiled my dinner when I
discovered that they had been fried in
the lard or fat extracted from skunks,
which formed a Btarle article of food
among frontiersmen. Notwithstanding
the variety and abundance at this
great New Year's feast, the guests
eagerly sought their share of the feline
"roasts. The white visitors partook but
very sparicgly of this strange dish a
bin all taste to gratify our host and our
om n curiosity. In flavor the meat was
not unlike that of a very fat rabbit. It
was white as the breast of a chicken
and very rich and tender. It is not to
be recommended as a staple article of
family diet, as it requires so much time
and trouble to properly dress it for the
table. It is needless to add that not
even the smallest particle of these luck
loss "Mines was permitted to go to
waste, and it was noticeable, too, that
whiieieye French Canadian voyagers
ari l guidiVi partook of their roast cat
v :ih an t-sgvr relish, none of the squaw
or Indian bricks would touch it. In
fact, they avoided it with every mani
festation of repugnance and disgust.
After the feast, which was slowly en
joyed by all present, the evening's
amusement oommeuced. A large fire
was built in the corral or court-yard,
around which the trappers and guides
gathered, while outside the Indians
started up their war songs and medicine
dances. There in the center of that
corral these half-wild people sung and
danced until the daylight dawned.
Their songs weremusical.and wore sung
in that uninterpretable patois peculiar
to that strange raoe of people who have
floated upon the cuter edge of civiliza
tion Bince tne landmg oi tneir anoes
tors in Quebeo and Montreal, two cen
turies before. They used no English
words and conversed as nnently in In
dian as in their own coarso lingo, which
is more French than anything ela-s, but
which few Frenchmen could under
stand. There, around their "bonfire,
they drank brandy and smoked; some
played upon violins, others sang wild
songs ox ironuer lire, Here and there an
old trapper or voyager related some won
drons story or ironuer a a venture as
guide or scout, but during tho entire
night, although liquor flowed as freely
a waster, no harsh or unkind word was
heard among these rough, wild moun
taineers and plainsmen. Many New
Years have passed away since that
bright, cold New Year's night within
the Bordeaux stockade, but the reoolleo
tions of that great cat-feant with the
hunters and trappers of the North
western mountains remains ever fresh
in my memory.

Prosecuting Animal?.
In the good old times from the thir
teenth to the nixteenth centuries ani
mals were duly prosecuted id court for
injuries done by them to life or limb or
to privato property, and numerous
cases are recorded in France of hojjs,
bulls, horses and other quadrupeds
being convicted and punished, capitally,
by hanging, burning or in other cruel
fashions. In Sardinia cattle taken in
the act of damaging property could be
lawfully slain, but asses, possibly as
being stupid and less accountable, were
punished for trespass, first by loss of
one ear, on a Beoond conviction by the
Iobs of the other and on the third by
a . a
jorieuure 10 tne crown. But when
physical seizure of tho offending crea
tures was impossible the ecclesiastical
tribunal took oognizanee of the mat
ter, and the plague of rats, locusts,
caterpillars, or what not, was duly cited
to trial. More fortunate than human
offenders, they were allowed eminent
counsol and wide latitude in their de
fense. One of the most famous law
yers of France made his first great hit
in the defense of "ceitain dirty ani
mals in the form of rats, of a grayish
oolor, living in holes," in the diocese of
Antun. His clients did not, of course,
appear on the stated day, and he pleaded
defective service, and that as all the
rats in the diocese were interested no
tice ehould be given to them in all the
parishes. The priests having been
duly instructed, and the rats still re
maining in contempt, their counsel ob
tained a postponement on tho ground
that more time was needed to make
their preparations for a journey en
masse, ana when the time was up he
came into court professing the good
faith of his clients and their anxiety to
appear, but demanding for them a safe
conduct and the putting of all tho
plaintiff's cats under heavy bonds not
to molest any rat until the case had
been decided. As the plaintiffs declined
to enter into the bond tho rats got off.
It would be curious to know what ever
came of the famous lawsuit between the
parish of St. Julien and the beetles, which
began in 1445 and had not been endde
in 14S7, when the records unhappily
terminate. The proceedings ended
with a compromise by which the inhabi
tants gave the beetles in perpetuity a
certain portion of the parish for their
sole use and benefit. Tho beetles
demurred to this, but the demurrer was
overruled and, the court's assessors hav
ing inspected the land and found it
everything that a beetle could ask, the
title was made duly out and signed and
sealed and the beetles would have had
to retire to it or place themselves in
flagrant contempt had it not been dis
covered that there had been a quarry
on the land, and, though it was ex
hausted and no longer worked, that
there was a rieht of wav over the, anil
which if exercised would incommode
tne now proprietors. The. beetles
promptly made the point, and the trial
was begun over again at the beginning.
One reason perhaps why the courts
were so scrupulous was to be found in
the fact that the plaintiffs had to show
a clean tithe-bill before brfrinriino- t.ha
suit, and during its continuance numer
ous imnosinff and exnensive ceremoniAa
were performed.
