cats in a cage, Some acquaintance asked me if
they were like the wild cats in the backwoods and
was looking at them, when one turned over and
died. The keeper ran up and threw some water on
it, Said stranger, you are wasting time. My look
kills them things and you had much better hire me
to go out of here or will kill every yarmint you've

me, " Crockett, don't that monkey favor General

favor. 1t looks like one of your boaTders, Mr.,
Of Ohio There was loud burst Of laughter at my
saying so; and, upon turning round, I saw Mr.. -.

'em, i had either sandered the monkey, or Mr.,
Of Ohio, and ifthey would tell me which would beg
