The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-05-10


PHOENIX, has some curiosities in the way
OF an educated dog and gymnastic cat,
that perform wonderful feats. They
climb ladders, walk uprightly. in aphyai-
cal. not moral. sense, jump through
hoops. shake hands. and, in short, are
the most accomplished dog and cat that
Columbia has ever produced. Mr.. Marks,
to whom is due the sole credit of their
training, can probably realize a small
fortune when Dan CASTILLO comes around
again.
