Mrs. LINcoLN's Two TAME LIONS
Mrs. Lincoln, Of Boston, has two
tame llons-grcat, t,twny, han dsomo
beasts, about two years and half
old. She took them when they
were first born, and has brought
them up us household pets. Until
very lately they were in hor parlor,
and went about the house as freely
as n dog would. but the city mu-
thoritiee requested that they shoald
be kept under some restraint. They
now live in Il room back of the
parlor, and opening into it by u
grated door, which is said to be
strong, but which is often open, as
Mrs. Lincoln goes in and out of tho
room, playing with tho lions, pet
ting them, and making them do
their tricks. "When 1 SAW Them"
says correspondent Of the Wor~
cester Spy, "Willy, as tho lion is
called, WAS eating his breakfast and
did not like to be disturbed. How =.
ever, at Mrs. Lincoln's command, he
stretched upon his hind paws, to
show how big he was, rolled over,
and did other infantiie tricks. Mrs.
Lincoln then opened tho low parlor
window and called pleasantly, Mar
tina, little girl, como here and up
trottcd tho lionoss, who was taking
her morning walk in the yard.
Both lions kiss Mrs Lincoln, and
she had no fear of them. They
seem to her SO thoroughly tame, in
spite of their hearty diet of raw
meat, that she cannot understand
how any visitor can be afraid"
