( "The soldiers of the artillery rose at

burned the stables, and with arms in their

lice, and were either killed or captured.
It Is not yet clearly known whether the

1fRs. LINCOLN of Boston has two tame
lions-great, tawny, handsome beasts,
about two years and half old. She took
them when they were first born, and has
brought them up as household pets. Until
very lately they were in her parlor, and
went about the house as freely as a dog
would, but the city authorities requested
that they should be kept under some re-
straint. They now live in a room back Of
the parlor, and opening into 1t by grated
door, which is said to be strong, but which
is often open, as Mrs. Lincoln goes in and
out OF the room, playing with the lions,
petting them. and making them do their
tricks. "When I saw them," says q cor
respondent ofthe Worcester Spy. "Willy,'
as the lion Is called, was eating his break
fast, t,and did not like to be disturbed. How.
ever, at Mrs. LincOln's command, he
stretched up on his hind paws, to show
how big he was, rolled over, and did
other infantile tricks. Ms. Lincoln then
opened the low parlor window and called
Martha, little girl, come here
and up trotted the lioneSs, who was taking
her morning walk In the narrow yard.
Both lions kiss Mrs. Lincoln, and she has
no fear Of them. They seem to her so
tame, in spite Of their hearty
diet OF raw meat, that she cannot under
stand how any visitor can be afraid"
