ECSontriC Cats.

There Is now at tho Battery in the
Devils Point. England, cat which is
an expert catcher of the finny tribe,
being in the constant habit OF diving
In the sea and bringing up the fish
alive In her mouth, and depositng them
in the guard-room for use Of the sailors
This remarkable cat was Indirectly
trained by her inspector to sport in
this manner, having long been accus-
toned to dive into the sea after water
rats. Her love for the water, says the
writer, was as great as that of any
Newfoundland dog. This anecdote
proves how the nature of the beast may
be changed by circumstances. No
doubt, h ad she had kittens, and fish
and water-rats been the only food they
could obtain, they might have followed
the mothers curious habit, and in
course Of time the instinct becoming
hereditary, there might have been a
race OF sea-diving cats. Cats can rea-
son-or put two and two together in a
quiet way. Sam Slick tells tale
touching this faculty which might not
be believed. were it not backed up by
other irreprOachable evidence. A SER
want continually entering the masters
library upon the summons of the bell,
aud as continually being told that it h; d
not been rung, persisted in saying that
he had heard it. The lomestics began to
suspect the house was haunted, and so
1t turned out to be-not by ghost,
hnx 1,,,f 6,yo HI,
the company of her master, and not be-
ing able to gain admission by reason
Of tho closed door, must have noticed
that when certain bell within her
reach rung, 1t was opened by the SER
want. Puss, noticing cause and effect,
used to ring tho boil, and always ran
to the door and entered when he did !;
the fact Of the simultaneous entry
leading, Of course, to the discovery Of
her cunning trick. This. it will be
said, was but Sam .Slickism but here
Is still cleverer trick, which Is re-
lated Of an Angora cat belonging to q
Carthuslan monastery ut Paris. This
cat having observed that the cook al
ways answered a certain bell just be-
fore the dinners portioncd ont in plates
were served out to the monks, leaving
them III consequence unprotected, had
wit enough to take advantage Of this
fact, for she used to ring the bell out
side tho kltchcn-door, watch tho cook
of guard, spring through the window,
help herself to Il portion, and then re-
turn before he had time to come back.
