his long story about Annie McGrath Z
purchase of poison and queer talk about
suicide
The pathetic recital by Annie's married
sister--Nrs Efiie Butterneld-of hel
knowledge Of the girls relations with
Langdon did not cause even "a wink OF
the.eye Of Langdon who sat absolutely
unmoVed.
The testimony Of the coroner S physician
did not fully establish tho cause Of the

Learned In One Lesson.

A truly remarkable story Of feline in.
yelligence was lately told by CORE.
spondent of the London Spectator. In.
deed, it might fairly be called incredi-
bic, only that the correspondent, as will
be seen, vouches for its truth.
am induced to send you an account
Of Il remarkable instance Of feline sa-
gacity which occurred in my house last
week.
About fortnight ago my black Per-
sian cat brought to the house young
sparrow, and taking it to the front door
mat, began stripping it of Its feathers.
The cook, not approving of the litter
made by the said feathers, doubled the
mat over and told the cat he must not
make such litter, but strew the feathers
on the wrong side of the mat and not on
the top.
A fortnight afterward the cat brought
in another bird and, marvellous TO say,
turned the mat-which was a heavy coir
mat over with his claws, and Uttered
the wrong side Of it with the feathers,
precisely as the cook had told him to do.
This is absolutely true, and without
ixaggeration.
