Ono of Boston's handsomest Maltese
cats arrived in this city this noon on
the 1254 express via Springfield. She
secured passage in a drawing room

train left the Boston and Albany de-

the break beam of one of the trucks
just before started, but sup-
posed she would jump off when the
ear began to move. On the contrary,
tho cat fastened her claws into the
woodwork all the firmer when the
train started, and during her ride of
miles maintained her position
disturbed by the whirlwind of sand
and gravel that would have smothered
an ordinary mortal. When tho train
reached Use city she was still in
session of her senses, and had become
so firmly attached to her new home
that the porter could scarcely pull her
off the truck. When he did she. how-
ever, quickly ran back and took her
former seat on the truck, and it was
only- when tho baggage master again
pulled her off and held her in bis arms
till the train moved away that the
cultured cat could be persuaded to re-
main in the capital city. She was not
in the least disturbed by her rapid
transit, and when Banning
placed her on tho back seat of his hack
she immediately began to purr con-

scat and pulling slowly upon the cloth

not be so surprising if Mr.

better than most men would do with

during which tune he was laid- up for
one year, having sustained serious in-

the old soldier, when counseling the
recruit to take comfort in the
chances or war. Tho ways of bullets,
when they seem actually to re-
commission to strike, are often
very eccentric and whimsical. An
army surgeon who was in the habit of
carrying in his breast pocket a little
sketch book, says that he to
owe it a special debt of gratitude.
The book itself is ready to tell us
why, for it is pierced through
parts of its thickness with two dis-
bullet holes. About fifteen or
twenty sketches were thus sacrificed,
but the doctor's life had, at tho
time been saved.
The Ufa of a war correspondent of
The London Telegraph was also saved
by such a shield. A curious fact con-
with this was that
the bullet had revolved in its course,
after reaching the so that
its track was u circular one.
Several cases of the eccentricities of j
bullets have been given by Irving i
in of a War
Artist. He declares that lie has known
bullets to flatten round a bone, as if
the bone, having been broken, was
now joined together by tho pliant lead.
In another case, the bullet went six
times in and out of a skirmisher's body i
