' .

The 4thBepsrate Co., of Yonkers and the l l t h Separate Co.,. of Mt. Vernon, by invi­tation, par ided with the 8th i teglment . Before wheeling into ltne.of the possession, details were made from each of the separ­a t e companies and formed into a provision­al company with Lieutenant Pressey,' of the l l t h Co., in command. In marching up Fifth avenue, the letters on the collars Of the Mount Vernon oompatjy attraoted a t tent ion aod frequent remarks were made in regard to tb« l l t h S6uth Carolina- Com­pany. This company had their first exper­ience of active service a t the . eo rpe fo f Fifth avenuo and Forty-second street, j o e y wer* halted, there and the crowd was so great t h a t It . prtisted ta on the 8*nks j the police were nnabls to keep it in pUce CApt. Dshlke was requested to itixe the people back and Immediately ordered a left wheel with the rifles At " a r m s port The movement WAS promptly executed wi thout unnecessary violence, and the crowd WAS pushed back in its proper plaoe. The 4lh Separate Co., soon after was called on to do tha some thing. The brigade in wKkKthcsa oompanfea were, hailed above One Hundred and Tenth street, on the Riverside Drive, and was compelled to

THE OAT'S snrs LIVES. Pianos. Of the cat it is commonly said that it has

nine lives. By this saying nothing very definite is meant beyond the opinion that under various kinds of death the cat lives much longer than other animals that have to be killed by violent means. When any question is asked of the police or of other persons who have to tak« the lives of lower animals, they- tell you, without exception, according to my experience, that the cat is the most difficult to destroy of all domestic animals, and that it endures accidental blows and. falls' with an impunity that is quite a distinguishing characteristic, .

The general impression conveyed in these views is strictly correct up to a certain and well-marked degree. By the lethal death, the value of the life of the cat is found to be, at the least, three times the worth of the dog. In all the cases I.have seen in which the exaotest comparisons were made, the cat outlived the dog. A cat and dog of the same ages being placed in a lethal chamber, the cat. may, with perfect cer­tainty, be predicted to outlive the dog. The lethal;chamber beingiarge enough to bold both the cat and the dog, the vapor in­haled by the animals, being the same, with every other condition identical, this result, as an experiniental.truth., may be accepted without cavil." • The differences,- always, well marked, are.

sometimes much longer than would b e [ 1 2 4 - S l f t l l A v e . , : J S l e v y " Y 'Ork . credible in the absence of the evidence. I PACTOBY. COR. BBOOMJB AND EAST STS have once seen a cat, failing asleep in a lethal chamber in. the same period as a dog, remain breathing, literally,, nine- times lorigersfor the dog died within five minutes, . T Q T J J J A and the cat not only continued to breathe, {J in profoundest sleep, for forty-five minutes' but. would have been recoverable by simple removal from the vapor into.fresh air if it had. been, removed while yet one act of breathiug continued. This, however,Was exceptional, because the cat in the some lethal. atmosphere as the dog does not, as a rule,. live more than thrice as long ; i..e., if the- dog ceases to breathe, in four minutes, the cat will pease in from ten to twelve minutes, after falling. asleep.—Dr. B.. W.-Richardsbn, in Popular.Science Monthly forAugust.
