He caused a number of cats to be painted, so as to look like tigers, and giring the dwarf a whip compelled him by kicks and to goad the cats into a furious attack upon him. The consequences was that the poor little fellow, who always had a great arersion to cats, was literally torn to pieces by the infuriated animals. This took place at the fair of Beau-pre-sur Saone recently. Sin«« then the showman had disappeared.
