A certain historical mouse is said to have been the means of rescuing a lion caught in a snare. Hitherto the aforesaid mouse has been the only one of his species whose career was deemed worthy of record. It will now however, have to divide its posthumous fame with two other mice, whose names will be handed down to posterity as having effectually dispersed a meeting of strong minded ladies — a feat no sane man or men would have dared to attempt. This notable incident occurred at a meeting of the “ Women’s Suffrage League,” held at the house of a lady at Southport. Just when some fair orator was exercising to the full her declamatory powers in aid of the sacred cause, a mouse was observed curiously contemplating the scene from a coign of vantage on a chiffonniere. The flow of eloquence wa? at anoe stopped, and silence fell on the entire meeting, one lady only venturing to observe that she had heard ‘‘that mice bit dreadfully," But when this mouse’s presence was supplemented by that of another, no more words were wanted; a rush was made for the door, and the meeting broke up in " the greatest excitement.”
