In pro mulgating youresotric cogitations, or articulating snporfioial senti mentalities and philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversations possess a clari- fied consoiseness, comprehensible- ness, coalcscem, consistency and a concatenated cogency. Eschew al 1 conglomerations of flatulent gar rulity, jejune bablement and asin ine afieetations. Let your extem poraneous desnantings and unpre meditated expatiations have intel ligibility and veratious vivacity, without rhodomontade or thrason ical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllable profundity, pomp ous prolixity, psittnceous vacuity, ventrilequinl verbosity and vanilo- quent vapidity. Shun donlble-in- tendres, prurient jocosity and pest iferous profanity, obscurant or ap parent. In other words, talk plain ly naturally, sensihlv, truthfully, purely. To Get Kid or Rats. (Scientific American.) We cleared our premises of these detestable vermin by taking white wash yellow with copperas, and covering the stones and rafters in the cellar withjt. In every orev- ico in which a rat may go, ‘we put the crystals of tho copperas j and scattered in the corners of tho floor. The result was a perfect stampede of rats and mice. Slnee that time not a footfall of eithor rats or mica has been heard around the house. Every spring a coat or this yellow wash is given tho cellar as a puri fier, as a rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery or lever attacks the family. Many persons delib erately attract all tho rats in the neighborhood by leaving fruits and vegetables uncovered in the cellar, and sometimes even the soup is left open for their regale ment. Cover up everything eata ble in the cellar and pantry, and you will soon starve them out. Let the Creditors Cry,,,, . , Old Uncle Moso is much given to sentiment, particularly when lie lias got on the outside of a dram or so too many. During tbe ex citement attemient on the burning of the Capitol, he overstimulated himself, and towards evening ho meandered down Austin avenue in a maudlin condition, blubbering, “I havo lived hero all my life, and now I lias lost de Capitol. I Imln’t got no capitol left, boo-hoo-hoo I” “Hush your Jaw, you old mahog any colored gorilla,” said Giihoo- ■y- “I haven’t had any capitol in tho Inst ton years. Do ns I do it.” ’ How’s dat boss?" said tho old man, passing tho hack of Ills hand over tho beak of Ids nose.” “Let your creditors do the cry ing over the loss of your enpitof.” —Texas Shifting. Tho New York post-office lias a man whose business for the past twonty-five years has been to de adlier bad addresses. He has col* leeteil directions of tho various cities of tiie country, and is said to know all tho streets and a great numlier residences of Now York City. Soino time ago a foreign letter came directed to “Patrick Mahoney, First House iu Ameri- The letter was from Ireland, and after the usual inquiries the clerk learned tliq time that the ves sel bearing tho letter arrived. As an experiment lie placed it in tho hands of a carrier, who was instruc ted to deliver it at the end of Pier. Tho house was a sailor’s hoarding house, and strange as it may seem, Patrick Mahoney was found. When the letter was open ed the only contents wero found to lie a draft for $400. John Sherman has been taking a lusty look at the solid south, and returns to Washington expressing pleasure at his reception and at tiie abundant evidences of the south’s prosperity and lawfulness. This expression will probably stand un til the next election time, when Mr. Sherman will be apprehensive that the south is hntching a new rebellion, and will declare that it is a shiftless and tumultuous sec tion.—[Ex. |P*in
