We know of three methods Firs*,
the old French plnn. This is follow
ed, chi* fly it Faiis, by uien who make
it a special business. They take a
deep tub, with water on the I ottoui
and a little elevation in the middle
like an Island, on wliich is only ft
place lor just uue rat to sit on. This
tr p is covered, and has a laipe-vulve
opening flown ward. On ihe middle of
this valve a piece ol fiied poik or
cheese is placed, and when the rat
walks on it *o get the cheese the vaT
ve goes down, drops the rat into the
water, r.ntl moves Lack in position.
A road is made from the rat-hole to
the tup of the tuh by means of pieces
of hoaid luhfied with cheese, so as to !
make the waik more attractive for the
rats. In the coutse of the night
sotne *en, twenty, or even more rats
may go down, and ift e island was
not there they would he found most
all alive in the morning, quietly
swimming atouod; but the provision
of the little island eaves the ti.ouble
ofkilling them, hecause their egotistic
instinct of preservation causes them
to fight for the exclusive possession
of the is! <nd, on wliich in tl.o morn

tary possession, all the others leing
killed t.rid drowned around him. Sec

one of the Friends. TI o floor near
the rat-hole is covered with a thin
layet of a most caustic potassa. When
the rats walk on this it makes their
fe<*t sorej fhosn they lick wilh their
tongues, which makes tlmir mouth
sore, and the resui* is that they shunn
the locality,'not alone, hut appear to
tell all the rats in the neighborhood
about it, and eventually the house is
entirely abandoned by thpm, not
withstanding the houses around ate
lull of rats. Third,the Du ch meth
od. This is said to he u-ed success
fully in Holland. We have, howevet,
never tried it. A number of rats left
to themselves in a very large trap or
ooge, with no lood whatever, their
c,avii g hunger will c n use them to
fight, and the weakest will be eaten
hv the strongest. After a short tint
the fight is renewed, and the next
weakest is the victim, and so it goes
on till one strong rat is left. When
this one has eaten the last remaius
of {he others it is set loose. The ant
mai has now acquired such a taste
for rat flush that he is the terror of
all ratrlo'.i, goiug about seeking ha
rat h.e may devour In an incredibly
short time the premises are abandon

San Antonio, Texas, Apail B.—The
first of a seties ol hull fights took
place in this town Saturday. Thous
ands ot people were in aitendance
from points distanisome twenty miles
on each side of the river. The novo!-
1 ty consi-ted in the advertised pon'est
of an African lioness with a Texan
bull. At 4 o'clock in' th° ufrernodk a
hands. >me, well-built TVx m bolJ, with
stout, short horns was turned into a
large iron cage prepared for thp occa
sion. Shortly after 4 o’clock a lioness
was let into the c g with the bull--
She was full grown but evidently old
uud emaciated? Several yegis ago
she killed her keeper and by her ap
pearance one would imagine she had
been c< ntiunaliy punished ver since.
Ou entering the csga she sprang upon
the bull, almost leaping over him.—
This was evidently in play, us sho
did not attempt to bite or scratch him
The animals then sepaiated ands um
terod off in opposite direction:*, After
a few minutes of quiet play the hull
: began to wa cti the antics of his op
ponent a3 site rushed mound th cage,
and he charged at bet furiously m*v
tirnes. iSbe managed to escape hiu
eajh time, however, for about five
minutes. At length the bull'made tin
extraoidinary charge, and catching
file lioness on his liDins tossed her
about six leet ir. the air, then inclin
ing his head a little he caught her
again ou his horns as she came down,
twirled her about in the air and flung
her some twen y feet from him. The
lioness fell to the ground iik a log i
and was motionless lor perb ps half a
minute. Wi en she r covered she
gianced hastily at the bull an the n
dashed against the cage as if she
wished to escape. The ' nil, do-bous
of completing his viernry, again
charged the uiifo tuna'e queen, to-s-'d
hor hig er tio.n before, and as she
fell gored her almost to death. She
wa hors du combat , and the bull not 1
having received a sera eh was let out
of the arena The lioness will die, —
This afternoon “Old George” the linn
will attact the bull, and as ho nearly
broke out of hie chage to g r at the
victorious native of vesterday it
is probable the fight will be long and
fierce,
dflark Twain' Tight Hoots .
I had on new shoes. They were
number sevens when 1 started, bui
were no more than five* tftnv and still
diminishing I walked two hours iri
those shoes after that before we reach
ed home. Doubtless I cot’ld hi ve
'he realm’s sympathy for the asking.
Manv people have never had tho
headache or thp toothache, end I am
one of those rnysolf but everybody
has worn tight shoes for two or three
hours, and known the luxury of tak
ing them off in a retired place and
seeing his feet swell up and obscure
the firmament. Few of us will ever
forget the exquisite hour we were
married. Once whan I was n cahow,
ba.-b'ul cub, I took a plain, unsenti
mental country girl to a comedy one
n g't. I bad known her a day; she
seen t> 1 divine; I wore my new boots,
A thee and of 'be firs' half hour she
said; ‘Why do you fidget so with your
said I : 'Did 1?’ Then I pur my
| attention there .nd kept st’.ll. At the
lend of another hulfshe said : ‘ ’A hy do
you any,‘Yes, oh, yes,’and Tlet ah,
ho, certainty, very true !’ to everything
I say, when half the time they are
entiiely irrelevant answers?’ I blush
ed and explained that I bad been a
little absent minded. At the en i oi
another half hour she said. ‘Ptease
wtiy do you grin so steadfastly at va
cancy and y-1 look so sad? I explain
ed that I always did when I sat re
flecting. An hour passed and then
she turned and contemp'ateci me with
her earnest eyes and 6aid;'Why do
you cry all the time?’ I explained that
very iunny comedies always made me
cty. At last human nature surrender
ed and I secretly slipped my boots
iff. That was a mistake; I wan not
able to get them on any more It wss
a lainy night, there weie no ornnibuv
ses going r.ur way, and as i walked
home burning up with shame, with
the girl on one arm and my boots
under the other, I was an object
worthy of some compassion, especial
ly in those moments of martyrdom
when I had to pass through the glare
that fail upon the pavements from
street lamps. Finally this child of
the forest said; ‘Where are your
boots ?’and bsing taken unprepared
I put a fitting finish to the follies oi
the evening with the stupid remark :

The great danger that threatens the
political character of the next liousq

where the cry of the sham Independ

of a long war, is naturally disorgan

duced l i pentiry ; her men of authori
ty and culture lound thamselvea sub

and depraved. Their occupation and
property departed hand ir, bund. For
‘ a time, when the possibility of relief
dawned upon them, they Lauded to-1

The present epring, so f.r, has beea
qui'e favorable for farm operations.
Just enough rain has fallen to furn
ish sufficient moisture uud the pre
vailing open and warm weather has
J. lapid geruimuation sod
i vigorous growth. Most of the corn
is up and in some iuatances has beeu
“sided out.” Tho stand is universal
ly good. Many of the farmers are
putting in cotton with ail possible
speed. This is probably wisdom on
the part of those who bavo plenty of
seed and intend iu plaut largely, bat,
as cool nights and heavy packing
rains in April may come, we think
j the small planters aurl these witU
| whom Need in scarce would be prudent
jto wait till near the middle of the
mouth. Cotton being auu plant, is
easily given a backset by cool ueathei
and rarely recovers from such injury.
The bite rain has greatly benefited
the oat crop, and the fields now look
groeu uud flourishing. With any
thing hke favorable se,.soa iu tha
future we see no reason why a good
crop should not crown the efforts of
the tiller of the soil the pre-ent year.
VVe are afraid, however, that the
acreage cl cotton is too large. Larg**
cotton fluids means heavy guano bills,
and with a certainty of low prices ov
en n large crop of cotton will leave
the producer no profit for hia labor.
