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 in,. the strongest rat is found in soli tary possession, all the others leing killed t.rid drowned around him. Sec ond, the N' w Yo' k p an, iuvei.tod by 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 ed by all other iats, which will not come l ack before the canuibal rat lias left or died.— Exchange. .1 State On JFtre, Pundiy, Mt-rch 24, 187S, will long be remem* erod iu South Carolina for the wideapiead confiigations which enveloped the forest and many of the farcies in all portions of the State.

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 higher classes do not wear them jo the theater.’— Atlantic Monthly.
