Ha was a aueeeaa In hla way, and 11 was not a bad way. Ha did no harm. Us did much good, for ho gars a pissing plaaaura and gin It frequently, and loll tha odor ol good precepte that llngcrsd with ns. Bo was -Airop and Ben Franklin, eoadonsad and abridged. Bla qualnt-phouatto spelling spiced his maxims and proverbs, and mads Ur m attractive. It Is carious how wa are at tracted by Uts wias pithy sayings of an unlet tered man. It Is the contrast between his mind and bis collars. We like contrasts and we like metaphors and striking comparisons. The more they art according to nalnra and every day life, the better they plasae the masses. The cultured scholar will try to Impress ns by •eying "tactile d sealants avaral," bat Billings brings the same Idea nearer home whan he rays, "whan a man starts down hill,] It looks like everything Is greased for the occasion.” We cen almoet see the fellow eliding down. It It an old thought that has been dressed ap Sat for centuries, and suddenly appears In every day clothes. Wise men tell os that the people do notthtelf lor themselves, but follow their leaders Innriltics and religion. Thatle true, and t" It tame and old. Bat whin I asked the original Bill Arp how hewts going to vote be said he eonldent tell me until he saw Colonel Johnson, and Colonel Johnson wonldent know until be talkfd to Judge Underwood, and Judge Under wood wouldent know until he haarn from Aleck Stephens, but who tells Aleak bow to vole I’ll be dogged ir I know. _ tbst was the same old truth, but It wu an- drmed, and tborefore more forclblo. The Bevel methods Adapted for aeUfog Bid of Fetby Bodeats. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. In a former article the natural history of our household companion, the sly old rat, wit considered, as was also hit timid, gentle little cousin, the ‘'bans mans,’’ as the Germans call It. How to get rid of these, or at least what teems to us to be the superabundance ol them, is a question which, although not of mneh Interest to the naturalist, It often of ab sorbing Interest to the good honsewlb, or the dealer In inch commodities as rats and mice most admire. The abundance of these peats It only an other Instance of disturbing what naturalists eall tha balance of nature. This balanoe Is try nleely adjusted, and cne very apt to be afrat of order by the Interference of man. Originally we bad no such animals, but as commerce extended they "came down unto ue In ehlpe,” and now have a foothold which all the poisons, rat catchers, weasier, ferrets, owls and man himself can not dislodge. They are such good scavengers that it may be they came here because some such animal Was necessary to crowded population. Per haps it Is an example of the truthful principle ol the survival of the fittest. What beast, bird or flah would do the work 10 well? The •mount ol cubage eaten by them yeuly may be wanted by tons, but they ue sometimes bold enough to purloin a bit of cheese, nibble pie crust or run away with a bank note for their neats, we unite In condemning them wholesale. They certainly do considerable damage at times, but It Is not from a wanton deelre to do evil, but only In pursuanoeot the right claim- id bjr ell—"health and the pursuit of htppl. The great trouble Is that rodents multiply so lest. Mother rat hu as many at Ive fami lies in a you, with from fen to fifteen chil dren at a birth.

In fut I hid forgotten Billings’ real name, and 1 thought this man was a Methodist preacher. He looked like one, a very solemn one. Ills long hair wu puled In the middle and silvered with gray. Hit face wu heavily bearded, bla eyea well set and hie moulh drooped at the corners. We sat facing each oilier for a tow moments, when suddenly he leaned forward and saldi "Friend Arp, uy something." I knew then that Mr. Carle- ton had eurpriaed me and that this was Bil lings,for he had told me that his friend Billings was going to call. We soon gnt friendly and la milliar, and suddenly he Inquired, "bow Is my friend Big John?” "Dead," said I. "And how is that faithfhl steer?’’uld he. "Dead," I replied. With a mock sorrow he wiped hit eyes and remarked, ."beuco thuo tears." (Metre.)
