A wholesale drug store on Magaziue J
street is the happy pjssensor of a young
end doiueeiioattKi uliigstor. This little
crocodile has become quite the pet aud

diog tears and showing repeutauce when- 1
ever il isiotiud uecesnsry to correct him.
: It wm tMGUtd by the clerks in the e«-
tablishmlut that as the alligator had
reach, d bis third birthday, and increased
to three feet in length, to utilize him, to
put huu to some other employment than
that of tuere pet. At first it was thought
that he might be turned lose to reduce
the Republican vote of this State, by
niokiug up stray pioaniuuies, for whom
he is commonly supposed to have a great
love; but this was thought a chimerical
and dangerous enterprise and, therefore,
given up.
It was finally concluded to make use of
Giocky, the alligator, as a cat. The store
teamed with rata aad inice, who made
daily inroads on the quinine and ipecac ;
and it is well known that alligators have
a special and inestimable hatred toward
rats.
A rat, to praotice on, was caught, the
other day, imprisoned in a barrel of calo
mel. There he had spent at least a week
an this meagre, insufficient and injurious
t; be was thin, weak and melancholy;
health was broken—bis constitution
je.
Rat and alligator were put together in
box, and a tmtneroue iudienoe crowded
-ound to get the front plaoe. The two
- emies soon awoke to an appreciation of
ebaae.. The rat safely and snugly en
-onoed biiDU’ii in a corner. The alii-
«tor hesitated a second, scratched his
ead (metaphorically), and huving made
up his wind ns to the mode of attack, ad
vanced slowly toward the rat with wide
ope jaws. Tbe rat trembled; there was
no escape—nothing but the wide open
mouth of the ulligator beforo him. With
out hesitation, like Onrtius, he jumped
straight into the yawning gulf, aud get
ting a good held on the lower lip of tbe
alligator, swung himself to the ground.
The “Saurian” gave a squeak and
swuug himself around, the rat finally let-
tiug go, victor in the first round. The
alligator, however, was not daunted, and
advanoed with the same tactics. The rat
this time, by a most agile movement,
leaped entirely over the alligator. Get
ting behind him be now proceeded to
oha -v and gnaw away. The unwieldy an
imal ouuid hot get around to defend bis
hiud legs.
By o good use of bis tail, the alligator
again got free and advanced desperately,
though with flagging oourage, at the dar
ing indent. Wuh equal success, the rat
again sprung into the air, alighting on tbe
alligator’*' buck. Tbe fight was over then.
The alligator could not shake his enemy
off, could uot dislodge him ; and finally
B ave up tbe fight, laying himself down on
is belly in a submissive attitude.
The rat was set at liberty, and given
tbe run of all the drugs aud medicines,
whilst tbe poor alligator was doomed to
disgruoe aud ridicule. His meater no
longer fe*-ls proud of his rough pet, and
-ffers to go iu batbiug among a thousand
'ull-growu crocodiles, without the least
‘‘ogrr.—y. 0. Picayune.
The Cadi's Berea|a-A Pern Inn
Story.
A terrible story oomes to us from Per
is. In-one of the districts a laboring
man had been sentenced to be bastina
doed f«*r some offense, receiving one
hundred and flt'y blows on the soles of
hisfect. Ashe sank down on his knees
the sentence bad been carried out,
a!<) ..was believed that his injuries were
jni: a serious character, be oalled the judge
to his aide, intimating that he had a tern
ble Meerut to reveal. As be oould only
speak iu a whisper, tbe judge placed his
~sr to the lips of the fainting mau, when
he latter seized it with his teeth, and in
is agony bit it completely off.
In Persia, the bws of an ear, no matter
nder wtmt circumstances, is considered
lasting disgrace, and tbe judge so felt it.
i ut once gave orders to have the pris-
er carefully cared for, assuring the phy-
iciaus that if they did not save his life,
L eir own should pay the penalty, aud
hey succeeded.
Wbeu tbe prisoner was fully recovered
e whs sentenced to have bis teeth pulled
ut one by one, iu presence of the mob,
nd this frightful sentence was. carried
ut, two days being exhausted iu the
ork. No pains were taken with the lior-
Me job, and the jaws were broken and
a* tied until the whole lower part of the
>tn’s face was n mangled mass, and his
erings were so great that mauy cf tbe
eu fainted in witnessing the operation,
wo days after the little life in the min
as beaten out of the soles of bis feet,
“d the judge, having fully satibGi d his
first for vengeance, committed suicide.

—Talking and eloquence are not the
me thing; to speak and to speak well
, two thing*.—Ben Jonson.
A person that would secure to himself
t deference will, perhaps, gain his
nt by sileuce as effectually as by any-
g ho can speak. — iShc stone.
Talkers aud futile persons are com-
ly vain and credulous withal; for he
talketh what he kooweth will also
f what he knowetb not.—Bacon.
Brisk talkers are usually slow think-
There is, indeed, no wild beast
mefs to be dreaded thau a communicative
mall having nothiug to communicate.—
—There are many who talk on from
Ijpfefanoe rather than from knowledge*,
and who find tho former an inexhaustible
fnnd of conver.itttiou. —Uazlitt.
—The talkative listen to no one, for
they are ever speaking. And the first
•fiMbat attends those who know uot how
to keep Kilent is that they hear nothing.—
Plutarch.
. —'Tbe man who talks everlastingly and
jnomisouously, who seems to have >u * i-
hauetless magazine of sound, crowds so
many, words into his thoughts that he
r Wmfn obscures and frequently conceits
them.— Washington Irting.
