RAT-CATcHERs.- rat-cat,hers OF the
CITY Of Paris have Just held meeting at the Hotel
de- Vile their deliberations we're presided over by
the Inspector of Highways, who also exercises Jufs
d,c,ion over the cutters and sewers The object Of
the meeting was 10 take measures for the coming
rat-campaign million and half Of these vermin
are suppo.ed al this moment 10 be undermining
Paris. II was decided that nicotine should be the
noison used in their determination. Last year
l43 300 rats were killed, and their tails were de-
nosi,ed at the Hotel de Vile, IN proof OF the fact
AMERICAN PosTAGE.-Last Monday, on
offering payment for a letter for America, destined
for the Atlantic, the clerk told me that the postage
had been reduced from 80 TO l6 sous. | wrote you
on this subject some time ago, and am glad TO ind
that the Collins steamers have been placed more
nearly ON par with their Liverpool rivals. The
l6 cents, however, the rate levied upon letter 10
apy paIt of England, only pays TO Liyerpool-the
American Post. Office charging the sea-cdrrIage 70
the recipient. Formerly the whole 80 were pocheIed
bv the English Government, leaving nothing 70
cover the ocean transit As 1t is, the postage Is re-
duced from 81 70 g. cents.
DEMOCRACY IN AMERIcA.-The thirteenth
edition of De Tocquevilles Democracy In America
has Just been issued In noticing this fact' Michei
Chevalier uses the following language It's curious
10 read such sentiments IN the columns OF mon
archlca journal like the Debafs
The 25th of February-I do not mean the 9Th
confirmed what NJ de TOcQueville had predicted ~
wears ago The Oath OF February was a sediuoh
which might have been avoided or repressed the
25,h was great event, OF incaculaoe reach railing
in with the designs of God and the bent OF lstory
1t " as the advent of Democracy and IN TINS sense,
the 2b of February still exists and Will not soon come
20 AN end We must regularlze the new regime OF
this II has great need We may hesitate about the
organic combinations to be adapted to this regime
We have CROPPED and felt our way before-we may
have TO do 1t again. But one thing is certain the
ace is Democratic and must remain so. Democracy
is the bass and cornerstone OF our epoch. 10 this
our laws and customs must conform
TELEMAcHUs IN HEBREW. - Fenelons
Telemachus, which has long since been translated
into all the European languages, but which had
never been rendered into any Eastern tongue, is
Just being published In Hebrew, In Posen, lPfussan
Poland This edition is especially intended for the
Jews Of Russia, and the publisher, NJ Samniter has
obtained permission from Nicholas to import into
his domnions as many copies he sell, free Of
all duty
LIBRARY CATALOGUE. The Library of
the Paris Observatory has Just received valuable
addition to It's scientific catalogue. When Lalande,
the French astronomer, died In 1907 he left vast
number Of manuscripts TO be divided among his nu-
merous heirs. One of his descendants, an officer IN
the army, has been for long time engaged in at
tempting to get these manuscripts together again
In this attempt he has at last succeeded, and has
made present of the whole forming thlrtysix vol
umes, 20 NJ Arago. The latter, fearing that they
might again become separated, has, in his turn,
caused them 70 bo dcPositcd at tho Observatory.
BARRor's BoAR.-The Chariuari has been
very faceous of late at the expense OF Odilon Bar
rot and that gentlemans passion for the chase has
come in for large share Of carlcature. M. Barrot
hunts wild boars In the forests OF Asne the Depart
ment that he represents in the Assembly, and some
time ago was fortunate enough to kill one Upon
this the Char,rar published full-sized burlesque,
intended a design for statue to be erected to this
wonderful huntsman. 1t always speaks OF HIM as
Odon Nimrod No one has been more amused al
this than the orator himself who has been for some
time seeking an opportunity to take goodnatured
revenge. This opportunity, says a journal of the
loca has al asst A
em Nimrod Ilumphed over a second Wild boar
with the assistance of the peasants he caused to
be skinned and dressed, and then sent it by diligence
TO the Editor of the Charrari, with the compliments
Of 0dilon Nimrod. But the news of this exploit
arrived Paris before the boar itself and, previous
TO receiving the peace offering, buriesque more ao-
surd than ever appeared in the efervesclng little
newspaper NJ. BarIots skill In the chase is repre-
sened being due entirely TO his prominence as an
orator When he hears wild boar coming he takes
classic attitude and fixes upon him an earnest gaze
The boar naturally sits down and says to hun self,
Bless my soul what can that bold gentleman want
with ne" 0dilon begins, inspiring himself from
Cicero slightly adapted, however, to suithe clrcum-
stance, How long, Wild boar, wilt thou abuse
our patience How long wilt thou ravage our
forests, decmate our focks, worry our kittens and
destroy our peace mind How long wilt thou es-
cape the unerrIng aim OF our fowling pieces F" Al
the tenth How long the monster closes one eye,
and the thirteenth the other and before the orator
reaches the climax, he generally yields to the SOM
nifeTous influence of his eloquence. NJ Barrot
then goes up to him, places the muzzle Of his rife
against the skull Of the ravager and blows his brains
out II may be proper TO state that the charrdri de
MES having received any such present from NJ Bar
rot declares that in the course Of time the boar
should arrive, II knows very well what construction
20 put upon the sentiments OF the donor. Wild boar
Is VIGOROUSLY mdigesube, and NJ. Barrot's plan IS
nothing less than 10 tempt the editors to an early
death, through the medium Of a seductive but
,Teaoherous steak They would lose IN VI BarTot
one OF their most inexhaus;lbe sources of fun for
