MISCELLA A N Y
A Chapter on Rats.

The January number of the London Quarterly
Review has q most curious article on rats
The author diScourses upon all kinds OF rats,
viz the brown rat, the black rat, and the wa
ter rat. The former, he saiG, went over to Eng
land with William the conqueror, and though
he has fought gallantly Tor supremacy, his foe,
the brown rat, still fourishes in Albion like a
green bay tree. The black rat may be found in
London in the neighborhood of the Tower in
Withdrawals brewery, and in the Whitechapel
Sugar Refinery The brown rats fight in COM
panies, and pursue a war to the death upon their
adversary.
Touching the disposition of rats to travel. the
writer states that scarce ship leaves port for Il
distant voyage, but it takes in its compliment OF
rats rs regularly as passengers; and in this man
ner the destructive animal distributes himself o.
yer the world, like an enterpriSing traveller, con-
tinually passing from one country to another
In this manner the hoary wanderer circumnavi-
gates the world oftener than did Captain Cook,
and sets his paws on twenty different shores.
He adds that when rats have once found their
way into u ship they are secure as long as the
cargo is on board, provided they can command
the great neeessary-water Ii this is well
guarded, they will resort to extraordinary expe-
dients to procure it. In rainy night they will
come on deck to drink, and will even ascend the
rigging to sip the moisture out OF the folds OF
the sails. When reduced to extremities they
will attack the spirit casks, and get SO drunk
they are unable to walk home. The land rat
will, in like manner, gnaw the metal tubes
which in public houses lead from the spirit store
to the tap and is as c0nvivial on these occasions
as his nautical relation. The entire race have q
quick ear for running liquid, and they constant
" eat into leaden pipes, and much to their as
tonishmeDt receive douche bath in cOnse-
onence. 1t is without doubt the difficulty of ob.
tanning water which causes them in many in
stances to desert the ship the moment she touch
es the shore On such occasions, they get, il
possible dry~footed to land, which they general
il accomplish by passing in Indian file down the
lnooring rope, though ifno other passage is pro-
vided they will not hesitate to swim In The
same manner they board ships frou The shore
and so well are their invading habits known
to sailors, that it is common when coming
into port to fill up the llawSer holes, or est
10 run the mooring cable through broom, the
projecting twigs of which etiectually stop the
ingress of these nautical quadrupeds. Their &C,
cupancy of the smaller bird breeding Islands
invariably ends in their driving away the feath-
cred inhabitants, for they plnnder the nests Of
their eggs and devour the young The puffins
have in this way been compelled to relinquish
Pufin's Island, off the coast of Carnarven.
The author says: ''The sagacity the rat in
pursuit of food is so great, that be almost wond.
ers at the small amount of its cerebral develop,

THE MYSTERIES OF THE LAw,-ln Maine. Mt
the term of the Supreme Court now being held
at Portland. bill of indictment was found by
the grand jury against JohDs. Sprague for the
crime of polygamy. The Indictment charg-
ed that Spragne, on the lth Of fSeptember. 1854,
beinq then and there an unmarried nan, was
lawfully married to Emily NJ Clark and that
afterwards, OH the 4th Of December. 1855, his
first wife being still living. he married Rhoda
Sylvia Stewart, thereby committing the crime,
of polygany Spragues counsel stated to tho
Court that the County Attorney was willing to
admit, and that the defence conld prove, that
the alleged first marriage va. not legal one,
Sprague at that time being married man and
having wife living. In fact, that he had tire"
wives; but the Indictment was based upon
the legality OF the second marriage. which was
not legal. and it must therefore fail. And fur
ther. if the government attempted to prove that
the first wife was living when Sp.ague married
the third one, he should object to snch evidence,
as there was no such allegation in the indict-
ment. This last position being sustained by the
Court. the County Attorney entered not. pres,
and thus Sprague. who was charged with hav-
ing too wives, got clear by having thee.
