The famous Anne rican reformer of the

the following interesting particulars Of her
visit to Rome and the Pops:

The AMAZING FEcUNDTY OF RATs.-
Observation proves that a pair of rats,with
their progeny, will produce in three years
no less a number than sir hundred ana
forty-sir thousand eight hundred and eight
and that this number will consume day by
day, as much food as 64,6s0 men, allow
ing, (as it has been proved by actual ex-
periment) that ten rats will eat as much as
one man. 1t is not improbable that the
rats in nearly every large city, consume
almost as much food as the Inhabitants
But rats are fortunately great garbage
eaters. and thus destroy thousands Of nox-
ious poisons. If it was all good whole
some food for man that rats made out to
get hold of their existence would be Sc
rious tax upon any community; but then
food being in a great measure garbage,
they are not wholly useless institutions IN
our large cities.

Indian Trouble on the Frontier,

The Keokuk (Iowa,) Gate City, Of Nov
vember 9th,says that there are unmistake-.
able indications of general hostile feeling
amongst the Indians along the Northern
border of Iowa. They have already COM,
mitted numerous depredations upon the
white settlers in the vicinity Of SpiritLake.'
The settlers were much alarmed, and have
applied to Governor Lowe, Of Iowa, for,
military protection. The Governor has
accordingly despatched theFrontierGu
Capt MARTIN, to the scene Of danger, and
has made urgent representations to the
President as to the necessity Of ordering
other troops to the threatened point % 81

The NEXT SESSION. The Madison
Journal has the following on what is re-
quired at the hands of the next legisla-
ture:
"The financial condition of the State
demands short and economical session.
The less legislation, the better. The less
tinkering with the new revised statutes,
the better. If any member has a private
|sckestahate .i u ameliorating the condition Of
humanity in general, our advice to him is
to Keep it private. The evils Of
|society cannot be cured by a single act Of
Legislation. Mankind cannot be cured Of
Eroguefy, dishonesty and crime by mere en-
actments. The people Of Wisconsin will,
this season, prefer sessioo of six weeks in
length, with very little expenditure of
money, to a session of four months and the
attendent expenses, even if the latter sho'd
Il result in volume Of laws as large as
Webster's dictionary, and as sage as the
combined wisdom of aWisconsin legislature
could be expected to make it."

SENSIBLE ADVICE TO THE SIcK.-The
most intelligent and observing physicians
will be unanimous in saying that slckly
inasinations, or disordered minds are more
difficult 10 cute than diseased bodies, and
that the real obstacle to cure the latter lies
IN the obstinacy of the former. Some
people but slightly diseased in body, make
themselves helpless by the operation of the
Imagination, and ply sicians find it impos-
abe TO cute the slight malady, until some
thing has been done for the mind. Hence
the advice often given to invalids to trav-
e., whereby their minds can be taken from
the body and The ills to which the mag
nation gives rise. We find in the papers
the following bit of advice to invalids,
coming from Charles Lamb, which will
be generally regarded as sensible: "You
@e too apprehensive of your complaint. =
The best way in these cases is to keep
youself as ignorant as the world was be

Do RIGHr.-A man that has soul
worth sixpence must have enemies. Il
is utterly impossible for the best man 10
please the whole world and the sooner this
is understood, and position taken in view
of the fact, the better. Do right though
YOU have enemies. You cannot escape
them by doing wrong, and it is little gain
to barter away your honor, and integrity
and divest yourself of moral courage te
gain what? Nothing. Better abide b,
the truth-frown down all opposition, and
rejoice in the feeling which must inspire
a free and independent man.

DANE CouNrr.-The republicans Of
Dane county have contrived to bring upon
themselves and the party a most o7erwhel-

buru to be beaten 1000 votes. This result
is unexpected and grevious. To one look
ing from distance without any telescope,
it appears that the local interests Of Mad

principles have been sacrificed for those OBJ
