Experiment with Rats.

The Petersburg. (virginia) Index
says:
An amusing experiment on rats was
perpetrated in one Of our large mer-
camille houses on Sycamore street yes
terday. Two Of these animals had
been trapped, and it was decided to
try the effects Of whiskey upon them.
a." Forty drops" was administered to
each of them by force and the result
awaited. They We're placed in wide,
deep box, into which some trash and
gravel had Seen thrown. A saucer Of
whlskey was placed therein. For a
while all was silent. each rat having
seated himself in corner, where they
remained as morose as q rat could t..
By-and-by, however. the liquor began
to work. The rats began to smile and
play with their tails, then to jrmp up
and squeak. then to fall down and roll
over. Finally, one of them found the
saucer, and with the peculiar curiosity
attaching to the race, dipped his nose
into it. He drank, and the noise of
his drinking brought his companion to
his side. They drank as though they
were really fond Of the stuff and, it IS
estimated. took more than twice "for-
ty drops And now they got glori-
GUS. They kissed each other, an act
two rats we're never guilty Of before.
They wrestled and kicked mp shines
generally. They revisited the saucer
and got mad over it, and a rough and
tumble fight ensued, which lasted until
both were exhausted. They then re.
mained for while, each with paw
to his nose, grinning at each other
Finally both fell asleep, and while glo.
rionsly unconscious, . terrier was drop
ped beside them. and the curtain fell.

What ID Sa,eratus.

Wood is burnt to ashes, ashes are
lixivatcd, ley is the result. Ley is
evaporated by boiling, black salts is
the residum. The salt undergoes puri-
fication by fire, and the potash of COM
mere is obtained. BY another pro-
cess, we change potash into pearlash.
Now put these in sacks and place them
over distillery wash-tub, where the
fermentation evolves carbonic acid gas,
and the pearlash absorbs it and is rem
dered solid the product being heavier,
whittier and drier, than the pearlash.
1t is now saleratus. How much salts
of ley and carbonic acid gas human
stomach can bear and remain healthy
is a question for a saleratus eater.
Some people say saleratus will not
harm the stomach. 1t is ley.

Getting Married.

A rather laughable transaction took
place week or more ago in the town
of De Witt, Clinton county,. Michigan,
in which Iowa and business are so in
termixed that it requires an adept to
distinguish between the two. A milk
safe pediar called at house to sell a
safe. The woman informed him that
she was widow, and would much
rather have man. The pedlar inform.
ed her that If she would take a safe
he would send her man. She took
it, and the pedlar went on his way re.
joicing and soon sent man, who he
ascertained had no bosom companion,
and directed him to the widow. Going
on, he called ut house to sell safe,
and was informed that the man was a
widower, and would prefer wife. lie
told him if he would take q safe, he
would direct him where he could get
a woman. He took the safe, and the
pedlar directed him to the same widow
When he reached her. he was just
about an hour too late, the first having
just secured the prize. The kind-heart
ed woman, however. sent him to a sec
ond widow, whom he secured and
both loving couples were married thai
afternoon.

Rocky Mountain Scenery,

Mr.. Bowle's Of the Springfield Mass. J
Republican, writing from Denver, Col
orado, says:
As To the mountains, as a natural
spectacle, they are FIRST cousins 10 the
Alps. When the Pacific Railroad is

wanderings in the European Switzer-
land, three summers ago, spread before

huge semi-circle, rise the everlasting
hills, one upon another, one after anoth-

reach the broad snow covered range
that marks the highest summits. and

their far distant shores. To the north
rises the king of the range, Longs
Peak, whose top is 1900 feet high :
to the south, giving source to the Ar.
kansas and the Colorado, looms up its
brother, Pixies Peak, to the height of
l4,6OO feet. These are the silent fea-
lures OF the belt before us. but the in

scarcely less commanding, and not
much lower in heighth. Right up from
Denver stands the mountain top that

No town that | know Of in all the

Fashions for the Hair,

A Saratoga correspondent, who ap

pleasure in mentioning the fall of the
waterfalls monstrous invention Of
the enemy OF beauty, which should

Heavy Safe Robbery,

On the night of the 26th ult., the
fire proof building at Cambridge, Hen
ry county, ILL.,, used for Offices for the
County Treasurer, County Clerk, etc.,
was entered, and the heavy iron safe
broken open and robbed of some $40.
900 or more in United States bonds,
greenbacks, etc, etc. The burglars
missed some $4,000 or more which
they did not happen to get hold Of
Active efforts are being made to detect
and capture the robbers. The loss
will fall heavily upon the people Of
that vicinity, as they owned the bonds
and money and had deposited them
there for safe-kecping.

Cannot Please Everybody.

South. There is such cry out against
the cold, that am afraid they'll put
me down if stop much longer in this
North quarter"
So the wind few from the South, and
the Sun was master Of the day, and
rain fell abundantly.
"Oh, please to turn me from the
South" said the Weathercock to the
Wind again. "1'he potatoes will all
be spoilt, and the corn wants dry
weather, and while am here, rain it
will and, with the heat, and the wet,
the farmers are just mad against me-"
So the wind shifted into the West,
and there came soft, drying breezes
day after day.
Oh dear!" said the Weathercock.
Here's pretty to do ! such evil looks

is getting parched up, and there is no

"why everybody has caught cold, ev-

of Gov. Brough. He is gentleman
of much force of character and execu-
tive ability. and will worthily fill the

Brougl's decease has caused wide.
spread grief. His fame was not con-
fined to the limits of the State, at the
head Of whose public affairs he has
stood in the most important period in
the history of the nation. His great
ability, and the energy and directness
of his character have made him an ex-
ecutive of which any State might be
proud while his manly and unfinch-

and Nation has given him reputation
as wide as the country. The people
regret his death.

~ AMELIA q. WMET

i wandered out one summer night,
Twas when my years were few:
The wind was singing in the light,
And was singing too;
The sunshine lay upon the hill,
The shadow in the vale.
And here and there a leaping rill
Was laughing on the gale
One feecy cloud upon the air
Was all that met my eyes
1t floated like an angel there
Between me and the skies:
clapped my hands and warbled wild,
As here and there few.
For was but careless child
And did as children do.
The waves came dancing 'er the seS
In bright and glittering bands;
Like little children wild with glee.
They linked their dimpled hands
They linked their hands, but, ere I caus.t
Their sprinkled drops OF dew.
They kissed my feet, and, quick ss thou: It
Away the ripples few.
The twilight hours, like birds, few hy.
As lightly and rs free
Ten thousand stars were in the sky.
Ten thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dinpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught star in its embrace,
Aud held it trembling there.
heard the laughing wind behind
A-playing with my hair:
The breezy fingers Of the wind
How cool aud moist they were!
heard the night bird warbling o'es
Its soft enchanting strain
/ never heard such sounds befors,
Aud never shall again.
Then wherefore weave such strains 20 thess
And sing them day BY day,
When every bird upon the brel-s
Can sing sweeter lay
I'd give the world for their sweet art,
The simple, the divine
I'd give the world to melt one heart,
As they have melted nina.

A Remarkable Steamer.

Down in shop in little Delaware,
the men often try to get ahead of each
other in the way of hard yarns, but it's
hard to beat Aleck. One Of the men
the other day, who had been on the
Ohio, was speaking Of the light
draught Of some Of the steamers out
there, when old Uncle Bill spun a long
yarn about steamer he saw down
country that could go over any mead
ow with light dew on it.
When he had finished, Alcck came
in with
"Oh, that's nothing. When / was
working at Sam Harlan's last spring,
he launched a steamer for Morgan that
didn't touch the water by an inch and
thrce-quarters."
