THE SPRING ELECTIONS.

Municipal and township elections
have already been held this Spring in
several States East and West. In New
Hampshire an election has also just
taken place for Governor, Legislature,
etc. Each canvass has resulted in a
decided Union triumph. The net gain
in the State of New York over last fall
is nearly twenty per cent, and much
more over "a. In Iowa and Maine we
have done still better.
These victories are significant. They
indicate the steadfast determination Of
the people to adhere to the principles
in which they have heretofore triumph
ed over rebellion and copperism.

New Hampshire Gone Union by
over 5000 Majority.

In spite of the superhuman efforts
made by the Democracy in the New
Hampshire election held last Tuesday,
the State has gone Union by over o.
600 majority. Nine out of twelve State
Senators are elected, and there will be
a hundred majority in the House. This
is better than the most sanguine had
anticipated. 1t is gain of two thou
sand over the majority at the last cleo
ton of Lincoln, and it is thought that
complete returns will show our ma
jority to be equal to the unprecedented
figures of last fall. This will do for
to-day. s

Amusing Experiments on Rats.

An amusing experiment on rats was
recently perpetrated in a mercantile
house in Petersburg, Virginia. Two
Of these animals had been trapped, and
it was decided to try the effect of whis-
ky upon them. Forty drops were ad-
ministered to each of them by force,
and the result awaited. They were
placed in wide, deep box, into which
some gravel had been thrown, A sau-
Ger of whiskey was placed therein
For a while all was silent, each rat
having seated himself in corner,
where he remained as morose as rat
could be. By and by, however, the
liquor began to work. The rats be-
gan to smile, and play with their tails,
then to jump 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
thrn twice forty drops. And now they
got glorious. They kissed each other.
They wrestled and played about
They revisited the saucer, and got mad
over it; and rough and tumble fight
ensued, which lasted until both were ex-
hausted Then they remained for a
while, each with paw to his nose,
grinning at the other Finally both
fell asleep, and while they were glori-
ously unconscious, terrier was drop
ped before them, and the curtain falls.
We have often seen two legged''rats
cut just such pranks, under similar in
fuences-we have some Upper San
dusly Gratis" any one of whom will
hide whole saucer full under his vest
without squirming, and like Oliver
Twist, cry for more.

1t seems that President johnson has
ordered the Governor of Louisiana not
to permit the newly elected mayor OF
New Orleans, who is an ex-rebel Of the
worst kind, to be installed into Office.
1t is also said that ssAndroo" told a
Pennsylvania .deputation of Cops, a
few days ago, that they had better go
home and change their ticket. He

N Some one has invented paper
socks. They are to be made Of clear
paper, or paper and muslin combined.
The inventor designs them to be worn
over or under ordinary socks in cold
weather, and thus keep in or cause the
feet to retain their natural heat 1t is
claimed they can be furnished cheap
er than washing can be done. If so,
they will come rapidly into use. II
this experiment proves success, pa
per will be substituted for a great va
riety of articles where now cotton and
linen is used. Probably we shall
soon adopt the japanese fashion OF
paper pocket handkerchiefs.

soldiers, bounty.

The Lower House of Congress has, by
vote almost unanimous, passed tire bill.
Egualizing Bounties. This act gives to
each soldier uniform bounty of 500 per
year, or $s15 per month, for actual term OF
service, deducting what has already been
paid. The Senate, actuated by the same
sense OF justice to the soldier, will, without
doubt, be qnite as ready to adopt the bill,
and we may confidently expect that in a
few days it will be a law. AS all sppllca-
tions are considered in turn 1t is evident at
once that they should be prepared and per-
fected as early as possible.

S1rnr Rnv Findn Homo.

Yesterday morning the police found a
boy, some twelve years Of age, asleep near
the depot, and took him to the station house.
While there he was visited by Marshal Muir
ply, who found him crying, apparently in
much distress. In answer to the Marshars
questions, he said that his name was Isaac
Soles; that he belonged to Bellefontaine, o.;
that his mother, widow, had sent him from
home to find employment, and that, on his
search for something to do, he had got in
the cars and came to this city.
AS the boy seemed anxions to earn liv-
ing by his labor, the Marshal, after some in
quiry, found a gentleman, farmer from
Fairfield county, by the name of W. H.
Cranor, who, upon seeing and conversing
with the boy, agreed to take him home and
give him employment. The boy was de-
lighted with the offer, and left the city with
Mr.. Cranor yesterday afternoon.
