by Austin Brooks, quoting the resolutions Of
the Wisconsin Conference on the State of the
Country, INDUCES in billingsgate unworthy a

Methodist preachers of Wisconsin:
"The time has come when no respectable
family should tolerate the loathsome presence
of one of these scoundrels-one Of these po-
litical preachers-in their circle. Watch

Care the Bear, and his Little Friend

Caro- the Bear, and his Little Friend.
A French nobleman owned tame old bear
which he kept in q stable near his house
There lived old Caro-,
One cold winter evening poor. thinly clad
boy came that way, and because be had mo-
where else to stay over night, crept into the
bear's stall, and made himself comfortable
ON Caro's soft bed. BY and by the old bear
came home. The beggar boy was already
fast asleep, for he was very tired. Anybody
would have thought that the bear would have
been very angry, and have torn the boy all to
pieces, and eaten him up; but it was not so.
He not only let the poor boy rest, but he
clasped him with his paws, and drew him
close up to his thick fur, so that he might not
be cold. This hotel seemed very fine to the
boy, and the next evening he returned, and
was treated in the same friendly manner by
Caro-. Indeed, from this time he was the
constant and welcome guest of the bear, who
divided with him his meals, and became very
fond of him.ss eYa 8t~as
i After awhile the boy died. The bear grieys
ed for him deeply, ate but seldom, and went
often with dropping head to the grave OF
his little friend.
Little Master s'Snappish can learn many
things from this animal. When his brother
or little sister is in his place, he flies into a
passion, and chases the intruder away. If
either one of them wants piece of his cake,
he talks very Grossly. He should 60 to sshool

FROM the Dayton w. JoafHai.I
The rats are swarming the country west
and northwest of this. They seem to be mi
grating southward, and the weather seers
predict that there win be very severe win
ter. In many places the rats have destroyed
the corn, sweet potatoes and tomatoes and
they have got into the orchards, and climbing
the trees, they have destroyed much fruit.
The great rat army reached New Castine,
Drake county, the other day, and forthwith
their scouts took possession of everything
eatable. A man in the place, whose stable
floor had given out, determined to have il
replaced with new one. On examining in
to the matter. it was ascertained that the
space under the floor was literally packed
full Of rats The owner Immediately crcu-
lated the word, and all the idle men and dogs
in the village were collected together, and
the place Was surrounded. The workmen
then proceeded to remove the floor, when
the men and dogs pitched 10, and began the
work of slaughter. They did no. cease un-
til they had slain l,505 rats y And the
space in which these vermin were gathered
was only 20 by "a feet, and II feet deep
The statement is made TO US by truthful men
who witnessed the slaughter, and may be
taken for the truth, extravagant as it may be

Address OF the Southern Loyalisfs-The
Laclede Races.


Laciede Races.
New York, Oct. Is.
A Tribune special of yesterday says that
the Southern loyalists prepared an address
this morning to the people of the Z. s. be,
fore leaving for Springfield. They urge the
peonle to insist in behalf of the true loyalists
in still further continuance precedent to the
admission of the rebel States than those
enunciated in the Congressional amendment,
because the present State governments OF the
South are not legal bodies, and therefore cans
not legally ratify the amendment. They
plead that the people insist that their repre>
sentatives shall, at the next session, declare
the present State organization in the South
illegal, and proceed to organize governments
based upon the principles of impartial loyal
suffrage. A committee of seven were ap-
pointed to keep the subject before the peo-
pie until the final decision of the reconstruc-
ton question by Congress. The COMMITTEES
consists of Col. Moss, of Mo-, President ;
Coy. Hamilton, of Texas, Bingham, OF Ala,
Tucker, of Va, Griffin, of Ala, Eaton, oi
Tenn, and Randolph, Of La. The loyalists
deputation is now dissolved. Everywhere
their pleas for impartial suffrage have been
enthusiastically received, even in the sup
posed strongholds of conservatism in Indiana
and Illinois, and everywhere they have met
the most cordial audiences.
